SeaSprite over at our forums has gone and ported Maderin1s Simply blue theme from the S:Flo over to the Onda VX787, ok well maybe ported is the wrong word as Seasprite did mention he had to re make most of the stuff to fit the VX787, so i guess inspired would be the better word for this theme. Anyways it does look quite nice (much nicer than the default look of the VX787) Check out and download the theme

Forum member SeaSprite has come out with another wonderful theme, this time emulating the pretty theme of the RAmos T8. This is a far cry from the bleaker default theme that comes with the Onda VX787 normally. Jump on over to our forums and check out more images and to download it. Goto forum post

So i got bored today and decided to open up the new Onda VX787 sample i got yesterday. Nothing of any real surprise, however the images do suggest that the screen maybe a capacitive screen after all. Anyways enjoy the below pictures and yes i was able to put it back together and it still works ;) The case was actually quite easy to open, i had issues opening the VX767 case before. I was impressed to see such a nice clean finish for the circuit board, however i wasn't surprised, Onda tends to have higher manufacturing standards that the average MP4 maker.

Overall the player is quite solid, it isn't however, for a touch screen player, in the same league as the S:Flo, its more like an advanced version of the VX777 with a bit better UI. Now the sample we got has the firmware that will most likely be on the first VX787 that go on sale in China. It is stable, but it has many bugs, some noticable during the video review. The audio is good, like that of other rk2706 based player, the ID3 bug that was on the SFLO doesn't seem to be on this player, which is good. There is no coverflow at all, basically only the center image changes, all those albums on the side stay the same. The firmware doesn't support album art right now, but future update will add it. The touch sceeen for the most part can be used with a finger but some options are pretty
