Request: Full Screen Zoom or All Font Enlarger - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

Hey guys! Long time reader, first time Android poster. Love the community!
Getting right down to it, I'm visually impaired but not blind. Some aspects of the Evo are just too small for me to read. Coming from an Iphone, I got spoiled with there three finger double tap zoom accessibility feature. I'm looking for something similar or even just some way to increase the font size of everything. I ran across this app http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.pbxes.fontsize/ but the comments state that it doesn't work for Evo.
Anyways. this has been something sought after by many people. I've been reading everything I can find searching Google and all I find are people wanting it, but not getting it. I'm willing to throw some cash at a developer to get this going. If it can be made an app I'm sure it will sell extremely well in the market, even if it is just Evo specific. If it has to be some kind of custom ROM there would still be a lot of people using it.
Sorry if something like this has been requested before, but I spent a lot of time searching and I didn't find anything useful. If there is already a solution, please PLEASE tell us.

Hey, hopefully this helps you out. Go on the market, and look for dolphin text sizer. It says you have to also download the dolphin web browser [both free], but the text sizer should be right up your alley. And just literally looked it up for ya.

That is kind of neat. But.... it's not quite what I was looking for because this only works while in the browser. I'm looking to be able to zoom the entire screen and then pan it left and right. Or..... increase the font size of everything, including icons and contacts, timestamps... everything.
Here is a youtube video of the three finger zoom thing that the iphone does if you havent seen it before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1ZzDffl0sQ&NR=1 It really does a little more than he shows but you might get the idea.

Try Ideal Accessibility in the market. Kinda like a grid arrow pointing down. It profess having some good apps, but still looking.

Take a look at an app called lcddensity. You can use it to make everything on your screen either bigger or smaller. It resets on reboot, but you can make the effect permanent. You can also try changing your font to something a bit bigger than the standard font.

I made a app these days and now i published it on market
it is called ScreenZooM. Search for it (icon is a magnifier with a big green +)
i will atach a qrcode image
i can't post links coz i have 4 posts

Awesome!
Haha! WoW! Yeah 1 year later! This is pretty cool! I am having a little trouble getting the shake to work tho. It works once, then it wont work again. I'm running Decks 2.3.7 Stablistic on my evo, and I selected "custom" in the app.
But seriously, thanks! I thought this request was long dead and buried.

maybe i put sensitivity too small... and you need to shake harder?
You can try and the stock mode, maybe works better

cool app! Not something that I would probably use, but still, very cool work. thanks.

remap rosie buttons

in zens slide port, the normal shortcut add button leads to faves. is it possible to do something like that? i like how the app drawer is in the middle, just makes more "sense"(get it?)
tia!
ADDON:
(my ideal setup)
honestly, id like to JUST have an app drawer. we have a hardware phone button that works in taking you to the dialer in any app your in, long press has made the add button obsolete, but ovbiously the app drawer is still needed by default.
i know i know, go to launcher, but i like sense :-D
i know how to use metamorph, so i COULD make buttons transparent, but to switch around the actions...i think will take more dev'ing than im capable of. unless someone has a hardcore article i could read on remapping.

Ive been thinking about that ever since he fixed it. Ive even tried porting that setup over to damage but some of framework is different, and im not really all that good with this stuff....Itd be nice setup though, i like app drawer in the middle too.

Eh, I'd still really like to have the phone button, my green call button sticks some times and acts weird, not to mention I hardly ever use the hard buttons except for ending a phone call or closing an app. I guess its just a habit I have developed.

ok im taking my girl to see kickass right now, and ive promised my torrent community a decent cam over the one floating around right now; in the meantime...reckon you could find anything you can on remapping? ill gladly get this project started up and probably finish it if since it seems like we're the only ones who seem to want it LOL
You guys kill me. Just saw this thread, as I happen to read miscellaneous posts while eating lunch .
I've never really looked at the feasibility of re-mapping buttons for such a purpose. Given that I personally don't have a similar want/need, not sure how much "effort" I'll put into, but I'll take a peek and see what, if anything, can be done.
Personally i love the sense widgets, but hate the bottom buttons, so i use stock home. If theres also a way to change the 7 screens to 5 or 3, that would be awesome. My ideal interface is somewhere between aosp and sense.
I've actually thought about this too and think it would be really neat. App drawer in the middle, phone on the side and replace the "Add to Home" button with something more useful. I never posted anything because I didn't know if it was possible but if it is then I'd love this!

