Hello fellow Arc owners.
I have a quick question for you all.
What do you wish your handset could do that it can't?
Something you've always wanted to be able to do with your phone but has never happened, no-one's ever found a way.
Whatever this something is, it has to be possible to do by way of an app - so no super-high-res screens, batteries that last a year on a single charge or anything else hardware related, we're just talking software.
And I'm not talking an updated GingerBreak or something like that. I mean a proper, legit, above board idea.
I'd love to hear any/all sensible ideas, thanks.
NB: I'm not looking to steal anyone's ideas, if you've got a plan for the next killer app then go for it and I wish you all the best.
I'm just trying to find out if there's a niche out there that could be filled...
Im thinking......facial or thumb print unlock screens.....no idea why though.

Thumb print.. won't be feasible on current screens
And facial.. would take too long compared to swiping ?
A snap shot feature would be nice like a system restore. I know there are way to do it in Recovery but it would be nice to have a application within Stock ROM because Recovery is not available within Stock we need to Flash the custom ROM like CM for it.
A better (and free) lock screen could be good ! ..
I used to love how I could use the iPhone/iPod as a touchpad to control the mouse on the computer. Something similar for the arc would be a good idea. Should be graphically pleasing though.
I love to be able to use the camera button unlock the phone directly to the camera app, by long pressing it, so it doesn't happen by mistake. And when you turn off the screen or press the back button it would go back to being locked.

As mentioned, finger prints would require different hardware.
Facial recognition is simply fraught with too many problems to be practical.

I thought Google added a snapshot framework to Gingerbread?

Really !! You know how to create a snapshot? Or access it?
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Allows Screenshots Without Rooting
Don't know anything more about it though, sorry.
Sorry I think you got me wrong ...! Snapshot i meant a complete image of the system so we can restore it back to previous state. Let's say if something screws up we can restore the image
Right, ok.
I thought you had made two suggestions - screenshots being one and backups being the other.
I could be wrong but I'm not sure that's possible to do unless you're in recovery. I have a feeling that it's only possible to copy certain parts of the OS when it's not running.
As I say, I could be completely wrong but I can't help but feel that there's a reason why recovery is needed to made Nandroid backups.
May be I want to capture video of the activities I do on my device (just like capturing screenshot)...
Though m not sure if its achievable or not!!!
an app which can change anything in the system .. like the default wallpaper settings ..i dont mean the main wallpaper ... change the color .. change the notification bar ... but that easy change anything in the system ... where u can feel easy on making ur own system ... but the problem i dono how to make i hope somebody go on with my idea .... its free for u all ^_^ ... the first who will do this plz let me be the first one who tries it ^_^
thx
I am expecting an application that can show the time and other notification when screen is off. It means that the time can be checked without needing to wake up the screen. W 800 used this technology before. Very useful!

+1 , and the time/notifications have to move up over the screen after each minute (like a screensaver) (like Nokia/Symbian has)

Do you mean something like night clock or bed clock from the Market?
a widget to toggle between "WCDMA preferred" and "2G only".. and not one that's just a short cut to the network settings menu.

nope, I mean clock and notifications (sms, missed calls, ..) in grey like Nokia (symbian) has. And moving slightly over the screen as it was a screensaver

Exactly!
It doesnt matter if it is moving.
i dont know what the happen but when i updated adw ex (worst ever with the new update) i lost all screen rotation. i uninstalled it bc it sucks and no matter what launcher i use still cant get it to rotate stuck vertical. ive checked every setting even in cyan setting as far as i can tell it should rotate but still nothing at all. no apps rotate my txt msg wont rotate i mean not. so does anyone know what i can do to fix this? ive rebooted like i said i have tried everything just dont know what direction to go in now. thanks for any replys! im so pissed thanks again guys
MOD Edit: If you have to censor your words, then you shouldn't be saying them. Nobody cares how angry you are at an app on your phone. Be chill.

