I <3 XDA forum redesign!

Very nice work folks! Looking great so far...time to kick the tires and drive it around a bit

Dont post this here just because this is the area of XDA you reside in . The forums at the top of XDA like the off topic section or the about xda would be better suited.

Looking great form.

Hey look! I gots my own xda stalker! rofl
couple things, I don't want it at the top level exactly because I do reside here and so posted here for conversation related to the redesign, with other HD2 owners. capiche?
Oh and secondly mr wannabe mod, if you don't like it here, move it. Or delete it, I don't care either way. About the same way I feel about you or what you have to say at this point.

I prefer fixed width of the forum i.e 960px or 850px!

No offence guys (not my business I know), but how old are you? 5? You supposed to be working in making things better for all, not fight for nothing at all...
It is a nice template, maybe should try more black than brown (just my opinion), format looks perfect...
Good luck with the wonderful work

Waste of a thread

I prefer the old format.

good design
I like this new skin for XDA.. hmm n only one suggestion.. if you put a mod to change the colour of font and background of your choice when you log in..

First of all the skin is really nice but with my HD2 it is worse to navigate than before.
But the thread should be closed. Its the wrong subforum to post about it...

So you like it, but you want to change it
All the anal retentives need not worry - I'm sure the thread will be moved/merged/closed when it gets spotted.

Google confirms Nexus S Android 2.3.3 update changed screen color temps

As seen on big sites and Google forums. This may become so BIG! that Google just might be hitting us unhappy people with a Ota/app.apk/link to update soon because of the change of colors on the Nexus S....Here is the link...oooh, yeah.

Looks okay to me. But it would be awesome if we could adjust it our selves.

Totally disagree...
The 2.3.3 color settings are a massive improvement!
The real problem is that Samsung never addressed this issue with their SAMOLED phones to begin with. Now they've trained their customers to expect these garish contrast and color imbalances.
If you read through those threads you linked, you'll see that there are plenty of people that like the new color rendering.
Maybe Google should make the display settings user-adjustable like a TV.

Jalyn02, stop posting in the development section unless you are posting a [ROM], a [Kernel], a [Guide] or a [Reference]. This thread is none of those and does not belong here. Follow the XDA rules.

Sorry XDA MOD'S I'M a little new to the threads
can you delete this thread I'll have to move it to general...Sorry

Why is it that you want to be a mod so bad? let them speak on there own...BTW! I just said THAT!

Its been reported and a mod will move it but in the future I would suggest you read the rules of the forums. This should have been posted on one of the many threads already discussing the color 'issue'.
Now, on topic:
To anyone who thinks there really is an issue here is what I want to see: Get a sheet of blank white printer paper. Navigate your phone to Google.com and hold the sheet of paper over the google logo so you see only the white paper and the white background of the page. Tell me how different the two colors look and take a picture. Post them. I'd bet they are pretty damn close because I know the colors on my Nexus S and my wife's after I updated both to stock 2.3.3 were very natural looking. What most people call bright on the other SGS devices is actually just very blue which the human eye reads as very bright white. Its not. I
Here is another fun test:
Navigate to this image on your phone: Picture on 2.3.3 and see how much detail you can see. Now revert back to 2.3.2 (just flash any current ROM) and do the same test. Guess what? You won't see near as much detail. What you think is deep blacks actually should be nuanced greys but because of the overly blue saturation it appears to be black.
One final fun test: If you have photoshop open a new file and make it blue. Now invert the color. Guess what color comes up? Yellow! The same supposed new tint of the screen.

@kenvan19, people like you are the reason why people leave XDA. Please let XDA do there job's I rather here the bad news from xda whenI make a mistake then you or any other average JOE.

If I make people who clutter the development section with useless posts that are redundant and irrelevant then I'm happy about that. Also, mods know that they can't read every new thread posted so they do ask that people help enforce the rules, I did that politely. You took it personally and decided to attack me.

I'm not a troll or do I flame the threads. I am a real person that love XDA and, would never troll there site. I was excited and really wanted to get the good news to the people who don't like the new color on there Nexus S. I spoke to Ry Guy over @ Google forums and, I do see that there are two sides to the story. one side said that they had a problem from the beginning, now the other side; witch is my side and many of others don't think that it should have been change. You would be a lie if you are saying that more people like this, then the one's that don't. If you read the link over a Google forums that I posted, you would see that more people don't like the change of the color then that do.

@kenvan19, I'm sorry if you think that I attacked you, I really am. I did not mean to post that here. I think that if I post it in the right section then, more people would have got what I call good new's then here...

I'm not calling you a troll nor do I know how many people like it as opposed to how many don't. What I can tell you is which side is wrong about it being factually "wrong". What I mean by that is claiming the yellow tint is a bug or something of the sort is false. I can see the difference between the two screens; I held my wife's 2.3.2 phone next to my 2.3.3 and I saw the difference but I also know that what people are calling overly yellowish is actually just more natural. Now, if people dislike that they are more than welcome to try and change it for themselves but I would rather have an accurate display on my phone that shows minute details than having one that looks a bit brighter while not actually being brighter.

Dude...Here, Hear...there, their, ...learn how to spell you illiterati.

@kenvan19, O'k but, do you think that Google should have put a app.apk in the update for us to adjust the screen i'll selves to even things out? I think it was a bold move on Google. Something like what T-Mobile did with the Vibrant, when they put the Task Manager in a update to save on the battery.

Honestly, and I know this will sound ignorant, I don't think they should've. I think they made the right choice and that there are plenty of apps on the market that can alter the color temperature not to mention the voodoo kernel which most people are reporting makes everything look "normal" again.

