I constantly walk and text so hate having to look up to see if anything is coming. Is there an app out there that makes the sms screen transparent with the camera screen as the wallpaper? Or display a small camera image just above everything? Not sure if this is the right section for this so re-direct me if thats the case.Thankyou for your time and i look forward to any replies.
Probably possible, but who would take the time to implement it?
Idea of the year that
Already exists for the iphone, surprised it doesn't for android yet!
Actually it exists in the samsung own android store, check out the galaxy s section i think you can find the apk somewhere.

Same, might be because we're 1.6 and not 2.1.

Can you do the theme from phoenix rom for heinz 57 (with 2fast's permission of course). It looks so awesome but i just cant seem to stay stable on phoenix for the life of me.
What issue is it that you can't get stable with? As gas's rom was built from the same thing mine is. Along with the fact he has even went to putting some of the same stuff in it.
The only issue as of right now is swype which I know what it is. I just have to get that far.

They look absolutely retarded. So funny I actually installed them on my GB setup.

I want to know it too. The Smilies look awful...
i know it's personal taste but i can't see what the big deal is with these things. i personally think this is the first time they look alright.
Of course, some people may like them and others may not. I personally don't even understand what some of them mean, so a simple sign like would be a lot better.
Still waiting for someone who knows how to change them

I would also like to know .. but i guess it doesnt bother me too much.
I love Android, but those stock ICS smileys creep me out. I'd like to know how to replace them with something normal.
U have to modify them in the framework
Which apps are you guys complaining about and for which roms?

creepy
They don't bother me, but the only way I see to remove them is with root access, deleting some files at the message app directory.
Hi, I've already searched and unless I am blind I haven't been able to find this so I figured I'd ask here;
I miss the look and functionality of Mediascape from 1.6 and would like a port of it to 2.3. Is this possible? I know that the stock music player now is probably faster but I still miss it. Any devs out there care to shine some light on this? Thanks a lot in advance and if this is surplus then by all means this can be deleted!
Cheers, Galcactus

developers from sony ericsson took more than half a year to port the one from 1.6 to 2.1, and it lags as hell, and they took another few months to fix the lags and add on a few more features such as one finger zoom. finally they gave it up on 2.3
now what do you think?
Well we are never going to even get the preview ROM of ICS yet here at XDA we have a relatively stable ROM working. So I guessed if the latest OS port is going well, then porting one pesky little app will be no problem. Also it doesn't hurt to ask, does it?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I feel your pain. I suffered serious withdrawal symptoms after upgrading form 2.1 to 2.3. As the honourable member says, mediascape is a bit of of an engima even for seasoned developers. Lets hope SONY come up with an alternative to the moded android app.
Once i saw this thread i was like (HOPES UP!)
one of the reasons i bought the x10 was because of the timescape and mediascape @[email protected] when they scrapped it in 2.3 i nearly cried T_T
So let's try and get a dev in to help us! Start up a petition?

Will the 2.1 ones work? I still have my nandroid back up.. I just need to extract it.
There should be a forum containing all the firmwares of the x10. While I know little about actual developing besides what I've read and the methods to recover my phone, I believe that the 2.1 global generic stuff should be perfect (or at least, better than 1.6 - works better. If possible upload both as Pvy wanted 1.6 too) as for Pvy, thank you very much for taking on this little project. Once I get near a computer I will find the links for you. If someone beats me to it then make your you either upload the whole firmware or both the frameworks, the system apps and the de-odexed versions of the apps too. Thanks people, this is starting to kick off!!!

1.. Mediascape was laggy and tbh not worth the device that ran it x10 was too good for it, 2nd it cannot be brought over, i think wolfbreak may have attempted this (feel free to correct me if am wrong) and it wasnt possbile to do, its a dead feature, although u could always go back to 2.1 for it
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Whilst I appreciate your views, I feel obliged to point out that it was buggy for various reasons; the x10 ran on 1.6, or 2.1 back then, both dubious iterations of Android with not even a JIT compiler, let alone the sort of sophisticated RAM managers we have now (I know not quite the same thing, just making a point). Also whilst I love my x10, even on the vanilla like OSs, e.g. cm7, the x10 lags unless pretty much maxed out with no apps installed. That is a hardware failure, our rather it's simply outdated. Finally while mediascape was laggy back then the x10 is capable currently of running most things from either 2.1 or even 1.6 relatively smoothly. If you were to compare things like quadrat scores you'd see a drastic improvement. In addition, I am hoping that the various tweaks available with different ROMs well help us to smooth the app in it's transition from eclair to gingerbread! Pvy, anything worthwhile to report?

For those who does not like the mediascape please don't pour cold water on our hopes. It was among the reasons why we bought the original x10 in the first place.
Remember the countless times their adverts have timescape and mediascape? so hush please and let us wait for the news from pvyparts.
hope OP not misunderstood my post lol. i was saying mediascape is really hard to port, because many other devs have tried before.
glad to see somebody is taking a look into it again, can't wait for good news to come!
honestly i hope timescape can be ported too! timescape on SE 2.3 looks totally nasty and it's extremely laggy..

Same way you do it with stock - you have to open up the app drawer, hit the menu button, then select edit. You may need to switch the view type first - do that, and then you can drag things from the app drawer into the dock and vice versa.
Hey again -
To the few that do try this rom out - feel free to drop suggestions for other things to try and work in (beyond lockscreens of course). While I do have one known (and one unknown) surprise ready, I'd like to get a few more things worked into an update if at all possible. I can't say I'll be able to work in what is suggested, but I'll give it a shot at least
Having an updated tw launcher or a different launcher with the ability to have 5 or 6 apps in the dock would be all that I would ask for. Everything else is fantastic. Thanks for all your efforts.

Yeah I've thought about such things, but I always circle back to the idea that there are so many great 3rd party launchers out there I should let it be to encourage folks to explore those options lol. I also am leery on putting in a launcher that has a pay version or has the whole ask-for-permission hassle (that's not really a hassle), but I'll keep my eyes peeled for something different.
I am of course open to suggestions

Google Now should have been working - all the stuff from the referenced link was added for it anyway. How is it different now vs. when you first flashed the ROM? Could you get me a screenshot of what it looks like for you now? Perhaps I missed something...
LOL on the swag toggle - I meant to change how that behaved. The toggle is there for fun only, but to mess with people on the Gingerbread build I had it set to force download mode if you turned it on while auto-brightness is turned on - I forgot to change that, my bad
EDIT: Derp... I see what I forgot... Ok, it will be fixed in 2.1, sorry about that For those not wanting to go and flash anything, all you need to do is delete /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk and then reboot and all will be well. My bad.
Google now just wasn't there before. It was standard search. Now I've added it mine looks like this:

Yep - everything in that is already in the rom, I just forgot to remove an apk. D'oh.
First off - thanks to those that have offered some feedback on this, it is very much appreciated. That being said, I know not many have tried this out but I'm getting an update together, so I wanted to ask if anyone has noticed anything else not working quite as they expected or anything that should be changed/added/removed...?
I haven't come across anything I wanna do with the launcher yet, but I have cleaned up a few things in the toggles, Google Now is now working as it should, I fixed another little bug I found when you first turn on wifi after flashing... outside of that is there anything people have found that I should address before updating? No worries if not - like I said not many have tried this out, but I'd like to get all the little issues ironed out before updating if possible.
