Windows 8 Transformation Pack now available for download

It's been a long time since last formidable release of Seven Transformation Pack. There isn't much we can do but wait patiently for something better to inspire us to work harder and do better. Now it's time to make new standards of the world's best Windows transformation packs....."Windows 8 Transformation Pack". It comes with self Metro configurator UI that can make everything done in one step, works on all editions of Windows XP/Vista/7, includes the latest Windows 8 features and themes with finest selection. Now you can uninstall Seven Transformation Pack and grab something better.




Keynotes
Completely Reworked Windows XP UI
I spent a great amount of time rebuilding Windows XP visual style to fit in XP fashion with Windows 8/Aero Lite/Metro altogether. It's my masterpiece and probably be the last theme I'll ever make for Windows XP. I named it "Metro Inspirat". Most UI elements are updated to Metro ones with Windows 8 Aero Lite resources. It's simple and yet elegant that can make old XP meets today's standards without help of Aero. I also rebuild themes for ViStart and TrueTransparency too. They look a lot better than before.



Windows 8 features
As name suggested Windows 8 Transformation Pack now comes with Windows 8 new features such as Metro Desktop, Auto colorization and User Tile on taskbar. I also configured program to set user tile image matching to current user picture and optimize default tiles in Metro desktop for 1024x768 resolution. These features require .NET Framework 4.0 to be installed so if you're using Windows XP, make sure you have it installed first.



One click does it all
Say goodbye to lenghy dialogs of information and configuration. After years of long development since Longhorn Transformation Pack. I finally came to realization of what really matters with user interactions. All you need to do is simply running the program and choose features you want and install in one dialog. If you want to change something back later, you can just run the same program again and change anything you want without trouble. Welcome Center is no longer needed with this method.



Amazing performance and flexibility for features customization
Back then people need to wait for 10-30 minutes to complete whole installation and having hard time customizing features later. Now we solve them all with simpler ways to use it. You can choose to enable or disable system files transformation at anytime you want. Program will keep resources and backup files ready to switch back and forth. Whole process can be done from 2 to 5 minutes at most. It's superb faster and more reliable with UAC friendly optimized so no more problems with system files and uninstall.



Actually, there're lots more to brag from backend side but it doesn't matter. As long as you guys can enjoy this at ease, that should be OK. I guess I finally can lay down for a while enjoying my birthday today and then I can start thinking about what to do with Lion Transformation Pack later after this. It should be easier and faster after finishing this ones so I hope I can release it soon.



Update: 26/08/2011

I've just upload a proper build to fix following the issues.

1. System files transformation failure in non-English OS (hexpatcher dialog stuff and improper/none changes in system resources).
2. Errors related to sound files in Windows\Media for Windows Vista (Though it worked fine in testing Vista Home Premium x86/x64 but I've refined for better method).

If you don't have any problems with stated fixes, you don't need to reinstall it. But regardless of your result, I suggest to keep this updated build in hand just in case.

Android Apps Come to Google TV With Software Release

With the new tools, developers can test their existing mobile or tablet Android applications in a big-screen environment, eventually porting them over to run on Google TV. It’s also possible to create new Android applications made specifically for Google TV.

“With the add-on you can test your apps to determine if they would be a good fit for TV and whether any tweaks are required,” wrote Google TV product manager Ambarish Kenghe in a blog post.

Apps made specifically to interact with mobile and tablet interfaces, however, won’t run on the Google TV interface. For instance, if an application requires touchscreen interaction, a Google TV user won’t be able to find the app on the Android Market.

Google’s “smart TV” platform received much attention and critical praise after debuting it at the I/O developer conference last year. But after major networks began to block online versions of their content to Google TV set top boxes right around the time of Google TV’s launch, the product failed to catch on widely with consumers. So much so that Logitech, one of the largest manufacturers of Google TV set top boxes, reported “slightly negative” revenues for its Revue Google TV units, as product returns outpaced sales in the second quarter.

Still, Google has a chance to bolster the Google TV platform’s following by cross-breeding it with Android, a platform with a far stronger fan base.

Google TV devices will be Android compatible after an upcoming Android OS update to version 3.0 (Honeycomb).

Motorola Defy + Android + Water Proof

The Defy+ — announced even as Google was acquiring Motorola — is a souped-up, super-sealed version of the Defy. It sports a faster processor (1GHz, rather than 800MHz), a longer lasting battery (1700mAh, up from 1540mAh) and the latest iteration of Android, Gingerbread 2.3. Everything else is pretty much the same, including the 5 megpixel camera with flash, the 2 gig memory and the microSD card slot.

The Motorola Defy+ is IP67 certified, which means it is hermetically sealed against dust or sand. You can even immerse it in 3 feet of water. Suddenly those late-night drunk bathroom breaks, which have taken the lives of countless phones, aren’t so risky. But perhaps the best thing about the Defy + is it doesn’t look like a rubbery waterproof toy.

It’s headed first to Germany, where customers can buy it beginning this month for 269 euros, or about $389, without a contract. Look for it in other European countries, Asia and Latin America soon. No word on when it comes to North America.

Much like other waterproof gadgets, you can’t go diving with it, but why would you want to? But if you’re thrown into the shallow end of the pool or drop it in the toilet, it should be OK.
