Has anyone used the newer TouchWiz? -I played around on a Samsung S5230 and it is REALLY good. It's very fast and very user customisable, although a litlle Androidy looking. Not a hint of WinMo to be seen, An SDK is being released. I don't know how it would be for business users though.
-Sorry if it's a bit OT, but the TP2 has the latest version of TF, so I thought this the best place to ask
OK guys Hdubli and i want to know what you would preffer to be cooked for the acer s200.

Me and hdubli might work on this were still deciding what to do and when to start...
Will be great to have rom with m2d but without notification manager (bulls**t) and most standart apps for it. And WM without dumb MS software and with NET CF 3.5 or 3.7.
I vote for "More features less eye candy". We have a real ferrari (F1) here and we are talking about the color of the wheels.
A fast stable version with best internet, multimedia, system apps (can be found free, around XDA) would be great for me. I bought this phone because I do not care about HTC eye candy manilla. Otherwise I would buy a HD2 to have full XDA support and flash different roms every day (like I did in the past with Artemis and Touch Pro).
But that's my opinion.
Guys, maybe u should open separate S200 forum?
Many thanks you guys,
also, a separate s200 forum, its a great idea!!!

That is what i say: i want my F1 stay F1 : no stuff, which take the phone speed...maybe some tweaks, that it runs more fast(and stable).
It need to be fast in the everyday use: internet browsing, multimedia, office, maybe games etc...
The problem on my Touch Pro was the same like frecos: everyday a new rom update and the speed wasn't so good....
And i dont need manila..i have my Mobile Shell( less RAM, more Speed, better looking)
greetz from Germany
So tune up the speed please
I see most ROMs always trying to reduce they size. All well and good but why is it we don't see more on the other end of the spectrum. I don't mean full of crappy bloatware but lots of high rez wallpapers, high quality sounds, large elaborate themes and maybe a beta app they are working on.
That was my thought now the request. Might we see one or two big fat over weight monster ROMs with obscene amounts of useful features and other content. I mean we have 32gb of internal memory lets make use of it.
Please.
More content requires more time. That's why most dev are trying to implement standardized theme packages so work doesn't have to be duplicated.

For every person that wants tons of wallpapers and themes, there are a several who don't want it. So the way to make the most people happy is to not add tons of generally useless stuff.
Why can't you bring your own wallpapers and themes to do your ROM how you want it?

