Best iphone skin

I have seen all these other stupid ones that lack icon crispiness and half modding. I have seen one that you can use the iphone's ipod album scrolling capabilities. I want to know the best combination of mods. I am sure there are some elitist out there lol but i would like to know for me and everyone else.
I know a site that has a perfect look-a-like but I cant post pictures because it uses actual images if you want to know the actual site your gonna have to PM me.
I do have a youtube video of it but ill only give it out via PM/EMail/IM. Not the best video but you can see decent enough.
This isn't something that I will be passing out information on a lot so hit me up asap.
I currently used a T-Mobile MDA (branded HTC Wizard) running WM5.
Hey XoSilenceoX,
Can you hook me up with that iphone skin?
Thanks!

MT3g Fender Music apk

Is it ture the the MT3G Fender has a new music .apk and if so can some one post it up...?
I have the Fender Mytouch coming in the mail. its the first android device i'll have ever used so i dont know how to extract files from it. if its anything like WinMo, im sure i can figure it out, but in case i can't it would be great if someone to give me a quick tutorial.
I want to get everything i can off this new phone and get it up here.
It's nothing like winmo,I had a touch hd and when I changed to magic I bricked it cos I thought it was like win mo. Android will let u flash the wrong thing thus bricking.
Read up like mad and make sure you quadruple check everything! But you will love android!
I downloaded it from one of the devs on twitter... it wont install on any rom i have tried though so it seems useless
could always ask a dev to work theyre magic? they managed to port hero keyboard for us by removing some stuff?
Any news on this?
i wasnt able to firgure out how to do it. if it means anything, though, i dont even use the default music app. its a little slow and kinda bland looking. meridian is better.

HDC Galaxy Note N7000/i9220 Android Dualsim Phone

After some messing about on-line I was intrigued to find this video review of something that "looked" similar to the Galaxy note.
Obviously its not the real thing as you and I are well aware but it prompted me to do some more researching.
After a few nights of checking out the different versions of the "clone" I decided to bite the bullet and buy one to play about with.
Now I don't know much about Android phones and was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice as to exactly what this phone is capable of in terms of using the android marketplace and installing generic android apps.
I am a little unsure of some of the screens. It shows that it has Android Version 4.0.3 - Does that mean it has ICS already installed?
The other thing I was wondering is whether or not there are any custom roms that will do away with some of the China/Far East apps/languages that this thing will be able to run?
I have attached some pics and also the pics that I was sent in .rar files from the supplier..
**I understand that this is not the real deal so anyone who feels like having a nice flaming session then rant away. My questions are genuine in the hope to learn something..
Cheers
It's probably the cheapest hardware around in that. Don't expect any smoothness and it's on the completely opposite end of the phone spectrum from the Note. Doubt there are any custom ROM for it as well, but it probably runs many apps from Play.
I don't know why you would waste money on it, unless you try to look cool by pretending you have a genuine Note. It's a bit like walking around with a fake Rolex.

Yea for sure I know what you're saying. I know someone with a fake rolex. He has had it for many many years. It still even tells the right time
I in no way purchased it to "pretend" to have the real deal. I have an iphone already and this was more something to play around with.
I like the "open source" side to it and with my Linux background and Programming and coding firmware for Satellite TV Receivers It took my fancy as its not locked down as badly as an I-Phone.
I guess from reading a bit more I would have do dump the firmware that is already on the phone and decompile it and figure out how to edit it to my own needs and then re-flash.
Hell, for £130 if it keeps me amused and out of mischief for a few months then its money well spent.
I would rather learn on something that costs a LOAD less. Once I am familiar with the whole system structure, Tools, Terms, Apps, etc etc I will probably buy the real deal.
Take Care..
I was thinking of buying one. Are they good? Where did you buy yours? The white one looks nice.

hi mate, when it arrives I will let you know!
still beats the dell streak lol
not bad for a fake phone imo, anyone who wants a big screen on a budget could use it.
Hey I woudn't mind using this over my (screen-plagued issues) Gnote..
This phone easily beats the features of the real mccoy.
I wonder how would Sammy feel that a run of the mill cheapo phone like this has their branded logo emblazoned on it?
Watching the video mesmerized me on the myriad capabilities this knockoff can offer.
Also great music, it 'tranced' me while watching the phone's features...
Cheers!
Does it run real ICS ?
There are fake Chinese 'iFones' in the market which certainly don't have IOS.
He says in the video it runs Gingerbread which would also explain the GB in the build number.
For 130 pounds I guess it's a pretty decent phone. It has a pretty slow single core CPU and a relatively low resolution for such a big screen but in the end you get what you pay for. I'm sure it's a nice toy to play around with and for a first Android experience you could do a lot worse but since I first used my Note I'll never settle for anything less anymore
Because these types of phones are never meant for international sales I doubt there will be any viable custom roms anytime soon and I think you can forget about official updates but even stock Gingerbread is a very decent OS. You'll miss out on a big part of the 'openness' of Android though.
Once you decide to get the real deal you'll be amazed at what the real Note is actually capable of.
I guess it has 800x480 res which gives you pixels like golf balls with a 5.3" screen. That's so extremely far from the Note hi res experience...

