just a little something. I tried themeing stock gallery that came with 1.9.1, and nothing stuck. Really strange, plus the top bar is all screwed on that stock one. I themed the fixed gallery I linked to yesterday.
there's really not a whole lot to theme here. The one think that gets me is the blurry background, I will research if its possible to keep it one solid focused picture.
works on low and high res.
the top title bar thing, was still a little tough to get aligned, seems to be a problem with many devices I think. looks nice ok in the 160dpi screenshots, but over 200 theres a tiny bit of mismatch, close enough for now.
not much to say, try it out and enjoy.
I'm ready to order this sick tablet, i know it has a lot of issues but i still want it but my question is, which one looks better the amethyst gray or champaign gold? Should i get the 64gb or 32gb ?
i would go with the grey always a better color in my opinion and i highly reccomend 64gb version i order the 32 and wish i ordered the 64gb version because i loaded 3 movies on it on my apps some ebooks and im already up to about 16gb used. Also remeber when you order 32gb you can only use 27gb of that so with the 64gb you really get about 659gb
I say get the amethyst gray.I have the 32gb gray version & I love it.As far as the 64gb goes I would just buy a micro SD card,class 4 or 6 will be fine.
That's a funny question to ask when people can't even agree on what color Amethyst Grey really is and have compared "Champagne" to urine. If you can, try to see them in person. If not, flip a coin.
I like the green one.
This is personal. Y u no get that?
hey I am looking at a car, should I go with a truck or a minivan?
Really, this question is about as ill thought out as the OP. Don't ask questions that are personal opinion. Which color do you like better? Look at the pictures and decide. how much memory should you get? How do we know what you are gonig to do with it. General surfing, email, and general use 32 gb is great. If you want something for 1000 1080p movies then you might want to think about the larger memory. Really, I cannot believe you would waste peoples time with this kind of question.
I think in addition to the "thanks" Tab we need the "stupid post" tab
Sorry rant over
from what I hear
The grey is 10% faster than the gold. That's just how it is
Purple has higher energy than gold in the electromagnetic spectrum so it will run faster
The gold is "limited edition." It's worth more.
Plus it will get you laid.
I've seen both, the grey is purple and the champagne is more grey colored. Weird stuff, really.
I don't think the grey is purple at all
Champagne tastes better than amethysts. Better go with the champagne.
Though if it's looks we're talking about, personally I'm getting Amethyst Grey.

In certain lights I guess you can see a purplish tint not too noticeable though
I have the grey and it is purple looking... but it looks awesome.
Gold is worth more than "Silver" or whatever worthless metal that grey can represent. haha

Platinum says hello!
I have a Champagne tablet and an Amethyst docking station, because that's the only color of each one I could get right away. Was originally planning to sell the docking station when I could get the Champagne one, but I really like the combination the way I have it now.
The Amethyst gray is kinda dark, and a strong tinge of the purple color, and works well as the docking station color (kind of "grounds" the base unit if you're using artsy talk). The Champagne color is very light, very little gold tinge to it, and a nice color for the tablet unit.
I don't think you'd be disappointed with either color

Good find, lets hope its true
Will not be amused if this is available a week after I get the blue one.
come on guys, this is just a site that does 3d animations for phones. Did you really think that samsung would not have announced a black version?

Neither will I However I think the listing could well be a mistake colour-wise. When I was looking at pre-orders, there were a couple of places that had white or black listed as colour options, but later corrected to white or blue. I think the blue should be dark enough in real life to pass as nearly black anyway.

Looks like the blue version to me.
Looks blue to me too
looks like blues clues to me i dont know about black..you know that fruit company might sue again
Also they don't even list the blue, which is a bit strange.
I'm calling BS
According to Eldar Murtazin, later it will be available in black too.
Article: http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-galaxy-s3-fl-en.shtml
"Initially only two colors will be available - Marble White and Pebble Blue. Later on the lineup will be expanded and we will get a black phone among others."

