What I was going to do with this theme was going to be a bit different but instead of forcing it on you I will ask nicely for you to please opt in on what I ask.
If you download my theme all I ask is for you to post what you are grateful for in your life it is nice to hear uplifting stuff this close to the holidays, it just makes my holidays that much better! If you are a party pooper and have nothing to be grateful for feel free to donate to me so I can spend more time with my son and less time working which gives me something to be grateful for!
Hope you enjoy!​[ DOWNLOAD ]

The Donators - Huge Thanks to the few of you that have donated as if it was not for you I would of stopped this madness weeks ago

It looks awesome, thank you! Enjoy the Holidays with your loved ones.

Very nice man. Looks great.
I'm thankful for having my parents and all 4 grandparents in my life to support me.
I'm making a nandroid of my current setup, then gonna test out my lockscreen for this. Will have it out as soon as I can.

Oh man! Your final touches are amazing! Love that lock screen!
What am I thankful for? Frankly: everything and everyone in my life. Yes, even the bad, because in spite of it all, that's how I got to where I am, and I wouldn't trade a thing!
But what I'm ultimately MOST thankful for: the reason for the season, Jesus Christ, because no matter what life may throw my way (and let's face it, it inevitably ends badly for all of us), He's given me hope for something better.
I have to spread my donations out a little bit, but you'll get another "thanks" from me before Christmas

But, its easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission

Beautiful theme dude
On top of what they said, Im grateful for who I am and how i came to be so, whether it was an up or down.

This theme is crazy awesome.
I am a recovering addict, and I am thankful for my 3 years clean, and for Android for keeping me out of trouble. And for this awesome community. How bored I might be without it.

I know why that is but I'm not entirely sure how to fix it because I never had that problem. Its an issue with the .9 border if you know what that is. I have an idea about how to fix it and I would attempt to fix it myself for ya but I'm a little busy with my theme.

Should I make this theme?

I currently have a theme out for 7510 for Task650's GalaxyTask ROM located here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382937
I was thinking of making a Red, Blue, and Green version of this theme but I'm kind of second guessing myself. Not many people downloaded that theme (and for the record, I didn't get not one single "thanks" for it). So if nobody wants the theme, I won't even bother spending countless hours of my time working on it. I'm perfectly content with my black and white version that I made for myself and decided to share.
The reason I was going to make red, blue, and green theme's for it is because some people I know would rather have color than a black and white theme.
So if you want a red blue or green version of my Ninja theme...Thank this post, or post a comment, send me a message, or whatever you want to do.
Or....if you hate that theme, feel free to let me know that too

Yeah bro. My family owns a company that helps special needs kids and they get SUPER excited about any holiday (like even thanksgiving they fiend over) so imagine what its like for christmas
But yeah, with my knowledge of photoshop, I can make themes of multiple colors at one time. Of course it takes a little longer than doing just one single theme, but not as long as doing 3 of them individually. And it takes a lot of organizational skills to keep the colors separate haha.
I just hope task doesnt update the framework half way through the creation of my themes haha.

a HTC Developers public life

Not sure, where to put this, so i just leave this a general info, that JellyBean is being worked on by HTC maybe even for our device.
this is coming from a HTC developers code details. By accident i stubled upon some source to honeycomb 3.2.2 and it was published by a HTC developer.
but looking at his googlecode you can find some wierd stuff and pictures also. (totally not XDA, but fun)
check this googlecode out.
you even see snaps of a flyer source build in progress if you look carefully.
i wondered about writing him at his @HTC.com email, but hell, im not the one publishing code on the internet
I'm not a developer, so seeing those files Dexter can you conclude how much work is done? Or is being done?
Amazing find though, keep up the great work!

i honestly cannot see, since he actually got his hands on a environment with many builds.
It seems somehow he is a developer of the media part of the htc phones, so somehow he got the full access, but of course only work on a very specific part of the new builds. but sure, its JB builds he got working there, he even names some of his code, JB. or maybe he just like bieber LOL
anyways a little fun, and we get HTC's you rock snaps included from their year end party as well.
Well I hope we do get official Jelly Bean
Or you could just send them your ROM to fix
This would be amazing. So long without any updates, even no ICS, and BAM - skip right up to 4.1 jelly bean?
A dream that should come true.

i guess some jananese guy read my post and reported it.
too stupid to have htc code and other things laying around like that.
super bummed.... i know i was grasping at straws but damn if i didn't feel even the tiniest bit of hope pop up inside me when reading this the other day....
i didn't want to get too excited. but after reading your reply i can tell i must have already fallen for the excitement, as i'm supper bummed out now
why would they work on ICS/JB for the flyer and not even give us any clue about it?
I read the post on Facebook and I really don't know what to think about it, what is wrong with them.
Why don't they tell us about it, just to be able in any case to cancel it.
We paid good money for the flyer and it is not even two years old.
Their Honeycomb Upgrade was/is terrible so we really deserve that. At the beginning (May 2011) this Tab was sold for $1794.99 by Amazon.com!
Now they removed even the introductory price information of Wikipedia, luckily there is a picture of it before they did it.

Another thing, I figured out how reproduce a "HTC bug report" on the official HC. I mean I can randomly (like a loop) generate this bug so that a bug report is send to HTC.
Do you thing if i can organize a "Flashmob bug report" this would disturb HTC or at least they would notice us? :fingers-crossed:

dont use wiki as a source ever. About the bug reporting, sound s good. But, like you said” randomly” so how can so many users do this report if the cause is random.
I meant I can do it in purpose. Every time like a loop, with 2 klicks.
My English is not that good, I thought randomly means something like a loop.
It has to do with an "app plugin update" in the "HTC hub/likes"

I don't think HTC believes our tablets are worth saving even though we know how much we love our tabs. JB would be awesome because unlike most, I love sense and if we got a JB with sense, I'd flip but again I don't expect it.
I never felt such disappointment for a device before, this particular case with the flyer is really an epic fail. Maybe the biggest fail in the whole android update history. $699 and not even a year in support... just one crappie HC upgrade.

actully LG optimus 4X is doing alot worse when it comes to support and whatever that follows. even the section is near "legacy devices" state.
It's a small comfort but thanks. It's neck and neck.
The only thing that keeps me on the flyer is the s-pen and the 7 inches. But now I heard YouTube that Samsung brought out a pen that works on all capacities displays. And it is also useable as a bluetooth headset. Just the price I heard wasn't nice, 80€. And the pressure sense Is surely missing.
But if that's true from now on I would focus in nexus devices only.
I care about the specs a lot but after this case I actually care more about the support. Till now even the prices of nexus devices are a lot nicer then other ones.

+1 pen and seven inch form factor has me sticking with flyer. Do you have any more info on the Samsung pen? I might be interested in that.
Edit: nvm found it. Looking into it now
What a surprise - no further tablets from HTC
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-drops-out-of-us-tablet-market-for-now-20121010/
Edit: well I guess they just won't sell tablets in USA (why what did we do to them?) but what does that mean for the rest of the world? And if they do produce a tablet I wonder if it would be competitively priced and supported by them for more than 6 months.
I will look for more info and hope that pen exist.
I was just playing with the Note 10.1 (just checking out the handwriting capabilities) . I must say i I like it a lot. Writing on it felt smooth and it consistently correctly converted my horrible chicken scratch of a handwriting. The predictive text worked pretty well also. But it's not the seven inch form factor that I prefer and it is lacking the quality feel of my beloved flyer.

MT2L03 CyanogenMod Support

Well, on the heals of the announcement that our excellent device is now DOA due to lack of manufacturer support (ugh, AND I JUST BOUGHT THIS THING 3 WEEKS AGO!!!!!) I have decided to start a device request over with the CM team...
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/101462-huawei-ascend-mate-2-mt2l03-device-request/
We have the same SoC as the HTC Desire 816 - not apples to apples but atleast there should be some commonality for certain areas - so hoping we can get something started. Please light up the device request so we can try to get some buzz.

Where did you see that Huawei announced there will be no device support for our US model? If this is the case I will get rid of mine today.
They confirmed no KK, see thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/confirmed-kitkat-t2921399
And even their US offices aren't being given any info about any other updates, i.e. Lollipop. :crying:

I'm not against custom ROMs obviously, but I hope you realize they don't care about device requests. The only way we'll get one is if some random nice developer (like Modding) comes along and decides to help.
We'll just have to wait and see (...again) what those developers that got a free Bait2 at BABBQ are going to do. That is, if they're going to do anything.

From what I have heard, our phone will recieve the update but we're gonna have to wait until the end of the year. Really disappointed with HTC and also I'm stuck with this OS as there aren't any custom ROMs available yet. Why did I buy this phone? HTC you suck.

Same this has happened with the desire 816, and yet that phone just got the 5.0 update. My guess the representative might've been flustered.
are you sure ?
Honestly guys if you want dev support and timely updates get a flag ship HTC, not a throw away $100 phone and expect support over a year later. The M7, M8 and M9 probably have the beat dev support XDA has to offer, plus HTC has been good on their promises. Nobody is entitled to a custom ROM, if you need one that bad learn how to code and do it yourself. Don't expect someone who doesn't own a 610 to do it for you.

You want custom ROMs get a nexus or an M7/8/9. Its not HTC's fault you didn't do your homework before selecting a phone. Just be thankful we have root and S-off at least. You're acting like HTC sold you a broken phone.
Don,t worry

If you're buying a midrange phone like the 610, then you most likely aren't exactly entitled to a big budget. So please no Ronald Reaganing.

you know what this attitude makes me puke... you think we want to buy a cheaper phone, You think there isnt one among us who if we didnt have the money would love to buy a flagship... get your head out the clouds mate.. I got 2 kids and a baby on the way. the chances of me having the money to spend on what amounts so a luxury and not even a real necessity is slim to none.. Just because we can't afford to get a better phone doesn't mean we don't have the right to bemoan it when there is little development.. if you notice nobody is criticising anyone we are all just sad that there is little to no development. sure we can learn ourselves and if I ever have a free moment I'm sure it would be a priority..
so before you jump on someone's complaint again maybe you should take 2 seconds to think about them rather than anything else

I have four kids of my own and living pay check to paycheck, my G pro got damaged and the best I could afford is the 610 also. I don't like the entitlement attitude where someone needs to cook you a ROM and HTC sucks because you could only afford the Desire. I bought this phone knowing there was little development, I'm not the one posting rants about it.

