Shortcuts to fullscreen pictures? - General Questions and Answers

Hi all!
I've just become an uncle for the first time and want to show EVERYONE the picture of my gorgeous, 7 weeks premature niece. Set it as you wallpaper I hear you scream in frustation at the monitor! Alas, I can't live without HTC Home anymore. So how do you – and indeed can you – set a shortcut to a fullscreen picture?
Thanks for your help!

set a shortcut to a fullscreen pic?
you can try making a normal shortkut to the pic you like associated with a picture viewer most of them launch the pics in fullscreen hope I made my answer correctly

which shell are you using?
in MOST shells you can create shortcuts to whatever you want.

I'm using the standard WM6 shell. I take it I should link to the pictures and videos app but what do I put as an operator(?) after that?
Thanks again!

you must make the link straight to your image not to the application if you link the application it'll launch the application only

Okay, here you go, follow these step:
1. Long Press your desired picture, choose "copy"
2. Open File Explorer, go to, windows/start menu/programs
3. Long Press in the blank area the choose "Paste Shortcut"
4. Rename the file that generated in programs folder with your favourite name
5. With HTC home, just go to program tab, then choose "Add (+)"
6. Choose the file that generated, that you have renamed
7. Choose "OK"
8. There you go, everytime you choose that icon in HTC home program tab, you will have your favourite picture shown
Here you go the screenshot taken from my ROM, to make it more clear for you,.

SO LET BEGIN
Statement:
1-CPR program lock part of the parameter file reference in the "style】 【buuf lockscreen_wp6.5_V2". Thank its author.
2 - This is just system lockscreen's changes. Just cover the documents i provided, no need to install.
3 - is an independent replacement of the lock screen wallpaper. The original system can not achieve this function.
The reasons for doing this lock screen
1. I personally think IPHONE's way of unlock (slide left to right) it;s really on HD2's big screen, so i change it,now you juse need to silde left to middle of screen, I text it on my X1 and HD2 .
2. And this is to modify the system locks, it will not take up space , will not affect the speed.
3. Relative to the S2U2 and HTC MINI LOCKSCREEN the need to install the lock screen software. it can make your device keep running for longer time.
4. i am using GTX SENSE, now only HTC MINI LOCKSCREEN' style matched with GTX SENSE, but HML sliding feels poor (frame rate is too low). . .
Usage:
Step 1. The following files into the \ WINDOWS \ LOCKSCREEN in
LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr
sliderbg.png
Step 2. The other file into the \ WINDOWS . if it doesn't work ,please reset your device.
Wallpaper replacement method:
there is a PSD i put into the file. all you need to do it's to open this by ps,then mixed with the picture you like. and save it as JPG can save you more room.
every thing people made has a name, so i call it BGP-SCREEN
B-BLACK G-GRAY P-PURE&WHITE
and....my english is really poor...so bear with me..thx
here is the fileView attachment BGP-ScreenLock.zip

My Mario Theme! *Going the extra Mile*

I decided to take the standard htc interface and throw a Super Mario Bros theme onto it. Please give feedback and suggestions. I haven't done any of the really hard stuff yet. Also I can't post links yet so I had to add spaces and couldn't post the pics correctly
Currently I have found:
A sweet wallpaper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710647
A taskbar and rosie I like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=707047
and I have created
a boot animation (attached)
a lock screen, put the folder in the attached zip in .lockbot and use lockbot pro (I think)
Icons for the camera, maps, Internet, people, voice, and (g)mail (all attached, some are straight from SMB)
Instructions to change icons:

[Q] Copy and Paste

Hi guys,
Sorry if it is a stupid question, but I am new to Android.
Just got my wonderful piece of kit, but am struggeling to find out how to copy and paste text.
Could anyone help?
long press on the text you would like to copy and you will see two markers and a pop-up menu.
also long press in the area you would like to paste, you'll see pop-up menus too
those menus are customizeable so they're different from app to app..but should be ituitive enough to use anyway..
@magicpork
Thanks a lot-this works!
Now am busy trying to figure out how to copy and paste files.
I have tried to copy them from the file manager and paste to the SD card, but when I made a long press in the area I wanted to paste it too-it grabbed the files which already were there.
errgmmm...help?
Does anyone know how can I copy and paste files (not the text).
Help please
the top-right button in the file manager is paste!
Download File Manager HD (Honeycomb) by Rhythm Software from the market, makes copying files a breeze.

