I took the plunge

[dankarlinski]

I took it... I decided to install the tbh GB leak... only had it for an hour or so, but here is what I found so far....

The status bar is a dark blue color. The battery looks very close to one from an iphone, while the signal bars are blue, and the 3g logo is blue and inside a gray box....

Phonewise:
Comes with motoblur installed 3.0 I assume. widgets are basically the same. One thing I noticed is that clicking on the messaging widget brings you to a neat interface where you scroll thru whole convos (it is laid out simular to the gallery)

Comes preloaded with all the normal junk. NOTE THAT THIS FILE IS UNROOTABLE AS OF RIGHT NOW!! I have tried it myself, with no luck. Just a warning

The keyboard has the normal moto keyboard to it, but has a neat spellcheck built into it. Its actually pretty nice. All incorrect words are highlighted red, and can be fixed easily.

The phone app is laid out the same, but has a slick skin on it.

The transitions are slick and smooth on the phone.

Hitting menu from the homescreen allows you to access a new menu option that let's you assign profiles to homescreens (I.e. one homescreen set (7 screens) for work, one for home, and one for work) it seems like it will be very handy. =)

I have dug too much deeper into it than what I already posted since im at work, but ill post more as I see it

Few more things.


Inpocket detection is here for the D2 users. Before it was just D2G.
Wifi hotspot and usb tethering options are an option in the wireless networks menu in settings

There is a data manager which allows you to set certain email accounts, social messaging apps, android market, etc. To only sync over wifi if needed. You can choose app for app as well, not just all on or all off.

Last new thing in settings...

In the location menu, there is an option to enable verizon location. It says it is used for verizon and authorised 3rd parties to locate the phone if needed. (Lost phone tracking??)


That's it for settings. Ill post more when I find it

There is a new customizable dockbar on the bottom and the app drawer is layed out much differntely. There's a market icon in the corner and you can make groups. Comes preloaded with "All Apps" "Downloaded" "Recent". There is also a sleep mode in the power down menu which is to conserve battery life which is so nice.

There is a new Task Manager app which allows you to control which apps are running by auto closing them 2 mins after the UI closes. Haven't played too much with it but it seems nice.

YOU CAN NOW TURN OFF ALL HAPTIC FEEDBACK!!!

More later.

To install it, download the zip file, and flash it like a normal zip file in clockwork. Note that this version is currently unrootable

Keep in mind that the only way to get back to a backup is to sbf to the current setup thru rsd and then root and then restore. You cannot restore directly from the phone
