THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT YOUR WISHLIST IN 2.1
THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN 2.1
THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU WANTED AND SONY ERICSSON HAS NOT DELIVERED IN 2.1
THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU LIKE MORE IN 2.1
----------------------------------
This is about:
What you liked better in your 1.6 SE-X10, rather than the updated 2.1 X10.
(Yeah I know, we don't have it in hand.. But we all have seen a preview and some screenshots of it)
This include UI, settings, ease of access, apps.. any other thing you can think of..
-----------------------------------
My list is (its a mini list)
1. Unlock screen: I liked the curved unlock better.
2. App Launcher Icon/Button: A Square Button! Seriously! That swipe-up bar was so neat and elegant. (and totally unlike any other android phone)
3. Thick Notification Bar: Again, I found the thin one much elegant.
Now your inputs please....
the annoying-yet-unique curve unlock.
I would also rather the thin bars, however I've been using adw, so the jump shouldn't be bad

Couldn't agree more! I would also list:
- Smaller icons (to fit more icons per page) that will be less finger-friendly
The notification bar on the X10 2.1 is thick like every other Android? Really? That's disappointing. I really like the thin bar.
yeah, I'll miss the curved unlock. I may play with it a little more before the update comes.

Same here. I don't know why some dislike the curved lock. I think it's really sweet and is more ergonomic when unlocking the phone using just one hand.

When the final release comes the curve lock may still be in it guys. Remember so far the images/videos etc we've seen are pre-release.
I too love the curve lock and thin notification bar.

I agree with all points. I really like that unlock bar.
if you want to keep the lock screen, then download lockbot!
Curved unlock bar
slide up app drawer
thin notification bar
I wish they would keep those as is or at least provide settings to change them.
May be... Just may be. Xorrect me if i'm wrong.
In my opinion.... A smart phone should has OS. And in this case,it is called Android 2.1.
In other hand, it should has User Interface or User Experience. And this one is specially branded by phone manufacture. And SE is proud with its own style. This make difference between many brands of phone. And this is my personal reason why I like SE.
Hope, new 2.1 maintain notification and screen lock style.
[edited:]
Some changes to the interface, and there are so many improvement but some of them I really don't like. May be I just don't get ised to them or may be my personal reason.

curved unlock works for unlocking screen and answering calls.. left to right...
give it a go
not sure if you can reverse it.. ie right to left.

That's just a task manager. There's a skinable one for WM whose name I can't remember right now, but it's been discussed on this forum recently. Since it's skinable, you can make it look however you wish.
but
I look at mobile reviw thats part of new sense for android
The new version of HTC Sense features several nice touches - a more detailed screen with contact's personal information and his activities, plus the new Sense's main attraction, new screen transition system.
I don't know how it's implemented on Windows Mobile phones yet, but on Android it works like this. What you are at the home screen, pressing the Home button calls the Screen menu allowing you to pick the one you need, which is pretty convenient, but there is one flaw to it. The phones that were featured at HTC's MWC booth made that window pop-up only when we pressed the button while staring at the Home screen. If we happened to be looking at Music, Weather or any other section of the phone, punching the Home key got us back to the Home Screen and that was it. I feel like this feature must work in any place around the UI, and I hope that it will.
from mobile review MWC2010. HTC
taskfacade
Android home screens are customizable and can only be switched one by one which is why the helicopter view might be more important. You can fly with the slider bar on WM Sense so it makes it less useful - plus it'll be difficult to get all our tabs in that Expose-esque view

Actually that's not a task manager, thats the new pinch to zoom homescreen that zooms out to let you select the home screen. It's called leap, see demonstration here