For me the most welcome change is... *drumroll*.. folders! lol. The drag and drop kind, the ICS imitating kind. Mmm. I love the ease of use with these folders and I had tried all kinds of programs and such. After installing ICS on my Captivate and using the folders I was just not satisfied with anything less.
The "trash can" you are talk bout.. Is that the "drag, hold, drop to unistall"? Because it is still there, hasnt gone anywhere with this update. If you are not seeing it check your settings.
In addition to the ICS folders there are other random ICS features/thingies built into the new ADW EX. I love love love the new update, disappointed to hear you dont.
EDIT: Oh and you asked about the hidden dockbar.. I never used it myself but I think I read in the "setup" for the new ADW EX that it is still there, it just behaves differently now since you can scroll the dockbar (on phones, on tablets you wont have to scroll because there will be enough room for all the icons).

I just checked and I could not find the option to move the trash can to the bottom either, maybe that option has been removed. Personally I prefer it on top and always had it there.. Hopefully you will see the value of ADW EX after playing around with it a little, but hey everybody likes things differently right? Good luck.

yeah i wouldn't jump the gun yet.
Yeah some of the new features look nice, but i've already caused trouble...
One new bug btw. Set 5 icons on main dock bar, rotate in potrait and landscape, and tell me why this new update ****ed up the order. Previous version did it correctly, this version orders them differently
im sure liking the new one... tho one thing that is bugging me is i cant seem to edit the icon in the dock... been trying to get the ICS app draw icon there but i cannot edit the icon pic.... hmm
honestly I'm using this ICS 3d mint theme on the market for CM7 with the new ADW and its awesome it really looks beautiful and also the new scrolling dock bar really helps get rid of all the annoying widgets that are memory hogs.

These are the post I like most. First, you have a guy passionate about his phone and the app. Secondly, you get a good explanation/changelog about the new version, and C. You find the answer to simple questions to things like settings because people are so annoyed by the post. Don't kill the guys passion, just tell him why he's wrong so we can all benefit.

Hey guys, i recently installed a new custom ROM (mySENSEdx5 RC 4.0), and i flashed custom transparent app drawer by xpirt so it made my menu be transparent...Thing is, i want the dock to be transparent too. Is there anything i can do about it or i will have to leave it as it is now. I don't want to use any launchers such as nova, go, apex etc...
And secondly, the ROM came with costumized panel which i want to delete but i can't do it, remove option is grayed out, is there anything i can do about it ? It has some widges that i don't need like news highlights and stuff, it's really ugly tbh.
Thanks in advance

Hey man thanks for the link. Got it working. Sorry I didn't make it clear for my second issue. Thing is I have 3 pannels on my home screen. One of the pannels has already been there when I installed custom ROM. I hate that pannel, it shows me things that I don't want to see on homescreen...picture of pannel is attached in post. I want to delete it but I don't know how. When I slide 3 fingers from corners of screen to middle it opens up cpstumization of pannels. When I press down to drag that pannel into "remove" it is grayed out and it seems that I can't delete it. Is there anything that I can do to delete that pannel ?

Hello
Is there a way to get the lock screen to turn on every time a message is coming I mean like
Whatsapp Gmail etc. that will be exactly like the regular massage app or missed call with the clear alert
As apps that do that I all ready know about my question is for the build in popup window and the turn on the lock screen for each massage that came in
As far as I know it can't be done but Hi maybe I will surprised
Thanks

That is possible mate ! but not simple!..... u cld use some apps from play store for dis but am guessing it will have its own lockscreen
So the answer is Yes but not very simple......
Please tell me what to do if it possible let's try it
As for apps that do a simeler job i allready know.
But i want some apps that i use to desplay the same as in the screenshot

It's not the most stable App ever so you might run into a few issues from time to time, but overall it works pretty well. I am using it and really like it.

And there is a popup for each app but the screen dose not turn on when a message os coming so still there is a need for an app to turn on the screen each time such as niLS
Pat hit the nail on the head
Android L Lockscreen is a marvel, but be careful what you wish for. It'll notify you about everything on Lockscreen even down to what you had for breakfast.
