I just came across a video preview of HTC Ville, one of the most awaited smartphone we all are waiting for. It features Android 4.0.3 ICS along with HTC Sense 4.0
I think, that day is not far when we get a DHD port of HTC Ville ..
Cheers and read more over here -- >

Mind you, the build number is 0.53 (LOL), so it's not even a proper beta, and it still looks great. Once it's out for sure it will be amazing.
So after seeing demonstrations of Sense 4.0 at MWC, there wasn't much that I was jealous of when compared to stock ICS. However, I was impressed by the implementation of multitasking that HTC has put into the new version of sense.
I haven't seen a thread about this, so I wanted to ask...What are the chances of any brave devs out there working on porting over the sense 4.0 task-switcher to our beloved Galaxy Nexus?
Personally I would rather see a wp7 multitasking, I dislike the tilt on sense 4.0 screens
That's actually a good point. I'd take either. Right now I'm settling for an AOKP customization where the task switcher is horizontal, but the app previews remain the same size.

If you would be pleased by just getting the app previews smaller, that's just a simple xml edit in SystemUI.apk
EDIT: Here's a link on how to do it.

They look pixelated because this is how it can show them quickly and not waste too much memory on it. Otherwise imagine 30 opened apps with high quality previews
Also, at our pcs they look more pixelated than in our phones.

It's not so much the size change that I'm looking for, it's that slick, smooth look and feel that WP7 and Sense 4.0 have for multitasking. Image preview quality doesn't concern me too much as I hopefully won't be looking at the images for long if I'm just quickly switching tasks.

but i wrote guide for this mod : [HOWTO] Change ICS App Switcher to Windows Phone 7 Style
WP7 style is WebOS style and has been implemented in AOKP/CM9 Rome for a while. Swipe up/down to close. You can view more screens the traditional ICS way but no different except we have a transparent black vs solid blue, but that could be changed with a replacement image.
Nothing new here, fyi
The 3D effect of sense would be a welcome addition though but functionality wise we already have this, just not as pretty

As many of you may have noticed, google android gave excellent news for L (4.5 or 5.0) has a new interface, new keyboard, ART runtime, Project Volta and endless deployments to the system, from my point of view, this will be, so far, the update with more changes to date, and I see a great future in android.
Q - What is your opinion about this update?
Q - Our Optimus G will be able to get this update? (Obviously not by LG)
I make this post since no one around here seems excited as I am
Write your review below :highfive:
Sorry my bad english, I'm using the google translator
i think its a really good update, the change from android 2.3 to 4.0 was good but android 4.0 was sad too much black, too serious. this version reminds me of samsung : childlish colors, big things... i would like a more serious os but whatev... im really excited about that update i think its gonna be good, I want it!

that's true, black is not it look bad, but bored after a while, for me, the new look is "solid", and most of all simple, I'm excited, because maybe, improving performance and the battery life due to ART, is significantly better than kitkat
There is also a reason y black has been chosen..to reduce t battry consumption...also it wrks well in case of amoled screens...
I like the L look but I also like the new LG interface from the G3. Remember you will get most of the L features as updated Google apps roll out. Once the Nexus 4 has this update it will be pretty straightforward to get it on the Optimus G. But I think the best solution for this phone will be: official KK, root and theme to get G3 features, and use the redesigned Google apps as they come out.
I'm expecting CM12 late this year. The new UI looks great.
Surprised to see so many excited for ART.

Absolutely agree with this. I'd say not necessarily the official KK, but stock-based, like Sling or VDT. Personally, I don't like the L look, from what I've seen. Some components are just plain ugly, for example, the keyboard. To each their own, I guess...
As for ART, the dealbreaker for me is Xposed. When it starts supporting ART, it will make sense to upgrade. Until then, no.

Well, for LCD screens, the difference is very marginal, if not negligible, since the backlight is the main power sucker. Only AMOLED will give you a measureable power saving when using black.
I hope Android L, as I read in the forum the nexus 5, the battery life has drastically improved, 2h SOT (Screen on Time) to 4 + to some users says 7 hours of screen time
and overall performance is more buttery and solid
I'm excited, hopefully developers porting nexus 4 to achieve, then our talented developers can port it to Optimus G
Excuse my bad English, I'm using google translator
I love the professional UI. I'd love to have a stock Android L experience if it ever comes to O.G
In my opinion the core experience and visual changes are improvements and to the regular Joe they might seem ok but I'm concerned about the hability we will have to modify this new version. Seems to me Google is locking it Down some to make it more "secure" and now it will be using Knox tech on that front. If we start getting qFuses ala Samsung we are going to have a hard time modding out devices it's not going to be impossible but very hard. Look at the Verizon and AT&T latest Samsung Models, they just now got rooted and beyond rooting custom roms might be possible but kernels and recoverys will be very very hard with the locked Boot loaders. And Google now wants to be like Apple and lock it all down. That part I don't like.

No, they may want to lock the source. Tho, you can run any modification you want, if you know how to do it. In 1.5 it was a hell harder than it is today. So seeing people complaining about being hard to put a mod because you have to move stuff through folders, give permissions, and use a terminal, make me incredible nervous.
Still, I highly doubt they will lock the source. Android growns due the freedom of its open source. So no, it will stay opened, what the OEMs does is problem of the dumb people who gets their devices because they want a trademark logo instead of a good device.
Android L is like a revolution upgrade, not by looks, by the API's they put in it & ART will be default.
As a android developer I'm really surprise how much easier some API's have become, and ART is a big deal in developing for android.
Can't wait to start using those API's.
Q: Will LG release Android L for our E975?
If so I'm stick with this phone, love the Optimus UI, its really easy to use.
else have to buy a Nexus or G2 or G3.

Well, i think our Optimus G officialy die with KitKat 4.4.2, i don't believe that LG will update our device to Android L, or almost near in the future.
RIP Optimus G with Official updates, now its only on the hands of the developers!

Are you talking about the L? Then no, you are not the only one... I find some new functionality quite impressive, but the UI is just ugly (to my taste). Also, can't understand what the big deal is about the new animations, shadows, etc. (basically, the whole Material Design thing)...

Happy to get the regular ART, but Android L is just to a version to sent older smartie's into retirement. Will see how CM's work is done with L. Don't think L is featured that well. Just to make it compatible to Wear and TV and so on ? Do I have to buey a new TV now ? For what ? Don't see serious graphical improvements. But everyone has his own opinion.
For me it is just creating a hug bubble with nothing serious in it.

It has a lot of new features. Some even from PA. Paranoid Android devs themselves loved L because is finally getting where they wanted it to be. Also, I loved the UI, looks better, tho as I'm a oem firmware lover since my Xperia s, it may have helped a lot. Never liked stock aosp Ui anyway.
I don't like the new UI either. It's more like a custom launcher than a standard one for daily use.
IMO I think the new Material Design looks pretty cool. Features like lock screen notifications are also long overdue
I've been following the porting of Android L in the nexus 4 and almost ready, but missing some details, I wonder if there will be some developer who carries the Optimus G, after completion of porting this

Hey, I am waiting for one ui 3.0 for so long. Is there anyone who can port it for S7.
Your work would be appreciated and I will promote the Rom too on my YouTube channel.
Short answer, no.
Long answer, absolutely not.
The best option for you is to wait for someone to create a one ui 3 rom. Impatient? Do It Yourself.
Unless you get a newer device that supports one ui 3.

S7 needs stable ROM with every feature working, who cares if a OneUI 99 port exist, if it crashes, and/or is missing features ?
To this day, I'm still using ALEXNDR (port of the official ROM on OneUI 1.0/Android 8.0) because it's the only bug-free and feature-complete ROM, every other ROMs have issues and is missing features.

Do you fingerprint scanner works in third-party applications like PayPal ? Nope.

Dude nobody cares for your PayPal and fingerprint. If it doesn't work out for you, someone prefer the rom to be working on s7. If One ui1000 is gonna come, s7 is gonna run well on it and even you will be the first person to download it. Talking boy,so keep yourself steady and watch it how things go.

It is known that Android OS is based on a modified version of the Linux Kernel to support mobile phones and tablets and other Android-capable devices, and it is also well-known that when OEMs release a new device, they begin their first state of dropping software support for their previous device.
Custom ROMs are Android ROMs made be either a solo developer, or core developers (and maybe even by you) out of passion, and thus completely free, they can extend it with as many features as the device can handle, in addition to the latest OS and security patches.
Sometimes, a developer might face a hard time trying to fix a bug, it might take months to fix, he might even decide to live with it, why? because he's doing this out of passion! Here on XDA, ROMs are posted along with it's sources, if you think the developer is a low-level programmer, you're free to show us your abilities.
Custom ROMs were not meant to be ultra-stable out-of-the-box, they were meant to witness it's own development.
I want one ui 3 too because of it's ui design
Look be happy with floyd Q no one is going to be spending time trying to port and then fix a one ui 3.0 base for the S7 devs like ananjaser are not going to try to fix one ui 3.0 alot of work would be needed anyway

Hey nice one! It would be good a comparison as I saw already an article where it seems unfortunately the Leica color science didn't improved so much the device.
I have to update my post as I worked on DPreview more for the camera ones https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65295855
Overall anyway the quality is very poor.
Got my r6 today. No idea why but it seems to overheat 5-10 minutes after camera use. Not even video shooting - just taking photos (which are,to my regret, really bad compared to note 20 ultra). You ever witnessed this issue? Also,did you manage to find where to turn down refresh rate or is it locked at 240?
This phone is very interesting! May I ask about whether the phone is SIM-locked, whether it is easy to unlock, and whether there could be some issues using it in Europe?

Hey, do you notice flickering on the screen especially on lower brightness? Also do you notice blue tint also on low brightness?
dears，is there any way to root this phone ？
So I have an Aquos R6 - the color science seems off - bluish tinge that can easily be corrected with even google photos. Also the speakers for ringtones and notifications seem really bad but watching apps like HBO Max seem much better. But no settings I can find.
