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.

There was a facebook for android update this evening. It said 'added pages', however I dont see that feature anywhere in the new update. Is any of you seeing the pages in your new facebook update?
Video uploading is now supported too. Where is that?
that sucks. I always wonder why iOS fb app is superior to Android fb app.
This is the worst android app, nothing more than a web app.

video upload can be found by tapping the camera at the top of your newsfeed.

Yeah exactly.... many users( even me as a page owner) were thinking if their efforts could be way easy on it... but it didn't helped... this application dissapointed me in many things while using it for friends even.. this application has many limitations which need to be solved out with a new user interface may be... But I was looking if page managing could be easy on it. But no! it has just enabled viewing of page yet... I can't make any post as a page there... and the link sharing is even not enabled.. which for me is a very important feature... this application sucks..!!!!

Why invest millions of dollars improving a product that most people will use no matter how crappy it is? Besides, the less time people spend using the mobile app, the more time they can spend on the full web version, where the advertisements are.
and is it me or does the widget use up more battery now?

Hi all, I was very much surprised to see ICS update on my Atrix 2 in India. Motorola has really done a decent Job on ICS for Atrix 2. Surprise apps like Smart action and beautiful and simple UI.
But I am missing MotoBlur 2.3 UL and Blur Social Netwroking app and Universal Message app. Can can one Rip these apps from 2.3.6 and post here.. Also Weather app.. Thanks in advance
I don't think it's possible to port them, and if it was there is no space left in system partition

The app "Executive Assistant" is a great way to get all of your email & social apps into one widget if that's what you're looking for. Though I don't use it anymore, it served its purpose well when I was addicted to caring about all that useless crap.
If universal messaging app isn't available on ICS, I am never going to upgrade to it. I use 3-4 email accounts and like to have them all available in one place.
No Universal Messaging app

There is no Universal messaging app, no MotoBlur, No MotoBlur widgets. ICS on Atrix is very simple. Moto Didn't do any tweaks in the UI. Also there is no connected Music player which would sync lyrics automatically. Music player is also very bland..

really looks impressive, has every option that the music player in 2.3.6 had and even few more goodies, give it a try.
Player pro is worth paying for too.

Hi can anyone confirm the following things about atrix 2 on ICS:
1. Does your phone auto rotate to landscape in the app menu as before? My phone auto rotates only in the settings menu,youtube & browser.
2. How do i view all home screens at once? Tapping home button on home screen does not display all the home screens at once (unlike in gb).

I believe these are all launcher-specific options, which may not be part of Holo HD. Since I use Novalauncher Prime, it does in fact rotate the app drawer, and double-tap of home brings up desktop previews. Check your launcher settings and verify these options may or may not exist.
Bottom line, not an OS issue, its a launcher issue.
I am on stock ics launcher. I wanted to clarify these 2 points before trying out nova/holo.

But instead this person wants MotoBlur back on ICS and wants it back "urgently". Oh the humanity...

I have ripped MotoNav (Network independent GPS) from Milestone XT720 (2.1) and installed in Atrix. It is working very fine except the resolution. I think, 2.3 apps from atrix will work on ICS. I will work on it if I get a phone with 2.3.6 Shortly, I will get Atrix 2 running on 2.3 (My cousin is using it) Will try to extract and install my Atrix ICS

You mean like Cydia for iOS right? I can't tell if you mean a type of Cydia Store, or a just an app store. I also had an idea for this a couple weeks back.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know what that is but like what I had in mind was a app that has categories etc for apps, and it would be like for root stuff, like root apps or apps from people on here and other forums, to kinda localize everything into a easy to navigate spot so you don't have to search a huge forum for a download to someone's app or have to search play store to find the right root apps, because to me finding root apps on play store can be a pain.
But lime I said its really just a idea and it would be a little difficult to get going and make actually happen.
Also a app where its like daily/weekly updates about peoples stuff, but drippler kinda does that.

I might make this app this weekend. The UI would probably be terrible though. If I made this, it would have a ROMs section, tweaks section (mods to system and stuff), an apps section (root apps only), and an App Developers section (apps that started on XDA or another Android Forum, or just apps that I think are cool but are not on the play store. Once I know that the app works and can successfully download and install apps, I will work on the UI to look like the Play Store, except with the Holo Blue accent instead of the green one. It would be my first app, too. I'm also learning Android Development by Team Treehouse, and they show how you can make an app access the internet and pull things from it (which is saving the apk, and then installing).

u would need permission from xda and it's better that they make it.
xda devs don't only make root apps also having roms would be expensive and unnecessary because they'll have to handle a boatload of downloads and space to store all the roms when file-sharing sites work just fine what would be better is u subscribe to a Rom and get updates and links etc from there...
Anyways
Where did u start learning?

I started learning 2 months ago, and where I started learning was at my school. I can stay in my schools library after school for 2 and a half hours and that's when I learn android development. I have Eclipse and the Android Emulator working fine on the computers over there (with permission of course). I found team treehouse when watching a tech video on YouTube, it was an ad and I clicked on it.

Just don't trust em anymore - Let's see..
I lost trust with Facebook after all the issues they have had with privacy. Also when adding the Facebook Android app about a year ago to my Android phone it basically merged all the pictures and put them in my contact list, sounds fun but it was actually a pain.
Think I'll wait for the reports to come rolling in in this thread before I try it.
Useless waste of resources... So no.

The best part is chat heads and you can use this without installing Facebook home,just update the FB and FB messanger app and allow chat heads I. Settings ,works great and includes sms
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I started using it day 1 and I think it has potential. It allows me to do what I usually do on my phone, but right from the launcher. I didn't really use widget, but it doesn't prevent you from using the regular launcher. I love the Chat Heads, as it helps with texting and keeping track of who you are talking to. Once you are done, just drag their Head down to close the chat window. I like it cause it reminds me to check if I replied to anyone. Some things I don't like is that there is no way to manage your contacts, save contacts, or anything you can normally do on any SMS app. You have to go to the People or SMS app to do that. I think some stuff will be added/fixed over time. Overall, a pretty good experience once you learn how to use it. Took me 30 minutes to find out my apps were a swipe to the right away. Big learning curve.
Here is the app for those with non compatible devices. Good luck.

Not everyone is running high performance apps. As one coworker said, it is iOS for Android in a way. No widgets, just put the apps you will use on the main app window. Everything else is still there, just centered around updates. For most non-power users, it will be fine.
Hey, it is not for everyone. I'm running Mastamoon's CM10.1 unofficial S3, and it runs well for me. Don't like it, just uninstall it.
How to use facebook Home If it is not Supported in my country.
In India
Got it on my htc g2/vision/desire z
I made that my facebook phone, and had before this thread only the fb app installed, got around 5-7days with stock battery and constant w-lan connection
Since fb home I am down to 3d without constant w-lan connection (off over night)
So, although it is very nice and I personally think that this is no lockscreen anymore in a sense of LOCKscreen, so you can go right ahead, it kinda drains very much :/
Will leave it this and maybe next week, but then I'll see how it works out
Also, needing quite much of the little RAM I got there :/