from my galaxy nexus foxhound rom 4.0.3
I am just listing down a few thoughts for prospective Galaxy Nexus buyers, its not a review but my finding on what the Galaxy Nexus does well and what it doesnt!
I am confident that most of you have read every online review of the Galaxy Nexus by now - starting from http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/17/2568348/galaxy-nexus-review
So I will try to make it short and based on my personal experience. Mostly it will be compared to iOS/iPhone 4 as it is the viable competitor in the market and what people most definitely want to know about!
Just to give a brief about myself: I work as a Communications Specialist for a global logistics company (one of the top 3). My first phone was a Nokia 3310 - from there I have used mostly all the milestone mobile phones released imo (Including, SE T610/S700i/W900 - most of the N-series, Complete iPhone lineup, Compete Nexus lineup) I had to mention these just to ensure my credibility
So here goes:
Screen
The Good
Pentile vs. RGB - I am quite picky about this - I hated all Pentile iterations of screens till now - Yes the 720p resolution is sooo packed that you will not notice the pixels - it is as good as Retina. Colors are beautiful, vibrant and bright. So if you thought that you will miss your sharp retina display moving to Galaxy Nexus, its not the case.
The Size: if you are 6 feet and taller - this is a perfect phone for you.
The Bad
1. Grains on darker shades, I do not agree with most here who say grains exists in low brightness. I feel grains are there, its a default fault of the screen, you cannot get out of this, it gives a light textured look in darker color images (grey/blue) no matter the brightness. If you have a white background (as with websites) - grains are not visible if you increase the brightness to midway and above. If you are coming from an iPhone 4/4s, you will be impacted as I was - but I lived with it for the phone offers much better options than the iPhone 4 for me. I would also not categorize the graininess as a major issue on a daily usage, unless you are extremely picky but just knowing is still a pain.
2. Color tone was slightly off at default - to the more warmer tone
I had to root my phone only for fixing this issue - I installed franco's kernel and changed the color tone (using his update tool from market) to a slightly more cooler blue. Thanks Franco!
Speakers/Voice/Call Clarity: This is a "Phone", right?
The Good
Clear sound, beats iPhone in my opinion and is louder for the internal speakers.
The Bad
External speakers are not loud by default. There is an easy software solution though, installing Volume+. Volume+ really made the external speakers loud, even louder than the iPhone's I would say.
OS
The Good
Fantastic. Android is alot smarter now with ICS, it is faster - near blazing. One should realize, installing a thousand widgets and themes does not help the cause - my feedback is based on rooted/stock (w/franco kernel). if you play around and install various Roms here, you most definitely will complain regarding compatibility issues, over all snappiness and performance. I suggest dont do it unless you have nothing better to do all day! App switching between multiple apps is brilliant - swiping away or moving to the next is made so simple. Brilliant work hiring the webOS guys, Google!
Moving from iOS - Do not be fooled by people saying its not smooth as iOS. For me Speed is more important than smoothness and ICS is definitely FASTER than iOS. Its like, closing a window in MAC/Windows, you can either take 2 seconds to close it with a nice animation or in 1 sec, it just closes within blinking of an eye. ICS is sharp and quick. Now it might not do the animations/transitions in a SEXY WAY (so cool APPLE) - and you might feel lags while swiping between home screens (personally I havnt, yet), but you do not have to wait at any given time. I remember switching between apps/phones/contacts in my iPhone requires a slight wait - though smooth transition, in ICS that wait does not exist. You will enjoy the experience. eg. The ICS Music app is smoother at viewing album covers than the laggy coverflow implementation in iOS.
The Bad
The only small gripe I have is with the Phone app! It has improved significantly from gingerbread with the whole swiping from the Dialer to Recent Calls and Contacts/Frequent Calls. "Favorites" are setup in such a way that they take up a large portion of the screen realestate (for what good reasons ?:S) and all the contacts follow after them.
Browser
The Best
The best browsing experience on a mobile device I had in this generation of devices. The screen size is a major player, previously on my iPhones, I would just browse if I was in a desperate situation such as finding a review, text being so tiny - but with the Galaxy Nexus, you feel like browsing the net when you have time in hand.
The Browser itself is much better than Mobile Safari in every way (performance/tab switching). You will love the experience moving from iOS!
Apps
I was never a heavy user of apps, so I will not compare iOS and Android eco-systems as such. There is no doubt iOS has more sexier looking apps/more polished but android is catching up. If you are coming from iOS and a heavy app user - this might not be the most convenient move for you, my personal suggestion would be for you to wait till iPhone 5 is released please. No TheGood/TheBad here!
Battery
The Bad
Unfortunately, there is no TheGood section here, obviously the battery google/samsung have placed in here is not adequate for a device with such a large screen. You can at max survive a day (using facebook/browsing/gmail/twitter). I am not sure how long it will survive with locations/geo tracking on though. 1 day is good enough for me, so not sure about you. I keep my screen brightness to 65% bright. The battery life on the iPhone 4 is relatively the same.
Camera
The Good
It takes really quick shots.
The Bad
The image quality is not upto par with the iPhone 4, let alone 4s!
File Transfer/Mount Storage Device
The Good
You can delete/update/change files on the go while connected through usb so that you do not need to unplug and remount the storage in order to view the files on your phone.
The Bad
If you want to view/transfer files from your Phone to a Mac, such as the case with myself, I needed to install an Android File Transfer app to edit/transfer files to the phone. This is painful if you want to plug the phone into another Mac (you will have to install that app again on the machine). For PC, I believe no such app needs to be installed though.
An alternative to this is using the AirDroid app which allows you to access your files/folders/contacts and much more through wifi. A great free app indeed, thanks Alkidweller for pointing it out!
Overall Verdict
The Galaxy Nexus is a great device, it has some issues most definitely (grainy screen/mediocre battery and camera). But the ICS shines, the large screen realestate, fantastic UX coupled with an amazing browsing experience is worth the upgrade from an iPhone and with a price of $399 it gives the most bang for the buck, compare that with the $650 for iPhone 4s.
- Two modifications I used were - Franco Kernel & Franco Updater App, Volume+
- For Mac Users: Android File Transfer App/ AirDroid
Here is a snapshot of my setup - ICS stock just works!