Maybe replace the Add to Home button to Settings or Internet, personally i wouldn't mind figuring out how to change them and switch the phone button to app drawer and add to home to setting and change app drawers current button to internet, then my home screen would be clear.
We've had this convoy before, though slightly different....my preferred setup would be simply replacing the "+" button's add function with a second tray containing shortcuts to your contacts.....pretty much like the people widget, but in a drawer instead of taking up one of my pages. I like having the phone button in the middle, but if some can figure out how to remap the buttons, I wouldn't mind looking in to customizing the layout and functions. Right now, I'm not even sure where to start, lol!
anything different for the "add" button would be great! never understood the need since you can just as easily long press to add
Remapping existing functions is rather easy. Trying to add a new function to a button that does something completely different, though not impossible, would take a lot more work.
Here's a quick "proof of concept" video:
http://screencast.com/t/NDdkNDBmY
I've basically just remapped the application draw and phone launcher buttons to switch. I don't show the left icon press, but it pulls up the phone. Didn't show it in the video, as I don't want to reveal any phone numbers.
There are some bugs to iron out, but if you were to eliminate the left and right buttons all together, it would be good to go now. Currently, and I just started looking at this, if you press the right button, a variable is not getting reset, and then if you press the middle button, it will take you to the shortcuts rather than the app drawer again. But, as soon as you click the 'phone' button, now mapped to the left button, the app drawer in the middle begins working again...

Just giving you crap dude, I'd love to see this happen
i havent completely decided as to how the first set up will be; theres alot of good ideas posted, but we're stuck until i get a starting point. ill probably start out by making my ideal rosie, and share the rescurces and steps to do it.
theory; obviously, the ideal place to start would be in Rosie.apk. perhaps an xml file of some sort? any other ideas?

Yea, I agree. I just installed it yesterday. It's really usefull with the overlay menu. Honeycomb should have had something like this out of the box as far as I'm concerned.
great app! after using it it's like thinking this was missing standard functionnality of honeucomb !
just one things, it'd be cool to be able to change the order of icons...
why couldn't this have been posted yesterday...
Looked all over the market- I wish they had better search function..
Wasted $2 on wave launcher.
But this app is what I was looking for. And free
is anyone having an issue of this app not loading up after coming out of sleep. Loads after reboot but not sleep
I have to physically go into app and hit apply for it to turn on after sleep.
Anyone know a fix for this

yeah, changing the order of icons would be great, also if the icons were all at the same size....
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm loving it
Really cool little app which helps give more functionality to honeycomb on the Transformer, thaks for the tip.
Excellent app but it completely slowed down my transformer and it began to stutter. killing the app solved the issue until it was started again. removed it for now. I will write an email to the developer because I see a lot of potential in this app.
needs more work but a really nice start
cool app....I put camera on there haha

nifty app.... but just not as useful as i thought it'd be. all the aps i usually run are in my "recents".... so no added functionality except for when i first start my tab.

