yes it doesnt work, but maybe some tweaks may do it. but the 3d message viewer works and its cool!

Shame the birthday reminder is based on the contact info rather than what is in the calendar...

ofcourse it does. otherwise you have to repeat manually and every year the birthdates in your calendar...

You clearly dont know how to set up a recurring diary entry in Outlook. Get your facts right before posting.

COOL...!!!

is battery drain? I use it but it's drain my battery. How about yours?

No noticeable drain in my case.

I just downloaded it and I already love it!
It looks good, but it does give tearing when I use the carrousel.
My battery is draining faster too.

Confirm, there's a big battery drain. charged 100%, go to bed, wake up and phone is either off or with 2% battery left
it seems it doesn't stand-by properly when you hit the off button.
Anyone has a solution? because its very beautiful and useful, now we got finally portrait-landscape mode and the virtual hold button. but with the huge battery-drain, its almost useless

I've been running 3.5 for almost three weeks with no additional battery drain. can only assume the problem is related to other software installed on individual handsets, since otherwise our phones are all identical.

I uninstalled the software, reinstalled again and for a couple of days no battery drain. then, battery drain again
even with restart. can be caused by the hold button?

No excessive battery drainage here.

I have excessive during the night. During the day the phone stays at almost the same percentage.

[JOURNAL] The making of: a Launcher

Today I began to make an old idea into reality: a new, lightweight launcher.
The basic idea was derived from iPhone: an easy-to-use menu, without a home screen (thus light-weight).
So basically, this won't be the favorite of the people, as it does not include widget support, or anything like that. Just a bunch of icons, and a bottom dock (what is editable of course).
After mixing the good features of the latest launchers (ADW, LauncherPro, TouchWiz, original Froyo, Donut launchers), I came to a feature list:
- Pages of icons instead of a list
- Page indicator dots (top or bottom)
- Icons get background like iOS (or like TouchWiz)
- Icons are placed based on position - new app goes to the end (not alphabetically ordered - like in TouchWiz3 Launcher, layout loaded from an XML file)
- A nice clock screen (this one is my idea - to have a clean area, where are no icons, just a clock, maybe with weather and music player, and with notifications)
- Use labels if possible (so the GMail account will have an incoming messages circle at the top, just like messaging and Phone (for missed calls, etc).
- Customization by skins - icons can be replaced with a custom theme, and this time, the app icons aren't loaded (lightweight!!!!)
- Customization by settings - select layout style (4/4 or 4/5 icon layout, page indicator position and color)
- Settings backup to SD card
After this list, I made a little mockup what shows how I imagined iLauncher:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What you can see here:
- The basic layout
- Page indicator circles on top (first page - clock, second page (current) - icons, third page -icons)
- Incoming indicators on icons (GMail and messaging)
- Running background process indicator (Google Talk is running in the bg)
What you can't see here:
- Icon labels - it will be the usual icon label, nothing really big change
- Icon backgrounds - when the mockup was made, I did not decide whether to have them or not
- Anything else I forgot to include
Then, when the mockup was ready, I began working on the code.
As a beginning, I took a look at android-7's (Android 2.1 update 1) samples, namely the Home sample (actually, the whole current AppInfo/AppIcon class is from there). That gave a pretty nice look over the stuff, so I grabbed what I needed (the icon classes) and began working on the bottom dock.
More will come as I develop each bit of the app!
Please note:
I do NOT need help in this. This journal is merely a share of my experience what I got coding iLauncher. Any time I code a bit of it, I add here what I did, and what happened after.
If you want to help me even I told you I don't need it, you can do so by collecting tutorials, code samples on these:
- The (not so) random icon background - still haven't figured out how to add them based on icon color, etc
- The paging system (the whole page system, flipping around, needs to be done)
- Notification labels

I will test it for you.

