a few themes (anime related)

^_^ well, im in the process of learning about making themes... and I wanted to share what i have so far.
these all support landscape. They are QVGA.
(I did not draw these... I only made the themes.)
im still struggling with getting the Start menu text from white to black upon changing a theme... Is there a way for this to be done automaticly instead of with a reg tweek on the end user's side? ...
hmm...
*******edit update: whoa! the setting to change start menu colors was right in my face. wow... so im fixing all the ones that need fixed. *done*

Download my all tasks made before 12-21-2006...
(including, christmas and recently fixed versions)
all the others will be posted throughout this thread.
***yet another edit...
I set up a page with my themes located:
http://ookami.n2-network.com/pda/index.html
Feel free to download from there ^

any christmas themed-anime-theme? something in red-white-green would be fine

ah sure ^_^ I didnt make any because Its so close to being over with the season. But yeah, not a problem. As soon as i get home today. Looking forward to it.

These themes are really good, 0okami. I'm using the nekomimi theme now. But you are right that it'd be nice to see the text in black in some of the others.

Must a say nice work !!! Keep it up !

I've got this image.. but lazy to do a tsk. See if you can use it. (PNG in ZIP attcahed)
UPDATE: TSK uploaded. Frosty effect on the start menu. Made the tsk a bit way too big though.

Guys, I'm sure it doesn't need to be said, but try not to go too explicit/hardcore. Ie nothing with four legs or feathers... otherwise, please use your own judgement.

here's another...

(refference from an anime called "mahoromatic" for those who dont know it... its phrase from a maid who dislikes ero ero) I Will comply. (^_^)/

kawaiii !!! dejiko-chan of digi-charat! I Will definetly do some of digi-charat! but that image is a little small to play with.
All things said, here are some more themes for you:
the first one suffers from the same as the other light color ones... the start menu's white text...

Which software package do you use to make these themes, 0okami?

Quite cute!
ennui: isn't it themegence?

This program is pretty cool.

I gota admit, I love some of these themes. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing more!

These are really nice Ookami! Keep up the wonderful work ^_^
I understand which one vijay555 decided to give his warning about. Dp_moe_2 I have that image as one of the 2000 or so images that are randomly selected for my computer's wallpaper ^_^ I also like the xmas ones. It's too bad that the memory in the 8125 is so small since I can't store themes on the storage card >_<

Souseiseki from rozen maiden.

*taken down for a moment. * issue with bg and messages. looks terrible.
*updated... fixed as of 7:27pm.

Guys, just to re-iterate, I love this work. Try not to go too explicit or you'll get Flar on your tail, but otherwise, great work.

[IDEA] Taskmanager with multitouch-utilization

Just putting this out there. I was browsing the web with Opera earlier today, and wanted to switch to one of the other running apps.. I kind of annoyed me having to hit the home-button, start x-task, flipping to apps and switching to the app... Likewise when I wanted to go back to Opera...
I was thinking maybe swipe two fingers vertically on the screen to bring up a semi-transparent task-manager or something?
Anyone up for the challenge? There is already a .NET dll for catching the touchinput on this forum

nice idea! Would love to see that in action - hopefully this reply will put your message back to the top and catch the eye of some of the clever people on here!

Back up to the top!
Yeah sounds like a nice idea

This would be absolutely awesome, and i really hope this will be made

I wrote a little program that launches a task manager when you do a two finger swipe down the screen, I'm cleaning up the code and will have something releasable shortly...
There's a video here.

Develop, develop, develop, we need this

Looks great... can't wait to try it out.

Great concept. It adds a totally new "gesture interface" to the HD2! Is this app. just a preview of what will come? I mean, I can imagine that you develop this concept further into a general launcher in which a user can map all kind of gestures to different applications/tasks. Wow, this is really revolutionairy stuff. Can't wait to try it out.

Fantastic l3v5y! Just what I had in mind

very nice and innovative....