"Launch from Notification" does not slow down home screen but it only allows 5 application to launch.
https://market.android.com/details?...launchfromstatusbarfree&feature=search_result
Fantastic App! This is exactly what I've been searching for since I saw the Touchwiz UI.
I also, tried out "Launch from Notifications" and while it gets the job done, it doesn't look as snazzy or have as many slots. (5 vs 8) I'll try both and see which one I like better and how much battery they suck down.
For me the Netflix and Polaris Office apps are larger than the rest of the icons, not sure why. Also, I'd love a GUI was to switch the apps around once added to the list. I understand this is a very early version as it references a paid version that doesn't exist as of this post, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the dev has to offer and would be willing to pay $1.00 for the improvements requested in this thread.
As other said, "A nice start" but...
what would be nice is to be able to run small app that can be on top of other apps. (a notepad, a calculator, etc,)
Very nice app, but slowing down homescreen is a huge letdown... Launch from notification works fine, think I'll stick to it for now.
Yeah, same here. Noticed a big drop in home screen smoothness. I like the concept though. Hopefully the dev can make some performance enhancements.

Android 4.0 Website Template

Hey, I am new here! But, one of my favorite UIs ever is Android 4.0 and I decided to create a website with the UI in mind and go from there... So as of now I have the first page but I dont think it looks too good(3 or 4/10) so if you could leave a comment telling me maybe what to change or what you would like to see changed. Thanks!
Source: GitHub
wonderful idea, but...
first, i would like you to move your headline with home and information and so on to the left side like in the ics app drawer. second, just edit ure posts, so they are looking like the standard google app design, like google talk or something like that, you know the apps(android)/post(webside) name in a headline and right of it the date(webside)/options(android)
.. maybe i'll find some more later
but keep on it is cool!!
i got my pc UI looking like ICS ;D
Alright ill try that and post some picture on this post tomorrow... its time for me to hit the pillow!
Sorry didn't get to post the pictures got stabbed:/ anyways let me go look at what that looks like... *Goes to see*... with the nav bar on the left it looks very plain on the right and I need something there, and can't think of anything, and I don't get your idea about the Google icons?
I don't suppose you are going to be sharing this template are you? I would absolutely love to get my hands on it.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G running IceColdSandwich on xda premium
I think is a very nice template, Anyway I'd use brighter colours cuz' IMO it's kinda dark.
Very nice, though I would put some icons next to headers like in settings of actual phone. Also headers to the left.
Also a little suggestion, use the icons for share etc to the right of headers. That would look good.
Its really good. Simplistic.

How to get android 4.0 ROOT?
Interesting. Would eliminate the need for a mobile-optimized version of the site.
Now is that background the simulated background of the phone (meaning all of the text boxes are floating), or is it the background of the website?
another thing i want to suggest to you is to use this backgroud (it's not the same you're using...different colours)!!

This is pretty AWESOME to use on the phone.... trust me i have it on my nexus s and it looks amazing!!!!!!!!
the background is beautiful, have you done it by your own?
btw: i would suggest to cut the sharp edged of the boxes. make it round

Hey guys sorry I've been inactive, heres the progress update... I have fixed around some stuff and now looking into a CMS(Content Management System) or custom CMS. But my absolute next step needs to be is getting login to work with a sql database and me being an idiot am starting to learn php LAST in the fantastic 4 web based languages(CSS, HTML, JAVASCRIPT, and PHP). So if someone could direct me to the right place to get a grasp on how to write a login system or maybe just write one for my use
Edit:

It is the background, and the text boxes are not floating just position: absolute(due to the right side of boxes)

All the colors are exact of ICS android, it may just look like its dark due to the background not full brightness because i dont need so much contrast between the boxes and the background(bad looks)

I could help you out with the login system, but you would be better off with a CMS.
Integrate it in your existing code, or better yet.. Develop your theme for wordpress. That way, everything is in place and your login system is already there.

Thanks for the source, like the clean code! Mine is always messy until I manage to tidy up at the end.
By the way, have you thought of implementing the HTML5 standard (or soon to be standard)?
Over all this looks good. Did you manage to write a login?
Also, I have an idea, do you use jQuery?
There is a nice 'slider' plugin to the framework which could be styled for login box so it could look Xperia S style lockscreen.
If im not too busy I will try do it in spare time. But its fairly easy given that all the images can be obtained.

