Question for veteran themer... - General Questions and Answers

I'm changing some pngs on my rom and I'be been able to find most of the ones I want to change. But I cannot find for the life of me the default image for logs and favorites. The image that is displayed if no picture is assigned. I changed it in contacts and it is changed there as well as history. I've looked in dialer tab activity, phone, and phone utility. ? Where the heck is it? I'm using gingerbread jw1.

XDA App - Enhancement/s ideas???

Hi All,
I've been quite closely following Alterbridge and his Overcome GB custom rom, and since i travel around alot, its been so worth my while following it through the XDA app.
The app itself is clean, no extra fuss, and gives exactly what you ask for. What i'm driving at here is, do you feel its missing anything? Maybe we can get the developer to join us and see if they like our ideas and possibly add them to the app.
i'll go first - i think the option to THANK someone in the forums, if they helped you in any way could possibly be added to the menu (for me in android, its long-pressing menu drop-down on a specific post )
The app itself is VERY similar to Tapatalk but its missing one of my must-have features. I would love there to be a "dark" theme that uses white text and a black background instead of black text and a white background. Just something to think about.
xda app
i still can't figure out how to post with it
Search function, being able to see the smileys instead of text wrapped in colons, ability to re-arrange the order of the favorites list, and the ability to attach files other than images.
I use the XDA app alot, probably more than I visit XDA on my PC, so I guess the little things that the tapatalk app don't do tend to bug me a little after awhile lol.

There is an option to use different themes. Press menu/more/settings/display style. And you want the simple theme.

how to remove android phone call screen pic?

you know when you make a call on stock android and you dial a number and you get a picture of the android on your screen and likewise the same happens if someone calls you (this is as long as you havent assigned pictures to your contacts or you are calling someone not on your contact list).
is it possible to edit something in the rom (stock or custom) so that the android picture doesnt show up on the screen?
That would prolly be done in dialer.apk, but I think it's coded in...

Look in system/app

Probably not the solution you're looking for but in MIUI rom, if they don't have a picture, all it shows is your lockscreen wallpaper. I bet an alternative dialer like Go Contacts might do the same thing you're looking for.
I believe its in the framework-res apk in the hdpi-finger file

Anyone know an app that does this?

I would like to be able to put shortcuts on the home screen which correspond to different camera settings, for example one shortcut for macro mode and one for normal, OR, have different camera shortcuts which correspond to different folder locations, for example one labeled "family" and one labeled "photography". Anyone know how to do this?

Have you tried anycut

I just tried it, it doesnt seem to be able to do this.

I don't have anything to say on the matter, because I don't have an idea apart from the already mentioned AnyCut.
I would strongly advise you, however, to change the title to something more meaningful and descriptive-- like "Q: camera settings via shortcuts" or something similar, because a generic and utterly non-descriptive title like the one you used here will not entice the more knowledgeable forum dwellers to enter your thread to finally read what you''ve put up here. You'll have to wait for an eternity to get a more definite answer.
Just my $ 0.02.
What about where it says "make your own" I'm sure you can set defaults and values to the locations and actions you need. For that you need an experienced person, or you can always email the developer of the app.

If I am not mistaken, Camera 360 Ultimate has an option to create such shortcuts!

Changing font type for e-mail app

Hi guys,
I use my tab heavily for work, meaning that I send and receive a lot of e-mails. Is there a possiblity to change the font from Times New Roman to something like Calibri or something? If I remember correctly I had this option on the GT-N7000 but it disappeared there as well. Maybe I am missing something ?
Thanks.

Anyone?
You can change fonts under system/display, but charge is systemwide .

Not sure if that changes the font you write e-mails in... rather the display fonts....

Edit
I suggest you trying some other email apps out there, I'm sure some will have the feature you're looking for. If it's really, really important there's always the possibility to use an app like Dreamviewer and control your PC remotely from the tablet. That way you can use your own client at the computer at work and aren't limited to what the tablet can and can't.

Looked all over for a home screen apps sorter

Ok guys I've looked everywhere but found nothing. I am looking for an app that simply sorts home screens apps in some order. I don't want one that makes folders. I want to just be able to use the app to sort every now and then and just close it afterwards. Thanks

I am confused I guess. I don't understand exactly what you are looking for. You want an app to organize your apps on your home screen? Can't you just just organize them how you want them on your home screen? Maybe I don't understand exactly what you are looking for.

Action Launcher gives an alphabetical list similar to windows phone.
If I understand correctly, you want an equivelant to the windows shortcut for "sort by name/type/date modified" for your homescreen, or for your appdrawer.
I echo the thoughts of others in asking why. It's not like your homescreen can accumulate dozens of apps the same way a desktop can pick up dozens of shortcuts, or that they are difficult to get rid of or sort yourself. Folders work fine... also, there are widgets such as Glovebox and CircleLauncher which will allow you to create live groups of self-hiding icons.
but Android is an open OS, so the simple answer is, if there's something you want that doesn't exist, just build it yourself. this, however, seems to be something that would be at the launcher level, not the level of a widget or app.
Exactly. But for people like me who hate using app drawer I think there should be some kind of stock setting
