Hi,
I thought I would be able to crack this one for myself. But somehow I can't get it to work.
I would like to make some Camera Templates of my own. However the "how to" descriptions I have found won't work even though they should.
This is what I have done:
I made a animated gif (using Gimp I was able to see the structure of the deliverd templates)
The first picture (in the animated gif) is the template with a black area for the actual photo
2 The second layer is an empty transparent layer
3 This is a transparent layer with a a black area for the actual photo surrounded by white.
What happens is first I don't see any open arears while taking a picture. After taken a picture anyway the photo will be shown but not in the arears that I want wanted it to bb.
What am I doing wrong?
I have googled for two nights now and I have tried several ways to create this (GIMP and Photoshop CS3) I'm on some kind of track but is it the right one? This shoud have been so easy to create right?
Regards,
AJ
I cracked it ;-)
The secret is in how you save it.
This is how you do it:
Make sure that the background is set on transparent.
Take any picture and cut out for example a hole for the face by making this area black.
Make a second layer and make the same area black
Now draw a white line around this black area (not sure if you really need to do this so try it out)
Now create an animated gif that only runs once.
Now the big secret, I use Photoshop for this example but you'll probably regonize these settings for other programs
color reduction: Windows
dither algorythm: Pattern
Transparency: No transparency dither
Interlaced
Colors: 256
Matte (I made this black play around with it to see what happens)
Web Snap 0% (if you change this you get a more ghostly effect)
Regards,
AJ
These kind of things are very easy to make.
Just go to a website. Print screen it and past it in the 640 x 480 canvas. Then modify it until it is to your satisfaction.
Use the rectange tool to create the black area that will be used as the hole for the picture.
Now duplicate the rectange and go to "Layer Style" choose "Stroke" and make a white outside stroke of 1 pixel.
Now all you need to do is create an animated gif.
Go to "Windows" and choose "animation"
Make 2 frames in the animation box.
The first one is the picture with the black area
The second one is nothing but the black area with the white stroke, and save this as an animated gif.
color reduction: Windows
dither algorythm: Pattern
Transparency: No transparency dither
Interlaced
Colors: 256
Matte black
Web Snap 0%

Hi, I'm sorry for this noobish question, but where do these things go?
I saw somewhere on the internet that there should be a couple of "beeldthema's" or templates standard on this phone, but I only have the one of "Woman best buy top 10" and "MAN Person of the year" (this is 1 template with 2 pictures)
Is there a website where i can download these templates the other touch pro's have? I saw there was one on some Touch Pro's with a cook and some others too.
Thanks in advance
Hi, Ali3nSt0rm
On the Touch pro, and my gues is on the Diamond as well these things go in "my documents" "Templates"
(dutch)of "mijn documenten" en waarschijnlijk heet het in het Nederlands ook template en anders iets van Beeldthema ofzo.(/dutch)
Or you could just search your device for gif files and you'll find the spot where to put them.
For the internet:
Search for "camera templates" and you'll find lot's of free templates (like this one: http://xda-v.6te.net/)
You can also Google: [camera template site:xda-developers.com] and find a lot more templates.

Hello to all,
I am having a hard time reading the white call history page (see attached pic below) and was wondering how I can skin this? I'm not sure what this program is called so I couldn't find any skins searching
Also wondering if there is a way to skin pocket outlook, I really need a black background with white lettering to read comfortably with my visual impairment
Thanks for helping a blind guy out!
here is a pic of what I am talking about

They do alot of skinning over on this thread but I'm not sure if they'll have what you're looking for.
Thanks for the reply, I will check it out and report back
Okay, so I'll try to explain this the best I can. I think it would be cool if a live wallpaper dev could make the standard cm 'nexus' LW into a pin toy type display. For explanation purposes lets say the squares get brighter up to the part of the letter, are brightest at the letter itself and then go dimmer away from the letter. if you Google 'PIN TOY' you'll know what I'm talking about. So basically you wouldn't see a 'lead' square going across the screen but instead you would only see the trail up to the part or 'square' of the letter and then a trail for a few squares going away. I thought this would be cool if we could make the word Cyanogen or maybe just cyan or something... anyways do you think we could make this happen?
The latest 4.1 update to Pocket -formerly Read It Later removed the black theme and replaced it with a grey one. As I - among many other users - prefer black over grey, both for readability as well as power usage (on AMOLED black consumes no power and thus black backgrounds are very battery friendly) I modded Pocket to be black again.
What's changed:
- article view is black with white text (in black theme)
- article list is black with white text (in black theme)
- splash screen has black background (hardcoded)
- icon has black pocket instead of red one
What's not changed:
- account setup dialog and tutorial. You only see them once so I couldn't be bothered.
- light and sepia themes are untouched
- while loading an article there might be a short moment in which the article area is all white (like in the original app). sadly I can't change that :-(
Usage:
Download the attached apk and sideload it.
I changed the package name (com.ideashower.readitlater.pro.black vs com.ideashower.readitlater.pro) so you can install this in addition to Pocket. No need to uninstall the original app first. You'll have to enter your login credentials again though.
Then in settings set the dark theme and you're good to go. 4.1.2: Also make sure the True Black option is enabled.
Future:
I'll maintain this until Pocket gets a proper dark theme.
Thank you for this - I was hoping someone talented would mod it, so thank you.

