[Q] Android Diagonal minimal text - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, first off. Being that this is my first post, I can't post in a developer specific thread, but rest assured I have done a search first.
What i am in search of is a widget app that can do minimal text in a diagonal form.
I currently have minimalistic text which is an absolutely brilliant app. My homescreen has the days of the week across the top, and while sitting admiring the finished piece, I though..."it would look great if the text was on a 45 degree angle" or something like that.
Do any of you know of an app that does this already?

OOps. Sorry. and thanks.

[Q] [REQ] - Simple spyglass-type zoom app for homescreen/apps

Hello folks. I'm new, and I'm sorry in advance if this has been asked.
I know there are many complaints about font sizes on android phones. It appears each app has their own too. As someone who needs reading glasses, my phone is really hard to use without them.
So, I started looking for a simple "spyglass" type app that would magnify a part of the screen (whereever the finger is touching). There is NOTHING out there. I can't imagine it being too hard (granted...I haven't learned java/Android yet)?
Essentially, launch the app, then move your finger over the screen, and a preset rectangular area centered on your finger would double or triple the pixels. I'm far sighted, and reading my phone without granny glasses is a pain.
Anybody have any skills they feel like flexing? It would be great if the app ran as a service so you could magnify ANY pixels (no matter what app was running...or simply the homescreen).
Even better-> The "hard button" on our Android phones that is reserved for searching...if that could be modified to launch said "spyglass" tool.....you would win lots of kudos!
Thanks for letting me post. I know of various font tricks and apps, but they are not very slick.

Hi Blee00,
Nice application, exactly what I was looking for. Only suggestion at this point that I would make is a brighter color for the icon. Being mostly black in color, it blends into the black notification bar on the HTC Evo and becomes difficult to see (might I suggest yellow with black strips in place of black with white strips?)
Looking forward to future updates and thanks for the great work.
Very good app! Works just the way it should, Just wrote an article about it for the XDA Front Page, should see it online over the weekend
Cheers,
CK
Works great! I'll fiddle with it over the next few days and see how stable it is on my phone.

That is planned for the next version
I was just so happy I managed to get the icon kinda good looking so now Im a bit afraid to fiddle around with it ^^
But I am gonna make something like an icon-picker so u can have different icons for different notes, also change the default icon.
Thanks for the response everyone =)
Great! I have tried several "Post-it" apps and they were all just too much. I'll see how this one works out for me, i love how simple it is.
Thanks!
Hi, I have been using your app for month now and it is my favorite for creating quick reminders or have things that I have a hard time remembering accessible.
If I may have a suggestion:
So far there is the option of having no notification icon or having one for each note.
Aside that having one for each does imo not really add any functionality, on low res devices this quickly fills up the notification area (Though I prefer it to no notification). I personally am all for choice, so I do not suggest taking away any existing features, but it would be a nice option for me to have a single icon with a small number indicating how many notes are stickied to the notification area at the moment. This would help people who do want to sticky lots of notes or who have a low resolution device.
(A different option would be to make it possible by an option to let notifications with the same icon stack.)
In any ways the app is really useful for me, 5*.
nice app! gave it 5 stars and an enthusiastic comment (look for hvoltage)
i do agree with the above poster regarding the color of the sticker. keep it simple or (if you'll fulfill all the requests) you'll end up with a new calendar app at least
thank you!
Awesome! This is just what I have been wanting!
AWESOME!!
i ve been looking for this type of apps for quite a long time for my daily to do list. Great job!!!5/5.....keep it up!!
I love simple apps that just do what they're supposed to. Thanks!
Also, I agree with Rendarion's suggestion about having an option to toggle multiple note icons in the notification area.
I suggest the next update include the ability to have web links in the title and comment fields. That would make this 6 out of 5 stars. Currently 4.5 in my book. Keep going with this, it will be a good one to have.
Thanks.

I second these suggestions about the icons!
Just saw this from the XDA front page. Great app! I've been wanting something like this for a while
Would love to see ability to add a new note from the taskbar

Thanks for all the replies =)
So fun to see that people might enjoy and use the things I've created.
Other icons are coming, hopefully in the coming week. Im away this weekend so I cant work anything now, but Im soon home again and then I can start working! =)
Thanks for the post on the front-page of XDA-developers, doubled the downloads on one day, thats always nice
Awesome Application dude.
Hat's off to ya
Great application, to the point and simple. Keep up the good work!
New version out. Added more icons and custom times.
Sorry for this, but where can i get this app?? I thought it would be attached to this thread??
EDIT: Sorry again, found the answer to that... How stupid of me..

email in Weapon 3.0 (ROM)

First off, I am sure this belongs over in the thread in the development section. However, I am unable to ask in that particular thread because I am too new to the game. Please be kind to me and keep the flamming to a low simmer.
I have Weapon 3.0 installed and running smoothly. In fact, I have only 1 complaint, if you can even call it a complaint. when I use the email app (not gmail) the background is white. The accounts / messages are also a shade of white/grey. I can't stand this style. Am I simply missing a very simple step here? I don't see how to switch to the black background, which I prefer.
As an example, if you go into messaging you will see you can switch between the white and black backgrounds.
Thank you in advance for not yelling at me for not having this in the correct thread. As I stated before, the forum rules prevented me from doing so. Also I read quite a bit of the pages on that ROM thread. However, there are over 240 pages. I didn't see anything that jumped out at me.
I was wondering the same thing, I also wanted to know how to get a black google search bar, Im surprised all that work went into the rom and it comes with a white searchbar
There's a fix posted in the G2x themes and apps section

Will you Marry me? [APP] Geeky Love

This is inspired by robo4130 geeky way of professing his love for his soon to be wife. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771509
I thought about making an application that does a similar thing, without having to bother about a LWP. Gratz btw robo.
The app has most of the functionality I was going for, but the UI needs a huge revamp.
Current features :
- Add a name to the message
- Add up to four lines showcasing your love
-- Each line is separately added
- Add a personalised message
--Default is 'Will you marry me?' , but this can be changed to 'Will you go out with me?' etc
- Option to add a personalised background
- Set the app to display your message on application startup
If you guys like it, I could add in sounds and UI changes and some wallpapers included in app.
I have narrowed down most bugs, but if you find any, please post here.
I tried to it out on my samsung infuse running cm9. It works well. If i understand the concept a person goes in beforehand and sets it up with their words. Then when you are ready to show it you start the app then press start and the words appear on the screen?
I understand its a basic start but its a good start you have going. I would definitely like to see some ui enhancements and some sound. Maybe even let you pick a chopped mp3 sound. Or include a couple premade sounds that are timed with when the words appear on the screen. And a live wallpaper effect for a background would be neat too.
I did notice that it displayed the text in the upper left part of my screen. Any way to get it centered in the middle?
Good luck and thanks.

Thanks very much.
I will try to make the UI look nicer Inshallah.
Main problem might be sounds. Firstly, I am not experienced with SFX and I have just a faint idea of where to find them copyright free. I found a neat website but I am not sure if it will have the sounds that I'm looking for. I wil probably use specific tracks and not unique effects because they are easier to find.
If anyone has any that I can add, it would be much appreciated.
Secondly, timing I think is crucial. I will try to make it spot on. I would love to hear/see a lovey-dovey song playing in the background while a dude sits on his knees and hands his (soon to be) wife an Android phone with those 4 magic words displayed on the surface
Regarding the text placement.
That is just temporary. So many times before I have made an app and have thought of posting but have always given up due to laziness and my short attention span.
I nearly went to sleep mid way so decided to post as is.
I hope to have 2 options. One. display in the middle. Two. Display it diagonally.
I could also make option to add hearts, roses, chocolates etc. Anything that raises the odds of getting the right answer

Gallery PHOTO EDITOR Eye Dropper Missing

After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.
I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!
Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)
1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.
2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.
3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.
4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!
I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!
I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!
I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!
Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?
I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.
I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.
Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.
If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.
I'll also do the same.
You mean this?
To do this?
Thanks ?
That option does not show up if you have selected the edit dialogue box to pop up after you screencap, as it used to.
But this is very helpful. THANK YOU!
It's on the color palette now
