[Off-Topic] What Linux Distros are you using? - Off-topic

Personally I am using ElementaryOS Freya right now (built it myself) and was looking for other things to use. the only issue is that i need to make sure that it doesn't have weird performance issues during compiling. I enjoy eOS' nice modern (OS X-inspired) UI
Best way of finding out other options is finding out what other users and devs are running!

Here you go:
Share your [Linux] Screens!
Title says screens, OP asks for people to also share the distro :good:

New user interface for Android - what do you want!?

Hi guys,
I was thinking the other day about the upcoming Sony-Ericsson Xperia X10, and how cool and different the interface was. This got me thinking.... why couldn't the OSS community produce something like this!
It seems that there are many different and innovative UI's available - XBox360 NXE, PS3, OSX iPhone etc. They all have merits and downsides, but each gives a unique experience.
Given all this, couldn't we come up with a new-age UI for Android, instead of the plan same-old one we have on AOSP now. Somthing which has animation, effects, sexyness etc
This post is to try and see what people would like to see in "Android 3.0", which obviously doesn't exist yet, but I think you get the picture.
well I can think of alot of ideas..but one to start off would be : complete customizeability i.e. customizations on the go such as editing of separate widget elements/colors etc...layout edits/saves/export-imports...different looks/UI styles not just one core style with customizations....

Sense UI

Being a fan of the interface style of ccyrowski's Interface on his rom and it appears discontinued i wondered if any of the devs had any intention or would consider continuing the manilla style interface of the rom on theirs if not would also be interested if i could find an apk with the UI setup. Cant knock the message and email setup on it as well as the near seemless intigration of facebook. appreciate any replies i can get in advance and if this is in the wrong section i apologize ahead of time. Figured best place as would prefer a rom with it built in over the apk and havent got the hang of cooking android roms yet, lot trickier then Winmo lol.

are you asking for an apk that installs the sense UI? that is not going to happen... sense UI is like blur and such. its a specialized type of "overlay" for android. think of it as the rims and tires to a vehicle. it just adds to things. for the NEW sense UI check out eugene373 espresso rom. its the newest out and stable enough for you to at least try.

[Q] Is it possible to install ios or ios function to vogue?

Hi guys..today I saw very exciting video looks like below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jr1A8h7OVA
Some people say that it is ios, but others think it is a another theme.
They say it is miui rom (refer http://www.miui.com)
miui rom is chinease rom until now(they don't have any plan to other language),
so I don't understand it.
However, when I see the video, it is very fast and has good function like ios
whether it is ios or not.
So, I want to know is it possible to install ios to htc vogue?
If it is possible, I really hope to see it. But, although it is not possible, is it
possible to execute same function ( moving and deleting icon like ios : shaking ^^)?
If someone know this, please let me know it.
Thanks and sorry for my poor english.
Nope!
Android can only be ported to the vogue, because it is opensource and Ios is a lot of things but NOT opensource. We would have seen a port of WebOS even sooner, because it is also linux based than Ios, but WebOS also isn't opensource so....
Maybe??
Okay I doubt any of us Dev's would even think about porting Ios to the Vogue and no one that I know of has every gotten IOs to run on any device but an apple device. It is definetly MIUI.
I will take a look at possibly porting MIUI or a simplified version of it to the Vogue/Kaiser/Polaris.
you wont see a miui rom for vogue either, since its all compiled for arm v7 processors which isnt what we have (hero is in the same boat)
I am creating an MIUI theme from modded launchers and a miui icon pack and a bunch of resized apks from the hero forum
Thank you so much and I am look forward to see it

Wow!! That' s great.. I hope to see it. Cheers!!
It is a chinese version android system based on original Android 2.2
It seems that it doesn't support Vogue now.
The MIUI .apks decompile nicely with apkmanager, then they need to be edited for the vogue/kaiser/polaris screen and recompiled for arm v4 (is it v4 or v5?)

PrecisionTech's New Project

Hi Im not that big in the Android community yet but I just wanted to tell you guys I am working on a Launcher for Windows 8 with built in windows 8 style applications and layout. For all you non-tablet users I highly suggest sticking with your oun launcher because this is desgined for tabs. If you want anything in this let me know and post a list. Also anyone who wants me to add their tiles I will gladly do so for I am running out. I will be posting screenshots as I build it too. Thanks!
Heres the one screenshot I got really fast that I took with my phone. Ill get a better one up later tonight possably. I would also appreciate people leaving suggestions and items for me to put in it.
There is also a theme version of this im making for ADW Launcher. Comment if you want me to make one for your launcher. I am also going to release some more photos latter of my progress. If theres anything you want me to add or change just leave a comment, they are much appreciated thanks!
This looks great! ,
If only you made one for phones...
If I get more requests for a phone version I can scale it down and change the layouts a bit and make it for smaller screens. Im posting more screenshots of the tablet version tonight.

Nice ROM, Thank you so much Hope you complete v1.2 as soon as with more improvements
can we expect a equivalent samsung focus ROM ?
Really nice. I'll wait some feedbacks and more languages included

I would like to say yes, but i haven't got the focus and so far wp7 has proved to be very picky about what we can change in the rom, therefore making very difficult to test, never the less i will do some research about it.
as for other request, the plan is to also release a build with other languages one we get them
Regards
faria.
nice work faria , cool to see some more Tango rom's here.
let us make all happy
Sorry, but I refuse to use these ROMs with butt-ugly themes pre-installed. You don't mix the flat nature of Metro with these silly glassy backdrops. I'd suggest you keep the look default and emphasise the ability to use custom themes.

Here's the thing - what kind of value do you think you are adding to the device by skinning it? You're providing an uglier, fragmented UI - things that Android OEMs are hated for.
Didn't mean to offend you personally, but all these custom ROMs I'm checking out are stuffed with bloat. If you go back to the roots with Windows Mobile or Android, custom ROMs are to get rid of the clutter. I don't see why Windows Phone tweakers think they should do the opposite.

Thanks for the feedback, the idea is to have a black backdrops but so far I had no success I changing the font color.
In the same note, I refuse to to wear pink trousers! Just because my wife likes it I m not forced to wear them. I will explain reasons behind the theme later on.Have a nice day.

Here is the reason behind the theme…..
The theme is part of a bigger project to customize all the icons in the rom , this will look great with a black backdrop/accents and will gives us better battery due to the nature of the screen.
As you may know , or not, using the same theme colour and accents renders the highlighted letters invisible, so we need to change the color of the font,so far we have been unableto do so plus at the moment if you try to cook a custom theme into the rom it simply breaks the unsigned apps unlock rendering unsigned apps useless .

Whats the point then? Lets just use the carrier rom!What do you expect? Different oems different skins etc,if it really bother people they should get an iphone.
Really… let not confuse things here, this is one device alone, neither m I using a different framework for the theme, this is not Htc sense VS Touchwiz, So In theory you can flash any update into my rom provided its is the same version without breaking anything.
In windows mobile chefs integrated apps to save space but users could not remove them,but guess what pretty much every app in my rom can be uninstalled by the user plus we don’t have limited space on our devices as windows mobile devices did.
All we are doing is trying to better our devices but its is early days, and we just started scratching the surface and I for one had enough of flat metro theme after a year stuck with it.
In the end the choice is yours.
Regards
Faria
I will personally deal with all the people who FORCE others to use their ROM
But if it's free to use and free NOT to use, I really can't see what's wrong then
Keep up the good work people, the things are cooking up for Omnia7 these days and it's nice to see it.

Custom ROMs allow for tweaks not possible with a carrier ROM - examples being a higher number of apps shown in the task switcher, and a full unlock. I think it's very hard to say that either of those tweaks will be bad for a user of a custom ROM. The same cannot be said about skinning Windows Phone. Also, Windows Mobile wasn't purely about saving space, it was about optimising the ROM to run better and nicer.
If you'll take any advice from me, remember this: you are never going to get away from Metro on Windows Phone. The apps you use will have it. There will be underlying bits of UI which you will be unable to skin. I will guarantee that you will end up creating something that is neither beautiful in the way Sense or iOS can be, nor industrial like Metro.
If you read reviews of Android devices, you'll see that often the manufacturer skins that OEMs provide do offer extended functionality that can be useful. However, the UI changes and custom launchers are almost universally received poorly. Ever wondered why Microsoft isn't allowing any manufacturers to skin the UI? Hint: it's not just them being control freaks.

I like a lot of things about the ROM. I'm not going to get angry if Faria doesn't keep things stock, I simply won't use it as you say. However, I think the concept of providing a semi-skinned ROM is a bad move by default. In fact, trying to skin Metro at all is a sign that you don't understand good design and UI. I don't mean to offend Faria or anyone else, but you'll never get your skin to fully extend into third-party apps and other experiences. Hence, you will always be fragmenting the interface by trying to introduce your own skin.
Sorry if I've offended anyone here, but good design is something that Microsoft has lacked for a long time. I feel like Metro is their break.

Regardless, I wish you the best in your endeavour. It's ambitious, I'll give you that. I can see how your skin will be nice if it's fully implemented, most of my uncalled-for bashing was related to the co-existence of conflicting design languages - either is fine by itself, but when combined they don't work.
I'm worried that you're going to run into heaps of restrictions (ie. how the start screen background is a solid colour). If you somehow get this thing working, hats off to you!
Fix Omnia 7 Bluetooth issue?
My Omnia 7 currently gets stuck at searching for bluetooth devices, does this rom solve this?
This is, IMHO, the best Omnia 7 Tango ROM out there.
Everything works and looks great. Battery life is fantastic too. A lot better than the Mi7ROM which is currently doing the rounds.
Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward to the next version (if there is one).
This one's a keeper!!!!

This is an unqualified comment, because mi7ROM isn´t "doing the rounds" here. mirolg was one of the first cookers after DFT has released the first custom rom. Also he was the first who cooked in the HTC drivers.
How this rom could be "a lot better" than other roms ? All available roms are only dumped. With all respect but the cookers are only replacing packages or adding packages from different builds or other custom roms...
Next time remember your thanksmeter before you post unqualified comments.
Thanks.
