What does the dec 7 update (2.3.6) bring? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Starting this thread because I have seen a couple things in the 2.3.6 version and they aren't mentioned anywhere I can locate, here on xda or otgerwise. Below is a pic of what I was updated with, stock here... the numbers differ from what Is listed on sprint.com
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I never really had los problems so the only two things I have noticed are:
1. While scrolling (vertical) menus when you reach the end, instead of the screen "stretching" into black space, a graduated blue hue will rise from bottom or top of menu being scrolled.
2. A- Upon touching the lockscreen it sort of "hops" about 1/4" off the left side and a few mm from the bottom. As sort of a headstart?
2.b- on touching lockscreen it displays four small arrows. Obe each on sides, top and botton. N, s, e, w.
Any other new features you have noticed? Is there a list on the web that can be posted here please?
Thanks all.

The home screen page dots are no longer numbered.
From digging in SystemUI.apk, I think the fully charged audio notification is gone. The screen on and notification bar icon are still there.

Of course it includes the features from Gingerbread .5 and .6.

I know... I just couldn't resist... 2.3.6 is an update that fixes some stuff that the user probably doesn't see... It's bigger... better than we could build it before (Anyone here know where that comes from?)

My new favorite live wallpaper: Light Grid Pro

I've got it themed up for Cyanogen goodness:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Not only do the shapes randomly change in colors, but any time you swipe across the screen or click an icon it creates a ripple effect like in a lake. I suggest trying it out if you're looking for a nice live wallpaper that is good for showing off.
will try it
Edit: cool I will keep this
Thanks for the suggestion. I was looking for the perfect wallpaper and found it.

Hiya!
I have a question for the first and the third poster, how do you change the colour of the topbar? (the wifi-icon, the battery icon etc) because mine are just a plain and boring white

We're using Gingerbread ROMs (i.e. CyanogenMod 7 or GingerVilian).
I've been using LightGrid Pro for awhile, it's the perfect update to good old Popsquares.
Of course, I rarely see it except for the lockscreen, since I can't seem to pull myself away from Slidescreen Pro as my homescreen.
where could I download this?

What you're asking for is warez, and it's not going to happen. I'd suggest emailing the developer.

[DIALER THEME][DEODEXED ROMS]Black Dialer by Nitroz

Hi All,
Before we get onto the awesome stuff. I just wanted to remind you of my Google+ page which consists of updates on my projects and some awesome banter
Just thought I'd share with you my Black themed dialer I made whilst browsing the image files in the Contacts.apk. Surprisingly ICS is REALLY easy to theme (Even easier than Gingerbread) So see below screenshots and download links. Thanks

I'm running it on Revolution HD-Galaxy Nexus LTE 2.1.1 with out issue. So yes, it does work on LTE...
But one thing I just found was when in a call and you pull up the dial pad the numbers are the stock blue color again.
Looks great!
Minor problem, though- when putting a contact on a home screen, the icon appears in its depressed form (no, not that kind of depressed)! They are overcast in cyan.
Edit: reflashing.
This may be user error. I've done so much modding to this phone in the past couple days that I'm having trouble keeping some things straight. I think I may have manually replaced the contacts.apk to get the black dialer before flashing this...but still, shouldn't this overwrite that change?

Shapewriter for Galaxy S3

I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S3. I loaded on my favorite keyboard, Shapewriter, and was disappointed to see that it didn't fill the screen like it did on my other phones. Is there anyway to make it take up the whole bottom of the screen like all the other keyboards? Thanks for any help.

send a note to the developer... they might not be aware and just need to edit it for the larger screen...

It's no longer supported. I have a backup of the APK that I use to install it with. It's not even on the Play anymore as far as I know.

That's clearly not supported on 720p screen, never heard of the keyboard but if you find people that likes it a developer might be able to help

If I recall, Shapewriter was bought by Nuance and incorporated into the FlexT9 keyboard and now those features are incorporated into the latest Swype beta...
So maybe try that?
You can always lower your dpi
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I downloaded the Swype Beta. It's going to take some getting used to, but overall I think it's better than the default Samsung keyboard.
I prefer shape writer over all the rest I've tested. The automatic addition of a space after a period (.),saves hitting the space bar more often than deleting the space. The ability to retroactively capitalizewith one key does not require retype. The selection of typed words with one touch,allows the original selection list to be recalled.
I can't believe they did this all two years ago. Nuance now owns shapewriter.

Visual Reception

So I had full bars prior to rooting. No matter what ROM or where I am, I only have 1-2 bars. Sometimes 3 depending on where I am.
I checked the store model and it's full bars. Store's is running LG2. I just updated mine to the second which was LF9 from LEN thinking it would fix something. Took it to LG2 and same.
Anyone else experiencing this? Not really an issue, just a visual comfort.
Bars don't really mean anything. Run speedtest and see if they have changed. You can't always just go by how many bars you have.

Calls cut in and out constantly. It was never like that before. That's what I am going on. I call the bars Visual Comfort, since it makes you feel warm inside.
The other thing, I work at a store. The store model is solid and full. Mines 1 corner bar. Big difference. I only started to question it after my calls became unstable.
Huge difference.

It was in the E4GT theme and apps section.
It's just the transparent widget file. I can try to find it for you in a bit.

[REQ] Scrollable NavBar for Galaxy Nexus (Concept)

First of all, sorry for my bad english .I'm not a developer but just a galaxy nexus owner that want a little more from his phone. :good:
So, i'm here to show you an idea that i think could be useful for us. Since i got my galaxy nexus GSM, i always wanted to profit about the large screen our phones has, and the bars are a little invasive. The statusbar and the navbar are very useful and i don't like to replace them with LMT launcher or somethin similar.
Last night i got an "illumination" (LOL) and so that's it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A scrollable navbar that includes the statusbar with notifications. When you click on the clock it should show the expanded notifications.
I repeat that its only an idea. If it will be interesting , we could contact some developers and maybe a day we can have it ! :good:
I think it's a great idea! :good:
Great! I would like to know if someone can do this. I can help you
I love this idea~!!
amazing idea
If i get some free time I will look into it a bit more
thank you for your replies!
xDARKFiRE if you will work on this , advise here!
This is a beautiful idea to give more space.

check out JBSourcery rom, there have a new option call Hidden Navbar (there is a small little blue tab at the bottom just pull out Navbar when u need it), it work perfect together with LMT Pie on the right.
