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.

Setting iPhone Size Wallpapers

Ok so I'm a bit obsessed with wallapapers, and I've found a lot that I like but many are for the iPhone. When I go to set them as my wallpaper I can only set them as a widescreen even if the wallpaper scrolling is off. Does anyone know how to change this, while still allowing me to go back and forth from the setting?

...no one ever answers me

I would like to know as well. It's kinda annoying that it forces you to crop a section out.

You could try to resize the pic on ur pc then reinstall on the device?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

No matter what size the photo is you always have to crop it with the widescreen size (or whatever you want to call it). I was looking online and it says you need to change the API but that sounds way to complicated for me and it also sounds like its difficult to change back.
Ps- thanks for posting, I was feeling a bit lonely haha

hopefully this will solve everyones problems:
Download Dodol Wallpaper Maker from the Market and it should size up any image to your screen. All my wallpapers are iphone ones

The most awesomest pic viewer evAHR! !

Guys just want to share: today " gallery" decided to take a crap. Its on some kind of bootloop I guessed you'd call it. If you have this experience and can help cool, but that's not why I made this thread. I found the best friggin pic viewer and wanted to share! Its called " quickpic" dl from market and check it! Pics load super quick and slidshow is way smooth! Really happy with it. Give it a try and tell gallery to f- off!

Yea its ok been out for awhile, I know alot of people were using it on fauxs. Rom cuz the gallery was messed up, or u couldn't see internal SD so this app lets u see every pic

settle down please. your excitement over a picture viewing app scares me.

its a realy nice app, i loaded about 10,000 images on my sd the stock gallery would die trying to load it, while this app loaded up fine and smooth

Does it run a service in the background constantly, and does it draw on the cpu much? Ads?
edit: I decided to find out for myself... no service in the background, no noticeable cpu draw, and no ads...very fast sorting of all photos, smooth interface. Shortcuts to camera, and share-to's work well. Allows hidden folders...very nice find...thanks.

Awesome app. I'm gonna use it.

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).
App to download and install... [EDITED] Please refer to 7th post in this thread

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.

Installed and works without a hitch. Pretty cool. Thanks. :thumbup::thumbup:

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

Facebook Home Discussion

Quick recap of today's event. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Liveblog-Facebooks-new-Home-on-Android-announcement_id41518
Anyone else going to try it out? Opinions?

Ooh yes, i really like it! I hope it will be extended to other phones because i havent'got one of those. I think it's a perfect launcher for those that use a lot facebook
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app

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.

Using it right now, takes a little bit of time to get used to. But if you use Facebook allot then i say get. The chat heads are pretty useful.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

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 :/
