Hi There, I am a partially sighted user who has bought a motorola xoom. I also have an iPad and I have been looking for an app on the xoom which is built into iOS. It's the white on black feature, also known as colour inversion.
I have searched the market place high and low for such an app using all different search terms, i.e negative, inverted etc etc but I can't find anything. The native white background on web pages or any other text intesive apps really over strains my eyes, sometimes to the point where I have trouble making out the words of text. I also use the negative feature on my PC and is a much more comfortable experience.
I would like to know if anyone has come across such an app for android? I really love my xoom but I can't yet replace my iPad for using on the train to read the web because of my trouble.
Apologies if this was posted in the wrong section, it was difficult to know which category it fits into.
This might require root access. Anyways, good luck.

My device is already rooted but I still have no idea how to do it! Any ideas?
Your best bet on this may be to wait on chainfire 3d being updated for honeycomb.. one of the night modes may work great for you.

In the browser settings on my phone, I see an option to invert color of web pages. That could be a good place to start.
Hope you get it all worked out.
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I was hopeful about the option in the web browser settings suggested but unfortunately this option doesn't appear in the settings for the xoom. Its a real shame re the complete lack of native accessibility options built into the implementation of the OS by motorola.

Anyone??? I am pretty desperate for something that can help. At least until the 3d solution mentioned above is available.

forgive me if this has been posted somewhere.
Is there a way to receive notifications from my EVO 3D on my Transformer?
the only thing i can think of is maybe like vnc server apps like that i know i can access my phone from my tablet home screen and all ... i think that might be the best option of apps similar to that.
That was the first thing i considered also. Seems like a battery drainer to keep running all the time(in my head anyway). I was hoping for a bluetooth type option(also a drainer lol).
Sorry on bluetooth option,not much I can suggeest on that one good luck

Hi guys, I wanna know whether something wrong with phone/market or everyone experiences the same thing. The issue is market shows maybe 1% of the total hits. For example if I search clock in the market then it says 21000 as result but when I start to scroll down it shows only 2_3 pages and stops there as if thats it, no more apps.
I did not experience this with the old market. I have gs2 and no root.
Anything I can do??
Thnx

Noone has the same issue? I really appreciate an answer.

I have the same problem and have not gotten an answer either. Say I search for "root" 50 apps will show up, but at the top out will say 2000. But I want to see them all. I don't get it.

I deleted all cache and data etc and same thing even deleted market and reinstalled så need some advise here.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I did that too. the only way to get it back to normal is to install the old market. Your going to have to root to do that. Just revert back and freeze the updater
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I don't like the new market. So many developers are loosing money by not having their apps visable. Plus google isn't any help. Tried that too

I have the same issue. Also, some of the pictures are not working.
If I check out a app the small preview pictures are fine but if I touch them to fit the screen I have problems viewing them. Usually the second one is only a black screen.

I have been using the mms_cyan.apk
Found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901216
And have been quite happy with it, with a couple exceptions. 1) It does not show the notification on my lock screen like my stock mms app does and 2) found out last night than anytime I go to send an audio or video file, the app FC's. If anyone could help me either figure out how to resolve these 2 issues or if it's too complex for someone who had little to no experience working w/ apks perhaps resolve it and tell me what had to be done so that I can learn from the experience I would be greatful.
I have included my stock mms.apk, the mms_cyan.apk, as well as my framework-res.apk in the zip file.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I am using a LG-C800 on 2.3.4 if that matters
Any idea guys? And this may need to be moved to the Android specific forum?

But where would I begin to try and resolve the issue? I'm pretty computer savvy, but programming and the like has never really been my strong suite; although not afraid to try if pointed in the right direction.
The files u downloaded, r they designed for your phone?
Sent from my HTC_A510c
I haven't been able to find anything designed for my phone yet. Newer model. But everything works aside from being able to send audio or video sends pictures fine.
That might be why then, maybe
Sent from my HTC_A510c
Actually, just tested it and I can't send any mms with this app... can receive just fine though. Where would I have to start to make the mms_cyan compatible? Cause the stock mms app sucks horribly, cannot even choose what folder to download attachments to. Really like the one I'm using but the limitation of not being able to send an mms just isn't a viable option...

Ok so after looking at the logcat I'm seeing that for picture messages it's being denied by the server for some reason... as for the problem with adding audio and it crashing I'm still at a loss... any dev able to possibly offer some insight?
Sent from my LG-C800 using xda premium
if it worked in ur phone place the apk in the rom and reload it, if never worked, the apk might not be for your phone
Maybe the mms.cyan is missing files from your stock mms.apk
Any idea as to where to start? After decompiling both apks with autoapktool and looking in the folders the stock has a lot more folders inside, but don't know where to begin narrowing it down as to where the problem may lie. Thanks in advance...

what its mms.cyan can change skin?
It appears to be a modded stock mms.apk with the option of a white or black background and with the black background the names on the main conversation screen as well as 'new message' are colored cyan as well as the default contact image is modded, really like the app and wish I could get some help to mod it to work on my phone properly...

I'm in about the same boat as you as far as skills go. If we can get dev attention to a ClorkworkMod recovery, then CyanogenMod (which I assume is where your preferred MMS comes from, judging by the name) opens up to us. The MyTouch Q is supposed to get an OTA update to ICS second quarter of this year, so it can definitely run the latest stuff-- even when bloated down with T-Mo apps and CarrierIQ. It's really a neat slider.
Yeah, after tweaking the phone some its pretty quick and love the fact its a slider... keep checking into the post hoping they will figure out cwm for the c800 but no such luck so far.
And judging from the original post where I found the mms_cyan, the OP has a lot of posts for HTC so thinking it was from one of those roms... but having no luck so far figuring out where to start so I can mod it to work fully on my phone.... not that I have any programming knowledge anyhow but... lol

Ok, so since I've been unable to figure this out on my own... I would gladly donate to whoever can figure this out so that I can have the Mms.apk that I want.

Almost hate to bump such an old post of mine, however still have been unable to figure out how to modify my prefered mms.apk to work as the stock mms does. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tried the alternative messaging programs out there and none are what i'm looking for...

I have extracted the Amazon Instant Video app from my Google TV device. It opens on the Note 8, you can select videos, but on trying to actually stream the video you selected, it crashes. If there are any talented people on this forum who want to try playing with the .apk file to see if they can fix it, or if there's someone willing to host this file, let me know and I will email it to you.

You would also need to get the Flash enabled version of GTV Chrome working, since that is really what the app relies on.
EDIT: At least that is the case on the Sony NSZ-GT1. If it is different for your device, I'll have a look, but from what research I have done, it is not an easy task & it will involve a few modifications that will not sit well with other apps or the Play Store.
Post it up though, I just got my dev environment setup on my new machine & the missus will be out of town this weekend.
Unfortunately you're right. The Google TV Chrome app will not install on the Note.
There doesn't seem to be a way to post files through the XDA app, but I can email them to whoever wants them.

Well, I have to report that I have had little luck getting this to work on any non-GTV device. I even built an AOSP build with using a GTC boardconfig. No luck.
I am very pissed with Amazon though, so I went & bought a LTE KF HD 8.9 & I am going to play with getting it working on other tablets. Man I hate the Kindle stock experience. Thank goodness for root. I'll let you know if I find a simple way to get it running, but it will take some time as business is wicked crazy right now.
Any luck?

Yes & no. I have firstly been playing with the Nexus 10 & the KF HD 8.9. I was able to finally get AVOD to work on the Nexus 10, BUT, *BUT*, I essentially had toport the entire KF rom to the Nexus 10. It is buggy & there are some graphical & resolution issues, but it worked.
The only other instance I have found was also similar. A guy got it working on a Galaxy Tab, essentially doing the same thing, porting the whole KF rom.
You could of course use a different launcher, but it is still ICS, 4.0.3, & aside from losing a lot of the N10 cool features, it really is far from stable. I don't have a lot of time for this stuff at the moment, work is crazy busy these days. At any rate, I am going to see if I can try to go about it the other way & try to port some of the KF framework & core apps to JB when I get some time. Right now though, it is a no go.
