I was closing out of texts at least half the time because I usually type pretty fast. This wasn't as big of a deal with the text messaging apps like the stock one and go sms because I could open it back up and finish my text but with IMO my message would be cleared. Huge pain it was

Love the Zelda buttons. Good taste
The extra button functionality might push me into rooting for the very first time...

correction: flashing custom ROM
rooting itself won't get you that.

Swyping for the most part solves this problem, although even when I type it rarely happens.

I can't swype.. I don't know what it is but I'm just not good at it. Maybe it's the same reason I'm always hitting the home button

lol, there is a learning curve with Swype. It's not just a pick up and use type thing, it takes some patience. Once you get used to it though its much faster.

Try the new SwiftKey beta keyboard. Don't need to hit the space bar very often.

I don't want to sound like I'm living under a rock but what's the ROM/App that allow you to do this? I want to get some zelda love too.

I run stock rooted and toggled the full screen mod:

Getting the extra screen real estate is awesome. All video apps run full screen now including browsing, flash video and gaming.
No custom rom required.

A thing I've noticed when showing people swype, is that the faster a typist you are, the easier it is to learn swype. I type 120 WPM myself, so I have a pretty good mental picture of where all of the keys are.

This is why android is #1, customization.

[GUI][APP] Instapaper for Windows 8

Hello! I'm a designer who loves Metro. I'm tired of seeing the lackluster Metro app design currently plaguing the Windows Store. While there are some fantastic designs, many apps are just boring or don't fit in well with the Metro design language.
I'm here to help. I'm offering my design skills at no cost, all I ask for is one line of credit in the app's About page.
This is my first design. It's a complete GUI for Instapaper. It's very clean, modern, and most certainly Metro. It's extremely simplistic, but still has everything you could want from an Instapaper app. This app rivals even the official Android and iOS Instapaper apps. The design is based around the Bing News app and the People app. If you're interested in developing this app, I feel you could charge at least $3 in the Store, and make a good profit, which I would want no part of.
Below are some images. I have PSDs of every interface from the log in to creating a new folder. If you're seriously interested in developing this app, either send me a message or post below.

This is really awesome sir,Im sure someone would be interested in developing such a great design

Aaaagh... don't quote huge OPs like that, please! Just hit Quick Reply and don't use the "Quote message in reply?" option. It just makes the page really long and makes it hard to find the breaks between posts...
To the OP: looks very nice. I hope you find a dev to work with. A few things to keep in mind:
1) Different resolutions, and scaling between them. What looks great on the Surface's 1366x768 will look pretty bad on my desktop's 2560x1440.
2) Different aspect ratios. Tablets in particular are sometimes used in portrait aspect ratio. It would be great to have a good UI for using the app like that too; not enough Store apps handle that well.
3) Snapping the app to one side or the other. This makes it much thinner and also removes the ability to open the App Bar (right-click or swipe in from top/bottom) and Charms bar for that app, so if it's going to be useful in the snapped view it should offer the most critical controls directly to the user in this interface. Skype, Xbox Music, and even Mail do decent jobs of this, although they aren't necessarily pretty.

I do have designs for every view/position (I haven't done anything about scalability, but I have ideas on how to work with that). I only posted the two main views in dark/light varients to make sure people could get a good solid understand of how it will work and function. I have PSD's for almost everything that's needed. I've found someone who says they'd like to work on it.

Its looks very nice... and clean...:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

You should undertake overhauling a well known open source windows software. Most of them dont have a metro counterpart. Just pick anything, i can see you have a pretty functional design understanding.

Needing a Better Calculator

I have several calculators, but none of them work very well with multi windows. Suggestions?

Calc app works perfectly with multi window....
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

If you guys are talking about the stock app, how can you say it works perfectly when the dimensions of the app force you to use more than three quarters of the screen to use it? Could you recommend one that uses half the screen, because if I am expected to give up so much real estate for it, it would be better to completely switch from one app to another. I had thought the whole idea of multitasking was to do more than one thing at a time.
EDIT
Honestly, if you guys are just attempting to be rude, I'd rather not have the help because I was intending to get answers to a serious question.
If the video player that comes stock didn't show the full dimensions of the movie but "worked perfectly" with multi window by merely running and displaying half of the screen, I doubt that would be good enough for you. Of course, you could just expand the window to get more of the picture, but that defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

I second aircal, I use it on jellybam (no multi-window as it is AOSP) but floating calc = better the multi-window calc since you can have 3 things up at a time then lol.
Of course the calc is not super feature rich, but for general math it is good enough for me.

Thanks. With the dev name, I was able to find it. Without it it seemed as though you were talking about the stock and I didn't know any better. It was pretty far down the list, but I found it and I will try it out. The screen shot surely looks much more promising then the stock one on our devices. The Air also looks to have even greater utility and I will give it a look as well. Thanks again.

[WIP] [MOD] Sensor accuracy improvement

Hey everybody. I'm working on a pretty big app the requires very accurate measurements from the accelerometers. As we all know those thing have noise like mad. So I decided to do some experiments and I'd like your feedback.
Experiment setup:
Record sensor event into a custom buffer while to phone is at rest and then moving it up and down a few time, left and right, back and forth. (In this case I used MPL linear acceleration and and Inverted the measurements based on the rotation matrix sensor to get directional linear acceleration vectors not affected by orienatation).
My results had shown that at rest, my phone was accelerating between -0.5m/s^2 and .5m/s^2 WHILE AT REST.
I took these data point which were samples at about 100Hz and upsampled the data to 44100Hz using linear interpolation because I'm a lazy bum. When I'm finished collecting data I then write it out to three files which represent the data from the X, Y, and Z axes. The format I used for writing the data was as 32-bit floats (big endian). I wrote all of this in java BTW.
Next I imported this data into Audacity to get a visual representation of the data. Using audacity also gives me some tools to reduce the noise.
This is a sample of the data I worked with unfiltered (the at rest data is in circle in red and the up-down motion is circled by yellow):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I then got the noise profile of the at rest segment and used it as a noise-gate and got the following result:
That looks a lot smoother and also that little blip on the left is the acceleration caused by my finger leaving the screen after starting the app (I think). It appears that the accelerometers are still just as sensitive, but not as noisy.
So with this, method I have two options, since this algorithm is open source and originally written in C++ I can implement in the kernel as a new Virtual sensor in libsensors.so. I think this would not be nearly as heavy on the CPU. Dince the algorithm is really just a few FFT operations. Or I can port the algorithm to java that way there is no need to screw around with the kernel.
Comments, thoughts, suggestion, critiques, complaints?

That's amazing. I'd like to see this implemented.

I just finished implementing the algorithm in java. I have a feeling it will be somewhat frustrating when I run the code. There were a few hacks I had to do just to get the java code to compile. I wanted to do the quick and dirty, so I pretty much just ported the algorithm as best as I could. The original algorithm called for a CharBuffer which in c++ is char *variableName, since I'm working with floats I'm converting it to a floatBuffer. Also they use their own custom implementation of FFTs so I have no clue how jTransform will handle it. Finally every method seems to be static so from a data comparison perspective, I have a feeling that this is going to cause all sorts of weirdness. Hopefully I'll have some result data posted around 4PM EDT. This time is very tentative since I have to prep for a HUGE meeting for work.

Update delayed
Hey everyone just wanna let you know that the algorithm is doing something but not what I expected and I have a meeting to go to so I'll try to give you all a more thorough update tonight.

Kind of found the issue
I kind of found the issue with my unexpected result, when I exported the noise clip it appears it wrote it as little endian floats, I'll try to resolve this and hopefully post some results (again). I have a better feeling about this algorithm than I initially had

Where I'm at in my progress
As I'm waiting for my code to compile (code not related to this project). I'd thought I'd show you some of my latest results.
This is a garbage result. It appears that something goofy is going on when I'm writing out the data (which is interpolated as the data is being written). This is certainly showing the noise cancellation doing something though.

Willing to see it!

Would anything be willing to make this watch face? I like the simplicity, but elegance of this watch face:

Can I request a black background? And, sorry to n00b it, is there a way to set the ambient screen to the a lighter (meaning less bright) version of the watch without the second hand moving? Is that something I can do?
GREAT work man

The watch is only made with the light background. I can invert the image and desaturate the blue tint, and you'll have a black background with white/grey markers and text. What I will not do is recreate/photoshop out all the markers and just replace the background with black and keep the markers in gold, as that is way way more work than your original request. If you're ok with the black/white look, I can easily do that.

There is no second hand on my watch, as the original DW doesn't have it either, neither does the image on your OP. It's only hour and minute. As far as changing the image when it's dimmed, it's just a matter of duplicating the layer, changing the opacity and setting that to show when dimmed, and setting the original layer not to show when dimmed.
I'm not entirely sure if you're talking to me thinking of this:

or thinking of these:

http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/daniel-wellington-classic-silver-date-14a7c79b209
All three of those somehow, magically, appeared online after I created mine based on your request.
If none of those three are what you want, I can modify the one I made. But I don't want to waste my time, so check those out and let me know.

Thanks, I will try and muddle through the settings. Still very new to this. I am using Watchmaker, and will play around.
There are some of the watches I like, but I use ambient setting, and for some the watch face disappears and only the hands remain. Others have a second hand that freezes in ambient mode, then jumps around when it activates fully.
If that even makes sense.
Thanks for all the work, you do a phenomenal job.

Thanks! I ran into the issue where 4 Pm appears as 8 pm on my watch. Bug?

I think it's because this watch face lacks 12 hour time support. Any way to add this in? Thanks

Watch Face does not lack 12 hour support. It's using the standard tag. You can also just change that yourself in Facer by opening the layer for the hour hand and changing the rotation tag.

Hi, I love this face, but it keeps displaying the wrong time. Sometimes it shows it like 8 hours out but currently it's not moving the hour hand with minutes, just staying exactly on the hour.
Anyone / @Max_Pain have any idea?
Edit: in fact, the hour hand is stuck at 12.
