The OP's picture is actually just bad lightingmaking look black. The post above mine is actually the case for a HTC P4351, A.K.A the Atlas, which is what the Wing is. The Wing is just Tmobile's version. (Not sure why they thought making it blue would be a good idea.)
I actually prefer the blue. Anyone know where I can get a new shell? After a year, mine's a bit beat up.

i ordered a housing from these guys. they're shipping from hong kong and it takes FOREVER! but if you hated that ugly blue housing like i did you'll be happy.
took me a while to replace everything... then i realized... i could've just replaced the face and battery cover and it would've been simpler and saved me hours.
kristopherson, exactly how long did it take for the housing to come? I'm leaning very heavily to get the black housing from these guys.

All of that should be fully compatible with our phones. It's just Desktop Visualizer with a custom wallpaper. It is really cool looking though.

Gotcha. Well definately not me . I don't really do artistic....my theming is more fundamental changes Tonic probably would have been your best option, but honestly I'm not sure if he's developing anymore or not.
Great find. Too bad I prefer portrait mode over landscape but this has inspired me to do something similar in portrait view.

That would be hot. Thats more or less what im looking for. The Vibrant is majorly a portrait phone, as for the Streak is a landscape phone. I was inquiring if an artist could make a walpaper (portrait style) for our phones so the same type scheming could be achieved.
Not to hijack the thread. But what's going on with tonic? His work was awesome.

What exactly are you wanting to do just make wallpapers like this? Or a pre made theme with everything set up?

It looks like they just changed the icons of the apps to be transparent then applied a wallpaper that already said the app names on it. I would love to do this but its tough to do without a Dell Streak. :/

My goal is to have a similar type wallpaper, several if I may, so that I could apply my own icons. (Transparent) and use just one home screen. But as you can see, these are huge and landscape.

I have a friend that is pretty good at photoshop and will give it a shot for me. The problem that I see on this though is you will not be able to have more than one screen to move between or non of the icons will line up when you move to an alternate screen. What apps do you want listed on it? Do you just want the wallpapers from the other thread formatted to fit the vibrant screen? Let me know so I can pass it on.

I wouldnt mind having only one home screen. So long as the general things are avaiable. (Dialer, Gmail, Market, Messaging, Web) a PLUS would be to also have a File Browser section and a Music section along wih a gallery. but these are not essential. The wallpapers from the other thread are landscape and not really for the vibrant. so to resize them would look odd. Anything original is ok. im not picky. i just thought it would be a good idea to introduce these to the vibrant.

Actually... not entirely accurate. You can use the MultiPicture Live Wallpaper from the Market (free), and assign a specific wallpaper to each screen. You can use the same basic wallpaper with different app text locations, or different ones. Once you set up the screens you want, then add the trans icons, and boom, multiple screens with the same basic idea as what the OP had in mind.

I highly recommend the Galaxy S II. If you wait for something better, then you will always be waiting because newer, bigger phones will always be coming out. Right now, at this very moment, the GS2 is the BEST phone to get, and I believe it will remain on top for AT LEAST the next year.
In short as I',m sure at least 97% of the users here will tell you... I'm gonna say... Yes. You should. However if you don't mind waiting then keep waiting until the next great wonder phone drops.
"...something better", define your term.
HW spec., I'm sure there are phones that has higher freq., higher lcd resolution, .... that might not be suitable for "better", especially development supports.
Skyrocket is one example and Skyrocket HD is on the list to be released.
The Note will be out shortly, I'd guess less than a month.

AT&T Note variant is crippled... Crapdragon means no pulling any goodness from the GT-N7000 community.
It's not like the Captivate being able to pull from I9000 and us being able to pull from I9100. Yes, our development community is fairly small - but it doesn't need to be large because nearly everything happening in the massive I9100 community is applicable to our devices too.
The AT&T Note won't have that.
Yes - only if you are in non-LTE market/area
No - if you are in 4g LTE market or near-future LTE market
Starting Feb'12 at&t is going to introduce a lot of 4g LTE phones including skyrocket HD.
Even in an LTE market, I would not recommend any of the LTE devices. LTE is not yet mature, just like 3G wasn't mature when the first iPhone was released. (One of the few things Apple has done that I fully support is not jumping on the OMG NEW RADIO TECH!!!! bandwagon when it was CLEAR that the new radio tech was bad for battery life and phone size.)

