Yeah! It's possible! Firstly you need to mod the smart watch app either by using exposed installer and searching smartwatch in the modules section or by using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735718
Secondly you need the WatchWidgets for SmartWatch 2 app which you can find on the Play Store...
Then you need to find the background widget in the watch face editor and drag it on to the centre. Then drag on your other widgets whilst being careful not to pick up the background. Then go to the watch widgets app settings and set the wallpaper...
I hope I helped

I think that there's something wrong in this widget. Color pictures are normal but in low power they are wrong. Nobody noticed this?

I think It´s because of the grayscale that low power mode can show

Yeah I think this app doesnt handle the images very good on low power mode, if you try different resolutions of the picture or use the original size mode you may get better or worse results. This is because the conversion to low power mode resolution is not done properly by the app...
Does anybody know any other app which can handle this?

I'm waiting for the NeFa Studio Watchface widgets. The picture widget is still in development.
I have his first watchface app before widget mode and it is nice in low power mode

i was changing temperature and sharpness but got force close and cant remmember what exactly was changed :/ here link of my video, sorry for crap quality, was taking video with nokia 6720, maybe it doesnt show clearly but no more banding for me http://www.mediafire.com/?ijksasdo9i6ba0c
Im also getting the force close LOL but my colors are not screwed up but no difference now between standard and dynamic, looks like its stuck to dynamic ~_~
Doesn't look much different to Screen adjuster.
There doesn't appear to be a gamma curve calibration which is what is really needed.
so any suggestion to reset settings? now im getting only force closes :/
I Can't even try.

i think this program can be very usefull fpr galaxy note. I made some settings within color banding became not so big. Please test my solution and say is it better a bit. Firstly go to settings-display-screen mode and choose dynamic.Download attached zip file,extract and then overwrite files to system/etc. Go to settings again and choose standart and then reboot your phone. Please test this and leave feedback.

crashes when I try to launch it on my Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) (Android 2.3.6)
Tried the APP and no FC.
I can adjust color temp. Playing with other settings does nothing on my phone.
the IM2 movie plays pretty nicely on my note color banding wise. I only have some black clipping in some of the deepest dark areas at the end of the sequence.
Cannot test it
somehow not compatible with Speedmod kernel ...force closes....
Any good values to try? I know it is subjective but would be nice to know.
I think that voodoo screen tuning app doesnt work anymore after installing this app. can anyone confirm?

I went with values halfway between Standard and Dynamic. So only upped sharpness and saturation. Dynamic is just too much but this is a happy medium. My settings don't address black banding. Go with Movie mode settings for that remedy. But even then this app does not adjust gamma so it will only go so far

VolumeSwipe pre-release

I made an app that lets you adjust volume in a number of apps (including Netflix, Hulu+, Gallery Video, Amazon Video, Amazon mp3) by swiping along the side of the screen. You can also turn on boost mode to adjust volume up to 140%.
Here's the apk. It's free, but does contain an ad for a paid app of mine. Since it's Open Source, you can build your own copy without this ad.
I know there is already an app that lets you adjust volume by swiping, but I thought it would be nicer to have this active only in a few apps, so it doesn't get in the way in other apps.
I eventually hope to add a feature where you can select additional apps to the list where VolumeSwipe is active, but that's for the future. But if there is some popular video/audio playing app that I've left out, let me know.
This seems cool. What's the other app you're talking about?
thanks for the work you put in.

The other app is Volume Control, I'm not sure why the OP states that the other one (volume control) gets in the way since it has an auto-hide feature.

VolumeControl hides visually, but of course it's still there even when hidden, so it will get in the way if you want to tap on something in that area of the screen in an app. Ditto for my VolumeSwipe, except that the problem is minimized by the fact that VolumeSwipe is only active in a few apps.
Also, I think the narrowness of the VolumeControl bar, even on its widest setting, might make it harder to hit (though I haven't tried VolumeControl specifically on our Kindle, since I haven't rooted our Kindle due to DMCA concerns). VolumeSwipe provides a much wider bar. I think that's probably nicer if, say, you are watching a movie at the gym.
Sounds nice. You say "a number of apps (including...)". Could we have a complete list of the apps you include? BTW, you mention that your slider is narrower than Vol Control. Vol control's slide width is adjustable in the settings

Awesome. Reminds me of Spinal Tap: These go to eleven...
Awesome app, thanks. Could you add an option to shut off the notification? Not a huge deal, but now I keep checking my notification bar thinking i got an email or text.
Also, could you add the YouTube app to the list of apps this works in if it isn't already? Thanks!
Damn you Swype!
thanks.......just what I was looking for........
Bumped ...the app has been updated ...

I don't know what you mean by auto hide. Right now, when you let go of the swipe area, it disappears. Or at least it's supposed to.
Not disappearing on mine for some reason but thats what I meant by auto hide. If you made a invisible option that would be a good solution /feature to solve my issue and anyone else who may come across it. It's a great app to have on the KF though especially for use with youtube (every vid is recorded @ diff vol levels) ... I was having to exit youtube everytime to adjust the vol (annoying) but now I can just swipe! Thanks

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, 1.01 was buggy.
I think I fixed some bugs in 1.02.
I recommend uninstalling 1.01, then rebooting, then installing 1.02.
Unfortunately, due to a bug in Android's package manager (which I reported to Google), it is necessary to turn off VolumeBoost before installing a new a version. I have not been able to find an easy way around this.
NOTE: USE BOOST ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK. IT COULD DAMAGE SPEAKERS (especially if you turn off the non-uniform boost option in the settings).
It's officially in the Appstore.

HTC Chacha - how to set as wallpaper without cropping

I did not face to this problem wit any phone i used before!
U cant set full screen wallpaper on ur Chacha, even on all Android phones. When u set an image to be a wallpaper, Android request u to crop it. Only 2 button show : Save and Discard. If u chose Discard, the process skips.
Even u chose crop full of ur image, u only can see a part of ur image in the main screen. Another parts u can see when u slide to left or right screen.
I tried to fix this prob wit WALLPAPER WIZZARDRII (i chose Scale mode), it was sucessful. However, when u restart ur phone, the wallpaper become smaller though it is 480x320 size (the size of Chacha screen)
Can anyone suggest me an application or a solution for this problem, Thanks!

Many thanks. It works perfectly. It runs as a Live Wallpaper, that's the reason why it can skip "Wallpaper rule" of Android.
Btw, can i know the path of default wallpaper in Android, i want to delete some of them. Thanks
Wait a min, i've just checked this soft. It runs as a service (I see in Running). It means ur battery will drain a bit wit this software.

Which ROM? Sense or AOSP? And it doesn't take hardly any battery use it everyday with hardly any effect to battery. If its a super awesome live wallpaper which has flying dogs and 3D crap then that might take some battery.

im wondering, how many people will like use "home" to bring the main app instead "home screen" mmmm

A simple music player would be great. support for flac and the usual mp3 etc. you dont need all the fancy EQ options because you would be playing it through your car stereo which has EQ anyway.
If you have a look at the Samsung drive app for example, the media buttons (play pause skip shuffle etc) are so small and not handy for driving at all. Here in Western Australia it is illegal to touch your mobile phone whilst driving, so quick large easy to read buttons are crucial. If you had, now playing/album art, large easy buttons and a large slider for skipping through a track i would be very happy and im sure others would be too. Your music player could even look similar to your main screen. now playing in the middle with the time slider down the bottom, play/pause button, forward and back buttons, and a button to take you to your song/album/playlist select section in the corners like on the main screen. lol sorry its your app im sure you have your own ideas!
Ps the built in auto turn bluetooth on is such a simple feature yet one ive always wanted and the big names havent thought of so well done. if you could spread the icons out a little under the speedo and make them shortcuts to those settings that would be cool.
PPS on the home button question maybe have the option in your settings to do either and let the user decide. the more customizable your app is the more people will like it.

My screen shot looks the same as the one previously uploaded but i attached it anyway.
If you need anyone to test any new features on an i9505 send me a pm.
Auto starting modes would be a good feature. load straight into music part of your app if you like. would be very handy for people that use NFC. NFC app loads your app which connects Bluetooth and has the music ready to go. Thats efficiency right there!
Very nice looking app... Love the weather and speed in the middle...
But having the settings button take 25% of the shortcuts on the main screen is maybe too much. I would like to set that shortcut my self and just press the menu button when I was to access settings.
Other than that... Really nice app...

App drawer colour

Sorry if this has been addressed before, I am new to this device and have had a quick search and can't find anything.

Thanks. I was aware of that but, I just require black app drawer background to go with my black wallpaper, not system wide.
This has been possible on most of my recent devices and also on my wife's X2 Neo
Well I don't think it's possible to change the app drawer's background independently from the overall dark mode. But just to make sure I'd suggest you check back to your wife's Neo to see where the option is on that one and see if that works on the X2 Pro the same way. The OS should be pretty much the same anyway I guess. If there is no such option on the Pro then I guess there is no way to do this. IIRC I have seen other people ask about the same thing but to no avail...

There doesn't appear to be on. Think it's 'themed' with the wallpaper.