I was like a machine on the iphone-I suck on this s3! I recognize the superiorty of the droid but its little thkngs like this-having to stop and use two thumbs- that make me twice as lesselessefficient....see? This Sucks!
Any Ideas out there for what I'm looking for?
THANKS!

It is app dependent, some apps put the paste in line with the text area like the iPhone, others it is at the top.
You can try an app like ThumbKeyboard, it has an option to add some of your own softkeys. Here is my Thumb Keyboard setup on my 10" tablet for Portrait mode:

Not sure how it will work/look on a phone, but give it a shot.

[Q] Metadata of photos

Hello,
When we take a picture with a Android device, we can know which device took the picture by consulting the details of the picture.
Does someone know where is the database of these metadata?
Where are saved the brand and the model of the device?
I wonder this because I'd like change the brand and the model of the device in metadata.

}
In this picture I'd like replace "AMOI" by an other brand.
Thanks for your help.
PS : I'm sorry for my pitiful English. [emoji16]
You can edit the metadata of a pic using a pc or your android itself!
in a PC :
*right click the photo
*select properties
*in the properties tab, select details and you can see all metadata there, you can click whatever you want to change then press Save below!
on your android phone:
*download this app from market Photo editor
*open the app, from the app, open that pic using the gallery or file browser option, or simply sharing the image from any place to photo editor
*you will see the pic loads with editing options, clickinfo in the bottom left corner
*you will get metadata now, edit your desired options and save
Done!!
Yes of course but I would like the right metadata be placed automatically on every pictures.
So instead of AMOI I'd have directly the other brand...

So, you need to root, then use a file browser like ES File Manager, open /system/build.prop as a text file, there scroll down and when you can see AMOI , change it to whatever you like, then save it and reboot.
Now all your photos will come with the new name you put instead of that AMOI.
Thanks you for your advice.
But checking the buil.prop is the first thing I did. And that data isn't located in the build.prop
So it's embarrasing because I don't know at all where it is located :/
I checked many files...but not found yet...I hope I'll find!
After many monthes of researches... Up please!
Any idea? No way to change this?
PS : I'm running 4.4.2

Floating bubble text stays on-screen a long time.

For some reason these "popup text bubbles" stays on screen for about 60sec(Don't know there name, so it's hard finding related search results).
They're supposed to go away way faster(~5-15sec?).
I can't find a way to revert it, so do any of you know whats going on?
This behavior has persisted on two phones(Both running android 11).
I've imported my settings using my google account to the new phone.
The new phone:

Thank you sir, you're a savior!!!
Disable Bubble Notification On Android For Specific Apps​Step 1. Grab your phone or tab (Android) and swipe down from the top of the screen once or twice.
Step 2. Tap on the Settings icon to open your device’s Settings menu.
Step 3. Now, scroll down until you find “Apps and Notifications.” Tap on it.
Step 4. Tap the message that says “See all X apps.” You will find icons of three apps installed on your device on top of the phone screen and this message under it. And ‘X’ is basically, the total number of apps you have on your device.
Step 5. From the list of apps, select the app for which you don’t want to use Bubbles.
Step 6. Then, in the app window, tap “Notifications” and then, select “Bubbles.”
Step 7. Next, tap on the button that says “Nothing can bubble.”
This will stop sending you a Bubble for every message you receive in that app.
Regards,
Willjoe
