[Q] Moto E - Help - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have recently bought Moto E, need help on the following items:
a) Looking for a good back or flip cover; preferably a flip cover. Can someone help in getting this in India.
b) When we access apps the background becomes blakc, can we make this transparent so that we can view the desktop wallpaper etc.?
Thanks

First of all this thread should be in Q & A and not in general.
Regarding flip cover I have no idea. You can check Flipkart for it. But if you want back cover than go for amzer. I am currently using it and its good.
You can't change the app drawer background to transparent. Use a different launcher for it.

[Q] Capabilities of the Xperia x10i

i've searched the threads and have not really found a direct answer to what I was searching for.. thus created this
curious to know.. is the xperia x10i capable of achieving any of the following (or will be in the future)
a) instead of the arc scroll for unlocking.. something similar to the iphone (slide)
b) password input (num pad) instead of the draw pattern
c) I know the image size for the wallpaper has to be (appx) 900 x 600 for it to fit properly in the background.. but any chances of having an image which is LOCKED on each page and when you scroll to another page.. it doesnt change?
d) having a different wallpaper for when the phone is locked versus home screen
e) changing background of sms screen? inserting image & changing the font bubble for the sender and receiver of text messages
f) double click functions (similar to iphone) where a double click can perform certain tasks such as opening a smaller window of music and changing songs
-- this would also apply to when the phone is locked (once again.. like the iphone)
that's all I could think of for now haha.. cheers

You can do that with a decent launcher.

You should move on (emotionally).. and embrace the differences.. it's what makes the x10 an X10, and not an iphone... plus.. you'll find when you dig around on the market and search this forum, you'll find that as it's android you can customise it beyond your wildest dreams!! Especially compared to the limited changes you could make on the iphone.

to tell you the truth.. i'm loving it! (mcdonalds)
i'm comparing it to my old 8gb 3G iphone and the x10i blows it away.. the speed, the graphics and most importantly.. I GET RECEPTION EVERYWHERE.. impressive.
..and i'm curious to know what kind of customizations you are referring to.. because my dreams are pretty wild

I installed GOTO and a question regarding that.. on the lock screen.. it shows (default) text messages, call log and gmail.. can I customize those icons.. as in.. instead of what is presently there.. put text, dialer & music?
& is there any customized 'dailer' that you would recommend? default is pretty.. default lol
& ADW launcher decent? currently using that
I don't use GOTO so can't help with that, but I do use ADW and wouldn't use anything else, but I'm going to give Launcher Pro a whirl when we get the update.
Try SuperDial by Episode6 (off the market).. it's really good.
ADW is highly customisable - it will take you a while to uncover all it's wonders!.. first thing you need to do when you download it is go into the settings and switch off the "horizontal drawer" feature in the "Drawer settings" menu - doesn't work very well.. but the rest of it is really then down to you... and your wild imagination!!!
If you want to Root you can do even more, but I'm not that fussed about it personally (and I don't have that much spare time on my hands!)...
I downloaded DesktopVisualiser too (had to google that, couldn't find it on the market for some reason).. but that allows you to create your own icon (on your image editing software on your PC) and then assign an app shortcut to them - I created 4 red buttons for my actions buttons - at the bottom of ADW screen - for my 4 main acitvities - Call, Text, Email, Internet.. but you can also use photo's too..
Have fun!
oh.. and check this thread out... there's tonnes of ideas in here.. a lot of it is on rooted phones, but much of it can still be done on a non-rooted handset...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713391
you weren't kidding about superdial.. nice!
i've already rooted the xperia & used titaniumbackup to back everything up.. I guess the more I look into it the more I would be able to customize it (i'm on the same boat.. no time)
is there another software which I could use other than DesktopVisualiser to customize the icons? do you have a guide on how to do it with desktopvisualiser?
yeah that thread is nice but going through 124 pages might take a while
i'll put up some pics of my phone when I get a chance.. is shootme currently the best software to take phone snapshots or is there something better?

Hi,
Does anyone know a way to put the "Applications" icon in the middle on the dock for touchwiz 4.5?
I tried all I could think of but it just won't move from the far right side.

launcher8 tutorial request

I've known of this launcher as well as L7 and SS Launcher but I haven't seen any tutorials for L8. Do we have any experienced users of this application who could be so kind as to write a detailed tutorial with pictures so others can keep the unrelated BS questions out of the main general discussion thread

This launcher (launcher8) is quite basic and simple to use. Unfortunately I don't have the time to create a tutorial. But if you want to know anything, you can always send me a PM.

With the simplicity set aside, I was wondering if there was a website dedicated to all tiles?
Sent from my ICS powered LG Optimus T
Search on Google "Windows 8 tiles deviantart." I've got lots of tiles from that site. I don't exactly remember the link.

On the screenshot,there's a tile that scrolls but I'd like to change that scrolling feature and use something different? How do I change it?
Sent from my ICS powered LG Optimus T
Looks like a great program.
I agree with OP. I'm looking for the same thing. Googling for info led me not many places but here.
A five minute video walking through a typical screen setup would be wonderful.
Or a post with one or two or ten pointers that everyone should know starting out with the launcher would also be great.
Whoever takes the time to do this will surely be met with extrinsic rewards in the form of many scincere thank-you votes, as well as intrinsic sense of accomplishment for a valuable contribution to our community.
A few of my 1000 questions:
1 - the picture thingy... is there a way to resize it so it displays the entire picture rather than scrolling portions of it?
2 - how do I add new screens on the side rather than building one long vertical screen?
3 - when I try to assign an application to a tile, they are not in alphabetical order.... can it be changed to alphabetical like the "App Drawer" on the right hand screen?
4 - How to change the size of my time panel. When I edit it, there is no option to change the size like on other panels.
I'll give one tip:
You can set the borders between tiles to zero for a very cool look, and more room for photos/icons.
Go to Settings/Themes/Tile Paddings -> 0pixels.
(I read that in the other thread and love the results)
Can you provide me a link to this launcher??

[Q] Hiding sidebar placeholder icons

Hi folks... I'm hoping someone can give me a quick answer to my silly question.
On my Transformer Prime (stock, latest OS), a launcher update wiped out some of my display settings, and in getting it set back up again, one thing is stumping me.
I used to have it so that on the slide-out side bar (show/hide via down-swipe) had only the icons I added, and the placeholder spots were empty/transparent.
Now those placeholder spots show a "+" icon... and I can't remember how to clear those, nor can I remember what that side bar is actually called, so I'm having no luck searching for my answer. The downside of turning 40.
Help is appreciated.

Question to developers

Hello everyone!
I want to know if it's posible to make the stock Launcher slide down from any part of the Desktop and open the notification panel instead of the hisearch bar.
I know this is possible using third part launchers and i had been using nova Launcher for the last 5-6 years, but i like the stock look on emui so im interested on that and thats the reason i ask the developers because i think it cannot be something so hard to do but very useful. I don't know how Huawei did not thought about that...
Up for subscribing to your thread so i will know when a developer that has a Huawei device and is mooding EMUI 10 apps ? will answer your question ?
PS. ATM i can say that i don't know any, but who knows, maybe there are some @ here, using the phone as is, because for this device (and all released after this one) there is no bootloader unlocking codes / root...

Yo,
I have a little trick with an app called VividNG.
I have assigned to the top right side of my screen a zone where I can pull down to open the notification panel.
After doing this you will be able to open the notification panel this way in every app. Just use your thumb.
It's not as easy as swiping from anywhere on the screen but it's better than nothing at all and having to reach the top of the screen everytime.
Hope that it will help someone !
