Are there any screen rotation utility with animation effect like SS Omnia's?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk1ZF3bcPMo
Cool !!!!!! hope someone could do this app for HD´n ?
Yeah, saw this on my brother's Omnia last weekend, and wondered if it was do-able on the HD. Does look pretty cool!!
i want it too!
That looks really great, I'll be very happy, if anyone can port this to the Blackstone.
Yeah this would be excellent!!
that does look slick
like the iphone will be better

i don0t think so..
is there anyone who's porting this app^?
It gives me a headache.
That is pretty damned cool. Similar hardware on the Omnia? Would this app be directly portable?

It could be, if someone could send me the Samsung Omnia's whole windows folder I could try and find this app or you can try it yourself!!!
just search in windows folder for the app name and extract all files from the Omnia's folders to HD folders and run the app!!!!
BUT I DONT KNOW IF THAT WILL WORK!!!!
We need someone who understands more!!!! Not Me!!!!
Wow we must have it for ou blackstones. Senseless but awesome
very very cool!!
that is excellent, exactly what i need cos i get annoyed with the slight delay and this program seems to solve this by doing something in the meantime (if you get what I mean?)
The slight delay is related to sensitivity. In this case there would be a slight delay before the animation would start.
I use Flip It which I find has almost no delay coupled with increasing the sensitivity on HDTweak.
I wish I had dev skills
These little apps are what make a difference - they add polish! Very cool if someone would port this!
Prob needs to be tied in the sensor app for touch hd an maybe some driver dependency tweaks - seems logical and not the biggest feat. But then I am no DEV.
Anyone care to answer?
Cheers
I love any eye candy software.. Bring it on.
looking good! please develop, I might donate for this!
looks great butt still noone who sead to make it for our beloved blackstone's
Hi Everyone!
I just picked up a Samsung Continuum last night. Actually returned my Droid X for this phone. The allure of cracking the Ticker was too much for me to handle any longer.
So with that said, has anyone been able to find out any information on developing stuff for the ticker? I know Samsung has not released any official APIs for using it. I'm assuming, however, that the drivers and some source code for using it has been released with the OS source code.
Is this a true assumption? If so has anyone started looking into how we can take advantage of it? I'm not a ROM developer so I'm hoping I can find ways into the API with the stock ROM.
Any advice and or pointers anyone can offer (especially if you've already been looking into it!) would be greatly helpful for me. As I said, the whole reason I got this phone was to hack the ticker. I can see so many incredible uses for it that I must find a way to take advantage of it!
Thanks in advance!
Oh, and this is my first post so Hi
Honestly i have no idea what so ever.
But i really hope we can do something. I bet there is some sweet stuff the right person can do with the ticker.
We currently have one dev (who doesn't have a Continuum) and a handful of testers working on getting Odin, Clockwork Recovery, and a Ported version of CyanogenMod going. No other devs or work that I know of..... Future looks bright though...
Thank you both for the replies!
I've spent a few hours looking into the source and dedexing some files off my Continuum. Made some progress, I think. I've spent my time looking over the TickerHistory service (the activity that gets launched when you click the up/down arrow in the right side of the ticker).
I'm trying to track down what actually happens when you click the Refresh button on that screen. I know when I press it my ticker updates but I'm not sure if that's controlled by the TickerHistory or something else. That's what I'm hoping to find out.
I wish I could see LogCat outputs but the Continuum is not being picked up by this computer. I will have to wait until I'm around my development machine. In the mean time I'm going to start playing with Titanium Backup. Going to freeze a bunch of services and see if any of them cause the ticker to stop working. That should help get me some more focused direction
I'll keep ya'll posted!

People have been known to call me that =)
I only wish I had a better knowledge of C/C++ (Unfortunately I work in a MS/Java/Adobe world) so I could help with the ROM cooking. I figured attempting to crack the ticker would be a good first step into the Android modding world =)
Well, it's nice to see we might have another Dev! Welcome to the forums!
ticker
Hey I been testing the the developers code and he had me dump the file attached. See if it helps.

Thanks for the dump Logan!
I've learned a few things since I've been home. Nothing major but the new information should help point us in the right direction.
No matter what service I freeze in Titanium the ticker continues to get updates. This could mean many things. Maybe the service is hidden, maybe there isn't a service. Who knows right now. This is really what we're looking for.
Disabling some applications makes the ticker not work when clicking an item.
For example, disabling SNS Provider makes it so it can't launch email when clicking on the email icon
TickerRootView is what LogCat displays as a Tag when interacting with the ticker (ie: swiping left to right)
TickerStandbyView is what LogCat displays as a Tag when, well, the ticker goes into StandBy
Disabling a service, sending a test email, re-enabling the service is not a fun process when you have over 100 items to test
As I said, nothing major has been learned yet but this information should help to keep pointing us in the right direction. Will keep playing and will hopefully have more updates by the end of the night
The ticker easily has the most potential for customization as far as development for this phone is concerned. I'm glad you've chosen it as your starting point. Many thanks for your hard work to come.

Editing out my previous message I had here -
Semi-decent break through.
Ticker code lives inside the services.jar file. com.android.server.ticker.*
Now to see where I can go from here =)
Just my little wish list:
Ability to set update interval
Ability to put 4x1 widgets in the ticker
Oh, and, someone else suggested being able to drop the dock down there, to free up screen space.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Changing the update frequency may be fairly simple. Need to test a few things with that.
I'm still looking into how we can get a custom View down there. The neat thing is it's just a ViewFlipper rendering Views, both Java coded and XML declared.

I purchased my Continuum for the very same reasons. I see this baby as being one helluva phone once we wash all of the 'whiz off of it!
As odd as it sounds, I am just as interested in cracking the soft buttons just as much as the ticker. The screen being physically a 480 x 992 display with rationed space for the buttons and ticker, I'd like to go about changing the buttons. Maybe make them bigger or in a different order, or have them change depending on mode or activity. Or rotate with the orientation of the phone! Perhaps a subtle pulsing of a button to indicate a notification while the phone is timed-out.
I feel that when the phone is figured out, we'll have a damn impressive device in our hands. A developer's dream.

I'd like to see the Pandora menu down there when it's opened. Can't believe Samsung didn't already do this.

That's a fine example of a 4x1 widget we could put down there... I would like to see Tweetdeck as well, but we don't have to agree on which ones if we just get the widget functionality....
Viva la devs!!!

The icons for the ticker (like the music player and the weather widget and etc) and the soft keys are in framework-res.apk just in case someone didn't know I just can't find am appropriate way to sign the apk back up once you unpack it so that the phone doesn't reject it xP lol

No progress to speak of today, unfortunately. Still trying to figure out if it's possible to add our own views to the ticker. Quite honestly, I'm not all that optimistic. At least not with having the ability to do it without requiring a custom SOMETHING (services.jar, ROM, etc).
The reason I say this is it looks like all the widgets are hard coded into the Ticker code. That may or may not be a bad thing. If I can find out where those widgets are added we may be able to tap into it.
I've also started looking into changing the update frequency for the facebook/twitter/myspace ticker widget. If I could figure out how to get the /data/data folder off my phone it would be super helpful. I guess I don't know ADB well enough. Even though I'm rooted every time I do an adb pull /data/data /usr/development/continuum/data I get a permission denied error. I know it's possible but for some reason I'm struggling with it, lol.
Will keep ya'll posted! I'll start looking into the "button bar" as well. See if I can come up with anything there.
I've been looking into the services that the ticker depends on for its feeds, and widgets, and it's all very interesting to me. I'm definitely going to be diving into this once I get clockwork up and running for everyone. Stay in touch and maybe we could co-op this one. (;

