Silly. I've never understood why people want a theme that looks like another device/OS....... You are either running ICS or you are not. (And hopefully we'll be running it someday early next year) :) But, if it makes you happy to pretend, then go for it, my friend.

Re: Photon battery lasts only 3 hours, CPU pegged at 100%!!!!!!!! No, you have it backwards. They "un"-installed widgetlocker to fix the drain.

Why do you say that? Facts and details, please .... I've had all 3, BTW, and think all 3 are great phones.

I have Seidio on mine - it fits your description. I prefer that type too and have used Seidio for years. seidioonline.com .

The OP said he didn't want that one. He's asking about alternatives.

From my phone, went to Market, My Apps, selected SU, clicked Uninstall; then re-installed in the same way. (I use SU v3 and bought the Elite add-on, so did it for both) I'd never heard of nor used widgetlocker, and from looking at it on Market, not convinced it has enough downloads/reviews...

Well, although a colossal PITA, the OTA is working fine now. Started with stock rooted. Nothing modded or deleted. Took forever to download and install - 16 hrs - needed a battery pull. Ran OCR - Root Check said I'm not rooted. Then got the "SU binary out of date"; SU failed to update when I...

I've had mine 6 or 8 weeks and have always used a screen protector - had Sprint install one of their cheap generic ones in the store and then ordered a good one (Seidio). Just noticed a couple of small scratches on the protector today - don't know if whatever caused it would have scratched the...

If you buy them at Sprint, they will usually install them free. Best buy will install them for a fee ($8 IIRC, which makes total price of a Zagg a ridiculous $28!) I find Zagg to be very time consuming and messy to install - but ended up with a perfect install on my Xoom. My first Zagg for a...

As long as I sometimes use my Photon outdoors, it will have a screen protector on it (good ones installed correctly don't have bubbles). Gorilla glass is not, nor IIRC has Corning ever claimed it to be, scratch-proof. Scratch-resistant, yes. It would have to be diamond-like to be scratch proof.

(I always get my phones thru Sprint and keep insurance on them for a least a few months.) What kind of standard $0 warranty do you get from BB? More than 14 days? Knowing BB, they of course offer an extended warranty - how much do they charge for it? I think your chance of getting a better...

I have both the Commuter and Surface cases for my (now my wife's) EVO 3D. I switched mostly because of holster availability for the Surface. I carry my phone in a holster when wearing jeans on the weekend, and without holster in my shirt pocket during the week at work. The thing I did not...

Since my earlier posts, I did get the Photon Surface case and holster. (Fits fine and I'd recommend it) I tried the Photon and its Surface case in the EVO 3D Surface holster. It fits just fine except that the spring-loaded clip at the top is just a bit taller than the case (the EVO case is a...

What did you buy? From whom? What are you trying to do? Unlock the phone on US GSM carriers? I suspect you wasted your money on something you don't need and that won't work.

E4GT and Photon both have an internal "SD card" (EVO does not), so you can't move apps to a real SD card. One would hope that devs and/or ICS can fix this as it's the new normal.
