1. 720p recording ~15fps and only with mpeg4, not with H264.
2. send vCard as SMS
3. slightly changed sms interface
4. faster browsing, or at least it feels faster
5. faster program switching
6. Wifi tethering
7. flashlight app from HTC
8. changed default Android caller icon
9. a few other changed icons
10. 90 degree clockwise orientation

Here's a little more comprehensive list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741491

[Ideas] Bada Modifications.

I would like to hear your ideas for Bada modifications, what things do you want to see done to Bada?
Everything and anything goes! (within reason)

My wishlist.
-
Delete some unneeded "Icons"... because I can remove Facebook, Twitter ...
But few JAVA Midlets are somewhere protected against remove.
I was able to delete jar, jad, Icon but Icon still there in menu
Where is the Database entry to clear?
Preinstalled Widget too...
-
120 Apps Limit...
Hmm, there are other ways to replace ... BUT why 120 Apps are Maximum?
-
Developer signed Apps are only 1 possible to activate...
bada SDK Samples for instance...
Via Broker.exe Install seems more then 1 work at the same time... Why?
And how to expand to install more then 1 App at same time.
-
Filemanager bada App with Access to internal Filesystem.
I'm sure that Samsung will not allow this on their Store... but is it possible.
Someone told their are no APIs to access internal folder...
maybe invetigation of apps_compressed.bin will help to find "Commands"...
-
Folder delete in internal FS
I can create folder with PSAS, but can't delete. They are writeprotected.
More ideas hopefully later...
Best Regards

well for instance i wanna change the keyboard to either htc or iphone.... this one is too crammy like congested.... wanna have a spacious potrait keyboard......... and with universal setting like if i wanna activate predective text it should apply everywhere... not just in messages........ and it should always stay on..........
secondly i wud like to see more UI modifications beyond just themes...... like changing the status bar or the way notifications occur and stuff........... custom roms maybe... variety is a good thing...

I'd like to see:
Ability to create widgets or widget like apps using system parameters..
For eg: GPRS data, browser bookmarks, setting wallpapers etc..
Customization of the top Notification Panel buttons.
Filemanager Drag and Drop to move files and folders
A memory cleanup application.
Big Aspect sized thumbnails for videos.. now we cannot distinguish videos in thumb view.
More Right click options in files/folders - i.e., Click and Hold to show Menu options to Move/Copy/Delete/Rename/Open with/etc..

I'd like to see shortcuts (with names) like on Android and continous autofocus in the video cam !

My ideas or things I want in Bada
Here are my ideas :
1. Ability to replace whole UI like Android.
2. Folders in Menu.
3. Text-reflow in Browser.
5. Unlimited Menu pages and Home screens.
6. Unlimited SMS storage (why you want to restrict us to 1300 on a SMARTPHONE )
7. Sending Group SMS to any number of people (can be very useful for certain type of
businesses. Did u think about it Sammy ?)
8. Auto-hide of Notification bar and Lower bar after certain amount of time or on Tap.
9. Different Wallpapers on every home screen.
10. Better animations.
11. Smaller icons. 4x5 grid with an option to change to suit consumers' taste.
12. Notification Drop down to have buttons for APN, Brightnesss.
13. In-built Backup-Restore app for all phone data. User should be able to select to what he
wants to backup or restore.
14. Highly efficient GPS. (I would not like to buy a BMW whose tires I have to fix. I have
paid for it, btw.)
15. Better Facebook(with chat), Twitter and IM app atleast Gtalk. Current one plainly sucks
16. Various bugs in Messaging to be fixed.
17. Select all and Mark as read option in Email app.
18. Universal availability of Social Hub Premium.
19. A little better sound output through speakers (it is based on personal taste only )
20. Text-reflow and Pinch-to-zoom in Email app.
21. Soft buttons for Menu and Back.
22. All applications to have Exit button.
more to come.................
Out of all these I have already solved 7th but then everybody can't make changes to the file system.
Yes, I do love Bada and its potential. Its simplicity is killing feature
Thanks !

I think user experience would benefit by implementing GPU acceleration in UI and browser as in IOS and Windows phone 7.

Hi all. @TigerCourage on AF I play with the camera settings file "CamSetting.ini" in folder "Registry" can be seen with the program "sTune" (I started some new options "IntelligentAuto" I do not know what does). There is also an option to focus on video recording "RecordFocusMode" from "0" to "2" default "0". Try setting but do backup before (right click and copy).
Try my sample file

Doesn't work mate, I tried copying your file and then doing a soft rest and it didn't work. I also tried playing with options like RecordFocusMode and IntelligentAuto but still the same...
It would be very AWESOME if we get continous autofocus on Wave!

Hey how you copy a file because the file copied to the phone is only by drag and drop. If you are able to copy my files when you start the camera will see the icon "sA" without restarting the phone. Otherwise the effect of the settings I have attached the file with changed sound of shooting

Yes I copied by drag and drop and I've seen your "sA" icon at the beginning but the continous autofocus is nowhere to be seen...

Is there anyway to save camera shoot images in uncompressed format so that the quality of captured images will be maximum?

I would like to have a "fast-access" GPS button - next to the mute button ("green" menu). I'm really sure that this function will be very popular!

Here are my ideas :"
about ur 7 th point (group sms to any no. of people).. this can be done using stune... jst modify the ini of messages settings there the limit is set to 10.. i dont remember the exact folder
and too lazy to look ... jst play around and see if u find it. otherwise i'll find it for u

I would like to have more keyboard languages (with T9 or whatever it's called on the Wave).
I have seen a friend of mine with a Wave from Vodafone, and he has 30+ langage/keyboard optinons. On my wave (normal German FW) I have about 10. No Cyrillic characters, no Chinese, no Arabian...
How am I supposed to use the full functionality of such a wonderful phone if i can't write an email to a friend /business associate in Russia for example.
I could grump about it a few more pages, but the essence should already be clear
P.S. AFAIK the languages are stored in the CSC flash file, so it's not so easy to "just add" some in, but I hope someone from samsung might also see this and think about it.

Android.=D

If i where a moderator or administrator i would ban that guy for inciting flame wars...

[APP] GB/ICS Driving mode widget

Hi all,
Galaxy S2 (update: also Galaxy S3) has a feature that can read out name of people who are calling you, or who sends you a message, as it happens. It's called Driving Mode and can be accessed through the settings.
Have been looking for a stand alone widget for this for a long time but didn't find any. Hence I made one... a widget that allows you to switch Driving Mode on/off with a touch.
Attached herewith
Features -
1. Economic in space - smaller than VLingo driving widget, which takes up 1x3 blocks.
2. As you remove the last instance of the widget, the background service automatically unloads. Does not use up RAM unnecessarily if you don't plan to use it, even if you keep it installed.
3. Does not depend on VLingo Voice Commands, if you uninstall it you can still use this.
v1.2 (2012-07-12) -
Ability to control this with 3rd party apps like Llama using Intents.
New icon.
Download
It is recommended that you download the widget from an appstore like Google Play (links are below), so that you will get the automatic updates.
Google Play - Download free version from Google Play
Google Play (Donate) - Download the donate version from Google Play
Cheers

What's the difference between this and the voice widget which has driving mode on/off?
Edit: just re-read your post and noticed you wanted a stand alone widget. Installed your version and it's basic. Just a green light (on/off) which is quite handy and space saving. Especially for me on sslauncher where widgets can be placed anywhere.
Good stuff.

Yes... I uninstalled VLingo (or Voice Commands) since from time to time I would accidentally double tap the home button, and irrespective of the phone being in silent mode, there it would come - speaking aloud "What would you like to do?"
Unfortunately the widget in your screenshot also goes away if I uninstall vlingo. That's when I missed the driving mode widget... Well, not anymore

Thanks, will try....

Running nicely and found a spot for it in sslauncher. Thanks again!

A newbie question...can this widget be used on CM9? Does this widget request some Samsung framework to work?

