Just inspirated by the first trailer of T4
www.terminatorsalvation.com
(btw: who's afraid the next movie? ;-) )
I've made a new notification of message.
It covers and manipulates of whole screen of any Windows Mobile device
(PPC or Smartphone), no matter what is on the screen,
at the moment when the new message received.
I like the idea of this trailer, when title music and video frames, try to break our normally wathed screen.
It's fun to have something similar in personal computer. To have some spice in mobile device.
Of course, if we aren't afraid, this will happen in the future. For real.
So, this notification replaces the default notification of message,
in a style of the above T4 trailer.
Several screen deformations and manipulations are built-in.
Below screenshots are samples only.
In reality, the smooth animation of visual effect is playing,
together with the title sounds (music).

It plays a sound, only when your Profile allows you, and the alerts volume is more than zero.
Functions:
You can switch directly from this notification to reply to the Sender of message: UP/DOWN KEY or TAP-MOVE vertically.
You can switch directly from this notification to the Inbox: LEFT/RIGHT KEY or TAP-MOVE horizontally.
You can play the notification again: ACTION.
To close this notification: ANY OTHERS buttons, or just tap on the screen anywhere.
Because of Warnerbros. copyright, I realized this version as freeware.
And I have no deal with them.
Another way, I think this is a good example,
how the advertising could be positioned (placed) into mobile devices, without users action needs.
This program (notification) user installs on your device, and that's all.
There is no settings, no user-enable application, no dialog, nothing to use.
Then user will not see any icon or running program.
It displays on the screen, and become enabled, only when new message is incoming.
Imagine, the top content of this notification could be downloaded from some network server,
and automatically. What I have not included in this version.
Finally, it displays the last received message (scrolled up from the bottom of screen).
In the background, it displays (some time) a Sender photo, if it's found in your Contacts.
The above screenshot is just a sample, you will see there some photo from your Contact.
And the text of message will scroll up from the bottom of screen, till a whole message will display.
Eeee... freeware files:
http://www.jgui.net/t4.notification/T4.NOTIFICATION.SETUP.exe
http://www.jgui.net/t4.notification/T4.NOTIFICATION.SETUP.cab
(please do not copy theses files, only link to these url if you want)
Due to reason of notification, it's recommended to install in main memory.
This is alpha version, I just tested in a few devices a week only.
I don't know if everything is fixed there now. Please try.
Uninstaller is included.
You cannot just break this notification. You have to unistall.

Wasn't quite sure of the correct forum to put this one, so I hope this is all right.
I'm taking a stab at creating my own theme and using ThemeGenCE to do it. It's pretty slick and I've been able to figure out most of it, but there are a couple of things that have me stumped...
How do you change the text color in Start Menu items?
How do you change the softkey button and text color?
How do you change the task panel text color?
As for the start menu thing, it's particularly frustrating because I can make the change in the program, but it never seems to "take" on my phone, except for the word "Start" in the titlebar. The menu items themselves stay the same color. The file is getting saved correctly, judging my the timestamp, but the start menu color settings don't seem to have taken.
Peculiarly, though, the highlighted start menu items have taken (but now refuse to change to anything else!) I'm sure it's just a step that I'm missing somewhere.
Thanks!

Here's an example of what I'm talking about with the inconsistency. ThemeGenCE shows the start menu font in a gold color, but the actual result on the windows mobile device has a black font...which doesn't work well with my theme
Any help is appreciated.

Update...
I've tried a few things now and I have some curious results to report.
One, I've discovered that the colors in the start menu appear to remain as whatever they were the last time the start menu theme was successfully changed. That is, if I install the Windows Default green theme, then install my theme, a highlighted menu item is still black text on a green background, even though ThemeGen clearly shows it should be gold text on a grey background.
I also have tried a demo version of Thememaker M. I imported the theme generated by ThemeGen and found that the menu text and the softkeys were colored just as I had expected them to be, but re-generating the theme and copying it to my device resulted in the same them...the colors didn't take for these elements, nor for the volume bubble or the task list. This indicates that the issue is with the device rather than the theme creators.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can you provide insight on how to get past it? This is getting pretty frustrating as it's my first serious attempt to create a theme for my device.
Thanks!

This is a strange problem that I've noticed. I assume this happens to everybody else too?
When I go to the Internet Tab... without any scrolling taking place... the top of one of the favourite icons is missing, like it's been chopped off (see Image 1).
Upon scrolling this list slowly, I can see 2 areas on the screen where parts of the foreground simply disappear (see Images 2,3,4,5). Either the top of the whole favourite icon + favourite icon background disappears, or just the top of the inner favourite icon disappears, or the dotted line disappears. Notice the background displays fine!
After checking other scrollable tabs... like the Settings Tab, the Program Tab, plus others... they all have the same problem. The top of the black round square disappears on the Program List (see Image 6), and the dotted lines disappear on the Settings Page (see Image 7).
Something that is about 1-2 pixels high, and full width, is making anything that passes over it, or under it (if it's invisible)... disappear!
I have marked all the below images with arrows (which are placed in exactly the same place in every image), so you can see where the disappearing occurs! You may have to view the full sized images, as the smaller ones that appear in the overlay don't show some of the dotted lines anyway!
It's really starting to annoy me... primarily because it's immediately visible & noticeable on the Internet Tab.
Does anybody know why this happens, or how to correct it?

