has anyone here seen the google uk logo? the one that is composed of multicolored balls that can be disturbed or agitated by the mouse.
google.co.uk
it could be a nice live wallpaper.
-multicolored balls filling up a black screen or a color customizable background
-balls wiggles in place
-can be agitated by touch
-optional:
colors of balls that will appear can be customized
interval for color changing can be adjusted
Saw that earlier awesome isn't it
it would make good a live wallpaper...
and to clear things up it's not only on google UK.
+1 to this. Imagine even if it was simply the word "Google" as we're using Android phones I think that would be quite fitting.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
hoping someone could do this.
The Google logo is back to normal now, I think I could take a stab at this as I am learning Java and my demo paper (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=133197) is relatively similar. Anyone know where to see the Google logo again, I never saw it the other day when it was out, just heard about it.
Just did some thinking and did a proof of concept for myself, made a single dot that reacts to touch... should be easy to make lots of dots do the same and do other things.
here's one from youtube.

Hi.
I'm modeling 3d Android for one website, so I'll like to share with you my current progress; this is not finished model: I have to change hands (I don't like them as they are now), make legs, and add some more details. I have just posed what I have till now in to some quick pose and make quick render, to better see how it looks, and what to change.
I the end, this will be animated character and it will be used for banners, logo, icons, animated intro for videos, and some wallpapers and maybe even for theme for mobile phones.

I'm modeling this in 3d studio max.
And here is one more small update; I have remodeled hands, so that now I have more wide range of movement with them.
Awesome work, the first face looks better in my opinion, but the second is more original.
I also prefer the darker face. There is more contrast and makes the eyes stand out more. Also looks happier. Good details there. It is very difficult to make "green skin" look good at best of times!
Tnx guys for comments.
Face is still something I haven't decide yet what to do about it; I'll have to make some tests with expressions to see what will work best.
Now, I have to make legs; i'm thinking about making them somewhat similar to hands, but I'll put wheels on them (they will be mostly hidden; there will be a gap like for hands, where wheel will come out), so that he will basically role around; i thing that he will look cooler that way.

I just saw the iOS 7 video, and I thought the parallax thing was pretty awesome. you guys think that this could happen with the android? or is there some hardware limitation?
and wow, other than the icon, I think the systems looks really aesthetic for the new iPhone. I'm sticking with my HTC One for another 2 years though

Hi all,
I'm coming from and SGSII and I'm in the process of trying to setup my One how I like it. There's a few things troubling me though.
-The blacks of the screen don't seem especially black and it seems there's no way to adjust the contrast. The whole screen seems a bit flat/grey
-The menus are black text on white, I much prefer the white on black of the SII
-The scroll 'brakes' too quickly as your finger comes off the screen, it's like sliding something on sandpaper as opposed to ice. There's no 'mega scroll' flick
-I've had to download a task manager killer but I cannot end google+, gmail and googlemaps. I don't want them.
-The icons on my SII are a lot better
-I'd like the notification bar to be black
-On the SII I have gps switched off but weather apps still work, with the HTC gps has to be on.
-I'm going to have to root this phone to get adfree aren't?
I'm using nova launcher so a lot of things are similar but those things above are really bugging me. I've googled all of them and had no luck so let me know if I'm missing anything.
Thanks.
I didn't read your whole post but to get white text on black you are going to have to go with an inverted Rom, like d3rp or 42One I am sure there are others but those two come to mind.

Thanks, I might hold off on rooting for a while.
The main thing I wanted to check was that I wasn't missing an obvious settings and that the screen was working properly, it's VERY flat and grey compared to my SII.
Overall it's doing a good job but the screen is going to have to take some getting used to.

-The blacks of the screen don't seem especially black and it seems there's no way to adjust the contrast. The whole screen seems a bit flat/grey
This is the difference between AMOLED and LCD. The contrast on the One is pretty much the best available on a phone LCD, but it is still an LCD, and cannot match the black levels of AMOLED.
-The menus are black text on white, I much prefer the white on black of the SII
The menus on the SII are white on black because white is a very expensive color to display, battery-wise, on an AMOLED screen. Inverted roms, or themes, will fix this for you.
-The scroll 'brakes' too quickly as your finger comes off the screen, it's like sliding something on sandpaper as opposed to ice. There's no 'mega scroll' flick
Depends on the app you're using. If you're speaking about within Sense (settings, app drawer, etc) then yeah I guess, but I'm not sure why you would need the long scrolling in such short lists.
-I've had to download a task manager killer but I cannot end google+, gmail and googlemaps. I don't want them.
Uninstall/disable them via settings>apps or kill them with an app.
-The icons on my SII are a lot better
rofl
-I'd like the notification bar to be black
Theme
-On the SII I have gps switched off but weather apps still work, with the HTC gps has to be on.
-I'm going to have to root this phone to get adfree aren't?
You had to root your S2 to get that too.

Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated. Much as I feared the about the screen. It's a shame, I do really like OLED. Those are the two big things now, the screen and lack of centre button. It's stupid because most apps now have a black bar at the bottom which takes up about 10% of the screen for the 'options' button. A button would be much better. If it had those two things it would be the perfect phone in my eyes.
Makes sense about the menus, I checked out the 42One rom and it looks pretty good. I spent yesterday getting everything set up so I'm going to wait to root and flash.
The scroll/flick behaviour is a bit different but some lists do have a 'mega-scroll' so that was me I guess, I'd still prefer it if it was a bit looser.
I found the only option was to disable certain apps, I guess I won't be able to get into removing stuff until I root the phone.
Maybe I should have said i don't like the stock icons, I still prefer the SII one but have since downloaded some icon packs so we're all good there.
On my journeys I saw someone had written a little program to guide you through rooting your phone so I'll have to find that again. I'd also like to backup my stock setup in case of warranty issues further down the line.
Thanks again.

You can use the HTC Logo as menu button. But you'd need a custom kernel that supports that.
AMOLED displays are usually very over saturated compared to IPS LCD displays. But IPS will give you a more accurate color and truer whites and blacks.

The HTC logo doesn't have a capacitive sensor, the "logo button" feature actually uses the first row of pixels immediately above the logo as a button.
Not trying to attack anyone here, just want to make sure that the information is explained a bit more.

Yep, it's the tradeoff you made when you picked LCD.
If its any consolation, displaying white on your S2 actually caused the display consumption to go up drastically (sometimes double the power required) while on LCD the screen uses a much more consistent amount of power. The whites on your One -should- appear as truer whites, while yes, the black will be more washed out.

Useful to know, thanks!
Thanks for the input, being brand new to HTC I'm still learning what's available.
Ideally I like Nova so I'd like to keep that. I'd like the general menus to be white text on black BG, I can clean things out with Titanium and stop ads with adfree.
From what I can tell I'm going to need to root the phone and then install a rom.
Are there 'pre-optimized' roms? Are there any Roms which are basically stock except for the colour flip? Can I get 4.3 in there as well? That middle button would be great too. My SII came with swype, I miss that.
I've found instructions on rooting but a little unsure which rom to go for, konfuzion's suggestion of 42One looks ok but I don't know what's out there, supported and up to date.
If you have any more thoughts they're always welcome
I'm gonna need some help on this guys.
I'm in the UK on the EE network, can I download any rom or do I need a specific 'EE' one?
Do I need a rom if I just want superuser privileges and a reversed/inverted menu? (also be able to install titanium backup and adfree)
I think I can handle the rest of it.
Thanks.
Well you most likely have a gsm one so you wouldn't want to flash anything in the sprint one section. And seeing as your gsm i believe there are a few roms over there that are 4.3

Are you comfortable in your own skin? Is your phone comfortable in its skin? Rate this thread to express how you deem the skin on the LG V20. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it adds just the right amount of features, it's visually pleasing, and overall it's additive to the experience. If this is a Nexus phone (you didn't think we hand-wrote all of these prompts, did you?) then use this rating to indicate how the latest version of Android looks to you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I love LGs take on Android. I see some room for improvement but I'd rate it 7 out of 10.
I moved from a rooted G3 and immediately missed the Google Now launcher, so I threw that on. I should probably give LGs skin a shot before I change over completely.
I didn't much care for the LG skin. Then again, I was stymied by the lack of an app drawer which I now know is a setting adjustment away. I'm using the Pixel launcher now. I'm more comfortable with that having been a Google Now launcher user.

How do you like the Pixel Launcher? I had to go with Google Now launcher (coming from a N-6P). Wanting to try something else though...
I give an 8/10 to the themes. I Wish they have done at least about 200+ themes before actually adding that to the setting. Then again,,,, it is better than nothing. Think about it as a CM theme store but very limited (probably "yet") maybe after a couple of weeks they allow others to create new themes, or they themselves do a couple of 100+ more

I miss the cards page. You can get it by tapping the "G" twice. Accessing the app drawer means tapping a carat near the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, it's the same as Google Now.
I'm intrigued by the Google Assistant available on the Pixel. I trying to cobble together bits and pieces of it. If we can get root and access to build.prop, we can get most of that feature.

So I actually have the cards page on my V20. I just went with the Google Now launcher. And in terms of the assistant, I downloaded ALLO & it has G Assistant built in now. Or at least a "preview version" of it. It is pretty awesome too!!!
(I realize that taking a clip of the cards page doesn't show that it is an actual page of my "home screens" but it is all the way to the left like it is on Google Android N.)

3 themes!?!?!?!? Cmon man.
Ok, on the stock launcher is there anyway to change the grid size? Its an option to change it in the "regular" home but not the "home and app drawer"
Just got my V20 and I'm trying to give it a review.. Definitely a step up from the G4 G5 and V10.. Probably the best they've done.. The user interface is no longer cartoonish and has a much more sophisticated look to it.. The phone itself feels sturdy but still sleek. It went through 60,000 qc tests and it was also given a high military grade for strength.. They moved the volume buttons back to the side and I'm having a lot of trouble adjusting. The rear button design was perfect and genus.. They took away a couple of apps I really preferred, but they're take on what Google is wanting these manufacturers to start putting out, is awesome. It's the closest they've come to perfecting a blend of Lg originality with Google's streamlined material design. So far I'm very impressed. The Quad Dac damn near blows my speakers out in my Mercedes which has a Harmon Kardon surround system. Think about that, a phone blowing out a top of the line surround system.. Crazy to think how far we've come since Nokia. The camera I'll play with as the days come, but the only thing I don't like about the ui is it could use a tad bit more color and the notification menu could use a little contrast for separating cards.. Also where did smart notice and their stock calculator go. The LG calculator had an option to review history which I used frequently. Overall I'm pretty pleased having had every flagship of theirs excluding the G5..
New to LG. My first phone with lg is this v20.
The OEM skin needs a lot of work. I'm getting used to it.
I was going to slap on Nova but I'm sticking out. Thus far not bad.
Options for app drawer are in setting (initially I was not too thrilled with no app drawer and having apps on the main screen, that is apple boring)
There's no posting for DAC. But I'm very impressed. The earlier poster mentioned how the Mercedes speaks got blown, I have to check it out on my car stereo, I'm still using BT.
Over all loving the functioning of the phone.
Coming from note series, I do miss the stylus.
OEM has a screen shot app I just wish it was more versatile like the note 4 series stylus with cropping and drawing and sharing. With the OEM screen shot it seems there's multiple steps in getting the shot then cropping and then writing on it and then sharing it. Maybe I'll have up get use to the steps.

if you were looking for more themes and customization, just use the lg smart world app. should be able to download it on your phone via the browser.

I thought it was awful, too. Then I found the Capture+. It's great. Works very, very well. It's in the pull down, or can be added to the home buttons or second screen in display options. Play with it for a few minutes
No bad ****er
I've always preferred Stock UI over OEM Skins, especially Touch Wizz or Sense UI, and i would never get a chinese phone such as Huawei or XiaoMi just for their Chinese iOS looking version of Android they design... So i'm pretty much happy with LG UI, installed Nova Launcher to get a more "next to stock" experience. Love the theme engine and Bencze Themes, theming is much more complete than Xperia's themes for instance.
