The only thing that annoys me about this phone so far is that the screen lock kicks in after about 30 seconds. I'm fine with the screen SHUTTING OFF after 30 seconds (which i set it to) but u cant change when the screen locks, IE windows mobile... hope someone patches this soon...
Custom Screen Lock
I was hoping we will be able to change various settings of the lock screen. Like just changing the background. Maybe even add widgets to the lock screen. I think that would be pretty cool. Plain black background is boring compared to the rest of the phone.
why is this even an issue? seriously all u have to do is press menu twice and ur in. its not like winmo that had u doing tricks to unlock. /end rant

I see no issue with the way it locks or how it works. Just how it looks. All I see is a boring black background (iPhone?) shouting out my carriers name (as if I don't know my carrier), and current time. BORING

Only a little, but it'll all be worth it if I can have a gif of a big booty chick clapping her ass as my lock screen lol
Know what I absolutely love about this phone and what I can say to any and everyone who complains or requests something...? MAKE IT YOURSELF!! It's all open source baby! If you want it soooo bad, figure out how to program it and make it.

Thats my vote... treat it like it's Linux (oh wait it is.... kinda) and make it do what you want it to. Then share it with the rest of us so we can all benefit/improve what you do.
You could make the screen lock come in after 10 minutes of no use if u want,just go to settings and change it, and I kinda like the screen lock pattern for now but I know i'll get tired of it soon

Wrote it myself
oh man, that's awesome!
could you do me a favor and remove the screen-strobe (so the flashlight only strobes) and upload?
Nice
i thought of another good use for it. When driving down a road and coming up to a speed camera if the car in front is sort of annoying you, you could flash it just to worry em and see if they respond.
The only thing u would need is a bigger button in the GUI and maybe pressed once to start and once to stop.
Sorry just my mind wandering again
Wicked app !
As mentioned, would be absolutely GRRREEEEEAAAATTTT if the screen strobe could be disabled, that way we can blind others without at the same time blinding ourselves lol !
I could disable the screen-strobe, but then the light-flashes would be less-bright.
Somehow if I tell the universal to use ultra-bright flash, it automatically turns off the LCD-backlight, presumably to reserve power to the flash.
When writing it I didn't really have any use in mind apart from annoying friends, but I'll look into the suggestions you guys posted and see if I can come up with anything better
haha minted mate
Could this be made to run when theres an incoming call?
I cant think why you'd ever want to, but there is a chance
JAmes
ps. there a big redish area in the middle of everything i look at now......
I have made a new boot animation for NRGZ28, it's still in its early stages, and can only hope I have time for more. I'm a huge fan with what he has done to my phone, and he has compelled me to give back to the community.
My goal here was simple. Sometimes I forget(as im sure some of you do to) what it was like owning a stock Rhodium, and i cant even remember what the GUI even looked like. NRGZ28's ROMS, although amazing, does not change dramatically enough for me to be mesmerized everytime i pick my phone up as it used to. Although I'm sure this wont entirely do it either, it will at least remind you of what you hold in your hand! Or something like that anyways, i was never really good at public speeches
This should work for any of his ROMS
P.S.~~if anyone could post some feedback on how far the animation goes on your devices that would be great! that means the leo, rhodium, Raphael... and any other devices that have a screen of that size, on both energyrom and stock roms.. or any roms for those devices. and if you know a way to change the length given for the animations let me know pronto!! I recieved a new warranty phone and the animation isnt playing the same length anymore. not sure if this is due to newer updated roms or the fact that the energyroms tp2 splash screen isnt on there anymore, just shows the ATT splash screen. thanks
Follow me on
Buy me a beer!
Updated July 8th!
Cabbed/Shortened/Resized---No more BS work for you!!
Additional Notes:
1) At least on my Rhodium, the last second or 2 wont play. (the fade out) It will simply hang on the image for a few seconds. (which works just as good) The orginal was 14 seconds long and i had to speed it up as i am unaware of a way to customize the time wm gives for the boot animation. So if anyone knows of a registry setting or a program that will do this. let me know ASAP!
2) I will also work on getting a sound file for it as well if this becomes popular enough.
Install
1) Download .cab
2) Installs it directly to windows
3) It will ask you to restart
Uninstall
1) Go to settings->system->remove programs
2) Will automatically put back the default animation
Please be patient as doing 3d animations takes a long time, as well as tweaking issues just to have more arise. And don't even get me started on getting a decent gif animator, and then trying to get it to do what its designed to do

That looks really cool from the screenshots, the bouncing and then the electric explosion looking thing... haha. Cool work.
Any chance of having it just say HTC there instead of NRG? I think you would get quite a few more downloads/donations.
Also, a short video or gif would be cool so we can see what we're getting!
Idea for Startup Animation
Hi There,
I am a huge fan of energy Roms as well!
I thought the following would be cool!
X-mens wolverine blades comming through a screen shot making the famous-x and the at the bottom Energy ROM...
Wish I knew how to but maybe you can do this for us??

Hmm.. that sounds like a fantastic idea! so the problem is.. start up a new thread for more generic animations, or just change the name and make categories in this one?
Will most likely be uploading a youtube video of it today.

Yes, this was my first concept design.. but depending on where the X goes, it might require that i make hands and wrist at least(which is a little bit of work ) unless it slashes with the blades coming through the background..i forget.
i don't know the legality of putting the original wolverine slash in there, (and wheres the fun in that? ) but i will see what i can do
If anyone knows of some good x slash video's, post them up! as i seem to be having a ridiculously hard time finding any. people need to make tags better! you would think there would be hundreds popping up! but no, with the game out all i find is gameplays for origins-wolverine
i like it alot
i think its awsome. wish i had skill like that !

