What does the far left icon actually do?? - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi
Can anyone tell me what the icon on the far left of the PZP Today screen?
When I tap on it it seems to change between 4/5 different icons but does not actually do anything?
I would REALLY like an extra icon for 'Meetings' all the other icons are in use and one I could tap as I go into meetings would be really useful?
Regards.
Robin
PS Using beta 5.2 and going to buy today as I don't want this very useful software to expire. ) I hope 5.2 is released today?

Have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6162

My understanding is that it is only active in the payable version and it allows the application to change mode automatically at given time.

spb plus lets you toggle large icons or no large icons for 1 item by tap and hold on a particular icon or tap and hold and telling it no large icons for any item. i do it per item as i do like a few items to be large especially meters and backlight controls.
another thing you might want to look at is lakeridge software wisebar and wisebar desktop that way you can create your own desktop theme look and feel. althugh there are TONS of free qvga and vga themes to download if you search their forums and a few good google searches, nothing beats making the graphics and layout yourself as then if it is wrong ten thenb only one at fault is the creator =)
ok
Thanks

[Q] Capabilities of the Xperia x10i

i've searched the threads and have not really found a direct answer to what I was searching for.. thus created this
curious to know.. is the xperia x10i capable of achieving any of the following (or will be in the future)
a) instead of the arc scroll for unlocking.. something similar to the iphone (slide)
b) password input (num pad) instead of the draw pattern
c) I know the image size for the wallpaper has to be (appx) 900 x 600 for it to fit properly in the background.. but any chances of having an image which is LOCKED on each page and when you scroll to another page.. it doesnt change?
d) having a different wallpaper for when the phone is locked versus home screen
e) changing background of sms screen? inserting image & changing the font bubble for the sender and receiver of text messages
f) double click functions (similar to iphone) where a double click can perform certain tasks such as opening a smaller window of music and changing songs
-- this would also apply to when the phone is locked (once again.. like the iphone)
that's all I could think of for now haha.. cheers

You can do that with a decent launcher.

Handcent.
You should move on (emotionally).. and embrace the differences.. it's what makes the x10 an X10, and not an iphone... plus.. you'll find when you dig around on the market and search this forum, you'll find that as it's android you can customise it beyond your wildest dreams!! Especially compared to the limited changes you could make on the iphone.

to tell you the truth.. i'm loving it! (mcdonalds)
i'm comparing it to my old 8gb 3G iphone and the x10i blows it away.. the speed, the graphics and most importantly.. I GET RECEPTION EVERYWHERE.. impressive.
..and i'm curious to know what kind of customizations you are referring to.. because my dreams are pretty wild

I installed GOTO and a question regarding that.. on the lock screen.. it shows (default) text messages, call log and gmail.. can I customize those icons.. as in.. instead of what is presently there.. put text, dialer & music?
& is there any customized 'dailer' that you would recommend? default is pretty.. default lol
& ADW launcher decent? currently using that
I don't use GOTO so can't help with that, but I do use ADW and wouldn't use anything else, but I'm going to give Launcher Pro a whirl when we get the update.
Try SuperDial by Episode6 (off the market).. it's really good.
ADW is highly customisable - it will take you a while to uncover all it's wonders!.. first thing you need to do when you download it is go into the settings and switch off the "horizontal drawer" feature in the "Drawer settings" menu - doesn't work very well.. but the rest of it is really then down to you... and your wild imagination!!!
If you want to Root you can do even more, but I'm not that fussed about it personally (and I don't have that much spare time on my hands!)...
I downloaded DesktopVisualiser too (had to google that, couldn't find it on the market for some reason).. but that allows you to create your own icon (on your image editing software on your PC) and then assign an app shortcut to them - I created 4 red buttons for my actions buttons - at the bottom of ADW screen - for my 4 main acitvities - Call, Text, Email, Internet.. but you can also use photo's too..
Have fun!
oh.. and check this thread out... there's tonnes of ideas in here.. a lot of it is on rooted phones, but much of it can still be done on a non-rooted handset...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713391
you weren't kidding about superdial.. nice!
i've already rooted the xperia & used titaniumbackup to back everything up.. I guess the more I look into it the more I would be able to customize it (i'm on the same boat.. no time)
is there another software which I could use other than DesktopVisualiser to customize the icons? do you have a guide on how to do it with desktopvisualiser?
yeah that thread is nice but going through 124 pages might take a while
i'll put up some pics of my phone when I get a chance.. is shootme currently the best software to take phone snapshots or is there something better?

