Umm....which fonts? Which sizes?

most threads.
I wish I could post a link.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945582
here is an example.
the first two are small, and the third is GOOD! (at least from my Note 2 screen)
I find myself constantly having to zoom in and out & scrolling to read it all.
It would be so much easier to read if it was all the same size.
Thanks for listening.

First two what? First two posts?
They all look the same to me. I'm not sure what you're seeing?

its doing it here too in this thread...?
maybe it has to do with my own settings?

Pretty sure that's down to your browser not the site. Chrome does this for me but Dolphin doesn't ( an older version of dolphin BTW).

Or theme maybe? This is on desktop, both Chrome and Firefox. The 2013-1024 theme has weird fonts for the menus and also the items under the Quick Links is a little off layout (not in screenshot, can get you one if needed).

Thanks!
I'm using Firefox. I'll try a different one.

Wow I know this is pretty old now but it was a life saver.
The 2013 theme is terrible for chrome android. The font sizes are really messed up. Half of them are too tiny to read. Im surprised this isnt a bigger issue for people.
I spent the last two days testing other browsers trying to find something I like to solve this problem because most browsers work fine with 2013 theme
Theres just no other browser that doesnt fail in some area for me. So finding that changing to 2010 fixes the font size issue is fantastic.
...
What would be even better is if XDA could fix their site to work with chrome because the 2013 definitely looks better overall. In the meantime however. YAY! thanks

My new favorite live wallpaper: Light Grid Pro

I've got it themed up for Cyanogen goodness:
{
"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_share": "Share",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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.

Font problem

I was trying to create small font (hate big letters) and I got it, but there is one problem. If you check picture you will see that text is kind of up and down - not straight (kind like a wave - see image below). Why and how to fix this? Btw if someone wants to try I am including flashable zip below

Not saying you shouldnt create your own cause thats cool but HERE is a list of over 300 flashable fonts. If you havent got your working yet, id check it out. Ill take a look at yours though and see if I can figure it out.
Thank I know about those, but like I said, I want something small
Ok, I got it. For all people here who love smaller font just like me here is it.
I am including printshots soo you can see how does it look like. Hope someone will like it...
Enjoy !
Great! Looks good toh and I like your wallpaper! If you don't mind me asking, what was the problem and how was it fixed?

Ok I am expecting feedback going to sleep now need to get up early... Night.
After playing around a little bit here are my pros n cons:
Pros:
Allows App names with longer names to appear without being cutoff
very clean and legible
lets you see more of the characters of text you are typing
cons:
can make browsing a little more difficult to select links since more zooming is required at times.
if someone has bad eye sight then I wouldn't recommend it
Overall nice font pack! Can really grow to like it. But will probably stick with comfortaa

It is there, but you have to look for it on the online list and it is like at the very bottom.
I tried it it kinda worked but it was unable to installed some lockscreen themes from online. Also didnt like it that the Lockscreen showed chinese/Jap letters couldnt find the options to change it either.
Thanks
Def what I was looking for to update my bland lockscreen.
Looks like it's officially in the Market, too! Here's a market link in case you're uncomfortable allowing it to "Autoly check." At least I THINK that's what that option is supposed to do!
As one of the reviews says, this definitely feels like a beta release. I'm sure they'll add more translation in future releases, because right now the heavy amount of kanji is kind of a turnoff for a person who doesn't know how to read that.
EDIT: looks like you can add wallpapers by dropping them into /sdcard/miui/wallpaper

I second that. I love MIUI, it's pretty much the only rom I ran on my Evo. That being said, the chinese characters are annoying.
Edit: Sapphire is easily the best option. It's in English too!

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?

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.

COURTESY OF ANDROID CENTRAL
It's a pretty decent launcher even though on touchwiz most widgets don't work.
Plus been in communication with the Dev since he first posted videos of his launcher, he said there would be public beta but just posted this paid beta.
He already said he would be looking into the widgets issue.
Let's see.

The bad thing about this launcher is the long list to scroll down if you have lots of apps.

Not really. Just click on the begiining letter of the app you want and it takes you there. The app is too minimal in features is my problem.
If the action bar and covers were added to something such as nova it would be the perfect launcher. IMO
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I'm pretty well pleased with the Action launcher. Smooth and all the widgets I've installed worked well with no discrepencies at all. I think it is worth a try. I hope he follows with updates.
I really like the concept but features need to be added to make it a competitor.
It REALLY needs to expand the edges. If it would fix that I could see myself using it all the time. But as I use things like android pro widgets and wizz widgets, it just ruins it:
All that wasted space
However, I assume as he updates it more options will appear .