Very nice, l3v5y... Please don't forget us 'lefties' though, when you're configuring and testing it...!
Just to keep the options open... Has anyone looked into the idea of commandeering one of the hard keys to open up an 'App Selector'?
I'm thinking here particularly of the 'Back' key as I can see little point in having this key on a device with a touch screen. However, the mere fact that I have, to date, not seen any 're-mapping' solutions involving this key suggests that it may still be 'out of bounds' to developers...

Getting 'double posts all the time now - very annoying!

This will certainly make life a lot easier! Good piece of work and can't wait for the finished product.

OMG... I cant wait to have this! You sir are a genious l3v5y!... I first read about this on my wmpoweruser rss feeds for the HD2

For GOD sake!!! Release this ASAP!!
When you think small you never get somewhere, when you think different you move forward and forward and.... (ToddeSwe)
Thanks!!! Can't wait to use this very new thinking app!!

WoW ... This is just... WOW Cant wait ! GogoGOgoGoogO

Please let this prog come out real soon....this looks awesome!! Good work l3v5y, cant wait to test.

This is too good to be true. When this prog is out, I will donate some good money. I invite people here to do the same. Masters like l3v5y are a blessing for this community.
By the way master l3v5y:
Here in this forum, there are some taskmanager softwares that have some essential flaws.
1. they are laggy and not fast enough. And they use lots of RAM
2. they don't close the windows when you push the X button in the top-right corner.
3. they don't work in all windows (so that you can switch programs no matter which window you are in).
4. Some of them don't have the Exclusion List.
If this program of yours could solve all of these problems, I will promise you that, you are gonna get a lot of praise and loooots of donations. It would make our HD2 a perfection. Take your time master l3v5y.
And to our friend yngvebn who opened this thread. Good job mate but the idea was found before you did Great thinking by the way.

Looks great! Currently I use the home button and then it goes directly to my 9 shortcuts (yeah I should get more icons there) and press the other apps running in the background. It's been a good solution for me.

[APP] Keyboard for tablets - Development thread

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share an image with you of a keyboard project I'm working on for tablets. Currently all dev and testing is being done on my Galaxy Tab, but next week I'll start working on the xoom screensize port as well.
Info:A free basic multitouch keyboard for tablets, (a paid version with more features may come later, or I may just update the free version)
Features:
-Fast
-Word prediction
-Multitouch
-capability for multilanguage support (depends on interest I guess)
-FREE (My favorite words ever!)
How can you help?
Well as you can see there is some space in the middle of the screen, while I've still setup the keyboard with a seperate symbols keyboard (also tablet/thumb friendly) I'm wondering if there are some 'must have' buttons that should be put in the middle. My thoughts are they should be key's that are essential but not normally used, like arrow keys maybe? There's probably room for about 12 keys? So chime in and let me know.
How do I help not to clog up this thread
I don't need testers thanks. But if I do in the future I'll ask.
When is it coming out! I want it now!
As soon as it's ready, obviously it's mothers day this weekend so don't expect it until next week some time at the earliest.
Final info:
This is not the final theme, although it will be something along these lines probably.. I like a clean, minimalistic approach. Also in the second picture (the symbols) you can see the keys are slightly larger, I've also not decided on the final key size yet.
*Update*,
I've updated the attached pictures with the latest revision, and the initial sizing for the 10.1" Tablets. I've only speant a few minutes with the xoom, but being able to input text with both thumbs while holding it makes all the difference in the world.
*Update*, Portrait orientation fixed for 7 and 10" layout
*Update 05-12* I'm pretty happy where things are at right now with the 7" version. I just need to incorporate those changes into the 10.1" size and it should be basically ready. I've tweaked the sizing a bit since these latest screenshots now that I can put the xoom through more testing. I'll maybe add another couple of languages before release, if not everyone can work on those after. I've kept the additional keys in the space minimal, as I said before I like minimal.

hey that's pretty great. But instead of black is it possible to make the background translucence so as to see the content of the app.

a translucence background is a great idea

Will this require 2.2+?
I know you specified Galaxy Tabs, but I have been messing with a cmp738a craig tablet lately and this is exactly what I have been looking for.
Would be willing to test it if you are willing to add support.

