[App] SwipePad, Awsome way to multitask

SwipePad, is an awsome way to multitask, the best so far i have tested(my opinion)
Much more easy way to multitask then the default by holding he home button.
Give it a try =)
Its for free in the Market.

Thanks, very good app.
It will be great if we could control Wifi, GPS, ... like this...
an idea ?
i can't find an app to switch on Wifi without opening anything, and not a widget !

Great app. Its a good way to clean frequently used apps off the home screen. Thanks for sharing.

I do that with the notification power widget.
I've been using cyanogenmod so I'm not sure if it's part of the default UI or not heh.
Oh, and this SwipePad thingie rocks

wow this app is wild! im really enjoying it!
anyone noticing battery drains tho? not saying that i do (only using it for like an hour..) just curious

This app is ridiculously great, something I think should be integrated into android after using it for only a few minutes. Awesome

Very nice, but I was hoping it behaved more like a task manager, to switch between currently running tasks.

Very usefull app! Thanks for letting us know.

I love this. Genius idea.

Great application. Love it, thanks for sharing.
would love to see that possibility to empty a slot.
Btw, the author is on XDA?

Bought the Tasking add on as well.. looking good, but I am missing an all apps button..
Powerstrip is good as well and has more options. I am using Swipepad for now..

Changing the display brightness from the status bar

I noticed that if I hold and slide my finger on the status bar, the brightness will change accordingly: to the left = darker and to the right = brighter. Is it documented anywhere?

Not sure if extremely well known, but it has at least been brought up several times in different captivate threads.

As long as auto brightness is off

May be a samsung thing because it doesn't do it on cm7.

I do miss it myself....but not bad enough to go back!

if your on cm7 or miui theres a free widget called "brightness widget" or something that is really useful

I am running Serendipity 6.3 and it works for me too, I think it works reguardless of the launcher

Right. it's been there for me with serendipity since I've been using it (5.something) and I believe it was in assonance too.

Works for me to!!

It's a Touchwiz feature. It has been there since forever. It's strange they don't mention it anywhere in the quickstart guides or anything because I use it daily.

Honestly on cm7 just put a brightness switch in your notification bar.

I never knew that, thanks!

This is nice. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Now I can save 4x1 by getting rid of the power control widget

android battery bar

ok, a few years back, my windows phone had this really cool app, it was a bar across the top that was 1 or 2 pixels tall, multi colored that displayed the amount of battery left. someone told me it was in a rom, but I can't find it to save my life. maybe one of you has seen it or knows which mod, or anything about it, because I would LOVE to have that stupid little bar back.
Thanks
Pat.

It's built in to Cyanogen mod, if that's available for your particular decide. Not multi color as far as I know though.

sorry if im mistaken, i dont think this feature is on cyanogen mod. It is however on most of the 'MIUI' roms, i think it is standard on there.

Is this possible to have standalone? This would complete my device.

damn, wish it was standalone.. I'm pretty loyal to my current rom, at least until I get the new samsung infuse or whatever it's called.

+1 here, i still use LvmTopBat in my winmo, in colour and its the best. easy to read and always there.
hoping for a port

I like the tactics here

MIUI has that option.

tried an miui sd build (by 3dak, very smooth build) and the top bar is sweeeet. a thin green line which filles up from the right when its charging, and on lockscreen.
i want, i want, want, but i dont want miui ;-)
it would be worth a few dollars even as a paid app,
anyone???

Some issues I've run into

Overall I'm definitely loving this phone
One thing I've noticed is that in a dark room this phone is ridiculously bright on auto
And that the high level of brightness are causing a little bit of color washout
Swype worked initially, I switched keyboards and then switched back now it shows up half the size it should be
(Another thing I hadn't realized is how many apps wouldn't be coded for ics yet, looking for native ics app suggestions)
(Also is there a way to make the battery in the notification bar have a percentage)
Is anyone else having these issues?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I agree with you on the brightness. Once we have the bootloader unlocked there are ways to change the auto brightness sensitivity. Same with the battery %.
The swype issue is an issue with the swype beta. I have already posted on their forums reporting the bug.
As for apps, they're being updated for ICS slowly but surely. Be patient

No I haven't seen that thread.
Swype alternatives? Nothing is quite the same as Swype, but Swiftkey X is pretty damn good for standard touch typing.

Idk I just find it surprising that even huge apps ex. Facebook haven't been updated yet. Then again barely any devices have ics so......

Actually the default keyboard is swipe enabled. I actually like it better because the auto correct seems to be more accurate. It had its flaws but it is great for swipe and touch typing whereas swype sucks for touch typing.

Just an fyi, if you use notification toggles, you get not only the toggles but you can also set the app icon in the status bar to show battery with percent . It's kinda a bandaid for now but it works for me till we can get some custom Rom goodness.

noticed that the facebook app (the blue for example looks really light to me)
which is weird, but then again other apps have darker blues
anyone elses facebook app (across the top bar) look like brighter then it should?

[app] brightness apps

Been several posts in Q&A, and in general about best methods for adjusting brightness. Personally I like the slider in the notification tray, but the app Q Bright is by far the best app I've used for this purpose. Full slider, 4 customizable presets, full app customizations, fast acting, oh yeah, it's free.
Thought I'd share.
It's actually Qbright one word
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

I like screen filter. It's free as well. It can make the screen go dimmer than with the notification slider. Q bright is pretty cool too. Wish I had a search key to long press to bring it up though haha

I've been using Lux for awhile now and it's been working great.

I also use lux, but everytime i reboot i have to open the dash to get it to work. I have the notification icon active, which always says for some reason 50% after boot until I click it. Lux works with tasker and i like that for profiling.

<quick hijack>I've been on the hunt for a widget I can pop in my homescreen that will jump between preset brightness levels. I generally keep my phone around 5% or so but when I'm outside I can't see that. I can pull down the notifications and adjust the slider but a button on my homescreen is much easier.
This one works pretty well but the icon doesn't center properly and my ocd brain can't take it. Plus sometimes it will just jump between 30%-100%...No idea why.
Sorry for derailing the thread
</hijack>

Saw that too, I couldn't deal with the off center widget either. I mean seriously, wtf? Who wants that on their screen?

the best app I have ever used for adjusting screen brightness and saving your battery would be LUX. It is in the Market for free but the paid options are far worth it.

Auto brightness from google store... i like that app... useful and great

Lux is wonderful

I've been using Brightness Level by Curvefish for over 2 years. The widget is perfect.

I agree. This is what I've been using for.months and love it! It allows you to set custom presets based on the current luxury, which you can use the default reader or even use the camera to detect. I use default, and set customs by long pressing the link button on the luxury widget.
