I5800 Emulator Skin - Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps

Hey everybody,
I was bored and created an Emulator skin for our Galaxy3:
{
"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"
}
It supports portrait and landscape mode (remember: you can switch by CTRL+F11).
However, I have not figured out how to use a different control layout for landscape mode yet. Don't know if it's even possible, I didn't find any Emulator that implements it. Thats the reason why the controls stay in portrait mode even when your switching to landscape.
In portrait mode the buttons are just where they are on the real phone. I didn't add additional keys (as you can see).
Display size and density are like on the real I5800.
If you want to test it, you can download it here:

cool.
btw, is there any way that i can make an avd that's exact like i5800 and root it in emulator only. I m very keen to do that. I have something like that for G1 but it's android version 1.6.

I also thought about that. I'm not really into porting, but I guess it would be very hard and time-consuming to port the touchwiz framework to the hardware that is emulated here.

FastSettings (volume and backlight control for SE xperia x1 and HTC)

This is a Windows Mobile program that allows you to control volume and backlight level. The main advantage is a finger friendly interface. It works fine on SE xperia x1, also, all the features suppose to work on most of the latest HTC phones such as touch HD or Diamond. On any other device the backlight adjustment feature will not work, but the volume control should work. This is a first release, and I plan to update it step by step. Currently the application supports only VGA and WVGA resolutions. Bellow there is a list of features:
{
"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"
}
Finger friendly GUI – done
VGA and WVGA resolutions – done
Hook of the volume buttons – done
Landscape mode – done
Hook of the volume icon in taskbar – in a progress
Add autostart – in a progress
If you can please leave a feedback about bugs or how does the program work with your device or may be the feature that you want to see in this program.

i like this app, havent used it for very long but no bugs so far and everything is working fine
Thanks
Mirko
Great little app. No problems so far and automatically mapped itself to the volume keys on my HD2 which I really like. I really needed this.
Nice work Maxmkh and big thanks.
Just a quick update. I know Maxmkh has stated that an autostart would be in progess but I thought I'd try and add the exe to he start up folder. This, however, didn't work. For anyone who was gonna try it.
Nice, I'll try on my Xperia X2. If it works i'll post here.
TY.
DayLon.
it works on my mega, qvga except the backlight bar not there as it for wvga. good. been looking for it . android have seperate volume control for ring,message,media and seperate alert tone. hopefully this can go that direction
Key hooks
Hey there! nice app! I really like it, but there a little problem regarding key hooks when I use X1BC. Is it possible to release a version without the key hooks or trying to use the volume key through X1BC. thanks!

it is from the N73 and idk why i love it but its my fav... does anyone know where i could download a version i could use on my galaxy s 2? I would love thanks! thanks
EDIT**
found the file:
just not good quality when applied to my phone, is there a way to fix the resolution? Im not good with photo editing
How picky are you about how it looks? I can't do anything about the original, but 5 mins in photoshop should produce a very close replica.

that would be sweet
Edit: Ok, here is the 800x480 version of the picture. The caveat is that I can not get it to display properly on my phone. Under the select wallpaper screen it fits perfectly, but then it shows up funky when you look at the actual home screen.
Edit 2: Use this version, but do not crop out the black. For some reason it is only displaying 1/2 of the image, so by adding extra it displays the whole wallpaper cleanly.
Edit 3: If you need a scrollable version let me know.

THANKS! now if only i could get the icons, your the best!
In the main Android forum there is a massive thread full of icon sets. I suggest looking there. You probably won't find something identical, but you may find something similar.

Dev wanted for tablet mode refinements

im looking for a developer with some android background who could help to implement some changes regarding per app dpi as explained here.
what this will do is break free what many have come to call "tablet mode" but this time without blowing the phone to bits. we could have the best of both worlds: tablet UI, tablet apps (gapps, settings, youtube, everything tablet HD & related) and normal apps running in their default layouts. the problem is that google created a hole between tiny phones from 2005 and big tablets. all our phones fall in it. it makes no sense that a nexus for instance runs in 1-column layout, its ridiculous actually for such a huge screen. tablet mode, as it is right now, helps, but it forces non-tablet apps into tiny layouts.
now we've had some success with our manual mod and even some dev's jumped in to adapt their apps, nova for instance is now tablet mode ready. but we just need to dig further. without per app dpi this will only be interesting for a small audience. with the setting in check it will probablby blow over and re-define ICS as we know it.
i managed to compile cm9 and im learning how to deal with it but its so much. a simple grep for stuff takes like an hour because its gigabytes of code. it grows way over my head right now. i think i've found A. the position where the treshold for the tablet switch is implemented which could be lowered and B. how to implement individual DPI but there's stuff missing. anyone who's interested to help or lead us in this, please contact me.
ps. what we'll get will look 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"
}
with that setting it could be like that on all phones, not just high density ones like nexus.
thanks!

Can quality of screen shots be increased?

I don't know how much this matters to others, but I've noticed on my phone that when I do the hand-swipe motion to capture a screen, it works fine but the quality is mediocre. Everything from the color density to the clarity just isn't as crisp/accurate as I would assume and hope it to be. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, has anyone found a way (even if it's an app) that this can be remedied?
I also just tried the ddms approach, it doesn't work for me; screen comes up a peach-ish color across the entire thing.

You're the first I've heard of this problem. All the screenshots should just be unmolested PNGs (without any h/w overlay effects baked in (like mDNIe)) no matter how you take 'em: homebutton+powerdown, handswipe, ddms, airdroid, ...
Post an image of your screenshot here so people can see what you're talking about?

It's just not as...crisp/clear/vivid as it is on my phone. Even the color itself is off. The 2nd one below it is of my old wallpaper, which is a better example of how it's more a faded version of what I see on the phone.

I really wish I could get the ddms method to work, but in the meantime the (minor as it may be) difference between the screen captures and originals bugs a little. It just seems like most of the screen shots I see others post (such as in the thread dedicated to it) look much more vivid.

Trying to get one-handed mode working for a disabled co-worker.

Hello all. My coworker lost a portion of her dominant thumb recently. She's on a Pixel 2 on Android 11. Is there any way she can permanently make the phone's screen only take up a smaller portion of the whole display? So in essence, to have a decent chunk of padding on the left and top parts of the screen so she can always reach every part of the screen?
Her phone is rooted. We tried a few DPI and resolution changer apps, but none of them did what we want which is to have a bunch of padding to the left and from the top, permanently.
Preferably the setting would be permanent and not needed to be turned on, and will work across all apps. We tried the "One-Handed Mode" module for Gravitybox but it did nothing when applied.
Is there any way to accomplish this with an ADB command or some sort of app that we haven't found yet?
Anyone?
If downgrading to Android 10 is an option, overscan would work like a charm.
wm overscan [reset|LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM]
wm density [reset|DENSITY]
Google it...

Thanks for the snarky and useless reply; this video only makes the keyboard work with one hand, not the entire phone screen.

Sadly downgrading isn't an option but is there any way to do this in Android 11 if she's rooted?

Do some more searches.
I'm not going to do your homework just pointing you towards the library...

I've been searching for over a week and the 5 different one-hand mode apps I've used haven't worked, but thanks for being a total pretentious dickhead to someone trying to help out a disabled fellow human being!
Also your stupid Youtube link wasn't even what I asked for which just goes to show you have **** for brains on top of being a gigantic asshole to people.

Sorry to hear about "her" power tool incident.
The most important small appendage on the human body.
Texting will never be the same.
Short of a prosthetic or transplant, adaptation is the only alternative and all the former have their limits.
There's this on the Note's... it's in the firmware, not an app. whatever...

Yes which is why I specifically asked if it can be done on a Pixel phone that is rooted.
