Re: Manila Theme (HOT!!!)
Ok, after playing with this thing for the last few hours Ive come to the final assessment that its a GREAT visual interface but not so smoothe on the back end. I think the concept was great and I give MAD KUDOS to the maker but its a little difficult and time consuming to adjust than I would like for my taste. Now I cant say that without giving examples...
1. With the exception of 3 button NONE of the program buttons map correctly (atleast not on my device) ie I push the play music button it auto launch S2P instead of just playing from that screen. Neither of the volume keys are mapped. I push mute, it turns volume on entire device off but tapping again does not restore it, i have to actually hit my sound icon to turn it back on.
2. You have to manually add and edit each and every contact, not only by editting the contact.txt file but also the actual contact pic therefore you cud never easily just change your favorite 9 contacts direct from your device. And once I edited the pics and placed my own in its place, the pic showed in the large photo area however it removed the small pic from the side that u actually click on
3. the bottom nav bar doesnt actually slide (like throttlelauncher) u have to tap each icon
4. in settings when i change the wallpaper, it changes but once u soft reset it goes back to the default wallpaper
5. u have to manually create your music album pics. i dunno bout anyone else but i have like 1000 songs on my mem card....theres noway im creating pics for all those and the standard album cover looks completely deformed when it shows in the window without editting it.
6. when pressing the option to call one of the fav 9 people from the manilla screen, it doesnt direct dial, it takes me to the confirm calling this number page which makes my keyboard auto pop up...every time.
7.And as I said before, its a little laggy, actually mine is VERY laggy
8. after soft reset the text (showing date and missed calls and name of tab) blacks itself out and doesnt reappear until u tap to change tabs
Now these may be minor issues for someone else but there a little annoying to me so I decided to go back to my old diamond skin but I still think its a visually great skin and I would be happier as yuck duck (lol) to use it later on once some of the bugs and kinks are worked out. You can tell that the creator took alot of time in trying to get everything mapped right but some things just didnt work. Call me lazy but right now its just too much stuff to have to do manually for my taste. Im a new age girl, I like tap and click method. Again this is my personal taste, just wanted to give a little insight on some of the "glitches" to let people know