But that's such a massive downgrade.
Lose 0.6" off your screen size, lose WinMo6.5.3 (which is better than Android imo), and lose your NA 3G coverage (assuming you're rocking a T9193).
I will say that at least HTC finally smartened up and started putting flashes in their phones. My buddy has an HTC Hero and the only complaint he has about it is no flash.
To be honest, I ordered one and will sell my HD2. I lose 0.6" screen size and one camera LED, but I gain Android.
Since I'm in Europe, I don't lose 3G.
I've used Android on an old Samsung phone for some time, and I discovered that I simply enjoy using it.
Despite that this phone is awfully slow and has a very small 3.2" screen, I find the experience to be much better than the one I have with my HD2.
Thus, I'm getting a Desire.
(I'd buy a Samsung Galaxy S with 4" screen, but I want at least one LED for the camera: http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/samsung-announces-galaxy-s-android-smartphone/)

Taskfacade has nothing to do with that... except that it looks similar, but totally different functionality.
Have tried and compare my and a friends screenhots of the 2 different Android versions (1.6 & 2.1)
The impressive change in my eyes is enough the calculator
More screenshots here.
Impressive
one of the differences is the calling screen, I liked the 2.1's where you can easily put on speaker or do other stuff
Aw, I didn't even realise the calculator changed. I liked it before.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Aw, would of been nice if they based the calculator more on the dialer, then i'd like it more.
The 1.6 one looks um "old" while the 2.1 one looks sorta out of place for a calculator haha.
The 1.6 slide-to-unlock wasn't that bad, let alone the sliding lag..Actually it was different from the usual slide locks/unlocks but the lag was awful so I prefer the 2.1 one!

tip for the day
you can actually continue to slide unlock in the same pattern as 1.6, you do not have to use the slide across the screen as indicated on the lockscreen.
see screenshot and try to unlock as shown with the red arrow (ie - the old way)
it still works

is good hey
btw - love the Mitch Hedberg quote! shame he's gone, he was brilliant
of corse the arch slide works..
the screen dose not track that your finger has left where the slider is but still tracks your finger move to the right and thus it unlocks
ya .. UI looks more elegant and rich.. and particualrly the android linked UI like drop downs , icons .. and other menu stuff and all looks a lot better
Love the new calculator. i can actually use it now without pressing every key at once!!

Are you serious?
How have you managed to do anything on the X10? Most actions require much more focused presses (eg. text messaging)
I dislike the thicker notification bar at the top, I don't see any viable reason to make it more like the stock size.
Cool, anybody got any screengrabs of the x10 mini post update?
Hi
I've got a Desire 2.2 and an x10 which has just updated to 2.1
I like the lock screen on the new x10 2.1
Anyone know if there is one like that available for the desire ?
Basically a lock screen showing my wallpaper, date & time (large) and have a slider at the bottom.
Slide left to right to unlock
Slide right to left to adjust the ringing volume.
When a call comes in and the phone is locked, you see who is calling and sliding left-> right answers, right -> left drops the call.
Anything like this for the desire... ideally free
Thanks

Oh I know, there very good reasons I jumped ship! This is a about the only feature I miss!
And the advantage of the screensaver, which doesn't have to be a battery drainer at all, is a customizable notification bar. A plain old LED doesn't really cut it!
For the X10 style lock, try LockBot. Has an excelent clone and works very well

I started using LauncherPro and it's like a whole new tablet (I heard ADW works, too). Some things that I love about it (I hold in Landscape always). See screenshot to see what I mean
http://i.imgur.com/kTuHF.jpg
-Full use of screen real estate (I have set to 10 x10 grid). I can now have icons all the way to the edges and top/bottom of screen. No more enforced white space
-Widgets
- First, LauncherPro widgets...I prefer the list view of Bookmarks
- Resizable widgets - an absolute necessity imho. Can even resize things like original bookmark widget, gmail, etc.
- Method of adding - I love the vertical list view of what I'm adding vs. having to scroll horizontally through pages and pages of widgets.
-Dock - I love having my 5 favorite apps on the right side of screen. It feels natural holding the device and choosing with thumb. Still have top/right link to open App Drawer (Wonder if ADW allows for more than 5 icons in your dock)
-Folders - why isn't there folders capabilities in Honeycomb?
-Screen Preview - Being able to click home and see all 5 (or even 7) screens and quickly jump
How did you install launcher pro on it? I would also like to use this.

