Any possible way to get the Render FX or screen tinting feature into BAMF? I found the source code but I have no idea how to utilize it. Any possible way this could be made into an apk?
I would love to be able to utilize this in the dark to read texts and not light up my face so much. Or maybe someone has created an app that does this. I did a lot of searching and no luck though
i think i remember seeing this way back when on an ultimate Droid ROm on my D1. it was weird.
but it sounds like screen filter may work for you if you just dont want the white background to burn your eyes out at night. you can make it as bright or as dark as you like. its really a great app. i use it every night. it wont give you color shades, but it does a great job of cutting down on the light output to where it is comfortable to read at night.
There's an app for that... Lol

I have no clue how to do these such things, and before someone links me to a tutorial how to please I really don't have a ton of time between work and children to learn so I would appreciate it tremendously if someone could. Maybe a donation for it, im running the black froyo theme with launcher pro and was wondering if someone could make little androids in black and grey, one holding an enevelope for messages, one holding a globe for internet, one holding a phone and one holding the contact icon so I can change the launcher icons to them. Im sure a lot of people would use them. Thanks!

Ooh not a bad idea actually. You just want launcher pro icons for the dock correct? This should not be terribly difficult with Photoshop and some time
My only concern is icons have to be small so I'm not sure if the little android guy will be too visible in there considering you also have to include the actual icon: mail, phone, internet, etc.
Well I've actually seen a screen shot of someones launcher with the icons in green but I have no idea where I saw them because its been a while since I seen them. They actually looked pretty good.

Let me start off by saying I don't know too much about any technicalities or requirements needed by hardware for applications. This is simply an idea.
Now how possible would it be to have an app/live wallpaper that uses the camera either front, back or both and overlays the home screen entirely. In other words having a realtime camera feed as a live background.
Again its an idea but there can be a feature able to instantly screenshot an image from the actual feed and use it as a stationary wallpaper on the go or just as an easier way to take a photo.
The world is your background. Let's say I have the wallpaper applied and I see a interesting wall with graffiti. I can pull out the phone either record a short 5-10 second clip or snap a picture to use as my wallpaper with ease.
Any feedback as to the likelihood of something like this or similar being possible is welcomed.

Battery Hog it is. I've used it to show off a couple times but to use it daily i would need a double stacked extended battery.
Can this be done for our phone? And if so, can one of you smart developers/themers create a flashable zip for this. This would look awesome.

I believe ADW launcher has a setting for that. And I think certain roms do as well.

I have the paid version of ADW and have never seen that option. Im pretty sure I have looked through all the ADW options. But Im kind of looking for a universal option which a launcher probably wont do. I Have tried most of the ROMS available. Right now I am using Eclipse. It doesnt do it.
Hmm. You've had this on other phones? If so which ones? I'd like to take a look at how they do it and maybe figure out a way to get our phone to do the same. I read the article briefly and it seems that in order for it to be universal it may require a lot of typing.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
From reading the article, unless I'm misunderstanding, it looks to me like it has to be coded into the app. I've got at least one app that does this now. Might be more but I've never paid attention until now. Quick Settings will do this if you have it set to dialog mode. It doesn't blur but it does dim the screen. But that function (blurring) too would appear to be something coded into the app.
Yes this particular article is regarding writing an actual app, its not a function on any launcher. I don't know of a launcher setting to do this universally, there are some options if you crack open a theme or rom and start playing with xml files but thats about it.
I have not had this on other phones. But I've seen it before. Check out this video and look at the 30 second mark:

Thats what I thought it might be. the xml files. But Im not a developer. I wouldnt know where to look or what to change.
Ya doing that would be a big rewrite as far as xml's go...the effect is cool and i wish it was easy to implement universally but as far as i know its not easy...i looked into it a while back.
This seems like a cool effect but the amount of work for the payoff is just not worth it.. especially if its an app by app basis.. I looked at the link quick.. will executing this do this to all apps or is it app by app basis.. if it does the effect to all apps I would look into this further

Just saying again, I'm no developer. But even if that link I posted is just refering to designing an app, I would think there's a place to put this in the system ui files. I know that when I power down my phone, it blurs the background when it's saying "powering down the device" or something like that. But that's the only time it does it. Also, I would think anywhere it has the dimming code, which happens when a dialog box comes up like when you long press the home screen to add a widget. Can't you add or modify the code that does that?

Well the trick would be to find a Rom that does that effect then copy the code from there...If anyone finds a rom with that effect, let me know i can try to find the code, i would love this effect but i just don't have time right now to do the research...maybe this weekend.

