If you could add and/or change something to Tablets - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What would it be? (SOFTWARE, WISE)
I need to collect ideas for my next project.
Feel free to suggest things big or small.
Right now I have these:
More mini-app support
Lock screen widget/shortcuts
I would love to hear any input you have, or even expand on what I have right now.
Thank you, in advance!

That is actually something that I have been thinking about. I find that it would be really useful, especially in landscape mode.
Thank you for suggesting this!

Questions should be posted in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

Cornerstone does this, its open source and can be integrated into any ICS ROM, possibly JB too.

[Q] Any issues in my remove list

I've looked through numerous threads, but the opinions are pretty mixed.
Does anyone predict issues with removing any of these apps?
I will not be using Sense.
I'm making a flashable zip to remove these so I don't need to manually do it every time I flash a new ROM.

Yeah, I know. Kind of expecting that.
But, I have used search, I have frozen them (had other errors from nightly, so hard to narrow down), but I just want to see if anyone else has had problems before I write the rest of the script.

He means that it should have been in the Q&A section, not the dev section. So now that we have that clear, if you're not using a sense rom, those things shouldn't be in there in the first place. If you are using a sense based rom, removing anything that says htc in it could cause problems.

Dammit, too many xda tabs. Can I get a mod to move it for me?
Eh, wrong section, but by now, you already know that. Try to post in the right section next time.
Anyways, you'll be fine with that list, just be advised that if you remove the lockscreens and their idlebases, you'll lose Incoming Caller ID. You'll need to unlock before answering each time.
Also, if you're going to debloat, you might as well remove Burgandy and Blue Sky, as well as the Streak Wallpaper and the Live Weather Wallpaper. Both are ultimately useless, the streak wallpaper isn't exactly dramatic, and the weather live wallpaper (2 apks) are also useless and all you have to do is look at the weather app to see them. Those two apks combined are massive in comparison to the rest.
Might as well add "MyReportAgent.apk" to the mix.
Thanks....

Good to know.....thank you much. There's a lot of stuff on that list that I was hesitant to remove not knowing if there would be hiccups later.

[REQ] Remove the brightness control slider in XXBLG8

Could anyone, please, come up with a mod to remove the brightness control slider from the notification panel in XXBLG8?
A lot of people don't need this slider and it occupies a lot of space in the panel.
Would be awesome if someone made a mod to remove the slider.

It would be awesome if you could just,you know,keep your thoughts about awesome to yourself,shut up and let us live in harmony...Yeah,that kind of stuff would be awesome.
Why in the hell would anyone want to remove one of the most useful things Sammy has done to their ROMs?I wonder...
Anyway,that's not the only problem as some may,curiously,disagree with me.You shouldn't have posted here.Unless you already have a way of removing it and you're hiding it just to tease us.In which case,well,it'd be lame,but better than posting a request like that in the themes section.That would,maybe,suit General or Q&A.Again,maybe...
Agree it may better suit general.
Also agree that it takes up space. Display brightness app is better for me, invisible over.my status bar. Easier to get to than the slider.
The above post is a bit out of order

You can always reflash the rom, wipe cache/dalvik cache and format system and flash the rom. You will not loose data/apps that way.

Wouldn't it be awesome if you didn't have to worry about tools with no life whose whole world revolves around their presence on XDA, talking smack and criticizing others' posts seeking input and information, all the while purporting this "I'm a diety that knows everything about android code and you're just a noob" bullsh*t attitude?
It's pathetic. It's like, every time you wanna post something looking for info, you have to add all these BS qualifiers as well. "Ok...so I wanna ask this, but first, yes...I searched other posts, yes...I checked out the FAQ, no...I'm not a noob, yes...I know how to flash, etc, etc, etc" just so you don't get some smart-ass comment from tool like this dude. All these nerds with no lives that act so arrogant online cuz they can get away with it, when they would run at first sight of a fist, if they tried this sh*t out in the real world.
It really is pathetic, and does a dis-service to the XDA forums.
And for the record, the brightness slider is moronic. It is the stupidest add to JB, and even more idiotic that they rolled it out with zero setting options to enable/disable it.

[Q] Swype Beta Dictionary?

Hey guys
I downloaded the new Swype Beta and they seemed to have taken out the option to manually add words to the dictionary...
Is there any way to do this? I can't seem to find anyway to do it.
Thanks,
Elliott

such a shamefull act from ur part ma8 being a senior member on XDA u should 'Lead By Example' in fallowing the rules, not bumping ur post like this.
better add some more usefull info to ur OP so that members can do the needfull
No hardfeelings though
Thanks but I don't believe I broke any rules?...
The rule states:
"16. Bumping Threads (posting simply to force a thread to the top of the thread queue)
Do not "bump" a thread more than once per 24 hours."
I bumped >24 hours on each... Give or take one time that was 2 hours off...big deal.

