Can anybody see the distortion in Sense 3.0? I can see it a lot, especially with analog clocks and text.

i have no idea what you mean lol im trying to see how this m10 decoder works...can you be more specific with disortion?
I think he's talking about how everything looks squished down and stretched a little. I think it's due to the difference in Screen Size, since most of the ROMs started out as ports to the EVO or EVO Shift.
Uber Kingdom
I'm about to download Uber Kingdom which is running Sense 3.0
I'll take a look but I have heard people say that widgets do look distorted.

I'll give you a visual example - the extensions in my Chrome.
Originally, they look like this:

But after distortion, they look like this:
http://j.mp/jYbL0t
The distortion is off by about 7 percent, so it is a lot less than what is shown, but in real life and a larger image size, 7 percent is a lot too.

Yeah, I've been here since November, so I have no idea how a new leak works. Sorry if I'm being too impatient.
I kinda like the distortion (well don't mind for now). The icons seem a little smaller and yes i can tell they are "squished" but doesn't bother me too badly, other than my girlfriend doesn't like her pictures now because they make her look slightly short and wide....

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 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.

Well Hi All. Madhouse here. A buddy of mine who is a firefighter is also a part time Verizon employee, he was gracious enough to let me carry a droid X demo for the day here. It's currently 12:37 pm here and i will have access to the phone for a few more hours here. I made a few videos and took some pictures, i will try my best to answer any requests made in this thread while i have the phone. A few basic principals apply. Obviously i will not be demoing any rooting or hacking type activities on the phone because it is not mine.
Look forward to the questions! Enjoy!
(Will be editing and putting links to the videos in a minute here)
This is a test sample of the droid x's video capability in 720p

Wow, lucky! I know this may seem dumb... but an alternate home (such as LauncherPro) can be installed, right?
Also, what's the screen like? Is it very responsive/accurate?

I'll check into the launcher thing for you and the screen is AMAZINGLY accurate, i'll have a video of the multitouch vis app test up in a minute. It makes the Evo (My phone) look terrible as far as touch responsiveness.
how loud does the "loud" speaker sound compared to other smartphones? Also do you feel that the dual leds are very bright? Do the hard buttons on the front feel like they are good quality?

I was going to make a video but im using the Evo to make the videos, but yeah, it is SPOT ON for the touch sensitivity, makes the Evo look like it's stuck in the mud. Probably due to the FPS cap or something for all i know.

It's big, it's especially big if you turn it sideways. I'm a big guy too (6'4" 268 lbs.) The keyboard feels natural too, it's of good size. It has a multitouch keyboard as well as swype for fast typing.

Swype works VERY well for people with large fingers because its just dragging it across the keyboard and yes the keyboard feels great.

So you can't install Launcher Pro from the market?! I don't care about the default one, just need to know I can replace it with something else from the market.
This is what should happen (in case you don't know):
->Install Launcher Pro
->Hit home
->A box should come up asking what launcher you want to use (if you get to here it works).

Does this necessarily mean Launcher Pro is running instead of Moto's default? Or can it be on top of the original (i.e. wasting mem/cpu, running both)?
The choice it gives on pressing the home screen is just that it recognizes there are 2 registered apps that handle launcher requests, right? It doesn't necessarily kill one for the other, does it?
Only had Android for a few weeks, so sorry if silly question.
When I was on stock froyo, I wanted to know how answering calls, notifications, music, etc was on the sense roms, but no one had a video on that specifically. So I just made a quick video on what I liked most about Sense. Sorry about the quality, I was using a webcam. Maybe it'll get some people to try sense or influence people who are on the border of deciding. So far, I had no problems and loving it. I am using Virtuous .0.6.1 if anyone wanted to know. Thanks!

People complain about sense, but on this phone it's really not bad at all. Adds a hell of a lot of functionality, looks really good and doesn't slow it down. Sense has come a long way since the hero days, lol.
I'm just a vanilla android guy. Or will be again once CM comes out of RC.

Title says it all. I can confirm that gingerbread renders everything in gorgeous 32-bit colors!!!!!!
For example, the weather channel app would look like crap, now it looks great.
Wallpapers look STUNNING.
Press and hold the home button to open the recent used apps menu, notice how the black blackground is blending in so nicely. on 2.2 it looks like crap.
Edit: Screenshots up. XDA Adds a lot of compression to both photos but you can still tell the difference.
Cant wait to see this
anyone else able to confirm this? and what program did you use to determine its rendering in 32bit? just wondering
This is correct....

That's freaking amazing! I can't wait! Are you running gingerbread on your EVO?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I don't understand why this required Gingerbread to resolve it? but i'm looking forward to no more color banding in wallpapers either way
as a graphics guy, this is probably the best bit of news to come out of the whole gingerbread smorgasbord of news...

Yes, I was running gingerbread alpha 3. It's still pretty buggy and with a lot of things missing so I just went back to stock 3.70.

I went ahead and flashed the alpha 2.3 and honestly saw NO DIFFERENCE in color reproduction.
I know all the places online say the gingerbread renders in 32 bit but I believe its only certain apps and screens that are actually in 32 bit. I could be wrong though
sent from my DAMN EVO
I'll rephrase my response, since it wasn't what I meant. The evo 4g isn't capable of displaying 32-bit color.
And my response wasn't meant to be disrespectful. I'm simply asking for a source isn't of just saying that he used "his eyes".
Hmm, can't see the difference, must be my display.

Use it a little bit more and you will certainly notice the difference. For example, check out wallpapers and how there is NO color banding effect.
I wouldn't have posted if I had not noticed such difference. Again, it's a subtle effect most apparent in apps like the Weather channel. If you're in doubt, run it on gingerbread then do the same on Froyo, then come tell me you can't see a difference.

Sense 3.0 was developed for at least qHD phones. Since our phone isn't qHD, the ratios are going to be off. Putting things out of place and making some pictures blurry. Nothing can really be done about it.
