Can I safely assume the phone needs to be GEN 2 ?

Will hold off until you, or someone else, makes a version of this with the AOSP dialler. I like my Facebook contact sync.

Two little suggestions :

-making the circle battery as mod, not default.

-try to replace the ZTE dialer by the AOSP one.

Anyway I'll maybe give it a shot. :)

I think many ppl prefer it, but i could give you a stock battery mod if you like? :)

i have a few questions:
1. is the wi-fi disconnection while screen of problem resolved? or will i stiill need to use 3rd party app for it?
2. is fm still only through earphones?
3. does it have hebrew menus? does it support right alignment of right to left languages?
4. what's the name of the widget you're using for clock\weather and power toggles as seen in the pictures above?

thanks.

When you say don't use titanium backup to reinstall apps, do you mean system app and data only or all? Because i have about 200 apps, don't want to reinstall them all manually. Many thanks

WiFi doesn't disconnect on this rom when the phone goes to sleep. I just tested it by pinging the phone while asleep, works fine  :) .

I installed it right now, till now everything all right, very smooth, but there are things that I dont like in the interface.

The circle Battery is ugly, aceptable but ugly, i prefer the percentage with the little bar;
The hours in blue, dont look good, white is much better, that along with the date when u call the notification must be in white in my opinion; the operator colour its Ok;

Till now its that, im gonna test it a little more and give feedback :)

It's a brand new rom just released today. How do you expect anyone to know what the battery life is going to be like already?

Could you even get 200 apps installed on this phone? And does anyone really need even 50 apps let alone 200?

Yeah but that's not the question here! Even if it's 20 apps, it will be nice to be able to have titanium back up to do this for you rather than installing all of them manually!

PS: I have over 65 apps! :) (I think android market ran out of apps that fall in 'decent' category!)


I own a Windows Phone 7 now and I love it more than anything that my finger have touched. Yes, 'anything' ;)
Hint: HTC Eternity