I don't really understand why people unhappy with it. I was going to sale my Nexus S because of this purple tint issue, and then Voodoo color patch released for Nexus S. It also fixed the purple tint on dark greys. And now Google released an update that fixes those purple tint at all.
Now it looks like how it should be.
White is white, grey is grey, black is black. Nothing washed out.
I <3 my Nexus S now =)

They were trying to fix the gray's which they did, but they did it wrong. Thankfully, there's Netarchy's kernel working with voodoo color and it looks awesome.

Actually, you're wrong. They did it perfectly. If you read any of the posts by myself or the others who have actually done real color calibrations then you would know that. Its just that the blind masses tend to like bright, shiny stuff better than things that look, you know, real.

And this post is why you've been added to my ignore list.

Got the phone yesterday, it had 2.3.2, upgraded to 2.3.3 and I think that the colors look washed out and yellowish.
I'm not saying it isn't right in a colorimetrical way, but I loved the 2.3.2 colors a lot more.
I hope they do something about this in the next update.

Request: Houston Texans Theme

Just was wondering if someone could make a Houston Texans theme? been searching, but I cant seem to find one anywhere. That or a theme involving some sexy *****es with a red and blue theme to it , or even sexy *****es, with the houston texas logo.

Well, let's see... your post started out ok, until along about half-way, until the point where you broke XDA rules.
Let's see how long it last's, until you edit your post, the Mods see it, or some of the resident female users see it.
Regardless, you cannot ask about a theme, as themes are Rom and build specific. In easy redneck terms, square pegs go in square holes.
Example: If I create a theme for say ver 3.2 xxxx.buildCom_Gen1 systemUI.apk, you cannot flash it on Ver3.1 xxxxxbuildEMEA_TMPL. Won't work, or at the least, you will have very strange issues.
Your best bet, is to contact one of the rom builders, and politely ask if they can do this for your specific rom. Also, you will have to be rooted.

Bad bad bad

Way To Go...
You could not just ask for a theme with a background of a attractive woman on it.OR Cheerleader for the team . Even that me reading my Sentence above sounds a bit out of line toward women .This is not the farm.Women are not drug around by there hair here.We demand to get the respect we deserve.
Sorry Admin's,Mod's,Fellow XDA Members ...I know i should have let this thread drop off the deep end.But when someone is this far out of line. they do need to be told.

I really don't think this thread was that far out of line. Oh no! Why didn't he say "attractive women" instead?!?!? If you're offended by what was requested, perhaps the internet is not for you. Perhaps being in public is not for you as well.
Anyway, I don't know how to design themese but aren't NFL themes available in the market?
Also, go Giants!

Nah.... would be too easy.
The funny things, is I believe one of Civato's rom is the exact color theme, and that would just leave a quick photoshop layer of the team logo on the required wallpaper.

HA HA. When you get an unsolicited PM's, containing the "f" word several times, well, you get the picture on who you're dealing with. And especially when they have absolutely nothing to do with the work you have done, or the work of others. Just random.
XDA has rules. Quite frankly, I don't think a lot of people bother to read them. However, one specifically states about offensive language. Sure, toss the colorful metaphors at me, and I'll just delete and block.
But to post what was posted, well, XDA has users of all types, and they shouldn't be subjected to reading such garbage. Especially from a site which is designed to assist people. Not to look for "b_tches"
Maybe the language is accepted in "some" people's culture. Usually relegated to some backwoods uneducated class, or the socially illiterate.
And yeah,,,, go Giants. A repeat for next year.

Back glass slightly cracked. Is a replacement even necessary?

Hi guys, this is not a whine thread.
I'm travelling Vietnam and Thailand for 2 months, was picking up my day pack, forgot to close the zipper and dropped my N4. No biggie, still works like a charm, but a couple of days later I noticed there is a barely visible crack going half-circle-wise from the top right to the bottom right of the back glass. Might even just have been the heat around here and not the drop, as it's a constant 35+ degrees celsius and there is no visible "pressure point" to the crack. It is just one single crack.
I don't even care about it. It's virtually invisible and my phone is a work horse. I've always used it naked and I'll replace it some day anyways.
However, I am wondering if the crack will get worse, or if there is any reason besides aesthetics to replace the back glass. I love my N4 and I'd rather spend some money now to fix the broken back then buy a new phone a few months from now if the crack is just the start of a bunch of problems to come.
If the crack will not get worse or cause more problems in the future though, I was thinking of just putting a thin, hard case on it when I get home.
Did anyone here crack their N4's back glass and decide to not get it fixed?
Cheers!

Wrong section of the forum mate, should of been posted in the Xperia Z Q&A Section as this has nothing to do with Android Development lol

Go home boy, you're drunk. hahaha. This isn't nexus 4 forum and this is a development thread. Haha.

Are posts like that really necessary ? Is this 9GAG or XDA Developers ? If you can't answer the question, then don't post - and if the section is wrong, there's a nice yellow triangle for you to press and let the devs know...
@OP: There is no point in replacing it now, unless you can do it for free or very very cheap. If you can live with it - just ignore the crack. Be careful though, if it cracked - it might break sooner or later. A hard case might help as you won't put so much pressure on the glass with it on. This is a wrong section, yes, but if you look at Nexus 4 forums - cracked back glass happens quite often with this phone and most users seem to ignore the issue as it's not worth the hassle.

Don't post questions in Development, thread moved to Q&A.
Thanks

My sincere apologies for posting it in the wrong subforum.
Thanks for the replies! I'll probably not get it fixed then.

Poll: Which color are you getting?

Since the other thread didn't have a poll. I figure it would be interesting to see what the majority favorite color is.

Anybody know if the material on the back is different between colors? Also, the only thing keeping me still interested in the midnight blue is how sweet the nexus lettering looks,

I'm getting blue. I hate getting white of anything because of how terrible it looks when it gets dirty or has scuffs.

Sorry but there's already a thread.
