[Q] Today Screen for Android? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

I came across this picture and a few thing about it really baffle me. For example, I do not understand how it is possible to have clock and other such information at the bottom. In addition, there seems to be a 'page-flicking' tool at the bottom, which I suppose it means it is some kind of new UI/Launcher, but I am not sure which. Finally, I really like the weather program implemented, but I do not know its name.
Any help would be really appreciated.

HTC Arrive

Hey guys i know we just got S off yesterday just wanted to ask a question. one of my buddys brought a arrive from his work today and let me play around with it and i really like the sms on it. i'll post a pic of it at the end of the thread.

yeah i know but thats stock. when more roms come out i will be on something else.
That looks remarkably like the one from Touchwiz... You could try porting that and then just making the bubbles more square.

[Q] Weather Forcast App Europe 7 Days Forcast

Hey guys
I'm searching the Play Store for a decent looking Weather app and I have yet
to find it. Thing is, I like a Weather app to tell me all normal things like
temp/condition/Humidity/... But I would also like it to show me a few days in
advance on the same screen.
Something similar 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"
}
Does such app exist? This is an app from a android device that came standard
with it. Not sure what phone it was and normal "accuweather" app doesn't show this exact screen!
Thanks in advance

[Q] Clock Request

Can anyone make a clock with a Vertical layout and all 4 digits on the same line? Also would it be possible to include the weather icon on that as well?
I would love to help the community out but am only familiar with the IOS coding and interfaces, Does anyone have some sample working code i code see (Android Studio 1.2.2). I would really appreciate it and can't wait to give back to the community.
I am looking for something like this as well. A vertical clock that has the type displayed in one line. The factory dual clock does this but I do not need the 2nd clock at the bottom. something like this that shows weather at the bottom would be perfect. I am searching for something but ran across this post and thought I'd add what I'm looking for as well

Noob Question: U5 or U6?

First of all, this is my first post, so hello all and good to meet you
I've been browsing this community for a while, and in my travels I come across these two numbers: either U5 or U6. I've searched my phone settings far and wide but I have no clue where it is or how to find it. Doing a search here or on Google hasn't come up with any results yet either.
Most people who talk about these numbers seem to just know, and it's making me feel mighty silly (which I most likely am)
Thanks for taking the time to click on and answer my question, it's much appreciated
First of all,
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information
Then look for Baseband Version and you will see a number after U or after S.
I have attached a picture showing the same.
Hope this helps...
