[Q] Turn off graphical smiley faces in messaging? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried googling but my google fu may be weak. I can't find any setting anywhere to turn off the graphical smiley faces in the Blur messaging app. Is my only choice to use a different messaging app? I'd rather not, because I prefer the stock Blur messaging app to Go (which was my favoured app on CM7). Is there any way of removing the smileys through some kind of secret settings file somewhere?
Seriously, they look ridiculous. I can't even tell what they are.

Agreed! Somebody definitely dropped the ball when they included those dumb looking smiles. I also would like to know a way to get the old graphical ones back. I'm using Handcent and they are the same so I doubt changing sms apps will do anything anyways.

(Request) motorola multitouch kb

I'm not having any luck with the hacked ones for the evo. Fc city. I liked the black kb with the blue highlight when you touched the keys.
This happened with my old evo too. The stock is kinda blinding at night in a dark environment. How about white letters, black background.
Merged the duplicate thread and posts
The two requests were for two different things. The second one merged was for an inverted sms/mms stock app.

Inverted how? If you are talking colors just get Handcent and mess with the settings (Android based, Dark themed)
I know about handcent. Only reason I would want stock is because its a much smaller app than handcent or chomp. Thank you for the suggestion though. Inverted meaning white text and black background. There are alternatives and modded stock and aosp out there but you need root for most of all the cool stuff.

Much smaller meaning the size of the apps? Like how many MB they are? I think with the shift especially, the size of the texting app (going from stock to handcent or chomp) wont matter. But to each their own...and I'm not completely sure but with all of the moving apps to sd cards these days I would say size is one of the only things that wouldn't be an issue.
Anyways, good luck, cant wait for the root so we can get all that cool stuff!

Windows Phone 7 Theme

I am very interested in making my own theme and after looking around I've noticed there isn't really a good Windows Phone 7 theme. Sure, there are launchers that replicate it, but applications aren't themed. :\ Soooo, I was thinking about making one and theming a few apps to finish up the polish. Any feedback? Anyone want to help?
Apps to Theme:
Dialer / Phone
Contacts
Messages
Music Player Not just theming, but re-coding
If you think of another app please let me know!
Thanks!
They already have a large project going on this.
http://wp7android.com/apps/
i would love the dialer app and the messaging app. They already have a launcher and the music and the lock screen done. I really like the metro UI but i will pass on the launcher. Though i do use all the icons =).

yeah, and i dont think anyone will be able to make something as smooth as WP7 really is. since Microsoft has updated OpenGL 2.0 and we only have 1.0/1.1. also they have hardware acceleration as well as iphone so eh. maybe im wrong?
I used a windows 7 phone for about a month. Incredibly smooth. No lag at all. Of course that was because only 1 app was running at a time... Which is why i went back to android. Cant stand no multi tasking. Anyways, i actually really like the metro UI. If they could link the contacts and phone app together so that when you hit contacts in the phone app it would open up the wp7 contacts, that would be awesome. The launcher on android actually keeps up pretty well. The animation is alot smoother on wp7 though.

The windows 7 dialer does link to the windows 7 contacts app if u have both installed.
fede from the launcher pro team is working on porting the music app, looks awesome but afaik its still in alpha, API is on the forums if you search for it

i might go ahead and buy the apk from the wp7android people for the dailer and contacts then. Does anyone know if you can change the default dialer. Never had a replacement dialer before. By this i mean, if you go to a website and click a phone number, will it open up the wp7 dialer or the stock one?

If you have multiple dialers installed (stock plus another) it will ask you which option you want to use when you press the phone button, launch a contact, etc, and then you can set one or other as default. I've got Go Contacts which comes with a dialer, and it did this until I selected one or other. Then if you want to set it back I think you go into manage applications and clear the defaults for that app

The issue that i was having was that i used it as a stop watch and unless i was on that stop watch when it went off then it didnt go off. Caused me to be over on my lunch break and rest breaks at work toooo many times. Plus i dont like the boring launcher. Not very customizable.... yet.
it would be still cool if someone could theme gingerblur ... windows phone 7ish... like status bar icons and all... that would be hawt

What do you hate the most about touchwiz?

