I was looking thru the review of the droid x and i noticed that it has some pretty sweet social networking and news etc. widgets. does anyone know if we can get thos yet or and apks for em? they looked awesome.
Makes sense. but you said Blur 2.1 and they said that its not running blur but a modified theme of 2.1. am i correct? Just wondering.
the Droid X is very much running Blur 2.1. Its more than just a theme
Somewhere here there is a thread where someone wanted blur on these phones and he got ripped apart.
Now we care???
Here's where I stand on blur, or whatever the heck is on the X. I kind of like it. Some of the widgets are pretty interesting, and are a step up from the stock Android social networking widgets. I also like the look of the X's interface.
That said, I like stock Android. I don't like that people are constantly skinning the camera, etc. The camera needs to be quick. The main thing I despise about the Droid is the camera, and the lag. I won't jump to a new phone until I have something that I can use, reliably, and not miss my point and shoot.
The X is intriguing, but for now, I'll stick to the Droid.
its not full on blur. its a specially made software for the droid X. it takes a lot from blur but it is not blur or blur 2.1
I disagree. Whatever it is it is tied to the the framework and overal operating system. Its a lot more than a theme.
I don't know OMJ... from the way the Engadget review made it sound, it doesn't effect the OS that much and it can be turned off... They made a point to drive that home, that the new whatever Moto is calling it, isn't Blur and will not have to be updated before an OTA update for Android is pushed out, which was the problem that phones running < 2.1 are having trying to get the 2.1 update...
The way they made it sound it is just anouther app...
If it wasnt tied into the framework and OS then we could just pull the apks and the widgets would work. Thats not the case. There is more there.
You might be able to hide it but you arent turning it off
Or, to put it better - you can turn it off so it doesn't run - but try getting it out of your system...
Kinda like Windows - you can run any browser you want, but just try getting IE removed from your system.
(Yes, Windows 7 non-US users notwithstanding....)
