Fake Badges and Fake Walk of Fame Stars

XDA member bbonz has created two ‘fake’ apps. One lets you make a fake badge on your phone so you can have a special agent, FBI, etc badge on you (and no, I don’t think anyone will mistake your phone for a real badge:)). This has just been updated to allow for some user customization … Read more

TF3D 2.1 Automatically Detects Location And More

The other day Herg released his latest Fuze ROM running build 23412 which I’ve been happily running. Today I turned on TF3D (which I usually have disabled) to see how it runs.

Winterface 2.0 Sneak Preview

Vito Technology recently announced that their popular Winterface user interface was about to receive a major upgrade. We were fortunate to receive a pre-release copy of Winterface 2.0 and we’re going to share some screenshots with you. But let’s first tell you a little about Winterface 2. For various reasons, I was testing this on my 8525/Hermes. It’s clear that Winterface is light and efficient because my phone was flying with Winterface 2.0 running. Going from page to page within Winterface requires a swipe and it was amazingly responsive. In fact, I’m sure we’ve all tried to put our finger on the screen and see how far behind our finger the screen moves…well with Winterface 2 there’s no lag so even between screens everything moves in real time, which I can’t say about TF3D. It really makes the interface feel smooth and enjoyable. As I sit here and flick through 6 screens I’m still shocked how fast it goes. You should also know that Winterface 2 can be integrated into your current interface, so it can be a plugin on your standard Today screen or you can just make a shortcut to it to launch it. If you run it as a plugin then just tap it and it’s full screen with zero delay…not a flicker. It’s also very highly customizable and entirely finger friendly so no need to use the stylus at all.

But that’s enough talking, let’s get to some screenshots already so you can see it in action:

Buyer Beware…Of Stuck Pixels

When the Touch HD came out there were reports of ‘stuck’ pixels – ones that just give out one color, sometimes just black, and don’t change color like they’re supposed to. Many people stated that with such a high resolution screen there were bound to be some stuck pixels. But HTC decided to ship these … Read more

Joe Earl Presents: Bubbles

Joe Earl has released a new game on XDA called Bubbles. It’s pretty straightforward – as the bubbles emerge you need to touch the screen to pop them before they burst. So it’s a race against the clock. It’s a flash based application and it’s very slick looking. But don’t take my word for it, … Read more
