Nexus S's screen colors

Hello, I own a epic 4g and I had a quick question regarding the nexus s screen and figured it would be better to ask it here because you guys would know more about it. My girlfriend bought a nexus s and I noticed that colors on the screen are smoother. Is this a UI thing, or is there something different about the screen.

you can flash a kernel with Voodoo color and it should change it a little bit

Our froyo source isn't going to be out for a while. And I don't want to go back to eclair, so I guess I will wait. Heh, I'm kinda hoping its a GB change though.

Its mainly GB and the GB launcher. You could push the GB launcher and your phone should be just as smooth screen wise, such as scrolling through screens. I came from the vibrant. As far as everything else, I'm not so sure.

Froyo gingerbread apps on honeycomb in horizontal screen

He hello,
Is there a solution to show the apps form froyo and gingerbread on a horizontal screen in honeycomb? Because i'm using my TF most of the time hotizontal i don't want to turn my screen each time. I don't mind if I end up with black sidebars.

Pull down notification bar?

Currently running cyanogenmod on my 7.7, I would prefer the 'phone' interface with the pull down notification bar, is there any way that I can enable this?
Thanks

I think this requires a dpi change . I'm not sure, but I'd be interested in trying this out. It'd work kinda like the Nexus 7.

Set swipe-down gesture (on any decent launcher) to "open notification".

Yeah, swipe down notification like a phone, but i wanna it workable on landscape too

I don't understand why anyone likes the pull down bar, to me the most natural place is at the bottom of the screen where my thumbs rest. It's hassle to have to move to the top of the screen. What advantages is it to have the bar at the top?

The term pull up bar was already taken. And no one likes pull up bars

You can change it with modifying the build.prop file and change the settings for:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
I think if you set it to 240 it will run in so called "phablet" mode and you have the Pull down bar.
I tried it, but almost broke my installation, as the screen stayed totally black after a reboot.
So i stopped fiddling with this option.

I've got mine

I've been playing with my Note2 for a couple of hours, was sort of sad to turn my Note1 off....
Well, what's to be said?
I'm not disappointed but I can't say I'm over-whelmed with a years worth of development and technology.
I did my best to stick with the standard home but ended up back on LauncherPro - it gives much better use of the screen size, being able to resize widgets, customize the 15(x2) dock icons etc...
The screen difference is noticeable to me - bigger screen and lower resolution is... not best.
There is an issue with using App2SD in that it believes there is no external SD, EStrong's file explorer need redirecting to the external SD too.

Does using a 3rd party launcher make the phone more laggy?

I always remove icons and widgets from the default home screen first, never noticed any lag.

Watching a video, picture-in-picture while messaging and doing other tasks is _great_ !!

I've just stuck Nova on mine and it's like lightning, stock launcher is too if I'm honest.

Some questions before getting Nexus 7

Hi, I'm getting Nexus 7 on Christmas, and I would like to ask some questions.
How's tablet mode with this tablet?
Any defects which are popular?
Are any game lagging? (I will play a lot I think)

If your on 4.1.2 you can change it to tablet mode or with a custom ROM. Mine has minor screen lift. Don't mind since I have accidental. And gaming is awesome!

I think I'll run PA, I had it on my One X and it was awesome. Thanks for the answer! :laugh:

There are many people having defects.. but you exchange it untill you get a perfect one LOL
About tablet mode, I just tried it and I don't know which one I like most... I highly reccomend you to hide navigation screens and top bar, so you can get use of your screen at 100% and with gmd gestures you can go back forward recent applications move directly to homescreen etc...
