Is there a "popup list maker" or similar?

I want to do a small menu for my WM6.5 MULTIplugin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523015
I imagined something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...that is supose to show 4 options.
I tried it with many softwares and also mortscript and was able to go as far as this:
But is ugly compared to the original idea... IS there some sort of application like a menu, even if it doesnt allow skinning, but at least that looks like a system message window?
---edit---
Already tried Mortbuttons, FingerMenu and launcher.

Do yourself a favour and learn some .NET programming. Then you can do this yourself in C# or even VB.Net.

As a webdesigner I already taught myself to code in BATCH files, HTML/XML, AS2 (Flash) and recently Mortscript... I could do more if I had any programming bases, but that and my love for Math is the reason why I chosed arts...
It seems simple enough to do, and with a little INI file it could be easy to change, but I simply dont know how to do it and it would time some time to get that done in a new language.

Also tried FLOATME:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282913
...to see if I could change the size if the mortscript menu, and so make it float, but no luck...

I found this great application:
http://www.saman-cz.com/ppc/nmnovrw.html
And it may work for what I want, It just needs to be much bigger:
Is there any way to change this without messing up the rest of the system messages?
I remenbered that I can do that with FingerMenu, that I can enable and disable after use, but its a little buggy on some machines still and the disable sometimes fails and its more 300kb just for that effect... :/

Just to post in the current status, I found this great menu kvvQuickMenu:
http://kvv.my1.ru/load/6-1-0-43
..and I'm having some bugs still, but I believe its on a good path.
For the record, I also found FSMenu:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=112228
...but its only in russian...

Can you PM me some good C++ and VB.Net and C# programming applications to do some programming? I want to learn on my own but I need some suggestions for the best programs for this.

i know that you can change the imagen from the lock screen, but i want to change the image inside the menu and home screen where the live tiles are, like in the images, is that possible? can anyone tell me how to do that?

There's no official support for this. I don't even know of any custom ROMs with this feature, though it would be cool to see one.

that's too bad i hope when wp8 comes out have this feature, and most important, that every windows phone already on the market can get that update..
i have another question so i don't know if you know that, but how can i change the ringtones for a custom one, like a song..i know that on microsoft website says you can create a ringtone with zune, y tried that but doesn't work for me :O how can i do that? i don't have my phone dev unlocke, and i don't have plans for doing it..so there's a simple way to do that?

People have been trying to get this to work but no dice; I think it will be a lot easier with Windows Phone 8 comes out because it will (hopefully) support custom backgrounds. Keeping my fingers crossed. At the moment it doesn't work because there is now way to do this in the reg.

Hello...World?

Just wanted to take a second and introduce myself... to myself??? I made the transition to android last week after packing an iOS for the past few years even though I really wanted to get android so that I could design/implement/build/deploy my own stuff directly to the phone without having to jump through apple shaped hoops. My background is .net/delphi (daily) and java (every so often) so I figured I should be able to hit the ground running. However, before I start doing anything I wanted to run a few things by you all just to make sure I have read and understood everything as I should have.
I just got my AT&T GS4 and have verified using *#1234 that my firmware version is indeed the latest crappy "MF3" type, and as such I am left with two options (1) Root my phone without "loki-doki" ( i.e. the only way to revert changes/bad ROMs ) and pray or (2) dont...
I've seen a few posts of people confirming the root process works via the SD card, but then what? Are there any ROMs that are stable enough that you would recommend to someone who absolutely can not afford to brick their phone?
Any helpful advice will be greatly appreciated as I'm looking forward to start contributing to the cause as soon as possible.
thanks,

[APP][4.1+][NO ROOT]DPI Changer

Sometimes you just don't like the size of the items on your screen. If you're lucky, your phone's software has its own DPI changer of sorts, where you can choose among a few different presets, but what if you want more options, or you aren't one of the lucky few with that feature?
Well, this app aims to fix that problem on any Android device running 4.1 or later. There are quite a few apps out there that change your DPI, but this one doesn't actually require root, even if you aren't running Nougat. You will have to reboot if you aren't rooted, but hey, that's better than being around a computer all the time to use ADB, right?
There are instructions in the app for the setup and usage.
IMPORTANT:
- I don't know if this will work on every device running Android 4.1+. I was able to test it on an emulator running 4.1, along with various LG and Samsung devices on Marshmallow and Nougat, but that obviously doesn't include everything. Send some feedback if it isn't working for you, and include your device + Android version.
- Non-root mode requires you to execute a one-time ADB command (unless you uninstall and reinstall the app). From then on, all you'll need is a reboot.
- Avoid setting the DPI below 72. I don't specifically know what happens, but I know Android tools prevent this from happening by default. I will build the limit into this app in a future update.

@ProGuy1 if you can use ADB to change your DPI, that's great! But some people don't know how or don't have constant access to a computer. I figured rebooting would be more convenient than finding a computer with ADB.
Also, devices on 4.3 and above no longer need to reboot, whether rooted or not.

@S. Loranca You can certainly translate it if you want. The source code is on GitHub. Look in `/res/values/strings.xml`.

Thanks for making this! I saw the "Display Size" setting missing on my new Xiaomi phablet; a few apps I tried on the play store failed, but this app works perfectly.

For reasons you'll see soon, I'm removing this project from XDA and closing the thread. If you have the app right now, email me or PM me with any questions.

Adding support for official Keyboard Cover in ONE UI ROMs

[Same thread in S8 Q&A forum]
I asked this in the specific Hades android 10 ROM thread, but mabe this solution works in any One UI ROM.
AFAIK the steps to find a solution would be:
1. Figure out the processes involved in making the keyboard cover work.
2. Extracting them from a (or almost) stock ROM.
3. Flashing on top of the ROM in TWRP
4. If it doesn't boot up or is unstable, try editing the ROM myself replacing the new apps with the old ones.
5. Flash again
If it works, then perfect
If not, find a workaround with some external apps.
7.Make the keyboard stay always on screen.
8. Set up a keyboard that exactly matches the case. Maybe the native samsung keyboard from Pie itself works with this.
9. Lock the screen rotation.
10. Have a quick toggle to add and remove the keyboard cover settings and link it to the bixby button for convenience.
I have absolutely no idea about ROM development, so any help would be most helpful. thanks!

Hello @corsicanu and congrats on the great ROM.
I'm asking you and anyone who has some experience in android ROM developement if it could be possible with a bit of tinkering to add support for the keyboard cover.
I know there's some remnants of code of it in your ROM cos in first boot, in the setup wizard it was attatched on the back side and a message popped up telling me I could not use it while setting the phone up (as it said on first boot on Pie).
AFAIK, there would be several processes involved in supporting this keyboard cover, from the Samsung keyboard app itself to some other system processes. Probably some background log registers which processes start runnig in a stock Samsung ROM and from then i'd have to export them to Android 10.
I don't know how hard is to grab them from a pie ROM, replace the Android 10 parts and hope it all work together while fashing in TWRP, or just have both apps in the same ROM and disable the newer ones and start tinkering.
Is there some signature or something required while flashing it?
If you could guide me to some material to start figuring this out, It'd be most helpful. Thanks!

Hi!
How's it going trying out to make the case work?
I recently found this case on Amazon for $10 and had to get it although I don't own a S8+ myself. Next task will be to buy a not too expensive phone and start to experiment. I have no knowledge either of ROM development but will try out different ideas on how to make the case work. Would be nice to have it still working on an recently updated phone.