Ok so im home and good to go for any questions you guys have on the phone
audio quality? compare to your recent mp3 player/phone?
---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 AM ----------
forgot to say, in earphone only.
Can you tell me, does Samsung Galaxy Nexus have usb-host? Google says that you can connect keyboards, mouses etc. But not any word about usb flash drives. Does SGN can recognise any flash drives like it can do Galaxy S2?
Thank you in advance.
@tvp I would say the audio is on par with the Galaxy S II for speaker use, Still the single speaker, but I found using headphones the nexus was slightly better than my S II. Plus i use my phone for music through my cars built in 3.5mm jack and ics has an equalizer in the music player meaning you can really get the best out of your music depending on what your using eg headphones, speaker, car etc just by tweaking the EQ
thanks for quick reply, another question.
This is a deal-breaker for me, does the phone support flash?
Can you tell me if the phone dialer works by spelling out a name on the phone dialer screen from your contacts to look up the number?
I have an HTC TB, and the HTC dialer is great.
I hope this phone does this, or i will have to find an app I suppose.
Ok Usb host: I have not been able to try this however it was a feature in android v3 so i dont see it being removed in ICS when i get the chance il try it.
Flash: I have as of yet not been able to get it to work. I have installed flash 11 with no joy I am awaiting confirmation on whats happening with this
And no name dialling it simply displays the number however on ever page of ICS you have a search bar and you just type the name into that and it brings up the contact where you can call straight from there
no flash ??? That's gone be an issue seeing as they are NOT updating flash to support new versions
I know it appears to be an issue since adobe gave up on flash. Im waiting to hear from Samsung regarding this to see if they have any solution as its kind of a major omission esp until everyone starts to use html5
Any other Q ?

Could you show the now playing in the notification and/or music on the lock screen, I'd love to know how it looks
Because one signature isn't enough

Thanks for the video, nice and in depth, pity about the frame rate though.
Yes great video, but the frame rate ruins the experience a bit.

I think an alternative (3rd party app) for the HTC dialer would be something like RocketDialer
And Kenneth, first of all I wanted to thank you for the amazing video you posted (also thanked you on the video itself Second, I wanted to ask if you could download the most memory/processor intensive apps that you know of and see if there is any sluggish performance or noticeable lag? (A video would be extremely appreciated) Third, I wanted to know with the multitasking, does it save the last previous state? E.g. for the iphone (as far as I know), when you load a webpage in the browser, exit out of it open some other apps, and then go back into the browser the exact state is saved so it doesn't reload the page when you re-enter the webpage. Finally, I would appreciate it if you could download some free games (e.g. wind up knight, tap tap revenge 4) that require a huge amount of graphics and attempt to play it on the phone. The phone is known to have a really, REALLY, outdated GPU and I wanted to know how it performs.
Sorry if this is too much to ask, and your help is very appreciated
Hey Ken,
Would you be able to find out if OTG usb works? Particularly whether or not the Galaxy Nexus can browse the contents of a usb thumb drive? I have been asking all over the forum and over the internet and as yet still cannot find information, documentation or videos that this is possible.
Thank you very much.

Very interesting, thanks, it's been bugging me about how it looked since it was first announced.
Great vid! Any graphic studdering during games or anything? I don't play many games but alil worried about the lesser gpu.
id ask a question but at this point I'm just waiting until Monday when we're supposed to be getting this phone. I want to see what its like in person & decide then if I want to keep this Rezound or switch up.
I just hope the 32GB model is $299(or possibly on some sale). ill be damned if ill pay that price just for 16GB.
I know there are applications that allow videos when a call comes in. Is it possible to get the ICS boot animation when a call comes in? I think this would be pretty neat. Most likely battery draining but I just like the thought. Is it possible? Share some insight.
I'm assuming you mean something like this?

Hey guys...
Just heard about S Voice. It sounds even better than siri. So I gave it a try on our device with CM9 alpha2.
So here it is:
The major function is OK, concerning listening and giving answers. Mount Everest's height can be found, weather OK, and even silly questions.
But the problem is here...
First, it is not quite responsive. Sometimes the button does not respond. However it can be worked around by re-launching it.
Second, the integration with local data does not work. Whenever I tell it to create a new task and/or calendar event, it crashes.
Third, it is not customizable. When you try to change the wake up phrase, it crashes. Worse still, you have to clear the data of the app to revive it.
Na.
Well, just asking if any developer is interested in making it work in our device?
