Customized my Evo Housing

So I Know everyone has seen the red frame near the battery door, but I decided to swap the back cover completely with a white evo.
I think it looks awesome, but it was a pain to get the little metal connectors off the black housing and onto the white.

One of my coworkers did the same with their Evo, looks pretty awesome.
The white housing's paint can also be easily scratched off to make it red. The white battery cover isn't paint though so it stays white.

[MOD]Orange Desire HD[MOD]

Hello Guys!
I bought a Desire HD in December 2010 as my first Android Phone and also my first Smartphone. I was very happy with it and i fell in love with Android.
Sometime later after i checked out neary all Apps on the Android Market I got bored and decided to root my DHD. After The successful rooting the whole World of Android was open. I landed immidiatly here at XDA where all the cool magic happens. I flashed always buggyer things and got a fashmatic (you know what I mean). I have to say a big thanks to all devs of the Desire HD Forum who worked hard and still do for bringing us the best and the newest roms.
Also the flashing and stuff was normal I saw a thred with the chromed DHD. I was amazed and after a few month i did it but only with the frame. It was really nice and meany friends asked me if I had a new phone
Then after a few weeks i talked with a frend whose father could make a powder coating and I panted it in Orange. And now finally thats the result and i think its really nice
Now I have to share with you a few picture of the mod. All is working exept the Volume button i have to grind there the case a bit that he fitts.
enjoy

Looks cool man. That's a nice shade of orange. Nice work!
Why didn't you paint over the black plastic covers too? Also what kind of paint did you use and how did you do it?

Wow, that looks great. Cool idea you had
Paint and sell the parts for other people - I would buy it

That's excellent work there
I take it you took the phone apart to just get the aluminium case done?

Close inspection looks like very poorly made, dodgy stitching, the plastic of the phone holder looks like it is of the hard/brittle type.....looks lovely, but suspect quality imho

Looks massive to me. Where are you going to carry that?

That actually looks amazing, would be very cool to have it, do you have the link?

Looking on the pics from link - ordinary plastic ruins all effect, compared to... other models on photo above.
It looks like someone got an ancient-style made golden necklace with the can opened in the centre of it

My honest opinion is that it does look pretty cool.
Even though i wouldnt have it myself.
But i dunno. Just feels like its more the kinda thing you see for iphone for than s3 lol.
But any way thats only my opinion mate

I wouldn't know how it fits on S3 because originally it's for iPhone.
But indeed it's a nice case.

Nexus 4 or xperia Z

I have a chance to trade a nexus 4 for a xperia z. I would like anyone that has had both phones to let me know what would be the better choice. I do like flashing roms at times but don't do it a lot but do take a lot of pics and videos. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks to all who reply.

That's like asking Key lime pie early or next year.

The only feature Xperia Z has is the Waterproof and Dustproof feature..
I had a handson Xperia Z its not that good. I am not being biased but to be true N4 is way better than Xperia Z.
Nexus 4 beats Xperia Z in all other cases..
Go for N4.:good:

I wish I can have better forum "ethics", but ...

Cheeky Cheeky

I don't have a n4 but I recently bought my wife the xperia z. It's cool, looks nice, and water resistant. It has a pretty nice screen and a nice size. The glass on the sides kinda have that purple blue playstion color. I know they have a purple one, I guess it might be the same color as the sides. Pictures seem a little over saturated though. Definitely like the pure android though. If I had a choice I would get the n4 which I will get in a month

Nice catch. Reported thread for spam.

What are talking about you have no ethics.

It is likely that there are only a few users to have both phones,
and since the trolling has already started,
I ask that if you a response for Blueknight730 to use a PM
Also "which is best" comparison threads are not very welcome on XDA.
for futher discussions please find existing threads. There plenty to find.

Looks pretty much undamaged, what a durability! : DDDDDD

The funny part is that the phone still was receiving notifications until the battery was dead and the notification light was still working The lift is weigh about 6000 kg (A big one)

I just realized how much I love my phone Accidents happen - be careful next time

And here I thought when I saw the 'pickup truck running over an Xperia Active' that smartphones are becoming sturdier..
They should change the rolled over test from a truck to a lift
But seriously, 6 tons?? A smartphone would have to be made of diamond or something to withstand that.

Clearly you did not have a screen protector on it... shame on you
The magic question is... are going with the same color?