Great review and I have to say I agree with most. However, I just have to correct one thing. Yes, it would be easy to include a 'smart dialer' but as you know Android aims to be completely open source. This means that everyone should be able to build his or her own system. But smart dialing isn't open source! It's patented and can't be freely distributed. So Google have good reasons for not including that feature...
Great review, its like the rest of them.

I must have got a really loud speaker set or something mine are loud. However I have to agree browsing the net on ics is awesome I love the feature where if it has multi pages n u click down by the numbers it will magnify it for you to click on easier without having to zoom in.

Re: File Transfer
Don't know anything about a Mac, but as for the file transfer thing, have you tried AirDroid in the Play Store? Should work. There's nothing on the computer to install.
It uses WiFi to talk to your router. On your computer you open a browser and go to the (local) ip that AirDroid displays, enter a pass code and it displays a nice looking interface to your phone. Transfer files, play music, send and receive texts, install and uninstall apps.

I use a similar app for file transfers on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit called Wifi Explorer Pro(there is also a free version, but if I use an app a lot I always but the pro to support development), because setting up MTP in Linux is a bit of a pain. Hopefully future versions of Linux will support MTP out of the box, but for now this is the way to go. I thought Ubuntu 12.04 was supposed to support it, but I have not successfully been able to use it.
Thanks OP for the review. It's nice to see someone post an honest and candid review based on their experiences and feelings while using the device, rather than just mindlessly comparing specs. I must say that I agree whole-heartedly on most of your points.
Overall, this is a fabulous device. It has a few shortcomings, but they are easily overshadowed by what it does well. And I've also used my mobile browser (Chrome) far more on this device than I ever did on my Nexus One. The crisp display (and large size) makes it actually useful for browsing the web.
Rather than AirDroid I like the samba file share app.
Windows, mac, and in most cases linux, have support for it built in.
You effectively have direct access to the file system, which includes being able to e.g. edit files without having to download them and re-upload.
"The Bad

I think franco's kernel that you are already using has built-in volume booster.
also mind sharing your custom color values ?
Great review, I have to agree with pretty much all of it. Though on the battery issue I'd recommend getting the extended battery (GSM can't comment on the LTE version)
One thing you didn't mention were the onscreen softkeys, I was wondering what you think of them? I've had the phone since Dec and I don't want to ever go back to a phone without them now

the franco's kernel volume boost was not good enough unfortunately, so I had to move to volume+, I suggest you give it a go if you are not quite happy with franco's built in one.
Here is my values for "colors multipliers" (I intentionally avoided the RGB Gamma Tweaks)
Red: 195
Green: 211
Blue: 278
I have not played with it much - I am sure if I put more time into it I could get a better combination. Let me know how that works out for you.

I still can't get over people saying the speakers are quite mine is loud. and ill have to test those settings for color. Also have you had a chance to play with the ip4s seems like your review was all based on ip4 just wondered if you like this over ip4s as well.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I HIGHLY recommend WiFi File Explorer.
Start the app, then browse to the IP address. Of course you have to have WiFi. Or WiFi Tether...
This is a great way to get files to and from the device without screwing with cables. It is also a great way to get a file from one Android device to another without having a PC to play middle man. This is also great for roms that don't have a file explorer cooked in by default.
Also with the Battery issue, I would also give the Nexus a +1 for it being removable and able to use an extended battery. I have an extended battery on my Verizon Nexus (2100mAh) and the thickness isn't noticeable (+1mm) but it extends it a few more hours.
As far as the Gray Banding... I'm at a loss. I DO know that the Nexus One had this issue too and it wasn't the screen problem but rather Google slimming down on the colors as a speed boost. I mean who needs millions of colors just to change a setting? There used to be a test like the browser would band... but the gallery wouldn't. After enough ruckus they upped the color count and it fixed.
I also think the reason for the banding is low quality images. I believe there is a hack around here that replaces the banding background with high quality images and it goes away. Who knows. It could just be the screen color limitation (16-bit vs 32-bit)

Yes, I had a 4s for a short while (less than 1 week) before I switched so I am basing most of my experience from iphone 4 which I have used over the last 10 months.
Hey guys..
For the first time i am having the opinion that finally a phone has landed in the beloved 4.3" segment which i (among many other fellow thinkers) believe can become my next purchase.
However, i have few questions which i would like others to comment upon:
1) I have always like the UI of Samsung. Currently using a Samsung phone with apex launcher and it is something i am very comfortable with.
Question is: How much close to that UI can i pull a Sony Xperia phone?
2) Can the night photography get better via future OTA updates?
Something like a patch/f.w revision?
3) I like to install good quality case on my phones. Havent seen anything for the z1 till now.
Any news on this dept? I hope the device gets good support from manufacturers like Spigen etc..
4) A bit OT, but somebody pls tell/direct me to ascertain the difference between Android Development Vs Original Android Development ?
Hi,
I don't have Sammy device but I can still answer few of your questions.
1- Sony UI is very nice indeed when I first used it but I use Apex the most as I like to personalised homescreen, icon and drawer.
2-probably YES and there already have new firmware update been approved by Sony for the Z1C. It could be anytime soon and awaiting to see what improvement it does.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/02/21/firmware-build-14-2-a-1-142-hits-the-xperia-z1-compact/
3-Already have quite lots of cases around. You could check CASE and SCREEN
4-No idea.

Example here:
If you take source of CyanogenMod, adjust it and build a ROM specifically for Xperia Z1 Compact, it's "Android Development".
But if you create a completely new ROM (or develop a new feature), it's "Original Android Development".

If you use a 3rd party launcher, some of the Xperia widget would not be available? This include weather, walkman, photo gallery, notepad, quick toggle widget etc. But, you can always use 3rd party app.

2) From my understanding, using manual mode with proper ISO settings and no flash takes brilliant night photos. I mean, that is generally how you take good night photos with a good camera anyways. While I understand why there is the flash bleed, the flash on a tiny smartphone, let alone a compact point and shoot isn't going to do any good anyways. Unless you have separate lighting, flash ruins anything but a tight portrait shot, and even then, this can mostly be fixed by the simple DIY thread on fixing the bleed.
Short of the Nokia 920 I had, I haven't had a phone that takes particularly good night shots ever. Yeah, some take so-so shots, but nothing has been spectacular, because no other phones have a 3-way OIS (optical image stabilization). 2-way OIS seems somewhat useless.

If you use Apex Launcher, or any 3rd-party launcher, your experience will be VERY similar to that of a Samsung phone with the same launcher.

Z1C is still considered a fairly new device, and where i live people arewaiting in line to get their phone, so as case and accesorymanufacturers see that the device is selling heaps, they will start shipping compatible accessories. I got a dirt cheap wallet-leather folding case-thingy, that i might swap out since I'd like to use the magnetic dock at some point in time.
Bottom line: I have no regrets moving from my S3, and the screensize is perfect. With my S3 i even missed my S1 on some occations because of the one-hand-operating-friendlyness of the latter.
Hope this helps
this is the best device for me. Best battery, design, powerful device

I am using the Case Mate Tough Case which I consider er "good quality case". Unifortunately Case Mate have designed it without access to the Magnetic Charging Port, but as shown in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631321&page=4 you can mod the case to take care of this. All in all I am really happy about both my phone and my case although It obviously would have been preferable if Case Mate had made the cutout for the magnetic charging port themselves.
Did it happen to you ?
My phone (Z1C, rooted, locked BL, UK software loaded as described in XDA roooting procedure)
sometimes forgets settings or set them to random values.
Example:
1. Alarm clock returns sound to default.
2. I noticed that I have 3 extra alarms set, completely at random hours.
Questions:
- Did it happen to you ?
- Any idea what could cause it ?
Never happened to me though I don't use the stock alarm, I use Timely Alarm Clock ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.bitspin.timely )
