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.

Is it an act? Maybe I really proposed to her....maybe I really met her and filmed this so that If she said yes, I would have it on camera

Awesome video dude! I don't know of many Android developers willing to go as far as make a video....Well done and hilariously awkward!

Sorry....can't give you her number cause I sorta screwed things up....

what's with all the permission requests with this app?
gps, sms, record audio ....
are they needed for something?

TMZBEME,
I took the stock Android camera, so this app has the exact same permissions. GPS is because the stock camera allows you to geotag photos, record audio is a remnant from the video recording, which I could do away with.

hunterp,
That is and awesome and very creative video! Kudos to you for a great sense of humor and a way to introduce your app. I will certainly keep your app in mind (how could I not? ). Very nicely done.
Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the encouragement!!
Have you seen Android's new official app webpages? You can actually click the install button on the webpage (on any computer!!!) and the app downloads on your phone....amazing....
I have two versions of Big Camera Button which you can obtain using the new web buttons at:
http://www.bigcamerabutton.com/
Thanks!!

I removed the logo from all versions of the free app. Now the free app is really usefull

Woo what an innovative app. Lets make a big button and charge $0.99 for it lol.

Well, it was a response to my first app which is quite innovative. Its called Shout n' Snap http://shoutnsnap.com the thing is, its socially awkward sometimes to yell at your phone. Therefore, the natural step is to make a silent version.

[Q] Screen Shots

Does anyone know any other apps that can take screen shots with a rooted phone besides PicMe and ShootMe?

http://www.androidcentral.com/taking-screenshots-without-root

Shootme in market.

I like Screen Shot It, available in the market, but like anything its all about personal preference. I had issues with Shootme, but many love it.
Try em all, pick your favorite.

Yes, I agree with Bella. Screen Shot It is really good. Has the option to save as JPEG or PNG. Really easy to use also.

The only downside is it buries the images, which I can't for the life of me find a way to point the save-to directory elsewhere. But small price to pay for a solid app in my opinion.

Yes, this is true. It does allow you to crop, share or save the screenshot after its done. Share option is handy if you want to post it on facebook, flickr, email, mms.....
Edit: Also, the screenshot images show up in gallery so this way you don't have to go digging for the images.

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??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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.

For us few

I found a hone replacement that is clean and semi 3d and a nice lock screen that has taking my mind off sense temporarily lol
Its called Regina launcher if u pull and hold down it goes to a.carousel like 3d view of ur homescreens
Its not laggy or slow by any means comes with a weather.clock widget that is veryyyyy nice
And ripple lock is a honeycomb imitation lock that goes well with it
Just for.those who want something new

Ah, I played around with that home launcher, really new and awesome idea. For some reason it was a bit laggy for me, not sure why. And I was getting annoyed by the 3d switching screens thing. But all in all, anyone who wants a change, that's a cool home launcher

Ok, I took a look and I liked it...I wanted to love it...but came away with the feeling that it wasn't quite fully baked. It definitely does things differently and I'm keeping my eye on it. A bit more development and polish and this could end up on my phone full time. If you are looking for something different you can't go wrong by taking a look.
Good find OP...thanks for the post.

I use it from time to time, I like that you can have a different wallpaper for each screen. I like the clock to.
