I'm running the ATT stock rom minus bloat. When I recieve a text, half the time it doesn't scroll down to the most recent text. I have to scroll down manually. If I close the message app and then reopen it, it usually does scroll to the most recent text. Also, the area in which you type your message is chopped in half, so you can't see what you've typed. I had this same issue on my Tilt and now I'm having it on my Tilt 2. On my Tilt, I was even running a modified rom.
When I have that half line of text I open up the onscreen keyboard, close it and my text box is back to normal. Another suggestion was to make the text box 4 lines instead of 2, so even if you have hte issue you still have 2 1/2 lines. I have the same thing with the most recent text, but I live with it because its not too bothersome.
How do you make it four?
Not sure how that is done?
I was looking for a while and couldn't find the post I was refeering to, all I could find was something for the tp1:
Are there ways to enlarge the sms typing area?
you can use the freeware "TOTAL COMMANDER" and edit the file thread_sms.html. You can do a search to easily find it...windows directory.
look for this part:
<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell...
and play around with the number in height (in this case 35). change to 70 and get 3 lines for text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you.
*you need to soft reset after editing the file.

Is it possible to create a widget that will draw images randomly from a designated folder. I've been searching to see if someone has done something similar to this but it looks like the closest I can get is using the images as an iconset although I still don't know how I would have Zooper pull the images randomly (I want to add to the folder occasionally). Is this something that I could do by adding in Tasker?
Any ideas?
I currently have an image widget on one of my homescreens and the way I do it is as follows:
I basically add each photo as a bitmap: So you add a bitmap module and then you navigate to the photo you want in your device gallery. After choosing your photo, you need to add advanced parameters that will control the bitmap opacity at a certain time during the day.
[bo][/bo] is used for bitmap opacity
#DH# is used for local hour during the day (0-23)
my conditional is set up as follows for my first photo.
[bo]$#DH#>=16&&#DH#<22?100:0$[/bo]
What this means is that if the current local time on my device is between the hours of 16 to 22 (4pm to 10pm) then set the bitmap opacity to 100%, else set it to 0%. You can theoretically set this up to have a max of 24 photos (one per hour) each day that continually loops. Mine is set up in intervals of 6 hours (4 photos total) but I plan on changing the values to allow for more.
The next one would be:
[bo]$#DH#>=22||#DH#<04?100:0$[/bo]
Notice I use an OR statement || versus an AND statement && because the value goes from 0-23 and if you used an && here the image would never display because of the conflicting conditional.

This is a good website that outlines conditional statements in ZW.
I'm assuming this is sort of what you are going for with your widget? It's not really "random" per se but it gets the job done. Not quite sure what you could do involving tasker.

I was thinking about doing exactly this or possibly applying weather conditions to various pictures also. It doesn't really look like it's possible to add a random factor but this should do the trick.
Your steps are exactly what I needed.
Thanks

There is mathematical function you can use called rand...
Izzy Lamantia helped me out with this ...
The random function provides a number between 0*1, like 0.866390265. Let's say you had 10 pictures (named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.) you wanted to randomize on the hour:
$#Dm#=0?(int(random()*10)$.jpg
So again, on every hour a random number will be generated, multiplied by 10, and return it as an integer 0.866390265 x10= 8.66390265, as an integer 8.

So I would need to label the images: 1.png (I'm using png's), 2.png, 3.png, etc...?
Would the limit then be 10 images? If I wanted to use more than 10 images I could x 100 but then I'm guessing I would need to assign each image a range, if n >= 25 and n < 30 then x.png and so on. Can that be done?
Also, I'm a little unclear about how bitmap absolute path works. Is there a specific folder that I would need to put my bitmaps in? Looking at this example it seems that I can pick any folder I want.
It's awesome to hear that this can be done. I just need to work out the details now.

I was having some trouble getting this working but I finally found that there needs to be an extra set of parentheses.
$#Dm#=0?(int(random())*100)$ which give me a 2 digit number.
Now... I either have to pick 100 images (and label them 0-99, or is it 1-100?) or find a way to give the images a range.
If I have 2 separate widgets using the same parameters and drawing from the same folder, will the random number be the same or different in each of the widgets?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you
You would need 100 images and label them 1-100 if your multiplier is 100. You would need, say, 123 images and label them 1-123 if you multiplier is 123 i.e. $#Dm#=0?(int(random())*123)$
In my experience, the number generated is always different even if two random functions are performed at the same time although there is always the possibility that it will occasionally be the same.
I can't seem to get the widget working.
Here are the parameters I'm using $#Dm#=43?/sdcard/Pictures/Pics1/(int((random())*10)).png$.
Ignore the 43. Whatever time it is, I just add a minute so that I don't have to wait long to see if the widget will update.
I thought it might be the file path so I tried a few others:
/storage/sdcard0/Pictures/Pics1/
/emulated/0/Pictures/Pics/
Any ideas?
is it possible to create a picture
I had tried it many times but that does not work out
Not sure if OP is still wanting an answer to this or not. I'm still working on getting this perfect but hopefully this will help someone.
Create a folder on your sd card and put 10 jpg's in there titled 1.jpg through 10.jpg
Create a Zooper Widget and add a bitmap layer
do not choose an image, instead select Advanced Parameters and insert the following code
/sdcard/full path to image folder/$#Dm#>0?(int((random())*10)))$.jpg
If the above is correct then the example box should list /sdcard/full path to image folder/*.jpg
What does this do? If the minute is greater than 0 it will generate a pseudo-random number between 1 and 0. If you have set Zooper to update when the screen is off then you will want to replace the ">" with "=" so it only updates once an hour. You can make further adjustments by using Dh for hours rather than minutes. As stated above you can increase the images by multiplying by 100.
I wrote it like I did because I don't let Zooper update while the screen is off. If I changed the image on the hour it would likely not update the image because I would have to have my screen on at the beginning of each hour. As it is, it changes the image every 10 seconds or so whenever I have the screen on.
I am open to other modifications of this so I can keep Zooper configured to not update when the screen is off, and only change the images every 10 minutes or so.
Also, you may want a fallback image so you have something to display while you wait to whatever condition needs to be meet in order for Zooper to generate the random number.

I did the above, but had to add an extra parentheses before the word "int" to get it to display properly in the example box.
/sdcard/full path to image folder/$#Dm#>0?((int((random())*10)))$.jpg
However, when I save and exit out of the Zooper, it still just shows the default "folder" icon. I have it pointing to 1-10.jpg in a folder called "test" on my internal SD. I also tried the code in the advanced parameters of an existing picture I had on my widget, and it didn't do anything either.
HA! Figured it out. What a dummy I am. You have to put the b tags first
[*b]/sdcard/full path to image folder/$#Dm#>0?((int((random())*10)))$.jpg[/b]
(without the asterisk I couldn't get it to show since it's the same code for "Bold" on the forum)

If you have pictures 1-10 and you use random times 10, wouldn't the only picture that would get displayed be picture 10 (which is when random equals 1, times 10).
Or is the value for ((int((random())*10))) actually limiting the random numbers to be 1-10?

I actually have 66 pictures and the number increases everyday, since they're pictures of my boyfriend and he's constantly sending me new ones... or we're taking new ones etc. LOL I just change the number it multiplies by as the pictures increase.
I'm not sure if number one gets displayed... I could however rename picture one to 67 so there's never a problem. Since there's so many its hard to tell.

You should be able to do this with tasker/zooper integration. I have a weather radar image that I download via tasker. Due to how zooper buffers images I haev to change the filename each time I refresh the image. The new alternating path to the image is passed from tasker to zooper. First time is w1.jpg, next time is w2.jpg. This idea could be extended for images in a folder.
I am making a spin-off of infobar, and I have it mostly working the want I want with two exceptions:
1) The weather string is usually fine, but in some cases it gets too large. Is there any way to get it to wrap to a specific bounding rectangle, or to shrink it if it gets past a certain length? Is there some way to test how long the string is? I don't want to use [tr], because I want to see the whole string.
2) Right now I am using [tr=0,25] to make sure the appointments don't overrun the box. I use [tr=0,25] instead of [tr=25] because I don't want the "..." for shorter strings. Is there some way to test the length of the string so I can only use the [tr] when I need to? That way I can get the "..." when it is appropriate. I tried using
$[tr=0,22]#C0TITLE#[tr]=#C0TITLE#?#C0TITLE#: [tr=22]#C0TITLE#[/tr]$
but the [tr=0,22]#C0TITLE#[tr]=#C0TITLE# always comes back as not equal.
Thanks.

There is currently no way to test the length of a string in Zooper, sorry. As to the "wrap to a specific bounding rectangle", check out the X margin and Lines on a Rich Text Module The first defines the distance in pixels from the screen side when the text will break into additional lines. The second option sets into how many lines the text will break at maximum. Anything above that will be cut-off without an indicator like you get with the trim option. It's not exactly what you are looking for but I thought you might want another option to work with
Hi
Is there any way to get the weather conditions to split each word onto multiple lines?
eg. "Partly Cloudy" to display as
Partly
Cloudy
I'm trying to get the text to display on a specific image that is in my background bitmap.
Any help is much appreciated.
Are you using Rich Text or regular?
Rich text give you the option. One of the guru's here might have a different idea.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I'm trying to use regular text, as I'm setting a rotation, which I don't think Rich Text can handle.
I've tried a few different things to get the text to split across multiple lines without any success, so thought I'd see how to do it using the rich text.
It's got me completely befuddled.
Could someone point me in the right direction as to how I might achieve the text split?
Also, I've seen a number of widgets with custom icons in them. How do you embed icons from an icon pack in a widget; if at all possible. I may be mistaking the widget creation for something to do with a theme creation.
Any help is appreciated.

If you are cannot use rich text that limits you severely, and I'm not sure it is possible with Zooper alone. You can use tasker to do this, however. this will require some research on your part, but you can do an HTTP Get action in tasker to retrieve the weather condition for your location, and then perform a variable split to produce two variables, one for the first word of the weather condition, and a second variable for the second word. You would then send these to Zooper using the #T...# format.
So it is possible if you cannot use Rich Text objects in Zooper, it just requires more work on that back end.
For me I can only get Rich Text to wrap onto multiple lines if it is near the edge of the screen.
Use rich text. Set two lines and keep on increasing x-margin till it shows as two lines. For example to get two lines to show on my widget my margin number is 520. Text on different areas of the screen requires different x-margin.
I am trying a new weather widget that provides weather conditions in text form. Occasionally the text it too long to fit on one line so I need to be able to force a line break in the incoming text. How do I do that?
Thanks in advance.

I don't know at wich letter you want the line break so my example is after the fourth letter.
On the first line the first four letters will be shown and on the second line (cropped) from the fifth to the twentieth letter.
You need some empty spaces (and calculate them yourself as after which letter you want the line break) in the second line because otherwise Zooper will show the text if it becomes the same or smaller as the crop start point.

Very crafty. And yes line breaks seem only to be avaialable in Rich Text, and to truncate/substring is good to shorten a line (and sometimes it adds the dots "...") but, both together is a cool way to do it!

Thanks for the help. I wasn't able to use the solution however, because the length of the text that I want on the 1st line is always variable. The second portion of the text comes from a different feed, so I just decided to make a different field and put that field below the 1st. But your suggestion did come in handy on a different portion of the widget. I will keep your suggestion in my stash of Zooper tricks.
Thanks again,
