Help Home Screen and HD video in the X10 Update

What a joke making a big deal out of stuff that we have been doing for months with market apps!

Still nice to see they are doing something while their using us as free R&D puppets.

Yeah just watched the video

New widget for missed calls and switchers for 3g etc - check
Homescreen with 5 desktops (ADW actually has 7) - check
quick preview of all homescreens - check
20 apps per screen on layout - check
single press for app drawer - check

only thing i think we can't do right now is live wallpaper and HD video
and if he REALLY likes that 3 call widget he really should browse the market more - although i will issue a health warning incase the excitement gives him a heart attack

wow yea i agree with both of you, SE is now way behind the curve consider not only are the other phone developers coming out with better stuff but now the customers (us) are taking the lack of updates into our own hands and customizing to our liking. oh by the way MrWomble whats the widget called to view missed calls?

Hey seen a few different screen lock apps... are they for main unlock
s like the default x10 unlock or something else? The screen shots look confusing. Theres one called side unlock and one called lockgo. What ones better?

Well I've never used LockGo nor seen it work, but I have seen side unlock work, and it looks great, just like the iphone

After using a Galaxy with 2.1 for the last week I am really hating the slide lock, gimme the SE arc swipe any day of the week :(

The more I'm using 2.1 the more I want my X10 fixed and running the rooted 1.6 :)


hmm i would think the simple side swipe would be easier??

I like the app that allows you to bypass it but it messes up my notification bar. :( boo urns

ya its not so much the arc or whatever its the lag. it sometimes doesnt want to go all the way and i have to try it 2 more times to get it. that is prolly the most frustrating part of the phone so far but in a close second is were if you open your text messages and its already in a thread and you press back to go back to see all your text threads, it takes you to your home screen and you have to go all in again and retry it. am i doing something wrong? i dont see any other way to go back to text menu when in a thread?

Why do I get the feeling from that first video that they are going to miss the end of Oct deadline by a LONG Shot............. From my reading between the lines, I'm beating they will come up with some new reason for a delay until the end of November. To top it, the reason for the delay, well guess what, it won't be their fault, sickening! Any body wanna place some Las Vegas beats on this... The bad thing, they are trying to appease us with stuff that for most of us, is already out dated. This is what happens when you release an OS late and fail to keep it current. While the rest of the world is moving forward, they are spinning their wheels trying to play catch to anything, which they again, are doing a terrible job with.

Sad, Sad, Sad .....................

do i have to put back on notifications once handcent is up and going? by the way thanks. looks great!

Once handcent is installed - turn on the notifications ONLY in the Handcent menu

Otherwise the stock messaging program will keep telling you that there are unread messages - but +1 on the thanks

always nice to help a fellow user - as usual - any issues or questions, ask us lol