Anyone know the solution????
I guess from the screenshots you're using an edited manila background, the two manila files that split a wallpaper in 2 to make a background for all the tabs? The top pixel line of the bottom file and bottom line of the top file do not show up on the phone - maybe they have something to do with it? I don't have this issue, using bg4all on Dutty R8.
Who can help,please........................
My problem is that the forth line of the Manila Contact list, the manila setting tabs are missing............
Alright... So I'm 100% new to themeing... Never touched XML files before (didn't touch them here either lol) and I was really just looking to change some things that I didn't like about RLS5 and take some things that I liked from Warm Z RLS1 and kinda combine them. First I wanna thank Myn of course, I love both ROMS, and also wanna thank dmoses1969's as i used portions of his great theme "Black & Bold" for Warm Z. I used Ninjamorph for everything, and some of these custom icons I made were a pain! Especially the battery icon (combination of over 130 icons i think)! Let me know what you guys think. And your help/suggestions are appreciated. Also I would love to know where to go from here to make this flashable or whatever (still clueless on this one lol).
Notification Icons I have completed so far include: Music player, email, text message, text message error, voicemail, missed call, call on speaker phone, ringer silent, ringer vibrate, cellular signal, all 3g, all 4g, alarm clock, wifi (disconnected through max reception), all battery icons, bluetooth disconnected, bluetooth connected, gmail, file/app download arrow (animated), file/app upload arrow (animated), app update notification, sync (animated), USB connected, in-call muted, call connected, and wifi tether. Also have the icons in the power controls in the notification drop down (as seen below).
NOTE: I still cannot find where the icon is located for A. the wifi tether app icon that is @ top notification area (for RLS5), B. the USB icon also located @ top notification area, C. the icon that pops up when you have apps that have updates available (also in top notification area) D. icon in notification area showing you that a download is complete and finally E. i would love to know where the app drawer icons are located so I can start working on all of those. Here is what I have so far! MINTBERRRRRY CRUNCCCHHHHH! LOL.

I like everything except the wallpaper. I like how it says has the day/date spelled out vertically.....that's a nice touch. I'd like to have a regular clock with numbers at the top by the battery icon, though.
Also might want to post this in theme section
Samsung Galaxy S20
Messages App
Microsoft Swiftkey keyboard
I just got this Galaxy S20. On my previous phone (Galaxy S9), when I hit the little "microphone" button on my SwiftKey keyboard to do voice to text when using the Messages App for texting, I would simply start talking and the words I was creating by voice would populate the text field in Messages. I could easily see the words as I spoke. After I was done taking, I'd just hit the send button and I was good to go.
With this S20, when I hit the little microphone button, the window pictured below (left image) pops up. It is super annoying for a few reasons. One, that stupid grey box that says "Your audio Will be sent....." blocks the first several words that I am speaking, so I can't see that the text to words is translating correctly. Second, if I stop talking for around a second, the voice to text assumes I'm done speaking and closes, preventing me from adding more words if I hesitate to complete a thought. Third and worst of all, after I'm done talking the words I just spoke don't transfer to the text field in Messages. If I tap the empty text field in messages, SOMETIMES the words I just spoke suddenly appear in the text field- maybe 50% of the time. Supper annoying as half the time I have to repeat the whole voice-to-text process or revert to typing.
On my S9, when I hit the microphone button, I got a pop-up as shown in the second picture (bottom right), and my words simply transferred directly to the text field in Messages, where I could clearly see them and simply hit "send" when done speaking.
When I use Facebook Messenger and do voice-to-text, I still get the pop up box with the annoying grey "Your audio will be sent......" blocking my words, but when I'm done speaking, at least my words transfer into the empty text box automatically and edit/send as required.
Anyway, tried getting this answered on another Android forum to no avail. I hear the posters on here are much smarter : )

}
So that's basically it.
How can i achieve that?
P.S.
So i am about to get my new phone "Samsung Galaxy A22 (4G)" in about 5 days, so i want to prepare for it.
Im buying glass protection, mask (something like this) and also, since its an AMOLED (OLED) screen, and It's known that OLED screens can get burn-ins,
(my other OLED phones already have burn-ins in some form or another) so i want to take care of it as much as i can, as i always did, but
what i noticed is that burn-ins on my previous devices are from navigation and notification bars mostly...actually ONLY from those two!
So i was thinking on removing those two to auto hide them.
There is a partial solution since i use NOVA launcher prime, it can hide notification bar but only
from home screen.
Whenever i'm in any other application it's shown again, unless that aplication it self hides it and go full screen, like youtube in full screen for example.
I want it to always be hidden unless i swipe it to be visible. Same with navigation bar. I want clean screen and only on demand bars.
Plus, i want it in generan even if its not OLED but more so with OLED!
Now here's the thing, i cant find a solution! I thought its a simple thing or that there is an option in settings,
but there is none. I also tried some play store apps, but they dissable keyboard and back button. Some even say i need to enable permission
by entering command from PC and so on... i dont wanna get some malware or whatever on my phone.
I came here for some elegant, simple solution without so many steps, and even if some permissions are needed i feel more comfortable you guys telling me i can safely do that than some sketchy app or tutorial online.
Thanks in advance guys!