Date in Tray works great

Just found this awesome app to put the date on the notification bar.
It's called Date In Tray
I could not find it on slideme....you haveto get it on the android market and move it over. I don't have the xrigts to attach a file from my computer or I would.
Nice little app.. You have to select the lower right of the screen for the date to pop up. (notifications area is blank without any items listed).

In the Apps settings, you can change the icon color from Black (default) to White. That's why you aren't seeing it in the Notification Area.
Hi,
Glad you guys like our app (BTW: new version was released today and shall be now available from Market). If you got any sugestions or requests or maybe bug reports, feel free to speak here. I'd also warmly welcome people willing to help translate it to additional languages
nice app until it stopped working, stuck on: service disabled you have to upgrade...

[Q] Has anyone developed a user manual?

Hi All,
First off, I LOVE themer! I've been using Apex Launcher for some time on my HTC OneX (rooted, ARHD 31.3 ROM) and I've often gazed with longing at the home screens that some people have designed using UCCW, knowing that I'll necer have the time (or the artistic flair) to design my own. Now I can!
But there seems to be SO many customization options on Themer, and I'm a little overwhelmed. For instance, I'm using a theme with an RSS feed as a central tile, but I'd love to be able to change that to a 'favourite apps' tile. I'm sure the option is there, but I can't work it out. So, has anyone developed/is working on/knows of a Themer user guide?
I work on a cruise ship and internet access is slow and expensive (£10 for 167 minutes!) so I really don't have time to surf around looking for answers to design questions.
SO, does such a guide exist? If so, please point me in the right direction. If not, is anyone up to the challenge?:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
The video is kind of like a user guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474039

Thanks miles_muso for your kind words! Yes the video vhngu930 provided is a good one, but for your problem I can help here. See the thing is that you'd first have to delete that RSS icon and then hold down on the homescreen > Themer Actions > Favorite Apps. Now you'll have a massive heart (we're working on adding icon packs soon), which you'll be able to edit. If you hold down on the icon > edit > tap the icon, you'll be able to replace it with an icon image. You can maybe try here for icon images which may help, they by Jeppe Foldager and the small whites and darks should help for now: https://www.copy.com/s/DxsaXLatvBGf/Share/Icons
Hope this helps!

Question to developers

Hello everyone!
I want to know if it's posible to make the stock Launcher slide down from any part of the Desktop and open the notification panel instead of the hisearch bar.
I know this is possible using third part launchers and i had been using nova Launcher for the last 5-6 years, but i like the stock look on emui so im interested on that and thats the reason i ask the developers because i think it cannot be something so hard to do but very useful. I don't know how Huawei did not thought about that...
Up for subscribing to your thread so i will know when a developer that has a Huawei device and is mooding EMUI 10 apps ? will answer your question ?
PS. ATM i can say that i don't know any, but who knows, maybe there are some @ here, using the phone as is, because for this device (and all released after this one) there is no bootloader unlocking codes / root...
Sent from my VOG-L29 using XDA Labs
Yo,
I have a little trick with an app called VividNG.
I have assigned to the top right side of my screen a zone where I can pull down to open the notification panel.
After doing this you will be able to open the notification panel this way in every app. Just use your thumb.
It's not as easy as swiping from anywhere on the screen but it's better than nothing at all and having to reach the top of the screen everytime.
Hope that it will help someone !