WHy do people say this? I am in a LTE area and had a Skyrocket before jumping ship, data speeds were faster but its not like HSPA+ is Edge or anything.
Definitely. It's such an amazing phone, and the people on this forum are really helpful.
I don't think anyone here will say no haha.
I say yes you should get it. I Recently came from the Inspire(DHD).It took me awhile to get use to how light Samsung phones feel compare to HTC. Like mention believe if you live in a Lte area go ahead and get the Skyrocket or wait for the Skyrocket HD. I would recommend going to a local At&t or retail store and try the phone out to see if its to your liking.You don't want to pay for a phone your not going to like.

There are A TON of threads on this. Search our parent forum (where you can see all of the subforums). Go to search this forum, advanced search, type in skyrocket, and search titles only. I saw at least 5 . . . on the first page of results lol.

And also remember that Samsungs touchwiz doesn't seem as polish as HTC sense to some people(I did see something about sense on the gs2 but not sure if it's real or finished).Touchwiz is more based on speed and performance then it is show. The cool thing about the Samsung galaxy s2 is that thanks to amazing developers like Entropy we are able to run the international ones roms with hellraiser.if I really like HTC build n UI then go with the vivid.if you want yo try Android in a new amazing way get the gs2.like I said before try them both out at the store cause when it comes down to it it's your phone and it has to fit you.

Make sure you buy a jig if you decide to keep the phone because it comes in handy.you can find them on ebay for like $2+. Alot of the roms are themed touchwiz but they are Alot better then stock.
alright everybody, I just went to the store and played with the Galaxy Note 2. I have to say I am absolutely sold on this device now for sure 100 percent! Flash Player work on it, and everything else is just awesome! words can't even describe how fluid this device really is, anybody who was doubting might as well put that to rest! go to T Mobile or sprint and go play with yourself!
I did that too. But, coming from the GNote, it may or may not be worth the 300 right now. I guess for me, I can wait till it comes down in cost.

Well, I'm getting one but only because I can get it for free. Otherwise, I'd maybe hold on since the GNote I will be getting most of the Note IIs software through updates and also, I may want to wait for the price to drop.
At any rate, I've held a Tmobile Note II but that was about it. The POS Tmobile stores over here do that dumb crap where the vast majority of phones are just on static display, so you can't play with a working model. I don't understand how that's legal. You want me to commit hundreds of dollars towards a device I can't play with so I can wisely make an informed decision??
I already purchased mine....Waiting on the shipment....Hope ya get it...Ill be seeing ya in the note 2 forums
I'm going to go ahead and say that I won't be "playing with myself" at the tmobile store, though the Note 2 will definitely tempt me....

It's really asinine. And it's not just Tmobile...

Nobody knows for sure.
Even though the hover feature does exist in the Note 1, I believe Samsung has said hover mode is an exclusive feature of the Note 2 because of hardware...so I got a feeling that Samsung won't put some of the Note 2 features in a future update, if there is one anyways.
As for the mini apps and multiview, I also don't see why not. Current apps like Overskreen, aircalc and the pop up video players work fine. I dont see any slowdown on my Note 1(not stock)

every store I have ever been to, that has these static "show" models, will always let you actually try a working one, if you ask someone who works there..I totally understand why they dont have working models on display; people would just stand there endlessly playing with them if they had all working models out there, and, the people waiting behind you to look at the phone might have a long wait just to touch it while you are "checking it out" for 30 minutes....Like I said, just ask an employee to let you try a working one, and they will get one out of the box for you to try...

Similar story..
AT&T botched an upgrade of mine and they never updated my account that I had used the update.. got my note about 3 weeks ago.. deciding if I want to use the "free" update and pick up a Note 2 and sell this one.. will break even at worse case scenario..
Don't make me get the hose!
I work at Wal-Mart in the hardware section but I'm usually called to help out in electronics to run cashier/do communications setup.
So I usually have to pull my phone out to do demonstrations to people who are unfamiliar with android.
I kid you not, every time I whip this thing out I get some kind of reaction. One guy with an iPhone, and I quote him verbatim, said "ok. It's time to switch to android."
Another funny line, two older guys were getting some prepaid refill cards and his friend mentioned to him "it's time we get a bigger phone!"
When the phone first came in the mail
I ran into the nearest phone store to get my service done the guy was astounded by the phone, because he was just reading about it but never saw it in person, gave me a 20$ discount.
Sadly most people think it's a note 2, or ironically Note 3, which isn't even released yet.
Feels good man. I don't even care for any other phone now, all I'm waiting for is the mega 2.

