its cool that there at least trying to renovate things...just my opinion...

I don't see much difference other then they moved the free/paid option to the main screen for filtering, changed some png files and the background color. I can wait.

It needs a facelift, but more than anything else it needs a viable search engine. The search function it has now is sloppy and painfully unreliable, it's a wonder how anything like that could come from Google.

I agree, the search really is horrible, I can type in the exact name of an app, but unless its included in the pname, no dice.

+1 its a b*tch trying to find a specific app in the market

1. Fix the search function. Its not just bad its terrible. Mind boggling considering whos behind it.
2. Needs a way to show screenshots. Even if its a stupid link. ItunesApp store is miles ahead just because of this alone. Alot of time saved if I could see what the app/game looks like.
That said I do like the above screenshots.

Sam is a pretty decent Market App, it has screenshots and a decent range of app's

Digitizer Drawing Test

Has anyone thought to download the drawing program from motolabs and check to see how well the X10s screen performs? They did a test on the Nexus, Droid, iPhone and others and it was published a few weeks ago. If those that have the phone could try this, I would be interested to see the results.

have you got a link or do you know what it is called on the market? just checked for digitizer and motolabs but couldnt find anything..

I don't think there is an app, they just used whatever note taking app was available for each OS as far as I understand it.

Thats the link to the test page. The drawing apps used are listed and SimplyDraw was used for the Nexus and iPhone. I would try that app and see what kind of results you get.

@awtryau89 cheers for the web address!
doing the test as they did, but with an app called Draw(er), this is what i got...

the screen seems to perform better when the lines went diagonally down from the right, than diagonally down from the left. also, the far left and right hand sides of the screen don't seem to pick up any input for the last few mms - the left side being the worst.
if anyone else cares to try and see if they get better results, please post it, as it would be nice to see this verified on another x10.

Minimalistic Text Screens...

Just wondering if everyone would like to share their setup of their using this app to give ideas and show the capabilities of it's awesomeness, thanks

this is a good idea. Why am i the first to reply? I think it would be awesome to have a place where everyone could share their mtpref files and post pictures showing what they look like. That way people could build upon what others have created. I think it would be a good way to get the creative juices flowing. OP, you should think about creating this thread in the android themeing section. General thread for a specific device? no wonder im the first to reply...

Two of mine from this week:

The only thing needed were the wallpapers: @KeithSwisher & @Romanbb
If you touch cookie monster's mouth, circle launcher loads 20+ apps.
And the App: Simple Text (get this if you like text icons).
Did not use the app mentioned in the OP... but I prefer this.

Minimalistic Text
I too, think this is an excellent idea and I'm really surprised there hasnt been more responses. Whats up community?
I just purchased a new Xoom 4G upgrade version and I am searching for setups to get some ideas from all you great peeps. If anybody knows of some good sites to check out that would be great...or of course start posting some Minimalistic screens here would be even better.

[APP] [GAME] [1.0] [Android] Football Hangman

Hey guys,
I am pretty new to this forum, so please excuse me if I am posting my writings on the wrong place, but since I saw a few guy with similar posts, I would also like to introduce mine here.
Well, I am app developer and I have already developed a few interesting applications for ANDROID and BLACKBERRY markets.
I would like to introduce you one of my apps and I will appreciate some feedback from your side.
This application is called Football Hangman and it is free to download on Google Playstore.
Here is a short app description, that you can also read in the App-Store:
"You are a soccer fan and want to learn more about football? Well, here is your chance to put your knowledge to the test. Bringing back childhood memories, the good old hangman comes now in a football version. Test your knowledge of football players, stadiums, teams, etc.
In order to increase your scores, you can play "penalty bets" and risk your points to earn even more. Play every day and keep an eye on the statistics from previous days. Challenge yourself and try to guess as much words as possible during the course of the day to improve your personal best."
Please try this game and give me some feedback. You can also look at my other developed applications and try them out. I would appreciate your comments and ideas for better updating and further development.
Thanks a lot!
Here are also some screenshots:

[APP] [5.0] Kairoskopion: a simple, not very informative, Celsius-biased, weather app

Hi all! I'm just doing a copy+paste from this reddit because the dev is not very active hera at XDA. I want to make very clear that I AM NOT the developer, I don't deserve any credit for this app, I'm just sharing since it looks really nice on the N5. Hopefully, as the feedback starts growing, the dev will chip in.
The app is really simple and straightforward but with beautiful material design. The app is FREE and has NO ADS. I hope you enjoy it!
So, I recently decided to make a simple Android app for showing the current weather conditions after my brother had an idea for weather/location-related alerts.
I then decided to add a weekly forecast (well, five-day forecast) to make it more complete, so to speak - and then, after much uproar, unrest and riots in the street of major US cities, I decided to add Fahrenheit degrees. My app remains devoted to Celsius, though, and it's not afraid to state it!
It's Lollipop-only, for the time being. I will keep adding features, as long as it doesn't mess up the app's spartan, simple, poster-like aesthetic. Still to come: widget, more detailed forecasts and tablet optimization. Plus a surprise-y feature.
Here it is:

Free and ad-free. So, how do you make money? DO YOU SELL OUR PRIVATE INFO TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER?
Well, no. I just don't make money. It's just a hobby.
