Two questions:
1 ) Any way to get the old battery graph back? I hate the new one because it stretches the timeline with projected battery life and that hides information on usage/screen on etc.
2) The default web browser has two undeletable bookmarks at the top. Any way to delete them, edit some file?
Thanks!

Hi.
I was looking for a widget that displays your bookmarks as thumbnails right on the screen. Found two - Live Bookmarks and Visual Bookmarks.
The first does it's job alright - it updates bookmarks as I change them, though it doesn't display them right on screen - first you have to click on the icon.
The second, however it looks just as it shuold, does a crappy job when it comes to settings. It doesn't refresh my b-marks properly, and settings doesn't really work the way I set them to be.
Do you happen to know any other app that might do the job I need done?
Or maybe you could make one?

This is assuming you have stock android, launcher pro, ADW, Go launcher, how many home screens do you have?
i used to have 7, but started to condense them down to 5. now i think im dropping to 3.
my homescreen (middle one of the 5) is pretty much just an open screen with 2 circle launcher widgets with most commonly used apps.
go one to the right, and its a calendar widget, GV inbox widget, and 3 gmail shortcuts, direct to the inbox of each email address
one more to the right and its all settings shortcuts and commonly used utilities such as root explorer, hot reboot, ATK, rom manager, and mobile signal widget pro widget.
from middle, one to the left is bookmark shortcuts in a folder, a internet traffic app, and an MLB.com app widget.
one more left and its media related stuff like music widget, dsp manager, volume ace widget, voice recorder gallery and directv app.
im thinking i can really just downgrade it to 3 and use folders.
how do you rock your G2 hoescreens?
I only use 3 homescreens. It's quite simple, although I wasn't going for the minimalistic look.
My middle screen has a make your own clock widget, minimalistic text widget with battery percentage and a shortcut to astrid.
Left screen just has an elixir widget with my signal percentages, ram, cpu usage and SD card, etc and a springpad folder of shopping lists.
Right screen is just one big pure agenda widget. I use launcherpro to limit my screens, I've two docks. Main one is just market, gmail (swipe to email), contacts, handcent (swipe to text a certain person) and dolphin browser. Second dock, however, is folders from folder organizer. I have a games folder, internet folder, misc folder (swipe to app list), multimedia folder and tools folder
I use 3 home screens, 2 mostly filled with my most frequently used apps. On the 3rd one I have the power control, starred contacts folder, and the widget for taskiller.
2 screens
i have 2, main screen on image below, other screen is full screen launcher pro facebook, don't need anything else, with CM7 stable and running at 1Ghz the phone is lightning fast
This could be done in the "Post your Home Screen!" thread.
In the past we have shared a lot of articles, about how to increase performance of Android devices, enhance it’s battery life, remove bloats from it etc. But not all the time the tutorial is about battery life or accessing things easily, sometimes it is about something that is not much of importance and many don’t even know how it works, but it is noticeable and something really new. You have been used Emoji in messages and I believe only messages, but this time we will show you how to add them in something that is in front of your eyes all the times.
Android 4.4 Kit-Kat has brought a lot of new things in Android OS and one of them is that you can add Emoji in the Home-Screen Folders or any folder at all and it is quite neat. So, without further ado, let’s find out how.
nexusae0_11_thumb
Add Emoji In HomeScreen Folders
nexusae0_22_thumb
Create a Folder.
Once created open it and Tap its name.
On the Google Keyboard, Long press the ‘Done’ button to switch to emoji.
If you are using any other Keyboard, then Emoji button might be different.
The only problem you will see is a Weird Rendering Quirk when you close the Folder and a Few dark lines behind the emoji, which is unnoticeable.
This works best on Android 4.4 Kit-Kat, on Android 4.3 you might have some luck, do try it.
All,
I've been spending a bunch of time trying to get my icons to match Yahoo (using yahoo for my data as well). Ultimately I want my widget to open yahoo weather with certain clicks and I just want everything to be cohesive in look.
So far, I was able to extract all the icons from the yahoo weather apk, and i generally have them working. However, I've noticed that Yahoo actually has many more than 16 weather types. This seems to be causing me all sorts of inconsistencies in terms of what is shown on my widget versus what is shown in the app, specifically in future forecasts for the days ahead. For example, the app shows the next 6 days as scattered thunderstorms (its florida after all). But, my widget is showing them all as full thunderstorms (different icon than the app). I can somewhat "fix" this by mapping them to scattered, but that would just break the ones who truly should be mapped to thunderstorms.
The other problem I'm having is that the future days (once its past sunset) are all changing to nightime icons instead of being locked to day versions (as it is in the app).
Anyone have experience in trying to get everything consistent? Whats the best way to address it? And, is it possible to map the full list of Yahoo data instead of just 16? Perhaps I just screwed something up in my config file when i tried it? The yahoo developer page has a list of all of them, though I have no way to tell if that's actually 100% up to date either? Looks like it was posted in 2011. How can I make the day/night versions ONLY apply to my current weather, and not future? Maybe build 2 different sets of the same icons and exclude night? Seems like a lot of work, so wondering if anyone has tackled something similar.
Thanks,
Also, i assume somewhere zooper is taking the 48 Yahoo weather conditions and mapping that down to just 16? Where / how is that done?

You will not be able to match Yahoo's weather states exactly with Zooper. As you already figured out, Zooper only knows 16 weather states, which is done to unify the states from different weather data providers to a single interface. The external states are mapped internally to these internal ones and this process can not be influenced from the user side.
As to your second question about the day/night icons: download my weather icon set here and check the included XML. It's configured to only show day/night icons for the current weather option and not the forecast variants. You should be able to transfer this to your set quite easily
Thanks!
Interesting. I didn't know zooper converted the 48 yahoo weathers to 16. What are those 16? I'm trying to do something similar to the OP but with bitmaps.

To answer my own question, and assuming this link is up to date, the 16 weather conditions of zooper are here: http://www.zooper.org/wp/archives/1155

I am facing the same problem regarding day/night icons. I downloaded your config.xml and tried to modify my existing xml based on the info in your xml, but it seems I'm doing something wrong because when I open Zooper on my phone the app is not recognizing the modified xml.
I am attaching the icon set (including the original xml) without any modification. I would appreciate if you let me know exactly what to modify in the xml.
Thanks

I rather prefere if you upload your edited version so I can check it for errors and tell you what you did wrong. That way you know what to do when the next icon pack comes around

Here's the modified xml.
Just curious if anyone uses the multitasking/multi window option, especially now in OneUI 4.1.1 / a12L. If so, which apps do you use together?
I must admit, excited as I was to use this when I first got the phone (and the updated version with the taskbar in the latest update) I keep forgetting to use it.
Most frequently I use email w/ contacts, email w/ calendar. In both cases I am visually transferring data or cutting and pasting. Sometimes it's a web page with contacts or calendar.
I use it occasionally, more often using the pop-up feature for the calculator and sometimes other apps like Chrome or Notes, but I've been using pop-up for years. The most recent time I used the multi-screen was two fold: Samsung Browser and Notes to make a list of good berm plants, bushes, and trees from a Web site that lists them after looking up what they each look like; and Samsung Browser, a photo app, and a share screen for saving some idea pics off the Pinterest site (not app) which you can only do by dragging the pic to the multi-screen and open it in a photo app to save it from there.