Well that Link above the rom package contains just the android.policy.jar file in it so maybe thats where the setting is. I decompiled and looked through it but i couldn't find anything pointing towards blurring the background, maybe someone else that has a little more experience than me wanna give it a crack. Sorry i couldn't help, i will keep my eyes open for this effect and post if i find anything.

Currently this is not fully tested and could cause instability and crashes.
***USE AT YOUR OWN RISK***
Do not use with any other ROM besides neobuddy89's ICS Passion Version 10.6
This mod adds the onscreen software buttons for neobuddy89's ICS Passion ROM version 10.6 found here
This is based on evilisto's guide found here
What this Mod Does:
Adds onscreen buttons like you would normally find on phones and tablets which have no physical buttons.
This mod adds home, back and recent app buttons at the bottom of the screen (or on the right side in landscape mode)
Why would you want this?
1. because you can.
2. ever been in low light conditions, using your screen filter app to dim your screen nice and comfortably low when BAM your blinded because you hit the back button?
3. it looks neat.
Instructions:
1. backup everything in case you need to revert.
2. its a good idea to make a backup of your current framework-res.apk (found in system/framework)
3. disable your lockscreen (this is a current bug I hope to fix soon)
4. download the attached framework-res.apk
5. either use adb or a root file browser to replace the current framework-res.apk with the new one.
6. reboot (if you've done this through a file browser on the phone it will likely do this by itself)
6. enjoy
Current Known Issues:
1. The lockscreen becomes extra large and the locking mechanism is displayed slightly off screen. (you can still use it but it is very difficult to get the lock to catch)
2. the settings menu looks different, some of the text is not formatted correctly.
3. the keyboard overlaps slightly. (it is still usable but you might hit a soft button occasionally when going for the space bar)
4. this appears to take away the additional items on the reboot menu.
5. more of a downside than an actual bug and its likely implied but this takes up an extra little bit of your screen.
6. It made me re-sign in to google I cant say this will happen to everyone.
7. probably quite a few more bugs I haven't found yet.
Please feel free to let me know of any additional bugs you find.
Special thanks to Neobuddy for an awesome ROM
and of course to evilisto for the Idea.

Changing the screen density would work but it also causes some app compatibility issues.
Mostly small issues like the apps not filling the screen.
But I am hoping to find a workaround that does not require this.
Of course if your already changing screen density then this shouldn't be a problem for you anyways
I'll play around with it and update the op with the correct density for those who want to go that route for now.
Thanks for the feedback guys.

Change density + market enabler = problem solved??
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
The market actually works it just makes you sign back in once after installing the mod.
And I'm not entirely convinced it wasn't just a fluke.
I've been playing with LCD density changer from the market and it doesn't seem to be changing the home screen for me randomly.
It does make the keyboard a bit smaller but pushes it to the left.
I'm still playing with it though.
Hopefully I'll find a good setting

Yeah I don't want to just flash this and be like ehhhh and then revert it... I want to be able to have a switch to turn it on and off, that'd be great, but its a bit hard to implement i would guess.
I'm still working on it but progress is slow during the week because of work. And my sister is getting married this weekend.
I expect to work on it a lot more next weekend. Although with any luck I'll get something working sooner.
Basically I've found that enabling the soft buttons seems to enable all tablet oriented options even when they are specifically set to off.
I'm currently trying to find a workaround for that.
I did find a couple other fun but mildly pointless options as well like allowing the lock screen to rotate.
Or disabling the screen turning on when plugging or unplugging the phone.
But I'll play with those a bit after I get the soft buttons fully working.

Have you tried miui closest to rom.to looking like iphone os
lol i've actually wanted the same thing a few times.
let's see if i can explain a bit better.
you know that time when you're playing a game or watching a video or doing something full screen and you get a text? you feel the phone vibrate, but you cant read it or see who it's from or anythign. ios has a neat little toast-like notification that pops down from the top for a second before dissapearing again to tell you the info.
the easiest way to do this for android without making a whole new notification system would be to add toast notifications to messages and stuff.
yes that is exactly what I need. Can anyone find something like that?
Tasker would probably be able to do it, though it may be a bit of a pain to set up, especially if you're not familiar with how Tasker works. There may be a tutorial somewhere for doing something like that.
what is tasker?
I know one which does that, but it's wp7 style... It's called wp7 notifications.

Guys! I have 2 apps that do this. 1 was specifically for this, the other I didn't know had it. Text notify (that's the app name) does exactly this but it's near the bottom of the screen. Maybe 1/4 from the bottom. Then I got true caller Id, which might be questionable because it prompts you saying by using this app your contact list gets added to their database... But True caller id puts the notifications at the top like you described. Both apps free.