At first the idea of blink feed really irritated me but now that I've had the one for about a week I actually have been using it and it's really grown on me. It reminds me of flip board only there was something about flip board that I hated and Blink feed seems to be the same concept only more simple and user friendly IMO.

That's the thing haha, if you could remove it from the get-go, you would never have a chance to appreciate it because for quite a lot of people it takes a bit of time for it to catch on. I think that not being able to remove it is ok, but being limited to so few sources is a HUGE fault.
Yes this is true lol as I said when I first got the phone I hated the idea of it but by it being forced on me by HTC I actually grew to love it :thumbup:

Hate it, hate it hate it, dont like it, dont want it...........................
So to summarize, I want an option to disable it. It does not have the sources I want, nor does it have efficient interface to read all stories from one source quickly. And I dont want my social life plastered on my home screen. I dont use facebook and nothing is as good as Falcon Pro for twitter which I do use. So no, I dont want blinkfeed. I dont mind having it as a feature on phone as long as I can disable it. I dont like it forced down my throat.
I tried it for a day and it was meh!
Due to this approach I am simply not using Sense 5. There are tons of launcher options out there. Some better than any android skin. I am sticking with simple Nova for now.
You know you can always not set up blinkfeed and just set another screen as your home screen, right?
Just make blinkfeed the last screen on the left, since we can't move it to the right.
Just in case someone doesn't know...just pinch your screen and the option to edit will pop up.

It's hidden away to the left of my home screen until there's a way to remove it from the Sense launcher.
You know you can just remove facebook and Twitter from blink feed all together?
It's one of the options, that's what I did because I don't like my social stuff all over my home screen either and I just put blink feed all the way to the left as there is no infinite scrolling and I never end up there by accident
But it's your right not to like it, I was just curious.

Yes, there is an option. The thing is, I dont want any source from blinkfeed's list. (Actually I do couple, but the way their stories are presented is actually less efficient than using something like Pulse with widget. And rest are absent. Not efficient to use 2 things to do 1 thing. I dont want my facebook plastered on blinkfeed, so that is also gone.. And it is not as good as Falcon. So basiclaly I dont need it. I want it disabled totally, not have 1 extra home screen wasted with blue blotches.
When it comes to phone interface, I am a bit OCD. I can change my home screen. But I would know there on the left side hides a monster that is always there just waiting to throw big blue squares and rectangles in my fact when i go there............
Blinkfeed is also not the only reason to ditch Sense 5 for me. I also dont like the app drawer and way it works, the way desktop action is limited to just adding widgets and I need 4 steps to change simple thing like wallpaper, not to mention wasted space on 1080P screen which can easily take 5x6 grid.
Options and choices is why I love android. I am not ready for any OEM to force a launcher I dont like down my throat.

If you did care to read the previous posts I have already changed the launcher to Nova Launcher prime for exact same reason. I was responding to the posts where some people said you can ignore that page and leave it there in Sense 5. And my other reasons for not liking Sense 5 and why I replaced it with Nova.
That is precisely what I meant. I am not going to use Sense as it is because OEM decides I need to use it certain way. I will change it to something else like I have done already.
I dont like things that just exists for the sake of it taking up usable space and hurting productivity. Now I have 3 screens with endless scroll to quickly go where I want to go and quickly do what I want to do.
Also I guess you missed little bit of sarcasm in my previous post
I really didn't like blinkfeed at first but then I got used to it, but the limited news sources did irritate me.
Moved to apex launcher after a few days and now on CM, definitely don't miss it

I don't mind blinkfeed but it's no Flipboard. It may eventually become better in future updates though and if that happens, I will be happy to use it full-time. My biggest gripe with it (and as a new Android/Sense 5 user, someone can tell me if this can be remedied) is that many of my photos and Zoes show up upside-down in Blinkfeed.
Like but needs more feeds.
