When will Android 4.3 be available???

Yeah i must admit i hated the new play store look but its grown on me. I use the black version though. I suppose with android though, theres nothing much they can do the UI that we cant just change back to how we like it other than with the google apps. Like im running a very stock android rom but i still use a 3rd party launcher because i prefer the look. If i was a big Maps user though id probably be angry with such a drastic change. I still use the old version of ES File Explorer because i hated the change lol. I do like change but not on an app that i use as a tool :)
 
Its been subtly hinted at that they're headed toward a Google now card style theme.

I personally welcome it :D
 
You welcome dumbing down the #1 OS to copy the likes of Windows Phone so some iNoob can give up his iPhone? Sorry, but I am just not understanding why Google would go and pull such a stunt. The reaction may very well kill off Android. Last I checked, WebOS is dead. Why resurrect it?

I like change too but not for the sake of change. Especially to make it look like a toy for kindergarten kids

Ha i also still use the old version, it wasn't broke so why fix it lol. I also used the old ADW launcher when the new one came out, but eventually I switched to apex.
 
I use tsf shell. Very unique as no one else has it yet. I wish I could theme apps however, as even Yahoo! Mail and ES File Explorer got Metro'd. I could use older copies but why use some outdated buggy software full of security holes as a workaround? Isn't that more like using Internet Explorer 6 because I hate the way IE 9 looks?

I just dig the Google now card style. Nothing else to it :thumbup:
 
Google Now cards work well for in-car HUDs and fancy Google Glasses (although the nicer-looking, better-priced ReconJet may get my money) but not as a platform for tablets and phones, heck on large screens all that size is wasted on oversized icons perfectly suited for a two-year-old.

Heck Windows Phone looks like some Fisher-Price toy.
 
Tehe my mum still has some fisher price toys from when i was a kid. Those things were solid. And Tonka :D
Sorry, i seem to be off-topic-boy lately lol :beer:
