Hello guys, I've never seen a black default background for 6.1, can someone crank this out, I'm currently using the default green one which is cool but I loose a lot of contrast on the top icons, I'm hoping that with a default black background the contrast is more apparent and thus making the top icon bar usable again. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

not around my comp right now but why not take the green one, convert to grey scale, and adjust levels?

You took the words out of my mouth, convert to black and white then alter the contrast.
Do you know what the default green background is called? Then i can get on to it.

Yeah, I wish I knew where that file is located, can this be done on Windows Paint, I'm kind of a huge rookie but I guess I can try if I can locate the file but hold on, I recall having a blue Sliding Panel background, let me go find that
Then i can get on to it. here is the file in blue
If someone can Photoshop this to a cool looking metallic grey or some similar color that would render the MRU icons with some contrast enough to differentiate among them it would be great

Let me know what you think i could alter it more?
If you do want it altered please be specific as to what you want.
And thanks showaco will have a look in morning it's way ast my bed time
Looks good to me...
If you ever need an actual editor (not ms paint) here's a few ideas for you to play around (all freeware or gnu) Gimp is the most powerful http://www.gimp.org/, paint.net http://getpaint.net or something that is similar in interface to pshop is artweaver http://www.artweaver.de/index.php?en_version.

Sent you PM, finding it hard to get the gloss, i'm trained in photography and tend to use the printing process to get gloss, have been playing about with softness of the image, am going to pass this on to someone more knowledgeable than me in the area of editing lol, i'm using Corel Pro X2, if anyone can beat me to this do it, i'm sure we must have photo editing peeps on here? I think it is done via layers from what i can find?
Hope peeps dont mind just attached a couple of my images.
Thanks, just PM you, these image are pretty hardcore, lots of detail, the DOF on these images is hugh F64 lol, remember that, thanks I really appreciate your efforts.

Nice one taken with a Fuji s5700 not as good as the old Nikon f501 f401 slr but the time came that digi is so much cheaper.
I see you take photos to as you mention depth of field and aperture.
The tinted pink is in the picture take not after process, sepia on a very nice day.
Will keep you posted.
yes, I do, I took 4 BW classes in college and grew to love it, its only a hobby though, Leica M Rangefinder, Canon F1, and a point and shoot digital

Nice one looks sweet.
I don't know about anyone else in the UK but I could really do with an app that allows me to search for train times.
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk just about works in Opera but it's slow to render and fiddly to have to fill in the boxes as it doesn't scale very well onto the WVGA screen. What I reckon would be great would be an app that can do the searching for you, with nice big boxes making it easier to type your start and end points.
I've searched around and not found anything out there that seems to do the job. I came across a .jar programme here (http://www.getjar.com/products/903/LiveUKTrainTimes) but It's not very user friendly and only does live departures/arrivals rather than a search of the National Rail Enquiries database.
Anyone know of anything out there that would do something like this? Or does anyone want to take a stab at developing it? I've seen the thread for the Australian train times but haven't tried it out as yet.

If you find anything, I'd also be interested.
What I've done is downloaded the timetable in pdf format and use adobe viewer to view this on the phone. Obviously there is more trainlines in the UK than there are in Ireland so this maybe wouldn't work for you. (Only 4 lines in Northern Ireland)
I would definitely use that! I love the national rail site because it lets you set favourite journeys. An app like that would be indispensable to me.
Have you tried the show directions option in google maps?
This uses the application Transit on the "Public Transport" tab and seems to work well for me in Switzerland. But, I don't know about UK - give it a go.
Have you seen this amazing application?

Looks good, I am also interested, especially since I use Chiltern, Virgin and TFL a lot. Being able to get train times in a minute on my phone would be great.

Annoyingly I don't think it does work in the UK (at least it doesn't for me). I can only use walking and driving. Mass Transit is a no-go.

Am I right in thinking this app lets you know how to get from a to b on underground systems? I'll have a look but I don't think it does the kind of thing I'm hoping for. I'd like to have an app that pulls data from the National Rail Enquiries website. Even better would be a push of any issues with 'Favourite' lines esepcially at rush-hour.
I'll have a look at that app; even a solid knowledge of the London Underground sometimes fails when meeting a friend at a pub in a random part of Town I seldom visit!

That is the dream my friend! I use a mixture of Southern, South Eastern and TFL. No so fussed about tube times; is there every such a thing as a timetable down there in reality? Certainly doesn't seem to be the case on the Northern Line coming out of London Bridge in the morning!
Use National Rail's WAP site which looks nice and big in WVGA -
http://wap.nationalrail.co.uk/
or you can text the station you're going from and too and it will tell you the next 3 train times - all the info is here:
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/passenger_services/info_on_the_move/
Or try:
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/mobile
It is a bit more user friendly

Hi all,
having previously owned an iP***e and having applications such as rightmove and findaproperty i would just like to know if anyone has come across any android apps that do this particular job. Im looking for a house at the moment and these apps really helped me out before getting a quick insight in to house details before rerquesting a viewing. I currently us layar to get the details but it is a very long winded way of doing it.
Any advice would be great
Very +1 on this. Also had no luck on finding a good property app.
Sent from my HTC Desire
there is a immoscout24 app but afaik it is only useable in germany.
I also know that the AR browser layar and the located based service app Aloqua has such services but I think only for germany, too.
you could use layar with the Find a Property Overlay... works kind of fine for me
Speaking as an estate agent, why don't you register with an agent, throughout all these different apps/websites, the agent can tell you about new ones straight away rather than u waiting til it appears on the net. Our bargains tend to sell before they hit the net.

