ACER ICONIA SMART: A POCKET CINEMA?

By Anonymous -



A few years ago manufacturers try to make phones as small as possible. Time has changed today people are requesting bigger phones with a nice large screen, that is suitable for searching the web and watch a movie.




Sony Ericsson has the Xperia Arc with a 4.2 "model, HTC has built a 4.3" screen in the Desire HD and Samsung has announched for the United States, a 4.5" device. But the greatest of them all is , at least so far, from Acer: the Iconia Smart has a screen diameter of 4.8".

The problem with a 4.8" screen is that is fairly wide for the average pocket. That's the reason why Acer has chosen an aspect ratio of 21:9, the same as which movies are recorded and also the same ratio as the Cinema Philips TVs.

Both the 4.8" screen as the ratio of 21:9 are not uncommon in the telecommunications market. LG presented last year at CES a prototype of a smartphone with an Intel Moorestown processor and a 4.8" screen. This Moblin-smartphone disappeared soon back of LG's roadmap, as Intel and Nokia on MeeGo switched. Before that LG already released the BL-40, with a 21:9 screen with a diagonal of 4".

Here is the collection of my modded widgets. They only work with HDPI devices. All you need to do is flash them over through recovery OR ADB push them to your device, remember to also remove the corresponding apps before doing so. These are not regular APK files so don't try to install through Astro or anything like that, it will NOT work. If you would like for me to mod a widget/app that's not in the collection do get in contact with me, there will be a fee for custom mods. Also I'll be updating the apps regularly so keep up to date with my Twitter where the updates will hit first! Whole collection [ROOT needed] -  Download Apps that can be installed regularly, no root needed. Install through Astro File Manager - There are only two signed apps from the collection so far [Non-Root], LauncherPro Astrid [Credit to arland for signing the apps]
