I kinda like the look and features of arc messenger ...the stock gb messenger its OK ..at least better than sense 2.1(sense 3.0 kick ass) the way you receives pictures here on arc its pretty cool. Big preview and u can add a comment to your pic without have to do a slide show or ur comment shows on a different page. So arc messenger remind me of wp7 messenger kinda.

Switched from Fresh Tom to cyanogenmod

Ok so here's my QUESTION/PROBLEM
I just flashed into cyanogenmod using snapturbo 7.6
My question is when I was using fresh I had the HTC smart dial that predicts who you are trying to call and the "people " widget/Client that links your Facebook contacts profile pic to your contacts..
In cyanogenmod it doesn't have that.. is there an update that I need to get to fix this.. also the E-mail client is not the same.. did someone have the same problem and fix it? It seems like I downgraded when I flashed to cyanigenmod.. or am I missing something?

The cm6 dialer is diffrnt. Try dialerone.
And u sync via the fb app
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo
You switched from your boyfriend Tom to cyanogen? I thought cyanogen was married.
Thanks let me check that out

had the same problem when i was a sense head...
basically... htc sense is a skin over what android was 'meant' to look like.... no its not a downgrade because you do not have the 'pretty skinned widgets'
for alike or better alternatives, look into (if you use it) launcher pro's widgets.... or you can use something like pure widgets (messenger, music, calendars etc etc), jorte and android agenda widget are great as well
Thanks will those Widgets "update" to the Tom I used to use in Sense

So, After much research.. I went back to Fresh rom.. although Im not going to be able to run 7.6 Snapturbo im willing to sacrifice that , because I just really got used to the Sense way of life

Really miss timescape UI home...

Yeah, I really miss setting timescape as my main home screen. It was possible with 1.6.. and it worked really well. For some reason they removed this in 2.1. Is there any way to add this back?
Just wait for the UI update on Q1 we should see some interesting stuff.

Well, you are the first person that I meet for loving the timescape. For me, it just a simply disaster for the CPU and the RAM, may be it'll better with Tegra II + DDR II ram+native SSD but not with the old snapdragon+SD card.
Hey I do also love Timescape!!!

I kove Timescape and Mediascape too. I guess this is why we bought X10, right?
If not we would have gotten a Nexus One.
I hope SE reads this! I don't want them getting the wrong idea of there timescape being a "disaster". In my opinion it's a wonderful asset, especially when you can set it as your home interface.
Actually i'm not using the asop roms because of mediascape it's really best media program on android

Yeah i like Mediascape and Timescape too, and with the new 2.0.2 Firmware its alot faster and really enjoyable.
i have problem with updating timescape.
i live in iran and facebook an towtter and... are filter for u.so we have to open them by V..P..N,but still it just update for the first time that i register fo account but not any more,so i have to delet privious one and register again.
can any one help me out?
Personally I removed mediascape. I use Spotify as a source of music and as it doesn't intergrate into mediascape, I don't see the point. I do love the UI though. SE may take forever and a day to release an update but they do a damm good job on the UI when they do.
All I would like to see is the removal of the blue theme. I prefer black.

You can change the theme, black doesn't come as standard however, do you like pink?
My hope is they add more functionality to timescape on this update, I loved it as a concept but functionality was zero compared to other applications.

yeah i liked mediascape too ... especially after the update where you could use it in landscape mode (before i always had to use the stock player when i used my phone in my car)
but timescape is like the worst crap ive ever seen ...
Fwiw Timescape just surprised me. I don't generally use it and use the fb app. But I just noticed that it ignores the posts from blogs and corporate posting. I like that function.

well...it may be a long time until ICS run on X10
OMG OMG OMG
Highly unexpected
I know right, been testing out what I can get working.....basically only some of the old stuff we've got from the older arc roms, I think the status switch widget is updated, but don't quote me on that.
and curse your sig, I thought I had a bug on my screen D:
That's good, maybe we can use some stuff inside package for Arc S. Damn it, also mod old kernel too.