HTML5 honestly I haven't even looked into and I don't have enough spare time to learn it:/
I'm writing a login system now but I didn't want to release the source because it has no register, no session, no control panel, and no admin panel. And I don't like to release what isn't a full feature.
WordPress is probably my next step or a custom CMS because I love to have my own feeling to the CMS and not go based on a public one.
And if you can get the idea working for the login, I'm down with it just pm me, post it (wouldn't recommend), or send me a message on xfire: kilerbunny89. I'll make sureyou get the credit aswell I won't just steal your thunder

[APP][2.1+] Naked Browser 1.0 - A full featured yet tiny web browser

Hey now,
I was fed up with the privacy violations, bloat, instability, and general stupid functionality of Android browsers. I decided to make my own. Introducing...
Naked Browser
TRUST: Right permissions with no spying.
SPEED: No bloat, including minimal GUI candy.
FEATURES: Crash restore, undo close tab, one finger zoom, infinite tabs, and more.
FREE: As in no cost. Not even any ads.
Here's the web site: http://nakedbrowser.com/android/
I've been working on this for the past few months. I've been quite meticulous when trying to focus on speed and avoiding bloat. As a result, it isn't the prettiest app in the world. However, please know that most of my effort went under the hood. Stability and a rich feature set mean more to me than eye candy.
Interesting concept. Must say, its REAL FAST
Inspite of all this, I would just advise some UI enhancements, thats it. Else it is a nearly perfect browser.
Oh, forgot to mention but the icon looks kind of old, how about adding a new trendy one? :thumbup:
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
It looks ok, though I cannot use it with this GUI mate... Looks fugly...
Would be the perfect browser If ui were tuned up a little bit... Will keep it installed to check for any updates
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks guys. I'm really happy to read that it's real fast and it would be the perfect browser.
I focused as close to 0% on the UI as possible. Honestly, that was a goal. My top priorities were speed, stability, and functionality/features. In fact, unless I forget something, other than the blue color I added the entire UI is based on function alone. I even resisted adding the button icons but it actually took time to read the labels to figure out what to do so I added them.
I even wanted to go with the generic default "andy the android" application icon but instead opted to draw my own globe from memory in about 3 minutes in GIMP. So, it's not an old icon! It's new!!! ;-P And obviously I'm no illustrator.
The UI shows my dedication to making it function properly rather than look beautiful. It's like Apache or something. The interface isn't beautiful--just a config file in Apache's case--but it works like a champ. Sometimes when you focus first on the way it looks (Microsoft?), you end up with a pile of doo doo. I prefer it to look crappy but run great. Later it can look and run great.
Anyway, thanks for checking it out. I'm still improving it so keep it installed if you like. You might find yourself using it, you might end up thinking it's beautiful, but either way it will improve.

I just discover your interesting browser. Regarding to the size but bar tools should be display at buttom like zoom icons and only icons (no txt) cause it take too much space.
Hope to see next version if possible maybe with modern icon
Keep the good job
thanks
Thanks for the app, it loads fast and i actually like the UI, it's kinda cute :angel: . Any plan for urlfilter like in opera mobile, so I can block ad locally?
Really fast browser! The UI is sooooo sick!!!
But I found that the bookmarks and history on the start page are not support unicode languages, such as Chinese...
And is there a history page? Seems not. I can only access to history on the start page...
If there's a history menu or it can show the history inside bookmark page would be nice.
The rest is fantastic!
Thanks!!
Honestly this thing is pretty quick lol nice job!

When my kids ask, what does this word mean? I tell them to bring me a dictionary........Then I smack them with it, and tell them to Google that sh¡t.
selecting words, copy/paste working well?
Thank you all for the feedback! The next version will be out in a day or two.

Yeah, right? It’s cute! Sure. Anyway, I would love adblock but it isn’t easy. I do not access transferred data so I can’t tell what’s an ad. I can imagine a few ways to access the data and filter it, so I’m keeping it in mind. Pro version.