Layar is perfect for this.
Hey all, Ive been thinking about what i miss about my pre, and besides the obvious wireless charging (one can dream, right) touchstone, the one other thing i miss the most is the glowing of the trackball device at the bottom of the phone for a notification.
Now i know there are many people who have WIMAX Notifier and will say to use that, but i really dont like it as much as a more behind the scenes and clean look, and W.N. keeps crashing and is really buggy.
My app idea would incorporate the 4 buttons at the bottom using different patterns for different notifications.
Ex:
Text: Glow all 4 slow
Email: Run from right to left back to right and repeat. (8 secs for one rotation)
Missed call: Glow only home
etc.
I searched and was not able to find anyone in the developing stages of an app for this. I would be more than happy to assist with the coding, but i have no programs or anything downloaded so far, and dont really have any idea what im doing, though i do know C, Java, & C++ a bit and can learn coding quickly.
Any idea on if this could be made to work, im pretty sure there has to be a way the light sensor sends a signal to the mocrocontroller to light the keys, but can it be done independently, outside of that code section? Any words of where to start with development of this app?
Thanks for the advice, please keep it relavent and to the point, i would REALLY like to make this a reality. Also please link me to any current development on this if you can find any.\
PS. I have an evo 4g, but i assume this would be a global android app.
PPS. Dont let my 2 post count dissuade you from the ferver i have to make this app a reality. I dont post a ton, but i am very serious about creating/developing this app with some help.

It actually has not been done yet. All that has been done is Flashlight Alerts and WiMax Notifier.

Right, which are not clean at all. I want a more subtle item that is similar to the pre functionality.
Thanks for the clarification, ive been looking forever and couldnt find what i was looking for.
I think that is a great idea and would look cool as hell. Try making a quick flash demo to illustrate your idea. I'm with you and can definately visualize it but, maybe others can't. Don't give up, it's a great idea.

I think it's a FANTASTIC idea having the 4 bottom capacitive buttons blinking/flashing/glowing for notifications. I would definitely pay for this.
The number one thing I miss about my Nexus One (which I sold back in May) is the trackball notifications where it would glow different colors. Getting the 4 bottom buttons to glow/flash would suffice for me. $10 bounty pledged by me!
This would be such an awesome app...
Alright guys it sounds like there is an interest in making this happen. I will start to look into what it will take for the process to begin.
Stage 1: Getting a coding program installed and getting the HTC Sense open source code to start looking into the light sensor callout for hints of making the bottom LED's come on.
I am committed to this one guys! Sounds like there is a definate want for it thus far.
Good luck man...with all the devs have done with this device, I dont see why this wouldnt be possible.
Btw.... shouldnt this thread be in Apps/Themes section?
sent from EVO with XDA app.
This sounds great!
Alright guys, small update, got the software downloaded and the code/sdk for android 2.2. Wasnt motivated enough to put on my nerd hat and get into the code and start searching out the specific lines im looking for. The good news is I have a flow chart laid out for the notification in each scenario.
Gotta figure out how to ensure the program boots on startup and continues working until force closed.
I will be starting with Froyo, and will move it back to 2.1 eventually. My primary focus will be 2.2 on the Evo.
Welp guys i spent 10+ hours this weekend just to figure out that those LED's are only allowed control when the screen is on. This app is not possible without a significantly more experienced developer, who could make the screen control independent of the LED's. Given my little experience this has become too difficult for me to handle. I will sell my idea for free though!
Thanks for trying, would def be awesome if someone could come up with this. My old samsung instinct use to light up the bottom when it had messages, being that it was a samsung as well, I would *think* (i'm not developer) that there are def ppl with the skills to figure this out .... eventually =) thanks for trying....
I have an Asus Pc slate with a MAXIMUM resolution of 1280 by 800 and as you all aware that, in order to get the App on window 8 dev build to swype or dock, you're required to have a system with a screen resolution minimum requirement of 1360 by 768, and anything lower the apps would work BUT NOT the swype docking system.
Be doing some serious searching on the web and stumble across this website with straight forward SOLUTION .
It's NOT my work nor am I a messenger, just wana help out, i tryed it and its working on my Asus Pc Slate that has only 1280 by 800 Screen Resolution, there are two ways of going about it so just visit the site http://www.addictivetips.com/window...ap-feature-and-how-to-snap-metro-application/ and choose which option is easier for you.
Am just excited that its that simple and it work and i have tried it using the tweeter and reed app and works, try it out and leave feedback both here and the website if you can, am sure everyone on here would appreciate it.
Excuse any grammatical & spelling errors.
