iOS 7 Beta 2 Running On iPhone 4

[DJLC]

People using beta 2 on iPhone 4, could you tell me which of this transparency effects are enabled?

-Messages, top menu portion.
-Messages, keyboard transparency.
-Springboard spotlight box.
-Notification Center (dont confuse with Control Center).
-Music app, top menu portion.

¿Are this transparencies the same quality as seen on iPhone 4S and iPhone 5?

-Messages, top menu: Yes.
-Messages, keyboard: No?
-Springboard Spotlight: No.
-Notification Center: Yes?
-Music app: Yes?

Attaching screen grabs of iOS7, Beta 2 on my iPhone 4 (GSM 3,1) since I'm not sure how it compares to a 4S or 5. And since the max number of attachments is 5, apparently, here's a link to a shot of the Music app.

Good to hear it's running smoothly on the ol' 4 now. The wife was a bit disappointed that she may miss out on iOS7 not having a dual-core processor.

If you were running with a jailbreak before going to iOS7, let us know here how it's been for you. From what I've heard it been these folks who are having the biggest prolem's with glitches.

You do reliese that dual-core processor is hardware and depends on the phone.. the OS doesn't have processors .. -_-

You do realize he was referring to the fact that the iPhone 4 doesn't have a dual-core processor, and as a result one could have speculated that iOS 7 would either not run at all or run poorly on the iPhone 4.

@Tommy08 & DJLC: Also, keep in mind the A5 chip (4S microprocessor) has a 9 times faster GPU (maybe is partially marketing, BUT it's still quite more powerfull than the iPhone 4 GPU). So, there were reasonables uncertainties. I know that's what you're arguing, but I wanted to point it out

BTW: Thank you so much, DJLC. Can't believe you have transparen folders! It seems some people have translucid folders, others don't, and some others can't even enjoy the translucid dock.

I just found a video from some guy who has made a visual walkthroug of iOS 7 in his iPhone 4, and I think his folders are grey.

Check it out!

Not a problem! To clarify, I didn't have the translucent dock or folders in Beta 1 — just solid grey. I did an OTA update to Beta 2 and they were enabled.

I do plan to get the iPhone 5S when it comes out — I wanted to get the 5 when it was released, but my contract with AT&T prevented that. Luckily my contract will be up by the time the 5S comes out. But in the meantime I'm pretty happy with iOS 7 on my iPhone 4. I was getting bored with it, and this was the breath of fresh air I needed!

This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing with us. I think I'll definitely be updating my 4 to iOS 7, even though I'll probably upgrade the phone this year anyway. I'm hoping it doesn't run any slower than iOS 6 on the 4.

Yes, that's a given.

The iPhone 4 does not have a dual-core processor. Our concern was that maybe the single core processor iPhones were going to go the way of the dinosaur, like what happened to their bigger brothers, the laptops and desktops a few years ago.

Thanks to those above that pointed out our line of thinking, I just thought I'd expand on it a bit, being as I haven't had my first coffee yet this morning.

I'll install it

Try change the wallpaper then reboot your phone. It's translucent. Likely the method they use is take snapshot of the wallpaper + mix it with translucency then save as new image. That's why it's not refreshed (bug) when you change wallpaper or didn't reboot the phone

Bug at my iphone:
- sometimes slow when open apps
- weather apps crash when try to remove location
- sometimes the status bar (signal strength, time, etc) show up in both horizontal mode and vertical
- phone, the favorite list get hidden under the status bar.
- during phone call, the green tab (tap to return to call) keep active while actually the current active apps is phone. Rightfully it's only shown if phone apps is in background

How's notifications for all y'all? I get multiple sometimes, mostly using Messenger and Kik. Anyone else?

Sounds like a mixed back to me tbh, I may just upgrade my phone rather then upgrading the OS of my phone...
