Phone tabs at bottom of screen

Mods, if this topic should be in Q&A, please move it there...
I just watched an engadget video of the sony ericsson play (ps phone) and one thing that popped out was the phone tabs were at the bottom of the screen. That is a very interesting look and I would like to know how it was done. Also, if this could be implemented in a theme or a standalone phone/contact.apk, it would be very cool.
I don't know what xml (if any) would need to be edited to get this look. If someone would be kind enough to figure it out and toss it over, many would enjoy. One for froyo and one for gingerbread would be great.
I'll update this post with an update.zip for all to enjoy and give props to the problem solver...
Thank you in advance!

i think u would do better by posting a link to the video so that people can see what you are talking about. cuz i personally have no clue what u are talking about. are u talking about the tabs within the dialer for like call history and contacts? i think those are the tabs. i have a sense rom so i wouldnt know about stock dialer

video chat help!!!

I've had cyanogen7 mod for a while now but I didn't notice I had a problem with my camera when I do a videochat through tango the other person sees me upside down, when I use oovoo the screen stays black n when I try yahoo messenger the screen keeps on going on n off so is obvious that something went wrong with the camera, does anybody has any idea, I'm running cm7 with nightly 30 but I'm running the theme Dark Horse v1.1 with the nightly 30 for dark horse n the gapps that goes with that theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992967 plsss help

In a nutshell...from what I've read in various CM forums, the devs of the various video chat apps haven't caught up to Gingerbread yet. Once you start to see it rollout as OTAs then the devs will catch up. One of the problems of being cutting edge.

OP, in the future, please refrain from making multiple threads here on XDA all regarding the exact same problem

tl;dr, other apps aren't up-to-date with Gingerbread, and YOU DID NOT SEARCH because this is a well known bug. So well known in fact, that there's a bug in the Issue Tracker for it.

Now go star that issue, and next time, search s'more please. Oh, and post in the right section too. THANKS!

[Q] Gallery Problem in CM 7

Dear all,
following this forum from ages...but today posting my first problem
I have s-offed wildfire with CM 7 working without ne problems...the only problem/bug i noticed is that in gallery v cant view the next picture by just sliding out finger on the picture in either direction...I have to click the left and right arrows which appear on the either side..
can I knw whether this is a problem with the ROM or a bug or ne possible solutions...i want the ability to view next or previous pics by just sliding my finger on the pic in left or right direction...
Thanks in advance..hopin to get reply soon..!!

It is not a bug.
The gallery of cm7 is not similar to stock rom. Same with camera and camcorder. U can't have the stock gallery on your own because it is sense app and moreover froyo to gingerbread . Someone has to port it. I don't know whether it is there or not.

Gps & camera

Hi all,
Facing a problem with my gps 'n' hope you can help:
When launching an apk like AugSatNav or IOnroad, the gps signal keeps cutting and remains on searching.
Only when heading back to normal navigation, the signal comes back....
I think the link is the combination camera+gps (since A/R), but have no solution.
HTC support simply indicates that there's no problem with my gps, great help....
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers

Hi, 've seen tt quite some people saw the post, but no reply....
Does it mean that I'm the only one having this issue???
For info, i'm now rooted, will another ROM solve my problem (this one as well as linking a bt keyboard)?
Txs ;-)

Won't hurt to try another rom with the correct radio might fix your problem

Thanks, any idea which should do the job? Revolution (i like sense), or cm7?
And is there à 1-click like the ace hack kit?
Saw something with ROM manager and titanium back up (for installing all apk again), but i'm no hero..... ;-)

I would go with a CM based rom as it is the only one I have seen that will work with a BT keyboard.
No there is no one click rom install but with enough reading it is very simple

Finally dared. ... and flashed cm7. Indeed via rommanager easy !!!
Bt. Keyboard ok (yesssssss !!!!), but still facing same problem with my gps /camera : as soon as i have a signal and launch either iOnRoad or AugSatNav which needs the camera, the signal gets liste.....
Any idéals? Would be strange that DHD doesn't accept A/R......
Thanks in advance,
Cheers

Hi Dutch, I have the same problem, I'm trying to video my cycle commute (sick of being near-missed by cars). None of the apps I have tried will allow GPS to work while recording video. Daily Roads states the following, which is the clearest description of the issue i have found [at dailyroads.com/voyager/issues]
"GPS issues on the HTC Desire HD - a GPS fix can not be acquired, or is quickly lost. There seems to be a camera/GPS conflict on the hardware/firmware level in this phone, as all video recording applications affect the GPS signal. Suggested fix: disable GPS in the app's General settings (feature available only starting with version 1.6)."
Not a great help, I know, but at least an indication that there may be nothing we can
do! As my first post I'm a bit wary of noobing the bosses (having watched their very funny video - everyone should have one!) I will poke about a bit more. let me know if you find anything!

Note: there is an older thread on this where dailyroads have posted a test apk. I don't think it works and there is no indication of further activity
Thread is
[Q] Are GPS and videorecording compatible ?

Hi, txs for the thread indeed. Txs to Robert found a walkaround being the usage of an external b/t gps.
This works (at least for me).
By the way, no realistic answer from HTC: don't use third party apps, just the preinstalled htc ones and you won't face problems .....

Anyone find a better fix for this issue?

Hi, my GPS also had issues than i used the app GpsFix
and than it worked a lot smoother for me. But I only tested it on the original 2.3.3 rom without root.

The issue is not that gps does not work but that it will not work while the camera is on.

[Q] custom ROM camera problem

sorry guys, since i couldn't post my problem on the development section, i posted my question here.
I am running CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies 4.1.2. I noticed the photos i take with the stock camera app cannot be seen. The photos seem to be fine when i use a third party app (Pudding camera).
Is this a known issue? i am just asking around to confirm if its a problem with the ROM and not an outcome of my stupidity. Otherwise its a brilliant ROM. thanx.

No, it's not a known problem, at least I don't have it.
They don't appear at all in the gallery app?
Go to application manager (rough translation)
Clear data from these apps:
Gallery
Media storage
Then reboot and you should be fine.

thank you
