of F*CK ITim sick of trying to edit this

I think it makes the Universal worth having - I just got a Hermes yesterday, and despite it being a beautiful device with feck small buttons, QVGA is too old school these days.
VGA will make you blind faster then the Victoria Secret's catalogue, but it looks beautiful. With careful tweaking it can be made usable for day to day work, but for remote desktop or PocketWord etc, it's great.

Hate you so much. Now I want a VGA device even more.
:wink:

Thats vijay555 mate,
He is a top fella but they say he has gills and two sets of knee's and can our run a 911

VGA mode is fantastic - I couldn't be without it.
I have it turned on all the time but find it mainly useful for:
Web Browsing and actually being able to see worth a damn
PocketPutty connections
Terminal Services

You think that's weird, you should see my table-arm attachment:
FYI - I'm working on a new app for the phone, to make it much better then VJBigPhone. One day some time, hopefully this year
But seriously, VGA is great technically and it's a real shame to use QVGA afterwards, but it is painfully small sometimes. But with appropriate UI tweaks, it can work very well.

looking for comments on potential weatherpanel skin

What do you guys think about this design?
I was messing around for a little bit and came up with this for weatherpanel, should I attempt to make it happen ?

I like the potential. Some questions on the options shown but will wait a bit until you have developed your concept some more...

What would you reckon instead ?

I like this look and would love to give this a try. Looking forward to seeing your developments on this skin.
would it be possible to use in as a plugin (Ultimate Launch)?

1) Instead of TMW (which I think means tomorrow's forecast), should be a link to the multi-day forecast that like the WP default
2) A link to detailed daily and extended forecasts e.g."Currently 100% with wind from the SW at 5 mph. 0% chance of precip. Sunset at 6, sunrise at 6.", that type of thing.
If that could be displayed in the window as an option, that would be great.
3) Cam1/Cam2 could be replaced by a link to 'graphics' since WP also does a great job with the regional weather maps in addition to the traffic cameral.
I like the visual. if you could incorporate some of the strengths of WP in the same display concept, I think that would be just great. Challenge will be to minimize the drill down that some themes today have before you get to the meaningful data.
Just my 2 cents....
Thanks

i think you're focusing a little bit too much on the visuals of the image box, personally, i think it is useful for weather images and cams, but not that practical to spend that much space for current weather images (sunny, rainy).
instead, it can be used for current weather details (wind, humidity, percip. percentage, feels like, last updated, etc...).
you can also change the "TMW" to "5D" or something similar
I tried to apply some of my suggestions to one of your screen shots, you can find it attached. i am not best known for my artistic talents as can tell , just general ideas and you can adopt whatever you like or ignore 'em all.

it doesn't seem that you were that serious about looking for comments on your design, it has been about 32 hours since your only comment on the topic... i could've used the 30 minutes i spent replying and making that modified screen on plenty of other things.

Calm down buddy. I've actually started making the theme for WP. I also have a real world job and family to deal with, I'm not some 24 hr XDA lurker. Know that your suggestions were taken on board, however I'm not looking to make the main screen more than the basic info as shown in the initial screenshot. The rest of the precipitation, humidity etc will be on a seperate panel, like in phatphingers.
Would you like a refund on your 30 minutes ?

Welcome to the Revolution

This isn't exactly Dream related, but definitely Android related which is good for all of us, for those who aren't aware, sh!t just got real tonight as Verizon launched its first Droid(aka Sholes) commercial:
http://www.droiddoes.com
Not only is the commercial straight comedy in the best way possible(at the expense of Apple) but they keep it 100% real, no disclaimer required. I say bravo, wish T-Mobile had launched a campaign like this when the G1 rolled out, the commercial will play Sunday during the NFL games so people who missed it can view it in HD. Hey Apple, Welcome to the Revolution!

I was just watching that. Good for Verizon. Good for Android. I'll be sticking with my G1 and TMO but daddy has Verizon and he may be adding another line soon...
ilove it...Apple will "sauce" their pants

that was hilarious, i remember sir*mez saying something about that commercial last night.

Anyone notice that it says "DROID" is a registered trademark of lucasfilm at the bottom? Wonder if they're just allowing them to use the name or if there's more to it.
Would be funny if R2-D2 and C3PO ran android. I suppose R2-D2 would have a Hero rom and C3PO would have a motoblur rom, what with him speaking almost every language.

