Got bored of painting xbox 360 controllers and cases, tried my evo..
Opinions?
Steps:
1 Disassemble phone (Take off back cover, unscrew frame)
2 mask off non paint areas
3 sand
4 primed painted with Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter (3 light coats)
5 painted color (Krylon Fusion 3 light coats)
6 painted clear coat(Krylon Fusion 3 light coats)
7 reassembled.
In my opinion, you need a new camera. Or maybe I need to get my eyes checked. I'd ask for a second opinion.

Yea, sorry for the **** camera quality :/
Hmmmm....if only there was red carbon fiber dinoc. ;(
Looks good, but slightly to much like the red xbox controller for my tastes.
i guess the thread title was "check the quality of my camera"
phone looks good. Glad to see you made it your own.

Yeah, I wanted to get a glossy paint like underneath the kickstand.
The paint was too expensive as it was automotive paint... but i think it came out pretty good.

Orange peel much? Maybe its the camera but it looks like the finish on a refrigerator.
hats off for the idea tho. But I like black personally lol.
ehh its ok to me but i like the stock better in my opinion i guess i like my electronics clean looking
The camera doesn't do it justice, it actually is very slick and works well with the red inside and under the kickstand..ect..
i love it
what kind of paint did you use?
how did you paint the sides?
Edit:btw it looks great love the red,but im just lookingto color the saids.
Don't pay any attention to those that bash! They have their insecurities that need to be displaced by putting others down. This planet would be much better without them!
Like the saying goes: "mean people suck"!

i changed the smd 0603 leds under the home, back and menu buttons. (soldering looks more messy in my picture).
very easy to do if you have had experience with 0603 components. what do you guys think.
Good job, looks nice!
good job brah! very impressive.
can I ask what the part numbers you used for the LEDs?

The plan was to check using the led I took off(they have a tiny arrow on the bottom.) But also the board is marked under the led with a bracket to show the negative. So just solder the led with the arrow aiming towards that
I don't have a streak... yet... but this mod is sweet. So much better then seeing white all the time... makes me wonder if there is a way I can do similar on my hero.
Thanks for the info on polarity arrows for SMDs as well. Thats once less thing to google now!

Is this kind of mod possible on the Nexus? How great would this be!! lol good job btw, it looks awesome....

sorry but the logical question that comes to my mind is ....why ??
I thought different led's drew different amps thus requiring you to also swap out the resistors.

Here's another concept for your back cover.
We already have the chrome style, now we have the carbon style
Made in 10 minutes with 3M carbon vinyl.
What do u think?
Looks nice
question. isn't the reason for the metal battery cover that metal dissipates heat better than plastics? so covering it with a plastic would cause the phone to heat up more?

I think not. I have no problem with that so far and my battery life is good, it also depends of which rom u use.
Nice. But its already been done.

My phone has a back cover that is made out of actual carbon fiber. I guess it pays to have a friend working as a machinist for a racing team.

So i just got my refurb a week later.
I noticed some things...
1) The plastic it came with had a little hole for the FFC lol.
2) the camera band-outside is green instead of clear like my old one... is this a different camera or something?
and....
IT HAS 2.2!!!!!!!!!!!
A modified phone? you should change it again, or stay if you like FFC?

the camera's on refurb/replacement phones have this little blue platsic stuff to protect the camera bezel in travel. it's not a solid sheet, it's just a "ring".
is that supposed to be funny because tmo screw you over ? PPP j/k

Taught it would be a good idea compared to an expensive microscope cam and it works like a charm (with a home made plastic adapter made from a case).

Red cells have hemoglobin, a protein(metallo-protein actually). The hemoglobin forms has an affinity for oxygen and it forms oxyhemoglobine. Besides a slight change in color ( a bit lighter than if they would be carrying CO2), you can't really see the red cells carrying oxygen.

really ? Or was it a joke because I always taught that some doctor could see the video and find out I have something...
And yes, it's just the sgs2 mounted on top, the adapter just makes it stay the perfect distance and angle.
Be useful if microscope could be connected to the XDA search button .

Here's a guide for anyone with the T-Mobile leather back....
1. go to your local auto store, pick up a container of these babies:
autozone.com/interior-detailing-and-car-care-products/leather-care/meguiar-s-gold-class-leather-conditioner-wipes/347845/?_requestid=6961366
******this link will not work on your phone. instead, google Meguiar's/Gold Class leather conditioner wipes
2. Before going to bed..... Take the back off your phone and hold it along the edges with one finger through the camera cutout
3. Rub one of these wipes over the leather... use a medium pressure, nothing too hard, but enough force where you feel you're "cleaning" the leather.
4. WITHOUT TOUCHING THE LEATHER, lay the case leather side up for 6 hours (why I said do it before bed). Make sure the leather looks wet, but there are no streaks. I find its best to finish the application with a circular motion.
5. Wake up, put phone back together, and feel greatness :good:
Pro Tip:
1. Repeat on Days 3,4 and 5 consecutive.
2. After the 5th day, repeat "treatment" once a week.
3. Profit like a mother F

like butter. seriously, it feels much softer, and it darkened the color too which i like. looks more like leather. this is a pic from right after a treatment. doesn't keep this layer of shine the next morning...
