I've enjoyed this port for a little bit and now have some comments.
- Remove JoyTuner.apk from system/apps, it doesn't work.
- How about removing the entire switchboard from the notification pulldown menu? When you swipe up on a homescreen and scroll all the way to the left, you have redundant but prettier toggles.
- I liked the screenshots showing the Android status bar in the third post. The white bar doesn't seem to blend as nicely, I think because iPods and iPhones tend to be white, whereas a black bar looks nicer on a black Prevail. I know that one way to look at any project like JoyOS is to emulate iOS as closely as possible, but since it can never be completely accomplished (you'll still always have Android menus), I feel the best way to approach it is to create a hybrid that's the best of both worlds, and I think the Android bar is better. So either leave the Android bar there with Android-style notifications, or at least emulate iOS 4's Notification Center ripoff of Android, which uses a dark metallic gray anyway. iOS 5 copies Android further with a black bar, so I think going from black to white is backwards, and doesn't look right on my phone.
- The Music player and its Cover Flow, integration into lockscreen and multitasking bar is awesome.
- The Settings menu is very choppy when scrolling, and I suspect it's because of the design sacrificing fluidity for accurate emulation. Again, think hybrid and leaving a fluid Android-style menu is a better choice
- I'm sure this and previous suggestions is better directed at the JoyOS team, but since you have assumed the role of porter for Prevails, you have a responsibility (and ability hopefully) to improve upon aspects of the ROM. One aspect that is very missing is a Weather app that displays the current weather in its icon as on iOS. Either that or include a widget, but it is very much needed to be a complete iOS experience. (Calendar is done right)
I hope you dedicate some time to this because I think the Prevail is awesome when emulating iOS (it's the perfect size) but attention to detail is key. With the right creative vision JoyOS for Prevails can be better than JoyOS for all other devices. However I am an impatient type and I might just tweak things myself through reverse engineering and share in this therad in the future, once I get my PC back. But the notification bar and pulldown definitely needs work. To repeat it doesn't feel Android nor iOS, which is why it's weak. So get rid of the Switchboard and make everything metallic gray including the bar like iOS 4 OR make it a black bar and black notifications like modern Android
