[request] gmail icon

I noticed ted's hero theme and drizzys hero rom use a different gmail icon. Unfortunately it still doesnt blend well in my opinion. But could someone combine the current MAIL icon with ted and drizzy's gmail icon?!?!!
Basically the mail icon mailbox with the gmail envelope hanging out of the mailbox a little bit?

the icon space may not allow for that and remain the same size as the other hero icons though. so maybe just the google G on the rightmost side of the mailbox as a secondary idea?

best i could do...
for those of u (if anybody) that didnt think my idea was stupid I created the image best as i could. I dont do photoshop/gimp any better than i could "paint". This is what i was talkin about. Anybody with the photoshop know how to create a better version of this image FEEL FREE!...please!

2nd try...and i give up now...
10 characters...

options....
yes i am gettin carried away...but this **** is fun

this one you did is the best out of them all. since you can create it yourself, why request in first place? lol. good work.

i agree that is a great looking one. i think when he originally asked he didn't know what he could do, then started playing around, and made it work.

I really have no idea what im doing lol. I JUST downloaded gimp not too long ago and im learning as i go. I figured out just enough of it to do those images. Im sure somebody with real skills could make a better 1. Like 1 with an actual opened door on it instead of just erasing that part of the mailbox lol. My imaginations way bigger than my skills r with that program but ill keep trying. Glad you like it tho!

i could give this a shot on my photoshop when i get home today. but wheres the original image?

the actual mailbox hasnt been modded except to create a open look for the envelope because i wanted it as close 2 the mail icon as possible but i can try it...that shouldnt b hard! lol (still learnin where things r and how 2 use em)

Why not make a widget, like handcent sms uses one ?
An icon with a number in it, so you can see haw many new mails you have.
I think hero has this also ?
Would be so cool !

All right, I give up. Two things I can't figure out-Image settings + Messaging window

Ok, I've tried not to make a thread about it and read around and try things on my own, but I cannot figure out two things with my phone. Maybe neither can be done..
1- The way my Kaiser used to label pictures was yyyymmddhhmm_###.jpg
So the file would be something like 200906302055_045.jpg
I can't figure out how to make my TP2 do this. The pictures save as IMAGE_014.jpg as an example and that is unhelpful when you don't keep all your pictures on your phone and you're flashing, etc. Does anyone know if that is even possible?
2-I really like the TF3D text conversation window..Except that it doesn't update when someone messages me. So I have to leave the window and come back, kinda defeating the purpose of it for me. Is this normal or is it fixable?
Thanks for any information

Here's the solution for your 1st query!

Incoming Call Screen

I think we can all agree that the INCOMING CALL SCREEN on the Excalibur is way too old school. It is hard to see further than half arms length, and with a small picture.
There is plenty of room to have a gigantic CONTACT NAME and picture behind it or below it, much like the.... never mind i'm not going to say it.
I am running the latest 3vo 6.5 ROM, if anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated by all.

that call screen on the 3VO was redesigned and updated by oOkBa, not as old school as you think, check with him and see if he'll make one to your liking.

I was told by ookba that he cannot do it from his end but that there should be a third party app out there. I have been searching all week. Anyone have any luck?

Is it permanent and auto... I need something like that, I rather not have frequent calls at all (TMI)

Idk if u can completely disable it but long pressing the contact u can remove em in 1 click i will check if they can be disabled and edit the post
Edit: i dont see any option to disable them entirely but deleteing is easy and it deletes the entire frequent call log for that contact and not just one call at a time so if u have (contact name) 15 calls to that contact it deletes all 15 calls and not just 1 call at a time

If you're going to be a douche and cheat on your woman and not have the balls to, you know - be a man and tell her what's up. Then at least put in some effort to cover your tracks instead of being lazy. Delete the frequently called list yourself, manually.
I'll take my infraction if that's what happens. This thread is stupid. Reported.

I think this is a valid topic, regardless of the OP's reasons for wanting to know. I like to show off my phone quite often to demonstrate some of the advantages of Android, and it would be nice not to have sensitive information like that so easily accessible to someone who's just playing around with my phone.

Do most people not know about the apps on the market that hide info like that? If you want to hide certain numbers when they call/text - get a black list app/privacy app or something like that. I like showing off what my phone can do also so I know what you mean. However, I don't allow complete strangers to handle my phone. I don't mind people seeing the name of someone I call often - I'm more concerned about the pictures they might see.

Guys, I use shady sms. It's got a built in call guard and a hidden contact list. Dev is cool too, he responds with help usually same day.
It blocks calls, sms, and hides them in the app. There's no app icon either. To open it, you go to phone, type your secret code, and hit send.

Damn, I was just joking.. Did I touch a spot, did your significant other cheat on you or etc... WOW!
I just want to app that monitors the Frequently Called list and prevents contacts from ever appearing on it without having to manually clear the list.
I know there other members looking for a similar solution to this problem....
Didn't mean to touch a nerve, hope you get your partner back, root their phone or something nice like that! Good luck!

Maybe edit the phone.apk or dialer.apk to get rid of the frequent list all together.
Or it may just be editing a value check for a call to save to the list. That way its always empty.

If you're going to be a jerk to your wife, then at least just get a separate phone. Or maybe you DO want to get caught. If you really cared you would not cheat, and if she's not what you want any more do the right thing and divorce her so she can do what she wants and maybe find someone who respects her without having to be concerned about someone who seems to not care about her(you).
That being said, I would check out Shady SMS, seems to help some ways. I figure the cost is worth it if you don't want to get caught.

