anyway to change the background on the stock email application ?
black background i find it hard to see at times , would like it non inverted or white.
i tried turning off power saving mode but no luck it having an effect on the email background.
Probably have to decompile the apk, change it, them recompile. All that if you can't find a setting for it (idk if there is a setting, just saying).
ok thanks , hoping somone else finds it anoying to and has a fix !

I've been trying to replace the Gallery app with Just Pictures.
However I use LauncherPro and when using it to change the default icons in the dock, LauncherPro defaults to the Gallery app.
When the Gallery app is not installed, it claims there are no pictures on the phone at all.
Anyone know a solution?
I was wondering about this also... but about Picture Folder, so I've contacted the developer if he could somehow add an option to set default wallpaper or that is shown in this menu, but didn't get an answer.
It's related to the framework of SGS i guess, but i'm pretty sure someone knows something about this and i've already used the search button and couldn't get an answer.
So if maybe somebody knows anything about this, could you please share the info, or at least point us to the right direction
EDIT:
Picture Folder has been updated and is now called QuickPic and it has an option to set wallpaper, but it's still not shown in LP for icon selection...
Hi guys
I have a quick question. I don't like the incoming htc call screen, because everytime when I get a call and I try to get the phone out of my pockets, I keep accepting or denying the call.
I already switched from the htc lock screen to the stock android one and now I want to have the original incoming call screen aswell.
To get the original lockscreen is easy.. I just had to delete the htclockscreen.apk in system/app
Howeveer I didn't find out how to get the stock incoming call screen. I tried to delete phone.akp and htcdialer.apk but then my phone and dialer stopped working.
Do you guys have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

No wonder that your dialer would stop working when you delete htcdialer and phone apks. You need to have them to make calls.
You can use apps to have different lockscreen. I don't know if it is possible to have both htclockscreen and android lockscreen together.

Yea I know the apps, but they don't behave as fluid and easy as the original call screen.
I dont want to use htclockscreen and android lockscreen together.. I already deleted htclockscreen.apk and now I just have the original android lockscreen.
Is there any way to do the same thing with the HTC call screen?
Greetings
use "dialer one" from the market

But I dont want the dialer =).. All I want is to remove the incoming call screen from HTC (you have to pull down a lever in order to pick up the phone or push the lever up to deny the call)...
oh ok...the whole thing is incorporated into sense i think. So if you are not a big fan of sense you can try nosense script and and alternate launcher. But then you have to change the htcdialer.apk with something else

Yes that's absolutely the point. I used Android Revolution HD 3.3 with the no-sense script. However they decided to keep exacetly the HTC call screen because they think it is great.
I dont think so Can I for example switch the HTCDialer.apk with the one from the CyanogenMod Rom? Because I know that that rom has the stock call screen.
Sorry to bring this old thread up again, but I've got the exact same problem. The Sense call screen sucks. I occidentally reject calls whenever I pull the phone out of my pocket. Which APK contains the call screen? Is it contained within the dailer app?

You cannot simply remove the dialer apk. everything is integrated in Sense I am afraid. Unless you know your way around android files, I don't recommend replacing or deleting apk.
Anyways, the apk you are looking for is htcdialer.apk and htclockscreen.apk in the folder ./system/app
Good luck
Try No Lock from the market place its a simple app that disables the lockscreen or enables it maybe it may help you guys who dont like answering with the lockscreen
Hi guys,
I use my Note 2 on the darkest brightness setting possible, no auto mode.
All apps are still bright enough except the email client: When I open my email inbox (not gmail), the screen goes even darker, making emails a bit hard to read in daylight. When exiting the email client, the screen goes brighter again.
How can I change this?
Thanks a lot,
Tek
EDIT: Never mind, "energy saving" was the culprit...
I have seen this happen on with the Email client and the Android Browser (not Chrome). Funny, when you leave the program you can see it brighten before the screen update. I saw it on the original stock rom, I have since gone to the DLJ2 rom and have not seen the issue yet.

Hi,
This is my very first post on here but i think I have found an answer to your problem regarding the dim display when browsing etc..
I discovered that on my Note 2 it doesnt dim if I disable the power saving feature..
Hope this helps you.
to resolve the issue with display brightness in stock e-mail app: go to settings / power-saving - and disable "background color" option (change background color to save power in internet) - this will affect both the native browser AND the e-mail app (don't ask me how is e-mail also "internet"... )

It is possible that the mail app uses the same engine to render mail as the web browser (HTML), this was the same for WM6 with is mail client.

stock email still way too dim
Please fix or give the option to use a white background.
I can't read the dark grey font on a black background. It's ridiculous especially in bright sunlight. It is totally unreadable and useless!
Form follows function. This is interactive design 101 and you've called the clad miserably. Make it usable please!
It's a simple fix.
If this isn't addressed I will have to use K-9 or another email program that is more user friendly.

There is an Xposed mod with which you can have White background in stock email app. I used it for some time, didn't like it however, the separation of unread and read mails were weird. Try it, maybe you'll like it.
PS: I see there is a CSC code too to change it!

I had to delete and recreate the 1X1 Contact widget and now it has a white box around the contact. Anyone ever seen this and more importantly know how to fix it? I've tried rebooting, recreating etc.... But it's still there and looks ugly and bothers me. Anyone??
Bump. Anyone? Ideas?
I don't believe there is a way unless you change your icons. (Think icon pack from the play store.) The circles you see are Lollipops way of displaying contacts... in an annoying circle. As of yet I have not been able to find a setting to change the way the phone displays the contacts. (Like as a square with the full icon in view.)
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

No, that actually helps. I recall just recently getting a 100-something MB update and from around that same time, the bubble turned into a square. I guess it changed between 5.0.1 and 5.1. I liked it being just the circle, but now it shows the circle INSIDE a square and it's ugly as crap.
If you click on the icon you can modify it selecting an image which you can crop. Then it shows now white around the image.
Can anyone help me, not sure if this is possible but thought id ask.

I will try that thank you.
Anyone else? Would be much appreciated.
The keyboard notification should be killable by looking pressing the notification and disabling notifications for the keyboard. Works for the Google keyboard. Don't know about Samsung/others.
This links to a system wide add blocker. In theory it should catch everything. I pay for All access/YouTube Red, so i can't tell you if it blocks those ads but seems to work elsewhere.

With the phone, you can just push dialer button instead of searching and it supports old school T9 (?) text entry to quickly get to a contract as well. Didn't see a setting to go straight into it though. You might be able to do it with a Nova activity. I'm sure a third party dialer app or maybe even a widget would be able to do it too.
For the task killer, I just use Android's built in app switcher if I need to close anything. Swipe away individual apps or close all with one button.
Not sure I understand your "edge color of choice"question, but you can assign contacts to the five provided colors if you're talking about "people edge".
Hope this helps.
