Android on Virtualbox

Android on Virtualbox

Testing "how it looks" a Android system without a mobile phone?
What you need is:
Android @ http://www.android-x86.org/download
Virtualbox @ http://www.virtualbox.org/

Them you can taste all Android system on you pc without a mobile some screens from my Virtualbox:
The screen on Virtualbox
The first screen on Android
If this was a touch screen slide to the top to unlock the phone
The main screen of Android with the small dots give you 4 virtual areas for apps groups
Slide left/right or touch the dots
Adding apps to virtual area
Virtual area with some apps
Removing apps from virtual area, click to highlight and the small bin will appear
Phone app lunch to make a call I think if you configure this will work with voip but not tested
Lunch Google maps app, this is a small preview of the Android system to test this your self install on your pc windows/mac/linux virtual box run in all of them, to install go here for Android go here for Virtualbox go here.

Ubuntu 11.04 beta Unity bar and Compiz manager

 Ubuntu 11.04 beta Unity bar and Compiz manager

The default settings of Unity bar is a bite too much for my taste but you can change them with "CCSM" "CompizConfig Settings Manager",first you have to install this using the software center, by clicking on the shutdown icon and select system settings,
this will open the control center,

navigate to system and select Ubuntu software center, and type compiz,
and select the "ccsm" advanced desktop effects settings, after install go back to system settings by clicking on the shutdown icon, in control center under  personal you have the "ccsm" advanced desktop effects settings, by default  you only have 4 virtual desktops but this can be changed too in "ccsm"
too change the virtual desktops from 4 to 9 click in general options, and click in desktop size tab,
slide the vertical or horizontal or both,
and you will have more virtual desktops, change  the size of the icons in the unity bar, in "ccsm" click in unity icon and experimental bar and slide the bar to the left and the icons will change from the default 48 to 32,
the decoration of windows are black on mine i have change for blue or any other color, and you can see the new Ubuntu have a new slider on windows.
