there are a lot of threads/posts on the forum with moded phones.apk to display bigger contacts pictures, i already tried a lot of phone.apk's and none of these are working fine in our galaxy ace (FC), maybe someone can do it?
i already tried to modify the xml files, but i got a lot of errors when compiling the apk and i don't even know if im right with some values (my first try doing something like this hehe)
yes, i know there is an apk called full screen caller id, but i like more the "android" style.
examples:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
info about how to do it, here: Russian
info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050251
im not asking for a full screen because of contacts pictures limitations, etc. i just would love to have a slightly bigger contact picture.
thanks

i am using Smart CallerID
i am also searching for modification of phone.apk.
this would be nice ... the only mod i managed to do with success on phone apk was changing that horrible green background ... bigger picture sizer would be awsome!

OK so I've made it official and contacted the creator of the BN 3rd Place font asking for permission to modify his font. (I know this is long over due and most have the font already but now its legit)
The only modifications that were made were to make it look more like the font used in Verizon's Droid commercials.

The original font: BN 3rd Place
Created by Ben Nathan of hafontia.com
Modified by sickbox
NOTE: This is a Hebrew font and will show up further down the list than English fonts in Photoshop.
Ok, donning my flame-proof suit before asking questions. (I did try putting "BN 3rd place" into the search box first...honest, this was the only hit I got) So is this a font you install to your phone for your viewing on the phone? Or can you incorporate it into texts or emails you send from the phone so others see it? Does it work in conjunction with another app? How do you go about installing it? Just trying to get edumacated. Your patience will be appreciated.
Tanks,

I was actually hoping for something a little more exciting 'phone-wise', but thanks for the answer just the same.
Sorry, this was not intended to be a font to change the text on your phone it was fixed up for people who want to use [insert name of word processing or photo editing software] to create content with a verizon droid like font.
You may be able to use it on a rooted phone but I have no idea how to change fonts since I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.
It's pretty easy to do.
Rename the ttf to droidsans.ttf (It will only change non-bold letters, though.) and place it under /system/fonts.
Just found out about IIDA Home Launcher after looking through the screenshots thread. Made a CWM zip to try it out, it's attached.
Original Thread
The original download was the entire system/app dump of the Xperia(i think). I cut it down to only the IIDA apks, nothing get over written so you can delete the files after installing if you decide to ditch it.
My first impressions, it's really cool. It's like WP7 Metro but the app drawer is just a downward scroll instead of an icon.
But we'll have to work on it a bit to make it work on the Atrix. Also we'll have to figure out how to add locations to the lists, right now it seems to be only Japanese cities. And the email tab doesn't work. Also, we'll probably want to silence the beep on touch, but that's probably as easy as replacing a sound file with silence.
Here's a few screens:

I used this launcher for a couple days just before CM7 was updated. It was fun finding pictures and "flare" but it was also kind of buggy. At one point the calendar just disappeared and when I reflashed I forgot how frustrating moving all of my apps from the bottom to their respective sections was. Moments later CM7 came out and I left it in the dust. But I'm back on Darkside now since I need Webtop. I'll definitely give it another go.

This is awesome, i cant wait.
the weather app(the one with japanese cities only) is a different game, it pulls the information from a 2 different websites one for area and one for prefecture, we do not use prefectures in America so im kinda scratching my head to see how we are going to make this app work , the twitcheck app does not deodex properly according to another member who tried and i can't seem to find the facebook check or the music tile for the launcher, the Launcher itself is more than stable and it can be used on a daily basis.
check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313247&page=10 there is a conversation between me and another member who is working on the same launcher too.
I love this wallpaper:

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.

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.

Is it possible for us to have those shiny panels on android?
Then we can place icons/shortcut on top of it to make them stand out?
*Note*
I remembered i could do that thing with window mobile phones
Seems like nobody knows the answer to this, please share knowledge if you have an idea
if those are just png files in android then I'm pretty sure you can but you or someone would have to make them look like that as in coloring the old image file from whatever apk those apply to then reload the edited apk back onto your android phone. So I'm saying yes with a more experienced package creator. I myself have been doing my own editing and picture creating, just haven't figured out how to properly compact the apk yet.

Those are panels in the mobile sense i believe they're not png files, its more like widgets i believe? then we can place an icon/shortcuts on top of that to makes them stand out

Android Creators/developers/etc... look to look into something like this
So we can make the home screen icons look even more stand out with the shade/shiny panels...
The original screen is still cool but it a bit plain to my opinion
Hi, Does anyone know to port this application to total Xperia Active Galaxy S3.
This application is a barometer, an altimeter but also high precision (about 5 times more precise than GPS) this is possible because the application of S-Baro fit the data of the nearest weather station with barometer is that with the GPS;
The result is a maximum error of only 15 meters.
The application is already installed and works with ICS on my XPERIA ACTIVE but the graphics are cut with lcd_density: 160 stocks that
As if in build.prop lcd_density port: 120
in this case the application can be seen perfectly as screenshot below.
With build.prop / lcd_density: 160

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
With build.prop / lcd_density: 120
Does anyone know how to change the S-Baro app to use it with the correct graphics leaving lcd_density: 160 that is stock?
Thank you for your interest.

Thank you very interested to check out.
I just tried the change is made, but putting it in System / app installs but when I go to start it gives me "locked in an unusual way" that does not open, but it immediately crashes.
Interesting... When I get my phone back (i think tomorrow...) I'll check it again.

Thank you very much look forward to hearing from you is a very well done app.
Do you remember your Xperia Active must have ICS as the app is for Galaxy S3 (ICS).
I installed the ICS stock of Sony.
Thank you for your interest.
I tried to resize the files .Png in the folder "drawable-xhdpi" and the situation seems improved but not resolved because the write lines of text do not seem to have moved.
Does anyone have a solution?
No one was able to make progress?
