very true and a very good job man the reason iphone is so popular because its advertised as the best phone and with the functions than none of other phones have, which is obviously a lie, but a person whos not into mobile phones will obviously go for a phone thats popular etc......
HTC should buy it out from you and make it an advert in TV

Wow that is amazing very convincing!
Also nice to see you not cutting away anything in between like on the apple adds, where they somehow manage to skip any loading screen on apps

Dude, I shared your video on my Facebook! I loved every second of it!

Excellent! Can't wait to show this to my ("i'll buy anything shinny from apple ") friend,just to piss him off ))

This is a top job man, says it all pretty much

I'm just jealous how responsive your swype is! Mine never decides to write what I want it to anymore .. Apart from this message actually, flawless!

Well done on the video... At least now im not in need to tell everyone how awesome Android and the Desire are... Ill just link the vid and im done

You sir have found a new fan !! this is brilliant - I lol'd at the Apple ads and wished there was a response - and here it is ... haha loving every bit of it .. Would ;love to see the face of my Apple Fanboy friends!

The iPhone just got OWNDED ..... AGAIN lol

great video, they should use it on the HTC website as well as shopping sites.
If it wasn't for the overheating of 3 motherboards, I can't really fault the Desire. Very responsive and a joy to use. I will miss it. My replacement Galaxy S just isn't as quick.

What the...where's the Sense UI? You took all those gorgeous widgets...it could've been a great Ad.

lvnatic he's just using a custom launcher. whether the sense widgets are great is a question of taste i believe. Personally i like them but the alternatives on the market is just as good, and i really like the speed on aosp roms So i don't plan on going back to sense based roms anytime soon.

my One X review

Hello all, I know traditionally i only review samsung devices as a samsung mobiler i've decided to branch out a bit and share the love. So here's my review on the One x. Let me know what you think, i'm always taking your comments on board and trying to make my content better.
Out of interest it was filmed on a canon Eos 1100D rather than my galaxy s2 for a change. Hopefully you can tell the difference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8JwiCQlxhg&feature=youtu.be
and a video of the two flavours of ICS on the galaxy nexus and the one X
http://youtu.be/V4Gidj5dEic
I also took some photos from different angles of the one x...find them at my blog here:
http://staceysamsungmobiler.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/htc-one-x.html
Here's a quick comparison of the screen on the Galaxy Nexus vs HTC one x. Which do you prefer?

Nice review Stacey!
I thought Mobilers always had access to the Samsung devices prior to general public. I clearly remember Dom and you had the SGS2 long (weeks/days) before the general public. Both of you guys had a popular thread before release of the SGS2 during last April/May.
Hey, PM me a photo of the SGS3 and the specs list...Trust me, I won't tell anyone!

Good reviews there and i love your english. Hope i will talk like that someday.
One thing to the Multitask. The thing you reviewed on the One X as Taskmanager ist the taskmanager. Its just a graphic gimmik to show main threads and easily jump from one to another. Search on the device applist for Taskmanager and then you see your real tasks and up to 9 tasks at once.
I realy love my One X but i think all Sense gimmiks are just made to look good. Usability is just on 2nd rank. For much Sense widgets i use alternatives.

nice review
thank you

Ahhyes ! I found it. Please I'll add a note to the description of the video. Thanks for pointing it out

A good video, just one word of advice:
When you want to show something on the screen, dont move the phone closer to the camera, it makes the image blurry.
Best is to just keep it the way it is, so that the image stays sharp and then once you're editing the video zoom in digitally!
That'll make the screen more readable

Thanka for the feed back, seriously guys this all helps me for when I make my next . My next purchase is a proper tripod for my camera lol

also added a quick comparison of super amoled vs super ips LCD2...see 1st post for url

[Q] New to android coming from IOS

I'm new to Android coming from the iPhone 4s and iOS, what do you guys recommend that I download In the way of apps and maybe even Roms?

Welcome to the Android world. In order for members to suggest what to get is you have to give more info on what phone you want or using at the moment.
There are thousands of apps in the android market and lots of ROMs to choose from.

i liked using Engadget, Pulse, IMDB, XDA, Taptu, and a bunch of other stuff most people wouldn't be interested in. i don't have my phone right now so i can't see my Play download history. nobody can tell you what ROM to use. you just have to read and pick one. i mostly just like to look at the pictures. ;p

I have just preordered the htc one x for AT&T and I was wondering what are the best and maybe some of your favorite apps.

Cool. I like MyBackup Pro and Root Explorer from the market. They are not free but I think they are worth it.
For ROMs I think you have to venture to the One XL forum to find out what they are cooking there.

Ok thanks, do you know of any apps that are specific to android that are not on ios? And I'll check out that other thread too.