In the movie the guy says "it's got a 5.3 inch 5-point multi-touch screen".
That's another difference from the real Note, only being able to detect a maximum of 5 touch points. The Note detects at least 10. Nothing to be concerned about I think, I've never used more than 3 fingers at the same time.

Ah okay cool cool. I think in the vid he says 5.3 but on his blog, he later corrects it.
Good that you mention about the 5 touch points. I wondered what he was doing when he touched the screen like that.
How and why would you use more then 5 fingers at one time anyway? Still pretty cool that the "real" note can do 10.

Ah okay. I am already mooching about for legit ones and there seems to be a good deal on the Real Note from amazon.de for about £350
I am actually quite looking forward for the fake one to arrive to see what its like. When I spoke to the seller, he said it came with some Legit Sammy software so who knows what that's for..
Looks like it Left Guangzhou on Friday so I expect it to be here sometime before the end of this week.
I think spythedude is aware of the fact this phone doesn't come anywhere near the specifications of the real Note. Everything about the phone screams FAKE!!! But still, for 130 pounds I think it's a pretty decent device given it's large capacitive screen. I can't think of any Android phone getting anywhere near such screen size for 130 pounds. It won't be the fastest phone around but there used to be Android phones with even worse hardware that still gave a good user experience.
@spythedude >> If you want, please let us know what you think of the device when you receive it, I'm really curious about it.

Then I mostly emphasized about Colonel Zap reviewer and Fastcardtech fraud, as this is indeed a real fraud when mixing up Samsung product images during unboxing with this so called clone.

Hi
I didn't mix up any pictures, I'm showing in my video exactly what I received when I ordered it. I have the FEELING (and I don't know this) that the box it came in might actually be an original box but of course it could be a fake as well. The phone definitely is NOT made by Samsung and whatever specs I mention in the video, I did so to the best of my knowledge.
I'm not trying too "fool" anyone, I'm just reporting about a phone, trying to show people how a device like this operates, that's it!

Hi mate, yea for sure. I'll try and do my best to give an accurate feedback and as much info as possible.

I'm not promoting or selling anything. I just make videos of the phones and tablets that I order from China, giving who ever might be interested in these devices "the heads up" what the devices are all about.
I couldn't care less if some likes a particular device or not and/or orders one of them from whatever online store
I've been reviewing phone and tables for years now, some are "fakes", some are not and so far my videos have been very much appreciated by the majority of my viewers
If you don't like my videos, don't watch them. If you don't like the device, don't buy it But please don't accuse me of mixing things up to fool anyone, I've never done that and I never will.

ColonelZap, don't worry buddy. When people sit on a high horse its difficult to see things properly or for what it is.
I appreciate and really enjoy your site for checking things out and I am sure others do too.. You will always get a small percentage of people who like to cry about things they don't agree with or understand.
Take Care
I have been looking into this because my phone is a blackberry and is not really working out for me... so when you get the phone, woud you mind making a video showing how fast is temple run and other such games, also please do a camera video test

Final Fantasy III works VERY well on DS7

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFIII_GP Just wanted to report in that yea, its 16$ but its worth it. Using Honeycomb Streak, plays VERY well, solid on screen touch controls, even zoom in and out support. Also the bigger perk is the "anywhere analog stick"
Hrm just checked Google Play today and now it wants to say FF3 isnt doable with the DS7? Anyone else seen that or seen issues we dont know about? Kinda odd to be supported, installed, now it claiming its not supported?
Are you still on R8 like your sig states? It seems to be installable on ICS-B4, but I dont actually own it so I cant say how well it actually works.
Yes I am on R8, which when the game 1st launched, I bought it from my DS7, installed, it, played it. So not sure why they are trying to say its not installable now. So Thought I would come here and see if anyone heard anything.

you could always side load it, would save the hassles of trying to sort out what is/isnt working correctly with it
Side load it? Granted.. now that I have my Galaxy S3.. gonna be hard to talk myself into playing it on my tablet hehe.. Tho the tablet with that large screen.. very nice when I did play it!

adb install <app name>.apk
its as simple as that if you have the apk in the same dir' as adb
Oh manually. lol. I always just used push and pull back then. =) I still have it all installed anyways. I just thought Id ask in here since 1st it was up here, then it was stopped. Saw one post somewhere saying that it talks about on tablets (not just DS7) that 3 hours into it, it would crash out and not go past that point. Now not sure if thats based on stock roms, 2.3 or 3.0 based, or whatever.

Emojis

Just got my new phone and I love it. One thing I noticed that I didn't know would be there was the incorporation of the android emojis. Such as when I'm looking down my twitter feed or something. Personally I'd almost rather see the little boxes or just a blank, I really don't like the way they look. Just wondered what anyone else's thoughts were or if someone knew of a way to get rid of them.
