http://code.google.com/p/android-starcraft/ seems going on, i just tested the alpha/beta/gamma/whatever and killed some marineguys ^^
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.qualcomm.qx.dillo takes great use of what the g1 is capable of! wish more developers would takre care of our great opengl (e.g. SIMS3! crappy java **** ZOMG!)
looking forward.
some1 knows some1 developing something fancy with graphics like the 2nd link?
I was curious if themes had an effect on the phones performance. Like speed or battery life. I have noticed my battery draining rather fast.
well.......................
If you ever worked on a car, the more you pretty it up with suff like bodykits, big wings that scream point me to the airport and stuff of the like, the car has to work harder and uses more gas. Same rules apply
Hopefully that answers your ? In a round about way
Thank you, come again
Yea but it looks Badass getting there!
I agree, cars except the stupid wing and themes look badass but I am all about performance,which themes and bodykits take away from
I agree i have noticed that themes did slow down my g1 drain more battery and general giving a few more fc. Although it does make the ui look great. Maybe someone should test to see if there really is a diffrence and not a placebo effect
i agree with you pistol but you are asking the phone to do more so the normal way would be that it would drain more battery and slowit down a little bit
I have gone like you and am now running themeless
Most themes don't do much besides change system images. The images are only replaced so it's not too much different than stock. As long as the images are optimized, it shouldn't have much affect. If there are mods in the theme itself, that's where things can get weird. Besides a few FC's sometimes, themes have minimal affect on performance from what I can tell.
Well someone shpuld at least try and see if there is a diffrence with a theme. Its worth a shot we maybe surprised woth the results. I wish I could I dnt have the time unfourtantly.

I agree.
I'd like to know for sure what the differences are with/without a theme.
I don't know the first thing about benchmarking a phone so I'm gonna leave this one up to someone else.
honestly the reasons your bats are draining are because PROBABLY your doing things that will drain it
ie going on xda via the phone browser, using any apps for a period of time,taking pictures, you get what im saying? i havent had any battery issuses when using themes. maybe you are all a little paranoid?
I just might be, wait what was that, oh just my shadow
I see that some of the magical devs here at xda were able to port Notion Ink's "Eden" interface to the Viewsonic G tablet... any chance the NC can get some of that love as well?
Could someone with better dev skills than myself take a look at their work and evaluate how difficult it may be to bring over to the NC?
Thanks ahead of time.
G-Tab port of Eden here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928152
all I've heard is bad reviews about the Eden interface so far. maybe the update that Rohan is going to send out will help, but so far so bad. Its making it hard to evaluate the actual hardware.

...but it sounds like paradise
OK - sorry.
I'm not sure I see the appeal of the Eden interface?
Seems like a pain in the ass to use. Not only that but scrolling around all the time, dealing with apps that aren't able to work in a panel, etc.
Well after being out of town for a week and not having my laptop I am finally home. Work has already began but, I am torn as to which way I will go. Right now I have a mix of Thriller 1.0.3 and ThaizD and I am thinking about ditching that and modding CM7 which will be a lot of work to get things working correctly. I am running my rom right now and posting from the XDA tapatalk app. There is still a lot of tweaking that needs to be done. I haven't even touched the theme yet, just a few tweaks.
I will hopefully be releasing a beta within the next week or so as long as I have enough time, been very busy lately. Just thought I would get the word out. So far everything is working well, which isn't saying much since I haven't really done any experimenting yet.
As of now I am calling it "No Frill Thrill" because it is going to be a very stripped down rom. I am trying to focus more on speed, battery, memory, GPS and theme. Users will be able to just restore data and get everything they had back.
Guess that's all the info I have for now. I will post updates now and then to let you guys know how progress is going.
I look forward to seeing what u can come up with. I'm sure everyone else will appreciate any advancements we can get. Really looking forward to the possibility of new kernels and more radios that can be flashed down the road. New theming alone would definitely make the UI better. This has got to be one of the ugliest and worst designed UI to come on a phone.

Yeah, it will be a bit before I get anything done. Need to setup my laptop and take a nap lol Im an old man and if I work while sleepy Ill screw everything up... so nap time then I set to work.
Junk post sorry guess I got a lame place holder
I think we all agree that we appreciate any work that is done to make this phone/any phone better. I have a high appreciation for all of the developers.
While you're napping and rom creating, I'll be playing...