And I definitely definitely definitely recommend swiftkey, the best keyboard out there (some prefer swype). In fact if you're not happy with the HTC keyboard just have a look around, you can even get the stock android keyboards.
Tegra zone shows you the latest games designed specifically for Tegra phones.
Chrome browser (however it lacks the text reformatting that htc provides on the stock browser)
Enjoy

The most important one I believe is if you ever root your device make sure you read the instructions and it should work out fine. ANd always backup your stuff.
Hmmm.. about android it's pretty basic though. Maybe watch some youtube clips to see how it goes.

Are there any real advantages to rooting an android device? It's kinda like jail breaking an iPhone right, is it mainly for themes, or is there more to it? I hate sounding like an idiot.

Think of it as jailbreak x2. Firstly you need it for Roms. (themes can be changed without rooting actually).
It also let's you modify your phones behaviour and performance to suit (for example, overclocking)
Hope that helps, I know other members can explain it better than me though

About to upgrade from Desire to One X...

Seeing all the negative posts, am I making the right move? Is the Galaxy S3 really going to be that much better?
Would anyone recommend rooting the One X and using Cyanogen from the start?

I don't think that it will be much better than the One X.I've read enough forums and i saw that the SII had his share of problems when it was launched,so,i don't think that the SIII won't have any problems.

This phone does not have any issues, that stop it from working. I made the same move from desire to one x (my desire was on the verge of self destruct) and love it. I dont think the SIII will be necessarily any better, I have also found htc devices have a great bunch of devs working on them. Therefore those guys can fix most of any software issues

Yeah,most of them are software issues which can be fixed,if not by HTC by the awsome dev's that are here on XDA.

Well, I'm glad I made the switch to the HTC One X. It rules!

[Q] General Thoughts on the One M8.. Considering returning to Dev

Hi All
some of you know me some of you don't, looking for some general feedback and feelings around the One M8 as a device overall from its xda user group.
The plan, providing I manage to get my hands on one, is to get back into Development and resurrect LeeDrOiD Roms.
It's been a while!
Cheers

It's a great device, certainly a worthy successor to the m7, if you've had any time with that.
screen is gorgeous (if not for lacking a little bit of space due to the on screen buttons)
the camera effects are a treat and fun to play with. For the most part they work pretty well. 4 megapixels is a shortcoming though, regardless of the ultra pixel size
gestures work (they are take it or leave it though, if you use them you love them, if you don't you can do without them)
BoomSound kicks and is an improvement over thevbeats audio sound profile
OS is extremely quick no lag whatsoever even on bloated stock roms
touch screen is extremely sensitive (maybe a touch too sensitive)
ample built in storage + sdcard = [emoji106]
BlinkFeed much improved over initial versions
There's definitely more I could say but I'm sure it's all stuff you've read in reviews, so I will just give my personal opinion: It's friggin awesome!
As with the m7, the m8 has a very robust development and theme community (in the international m8 forum), however, there's always room for LeeDroid!

Excellent. Definitely should consider coming back and doing a ROM for this phone. It's a great successor to the M7.

I use to only but HTC devices. Starting with the Nexus One to the HTC Hero and all the way up to the Evo 3D . I then felt like they weren't what they used to be and felt they were dropping the ball. So I decided to switch to Samsung. I've owned the Galaxy S2, 3, 4, the Galaxy Note 1, 2 and 3. I then started to get a little disappointed in Samsung and had to make a choice of sticking with them and going with the S5 or giving HTC another chance and getting the One M8. Well I decided to go with the One M8 and boy am I glad I did. As with every device there are going to be a few things you wish they would of done differently but in all honesty, this is hands down the best Android device I've ever owned and I've owned a lot so that's saying something. I'm telling you now if your on the fence just jump and jump fast lol. I promise you, you will not regret it. HTC hit it out of the park with this one imo.

Man, can't wait to see you back...
Why you just don't consider developing for M7 and M8, the rom is almost the same... But both phones are awesome! I have a M7

Just to chime in here, I absolutely love the M8. It's my favorite phone since the HD2.
You should definitely grab one, even if you don't wanna dev on it, just to have.
But of course, on the other hand, the more devs we have for it the better.

Hey leedroid! I remember your developing from when I had my old phones. I used to help out sundawg with his ROMs testing and thread maintenance. I am picking my M8 the first week of July when have my JUMP available. The wife just got the phone and I'm jealous. Its an amazing and beautiful phone. We would be honored to have you back deving and this device would be perfect!
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk

Yeah old thread, but I decided to search google for leedroid to see what was going on. I was right thinking you weren't dev on xda anymore, but to see that you're maybe coming back! Your rom were awesome. Since I quit your rom for a new phone, I'm on viper and has been with them for my last phones. But if your to come back, to M8.. dam... I'll surely try your rom for old time sake!

Leedroid makes incredible roms...... would love to have something from him on this awesome piece of hardware!

Hi, The Legendary Leedroid.
I have been using your Leedroid ROM for Desire since 2011.
In fact I'm still using it until now.
It's good to hear that you are planning to come back.
Can't wait for the next Leedroid..
Regards,
Szenpai