Thanks for the mod, I didn't realise Pocket had a dark theme until I saw your post
Sent from my Xperia Neo on Ics
So Pocket has just released an update (4.1.2) with a "True black" option. However their true black is not black enough for me. All it does is make the article background black, the article list is still grey and even worse, the splash screen is still white!
So until that is fixed as well there'll be Black Pocket! First post updated with Black Pocket 4.1.2.
The splash screen is fixable using a CM (t-mobile theme engine) theme, if anyone is interested in that PM me. However that one can't fix the article list background.
But I'm wondering whether everyone feels like that or it's just me? Is the official 4.1.2 (black article, grey list, white splash) good enough for you or do you prefer my all black Black Pocket?
, your version of pocket is so much better I was searching the internet exactly for this and when I found it I was elated! thank you very much and please continue to maintain this until pocket gets their act together. If it's okay with you I would like to repost this in the gnex vzw theme forum and rootzwiki? I would obviously give you the credit and link back to your work/download.
Thanks a billion for real, I run Hybryd axi0m/aokp/triage black theme and needed this!
please don't repost the APK but just link to this thread. As xda allows non-registered guests to download attachments that shouldn't pose a problem for anyone and it ensures that people get the latest version of the apk.
according to the 4.1.3 changelog one more bug should be fixed: "White flash/flicker when opening an article in the Dark Theme" However I'm still getting the white flicker, so ... FAIL!
First post updated with Black Pocket 4.1.3.apk
edit: gah, xda wouldn't let me just add the new version so i had to delete and reupload the old ones, however 4.1.2 it still doesn't want. if anyone needs that version for some reason PM me.
to annotation on saved articles
Hi, am using the regular version but i wanted to know abt few issues in Pocket app, is there any possibility of taking notes on the saved artiles, or any app which lets to take notes, annotate on the, if you can fix this would be great help for many who are using stylus phones. Please let me know if there are any other apps which have this feature....thank you
Why do I have to login again and again after quitting the app
This is very simple and very useable browser for android tablets.(Development edition) In simulator it works on all tablets, what I was test!!!
Please don't be angry, if something does not work, so how do you like.
For big android tablets is one problem, browsers are impractical. If you want with right hand finger go back, you probably need stretch to the buttons located on the opposite corner.
In this browser I can operate with almost all buttons in one side.(In next edition I will include these buttons for left hand!)
And for this reason, it is the most practical browser, what ever made.
And it looks good. For others design is depressing grey, or boring white.
It has a bright orange color, with nice buttons.(In next edition I will include other colors and design details!)
It has almost all, what's need in browsers: java script, flash player enabled, bookmarks, history, zoom bottons etc..
It is pretty fast as well!!!
It has tilt scrolling with 3 angles, 3 speeds(you can change it in settings)(works only in lanscape mode).
You can shake device, if you want go back in webpage!
It has four available tabs, but because it is development edition, it works little bit wierd.
This is my first app, who I ever made, and I'm in learning process.
It's will works and looks good on tablets, who has more than 7'' and more than 480x800px.(if you try install on 5'' and 480x800px it will be useless, probably).
And it's designed for landscape mode!
If something not going well, please rate my app and write there, what exactly you not like.
It's 3 day trial version.
Some tips:
If google not open websites, please turn google from tablet to clasic mode!
If mobile youtube not playing video, turn youtube to desktop version!
Please find it in Play store!
Edit:
Here is the link to the app:

As much as I'd like to help, unfortunately, I do not have a tablet to test this on.
I have updated my previous post to direct link to your app (since you can't post links yet).
If you need anymore help, I'll be around.

First of all congrats on this app! I used on my Motorola Xoom and looked good, but here's some flaws that I think you can fix to improve it.
1 - The color annoys me a little, the orange doesn't go well with JB IMHO
2 - When typing the search it goes to a website, for example : typed xda developers, it try going to the site http://xda developers lol
3 - The color of the letters is white on a white background on the site bar
4 - Ads on a Web browser?! Are you crazy? Your browser may be good, but I can use many others which are free and better than yours! Like Chrome which is my actual browser
Conclusion: it is promising, just some things to fix and improve, looking forward to it :thumbup:
"This Story Ends Where It Began" - Octavarium (Dream Theater)
Tested on my N7... still a lot of work and improvements.But for a beginning,it seems good
When you are on and that you switch from portrait to landscape, you lose the page and you come back on the home page.
I tried several times and each time the same result
too much pubs

I just think you should take off ads from the pages, put it like on the bookmarks or something like that, because on the page I'm viewing it's really annoying... I understand what you want, but I just think putting ads where you put it is not good, also don't spam your own thread with "refreshes" just to go to the top, put a link on your signature and hope someone find it.