Same with me, people think it's a Note 2 or nowadays a Note 3. Once you get used to the size you won't like anything smaller. Also waiting for the Mega 2.
Most of the comments I get are negative, but these are from people that simply don't get it, stuck in the late nineties thinking that smaller=better
They don't realise that Phones have changed direction now, its no longer about cramming the required tech into the smallest, lightest package, its now about putting the largest screen possible in a pocketable device, Phones aren't all about the calls anymore, with screen based activity being more important - this is a point that many don't understand.
I have always chosen the larger devices since the Nokia 9000 / XDA days, I was over the moon with the Dell Streak, and then the Note/NoteII, each time the device was touted as a niche product that will never catch on, but now with the Mega, and even mainstream devices pushing 5" more and more people are waking up to the benefits of a large screen.
Does anybody have any idea when the Mega 2 is coming out? I just heard about the Mega like 10 minutes ago, but I see people talking about the 2 already. I had planned on getting the Note 3 next month cause my phone is just about toast. I'll wait if the Mega 2 is coming soon.

the next mega will more than likely be in 2014 if it does come out. I got my fingers crossed.

So all these people talking about waiting for the Mega 2, they are just saying it to say it? I'm going to buy my next phone without a contract and I'd hate to do that if there's another one already in the works. I can just fix my Note 1 and sit tight until the Mega 2 comes out.

Ohhhhhhhh lol. I'm so damn slow sometimes lol. I just stopped reading the sentences and just saw, "waiting for the Mega 2" lol. Hey I'm on the fence big time. I don't know anything about this phone. I'm either getting this or the Note 3. I don't use half the **** my Note 1 has. I just got it cause it was big. Think I should get the Mega instead of the 3?

I came from note 1 and have to say i love this phone. The note 3 has some more oomph and obv the spen but tbh i dont miss the spen or features.
The only danger i see is that this is obiously a design sammy does not expect to sell many of in the scheme of things so less likely to get frequent updates as opposed to s4 and n3

See I don't even know how I feel about updates and all that. I'm still using an ICS rom on my Note. I like to try different Roms and all that, but once I find one I like I'm happy. If I could basically get a larger Note 1 I'd be perfectly fine lol. Maybe if it had MultiWindow, but I think I only want that cause i can't have it lol. Thanks for your insight though bro. I'll more than likely get this one. I'm wondering how the AT&T one will perform on T-Mobile since that's who I have.
Does the Mega have LTE connectivity ?
Edit: Yes it does. Missed it on the specs page:

The Samsung Galaxy Mega i9205 is the LTE version and obviously it supports LTE.
But I hear that some frequencies of ATT(1700Mhz?) are not support. Don't know much more on that since I'm in the EU and no LTE here anyway.

AT&T has their own version with LTE and a locked bootloader, so no root yet. It's worth it, though.
Started from the bottom, with a Streak, then the Note, then the Note 2, got this the day after the Note 3 was announced, because I have no faith the 3 is going to be worth it. Might have processor and ram, but I find myself browsing the internet for funny pictures and info rather than trying to play the latest games with 3d graphics and whatnot. Bigger screen = better for me.

And with a screen that size, google maps is gonna make for a superior nav system as compared to smaller screen dedicated Garmins and Tom Toms.

Bottom line, it performs brilliantly.
Full 4GLTE on t mob. Check out the other posts I've made and find the screenshot of the data performance 22000mbps+!
Not bad for a "middle" market phone.
I love it.

pa49 There fixed it for you.
That number was confusing me each time I read it.
Most of my friends and work colleagues have joked about my Mega. Sadly, mostly negative as they just didn't really get it (that and I had some horrid tacky case on it so I guess that didn't help). A couple have liked it and my girlfriend is growing to like it too. I did get laughed at by a shop assistant when I had to take a call the other day.
Waiting for the SGH52 headset to come out and that'll be much easier for taking calls.
Another Note 1 to Mega user. I have no regrets with the Mega. As far as people's reactions amazingly I've been able to not draw attention to it yet as I guess I've concealed it well. lol People at work don't have a clue and they probably figure it's still my Note 1.
