Are there any screen rotation utility with animation effect like SS Omnia's?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk1ZF3bcPMo
Cool !!!!!! hope someone could do this app for HD´n ?
Yeah, saw this on my brother's Omnia last weekend, and wondered if it was do-able on the HD. Does look pretty cool!!
i want it too!
That looks really great, I'll be very happy, if anyone can port this to the Blackstone.
Yeah this would be excellent!!
that does look slick
like the iphone will be better

i don0t think so..
is there anyone who's porting this app^?
It gives me a headache.
That is pretty damned cool. Similar hardware on the Omnia? Would this app be directly portable?

It could be, if someone could send me the Samsung Omnia's whole windows folder I could try and find this app or you can try it yourself!!!
just search in windows folder for the app name and extract all files from the Omnia's folders to HD folders and run the app!!!!
BUT I DONT KNOW IF THAT WILL WORK!!!!
We need someone who understands more!!!! Not Me!!!!
Wow we must have it for ou blackstones. Senseless but awesome
very very cool!!
that is excellent, exactly what i need cos i get annoyed with the slight delay and this program seems to solve this by doing something in the meantime (if you get what I mean?)
The slight delay is related to sensitivity. In this case there would be a slight delay before the animation would start.
I use Flip It which I find has almost no delay coupled with increasing the sensitivity on HDTweak.
I wish I had dev skills
These little apps are what make a difference - they add polish! Very cool if someone would port this!
Prob needs to be tied in the sensor app for touch hd an maybe some driver dependency tweaks - seems logical and not the biggest feat. But then I am no DEV.
Anyone care to answer?
Cheers
I love any eye candy software.. Bring it on.
looking good! please develop, I might donate for this!
looks great butt still noone who sead to make it for our beloved blackstone's
Is there a way to get a tasks tab or maybe something on the main screen for tasks from outlook? It would be nice to have tasks on the main screen like appointments. Just wondering if this is possible or if anyone has done it.

Hello there,
Like title suggests, I want to creat my own icons to fit certain themes/wallpapers. I can make icons in Photoshop, so that's no problem, thing is, I have no idea how to get them on my phone, and can't really find much information about it.
If someone could please kindly point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
There's no short answer really. I guess the easiest way would be to use something like nova launcher that allows you to long press and change the icons 1 at a time. If you want to get into theming whole swaths of your icons at once, I've seen how-to's here on theming roms etc...
Hmm, thanks, better than nothing by far
Defenately enough to keep me going for a while to figure out if I really want to do this and if I'm any good at it.
Thanks

Well using Nova launcher is the best way to go at it. You can change the original icons from the standard apps by replacing them in their apks, but that will take some more time^^
I was going to re-post the apk's I pulled together for modifying the samsung touchwiz launcher to have an extra row of icon space on the home screens and an extra column as well. However, there's a better solution:
THIS IS A HOWTO. This isn't a "download the attached file and donate to me" thread. This is a thread intended to help people to learn how to modify their own devices. If all you want is something pre-made to install on your phone, there are several good customized firmwares (ROMs) available in this subforum. The attached files are so people can download a working example to compare to their own work. Please keep this in mind when replying to the thread.
First, a link to another thread that explains how to modify the launcher. These instructions are for a galaxy S III, but they work just fine for the Note II:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27433971
That's not my thread and 99.9% of any credit for this should be given to the person who posted the that thread and the people from whom that person learned from.
Now, I found I didn't like these directions as-is. First, I thought the icon labels got too truncated when using this with 5 columns. Second, I really didn't like how this mod moved the little "page" indicator dots below the docked icons. (The photo's on this thread don't show that, but if you follow the directions, they are moved.)
So, I spent a few hours playing with sizes and such to get things to look a bit better (from my perspective.) That's how I came up with the apk's I posted a week or so ago.
Below, I'll dump my notes on the measurements that I kept so I could reproduce the changes I did (for the next firmware update.) They don't make much sense on their own, but if you combine them with the above linked thread, they make perfect sense. Keep in mind that these are my notes and not even an attempt as a tutorial.
Now, these notes are YOUR notes as well. Please use them, change them to suite your own desires, or ignore them.
There's only one thing better than downloading a custom firmware for your phone: Customizing that firmware yourself.
Code:
SecLauncher2... modifying the grid sizes
To enable scrolling on any of these:
res/values/bools.xml: change fixedWallpaperOffset to "false" (to turn on scrolling)
The rest of the files to edit are all in "res/values-sw359dp-xhdpi"
For 4x5 (extra vertical row):
integers.xml:
<integer name="home_cellCountX">4</integer>
<integer name="home_cellCountY">5</integer>
dimens.xml
<dimen name="app_icon_size">44.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_cellWidth_port">80.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_cellHeight_port">90.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_cellGapX_port">10.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_cellGapY_port">2.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_pageMarginPlusPaddingTop">12.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_pageIndicatorTop">484.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_pageIndicatorTopShrunken">484.0dip</dimen>
For 5x4 (extra horiz column):
use the 4x5 and 5x5 to figure it out.
for 5x5 (both extra row and extra column):
integers.xml
<integer name="home_cellCountX">5</integer>
<integer name="home_cellCountY">5</integer>
dimens.xml
<dimen name="app_icon_size">44.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_cellWidth_port">68.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_cellHeight_port">90.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_cellGapX_port">4.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_cellGapY_port">2.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_pageMarginPlusPaddingTop">12.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_pageIndicatorTop">484.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_pageIndicatorTopShrunken">484.0dip</dimen>
styles.xml (this is needed for 5 columns or the icon labels get truncated - the change is only the textSize)
<style name="HomeIcon" parent="@style/BaseHomeIcon">
<item name="android:textSize">12.0dip</item>
As a bonus, I'll also upload some apk files that already have these changes in place. My primary intention for uploading them is to serve as an example, but they are fully functional on a stock i317 firmware.
If you want to use them as-is, do a backup first. Then figure out which you want based on the name. (4x5 is 4 columns and 5 rows IN ADDITION to the dock row. if "scroll" is in the name, the wallpaper will scroll, else it won't.) Then rename the file to "SecLauncher2.apk", and use something like root explorer (that allows you to write to the /system/app partition) and overwrite the existing file by the same name. After you do that, your home launcher will get a little nutty for a second or three, and then it'll work fine. (If it doesn't, restore the backup.)
(If you download one of these files with IE, the file extension might get changed from "apk" to "zip" If so, just change it back to .apk.)
Take care
Gary
I used the 4x5 scroll apk. It worked great. . I was worried about it resetting all my folders and widgets, but they just bumped up. The 4x4 twcalendar is a little cut off on top and bottom, but not enough to effect me. My music and google search widgets dissapeared but I reset them and all is good. Since the Music widget is re-sizable is here a way to make all widgets re sizable with the tw launcher?
4X5 with Scoll - Awesome!
Very Cool - and huge thanks for this. I took the 4X5 Scroll and renamed the way you suggested - moved to the AP folder with Root Explorer and then rebooted - after booting up - wall paper scolls beautfiully - very smooth - and more room for aps and widgets and stuff - I was a little concerned that multiview would stopp working but no - it works fine.
All is good - thanks for the AP - considering how new this phone is - it is so cool to be able to get these types of improvements!
Thanks again.

I'm actually insulted that you'd post in this thread the question "will you do this for me?" (The answer is: NO.)
At the very least, you could have asked something like "Can you offer advice on how I do this for myself?"

Wow, sorry, you can ignore my post or have mods delete it. The only reason I posted it here was because it was related to using your SecLancher2.5x5.apk. A bunch of widgets that I use no longer work when I change to the 5x5 layout. I have no problem searching for a solution myself, just thought someone may have an obvious answer. Thanks, have a nice day.

I installed the 4x5 with scrolling after I flashed this rom, I317_N7105ZHALJ4 MultiWindow Control, and the Multi Window function stopped working. Has anyones else ran into this and if so how did you fix it.

You have a n7105 firmware installed on your phone, and you downloaded one of the apk's I modified from an i317 firmware and installed it on your device (instead of following the simple instructions provided for doing the mod yourself) and now something is broken. Is that correct?
And now you want someone else to tell you how to fix it?
One more question... did you do a backup first? If so, please restore it.

First off, Just because I only have 13 posts on this forum doesnt give you the right to come at me like a all knowing jerk off...
Second, The rom I have on my phone is a ported rom for the i317, so yeah. I didnt go off and flash a N7105 Stock rom on my phone.
I didnt "Break" anything on my phone. All I said was that after I installed the 4x5 launcher the multi window wouldnt work. So my phone is still working other than that. So the only thing I asked was if anyone else experienced it, and if so, did they figure out how to fix it. The 4x5 mod itself is working great otherwise.
Finally, Were you really being condescending by saying, "instead of following the simple instructions provided for doing the mod yourself?" Really? Because dont those APK's do the same thing as doing it yourself?

Actually, its a n7105 firmware modified to work on a tmobile T889 and with build.prop mods to work on the i317. (It tells you all that on the OP for the firmware you downloaded.) You did, in fact, flash a n7105 firmware. That, by itself, isn't the problem. Not at all...

If it doesn't work, then its broken. The following is from dictionary.reference.com when looking up the definition of "broken" : "not functioning properly; out of working order." So, if multi-window doesn't work, then its... BROKEN. Hence, something is broken on your phone.
(This is where I get sarcastic..) These are simple concepts. If simple definitions aren't working for you, then the OP instructions might be beyond your grasp.
(Okay - no more sarcasm)
However, broken or not is besides the point. I didn't upload those apk's for people to blindly download and shove on their phone without a clue what they are doing. Here's a quote from myself on page 1:

I'll give you some ideas: Don't take something prebuilt from a i317 stock firmware and expect it to work on a firmware ported from a different platform. If you try it anyway (which is fine) and it doesn't work, don't post on the thread about it.
Finally, if someone takes the time to make sure you have the directions to do the mod YOURSELF, then take the 20 minutes it takes to LEARN SOMETHING and DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF before wasting bandwidth on the forum.
Take care and have a WONDERFUL evening

I have a very serious question... no sarcasm whatsoever...
I wrote this post (as well as the CSC one, and I'm preparing another for kernel compiling) to try and help people do their own mods so they aren't dependent on others, so they can learn and so on.
Is this attempt of mine misguided? Does everyone really prefer to just take whatever someone else gives them without learning anything?
(If so, I won't waste my time writing HOWTO things... I'm a developer, not a teacher, and trying to explain things to other people is very stressful for me.)

Well sometimes when I am completely busy with things going on in my life I will just grab and APK and run with it, and teach myself later if I have the time. I do want to apologize for coming across like a moron earlier, I am not a developer and wish I knew half the things that some of you know. I am a hothead sometimes and am still new to the android community and coming from the world of iPhones, I have dealt with a ton of condescending morons. Again I apologize.
But one thing I want to know, and not trying to be nasty. But, if someone runs into a problem after following your tutorial or how to, where are they supposed to ask to see if anyone else has run into a similar issue? Would you rather the forums filled with pointless threads asking the same questions, or should they ask in the thread that contains the how to or tutorial in the first place? Because in my original posted question I was looking to see if anyone else was using the same ported rom I was and if they ran into the issue.

If someone posted "I'm trying to apply this same change to the launcher from XYZ firmware and I'm having problems", I'd likely ask them to revert their launcher from backup, and redo the modification, but this time log each step taken and post the steps in this thread.
My purpose in doing that would be twofold. First to enable you, had you recording the steps while doing them, to find any mistake you might have made the first time. You might have skipped a step the first time accidentally, and by recording them as you do them, you'd fill in that missing step. (When I follow instructions and have errors, I find that when I do this exercise, the problem will go away.)
Secondly, to enable me to see the steps you performed to verify them AND to repeat those same steps (as you would have recorded them - not from the original instructions) on my own side to see if I get different results. Sometimes a subtle change will result in dramatic differences.
If you still had the problem after doing the mod while recording the steps, how I would approach the issue would be dependent on if I had the same issue when following your steps, if you had the same problem (or a different problem), if I had a problem (but a different one from what you had) and so on. At that point, I'd have to play it by ear. I might also go to the person who posted the firmware your basing on and ask them to offer some assistance.
On the other hand, this is one of the more trivial changes that mostly works across MANY versions of the 4.x touchwiz launcher, so I wouldn't expect any problems. I would certainly expect compatibility issues, however, if mixing different firmware versions.
Here's one that might amuse you: If I take the SecLauncher2.apk from the n7100 firmware (DBT released - not a leak) and framework-res.apk from the same firmware, I can perform this change and install it on a i317 and it works. However, being the i317 doesn't have multi-view, that doesn't "break."
Your experience seems to indicate that "multi-view" has a dependency in SecLauncher2.apk... I wonder what would happen if a person with a multi-view capable firmware were to install nova launcher and actually DELETE SecLauncher2.apk. Would that also break multi-view? (I don't have my n7100 anymore, so can't test that.)

It doesn't hurt to ask and see if it is possible, because it has been done before. So no need for such a douchebag kind of response.

OK, my response might've come across a bit 'off' but the principal is still the same. If the mod was wanted by the community then someone would've made it. Xposed might already have something similar available so might be worth looking at that option but I'd personally say it's better off to just get used to what Google are doing to make Android better (yes, better) and accept the change...

the dude just wants an extra search and menu button because that's his preference. Like I said before, Android is all about personalization and customization. If you don't like a change that has been applied, then there are possible methods it can be altered. Telling someone to "accept the change" is contrary to the purpose of XDA and Android. Heck if a guy wanted a gingerbread style status bar or something are you going to tell him "no, just accept the change, it was for the better?"
You shouldn't, because it's all about preference. While it might be better for the majority of the user base, he might not like it and there is nothing wrong with asking if someone has devised a method to apply that change, ESPECIALLY because he posted in the Q/A section.
