i would appreciate feedback and feature-requests.

Your last picture posted here has a grammatical error - 'has been', not 'has be'.
Tried this app. Very smooth.. in fact, a bit too sensitive.. When i scrolled, I keep opened links accidentally.
A ligther background or something more 'relax' would be nice I think. This is a bit too 'dark' to my liking.

hey bro, i tried looking hard, couldnt find the gramatical error.... i might be going blind
as for the over sensitivity, rest assured i would be passing the feedback to obelix, the creator of the slider control; which is used in this app. I have to give him credit for making this awesome control that cuts the development by almost half when designing the UI portion
Would take that as a feature request and put it into my tast list for the next few releases
once again thanks for not only using the app, but providing feedback for it too. There is no point in people just using app without telling us, the developers, what they really want to see. Its after all you the users who end up using it on a daily basis. So thank you!
on a side note, got a nice email from microsoft this morning

Hi
Just wonder - would you consider making this reads the other Singapore e-news intead of just ST? While it's nice to have one app for one news site, I really don't like the idea of filling my screen with few icons for different newspaper.
Just a thought. Of cos', it would have to be a different names then. Ha..
But this programme so far running very smoothly and scrolling is good too. Well done!

hmm, it would increase the complexity of the app, introducing the possibilities of having more bugs. I would avoid that.
moreover i have done up the CNA app as well as the backend of Today app as well... just a matter of time before they become general release items as well
http://www.mobinauts.com/topic/110817-local-app-channel-news-asia/

It seems very cool...but I would like to have this for other newspaper...

the straits time with Windows Phone 7 theme. Nice touch
Definitely gonna try this out. Great development.

looks great! will try it out now

This is great, though wishing there are others like CNA or Newpaper
Also I'm getting this error on my HD2 once in a while after I quit or while using the app (can't take a screenshot for some odd reason)...but other than that, it's working fine. And I notice a 2 second lag when I scroll it way way up or down (till the icons are gone) before they appear again but meh, I could still live with it
Code:
STmobile.exe
ObjectDisposedException

System.Windows.Forms.Control.InvokeHelper(Delegate method, Boolean fSynchronous, Object[] rgobjArgs)

thanks for the bug report. i will fix this before the next release.
as for the CNA app, already done it. a few selected users are now testing it... would be available soon: http://www.mobinauts.com/topic/110817-local-app-channel-news-asia
here is another app i did initially: 4D and Toto http://spoolsmobile.appslah.com/
initally planned to do TNP as well, but i soon found out that TNP is slightly harder and they lack online content.

are there any alternatives for things like Australian or UK news? it looks amazing!

I reverted to old market since new market was very laggy on my EDGE network.I cant even migrate to 3G because in my country, 3G oprates at 2100Mhz band which has very poor indoor penetration,so its not worth paying premium price for 3G

Good.
blockbuster 2.4

not worried at all just an observation

The scrolling seems very laggy, also it looks like google is trying to save on the amount of ram the app uses by constantly loading and unloading images which really sucks.
The market would be so much smoother if it just loaded all tabs at once and cached the images

I admire your work...really...but, as a cm7 user, I would ask if can share your findings (about gingerbread os drain issue, 720p recording, video playback and maybe something else) with cm7 dev team...whenever possible
btw keep up the good work and thx!

Wow, a fresh new start !
I have a couple of questions while the tread is tidy
- Can you tell us what you did to improve 720p camcorder ? I definetely see an improvement but it seems not kernel related nor a special tuning of media_profiles.xml
- Is there already a language pack working with chameleon ?
Thank you for your great work

in apps words becomes after 1 or 2 minutes unreadable,mixing in eachother,how can i solve this?

Will the bug with accelermotemer preventing the phone to go to sleep be fixed within the next version?

Chameleon is good even for a BETA!.. I love the fact that DSP manager is back! hats of to Galnet n the team for taking into consideration the feedback from users..
I can foresee lots of improvement in coming weeks, keep up the good work guys!
P/s: love the new theme as well!

As I was saying previously before old thread was deleted, the cause of Android OS being high has been found and hopefully resolved.
As we haven't released a RC of Chameleon yet, all questions about how we have done this and done that will not be published until we are happy they work correctly. We don't want to cause more damage than good with temporary fixes, I hope you all understand this.

Mat.

galnet, I just want to say thank you... thank you for my new galaxy, fast as a shark, and stable as the wall from "300".

It does not work, as with Cyanogen, I don't think it is something we will be supporting as it is illegal in most countries.

Hi ,
is it not possible to use this app for Callrecording ??

I'd like to ask, what has been the cause for the Android OS bug that caused the battery drain? Sth. related to the motion sensor? Thx!

The rom is really great and fast.
Although i noticed a few things watching the battery stats:
-Network Location is active a lot, but its turned off in settings.
-Alarm manager is working almost all the time.
-The dialer is active a lot too, i used it only one time today.
-Other processes and apps are running too much i think
(scrolling the battery stats is pretty slow and laggy, this is probably the fault of the official base rom)

I want to start with saying that this theme is an paid theme through google play but I attached the uzip for the widget to left.
In other word, that one is free of charge and modifiable!.Just wanted to let that be said before anyone goes rampage cause I put a lot
of work in making this. The 4 months of wait for UCCW to implement high resolution support was terrible (not complaining!) ;_;
The last screenshots shows the beta version I created. As for now, the theme takes up the whole screen as you can see in the other screenshots.
To emphasize, I tested this on my Nexus 7, the widgets should fit perfectly.
If you're a N4 user you might have seen it over there as well. I thought I maintain a thread here as well since after all, I'm a N7 owner!
Installing uzip theme files:
Download UCCW and add a UCCW widget to your homescreen, select "uzip" and browse and select the theme.

Works for me, I'll reupload them to dev host when I get home, just in case.

Looks pretty sweet, may have to give that a try sometime.

Ok, one issue I changed some hotspots, now the widget shows up blank (white). I assume just remove the widget and set it up again? Didn't see a refresh setting in UCCW.

Did it work out in the end? Sometimes uccw shows white widget when refreshing for a split second, but it should get back to normal right after that.

Didn't do it on my vibrant, so just removed and readded it and edited it all at the same time. Had a few moments where it just showed image place holders and no images.

Did you maybe consume all the ram available? Another thing, how does the widget look on the vibrant? It got a display of 480 x 800 after all and the theme was recommended to be used on a 720p screen.

Who knows, vibrant i know is pretty much empty software wise. Screens attached.

You can see the ram consumption in settings, sometimes uccw can take up to 80mb which is one of the reason I recommend this on a phone with at least 720p (those phones usually have decent specs). Thanks for the screenshots, how does it look in real life though? I will assume the text is barely readable?

369mb for memory under the settings.. Running Paranoid Android 2.54 (android 4.1.2). Text ain't too bad, I have it setup in phablet mode anyways to get more space on the home screens.

That should be enough! You might want to send a letter to the UCCW developer as I never had this issue before. And thanks for telling me that the text was readable, I havent personally tried it on that resolution yet.

still cant be downloaded?

Yeah, I have no idea what is taking google so long to review my account. Just sent them another email (an hour ago) asking them if you're even working.

Gotta love Google... I know one of their things, if an app is downloaded from any updates have to be done through them as well. Not to mention anything within the app can't be downloaded from outside sources either. Do I sense, Apple's methods coming to the play store? lol
