My thoughts exactly. Let's hope some form of 'skinning' is possible.

It's very ugly..Zune HD like....

Super ugly !!!

The homescreen is ugly, but the rest of the OS is very elegant and simple. You guys should watch demos on youtube you will be blown away. MS said that there gonna be tight on OEM customization, but I think their still gonna allow some customization for OEM to stand out from the competition. You guys REALLY need to try out the demo site: http://www.windowsphone7series.com/

i think also it is nice and clear - thats what i want - no overfilling with buttons and things from tabs and options on the "homescreen"
it remember me more of that TouchOne skin - where u move up - down - left and right to reach specific screens instead of using a tabsborder. people often forget that we use such phones also in cars and while walking - so we need a sure and failsafe surface with not to small buttons (at least less).
if anybody knows a good and fast! UI for Wm6.5 let me know - new sense is nice looking but still i search for something simplier to use/touch UI

First impressions...
It looks overly simplified, and more like an art project - or a set of 'design placeholders' that mark areas still needed to be finished in detail.
I question a lot of real-life interactivity with the device, it seems a little silly having the text of the hub cropped off screen.
It wouldn't surprise me if the the API's for this are very basic (aka. simple gadgets) - I have a feeling this isn't designed to run apps in the traditional sense.

Hello everyone,
I just test Epic citadel a benchmark powered by Unreal engine and I would like to know your scores
Link to the app
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.epicgames.EpicCitadel
Here's my results F240L (Thermal throttling disabled):
High performance (very fluid)
42fps
Ultra high quality (laggy)
24fps
if you knew some optimizations to get better results I'm interested

58.1 on high performance.
55.7 on high quality.
29.6 on ultra high quality, 100% rendering.
Thermal throttling has not been touched and I have the cpu control turned on for better battery life.

This is mine
High Performance = 59,5
High Quality = 58,2
Ultra High Quality = 32,4

Why everyone tryes to creat gazillion new threads to fragment the forum instead of posting results in one neat thread? So to results will be easily compared between models and brands of smartphonemakers

Because a thread dedicated here is better I think

Well, before I bought F240 I tryed to find results of HTC Butterfly, Nexus4, Galaxy S4, HTC One, Optimus G to compare them with each other. I bothered to count days and week I spent searching that scattered pieces, frustrated and abandoned

With both settings turned off for thermal throttling, I experience no lag at all on ultra high resolution. It looks so good on this 1080p display. Especially on.Max brightness.

Good to hear! you are on a stock rom I guess
I will try to go back to see the difference

Yeah, I'm on stock rom. Now my scores weren't as good as some of the others posted. But with both thermals off, on ultra high resolution, I can navigate explore mode with no lag. With 100% rendered. Really amazing how good everything looks. Definitely a nice app to showcase performance and 1080p display.

Viiwok Deva HMD - Mobile Gaming

Hi,
My name is Dragos and I'm the founder and senior designer of Viiwok, a startup which builds VR adapters and controllers.
More specifically we're currently in the final testing rounds of the first mobile HMD in the world. It's basically a hybrid tablet adapter with integrated, discrete headtracking sensors (as in not using the tablet's gyro/accelerometer sensors).
What it does is letting you slide in any 7" tablet and wirelessly displaying stereographic 3D video feed from the computer. It's basically a mobile Oculus Rift and a future proof product as well, since we're not constrained of resolution and hardware issues - because you can always use the latest and most powerful tablet at your disposal. The headtracking has basically zero latency and the FOV is about 120 degrees, using specially designed aspheric lenses with a 2" diameter for each eye. Besides native 3D support in certain titles (Crytek titles made with Cryengine, DOOM 3 BFG, etc.), we can also use TriDef for realtime side-by-side 3D rendering of currently unsupported games.
While gaming is our main scope, the HMD could be also used for virtual tourism and landscaping, in medicine (disabled or severely handicapped persons) or CAD design. Our next project to be launched is an omnidirectional treadmill which detects your body movements in real time (walking, jumping, crouching), much like a Kinnect, but without the back-facing and latency constraints.
Right now we're using Gamepad THD and Kainy for the video feed, but also Limelight for native Shield streaming ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505510&page=15 ) while also developing our own video streaming solution in house.
REMOVED
Here are a couple of pictures with the 3D printed prototype. Of course, the final design will be much more streamlined and ergonomic.

