New app idea.

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.

Camera App Suggestion :)

Sup forum, I dont know if theres already an app for this, but if there is I havent seen it.
Arite so you know how you can only send low quality videos less than 30 seconds via txt message (MMS)
We know moments in life happen so quick and theres been many times ive videoed somthin once in a lifetime but my camera is always on 720p high quality.
We need some kind of shortcut you can put on the homescreen that opens up the camera with different settings.
One for text messages and one for HD home movies say. Easy one click and film right.
Cause by the time you open up the camera change the settings, lets say cause you know you wanna send this video, and not post on youtube or somthin, the moment would be gone.
I dont know if Im the only one that would like something like this, but what you guys think??

I know LauncherPro has programmable shortcuts so you can launch specific apps with specific settings.. I have never looked into creating one though so you are on your own there, but it may be a good place to start looking.

Oh yeah?? Ill check it, thanks
Edit: yea launcher pro has settings, but not for the camcorder.

Cannot use widescreen wallpaper after ICS install

I just loaded the ICS leaked and Now I cannot use images from my gallery as widescreen/scrolling wallpaper. Is there a setting I. Not aware of. It seem to flash the control for a second then goes away. Help please.

I had the same question. Fixed it by installing a more ics gallery. Try this. Thank me if it worked!

I was able to load the new gallery but still it will not let me do the wallpaper in wide/scrolling mode like the ones in the wallpaper gallery. I was able to do this on in gingerbread...this sucks.

I also tried the new gallery and didn't work for me... but I found a quick and easy fix; no reboot required.
Just install and apply a wallpaper from the App Zedge from the Market; a.k.a Google Play... (new name really sucks BTW).... once you do this, the scrolling wallpaper is back.

What you have to do is open ics gallery select the picture and hit menu set as, then wallpaper. If you select home screen wallpaper it will not work.

Good news. I found that google + will do the trick. Just have the photo uploaded to picasa and then tell google + to make it the wallpaper and it will scroll if the image is in widescreen format.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I tried Zedge also. It worked but it was because they happened to have the exact same pic that I wanted to use in their gallery.

I amnnow using go launcher and widecreen is fine in it.

What ROM did you flash and what launcher are you using. I want to say that I did see that same thing on one of the ICS ROMs. Don't remember offhand which one though.

I use one click and apex launcher. Everything works great. But i think apex will work with any rom.

Yeah, it looks like he switched launchers and it started working correctly for him. I think it actually may be a launcher/gallery combo as well. I wish I could remember what I was trying when I saw that it wasn't doing the widescreen correctly.

I am on the leaked ICS ROM. I found it is the touchwiz launcher gallery combo that has the issue. I now use Google+ to set a image I want to use as widescreen.

QuickPic > *
Seriously. Use it for everything. Gallery is broken.
I'm on Sky ICS UCLD2 base and I can set any 960X800 image as a scrolling widescreen wallpaper just like in GB.

Photo Editor

Hi guys
Just took from SGS II ICS ROM its photo editor (photo retouching).
It is really cool and besides special effects you can actually choose an area and apply all effects or even make stain disappear (fill hole).
It works absolutely flawlessly on our device.
source : GTI9100XWLP4-4.0.3 (Supports Hebrew as well).

You can also download photoshop for android.

Hi rosrivt959v
I had photoshop for android.
I don't remember it had so many effects and features, for sure not the ability to choose specific areas and apply effects on them. But maybe it was lately updated, i dunno.

I've tried a few photo editing apps since I started using Instagram. So far, I like Picsay Pro and Camera Zoom. Picsay makes it easier to add text though. I don't think Zoom has the same functionality though.

I liked camera zoom for a while, but moved to Quick Snap (with infinite focus) as my fastest camera (for running kids) and this thread photo editor for the small finishes. For videos editing I use AndroVid btw.

Hi itzik2sh...I just found it FC every time I try to load picture (was on your Hebrew Vahalla), I did Gremlin removed and flashed your rom several time but still FC :s...(sr but since 'm into worst week of the school year - exam week lol - so I can't have phone and PC at once to upload some pics for you - as my mom not allows lol)

I don't want to be off topic, but :
1. Does it happen on this app only?
2. Is gallery working good otherwise?
3. What launcher are you using?
Go launcher is smoother and more stable comparing to touchwiz.
4. Try deleting your pics and vids, maybe one of them is corrupted..

1. Yes, just this app.
2. My galary was fine.
3. I have always been on Go launcher (even on MiUI rom lol )
4. I'm sure all my media files are not corrupt ...
Anyway, I tried it on other roms and it was fine so never mind, once I get on Hebrew Vahalla again, I will sure to follow your op tightly and will report to you later since I remember that I didn't ummu and just only factory reset one time :s...my bad so I can say now, the app is fine ...btw, all best wishes to you

BTW, I've tried this app and I just get green mangled photos with the latest CM10 nightly and DZO camera lib update. It's certainly fast...perhaps as fast as stock, but doesn't seem to work right with the current state of CM camera.

a installed the latest 29 nightly this morning it takes perfect photos on mine mate must be a can fix you have applied a haven't tried out like that but then again builds can end up different
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

I'm using the nightly from 8/15 and it takes GREAT pictures. I'm trying to decide if its better than the original software that came stock on the phone. I've been really happy with this camera and was hoping that CM wouldn't change it at all.
I have an example picture but I haven't posted enough yet to post up the link

just a suggestion to use as a alternative really