I have played around with a Xoom for a while and this looks like a great replacement for the stock keyboard.
One thing I really miss on the Xoom is the ability to quickly write numbers by long pressing the alphabetic keys (secondary keys in general would be nice).
Frequently used keys in the middle seems great, a few symbol keys would fit nicely there. I find myself typing @ a lot, but other than I can't think of anything (except numbers) that I type often.

Nice.
The screen res of the Galaxy tab is the same on my Nook running CM7 Gingerbread 2.3.4.
So I would like to help test if possible. This looks lime a nice project.

thanks for the offer though

Portugal here, i can help with pt-PT translation

numbers
numbers in the middle would be very helpful and a .com thank u for this

What about the international characters? It would make no sense to limit your work to English language, especially in times of European Community. If possible, it should be more explicit than they Android standard one.

Perfect it was a customizable panel, on which we could put our preferred characters/smiles/etc

Looks nice. An @ button instead of an emoticon button might be used more in the default layout. Also, left and right arrow keys in case someone misspells a word & do not want to delete all letters or try to tap the exact space before the wrong letter.

How does it look like in potrait mode?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Well its really designed for tablets and landscape mode.. on the todo list is portrait layout.
As for the @ sign and the number keys. They'll be setup on the symbols keyboard(as per the pic) and with long presses. Though honestly its faster to access them on the symbols keyboard than by long pressing.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Reminds me this keyboard a lot.

a.) I wish it could look that good
b.) there's not way it'll have the same level of features.. well not 'no way', but not likely at all

Arrow Keys
Arrow keys are a must.

Initial concept looks pretty good. Things that stand out for me as a Xoom user with slightly more space:
Ability to swap between traditional and thumb layout
Arrow keys would be fantastic
Long press for secondary symbols much like GB keyboard.
Thanks for your efforts.

latest updates added. Thanks for all your feedback guys. A couple of notes.
this is for a tablet layout, the original layout will not be available to switch between, the portrait is fairly close to stock.
I haven't added in arrow keys as of yet, and don't think I will before release. In all my years with android I've never needed them so why add more clutter.

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.

@skyliner
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

[APP][2.3.3+] PilotKey (allows texting closing your eyes!)

PilotKey allows you to enter text with easy and fast finger tip gestures anywhere on the keyboard. It can also speak out every key you enter. This means you don't have to look at the keyboard while entering text. It can free up your eyes to focus on the text input or suggestions and enable you to write longer texts. PilotKey makes the experience of entering text in phones more comfortable and it can help you in various multitasking situations like noting down text from some source or person, messaging while watching TV, searching for places while walking etc. PilotKey can also help you with privacy while entering text in public places.
It takes about a week time to get used to PilotKey but after getting used to it traditional keyboards will become stressful to use. This is because of the fact that looking at text being written is much more comfortable than looking at the keys which requires random shift of eye focus. The demo of this app can be seen at youtube video "M1zk1v9XJxQ"

Seems promising. Will give it a try. Thanks!

It looks tricky to getting started (used for a few minutes only), but the promised goal is awesome. :good:

Very interesting - I really like the idea
However I need Danish letters and preferred spell-check before it really works for me. Let me know if there's anything I can do to make that happen

looks cool but the ui is kind of scary looking, i will try it soon

trying it now; seems a little to tricky at the beginning. Also, on SGH-i9100 it's a bit lagging or slowed

I really like the idea of this keyboard but the learning curve is going to be a killer. The video wasn't the best in explaining how it works. The guy on the video could text like a pro through so I guess it really does work

Actually I don't think the learnin -curve is that bad, yes is a little different in the beginning but not hard to see the potential at all

just read about this, the idea is great!
Just a few questions:
Is there a way to integrate some kind of dictonary (not only an english) one, yet? With that typing would be even more accurate.
Is there a way to adjust something like dpi or size? on my phone (sony xperia active) the arrows on the buttons are hiding the letters so it is a bit difficult at the beginning to find the right letters and the symbols at the right are pretty difficult to hit

will have to check this out, way to think outside the box

Great keyboard... And when you learn where the keys are is too easy