I made some small tweaks so the next version might look a teensy bit better. If there’s anything really odd like labels that aren’t on buttons then let me know. Otherwise, I’m focusing on my goals for the app and “make shiny” is not at the top of the list right now.
Many people say that it looks horrible, and I agree. However, they need to know that I’m focusing all of my time on features, speed, and stability. Adding some graphics or making a more complicated UI are just going to take me away from working on stuff under the hood AND slow the browser down/eat up RAM. I have a little background with cars. First let’s get it running, then we can paint the thing. That being said, any feedback is encouraged so just keep it coming!

I think so. Why do you ask?
Thanks again for trying out Naked Browser!

Bad “soooo sick” or good “soooo sick”?
Unicode/Chinese: I had no idea. I’ll try to figure out the problem. Are the bookmarks/history not showing up or do the links just not work?
History viewer: next version has it. Update coming in 24 hours or so.

New version shows correct Unicode characters! Thanks for the update!
About the home screen shortcut suggestion, actually I mean to create bookmark shortcut on launcher's home screen, not the browser's start page. For example, a Facebook shortcut on home screen...
And one more thing: A private browsing toggle would be even nice!
Thanks again for your hard work!

It's using the mobile version of internet like for phones others than smartphones please let us select if we want the touch ready websites
just found it via the news.
awesome!! that's exactly what i searched for.
there is almost no UI, and you can navigate so amazingly fast!
i'll use this one for now, let's see i can use it for my daily surfing x)
only one thing: the +/- buttons on the bottom right are really annoying. the option to remove them doesn't work :3
Really, really nice! I'm definitely going to give it a try as my default browser

The Unicorn SMS App

I'm looking for an SMS app that doesn't seem to exist, so I thought I'd post here in case there's a cool project I'm missing or some interesting ideas anyone has to share.
What I'd Like:
An SMS app with the following features:
-Both SMS and MMS work reliably and consistently
-Material Design compliant
-Swipe to return to conversation list
-Quick reply
-Avatar images in the conversations
What I've Tried and Why I'm not a Fan:
-Hangouts: No swipe or quick reply, the workflow/2-tab system in inefficient and ugly
-Textra: Weird font and no avatars in the conversations
-QKSMS: It bugs out on my phone...it thinks I have on-screen buttons (I have capacitive) and it puts a giant bar at the bottom of the screen, but stuff I can't see or interact with goes under that bar.
-Evolve: So much going on, it's so busy and sort of laggy and clunky even on my brand new Droid Turbo.
-Chomp: It keeps yelling at me that it can't find my APN settings even though every other app including Textra made by the same company works fine. Also only partially Materialized. OCD.
_Google Messenger: No quick reply or swipe.
-Go: Too much stuff for my taste
-Verizon Messages: Super ugly.

try YAATA
i think it meets (almost, if not) all the above mentioned :good:
I use YAATA and love it
YAATA would be perfect if it would turn Wi-Fi back on after sending a MMS
Thanks guys, I'll have to check that one out. Just got it installed and I'm playing with all the settings. When I initially opened it the font and pictures were huge and I felt like I was holding a Fisher Price toy but it has a ton of settings it looks like so I'm feeling a lot better now that I've played with a few of them. I figured there was a great app I was missing, so thanks for the help guys!

There's a fix for this in the advanced settings of the app
Someone pointed out the navigation bar fix option to me over in the G+ community for the app, but it didn't work in my case. Nothing changed.
Never heard of qksms before. Absolutely love it. Thanks xda and all members for suggesting approximately 70% of all my installed apps. ?
Indeed...actually QK started working for me again after I rebooted my phone. Not sure why I didn't think of that. I originally found out about that here too, and YAATA is actually really nice also. QK is still prettier, but YAATA seems to have fewer bugs right now.