Probably the crappy US Carrier versions.
Eldar Murtazin told me on twitter that the black version will be available for Christmas. Well, i want it so much, but i'm not going to wait :|
I have always had a black phone so ive decided this time it's gonan be different,i want the marble white SGS3 but the blue one looks really nice as well i just cant make up my mind.
Seems immeasurably stupid not to include a black version at launch. It harks back to the days of kids running around with bright red Nokia Xpress-on covers and potentially alienates a large portion of the market who want a sleek, back, professional looking phone - not a teenager's fashion accessory.
The inclusion of things like S-Voice are the kinds of things that look great in a shop but you end up never using in practice. For the same reason it boggles the mind why Samsung didn't give the option of a black version; part of the reason AMOLED screens look so impressive is the near seamless transition between black on-screen and a black bezel, made possible by AMOLED's superior contrast.
I had a very reaction when i saw the white and blue versions at the presentation. I hate white phones and thought the blue looked horribly cheap. Ive now seen a blue one in the flesh and its nothing like as bad as i feared. Its actually quite smart looking.
Many of the images of it make it look a lot lighter than it actually is. The front looks black in most lights an the pattern on the back is almost like metal.
I would still prefer a black phone though.
its the blue one!
I first experimented with a few different colors on my old nexus s 4g, and settled on Krylon Fusion Buttercream for my new EVO.
It works for me.
Looks nice!
"We're coming from a pure power source."
I hope the paint doesn't have any conductive properties (many do).
white? lol
In my opinion I dislike it. But the paint job looks well done. I am not daring enough to do that.

Looks good, but I'd be interested to find a matching matte black like the bottom. I have a couple friends who are auto painters, so I might have it done when I get mine. We'll see. The shiny black might grow on me.
Looks great aside from the color. Try flat black
What the glossy plastic wasn't ugly enough? LOL
Hey as long as you like it that's all that matters!
To each his own. I don't know why people want to mess with the top part so bad. I think it looks fantastic just the way it is.
But that doesn't look that bad. Could've gone with a dark purple though.
<-------------
I think it looks nice in its own way how did u do it op? Nvu gonna try a diff color?
It went from ugly to fagly!!!!

Thank you! I think I'm the only one that things the contrasting colors AND contrasting surfaces (matte/glossy) on the back is hot. Didn't anyone learn anything in Art class? Contrast people.
I teach HS and already, day 2 of having it, people are saying "Oh wow what is that? That is live!" Instead of "That looks like every other phone."
While the paintjob is well done, I don't agree with the choice of color. Did you at least sand the cover before you painted?

I agree. I think they pulled off the contrast very well, particular because of the red band. But your right. The phone looks sleek and different, but in a good way.
What I also like is that it was a bold design move. Not many are willing to break the conceptual mold that a phone is suppose to look like.
Do a test, go out in public, whip out the phone with its huge screen and contrasting back with a red band. People notice. What is that? Damn straight.

I did sand it first as I was following a post from another thread, and intended to just leave it sanded. I didn't like the result. Mine didn't look as good as the posted sanded phone, so I painted it.
I didn't mind the glossy black color at all, just hated the constant fingerprints. My old glossy black backed nexus didnd't seem to leave fingerprints as bad this EVO.
Believe me when I say that I had no intention of going the "buttercream" route at all. I had 4 colors of Krylon Fusion in the house and tried them all on my old Nexus S. Flat black, satin white, buttercream, and a light green.
For some reason the buttercream in person looked best to me, and best of all, no more fingerprints. I don't mind the derogatory comments posted by some as my wife gave me crap too before seeing the finished phone. The photo was taken from my work blackberry so it isn't the best and looks much better live.
I just thought I would post it as so many talk about changing the back, yet nobody has/does....... well I did for better or worse.

nice job
not lol
but yea it does look like crap. white red and black?
yea I dont like the factory shiney top part either. I will probably just sand blast it at work to give it a matte finish
What kills me about this photo is the phone is sitting on top of a case.SMH
Just busting your balls OP.. Although I wouldn't a painted it that color, it wasn't my choice. Good job

I had the chance to see all the colors in person and I gotta tell you, they're not properly represented by pictures and renders.
First of all, the "not pink" is really very pink. It's just a lie to say it's not pink. And it's not even an attractive shade of pink. It's a faded pink that looks almost like a dingy white.
Speaking of white, I usually pass on this color, but this white is super crisp. It has a very high quality look and feel to it. Plus, it partially wraps around to the front of the device, giving it a bit of a two tone look from the front that helps it stand out from all the other white phones.
Finally, the black. Well, here's where I was a bit disappointed. I assumed the frosted glass area was the same shade of gray like the pixel 2, but it really has more of a brownish, charcoal look to it. It's very hard to describe, but it looks like a cheap sticker and is quite ugly in person. If you hold it off axis, then the light can make it look a little more gray again, but when viewed directly, it's like a dingy gray that needs to be polished or have its moisture restored like the trim of a car.
Anyway, just thought I would share for those of you who might be in the fence about the colors. I pre-ordered the black, and regret my decision, but since I will be using a skin on it, it's not worth changing.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I just want to talk about the color of "not pink." I think Google did not lie when they said "not pink" because you say " It's a faded pink that looks almost like a dingy white "
big regards

Lol, well, if I had to use a single color to describe it, then it's pink, and definitely not, "not pink" ?
