Sunlight

How do you deal with the sunlight? My normal backlight setting is not bright enough and the max is not quite enough.
Also, does anyone know a way to map a key to toggle between two different brightness settings? Navigating those menus every time I enter or exit a building is too much.

Hi,
I had the same problem, sorted it by using the today plug-in LAUNCHER, download at http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/launcher.shtml I then navigated the windows folder to the icon for back light, make a shortcut and paste into the launcher folder, then you can tap the icon on the today screen to open the back light controls, you must have your PC set to show hidden folders to access the windows folder on your PPC.
Hope tat helps,
Regards Steve C

doesnt work
The link opens loads of pop ups but no download
please advise

Sorry about that try this http://www.freewareppc.com/ then look for launcher

The file
The file I hope if the attachment works (first try lol)

Thanks for that mate.
what a neat little app. so smaaaaallllll
just need to figure out what I need on it I guess you could also create larger icons so that they appear bigger.
must be possible plus setting and pasting in for tomtom etc etc etc.
Thanks again

Home Screen XML question

I found a theme that I liked on a Motorola Q forum. However the theme needed some help in my opinion. I was able to change images and adjust the x and y axis to get the text to display on different portions of the screen. The only issue that I have is with the home plugin. If I let my phone set with the home plugin (date, time Carrier) it always reverts back to SMS. I have moved the plugins around on the XML file, and I can get other plugins to appear at idle but not the desired home screen. Does anyone have any idea? I have attached the XML file (as a txt document) that I have been manipulating.

Re-arrange TF3D tabs page shows blank screen?

Hi all,
Somehow after a hard reset and installing all my fav apps and tweaks I cannot re-arrange the TF3D tabs anymore.
Normally I would go to settings > re-arrange tabs (don't know the exact phrase in English as my TP2 is Dutch) and I could move the tabs order up/down and deselect tabs. Now it just shows a blank screen.
AFAIK the link to this screen just launches a separate executable, so I would like to know where it is located so I can launch it separately through Explorer.
Thanks for any suggestions!

*kick*

OK, so I managed to add a separate launcher to the start menu for this page. But still I get the same page as the picture above.... so this must be some kind of background color issue perhaps?
I would really hate to hard reset my TP2 again as I have just about everything the way I like it.....
If anoyone knows which files are responsible for this page could someone post these filenames and perhaps upload the default stock ROM files?
Thanks a lot.

multiple backgrounds?

Hi all,
Is it possible to set multiple backgrounds at the Touch HD with original ROM?
For my home screen I want to use one wallpaper, for all the other screens (email, weather etc) I want to use another (transparant) wallpaper..
Is this possible, and can anybody tell me how to do this?

Argh..
I've read -somewhere- that this has to be possible... But can't find it anymore!

Does really nobody knows if it's possible to set another wallpaper at your home tab than on all the other tabs??

yes, you can use one background for your home tab and a different one for the other tabs. you can install a background for all tabs and then select a wallpaper for just the home screen.

How can I do that??

find the background you want to use for all of tabs, install it and then use the Manila settings to set the wallpaper for your home tab. have you taken time to explore and understand your device? i ask, because this is a simple, easy and straight foward task.

Thnx. I understand my device quite well.. But really can't get this done.
I use the 'background for all tabs CAB' which I've found somewhere overhere. When I use this, the wallpaper I choose is set on all tabs.
When I install a wallpaper, I go to the 'settings' tab, choose 'background' and choose an image overhere.
Where can I find the 'manila settings' for my home tab, to choose another wallpaper for this tab??

Tried it, but it gives white blocks on my TF3D slidebar..

Too bad, really can't get this done..
When I post the 2 images overhere, is there someone who can make a cab to do this?

It should work with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730
But still can't get it done..
Who can help me, please?

[Ideas] Bada Modifications.

I would like to hear your ideas for Bada modifications, what things do you want to see done to Bada?
Everything and anything goes! (within reason)

My wishlist.
-
Delete some unneeded "Icons"... because I can remove Facebook, Twitter ...
But few JAVA Midlets are somewhere protected against remove.
I was able to delete jar, jad, Icon but Icon still there in menu
Where is the Database entry to clear?
Preinstalled Widget too...
-
120 Apps Limit...
Hmm, there are other ways to replace ... BUT why 120 Apps are Maximum?
-
Developer signed Apps are only 1 possible to activate...
bada SDK Samples for instance...
Via Broker.exe Install seems more then 1 work at the same time... Why?
And how to expand to install more then 1 App at same time.
-
Filemanager bada App with Access to internal Filesystem.
I'm sure that Samsung will not allow this on their Store... but is it possible.
Someone told their are no APIs to access internal folder...
maybe invetigation of apps_compressed.bin will help to find "Commands"...
-
Folder delete in internal FS
I can create folder with PSAS, but can't delete. They are writeprotected.
More ideas hopefully later...
Best Regards

well for instance i wanna change the keyboard to either htc or iphone.... this one is too crammy like congested.... wanna have a spacious potrait keyboard......... and with universal setting like if i wanna activate predective text it should apply everywhere... not just in messages........ and it should always stay on..........
secondly i wud like to see more UI modifications beyond just themes...... like changing the status bar or the way notifications occur and stuff........... custom roms maybe... variety is a good thing...

I'd like to see:
Ability to create widgets or widget like apps using system parameters..
For eg: GPRS data, browser bookmarks, setting wallpapers etc..
Customization of the top Notification Panel buttons.
Filemanager Drag and Drop to move files and folders
A memory cleanup application.
Big Aspect sized thumbnails for videos.. now we cannot distinguish videos in thumb view.
More Right click options in files/folders - i.e., Click and Hold to show Menu options to Move/Copy/Delete/Rename/Open with/etc..

I'd like to see shortcuts (with names) like on Android and continous autofocus in the video cam !

My ideas or things I want in Bada
Here are my ideas :
1. Ability to replace whole UI like Android.
2. Folders in Menu.
3. Text-reflow in Browser.
5. Unlimited Menu pages and Home screens.
6. Unlimited SMS storage (why you want to restrict us to 1300 on a SMARTPHONE )
7. Sending Group SMS to any number of people (can be very useful for certain type of
businesses. Did u think about it Sammy ?)
8. Auto-hide of Notification bar and Lower bar after certain amount of time or on Tap.
9. Different Wallpapers on every home screen.
10. Better animations.
11. Smaller icons. 4x5 grid with an option to change to suit consumers' taste.
12. Notification Drop down to have buttons for APN, Brightnesss.
13. In-built Backup-Restore app for all phone data. User should be able to select to what he
wants to backup or restore.
14. Highly efficient GPS. (I would not like to buy a BMW whose tires I have to fix. I have
paid for it, btw.)
15. Better Facebook(with chat), Twitter and IM app atleast Gtalk. Current one plainly sucks
16. Various bugs in Messaging to be fixed.
17. Select all and Mark as read option in Email app.
18. Universal availability of Social Hub Premium.
19. A little better sound output through speakers (it is based on personal taste only )
20. Text-reflow and Pinch-to-zoom in Email app.
21. Soft buttons for Menu and Back.
22. All applications to have Exit button.
more to come.................
Out of all these I have already solved 7th but then everybody can't make changes to the file system.
Yes, I do love Bada and its potential. Its simplicity is killing feature
Thanks !

I think user experience would benefit by implementing GPU acceleration in UI and browser as in IOS and Windows phone 7.

Hi all. @TigerCourage on AF I play with the camera settings file "CamSetting.ini" in folder "Registry" can be seen with the program "sTune" (I started some new options "IntelligentAuto" I do not know what does). There is also an option to focus on video recording "RecordFocusMode" from "0" to "2" default "0". Try setting but do backup before (right click and copy).
Try my sample file

Doesn't work mate, I tried copying your file and then doing a soft rest and it didn't work. I also tried playing with options like RecordFocusMode and IntelligentAuto but still the same...
It would be very AWESOME if we get continous autofocus on Wave!

Hey how you copy a file because the file copied to the phone is only by drag and drop. If you are able to copy my files when you start the camera will see the icon "sA" without restarting the phone. Otherwise the effect of the settings I have attached the file with changed sound of shooting

Yes I copied by drag and drop and I've seen your "sA" icon at the beginning but the continous autofocus is nowhere to be seen...

Is there anyway to save camera shoot images in uncompressed format so that the quality of captured images will be maximum?

I would like to have a "fast-access" GPS button - next to the mute button ("green" menu). I'm really sure that this function will be very popular!

Here are my ideas :"
about ur 7 th point (group sms to any no. of people).. this can be done using stune... jst modify the ini of messages settings there the limit is set to 10.. i dont remember the exact folder
and too lazy to look ... jst play around and see if u find it. otherwise i'll find it for u

I would like to have more keyboard languages (with T9 or whatever it's called on the Wave).
I have seen a friend of mine with a Wave from Vodafone, and he has 30+ langage/keyboard optinons. On my wave (normal German FW) I have about 10. No Cyrillic characters, no Chinese, no Arabian...
How am I supposed to use the full functionality of such a wonderful phone if i can't write an email to a friend /business associate in Russia for example.
I could grump about it a few more pages, but the essence should already be clear
P.S. AFAIK the languages are stored in the CSC flash file, so it's not so easy to "just add" some in, but I hope someone from samsung might also see this and think about it.

Android.=D

If i where a moderator or administrator i would ban that guy for inciting flame wars...
