im looking for a developer with some android background who could help to implement some changes regarding per app dpi as explained here.
what this will do is break free what many have come to call "tablet mode" but this time without blowing the phone to bits. we could have the best of both worlds: tablet UI, tablet apps (gapps, settings, youtube, everything tablet HD & related) and normal apps running in their default layouts. the problem is that google created a hole between tiny phones from 2005 and big tablets. all our phones fall in it. it makes no sense that a nexus for instance runs in 1-column layout, its ridiculous actually for such a huge screen. tablet mode, as it is right now, helps, but it forces non-tablet apps into tiny layouts.
now we've had some success with our manual mod and even some dev's jumped in to adapt their apps, nova for instance is now tablet mode ready. but we just need to dig further. without per app dpi this will only be interesting for a small audience. with the setting in check it will probablby blow over and re-define ICS as we know it.
i managed to compile cm9 and im learning how to deal with it but its so much. a simple grep for stuff takes like an hour because its gigabytes of code. it grows way over my head right now. i think i've found A. the position where the treshold for the tablet switch is implemented which could be lowered and B. how to implement individual DPI but there's stuff missing. anyone who's interested to help or lead us in this, please contact me.
ps. what we'll get will look like this:

}
with that setting it could be like that on all phones, not just high density ones like nexus.
thanks!

Hey everyone, kinda new here (although not so much to the world of smartphones and computers and all that jazz) and I'm looking for an app to provide a certain function.
I'll explain in words real quick what I'm looking for, and I posted some pics to make it easier.
I'd like an app that adds a softkey to the status bar, much like the home/back/menu buttons that I have in CM7 in the status bar (see img 1, and how it changes in img 2). I'd like to be able to click that soft button, and have a popup of some user-defined apps. I know that I can put icons on the home screen and just push the home button, but I really think this would be a cool app and would appreciate it if anyone could point me in the direction of an app like it or could make one (I do some minor java programming on BlackBerry, but nothing this complex and with my baby and internship I don't have time to figure out how to make this).
I'd definitely be willing to pay for this, so if any devs read this I'm not just looking for a freebee. Althoug, of course, free is always nice
Either way, loving the XDA forums, and need to get my post count up there so I can post in the technical threads lol.

What I imagine the softkey might look like once it's added:
One way the app popup might look:
I don;t care about the look that I made in those images as I do about the general idea.
Thanks in advance

i dont think thats probable from what i know about the android os.
Smart bar allows you to set 'favorite apps'. Good luck!
PS On appbrain it says that the latest version does not work well on froyo; I don't know about gingerbread (I have not used smart bar for a long time).
Thanks case-sensitive!
That's not exactly what I was looking for, but its good enough and will certainly do the trick

Just found out about IIDA Home Launcher after looking through the screenshots thread. Made a CWM zip to try it out, it's attached.
Original Thread
The original download was the entire system/app dump of the Xperia(i think). I cut it down to only the IIDA apks, nothing get over written so you can delete the files after installing if you decide to ditch it.
My first impressions, it's really cool. It's like WP7 Metro but the app drawer is just a downward scroll instead of an icon.
But we'll have to work on it a bit to make it work on the Atrix. Also we'll have to figure out how to add locations to the lists, right now it seems to be only Japanese cities. And the email tab doesn't work. Also, we'll probably want to silence the beep on touch, but that's probably as easy as replacing a sound file with silence.
Here's a few screens:

I used this launcher for a couple days just before CM7 was updated. It was fun finding pictures and "flare" but it was also kind of buggy. At one point the calendar just disappeared and when I reflashed I forgot how frustrating moving all of my apps from the bottom to their respective sections was. Moments later CM7 came out and I left it in the dust. But I'm back on Darkside now since I need Webtop. I'll definitely give it another go.

This is awesome, i cant wait.
the weather app(the one with japanese cities only) is a different game, it pulls the information from a 2 different websites one for area and one for prefecture, we do not use prefectures in America so im kinda scratching my head to see how we are going to make this app work , the twitcheck app does not deodex properly according to another member who tried and i can't seem to find the facebook check or the music tile for the launcher, the Launcher itself is more than stable and it can be used on a daily basis.
check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313247&page=10 there is a conversation between me and another member who is working on the same launcher too.
Hi everyone,
I just published (and updated) a new game called TimesTwo - it's based on the popular web game called 2048. 2048 unfortunately did not seem to work in the browser, so I decided to create a WP version. The premise is you have a 4x4 grid, and you can swipe in any direction to slide numbered tiles in that direction. If two tiles are the same number, they will combine to create a tile of twice that number, and you get points.

Once you start playing, it's easy to get the hang of it, but hard to master - I just made some tweaks based on feedback, and implemented an achievement system.
Please let me know if you have any feedback, and hope you guys enjoy! The game is free with no in app purchases, just ad supported.
Hi, your app look's really nice! But in my taste animation is kinda slow. At the start you don't need to think your moves yet so slow (slower than the original 2048 game) animation really kills my "game feeling".

Thanks mrdexal! The latest version (with achievements) should be a little faster - I understand what you're saying though. The problem is currently i count a "swipe" as when you finish the swipe motion with your finger and lift up. Eventually I'd like to get it so that the tiles start moving as you're swiping, so it's as quick as the original 2048. Thanks for the feedback!
A little hard but it;s very nice. Nice work.

I just switched from jailbroken iOS to Android (will root as soon as my Redmi Note 5 is unlocked) and so far I am really liking it. So many things which were a hassle even with a jailbroken iPhone just work out of the box with Android.
One little thing that has been annoying me though are the colourful top bars in some applications (they are called colorPrimary and colorPrimaryDark), I wish they were just grey or white. Is there any way (once I'm rooted) to batch override all apps to display them in a certain color or at least change the value on a per app basis?

I'm sure you will enjoy creating what we call a substratum theme , this is an overlay system working with root and it is really easy to make.
If you modify manually the colorPrimary and colorPrimaryDark for every app , you'll have want you want. I know , that's long , but if you love Android , making this theme will be super funny.
Here some link to start with theming :
• My tutorial on how to theme
• Riro's how to make a substratum theme
And then you can post your work on XDA but you should know some rules , here some links :
• Da Rules
• Shake the noob statue
• All about XDA
I hope you'll forget apple and welcome to XDA
