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.

Ok so I'm a bit obsessed with wallapapers, and I've found a lot that I like but many are for the iPhone. When I go to set them as my wallpaper I can only set them as a widescreen even if the wallpaper scrolling is off. Does anyone know how to change this, while still allowing me to go back and forth from the setting?

I would like to know as well. It's kinda annoying that it forces you to crop a section out.
You could try to resize the pic on ur pc then reinstall on the device?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
No matter what size the photo is you always have to crop it with the widescreen size (or whatever you want to call it). I was looking online and it says you need to change the API but that sounds way to complicated for me and it also sounds like its difficult to change back.
Ps- thanks for posting, I was feeling a bit lonely haha

Very cute, so many choices. Thanks you
Ok so on our HTC lock screens its nice when playing music that the play/forward/rewind buttons are still accessible without having to lock it.
Is there an apk to have more functions like my Agenda that is coming up from calendar or incoming text messages without having to unlock it. Its nice that maybe we can just check it and then reply back later.
Your help is appreciated. I hope something exists...
I'm using Coredroid V4.0 BTW if that makes any difference.
Thanks.

the iphone had only one feature that our phone doesn't have.I've seen screen shots if other phones with the feature and am wondering if we can get it....
the iphone had thebottom for icons that remain when you jump from screen to screen and is configurable. what is that called and do we have something like that?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You can use shootme for screen shots and some ROMs like MIUI have it built in. And for the 4 icons that don't move alternative launchers like ADW and Launcher pro etc. have that and it wont movie when you move screen and you can change it to your needs

Miui is a rom that looks just like the iphone. it has the 4 icon dock. You can hold and drag the icons to change them up. Miui is a look alike of the ios.

Look at adw ex it has a second dockbar that can be used on any screen and is configurable.
thanks for the two replies...
i found them to be buggy and/or insufficient because i lost all the htc sense features. or maybe coredroid is that good of rom to make me not want to lose what i currently have.
I flashed a mod yesterday that gave me a transparent rosie and also keeps the dock at the bottom on all the home screens. Unfortunately it isn't customizable but it is a nice little add on.

standard practice is to make a Nandroid backup before you flash anything..you did that...right?

Luckily I also got the stock rosie to flash back. It should undo the mod but I haven't tried it myself cause I like the transparent look.

nope,none on the right on my 4 pics,the blue on the left,or the white on the bottom,depends on which pic.
I cant see your pic and guessing no one sees mine
OK, what you are seeing is normal. On some apps and screens, its a notification that you cannot swipe further. I think apple called it some sort of rubber band and android had it switch to a different way of this notification due to patent issues.

Well, the white effect from the top and bottom in most apps, and the blue effect on the sides in the Gallery are a design feature of Android. Just like how iOS has its bounce back effect, Android has this 'holo' thing going for it.

wow,I have been using my HTC one s for a year and a half,and my daughters htc one,and my neighbors nexus 7,and have never seen it.It is really prominent on my phone and fugly...it looks broken,haha,like a speaker magnet sucking my TV screen...can I disable it?
That's because the HTC One S and One run the HTC Sense skin, and don't even run a stock Google OS.
I came from the One S myself... radio broke badly after a failed Maxiums 10 install.
The "glow" is new, kinda weirded me out at first but I've got used to it.
Thank you everyone,every thread has it's good and bad points.
Good point...phone is not broken and I don't have to send it back.
Good point...I have 10 posts so links and pictures will be easier,lol.
Bad point....Realized I am stuck with this ugly feature on my phone...
Time to learn some customizing.
peace
Looks like whatever rom you are running has the old xhdpi calculator from ics/jb judging by the grey bars on the side of the screen. So you have both ICS blue holo and the new white kit kat over scroll glow at the same time. #blametheromdev
good day.

The ROM I am running is what it shipped with from google play..:
Ok, I was wrong on the rom. But you did something to the phone to cause the issue. True stock doesn't look like that. Perhaps an LCD density change that you did?
good day.

It's a screenshot of a screenshot. First looks like he is in the calculator app and second he is in the gallery looking at the screenshot of the calculator app. No idea where the blue came from though. Should be white.
