Tilt: Removing AT&T Logo

Has anyone try to remove the ugly AY&T Logo from Tilt? I want to see if it can just be scraped off without leaving a mark. I am not brave enough to try yet. Thought I would give it a try here.
Thanks.

Sugar cubes. Works wonders. I've used them on an Apache.

Re: Removing AT&T Logo
I've seen cheap skin packages for $3-$5 US for 8925 on E-bay that will cover the AT&T logo.

I too am wondering about this. The thought I had was if the sugar would damage the dark patina on the metal.
anyone do this yet?
as ay&t is not sending me checks to rep there logo I would like it off my phone lol

I'm also interested in this. Let me know if you guys get it off.

Can you explain more?
TIA

Supposedly you can remove the logo by moving a sugar cube back and forth across it. The sugar is supposed to be hard enough to remove it but soft enough to not scratch the metal.

We are talking about the logo that is physically on the top of the Tilt.

I never tried this, so I don't know if it works...
but shouldn't nail polish remover do the job? if not similar chemical products strong enough to wipe the paint but not strong enough to corrode the metal.

What did you think they were talking about sugar cubes for?

I tried alcohol and lacquer thinner just now...didn't cut it or damage anything.

yea this is the logo that is printed on the top of the device. I see the other write up BUT has anyone ACTUALLY done this?
I am concerned about scratching the dark patina over the metal.
...so how do I get this advertising of my otherwise good lookin' phone!
THANKS

Just buy a new front faceplate. They're cheap enough and you can be sure this one will look good without ruining your current one.
This site has them for $13:

You will probably never get a perfect fit with these. Its a good idea, but it will never look as good as the pics on the site. Just buy one of those tight fitting cases in different colors.

I have tried these with other phones before, the thing is they look nice when new but it only takes 1-2 months before the colors fade away and the corners to peel off. imho they are not worth 15-20$.

i've used decalgirl skin's vinyl for my PS3.. perfect fit n easy application/re-application. no fading till date(its abt 2 years old) but as phone will be kept on its back n keep rubbing the pouch while inserting taking out of it.. the fading might occur.

Love the work so far. I was just wondering would it be possible to create them with custom colors. Like calendar with a blue bg instead of red?

My psds won't teach you much I'm afraid.
Theres not much to making a glassy / glossy effect, you just draw over the item you want it done to with a circular shape (easiest to work with). Apply brightness, white to transparent gradient. Just think about where the light is, keep having a go on photoshop

Gracias, por el aporte
Thanks for the input

Yeah I got the one rar with the psds just noticed now actually as I am sitting down to work on them. I think thats great you would do that. Changing those colors is as easy as just messing with the hue/saturation. I already have a few of them done. If anyone else wants custom colors I would be willing to do help out.

So here is one I found missing. An icon for email. I used the files PSD and found an envelope online hope you all enjoy it. This is using the Thick Glass PSD.

Newest photo's Nexus 4 spot in The Netherlands

Hi guys,
I thought you would find this interesting. There are 4 new photo's spotted by someone who shot them in a Media Markt/Saturn somewhere in The Netherlands. I found this on a Dutch site called Androidworld. Here are the photo's:

As you can see, this lucky guy managed to get and use the Nexus already. Discuss!

Probably a store manager who demo'ed it to some employees. There are additional apps, which shows at least a decent amount of time with the device. Perhaps someone carrying it around as a teaching tool?
I'm hoping it's there already though. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to go there (Heerhugowaard) and snoop around with some of the more knowledgeable-looking employees.

On my monitor it doesn't look that black, compared to the bezel. The Gnex in that sort of lighting would appear ink black.

I've heard this is the best screen for smartphones ever (on the optimus G, I guess its the same one..). So it should be amazing on blacks, whites, and everything in the middle. Oh, and super bright too!

Damn, it does indeed look like an AMOLED in terms of contrast!

Check out this table and see for yourself. It's definitely not capable of showing true black, but that was to be expected. The Nex4 does indeed sport the same screen as the [scratch Gnex, stupid me] Optimus G.
Edit: ^

Remember though, LCD screens will be blacker in light areas, but in a dark room it will show that off black we see, more like grey.

On the second photo, there's a folder named 'LG' on the homescreen. That's not bloatware is it??

Is that a typo? Surely the Nex4 is nothing like the Gnex. I, for one, will glad to see something similar to the One X, which many declare has the best screen of any smartphone.

So i've got some black and some red carbon fiber if anyone is interested.

I'm definitely in if the price is right

ooohhh drool. I am interested too:fingers-crossed:

The carbon fiber works great!
And fits under a spigen ultra hybrid too! It just takes some jimmying to keep the side pieces from being pushed off buy the case...
Here's a link to an album with more shots and angles if you're curious.

How much do you think is fair for a custom wrap?
Please let me know if there's interest for these, and I'll go through the work of setting up an Etsy or Ebay listing.

15 would be fair. As long as they last a while and have a standard warranty

I could probably ship to Germany, I'm not sure how much more it would cost, but I wouldn't be opposed...

is that bomb cut out of the wrap? as in its a separate piece? if so whats the chance of getting a black carbon wrap with the bomb cut out of red carbon....

It is cut out, but out of the same piece, and the whole back is removed at once from the paper backing, with masking tape keeping the designs lined up.
...that doesn't seem impossible, but it will take some extra detail work to get it aligned properly, and more materials.

that could be interesting. i will definitely keep it in mind. I have a plain black carbon from another company right now and am getting bored with it. I might hit you up in a week or two.

Cool man. If I get around to it, I might do a test run, and I'll post pictures if I do!

Anonymous mask?
I was thinking this cut-out would look cool. Not sure on what sort of texture it would look best though!?
I just googled around, can't post links annoyingly, but if you go to qvectors DOT net SLASH vendeta-mask-vector there is a vector example.
I am thinking of trying to get some splash screens, boot animations and backgrounds too, would go well on a completely stripped down ROM with XPrivacy and AFWall+ installed.

That would look cool. Unless you have a clear back case, I'd probably do it negative. The white parts would be in red, with a thin border around it for the outline. That way there wouldn't be lots of small pieces to get lifted off by routine handling..

Can you like make just like faces symbol? Like just iron man face or transformers face only.? It's cuz I like the silver/metallic.

Good point, awesome idea. I'm going to try and put the phone in the clear baseus skin that people are talking about - seems to be the thinnest out there.
What about a black carbon one, I think that would look sweet, although I am by no means any sort of designer.
