Why does our 6.1 have a different Today screen?

Hi, just wondering why all the ROMs on here for WM 6.1 don't use the new WM 6.1 Today screen seen elsewhere?

This is just a guess, but the link you provided said that the device they were using was a "Samsung Blackjack II" which is a smartphone (non-touchscreen).

You are perfectly right.

Thats for Smartphone, not PocketPc.

Why not Pro? This looks pretty good!
Why wouldn't they make this available for Professional? This looks pretty good to me...just my opinion. Why would they make the smartphone version have functionality that the Pro. version can't have?

Smartphone's handle Today screens very differently to PPCs. With a PPC, you have a theme that controls the background image and colours, then you have individual Today plug-ins that you can move and control independently.
With a Smartphone, you install the theme and that determines the background image, colour, and EVERYTHING that is displayed on the front screen - it sets where your unread messages notification goes, where your missed calls display, etc. You cannot install anything else onto your front screen, you'd have to make and install a different theme. This makes an integrated, attractive front screen easier to make on a Smartphone, but makes personalising yours a lot harder.
I think what MS is trying to do with this aspect of WM6.1 is make the Smartphone front end more user-friendly and, crucially, useful so you don't have to go delving into the menus to do things (that we can already do on PPCs by downloading a plug-in). I've reading this as MS's attempt to bring the Smartphone's front screen closer to the usablility of the PPC's, rather than it moving ahead.
[disclaimer] I haven't looked at a Smartphone since I moved from my Typhoon to my Magician, so it might've all changed since my day! [/disclaimer]

You see the TyTn II at 5 minutes

Gym/Workout App

I remember seeing something a while ago which you can track your work outs and what not at the gym and track progress, is there such a thing?
Cheers in advance

MySportTraining from VidaOne is a good one, but is not the cheapest:
http://www.vidaone.com/mst_ppc.htm
there is an desktop app to sync with

SportyPal is supposed to be very good:

I use MySportTraining; and I've tried a few. It isn't 'cheap', but I think it is a reasonable price.

Yes with Sportypal you can do any type of outdoor workouts, with the chance to add manually indoor workout, especially for working out in the gym
http://www.sportypal.com/indoor
It has many types of exercises to choose from, or add my own like the Abrriper X program

i dont like sportipal!
have too much crashes.
the MySportTraining its good?!

I use MySport Training combined with Run.GPS (for all my outdoor trainings)

Tried a couple including mysporttraining and tbh I found that excel and making my own log was the best... too much self input on mysport for a paid app, too many missing simple exercises too... and too fiddly...

I check @ weekend mySportTraining and my result is: It is not 4 me
* Only english, kay is not the biggest prob but one
* all buttons 2 small 4 use @ workout and HD2 Display

Did you ever tries Jucy Workout Log? It's designed for phones and tables, so there should not be any issues with HD devices. It's very simple, though powerful. It has the most flexible exercises setup where you can assign ANY measure to your exercises. Besides, it's graphs feature is very good.

Hey XDA! I think you guys will be able to appreciate the Apple humor here more than anyone else It was inspired by Dilbert: http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2010-09-23/
Reality Distortion Field (RDF) is a technology that enables one to manipulate reality itself. It has been used for decades by highly influential people to excite, convince, and rally; to bring peace and to incite wars; and mostly to sell mediocre gadgets at premium prices.
For the first time, the secret to the RDF is revealed. The Reality Distortion Field app by Elemris is the first and only to bring this incredible power to your Android phone. Using space-age science, this app allows you to project a small Reality Distortion Field around you to help in your daily life.
Influence your peers… charm anyone... have people marvel at your smartphone even if it has a tiny 3.5 inch screen … now you can have it all.
The RDF is maintained by the battery's electric energy. However the battery drain is minimal because the battery is being fed back by Reality Distortion energy from inside the field. In effect battery life may last longer than usual.
New: SHAKE your device, and the app will convert your body's kinetic energy into RDF energy, for a temporary energy boost.
Results may vary; use for entertainment.
Works best if used at least 3 times a day.
Support
If you run into any problems using Reality Distortion Field, please tell us and we'll do our best to help. As you probably know, it's not possible to provide support through the Android Market - so contact me directly either at elemris.com/contact-us or here on XDA. Thanks for your feedback and support! and if you like our app, please rate and comment and let the world know

Yes indeed. Though I hear the RDF implementation in iOS 5 is not functioning correctly.

[APP][4.0+] Smiley Camera

Market Link:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.studio9ja.smileycamera
A picture is worth a thousand words. A picture with a Caption + Icon/Smiley is probably worth 10,000 .
This is why we made Smiley Camera, so as to make it super easy for people to better express themselves and tell a story with their photos.
The app comes with Material Design and contains over 500 icons and Smileys.

Font option. Perhaps.

Is it possible to save pictures without sending them?
Congratulation for your work, BTW! Fantastic App!!!

Cool concept! Really loved it but then i have a small issue that when a image is selected, the image is kinda zoomed or focused right to the center of the image! Can you incorporate a cropping of the selected image feature!
All the very best! Im sure your application will be loved by all
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Free mobile app

I like the concept.
+1 for saving the picture before sending/share it.

Hi @donniemceduns, I really love this app. But.....is this devolopment stopped ? I hope it's not. :fingers-crossed:
Anyway, I just noticed something, some of the emoji & stickers are blur, some are crystal clear. Could you please fix it so that all the emojis & icons are crystal clear just like HD.
For example: ( these are the clear ones )
And these are the blur ones.
Last but not least, can I have a suggestion ? I think you and your team should make a "resize & move & rotate" feature to this app when we are picking our photo. This is because I used to pick photo from my gallery, but every time my photo didn't insert in correctly, sometimes it's too big for it, and sometimes it's placed horizontally which means I can't rotate it. Hence, I can't use this app to edit my photo.
Hope that you look into my suggestion and comments. Really appreciate you work. Looking forward to your updates. Thank you.

Question Which note app?

Hi, do you guys use Samsung Notes as note taking apps? The app is quite good for simple notes, but if you want something a bit more complex it lacks in features.
For example, I'm missing drawing shapes (circles, rectangles). It would help for studying and drawing graphics.
I looked google play gor some apps, but couldn't find one that merge handwriting, text and shapes. The best one I could fins was Flexil, but it doesn't have shapes, it just correct a shape you draw (so you draw a lame ass circle and it makes into a perfect circle), but i still need several tries before getting what I want.
Anyone recommend me an app that merge those 3 features?

You can draw shapes with Autofix shape enabled in toolbar addons under Settings. And using spen

Indeed. It is not as good as I wanted, but I think it's enough. Being able to resize after drawing is good. I just don't understand why I can't use the eraser to erase after the Autofix kicks in...
Also, I don't understand why the drawing space doesn't go all the way from top to bottom of the screen. This reduces the effective are. And if you zoom in to fit the whole screen you have to drag the screen to the sides in order to reach all the page, since you can't increase only in Y axis.
Anyway, gonna use Samsung Notes for now. If someone finds a better app, please share with us.
