Hello all, I like my Galaxy Neo watch - however there are some aspects I miss from my Pebble.
The largest one: on the Pebble I was able to chose a tiny font, which allowed me to read several lines of email messages at a glance. -> my question: is there a way to have (much) smaller fonts on the Gear 2?
Thank you for any responses

In WP7 Mango, is it possible to change the text size and icon size of notifications on the lock screen? Email, voicemail, texts, etc. show up as very small icons and small numbers below the date and time, too small for an old man like me.
I have a LG Quantum but I have seen other WP7 phones with small notifications so I am asking in general if anyone knows how to change it.
Even a response saying it can't be done [yet] would at least let me stop spending so much time searching for an answer for now...thx
Im pretty sure it cant be done

Hi old man,
I do not thonk it is impossible.
You need to search for "notification", "text" etc.. in the registry.

That was also my first thought. I can't find anything in the registry related to the font or text for notifications. Lots of keys about notification sounds, but that's it. I will continue searching because surely someone has done it. I took a sideroad and checked google images for mango lockscreens and - sadly - they all looked the same. I had hoped that someone had posted how they had modified their lockscreen, but no.
It is weird to me how MS uses these huge fonts that roll across the screen (e.g. people) but then makes notification text and icons in like a 2 pt font.
Hi,
I do not like the Kindle's line spacing. It is ridiculously wide.
On my Galaxy Note (same Kindle app) the line spacing is much denser and you can change it there.
Can anyone explain why on the Galaxy Tab the line spacing cannot be changed. Or is it possible? Am I just too stupid to do it?
Thanks!

I haven't been able to find a line spacing setting in the kindle app either. In Google Books its located in the font (aA) settings but with kindle this only lets you set font size and nothing else.
Right, that's my experience as well, but on my Galaxy Note I can choose 3 different line spacings. And it is the same App as on the Plus.
This is really annoying. Why is that the case, because of the different android versions?
@kzoodroid
Would you agree that the lince spacing is very wide or is it me being silly?
Yep, Amazon added the line spacing option for 'phones' recently, it appears the application is treating it as a tablet and not allowing for margins and line spacing. Pretty frustrating, I can get nearly as many words on the page on my GSII as I can w/ my Tab7+.
@jonsoini
Yes, same with my Galaxy Note, I get more words on the smaller screen than on the Plus. I hope they will change that as the spacing is really ridiculously wide.
Hi all,
a few people have asked me why I like Freenote+ and why I think it's better than S Memo, or other note taking apps.
I made a video to try and show the features that are the most useful for me.
I haven't shown all of the features of Freenote+, there are a lot of other useful features like the To Do list, shortcuts for commonly entered text (like your email address) and the paint function.
I've found similar features in other note taking apps, but Freenote seems to get in the way less for me and allow me to get notes down the quickest.
I hope you find it useful if you are looking for an alternative to S Memo.

That looks superb, exactly what I was looking for.
Silly question, but is Freenote+ the same as Freenote? (Thats the only one showing up on the Google Play store for me)
I think they've just added the + to the paid version.
This is the free version
This is the paid version
I don't think there is any difference in functionality, except for the nag screen on the free version. Once I had decided how much I liked it and how much I used it, it was worth paying the few bucks to get rid of the nag screen and to support the developer.
hi richlum,
thanks for the video.
to be honest, i didnt watched it till the end since i'm im quite aware of the functionalities.
but one thing i havent found so far, is how i increase the font size. i'm on ics stunner with 240. and i think the font is too small for me.
Do you have any solution?
Preferences> Editor> Handwritten
You can set the size of the handwriting there.
I have mine set at 50.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
it doesn't support pressure sensitivity. and it's slow as hell. no use for me.
In Paint mode it is pressure sensitive. Press hard to get a think line, lightly to get a thing line.
But if your note taking involves a lot of drawing and artistic sketching (as opposed to just drawing some shapes and diagrams) there are a lot better drawing/sketching apps like Sketch Book Mobile and Infinite Painter.
But I don't do much drawing for my note taking.
And I'm not worried about the handwriting mode not being pressure sensitive.
Different people are going have different work flows. For me, Freenote is the quickest way I've found to get notes down without the interface getting in my way.
That's why we're lucky to have so much choice to be able to find what suits us best.
When i add it to my home screen as a widget, the words look blurry, what size did u set ur widget as and font scale? Thx!
My handwritten font size is 50.
I just inserted the largest widget and then resized it in ADW (I have mys screen setup to be a 10x10 grid).
Typed text looks clear than handwritten text on the widget for me, but it's still easily readable.

Hi ... I noticed a difference that adds to the beauty of this application :
If you use the big widget of it on the home screen , In freenote+ , you can toggle between pages right from the home screen .. while in the free version you can't ...
But in both versions , you can perform all other functions shown on the home screen "Except for editing" .
Hi there,
I'm looking for a default Live Wallpaper which existed on older android phones (such as the Samsung Galaxy S1, I believe) to use on my HTC One (M7).
Its title/description was: "Galaxy: A galaxy made of slowly swirling stars"
The Wallpaper consisted of a little white dots (symbolizing stars, obviously) revolving around a 'black hole' on a black background. When you switched homescreens, the camera perspective of the galaxy would shift slightly with each transition (the main attractive feature of this particular galaxy wallpaper for me).
I've found no videos of it activated, closest was one where it was simply listed in the options. I can't share the link since I'm a new user, but the title is "Samsung Galaxy S live wallpapers on Nexus One".
After searching various forums, the closest I came was one Wallpaper which is very close to the original, but it has no transition animations and is a bit too far zoomed out. It apparently came from a custom ROM. Again, can't share the link, but it was on androidforums and was downloadable as "galaxy4.apk"
Does anyone have any idea as to where I can find this old default wallpaper online?
Otherwise, would I be able to request someone to extract from their device, if it has it of course, and compile it so that I and anyone else with the same request can use it on their devices?
Thank you!
The Gear S3 has the ability to customize the UI font via FlipFont, but unfortunately, the built-in fonts are garbage, and the ones that you can buy in the store are just as bad, with probably only Helvetica and Frutiger being any good. I was wondering if any developers here knew of a way to create your own custom FlipFonts? I know it was possible with Samsung's Android phones, but since the Gear runs Tizen, I'm sure the process would be different. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
