Any cool DNA tricks to share? - HTC Droid DNA

so does anyone have any cool little DNA tricks that they found out? I just realized that you can pinch to zoom in the battery info graph built into sense now... so you can expand and see each hour or shorten it to get your full day view. pretty neat!

I just found out (most everyone probably already knows) that you can pinch the homescreen to show all of them.

Me neither. Neat feature.
I have to say that I really am enjoying this latest version of Sense. It's a LOT less intrusive than past versions, and doesnt seem to have any major impacts on battery life.
It's like they took out all the crappy nonsense no one liked, allowed android to shine through where its better, and kept only the useful features of Sense. I like it.

For apps with long lists of items like music or messaging, you can scroll through by letter or date by using two fingers at once.

On the call screen before making a call. Press menu and you can open a fullscreen keypad for dialing

I know most probably know this but:
Once you fill up all 5 screens you can attempt to add another app or widget and it will populate a new blank screen for you. Also if you pinch to zoom at one of the home screens, it will give you an option at the top to add a panel (screen).

Omg honeycomb lockscreen!!!!!

Look up ripple lock in the Android Market.
Here's a link for those interested. The ads in the free version are very intrusive judging by the reviews.

MIUI has a much better lock screen with that same concept. just go into theme manager, edit theme, lockscreen, and choose 5-way

Thanks, but I already knew about that one. The lockscreen I'm actually using right now in MIUI is similar to the one from Sense 3. It's great!

Goto lockscreen!!

I must say this is the best android lockscreen I have seen in a while. I have widget locker purchased but this one was a must buy.
I don't have a direct link to it but just go to the Android Market and search goto and you will find it

I used it for a while. I liked it but there isnt nearly as much customization as widget locker and its alil buggy. I also use a security pattern and it wont work with a security pattern or pin
Its not even fully functional -- when i press to disable volume buttons to prevent wake it doesnt work it still wake ...

This is by far the coolest lock screen. Unfortunately if its not fully functional then its useless. I hope Innoweb gets it 100%. Im all for buying apps but I hate it when devs charge $ for something that's not really finished and/or compatible.

eh, I like the HTC flashlight app better for its simplicity and three step brightness. I found the apk from either the sensation or the EVO 3d, it works but you have to tap above and to the left of the button by about an inch. I don't know why that is but otherwise works fine.
its bc they are different screen resolutions i think
It's a sense 2.1 app, not completely compatable with 3.5.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
Tesla has various options for different brightness and even strobe/etc.
I personally like this one.

I like that one too. And this one just as much:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.socialnmobile.hd.flashlight&feature=search_result
I like Tiny Flashlight because it has two screen lights, one white and one you can color how you like. But I like Color Flashlight HD because you can dim it but there's only one screen light so you have to change the color if you want it different. Although since it can be dimmed I might not care about color. I just want something low light that I can use to help me see menus in dark restaurants. Or else I guess I could start dating guys that aren't embarrassed to be seen with me. lol.
And I like the extras on both. Don't know when I would actually need or use them, but I like them. Especially the warning lights and the text.

Get to home screen w/ s pen

Other than pressing the home screen button is there a way to get the s pen to take you back to the home screen? Tried a quick Google search but couldn't find anything.
Only way right now is to buy GMD SPen Control from the market and create your own gesture.

Thanks but I'll wait and see if there might be an update that will allow it before I spend $5 on it.

Im pretty sure you can create your own gestures with out having to buy anything. Plus there is already a way to get to hime. But you have to draw the back button .ill look for it and post it here. With the way to create gestures
Go to settings... s pen..... s pen settings. There you can create a gesture or a function you want the s pen to do. Theres also s help page at the bottom when you scroll all the way down.

Power toggles
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Been using power toggles for a day or so. They work great. Only problem is the statusbar icon. I know I can set it to transparent but the the others kinda just hang there oddly. Unfortunately from what I understand, that is not something that I can fix it and still keep them at the top of the notifications. Oh well my ocd shall just be irked.

The one you have to put up with to have it set at high priority. You can make it a battery meter or the date or what not. You can even make it transparent, but it's still there.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Are you sure you need that? Despite what it says in preferences, I haven't had any notifications keep it from being on top, except for the power saver which is gone now. Other than that the only other thing I can think of is to decompile the apk and replace one of those images with a blank PNG.

My mail and messages push it down if I set it any lower. As for the blank .omg, there is an option for transparent, but then any statusbar icons show up to the right of it. And just kinda hang there awkwardly.
I have the date displayed, which isn't a huge deal, it's just one of those things that irk me just a little. I'll live with it though because Newts ROM is so awesome.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Settings extended has also worked nicely for me on newtr's sense 5 port. However, I've also decompiled the relevant apks from the ROM and will see how feasible it will be to adapt a prior mod to the new ROM. I'll report back if significant progress is made in that regard.

Are you using 2 rows? If not you may be able to make a blank 2nd row and take it off high priority, then only the blank row would be covered. Of course, then you would have a blank space in your notifications.
