[Q] The first thing I did when I got my ET4G was... - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

...install launcher pro and not look back.

I've got it downloaded and almost ready o switch, but I wanted to at least give cheezwhiz a chance first. Not loving it, but the phone is awesome.

I have never seen it run smoother in my life. Holy crap.
To be fair Touchwiz is, well, cheezy as hell...but...I like it more than Sense, which I also hate. It's more stock-like than sense and nowhere near as fat....too ugly looking though.

I like Touchwiz (I'm also a big fan of MIUI). Even if it's a rip-off of iPhone, it's still Android we all love.

I have everything set up to my standards and am just trying out touchwiz. The folders help now. I just hope we get the ability to do a little more. I am just letting it charge now.

Yeah it was, I sold that damn phone within the first month of owning it, ended up buying the EVO 4G, what an upgrade lol.

Look for a way to get into a developer group so we can get this thing rooted and make it usable. I'm way to use to having a rooted device.

i know touchwiz 4.0 or at least i think i do, is hardware accelerated so i think if you install a third party launcher you lose some of it.

Perhaps LP uses those same hooks (I though it was all UI elements via the existing UI API). Launcher pro is so smooth that I don't even care if it isn't accelerated (which I think it is).

Popped in my 16GB SD card, installed ADW Pro Launcher and Handcent. This phone is crazy fast.

Came from an Epic 4g, and this is my first all touch phone. I'll say with the giant screen size, my sausage fingers do quite well and rarely make a mistake. First thing I did though was pop in a 16gb card I had floating around, reinstall most of my apps, and then set it up how I wanted it. I actually don't mind Touchwiz 4.0 at all.

Anyone have the iPhone 4 4.2 ring tones ?

I really like the sound of a few of the notifications in the 4.2 OS for the iPhone4. Here is a video clip of the new sounds. I really dig the "Choo Choo" sound, would be cool for texts;

Oh yeah, this should definitely be in the development section. I can clearly see how this thread contains very technical information relevant to promoting development on the EVO. Great post!

It actually looks good and besides, the keys can be easily handled by a dev. Hopefully Samsung is quick to release the GS3 earlier than they released the GS2.
By the time I am ready to upgrade my phone again (mid 2013), hopefully, there will be a galaxy s4.

How are those "leaked images" if they were generated by user on a Russian concept phone site?
Too. Much. Bezel.
Beat Apple to it, you know the iPhone5 is going to have ulta-minimal bezel.
I know it's an unofficial concept image, but, it's likely right on--roughly speaking. It's time for these companies to stop just achieving design parity with Apple and actually surpassing them. They have an entire fncking year to do it every. single. time. Our specs slaughter the iPhone, constantly...for years now. Time to leapfrog in the physical design department.
Thinner, the least bezel possible, moar screen, moar battery. Get on it Samsung.

A nexus oath?

I was recently chatting with one of our mods and this is what he had to say:
Owning a nexus is a responsibility. Once you own a Nexus, you own the right to speak for the Android ecosystem as a whole. It all becomes as you put it because you are the high priest of a sacred religion, the source.
It is from this that your prime responsibility emerges as well- you have to help every android user if you know you can, even if you don't want to. Whether they think that their phone is better and cooler or not, whether you look like a friendless and deprived idiot or a desperate nerd.
I know this sounds silly philosophical to you, alluding to a very "brotherhood" vicinity as far as concepts go, but what matters is the result we get from such a mindset- something more open, something more google, forward and responsive, something that iOS kidos cant even think in the lines of.
It is the reason I am ensuring that nexus discussions are sincere, friendly and constructive and everyone trying to derail this process is going to find a tough time.
Its also the reason I am talking to BigG to make nexus devices always niche, so that every nexus owner feels a sense of purpose to the eco system, silently knowing he has what matters most in the android ecosystem

Further in the conversation he went forth outlining how Google can achieve this, compact version of which is:
1. FULL play store access (not restricted by country or device)
2. Closer relationship with google devs
3. Working with manufacturers to get flashable ported versions of their UX leaving a nexus user with more options than others
4. World phone as a standard
5. Permanent discounts on most play content
Do you agree? What are your thoughts?

Chameleon Launcher 2 on N4

Being a KS backer for the Chameleon, they released the Chameleon Launcher 2, which can also be used on phones. I have been playing with it for a day and so far so good. I actually like it better for the phone than my N7. I'm all for custom stuff, but this launcher is pretty clean and IMO works pretty well for a simple layout design.

