HTC Weather addins

I feel like I searched everywhere! On my TP2 with MSMobile, there was an addin for more weather locations for the Weather Theme. I found one link to directions for the Android saying if you press the add locations/search you can get gmaps to come up and select from there, but it won't work on the Incredible. Anyone know how?
By the way, this thing is amazing! Too bad it's not Global!

Yeah on my old Hero if I pressed search Google maps would come up, but on the Incredible nothing. I'm guessing this is a small bug that will get fixed in a future update. If anyone knows of a fix please let me know.

Hit the weather part of the screen under the clock and it will take you to weather just like the tp2 did. Then you can add to your hearts content with the plus.

Yours must work different, because that's what I did, then it won't find cities. Ashville, Blowing Rock, Hilton Head Island.... examples of popular destinations, but they aren't there.

Feels like there are only 10 cities in their list. Really sad.

[Q] My video for a Homescreen Launcher proposal

I want to create a new launcher and ive been reading the internet for tutorials and been messing with google app inventor but it just hasnt been working out.
im limited to design work and the idea is in my head but i need help with someone who knows how to code. heres a rough draft i did a few minutes ago to show an idea of what i want. theres still a lot of features i want to show but i didnt feel the need to put them all in this little sketch video.

Hey, that looks pretty awesome.
Couple of questions though.
1) Is that a widget your intending for the centre of each screen, or is it the only place you can put icons?
2) Is the gap at the top and bottom being reserved for anything?
3) The dock bar at the bottom is showing differant icons on each 'screen'. Intended? Are they screen independant or do differant screens show differant icons?
4) What design reason is that large 'apps' rectangle at the bottom? Is that being filling by something else?

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

What app in the Lebron James commercial?

Silly question but in the awesome Note 3 commercial making fun of the iPhone with Lebron James they use the popup pen thing and then easily select him on the screen, add it to a background, sms it, etc. You can see some edit stuff up at the top. I tried all of the apps and none of them look like what they show. What app are they using for it?

Literally S-Note. You sure you looked through all the apps
Also, for selecting him, he held down the button on the spen and then traced around him. Then he pressed the thing that looks like a magnet in the top left to activate what is essentially a magnetic lasso.
Cheers.

Go to youtube, there's a heap of video's that discuss he features of the note 3. Some give demonstrations.
S-note actually gives you tutorials to fully use the awesome features present in our note 3. I suggest you try them out a few times until you know how to do it yourself...

idiots
No matter how many forums I go to everyone seems to have the same "stupid" disease! If I ask how to do something it seems they give you every answer but the right one! So for all you non - idiots here is EXACTLY how you put lebron james in the sky like the commercial. And I'm not just going to tell you "it's a app!" Wow! Really?? Ok step 1- Google clouds than go to images of clouds. Than find a nice one then hold image then select save image.Then go to your gallery. Find your cloud pic and share it with your s-note.(when you share it with it s-note, it will copy pic to your s-note clipboard) Then Google "lebron dunk". Then find a nice one, hold image, than save image.Then go to gallery find your lebron dunk pic. Then remove your s-pen, hold down s-pen button as you hold s-pen on screen. Then trace around lebrons figure.(if you do it right you will see a line of dashes as you trace him) After you trace him it will give you options. At the bottom of screen share it copy figure to s-note. It will once again copy to s-note clipboard. Then go to s-note. Then click on + symbol and start a new note. Then once your in a new note there is a small pic symbol and +symbol at bottom left hand corner of page.click on that.click on images. Go to gallery then select your clouds. Then your cloud will appear then you can stretch the pic with cursors horizontally and vertically so that the cloud takes up whole page. Once you have a full cloud on screen click your pic and + symbol at bottom lefthand corner button again. Then go to clipboard. Choose your cutout of lebron james pic. It will appear on top of your clouds. You will also need to stretch lebron so he Fits nicely in your clouds. And whalla!!!!! From here you can either save it your s-note by clicking checkmark at top righthand corner of screen as a new note and rename lebron or you can go to air command and do a screen right and it will save to your gallery. And that how you do it. EXACTLY HOW!! NOT " UM ITS An AP!! OR DUH, ITS S-NOTE! NO **** SHERLOCK!!! I hope this helps.

The irony in your comment is that simply he asked what app they used and you did exactly what you said was stupid. All he needed was the name and you gave him a load of crap that wasn't even part of his question. Take your own advice to heart next time.

Ermmmm, before you go off on another one, grammar and spelling make posts easier to read! And yes, you should use 'then' rather than 'than' when describing the method used to achieve a goal.

I count 6. I go on an entire rant( for the people with an amazing vocabulary yet the brain of on orangutan, that means I went on and on about a particular subject). Wow! The only thing you got out of all that was my punctuation? Anyways, you've got to know when people ask for help, surely there has to be a better alternative(better way of doing something) than directing them to youtube or user manual???? Furthermore, saying s-note will send an average person toying for days to try and figure out how to do that. Well that is unless your a ****ing nerd and have nothing better to do than go to Starbucks and sit on your laptop and check people's grammar. And Mr Rogers, "irony and "load of crap shouldn't be used in the same paragraph. I mean you're trying to be smart but also sound like a dumb redneck at the same time. I'm just saying. And mullet mister, what kind of word is errmmmm??????I I used poor grammar and your speaking alien. Tell you what if my name was mullet mister I wouldn't be talking about anyone. Then then then then then you fix the problem then you figured something out without a custom built retarded detour than you say goodnight because you have a life and are not a devoted member of xda. Now that's 7 then's. Not counting the previous 6. (Previous- the one before) ok so I counted all my then's. Where's my note 3 ***** then? That's poor grammar and a "then" for you. 22

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