Yes, I'm all over this tomorrow at 5.
i would love to help i dont no anything about programming but i am a fast learner i built my first computer from the ground up when i was 12 years old is there anything i could learn that would help with the developing also i dont know know if anyone here likes miui it would be great if we could get that on our thrill thanks love to hear from you
I might need some testers for pre release but that wont be for a while. Progress is coming along nicely though I will post some screenshots and a little bit more info once I get further. Right now I'm not happy with it enough to release any shots because things will be changing. Still not sure which kernel i am going to use nor am I sure of the theme right now looks kind of shoddy.
And just so you know, I have a lot going on so progress on my rom is slow things will be a little less hectic in the next week so things will really pick up then.

glad to see somebody stepping up to the plate to develop a new rom...
i am a really good graphic designer so if you need any help theming let me know... i can throw a nice framework-res together for ya.. just let me know what style you are going for... or i can pitch my own ideas..
im definetly also willing to test... if something goes wrong i can use adb well and fix it.. im not a noob so you dont gotta worry bout that.. lol
I'm looking forward to it. Too bad I can't figure out how to flash my CWM Screen correctly.

Well things are picking up now. I have added some extra tweaks to not just the build.prop but a few other places as well. Not getting too involved in this because GB is coming soon so this is just for fun and to improve our phone while we wait. Trekfan will hopefully be designing a nice theme/ui so thank him as well he hasnt actually agreed but I think from his offer in his last post its safe to say he will.
Lastly I think there will be a name change...

I can test this ROM if you need. As long as it doesn't brick my phone lol
Well here's some screens of certain parts, pay no attention to the status bar I haven't really messed with that yet, like I said things are going slow but will pick up soon.
The first shot is of the dialer which I'm going to make all the buttons like #5 and smooth out the graphics and make them look much better.
Second shot is of the pop-up windows green glow border and orange load circle. This will also be changing in the future.
Third shot is just something stupid, changed the lock pattern circles to little android guys.
I have also edited the messaging app and will be doing much more once I get a few days of free time.
Name changed to Doomed Froyo
I cant wait to try it. Sounds like a good ROM. Got to give props to the developers for taking time developing apps for the Thrill.
Looks great, but the five button does look sort of ugly IMO, otherwise amazing job.

lol yeah it's just an example of what it's going to look like, I have to clean up the graphics and give them soft edges and what not
Oh and if Trekfan is making a theme then things are going to probably look completely different still haven't heard anything yet. I am really waiting to see if that's going to happen so I have an idea of a color scheme, I am very particular to the green and orange though... something about green orange and black they go together so well in my eyes.

WooHoo thanks to Trekfan for putting together a very nice framework, it isn't quite done yet but what is there is looking very fancy!
Things that have been done:
Speed Tweaks
Memory Management Tweaks
Camera/Video Tweaks (Still working on some settings)
GPS Tweaks
DNS Tweaks
Ads Blocked with Host file
+ More
Things to do:
Add Wallpapers/Ringtones/Notification tones/Fonts +extras
Add extra apps (cpu master/XDA forum app + others)
Update Apps to newest versions
Finish framework theme (THANKS A TON TO TREKFAN)
Remove any bloat (always last thing for me to do....)
Finish altering contacts.apk, mms.apk and lghome.apk (coming along slowly I have been neglecting other things working on this stuff lol this may wait until the full release after beta)
There are many more things that will be done, screenshots of the INCOMPLETE theme will be coming today and hopefully we can have an official beta release this weekend. I hope everyone enjoys this ROM as it is meant to not only enhance our devices but also give everyone a bit of variety as the development on this phone is pretty stale. One thing that I hope to do is release flashable "themes" or frameworks so once you download the ROM you can then just download and flash .zips in CWM and have a variety of looks.
Another big THANK YOU goes out to gtg and all his work on the Thriller ROM and all the other guys over on the O3D forum keep up the good work everyone.
1. Screenshot of the plain desktop, things will be changing like the default wallpaper and the look of the launcher will be changed on post beta release.
2. Shot of the pulldown notification area.
3. Shot of the new check boxes, buttons have been changed as well.
4. Shot of the toasts, pop-ups, you can see the loading wheel in the top right and a bit more.
Things here and there may change, also the battery indicator goes from blue (full) to green to orange to yellow to red (low) there has been a lot more changed besides what you see so everyone thank Trekfan for all his hard work putting this together. THANKS TREK
Also, once this is released it will be in the Development section as of right now this is just general stuff that's why I posted it here, if the mods wish to move this thread to Development so be it and I will just update first.
For those of us who have bought the xda premium app... The one in the rom doesnt uninstall properly... Pain in the butt.. Haha just sayin... Yeah I need to fix acouple of things in the theme... I got a few inconsistincies... Will work on it tomorrow morning and afternoon... And will upload, with some new screenshots

Really like how it look of CM Mods but the only and most important thing is that I can't adjust White Balance in it. I really don't think it's a very hard part patch to CM Mods, but why is nobody doing this..? I kept on searching and asking but I don't seem to get any feedback... Don't know why there's only few people talking about this. It really means a lot to me, and I'd really like to find a way to solve it. The lack of White Balance function is the only thing that's keeping me away from CM Mods even I love them so much...
Does anyone know how to add this function to the mods or if there's any other way around..? Kindly let me know.. I've been so tired of dealing with this. Thanks in advance!