Preview show the ROM more like SE version of ICS not like original ICS or Cyanogen style. but the page linked to FXP CM 7.2.0 (Arc/Arc S)
System.IMG contains odex files. Some apps like SEMCMusic, Media Widget and photo widget can be installed on Cobrato MIUI but only Media Widget can be use.
I believe the X10 has some capable reverse engineers. With this ICS alpha release from SE, hopefully we will see a complete ICS rom for the X10.
new hopes comes )
I have been trying to get the new apps to work on the GB fw but whatever I try doesn't seem to work. The fact it lets us see the apps and not parse error us means there has to be a way they will work. I will keep looking into it and and let you guys know .

Xperia Tablet Z 4.2 Screenshots!!!

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere, but as I was updating my Xperia Link app on the play store, I noticed it has screenshots which had the notification bar moves to the top and the three main home, back and open apps buttons moved to the centre of the bottom bar like a nexus 10.
So it seems Sony will be changing it to match the Nexus tablet line UI for the forthcoming update.
Nice find!
Hopefully the update comes soon.

is that what 4.2 will really look like?
im not a hater or anything but to be honest i dont like it, i guess i need to stick the current appearance if that so...
plus i agree with the person above me.. the shortcut for small apps and remote is gone...
anyway, its not really out yet and i hope that kind of appearance is for phones
i just remember that i think xperia z tab will not go for 4.2 cause it will jump to 4.3, IM NOT SURE

Android adopted the phablet UI in favour of the tablet UI from 4.2 onwards.

the image is clearly photoshopped. look at the status bar - the bluetooth and wifi icons are off centered and much too big, same with the battery percentage. also the apps look like they are copied in, they are much too close to the navigation bar. this is clearly a fake screenshot.
let´s see what the real 4.2 update will bring us i would appreciate the switch to the new tablet ui from 4.2. it´s so much more intuitive and needed for 4.2 because where would the quicksettings go without it?

Small apps are probably going to be moved to the recent apps button like they are on the smartphones.

I don't think Sony will switch to a phablet ui. It would confuse their 'normal' consumer base (excluding people here). And companies always assume users are idiots, so i'm pretty sure we'll still have the tablet ui
Sony is trying to keep the core framework and such as close as possible to stock Android. I also don't like this new UI, but I'm sure as soon as we have the 4.2 system deodexed, mods to bring the old Tablet UI will be back...

It might be photo shopped, but it is from official screenshots from a Sony tablet app on Google Play, so we have to assume it is the new UI. Like you though, I guess we'll have to see
Nothing surprise if Sony switch to this Phablet look as Android officially kill off the Tablet UI since Jelly Bean 4.2.2
I do hope Sony keep the tablet UI even on 4.2.2 or 4.3 in future, I not really fancy on Phablet UI on Tablet due to it just smaller more the screen usage due to Status Bar and Navigation Bar get separate.
Sorry, but:
If this ends up being the case someone will need to port PA to this device. I do not want to give up more screen for the notification bar up top.

I've seen PAC-Man but not PA, PAC has the PA per-app DPI changer so its pretty much PA with a bunch more goodies from CM and AOKP.
The only problem is, unless it has been fixed in the past 2 or 3 days, that the ROMs don't have WiFi working on the WiFi only XTZ. A lot of people, myself included, chose the WiFi only XTZ because we didn't need the cellular connectivity and because it was quite a bit cheaper. The entire reason a lot of people haven't unlocked their bootloader is because there is simply no reason to at the current moment because the ROMs haven't progressed far enough, no fault of the hard working devs, for them to be completely functional or have even all the core functions.

I have never seen how that's implemented, I have never had the chance to use a Sony android phone. My carrier, Verizon, doesn't carry them, I believe the last one that Big Red had was the Xperia Play. Hopefully Big Red will bring the Xperia Z Ultra, I would gladly give up my Note 2 and pay full retail price, to keep my unlimited plan, for it!
Anyway, I got off topic for a bit.... Would you mind explaining how the Small Apps being in the Recent Apps works?