1. It's completely mobile, no cables dangling around you.
2. It's future proof, whatever tablet you'll buy in the future it's going to be more powerful than the Oculus Rift. Powerful GPU, HD resolution, etc. You don't need to buy a special device in order to play, almost everyone has a tablet these days so you don't need to invest separately.
3. It's interchangeable with other tablets, so you can share it with your friends.
4. Price MOD EDIT: Discussion of pricing would be an advertisement which is not allowed on XDA
5. Because competition is healthy, especially in VR, and especially at this incipient stage. More indie producers, more views on the subject, more interest, more money pouring in. Oculus Rift was a simple ideea, like ours, at first, and look how far they reached.
6. Because you'll make us happy this Christmas :angel:

4K Action Camera Wifi WiMiUS L3 2.45'' LCD Touch Screen review

There is a lot to like about the WiMius L3 16MP 4K Action Cam as it's undoubtedly a worthy competitor to the GoPro at a sharp fraction of the price. It's simply amazing what they were able to do in such a tight package. It does 4k video , 60fps 1080p video, has a webcam mode which would be used on youtube if necessary, comes with a variety of different accessories like the go pro which includes the signature case and many many other cool things as well. I use a program called Bandicam I was surprised to see this camera be used like a webcam it's truly a beautiful sight. Of course, it can be used as an action cam as well if needed. Another cool feature is the touch screen 2.4 inch display. When I saw the Lack of buttons on the product I was concerned at first by then by accident I tapped the screen and to my surprise the screen listened to my command. Of all the action camera's I have had this is by far the best Ui I have ever seen. It's simple and too the point and I love it.

It's not perfect by any means however and I will mention why now. First the fps on 4k mode and frame stability does look like it could need some optimizations it's not the best but by no means. However that does not mean it's a deal breaker. Also, the microphone could use a boost in quality, however, I used this thing as a webcam and just used my own microphone so this was not an issue anyway. Back to some more cool stuff the waterproof elementorse to work well when the case Is so that you let stream to i sink to in my sink and it it is to work fine. This product also has wifi feature that works with android and ios thanks to an app called WiMius Cam Pro. This app allows you to stream what your recording to your phone for Easy sharing and viewing. Also, do not let me us with a spear battery which is amazing. I was able to record all the footage I needed in a day without any issue with power and that's huge !! I gotta be Honest I'm speechless here it truly does it all and I can not believe it.
About the price, the camera is $119.99 at Amazon US. However, with the following code, you can get it for only $77.99.

Dudios Tic Review: Gaming-suitable earbuds

After testing the Dudios Free Mini, I wanted something that looks trendy (Airpods-like design) and would actually be good for gaming. I was able to test the earbuds while gaming and doing sport (Gyms were open).
The following is a detailed review. TL;DR is at the bottom, enjoy reading!

Package:
User manual.
2x Earbuds.
Charging box.
Charging cable (USB).
3x Pairs of tips (small/medium/large).
2x Safety cushions (Box & content).
Features:
Bluetooth 5.0.
Waterproof (IP not stated)
70h standby.
Gaming mode.
Easy touch interface.
More suitable for Gaming/Sport (Comfort and firm).
Provided charging box (380 mAh, can charge up to 4 times).
Experience:
My first impression was that the new design is more appealing to me. The unboxing was similar to the previous earbuds. Nevertheless, the charging films are not there (like the previous ones) and the earbuds provide a better way of charging (deeper ports). Moreover, I found them a lot more comfortable and firm on my ears. I didn't need to push them more. I'd say, that the weight (the tail design) gives this firm support.
For Gaming, I'm not that experienced Mobile Gamer, so I tested it on COD:Mobile & Brawl Stars, the quality & sync were on point and suitable. I didn't notice any lag/delay with the audio. After spending 30m testing it on Games, it was time to hit the gym.
My routine is simple: Running at 5*km/h, then 10*km/h, and finally 15*km/h. It was the ideal way to test the earbuds and how comfortable they are at different running speed. I didn't feel any weight on my ears or anything that would be annoying. Of course, the sweat didn't affect it at all, didn't slip or lost the firm grip. It was a pleasing experience with running. After that, I tested them while doing a few rotation exercises (ABS/Leaning on the side). The result was also great, I didn't have to put them back in place because they stayed firm on my ears.
I'm currently enjoying the audio quality using Spotify. The charging times were around 6, each session was between 4.5 to 5 hours. Furthermore, the new touch design is a lot better in detecting touches, which helped me avoid a lot of accidental touches.
Overall, I'm happy with the earbuds, and they're currently my main ones for Gaming/Sport/Casual events.
Notes:
3 touches on the right part to enable Gaming mode (you would hear a tone indicating the on/off state).
TL;DR:
Modern design.
Firm, comfortable in most cases (extreme sport/running).
Gaming-oriented (No delay/quality is on point).
Better touch experience.
Easy to recharge.
Durable, suitable for long sessions.
Budget price (despite premium features).
I hope you enjoyed reading. I'll see you in my next review!
