Along with the twitter tab being gone, thats really all i'm missing.
this thing seems to be so smooth & fast its a nice change from 2.5. i've added a couple of Kamil's mods to this Sense 2.1 like compact home & compact sense & it really cleans things up a lot.
but honestly without Zone23 making his contributions to this thread with his "show-off" how-to's & screenshots i wouldn't have come back to 2.1. i just wanted to give an official thanks to him & everyone else making this thread so great(ahuskins ofc too  those are great posts Zone23.
anyway i'll quit wasting your time, i just wanted to say a few of these things, maybe someone will get something out of it. hehe
awesome work everyone! |
Thanks that means a lot. I really just like showing what can be done and how to do it. I've seen pictures and wondered "how did he/she do that".
I'm with you on the 2.1 what I liked about 2.5 was the animated weather on the homescreen and I originally thought wouldn't it be easier to just port that over vs. trying to port over an entire system (with no landscape support)? That's really what they've done and it works beautifully. Now the 2.1 has almost all the features of 2.5 plus the landscape on a platform that is designed for our devises (mostly). I would not be suprised if at some point the People tab and the Internet tab get ported as well.
I'm thinking it would be cool if SKI developed a 2.1 ROM and added the cabs in a folder that could easily install these features. If you want a particular feature such as animated weather you could click the shortcut and install it. Kinda like he does with the Sprint cab. The only issue is this duplicates files and uses more space than it would just being cooked in. The advantage would be more user customization. So if you want the 2.5 Email tab or you want the 2.5 calendar the user can install it.
I have not found anything that doesn't work with the 2.1 especially the facebook stuff works perfect including the download of facebook photos and syncing them with exchange server. That by its self is a big plus and something I have not seen work in 2.5.
Truly this is all SKI all I did really was add a little touch here and there. His 2.1 already had the folders in the start menu, and animated weather. I just added the email and the calendar (I think). I also removed a lot of his customizations that he worked so hard on so hopefully he isn't too upset.
Thanks again.