Full Guide for Best Battery Saver

Hello guys! I'm new here, and sorry for my english mistakes, but I'm Brazillian member, and I will share some information about my actual Moto X XT1058, that I search about two weeks for save my battery, and now It's great!
When finish my setup, I charged up to full and the battery info now is:
48% - Not charging
1d2h14m
Screen - 25%
Phone - 17%
System - 11%
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* The important part is here, when screen use generally takes more than 60%.
** I use my phone on the day to talk with clients and Whatsapp (less whatsapp because I'm working ^^). And on the night time I use my Whatsapp with more frequency and listen to music.
1 - WHAT ROM
CyanogenMOD Nightly Version for MOTO X
Generally the ROM is not the important part, but if your ROM uses a kernel that have no way to make some system changes, than this will be a problem.
2 - GENERAL SETTINGS
Wifi - OFF
Bluetooth - OFF
Mobile Data - ON
Bright - Lower % - I will talk about the APP
Sync - OFF
Lock Screen - 15s
Rotation - OFF
Sound - Not vibrate
Notifications - Not vibrate
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* To vibrate the phone, requires more battery than to play a song, than avoid to set vibration.
3 - SYSTEM CHANGES
On CyanogenMOD, you go to:
Settings -> System -> Performance
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- On Performance Profile menu, set the profile to 'Economy' in default its on 'Balanced'.
- Above the profile settings, you have to DISABLE the 'Activate profile by APPs'.
- On System Performance, go to Processor, and change:
Governator -> 'Ondemand'
Minimum Frequency -> '384 Mhz'
Maximum Frequency -> '1350 Mhz'
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* The maximum Frequency seted here is more than suficient for my use, but you can adequate for yours.
4 - CLEAN UNUSED APPs
Here is a important part, but you have to stay calm and do not uninstall important system files or aplications.
To make that securely, I recommend to install the Titanium Backup, and you have to be ROOT.
Here is my list of the DISABLED things on my CyanogenMOD ROM, until now, I have no problem, and its stable
THEMES 1.0
THEMES PROVIDER
-- If you will use a custom theme, keep these above app and change the theme, and than you can uninstall

5 - INSTALL APPs
I have installed some APPs to keep my Moto X secure and fast, some paid services, but I think on my security in first place.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
JuiceDefender
- Enable the Advanced MODE
- Setting UP with your preference
- This APP have a ugly interface, but it Works and have a guide for all the features
- This have a feature to shutting down the own service when receive a SMS with your custom code, Its very useful to use with the Kaspersky Thief Service and others app that will use your GPS or Data mode.
- The feature of the Bright is too helpful for battery, keep that in mind.
- Bellow my JuiceDefender Settings, they are on PT-BR, but you can understand:

6 - GENERAL TIPS
- Avoid to use white or colorfull backgrounds, wallpaperks...because on the AMOLED screen they will use much more battery. I use a black and red wallpaper/lock screen, and a black wallpaper on whatsapp.
- Avoid to keep the music on when you are not listening.
- The Dashclock Widget with the Whatsapp Notifier, will prevent you to unlock the screen unnecessarily.
- The default bright on the Moto X is too high, and with the JuiceDefender the minimum bright are lower and more quality for your read on the day and night. A high bright on night and bed, can cause you sleeplessness problems.
7 - FINAL
Thanks for the atention, and this is a guide for people who want a better battery life.
I spend much time to understand all these things and make my best Moto X changes.
Have question? Feel free to ask.
Have more APPs to help on the battery saver? Share with us too.

8 - BATTERY SAVER APPs
I forgot to tell...my JuiceDefender Ultimate are crashing and stoped to work alone...this is bad. But on the Play Services have too many other Battery Saver APPs.
Another APP for battery in place of the buged JuiceDefender, that I recommend is:
Easy Battery Saver
But that is for your choice, and I think just the JuiceDefender have the bright control with the minimal % reduced.
If you want to install other Baterry APP, like the EBS, that not have bright control, I really recommend you to install these app:
