[Q] Want to design an app, where do I start? - General Questions and Answers

Here's what I want to do...
I want to design an app - or modify stock... I want the pull down menu @ the top to have less buttons (on my Note 2) that I dont use like Allshare cast and Driving mode... I want to add a quick toggle for WiFi Calling Enable/Disable and I want to add a hotspot quick swapper to swap between hotspots very fast. So, where do I begin?

Even I want to do that but I don't wanna pay.....

You should edit the systemui apk and maybe the framework res too.
Search and you will find how it's to be done.
Make sure you have a backup ( Nandroid) before you mess with them.

Note 8.0

Could someone explain to me how the hell can you hold the tablet to watch movies in landscape when you have those two capacitive buttons? That's the only thing that keeps me from getting this day one.

Sharing Theme Ideas for Atrix 2

Hi,
I just thought it would be helpful to have a tread about sharing ideas for themes. I apologize beforehand if such tread already exist.
This is my current theme.
Launcher: Nova Launcher 2.0.1beta4
Lockscreen: WidgetLocker Lockscreen 2.3.2r1
Widgets: Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) (Used in both lock and homescreen),
Googlesearchtabletmode (UCCW),
Statusbarblack (UCCW),
Typo clock (UCCW),
Rom: Official 4.1 leak
Keyboard: Kii keyboard
Icons: CarbonSquarebacks
Gallery: Quickpic
(in dev opt)
Window animation scale 5x
Transition animation scale 5x
Animator duration scale 5x
Disable HW overlays ticked
Force GPU rendering ticked
Those are pretty much the lil things i did to my Atrix 2 for it to look good and be buttery smooth.
And what about the battery? How long it last? And is it OC'ed?

It's purely cosmetic. I'm on the rooted official 4.1 leak. No OC cause i really do not see the differences unless i benchmark it. You'll get a decent batt life with that.

What does everyone think of the "SmartLauncher Theme Ubuntu" for a theme idea?
I have been trying it out over the last few days and have found it to be a really cool interface.

call log - single continuum for ics

Hi Everyone
This is Praveen from India, I'm using SmoothieICS v1, built by Brahmnoor, on my galaxy S+ works awesome. Many thanks to Brahmnoor for it!!
I've one question - call log is not continuous for a contact. For example call log for today is displayed separately from yesterday's call log. is there a way to fix this and have all the call log a particular contact at one go? is there a app I can use?
I'll really appreciate any response.
-Praveen
There are many apps to replace contacts.
Check out go contacts or contacts +.
There are many, search it on Playstore and find the one you like.
They come with their own logs and dialer, so your problem might not exist there.
Have you already tried checking the settings of the stock app? May be there is a setting to enable full call logging.

Hi!
Yesterday i installed CyanogenMod 10.1 for Samsung Galaxy S and latest Gapps. Wipe,data reset etc and everything from tutorial was made but my screen rotation is not working. Only sometimes 270 degrees. Any help? Thanks,and sorry for my bad english.
That might be a bug in the ROM. ( report it in its thread if not done yet). Or Try some apps from play store that do the job.

The problem is probbably in the rom but i like it a lot and i'm sad about it.
I've tried 4-5 different ROM-s and same thing happens. Is there any way to locate sensors or test it somehow?

Thought I'd update this page to share my work inspired by android custom roms
Before you start yelling at me, please read the first paragraph. This isn't a port, and it isn't based on Android source at all. Think of it as an android launcher but uses the PSP SDK's code. It will not and never allow you to run android apps.

			
				
Ok, this is pretty amazing. The default PSP UI is rather limited even with CFW. I played around a little in 2012 with writing PSP applications, but I can't even contemplate building a complete overhaul for the XMB. I have to replace my batteries for my PSPs this month, but once they come in I'll give this a try.

Awesome!
I didn't even know that the PSP is able to handle different launchers nor that something like this even exists!
Really great work, i'll give it a try later as im on the hop right now
@Joel16 Good work bro I will ask my friend to try this out after exams get over. keep it up .
Awesome work man !
Even if i don't use PSP anymore porting all these stuff and bring this Material style also for the Playstation is very cool
Ah, man! I just got rid of my PSP a couple months ago because it was collecting dust Would have loved to try this. Ah, well. Keep up the great work!
Does it run on all PSPs, and even running on pre-loaded CFW, namely PRO and ME ?
Awesome work mate. I was also thinking, this would be sweet on the p.s. vita as well, which has a touch screen. I know it's much harder, but if you wish, you could think about it. Cheers.
wow this is just amazing. dont have the psp anymore sadly. would have tested it if i still had it...... didn't even heard about this until i saw a post on facebook on the XDA page. Great work mate! i am out of thanks.... lol
Haha didn't see this coming, thanks for all your support guys. Really helps in keeping the project going
Edit: BTW this also runs on PPSSPP

Yes it does, in the video it's being tested on PRO. It should run on a PS Vita's eCFW as well. Just remember even though its marked as stable doesn't mean it offers everything. I've named it stable because all the features I've provided work as they should. (Except for OTA's cause my server's down) so yeah, if there is something you can't click on, or just won't open its simply because it hasn't been properly implemented yet What's on the working list is definitely working though.

Sorry but as of now its not possible haha. You can use it on a PSvita (using its PSP emulator) but touchscreen won't work. The PS vita doesn't have any 'native' homebrews as of yet, and without an SDK its almost impossible