I went for 2 years. I got 2 weeks off for winter break, and 1 week off for summer break. if you want your summer off you can have them add another 3 months for each summer. thats just for the associates degree. its another year for the bachelor degree and that gets you ready for making video games.

Don't know what you're complaining about, for the past 2 days my lock screen has mysteriously vanished. Which means I can't put the phone in my pocket. Annoying, really.
I would do a factory reset but then I've got to do one for the 2.1 update anyway so I'm just going to wait it out
Lol..my lock screen turn out the reverse way,to the left now??

I'll say that the lock screen on the Xperia X10 is pretty terrible. It has caused me to miss calls because I couldn't manage to move the slider all the way. I'm not sure why it couldn't handle that, but it's quite annoying.

I get that too, but yeah, it's definitely an X10 problem, and not a 1.6 thing. Thankfully, SE is taking the update opportunity to change it, so hopefully it will be more responsive.

Hi lovely guys of the Note 3 forum!!
I've had my Note 3 for some time now and I was wondering if my screen is defect since it does act a little weird. I hope you can clarify this for me
Whenever I put my screen on low brightness, the screen tend to leave a trail of purple color behind whenever I scroll/move something. It'd be very nice if anyone with a Note 3 could test this for me, if u are having the same problem or if it's just me
A good way to test this, is to set brightness to 0% and then pull the notificationcenter down and try to swipe the notifications away slowly and look closely, if u can find some purple trail leaving behind the swiping object. To see this clearly, you can download the app Lux and set the brightness to sub-zero. Try -50% and it should be very easy to see. Would mean a ton to me if you could report back. I need to return my device asap if it's defect.
Thank you very much!! <3
EDIT: Here is a video of the problem!

Just turn off or switch off "development setting" and try again, if not, return the device.

Don't think you can don't worry about it
Hey guys!
Just to confirm we're talking about the same thing, here is a video I took of the problem
EDIT: Seems like I've discovered a general issue with S4/Note3; Ghosting/smearing. God damnit, this is annoying. The shop will probably not even take it back now. ****..
cannot duplicate
I can't see this at zero brightness. I even installed lux and set it to subzero, and I still can't see it. I'm using an SM-900T.
I think I know what you are talking about. I also believe my smartphone has same problem. As an example if you download BBC News application,then scroll down to end of page and pull further you will see this tail of light appear. It also does this in the settings page when you scrol up or down but you have to get to bottom or top of page and pull further

Not sure if that was sarcasm... BEcause I hope it was.
That's the replacement for the 'bounce at end of page' that Apple successfully sued Samsung over. It now glows.
exactly the same problem with mine. fast moving UI elements leave a purple trail behind them.
could it be that some batches of screen are affected and some are not? it doesn't bother me too much though.
---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 AM ----------
here is a way to check if it is affecting you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46039769&postcount=6
With tiny fonts in a really really dark room with really really low brightness I notice this. Lets bring on some more make believe "issues"... HAHA
I don't know where to begin. So I'll just bullet point whatever comes to mind.
I used the Indian version of this device. It's littered with grammatical mistakes. Grammatical f* mistakes. It's like reading the menu off a really cheap multi-cuisine restaurant.
Swiping down turns on a crippled search. I don't search. I don't want a search. But search I must, because there's no way to change that behavior.
Well listen now, if you want to swipe down to get the Notification Center, you must swipe from only the top of the screen.
Umm.. where are the advanced bluetooth controls? My wireless buds are at half their volume.
So you show me a fingerprint icon on the lock screen, but sometimes you don't? What does that even mean? And thanks for animating it using a pseudo-random generator.
So this UI offers an always on clock. That's all you get. And that clock will move around. Because like, that junior dev decided it would be cool and his PO was too busy preparing tag-lines for raising bars.
Say you get a notification and you decide you don't want anymore from that app. No simple hold and toggle to turn off. Nope, swipe left, tap settings button, go into settings menu, figure out which setting you're in, turn off settings.
I use Spotify. I like playback controls in the middle of my Spotify notification window. And whaddya know, there's a way to make that happen in the UI. But it doesn't stick. You change it, and Color OS is like wut.
Ending a call pops open a countdown. A black screen with a f*ing countdown with actions that you may want to do like "save that number". And nope, you can't turn that off either.
If there's ever an example of how lots of small things can completely ruin an experience, it's this. It just makes me sad, and appreciate how good of a device my Poco phone was.
I do really like the fast charging. That's fun to watch.
Glad I have the EU version. Indian version seems bad

That's not an ColourOS thing, because my Huawei Mate 8 with EMUI 8 and Android 7 do the same!

The clock has to move, because of the the burn-in problem of the AMOLED Displays.
The phone is really new. There will be another ROMs and Updates like ColorOS 7. Give the phone a chance or send it back.
Same for me, i am waiting the device from spain to italy but hope in aosp or porting because i know ColorOS sucks
Whilst ColorOS isn't my Favourite, they have made an effort to improving it for the western market. Considering what it was like when I had my Find X to what we have now, id say it has greatly improved (Still not perfect) however i personally wouldn't say now it's ruining this device and with Color0S 7 coming and Realme doing their thing I can honestly see it getting much better.
We all have preferancea and it's obviously not for not for you, that's fine, I don't particularly like Miui, but I wouldn't say it ruins Xiaomi products , it just doesn't suite me.
