Change area of usability in LCD touch screen - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would it be possible to edit android source code lets say for the Galaxy S to only use a certain portion of the lcd screen. Say much like changing the resolution but creating it so only say 1 inch down would be usable. The rest inoperative.
Just curious if this is a hardware or software thing.

If you knew enough you could do it from either. Why?

[APP][28/10/09]l3v5y SpinTheBottle

I felt like trying some alpha blending OpenGLES, and wanted to see how much better things like this work on different devices...
So, you can now play SpinTheBottle on your windows phone!

You can change the bottle image by changing bottle.bmp in the install folder for any ARGB bitmap (it may have odd colours if it's in a different format), so long as it's a power of two by a power of two in pixels, e.g. 256x512.
It might be slightly juddery, and that might be my fault for having crap code... (it might be your device though!)
To exit, press and hold and then let go...
To do:
Custom backgrounds
works great!
How does it work? What are the controls?
how do you change the background? I saw in YouTube, they had a background set in this app

[Q] What is this, rendering issue?

Hi!
If you look at the posted image, there are areas with red pixels.
I get these at various places and I haven't found why it is happening.
It seems to be software related (opengl lib?), although I've gotten it on several roms.
If anybody knows please help me.
Thanks on beforehand!

I noticed it only appears after the tablet been used and the CPU gets a little warm.
Maybe time to contact Samsung?
If it's transient and temperature related, visible on different screens once it appears I'd think so. Seems like a defective panel perhaps.
If your tab is still under warranty (I'm guessing it is) I'd definitely take it to Samsung to have a look at.
The picture sure does not look like everything is alright ...
Have no idea what it could be though, as I've never seen something like that happen to a Gtab

[Q] Today Screen for Android?

Hi,
it looks like the homescreen's solely purpose is to draw beautiful icons since smartphones entered the massmarket.
Does anyone remember the Today Screen from the old Windows Mobile devices?
Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Every single piece of information in one place, without the need to click/enter/open anything. You were even able to read the last message/email directly from this screen.
I tried hard to achieve a screen like this using widgets, but these got title bars and spaces everywhere. In 2011 there was a project called SlideScreen which seems to have been pretty close to what i am thinking about, but it got abandoned.
Help me guys, how do i get something like this on android?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
cool!

Zenwatch 2 with different casebacks ?

It seems that there are two versions of the watch, one with screwed caseback and the other with pressure fitted caseback.
Given that the watch's battery can be replaced, I wonder if it's easy to open the caseback (the one without screws) ?
Thanks for any info.

I think the second one is only a render without screw holes. It also doesn't show switch for unconecting bracelet.
Look here http://www.dx.com/p/asus-zenwatch-2...-45-gunmetal-case-grey-852432423#.V-ilH58wjqA at the 5th and 6th photo. Someone just forgot about this
