New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

yes, i know

txts rule calling droolz

get w/the program grandpas!

I think...

I think you guys...

use phones differently

if anyone tries to call me i will murder them!

so intrusive, no manners

I'd use airplane mode but I'm playing networked Carcasonne ffs

If you're in wifi range, turn it on to airplane mode then turn wifi on. That way you can use Internet but not be interrupted by texts or calls.

ppl who text back immediately intimidate me. same reason I dont like to use AIM a lot

txts rule calling droolz

otm I get annoyed now when ppl leave me a voicemail

We really need deferred text sending, just to make sure no one responds in the near term, right?

omg voicemails are the worst i never listen to voicemail

yeah i havent listened to a voicemail in years

I never listen to voicemails but I get mad when ppl dont listen to mine

just jailbreak your phones and you can have all the features you want.

my phone

my phone is much more functional now that its jailbroken, proper notifications, proper multi-tasking...much more usable not that its not a glorified touch.

plus the ability to have more than 8 items in a folder.

Oh man, I agree that third-party extensions may have better notifications and such, but your phone UI looks like straight-up cluttered ass to me, man.

haha, i like it that way. a lot of people go for the minimalistic approach on the home screen huh? For someone who is OCD, i need it this way.

I am crazy as shit but I just end up with messiness everywhere so I appreciate things being minimal and clean as hell on my phone

and the clutter to me is organized. my wife has got things all out of folders all over pages, drives me batshit.

i've farted around with different mimimalistic approaches to the home screen and i just felt that things i needed involved too much fucking around and flipping pages.

Reminds me of my chillout room at home, I don't have to look for any of the recent music/magazines/movies I've been fucking with because they're all right there on the floor

see thats funny, because to me it's organized....my phone.

I recently put tons of stuff in folders but I find clicking on a folder then clicking on an app not much better than swiping quickly 2 pages to get to an app, so I've gone back to a hybrid where all the stuff I use regular gets it's own page, and less common stuff is grouped into folders.

hmm...yes that does make sense.

I think of it like that study about people with messy desks being organized, because everything is piled up in sight and they know where it is and it's sorted by how recent it is and not filed away all organized and alphabetized. Somehow I know that I just swipe over 2 screens to get to the stuff I want to read, but if I want a remote control for my audio software I go digging in the music folder.

so very true

ok i just re-organized because MH called my interface ASS. Haha.

Still too cluttered?

Oh man, I didn't mean to harsh your theme choice, but I mostly thought the theme wasn't really to my taste and the lock screen looked crowded.

Like I can't figure out why it's showing anything at all when you don't have a SMS, Mail message, or Missed call.

ah see i like my lock screen that way, plus it helps for work. ive been playing around with themes a lot, there aren't very many nice ones for a 3gs. and im also testing out that plug-in for notifications...typically i use intelliscreen which only puts stuff on the lockscreen when i have some things.

i love this lockscreen design, just too much work.

ah figured it out. had to hide those in my prefs, that annoyed me too!

much cleaner.

Yeah, I saw that one a while back and was kind of impressed. I'm also on a 3gs, but just don't care enough to fuck with jailbreaking and installing extra shit.

i like this one?

jailbreaking literally took all of 3 minutes.

the main reason i jailbroke it was for BiteSms, which has quick reply, which is fucking great.

They keep up on new versions pretty quickly these days, right? I just didn't care to keep up on what had/hadn't been jailbroken, etc.

I've also had iOS 4.3 installed for a while now and am too attached to the new streaming.

yeah they get updated quick.

chris i think your first screen was fine and quite neat. Id move the folders to the bottom of the page but thats just me. I like your icons. It doesnt look like a toddler who has been eating crayons all day puked on your screen like mine does.

why doesn't he just use airplane mode when he's being important cant be interrupted guy on his iphone? (xp)

i think the idea is to make something that works better or you know just works - airplane mode or jailbreak customizations or w/e are hacky approaches that should ideally be unnecessary

I don't jailbreak mine because I like my phone to be reliable and work and etc BUT as a decades-old Linux fanboy I love that jailbreaking exists and that it's come so far and continues to keep up. All of this screenshots make me quiver iirc.

I'd be down with that notification scheme. Better then the webOS-esque one everyone was blogging about a week or two ago.

my phone is reliable and works like the day i bought it.

yeah that mobilenotifier thing didn't work with bitesms, so i got rid of it.

xp The one that shares a screen with Spotlight? Yeah, it's the only one I've seen so far that isn't shithouse in some way (and even then the initial pop-up bar at the bottom is horrible).

I'm still a bit weird about iphone jailbreaking because I've had friends who would have to restart their phones twice a day.
