Me too. Did they make this so international users could access fb w/ an app? If not, I dont see the point

With this I can upload videos to facebook something I either couldn't figure out or missed On the market app, I like facebook $ better so far but will keep both

Yea at first I really liked this. Its originally I think from the samsung wave and its android market. But this thing lags a bit. I too went back to the original one. Anyone else and their thoughts on this

Hey, which battery app is that? I have battery indicator which is fine but it takes up a slot in the notification bar. I like the one you have that just takes the spot of vibrant's battery meter.

Looks pretty good. I loved the messages tab.

I had the same problem. You should go to the link in the post. I know its not supposed to matter, but I made my screen timeout longer. It was stuck each time.... So try that out, it might work for you

I spoke too soon. Its very slow and doesn't have alerts. The best alert facebook app is bloo from the market. The Samsung facebook app is really nice but it loads everytime you go to a new tab or actually update your status or reply to an update.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I also suggest bloo 1.5 but it's not on the market, gotta Google the apk. I hate the official app because it takes you to the mobile version mostly.

Hard to say. Worse case scenario flash back to stock and then reroot. Download rom manager and flash recovery and then you can backup your current rom and everything on it that way if you make a mistake moving forward you can always revert back instead of starting over. I learned that lesson the same way you did.
What did the app do? Do you remember that at least?
Sounds like a task manager.
maybe advanced task killer
It was similar to a task manager but that was not its main focus ..bah oh well I guess... If i remember the name I'll let you all know, its an amazing app.

when you opened the app.. a box/rectangle that was almost the same size as the screen would pop up but you could still see the background of either the app drawer or what ever screen you had the app on, in the box it would be a list of actions that the app could do, such as end all tasks... there was one that said favorite apps that you could put all your fav apps in instead of having your desktop flooded with apps. those are the only ones i remember, they are the only ones i ever used.
i found it just a few days ago... i saw a review or somthing that made mention of the app and i was all ehh ill check it out and i loved it! ugh its driving me insane now that i cant remember it..
Was it jkAppSwitch by any chance?
Maybe android mate...

Smart Bar. Also allows for you to kill mobile data, amongst many others, with a quick settings toggle. I am positive that that's your app.

Did you install the android SDK when you rooted? There is a tool in the tools folder called ddms or something similar. If you plug your phone into your computer and run that tool it will give you an option to take a screen shot at any point. Even in a 3d game.

best app, i'd have to say shootme.
I've seen a lot of people se drocap2 so...
YMMV
Asked the same question in Vibrant Q & A, the responses I recieved persuaded me to stay with the one I was using,,,, Shoot me
Yup shootme user here as well...
Sent from my Galaxy S using XDA App
Shoot me is the best. The only problem for the originator of this thread is that shoot me takes pictures in png format while xda app only let's you upload in jpg therefore you need to wither use drocap2 like everyone else does who uploads here or find a converter for your pictures on the market if one is out there and convert the picture to jpg. Or you can try to tell the devs to make the xda app compatible with png im sure there not to busy and will stop everything there doing for this request. (Lol. Just had to add a little humor not being a smart a**)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
After alot of trial and error, I found that drocap2 suited my needs the best. I hated the shake trigger or timer functionalities of the other apps, the first never worked for me and the second was a pain of unparalleled proportions.... These two options are available for drocap as well, but I use the notification trigger functionality which takes a snapshot way quicker and more reliably then the other approaches. Drocap also lets you select were the snapshots end up which is a bonus as I like to store my images inbthe same directory!

One thing you'll notice about the notification trigger for drocap ia that it always appears in the picture. Another thing after further use you'll notice that it takes pictures fast but for every picture or at least the first one you'll will catch it will say "superuser as granted drocap" dudah ... so yeah and well if your like lots of of here (anal about screenshots) having that notification in the bar is a h**l no... enough said.

Facial Recognition locking app

I found this app in the Samsung GS2 forum.
From what I understand this app is also available through the android market. I am not taking credit in anyway for the development of this app just liked it and decided to post it here for us too use.

Thanks for sharing, this is great. But one gripe, it puts an icon in the notification bar and of you drop it down and select it, it takes you to the setting so anyone can change the settings.

I have tried it with a few friends it kept them out. Not saying its perfect but you can also try raising the security level to high. Just makes sure you take a variety of test pics in different lighting for the best results

I found a flaw though. On sense 3.0 if the application you have locked is on your lock screen, it somehow opens the app anyways, therefore this app is useless.

Are you sure the app was running? I just tried my lockscreen and it locked it for me. Make sure you have the notification on and that the icon is in your notification bar, so can make sure the app is running. Something else you can try, there is a setting that allows you change whether or not you have to constantly unlock it or unlock one app and it stays unlocked

you can turn the setting off where it stops prompting to Face Rec every time you turn off the screen and open the app.
I cant wait for it to be used in conjunction with the lockscreen/unlocking the phone...
It makes me feel like im somebody off of mission impossible or something...

I figured out a workaround...
Install "Agile Lock" (free on Market, and a Sense 3.0 lockscreen that's meant for AOSP ROMS normally) https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.SenseScreen
and set the app to activate when used...
Profit.
R WE NOT PHONES?!?

I set this to lock golauncher, which works well as phone wont launch after unlocking it until face verified. UNLESS, you slide an app to the lockring, then it bypasses it and I think crashes visidon, becuse i then have to open the app and back out to make it work again. Would be a sweet app if this was fixed.

How do I change the stock (blur?) phone dialer background

How do I change the stock (blur?) phone dialer background? I have tried a few and do not like any of the dialers out there. I just want to change the image file used for phones background because I dont like the stock file is blue with a white-ish center. ANyone know where the file is located?
U have to theme the stock apk. I am currently working on this. I am porting over the extreme dialer.

I checked out cybik's thread but it looks nowhere near ready to consider. I need something stable as I am on the phone/email all day long and cant go with something not semi-fully functional.
There is no way to just change the background image using Root Explorer or something? I cant believe its not that simple.
The main thing I'm interested in changing is the blue background with the white center when showing contact photo.

Thanks for this! I got the update through play store last evening. To be honest i'm not a huge fan of the new style, it seems very much like the iPhone version of google maps, which i'm not a fan of. I really dislike how the menu button doesn't do anything.
I went back to the old Google maps. Not a fan of the new one at all.

It is. Only if you didn't get it yet or what it early

Love the new look. Like how it gives alternate routes with time like Google Now
Like the new look, but HATE that they took some layer features out and also the traffic widgets! That sucks, so for now I'm not keeping the update. I had two traffic widgets. One for work and one for home. Really helpful for everyday I work. I know if I gotta bust A$$ and get moving or can take it easy and just go about my morning. Really hope they bring that back.