I want to give it a try but Im not a backer, so we'll have to wait at least a couple of weeks so they can release to everyone else. Sad.
I took a look on the tablet launcher and found it interesting, don't know about phone version yet.
It would be great if you release a trial or demo version, it is going to be a paid app.

Really? I don't find the slowness. That would be my first gripe, but I can really say it aint slow! lol Compared to other launchers, its on par IMO.
Can you elaborate on deeply flawed as well? Bugs, yes, it's a bit buggy, but it's still beta-ish.
Is it great? I say no because it doesn't give you the ultimate flexibility like Nova Prime or Apex and Go Launcher does, but that's the great thing about this environment. It's all about choice.
You ask me right now do I use it as a daily driver? No I use Nova with a bunch of UCCW widgets running on the launcher. It's fully custom to my taste and I find it hard pressed to go away with it because of the amount of time it took me to have it look and work a certain way.
Bottom line, this is a good starter launcher and I have to really say it isn't slow for me. Can you describe the slowness?

Can you specify which bugs you're referring to or what exactly makes it "deeply flawed?"
If it doesn't provide features that you would prefer, that's one thing, but to call it buggy and flawed feels disingenuous at best.

In vicino we trust!
I backed Chameleon on KS when I had an Asus Infinity tablet. It looked kind of cool and I really wanted to try it. It was far buggier then than this new version that works on my Nexus 4. I didn't end up using it much on my tablet, but I have been using it for a couple of days on my phone. It's not perfect, but it does work pretty well. The thing I like most about it? It's DIFFERENT!

I think he's talking about the first version, which I agree with him whole heartedly that it just sucks lol. But like the other member said, CL2 works a bit better on the phone. I can attest. Is it buggy, yes, but it's waaay better than the tablet version V was talking about and linked to.

But it is relevant to the newer version are they gonna release a buggy launcher, fix a few of the many bugs then nothing for 6 months? I am certainly not going to pay for an app whose developer has that history.

Google now.

Google now is pretty straight foward and its actually my first time using it and I'm already liking it. What can I expect as time goes on from it?
You can expect it to start learning from you. For example, after a while it can give you traffic data to home right before you leave work/school on a consistent schedule

Yep and if you check in at your fav burger joint or strip club :cyclops:, GN can tell you the traffic, if any to get to that destination. Also you can also get your fav sports team scores, local stuff happening in your area, even notifying you when a package was sent. I love the integration of google keep as well. Awesomsauce all around IMO.
You can expect to get traffic and weather notifications for every single place you Google, sometimes weeks later. But nothing for important meetings on your calendar unto 45 too late.

I have keep as well. How does it integrate itself with keep?
I think Google Now is the only thing keeping me on Android. It's just become TOO useful when I was doing things like checking Maps on my desktop and finding that a card would be added to my Now list, giving directions and ETA if I were to leave right away.
I'm definitely enjoying the way it's implemented, and it's become a tool I can't imagine using a smartphone without anymore.
I have a card for the Yankees, but it hasn't appeared yet. There is a game on right now and I can search it but it doesn't show the card yet. When should I expect it to pop up

Give me another app/feature that only Android has over say... a jailbroken iOS device that can't/isn't being replicated.

You may want to check out the themes section on ModMyI. It's a good effort though, almost worthy of a slow clap.

I can hit the GN say google....note to self......then puts it as a voice note that I can delete if I want and just keep the text. Awesome there IMO.

It takes time. Do a GN search and say Yankee's score. And it should pull up the current game if its happening when you ask it. I just did and damn, the sox are spanked the Yanks 8/2. Owie.

Tasker, sl4a... depends how geeky you want to be. With sl4a people have controlled robots and stuff. Tasker has a little learning curve and it's limited only by imagination. There are several other automaton apps out there but Tasker is regarded as the most robust. You can even create standalone apps from within Tasker to sell on the play store if you were so motivated.
GN sucks.

I personally think Google Now is awesome. I find it awesome how it pulls up the game scores of my favorite basketball teams and articles it knows I am interested in.
Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Thats okay. I was mad at first but...they're making Apple forcefully be a step behind and users will see that. Give them 4.1 features while we blow their asses out into 5.0 Andoid OS features. We'll always be one step ahead of them now. :good:
