Hi.
When having the device set to normal font size, and chrome to 100% text scaling, browsing xda forums looks just fine. But, when starting to change those variables, it starts to look bad.
How? Long web links goes outside the frame it starts in. This make the rest of the content squeezed in a smaller frame then it should.
Only web links? Yes, the default text inherits the new font size and text scale fine, and the forum framework adapts to it. So, as long as there are no long web link it looks fine.
C'mon show us in screenshots! Ok, here on the first one font size and scale are set to normal and 100%:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ok, that looked fine. But now I will change the device font size to large and chrome text scale to 120%. And this is how it looks:
See how the main frame gets squeezed because of that long web link.
Imagine a thread with a lot of text you want to read, and that one long web link screwing with the layout.
Thanks for reading,

I have a few backgrounds that I'd like to rotate with the same homescreen. Is there a way (scripting maybe?) to rotate the background? Even if it's once per day or something. tried looking for something that'd do this or a way to do it and so far have come up empty.
I found a program called ThemeChanger that will rotate a background, except I've noticed is that although the default background (as configured in the theme xml file) works flawlessly, if I go through Start>Settings>Background and select another background image that I created (using the same exact detentions) the backgound is positioned directly above the bottom mru plugin. Also, the background to the mru is white, which looks horrible. I've tried setting the bgcolor to black, but that didn't seem to work. Here's an example:
Homepage using "Default" in Start>Settings>Background, displaying the images configured in the xml file:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Homepage using alternate background image as set in Start>Settings>Background. Notice how the highlighted areas no longer match up with the information.. the image is positioned from the bottom, above the mru.
Yes, I have a thing for guys in ties.
Thanks!
bump. anyone?
WM6/Rogers fixed the issue. Yay.
been having this problem with the december 04 and december 7 builds of the NRG phoenix ROMs. the phone runs great, but after at some point after a reset the soft key menus change. i have finger menus turned off, but the stock menu goes from being regular sized to a small size. on top of that, many of the system settings seem to change as well. the size of emails in my inbox seems like they're zoomed out, not just the size of the font...but instead of viewing say 8 emails in my inbox per page, i'll view like 15. and when i load emails w/ pictures the pictures are much much smaller than usual. it basically looks like tons of things on the phone are zoomed out. anyone know what could be causing this?

You changed your theme to one with smaller items. Simply go to Start>Settings>Today and choose EnergyROM_Ver2, EnergyROM_TranspSoftkeys, or EnergyROM_Plus (but not EnergyROM_Original). The reason everything looks small is because you're using a theme made for pre-6.5.1/6.5.3 devices, instead of one of the 6.5.x themes with larger items, which most of the EnergyROM themes are.
oh yeah, that was it. thanx a lot. not sure why, but on the nov 19th version it didn't change this at all. even though its the same theme, or so i thought. either way, thanx
I was looking for this kind of application for over a week now for some Windows Mobile project and can't find any free stuff and one time I have read that they said that there's a lot of this kind of "free" converters spread around the internet.. but I can't barely find one.
Anyway, since I cannot find any free c onverters that can convert Animated GIF to BMP Image List/Image Sequence, I decided .. well, again.. made my own.
This tool is very straight forward. Just drag and drop any animated gif file and you can export it into image list/image sequence (whichever you call it) .. this can handle greater than 250 frames!
here's the main UI with a sample animated gif.
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and after the export, here's the BMP image list/image sequence.
Anyway, I resized the image to 640x47 but the original size was 2717x200 (247 x 11 frames = 2717).
If you think this might be useful for you then why not download it!

Just what I needed when I needed it. Thank you.
Thank you
Am not getting any notifications from XDA about what's happening on my threads. So if you guys having some problems on my apps and not getting any support from me. Am so sorry.
This post will server as a Wake Up Thread!
I found this app to change the icon on INOMAIL to the stock android mail icon.
It worked great for that and then I found out it could create icons/shortcuts just about any size.

How to enlarge icons
Thank you for the information. icon changer is a great app but I can see that there is no way to make bigger icons even though I;ve tried to change the pixels of the icon before inserting to Icon changer. You can make smaller but there is a limit on bigger icons.
Could you please explain how you made bigger icons than the default size with this app?
Thank you
Sorry looks like its been changed in the last update. The slider bar use to start in the middle, and use could go bigger or smaller. Now it starts at the end and you can only go smaller. Not sure why they changed this.

Hi,
We’re designing our first Android app.
It’s a game app, which works like this: the home screen (the one in the mockup) has the person’s avatar and options like settings. There are certain tasks in the activity screen. For example, “Help parents with cooking.” When this is done, you can check it off in the activity screen. The achievements screen has a history of all previous achievements, details, etc.
The mockup is attached.
My concern is about the bottom bar. I added the bottom bar, to be a constant on all screens, because it makes intuitive sense for navigation—you don’t have to navigate back to the home screen everytime you need to go from say, achievements to activity screen. I’ve read a lot of stuff that says this is bad practice for Android, and to use action bars instead. But this is a kids’ app, and I’d like to keep the icons big, bold, distinctive and also in line with the general feel of the app.
Is what I have in the pic even a bottom bar? How else should I do things?
From the app described i think you need first swith to a bit neutral color becouse of the avatar possibility i think , also revisionate a bit the layout becouse you say is a game becouse is game need to add a bit of details ,
so i ve done a proto of what i say