I don't believe it will work on cm9 as the rom doesn't include driving mode.
Sent from my GT-I9100T

I have easily installed in my Galaxy S II on other page, because home page is full and there is no space for the tinny green spot.
When driving mode is on, what can I profit ? What's the use of it ?
Many tks. for your efforts.
By the way, will it work on the coming 4.0 ?

does it support Hebrew language ?

Hi Hirak99,
Great replacement for that oversized Android widget! Thanks!!
A small question, I'm using Llama (location based profile switching) to automatically switch a number of things. I would like to automatically activate the driving mode (when my bluetooth carkit connects).
In order to automate the process Llama "activates" an Android intent.
Therefore I'm looking for the following info regarding your widget:
- Intent send mode: start activity, start service or broadcast?
- package name: com.arnab.drivingmode (?)
- class name: ?
- action: ?
For example: I had an app where only the "action" had to be filled in: "package name".widget.CLICK
If you don't mind I will inform the developer of Llama and maybe he will include the "drivingmode" intent in Llama.
Thanks in advance!

I like the description of Llama, will check it out myself.
Here's the source code I am using myself for the intent to be broadcast -
Intent intent = new Intent(context, DWidget.class);
intent.setAction("_click_handler");
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
So for Llama, you could try the following values -
1. Intentmode - Broadcast
2. Package - com.arnab.drivingmode
3. Class - N/A (broadcast intents should go to all classes)
4. Action - "_click_handler"
Note that
1) This will only toggle the driving mode. But if this works, I can modify it to listen to other intent actions to definitively turn on or off.
2) This will probably work only when the widget is shown. I have kept a count of number of widgets on display, and made the service unload if no widget is shown to release memory.

Just added new version - will automatically turn on driving mode as you connect to bluetooth taking your idea. You should see a toast confirming it when you connect to bluetooth, only if you are using the widget and the driving mode was off when you connect.
If you use it let me know your feedback

Many thanks!
Llama isn't responding to the command, now I've tried your new version instead.
It work perfectly without Llama!!

Just installed this. Great idea! I was going to request the bluetooth feature until I noticed you had already been asked and solved.
Great work and thank you.

Thanks

I noticed the this driving mode widget turn on the phone's ability to announce incoming caller and texted names but doesn't read the message aloud. On my Samsung epic Vlingo in driving mode would read the message body. Vlingo on the SII doesn't appear to do that? Is there anyway to have it do so? Just reading the sender isn't much use if I don't know what they sent

Yeah I'd like that too. Unfortunately this phone doesn't seem to support it. You can check all the options in Settings - Language and input - Text to speech - Driving mode options. Strangely enough the message readout option's description states that full messages are read, though it doesn't seem to happen.

Hey man, I was looking at your app and I find it awesome!! I have the Galaxy S3 (US Version) and it works like a charm through the widget. The problem is that the bluetooth portion doesn't work.
I would also like to be able to toggle this setting via Tasker, as someone tried earlier.
Do you know what the Action Intent or Component Intent should look like. I tried a bunch of combinations without any luck.

[Q] S Note Capabilities

Is it posible to set an audible & visual reminder with the S Note App?
EG - Call for Milk On Way Home.. & set it to remind me @ 5pm with a pop up screen & an audio sound?
If so how is this done?
What other things can be done with the Note App.
Thanks

go to the full app if you use the popup version(arrow in the top-left corner), finish your note, press menu, and select "create event"
this will be done through your default calendar app.
as for special features: the only thing i can think of is the popup note, which you can launch from anywhere you want as a small hovering window, by tapping the screen twice while holding the S-pen button.

I am not sure if this is new, but in Picture Insertion Choices there is a choice called (Idea Sketch). it is so cool, i tried to write (Bird) & it gave me few birds pictures to insert! i chose one, & it has been inserted in my original note. That's really cool!
Also the -Knowledge Search- button is very useful.
In addition to the common known functions:
Handwriting to Text
Shape Match
Formula Match
