Changing preset looks? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I've heard that you can change the preset screen looks of the GSIII, like having the options "Dynamic", "Neutral", "Standard", "Movie", etc. But I can't find the options under Display. How do I change it?

Bump... i'm looking for the same thing.

Aw that's a real bummer. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't include that feature.

[Q] RenderFX for GB BAMF RC2?

Any possible way to get the Render FX or screen tinting feature into BAMF? I found the source code but I have no idea how to utilize it. Any possible way this could be made into an apk?
I would love to be able to utilize this in the dark to read texts and not light up my face so much. Or maybe someone has created an app that does this. I did a lot of searching and no luck though
i think i remember seeing this way back when on an ultimate Droid ROm on my D1. it was weird.
but it sounds like screen filter may work for you if you just dont want the white background to burn your eyes out at night. you can make it as bright or as dark as you like. its really a great app. i use it every night. it wont give you color shades, but it does a great job of cutting down on the light output to where it is comfortable to read at night.
There's an app for that... Lol

[REQUEST] Blurred Backgrounds

Can this be done for our phone? And if so, can one of you smart developers/themers create a flashable zip for this. This would look awesome.

I believe ADW launcher has a setting for that. And I think certain roms do as well.

I have the paid version of ADW and have never seen that option. Im pretty sure I have looked through all the ADW options. But Im kind of looking for a universal option which a launcher probably wont do. I Have tried most of the ROMS available. Right now I am using Eclipse. It doesnt do it.
Hmm. You've had this on other phones? If so which ones? I'd like to take a look at how they do it and maybe figure out a way to get our phone to do the same. I read the article briefly and it seems that in order for it to be universal it may require a lot of typing.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
From reading the article, unless I'm misunderstanding, it looks to me like it has to be coded into the app. I've got at least one app that does this now. Might be more but I've never paid attention until now. Quick Settings will do this if you have it set to dialog mode. It doesn't blur but it does dim the screen. But that function (blurring) too would appear to be something coded into the app.
Yes this particular article is regarding writing an actual app, its not a function on any launcher. I don't know of a launcher setting to do this universally, there are some options if you crack open a theme or rom and start playing with xml files but thats about it.
I have not had this on other phones. But I've seen it before. Check out this video and look at the 30 second mark:

Thats what I thought it might be. the xml files. But Im not a developer. I wouldnt know where to look or what to change.
Ya doing that would be a big rewrite as far as xml's go...the effect is cool and i wish it was easy to implement universally but as far as i know its not easy...i looked into it a while back.
This seems like a cool effect but the amount of work for the payoff is just not worth it.. especially if its an app by app basis.. I looked at the link quick.. will executing this do this to all apps or is it app by app basis.. if it does the effect to all apps I would look into this further

Just saying again, I'm no developer. But even if that link I posted is just refering to designing an app, I would think there's a place to put this in the system ui files. I know that when I power down my phone, it blurs the background when it's saying "powering down the device" or something like that. But that's the only time it does it. Also, I would think anywhere it has the dimming code, which happens when a dialog box comes up like when you long press the home screen to add a widget. Can't you add or modify the code that does that?

Well the trick would be to find a Rom that does that effect then copy the code from there...If anyone finds a rom with that effect, let me know i can try to find the code, i would love this effect but i just don't have time right now to do the research...maybe this weekend.

In the third post, there is a mod for advanced power menu. Im not sure if the blurred background is part of this mod or the Desire HD ROM.

Well that Link above the rom package contains just the android.policy.jar file in it so maybe thats where the setting is. I decompiled and looked through it but i couldn't find anything pointing towards blurring the background, maybe someone else that has a little more experience than me wanna give it a crack. Sorry i couldn't help, i will keep my eyes open for this effect and post if i find anything.

Pull down Notification Menu

Hi guys
Question: Does anyone know of an app, that can also give us Android users the kind of functionality on the Iphone 5 pull down? (See Screenshot)
I would like to see my mails listed, maybe the first 2 or so, with sms, weather etc?
I have looked, maybe this is a nice dev opp?
There are apps you use to get like this, but one single app, i think we still dont have...

yeah, sorry. I saw that. Perhaps should have mentioned it.
I'm on stock 2.3.4. and it said it wouldn't work.
so thanks for re-using the search function for me.
Don't get me wrong but the notification/widget implementation on iOS is not pretty efficient in my opinion.
I'd hate to be constantly pulling down just so see what's up with the weather or whatever.
I rather have my widgets on the unlock screen or desktop as Android does.
Cheers!

ssLauncher

Don't have a market link for it, but this is by far the most unique launcher I ever used. Its styled after magazines and you can change just about everything. It even has page turning transition effects. A go launcher replacement in my opinion. Go check it out Lord willing

gave it a shot. I like the concept -- but its not for me.
very fast and smooth on my CM7 atrix though.
Definitely interesting.
After emailing the dev, found its closed source though. Personally not fond of using an app with so many permissions without access to source (same story with GO apps)
ADW is still for me, but thanks for sharing.

I came across after a post somewhere here, and it is a ripper. It gives massively more customisation than anything I've seen to date. Effectively you can even set things almost to the pixel, and set every attribute of it. I say things, because you can add may things.
Now that I have freed myself from app launching woes in each launcher by using a combination of WaveLauncher and FolderOrganizer, I can swap launchers at will. I no longer need to mess with app groups in each one, and can customise widgets alone. This one will be one of my all-time faves, I can tell.
I look forward to it progressing. I already have a few suggestions!
I haven't tried this launcher yet, but I also have use both wave/folders together. I find it much more efficient Anne completely frees up my screens.

Can Iseeyou be a good replacer of SmartStay for AOSP ROM?

Hi,
I'm thinking about to come back to an AOSP ROM but I need SmartStay features...can the new app ISeeYou be a good replacement on AOSP ROM? Anyone is using it (PRO version) on aosp? thanks
I know this might sound stupid but have you thought about just creating a widget to lock screen on instead, seems a much better use of battery resources imho, but then I have a real thing about all of Samsungs novelty apps,, so I am biased! Who can watch a video and do other things at the same time?! But hey, that's just me!

No no, I agree with you for the video features but during work it's very usefull for me to use smartstay features...Otherwise, I never thought about this solution, I'm thinking about of setting screen timeout on 5m and even creating a widget to lock screen, is it your way?

Yeah, I just use widgetsoid from the market, what it does is lock screen up to the max timeout, 1hr? So even if you forget to turn off I think it will turn off after 1 hour, and it works even in the dark, .......Samsung

I just installed this on my S3 running CM 10.
It does not work at all. It actually makes it so the screen never turns off.
I'm also using Widget Locker which also has a screen timeout function, and I've tried it with that disabled and enabled.
For reading long articles and playing WordsWith Friends, I would love to gain this feature back.
Any help or tips would be preferred.