I was really just joking .. But I found Tiger - No Frequently Called, looking for the APK so I can try it out on Epic (But I can't find anywhere)... If anybody find it, share please

Any new info on the subject

I think the app Super Private Conversation hides all communication from certain contacts and it is free on the market.
They changed the name to Private SMS & Call but it works wonders and is free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superdroid.spc&hl=en
Alternatively, just use google voice for that purpose. All outgoing calls and text will be hidden within the google voice app.

Got to admit this was some good reading... If that man is capable of having more than one woman don't be mad at him... Kudos to you for at least not wanting to flaunt it and taking the time to try and do your pimping right.......hahahaha

Google+ instant upload - Every frame of Zoe!

Has anyone else noticed that if you enable Google+s Instant Upload feature with the HTC One, it will upload every frame of a Zoe (as well as the movie file) to your designated album. This makes it so messy! I wonder if anyone will come up with a work around for this?
-Mike

AW: Google+ instant upload - Every frame of Zoe!
Dropbox does that as well .
It's necessary to save every frame as it should be a 1:1 backup of your taken pictures.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Yeah this is really annoying. Just synced 1000 photo's to my PC. I have now learned to save an event as a mp4 then delete the Zoe photos. Maybe a software update can save us?

I agree that this is a shift from what we are used to with our previous phones. However, each zoe contains a couple of great frames that I actually want to keep as single-frame photos. So how is the phone supposed to know which of the frames are worth keeping? If you just keep the Zoe, then the individual frames are somewhat lost.
I am used to sorting through hundreds of photos, adding the 'good' ones to albums, and deleting the rest from instant upload. Going from hundreds to thousands is definitely going to take an adjustment. I am not sure how HTC will approach this issue, or if they will even approach it. Since google makes it quite easy to select a whole album and hit 'delete', I don't think it will be that difficult to deal with from a user perspective. select the photos you want to keep, select the actual 'zoe' file if you want to keep it, add them to an album of your choice. Then select the rest of the event and delete it all.
I was wondering why my battery just wasn't lasting, but it must have been all the constant uploading all day long. I will set it to upload only when charging, that should help.

I'm gonna say easy: new menu item next to the current 'save frame' that says keep all frames. Save all these otherwise 'temp' images in a subdirectory with .nomedia and delete once the zoe is deleted to keep from selling, and place it outside the camera directory so theyre not auto-uploaded and further suck my borderline battery any further down.
I can't believe the average consumer is expecting and wanting 30 more "bonus" photos for every movie... I know I frakkin don't.
I have severely curtailed my use of zoe until this is fixed.

I just experienced the same. Phone eating through the battery as it quietly uploaded about 400 zoe frames.
And there lies the problem. I've got in the habit of editing my albums right down and deleting does/frames where needed, but I don't always have time to do this directly after taking the photos.
Google+ doesn't know to only start uploading once I've been through and edited.
So either I accept that I'll have to go through and re-edit my google+ albums, or I turn off auto-upload and lose the lovely backup functionality of the service.

Because people are looking for a solution, such as something HTC will roll out or dev's will sort.
For most (me included) turning off instant upload is not the answer, as the whole point of instant upload is to keep a real-time backup of your images.
It is just the bad design of saving ZOE images that is causing the problems.

QED as pointed out in post 2 of this thread.
If you want to save certain images on the go, do so by selecting the image you want to save and uploading that.
Leave sorting out the rest of the images until it's more convenient to you. Seems obvious.

I want all of my photos backed up instantly, except for the photos I don't like, because I haven't reviewed them yet.
So, you DONT want all your photos instantly backed up

Turn off auto-upload, and only upload once you've gone through your photos.
It's a solution, you want your phone to figure out what the best picture you took in a series is before it's saved. That's a ridiculous request if you stop and think about it. No one on the planet would hire a professional photographer again if this software existed.

Workflow ... he's never heard of it and wants someone to write an app for that

Not true. There could definitely be options. If you click on a zoe there is a bar in the timeline that shows where the picture taken when you pressed the shutter is. There could be an option to only make that 1 photo available for upload.
Or there could be an option to only make the zoe.mp4 available for upload.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not posting here DEMANDING a solution. I just noted it here as a possible issue with using zoes.

Wow, you must end up 'rolling your eyes' at a lot of stuff on XDA then. These are called smartphones for a reason.
Yet people still look at them, use them, and think they could be improved somehow. That's why we install custom roms and customisation apps.
Carrying around a diary, and a notebook and an address book used to be a 'workflow'
Then someone came up with something better.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with noting the inefficiencies in your workflow to try and improve/speed thing along.
You've made your point that you don't think this is an issue. Now please leave this thread alone.

I do. Have been doing so for the last six and a half years, when it was all fields round here.
90% of the posts on xda are from people who wilfully refuse to RTFM or STFW, and don't possess any form of critical analysis.
Too many people expect everything to be done for them by others, instantly.
They can't be bothered to read, search, read, read, read and then search some more, like the rest of xda residents.
Most can't even be bothered to check their spelling, their sentence construction, how to phrase a question or be polite enough even to come back to a thread to say thanks.
Then there are the people who demand that other people, get out of threads