You could have as well bumped your own thread into 300 replies.

You're right..but I would have given up long before then...
I guess it's Swype Beta v1.1.1.7628
Actually nevermind. I found it on the Swype forums (didn`t even know those existed)
You can still use the manual add method: just tap the word you want to add and press the Swype key. You'll see the "Add [word] to dictionary" prompt appear. Just tap that prompt, and BOOM! Word is now in your Personal Dictionary.

Not always, if it has special characters -it won't give you the option of saving the word. E.g: I removed .com from the default dictionary by accident, tried to put it back in and I can't.
Also I always use the " - " dash in text messages etc, it used to have a shortcut going from space, to the - key and back. But that's been removed.
If there's any way to edit this stuff, I'd be stoked.

Yes, but it is a bit annoying. Basically, select the word you want to add, then hit the Swype key. However, to add a word you have to have the keyboard open...
I find the best way is to email myself a list of words I want added, stuff with punctuation in it that you can't add normally etc., then open that email on your phone/tablet, and hit forward or reply so that the text you want to add is now editable and the Swype keyboard is open. Then, select the things you want to add (one at a time) and hit the Swype key on each one. It is annoying and slow, but does work.
if u just clear data and the uninstall then reinstall the dictionary starts working for some reason, at least lets u add ords

A feature I'd like to see on home screens

There are a few themes now on themer that do a lot of clicking to go screen to screen but scrolling is still possible to go to the screens, so I would like to see an option now to disable scrolling for the home screens to make this more effective.
Unless it is already on the app then can someone show me how to do it?

Sent an email to the developers again to see how easy it will be to implement. Features like this sound easy to implement, but in reality it might take a week straight to get right, and in that time the developers could be fixing a ton of bugs and adding in performance improvements. We'll keep you informed though!

[MOD][Xposed] Statusbar Scroll to Top

Requires Xposed Framework!
This module allows you to tap the status bar to scroll (smoothly, at least that's what the API says) to the top of lists.
This isn't compatible with all lists in this first version. Chrome for example isn't compatible, or some manufacturer lists (like the Contacts app in TouchWiz).
If this is patented by a fruit-based company, it'll most likely get a C&D, so keep that in mind when you look forward to updates
Demo:
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6-sOWhwY0g
Video as GIF, FWIW, http://i.imgur.com/vNBTbQs.gif
Known bugs:
Manufacturer specific lists and some other custom scrollers (e.g Chrome) aren't supported yet.
Compatibility:
4.0 - 4.4 probably, I really haven't checked the source code, tested on Sony's 4.3.
Source:
The mod is open source: https://github.com/MohammadAG/Xposed-StatusBar-Scroll-To-Top
You may NOT distribute this app on the Play Store, paid or free.
Download:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mohammadag.statusbarscrolltotop

It's Apple's not mine
That's stock behavior on iOS.
A bit far fetched, but do you believe it would be possible to add support for more than the standard list? Such as webview?
Since it seems a lot of apps are actually just frontends for a page in webview, plus a lot of browsers using webview, I imagine this could be the next target of your thinkering and would cover most cases. It would be great to be able to scroll to top in a browser too.

nicely done, works flawlessly... i have few suggestions/comments
-having little issues with facebook app, it kinda works: moves up by a little but not all the way to the top.
-if possible, allow user to choose the scroll speed when status bar is tapped on? to me, it is kind of slow sometimes... just my opinion
anyway, really appreciate your works for xperia devices. :highfive:

Facebook switched me to the new version, and it works fine there, I guess you'll have to wait for the update that includes that, or Facebook downgrades my account
Second part is controlled by the system, I use a method called smoothScrollTo(0, 0). I'm not sure if that can be easily changed

If you get it magically working with Chrome chances are you'll make it work for a lot of other apps. So that's sweet. :laugh:

Seems like it causes certain apps to force close. Tapatalk for example, if I go in a topic then back by pressing the back key to my followed topics then press the status bar it will force close. What do you need from me to help diagnose this?
Edit: it does scroll to the top before closing though.
Edit 2: doesn't crash anymore, found out it's because of a broken pvr driver. Ignore this haha
What theme are you using? Is it a CM theme or something I can do with Xposed?
Really awesome module too! Saw it on reddit
Great module, thanks!