You know...i read your comment last nite & like MANY others it rubbed me the wrong way. But, i gave u the benefit of the doubt and kept quiet because Ive unfortunately replied without thinking in the past. But after your weak attempt at justifying how youre right and everyone else is wrong...i think i actually DO know who im dealing with. And no matter what arguments people make youll just keep going. Torchwolfery got it right. I have nothing more to add.
I am always right, I'm glad we can all agree. :highfive:

2 points..
1 no one said anything bout htc sucking we siad it sucks that the phone wont likely get android 5.0 and i think its fair to say that sucks or are you not interested in getting it to your phone?
2 what sense of entitlement are you talking about? Since when did complianing about something become a bad thing... pointing out that it sucks that there is no development for our device, is just that. Pointing out it sucks...
now before you want to start comparing lifes and how much worse off you are than anyone else, maybe you need to get off that high horse. Some of us here have tried developing with this device with very little sucess and in my opinion and others too, it sucks that none of the good or experiance developers can help us... its not about the quality of the device cause im sure i speak for most when i say that its actually a bloody good phone....
Now before you make another knee jerk reply i want you to understand, my original comment was not aimed at you speficially but at the attituded I have seen on a lot of these threads... we keep talking about community but that community seems very focused on the high end or popular phones, this is not a critisism just a fact. So if we want to have a whinge about the fact that there is no development then just let us get it out there because no matter the reason it still doesnt change that fact that IT SUCKS!!!
I never said I was worse off than anybody else, I was just pointing the fact I can't just go out and buy a flagship phone either.
1. When you buy a low end phone, don't expect long term support and flagship like development at XDA. If you're into flashing ROMs always check XDA before buying a phone. You can find some decent discounted phones with an active development scene. Nexus 4, G2, HTC M7 to name a few.
2. Maybe it was just me to not sir around and wait for someone else to give me what I want. If I wanted CM11 bad enough I would try and figure out how to port it myself. I've been meaning to make a fully debloated stock ROM and post it in the dev section whenever I get around to it. I'm fine with stock rooted and using xposed.
Before I got the 610 I was using the Hauwei Fusion 3, now talk about a dead dev scene.

Screen bleed?

Just setup my phone and it appears that there maybe screen bleed on either side of the display. It's really noticeable, especially on the home screen either side of the Google search bar and also any icons on the outer edge of the display.
If you grab an icon and drag it up and down the side of the display, you can see a small line of light from the icon on the outer edge of the display where it joins the aluminium frame.
Me and my bro both got the same model and same colour (S9+ coral blue, uk) and it's the same on both.
Just wondering whether it maybe the releftion from the frame as it protrudes more than the S8+ I'm using now. Also the finish of the fame is a different colour and finish.
Anybody else noticed this at all?
Well seen as how no body has replied thought I'd show a video.

I'll be on the lookout when mine arrives. I agree that it does not look normal.
Not gonna lie. That's about the worse video to show a problem lol if it's an issue just return it. Bound to be some bad ones out there.

Clearly showed the issue for me. I've had that same issue with other Galaxy phones. My note 7 was really bad! It's more than a case of, "just a few bad ones" I'm sure there would be many more complaints of this issue if people knew what to look for.

It's easy to see what the issue is. So regardless of the video not being a cinema experience, it clearly demonstrates the problem with the light bleed.
Having a look around seems that the issue has been seen on S8, S8+ and the note 8. There are other videos of the issue on YouTube just not with the S9+
Crap, I have the same problem.
Edit:
I did some digging and found out that this is not an issue. This is only reflection.
I installed Check My Pixels 2 and noticed that the "light leak" was reflecting the same color from the app.

Nothing is wrong with the video and this issue is more than just a few bad ones. It's been on all their phones work curved screens. I don't understand why you are putting down the OP'S video and post over a real concern. More people need to be aware of it. I bet it's more widespread than you realize.

I agree with your comments especially in regards to not knowing what to look for. My brother didn't even notice it until I shown him.
I've read about it being the way the light reflects with the curved display, I have my S8+ now an it doesn't have the same
Issue. It's really distracting once you notice it especially if your in a dim lit environment.

AMOLED can't have light bleed. Light bleed is the backlight of an LED or LCD screen shinning through. Normally thru the sides or corners. What your seeing is the same thing you would see if you take any phone and tilt it to the same angle as the edge displays. Your seeing the glass and reflection in that glass at a different wave length I find it funny that your calling me ignorant while trying to argue an issue that the phone can't have. A simple Google could have saved you that trouble.