Lol I thought I was the only one that noticed the Lucasfilm trademark. That seems somewhat strange to me. Anyone else have any thoughts?

nice find.

October 30th, we have something to look forward too

hey haykuro
long time, no see around these parts. good to see you are still around or maybe making a comeback now that the traitior is out in the open

yeah, Droid is a registered trademark of lucasfilm, so it's licensed but unless I'm getting Obi-Wan'd this is definitely the Droid I am looking for. The specs on it are awesome, and allegedly it's as thin as the iphone with it's sliding qwerty, can't wait till HTC matches this and throws it on good ol' T-mob.

looks like the htc dragon will be, or at least the phone they are suspecting to be the dragon. it has a keyboard too, that is what i am gonna go for

lets sure hope so..... but in case it is a bust we have thissss

Just a thought

What is it with some of the owners, and developers of the MT3G? Seems in every active thread that we have people bickering, and nit picking each other. I don't know if this is going on in the other forums, but really is it called for? This phone already has a lack of development. The damn G1 gets more attention fro developers than our phone and that is about a 3 year year old phone.
I appreciate all the developers that work on our phones trying to keep those of us without the funds to buy a new phone busy with new ROMS, Themes, Ports and whatever else.

I agree, and patience is a virtue... which nobody has evidently.
I appreciate everything that the devs and other members do here, I'm not smart enough (Yet) to do my own deving so I'll be happy with whatever anyone puts out with no *****ing or complaning.

What ever happened to respect?
When the G1 dropped I was one of the first couple thousand owners shipped, I was rooted the day I found this site, and flashed a new ROM every freaking day it seemed. There was a fury of activity over there, and even there was a little bit of this going on. But then it was more so noobs not reading and asking questions and bugging the developers. We lost a couple great developers from those beginning days, but also spawned new talent.
We all have a common goal here. To push our phones beyond anything the manufacture thought possible (look at what the G1 is doing) But it seems all we are doing is trying to knock each other down.
I wish I had the time to rehash some of the programming skills I have lost over the last couple of years due to the closing of my computer and the opening of a HVAC company. Sense that is not an option I rely on the developers here.
I would love to see this phone brought back to life.

Just to add to this, if you ever see a post you are not happy with, or is what you believe to be nit-picking, flaming, trolling, abusive, rude etc... Use the report a post button and it will be flagged for me or a senior moderator to deal with.
For those of you who don't know what the report button looks like.

Maybe I will find an easy way to post pictures later, but do NOT take a hammer to your vibrant (because it has survived this long under UNintentional abuse) and hit it with a hammer and expect it to work afterwards. It probably won't. No matter how drunk you are. And regardless of how much you paid cash for your phone. Cash.
I am guessing no-one will warranty what a picture would show. Gorilla glass or not, do NOT hit it with a hammer to show how much more resilient it is vs. dumb phone. It is NOT that resilient. Learn from my mistakes. Seriously.
Now excuse me while I try to sink into the world or porn so the last thoughts in my head(when I should be falling asleep) are NOT how I tried to prove my samsung had more balls than you do.. besides, she is female, it obviously has more balls than she does..
I kinda wonder if this is a subconscious excuse to get a new phone next month when I have money.. but I think I would have waited till next month is closer. No, this is probably an exercise in stupidity, one you need not regret. Not to the point there are dents in your battery. Kicking myself constantly!
Edit: I have a few extra batteries laying around, but what do you want to bet it isn't the dented battery that keeps it from booting or making a sound? I'll bet you 500 bux(what it cost when it was new) it isn't the battery..
Edit2: A picture posted while I am not sober enough to care(I hope, we will see if I sleep..)

Neither is the stuff on the inside.. I know a dozen ways to make it make a sound, or show in adb.. if it worked at all. I have a feeling I am going to be far too sober before the drunken sandman shows up..

MURDERER
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I can't fap to this.

I was fapping my shi* last night.. I was in the middle of d/ling a porn and lightly playing with my jack-o-lantern and I open up this post.
I just went to sleep after and kept my phone close to me like a virgin.