Feel free to release your hate for touchwiz, i know we can use other apps to "fix" our phones but there's not an easy solution for everythin, gwhat are the things that you hate the most about it? In my opinion:
1.The lockscreen: Even tough i like the slider for received sms or missed calls i find it ridiculous, its slow and unpractical, you have to drag the wallpaper through 70% to unlock the phone
2.The launcher: its not that bad, but it is NOT smooth while flicking through the homescreens
3.The cheesy blue font, really samsung? a blue font in menus?
4.The messaging app: again the blue font, and the app it's just an iphone ripoff
5.The dialer/contacts: looks ugly and the image for the contacts its streched :/
6. Autobrightness also in the browser? huh? why?
7. Gallery on drugs? Its all sped up and is not overly responsive
8. No "," on the keyboard ( you have to switch to the special characters)
9. No option to deactivate just the keyboard vibration, in order to do it you must deactivate the vibration on the capacitive buttons too
10. Icons are really ugly
11. Hubs are pointless, the only non disposable one is the game hub
12. Samsung apps are horrendous, has someone download something useful from there?
13. No music widget? um why? i know there's a "shortcut" on the notification but a widget would have been nice
14. No text reflow on the browser
I should also mention that the camera app is better than stock android and i also like the way you change the wallpaper and add widgets, the browser is really smooth , is it true it has hardware
acceleration?
I know gingerbread is fugly but starting from ice cream sandwich just stick to making amazing hardware samsung
1. Normal Android and iOS, you have to drag an a thumb size **** for entire screen rather than anywhere of the screen, seems more hard to me.
2. Same on all androids... Try HTC next time.
3. Where did you get blue fonts? I don't see them
8. *cough* I have "." on keyboard. Do you by any chance use another launcher?
14. Actually text reflows on mine, and it is not TW launcher, it is android
Seriously dude, rest are just "objective" rather than facts.
I like TW and it is lighter than any other "default" launchers on rest of Android devices. Even sense on my friend's HTC's feels slow.
I hope Samsung does not give us butt-naked Android UI for ICS... TW4 is next best thing in Android other than core underground.
Please read why rest of Tech-editor hates Android's UI's, since I did not see much using SGS2... Beside it is not like Samsung locked you to use it. There are too many launchers out there...
I think TW is a good solid launcher. I dont use TW daily, but i dont agree with 90% of your points.
Same as the above poster really. i dont have blue fonts and also have a "." on the keyboard.
I'd strongly have to disagree with the not smooth on the home screens. Mine is seriously nippy.
Probably the only reason i dont use it is that i like to change my icons, so i will give you that one.
The stretching in the dial can be fixed by using a picture with the correct resoultion.

I agree 100% with everything! But you forgot the most annoying thing of all. The king of all annoyances! The child of Annoying Orange and Fred! The 100% battery charge notification!!! Who in their right mind would not think of including an option to turn it off?!
In all fairness, most of these issues (including the ball on leg on a hot summer's day battery notification) can be solved through different apps. But why should I?
edit: forgot to add that there is no stock android music widget (or any at all) in the widget list
i just love touchwiz no complains

i heard that touchwiz will be updated to have 3*3 icons due to apple patent infringement.
and i heard that galaxy s will have ics without touchwiz like galaxy nexus.
i hope galaxy s2 get a non touchwiz ics update
1. Is it SO hard to move your finger two centimeters on any direction? Try other phones (HTC, Nexus).
2. Yes, it's quite good for most people. I don't really like it and i use Adw Launcher Ex. There's a lot free alternatives too.
3. What's wrong with these fonts? Are you aware of "Themes" section on this forum?
4. Yes, i totally agree on that one. It's an ifone rip off. On older ROMs at least we had an option to change theme, now it's gone. The only thing that really bugs me so much.
5. Pictures are fine for me and dialer app too. Would love to have an option to jump straight into favorites, instead of all contacts, though.
6. Yes and i love it! BTW, you can click "Menu" and disable it in no time.
7. That's slightly modded stock Android gallery and it's performance depends on amount of media files you have. Also, i guess you have some cheap class 2 SD card. And again, you can use QuickPic from Market, it's free and very fast.
8. I guess you meant "," not "." Yes, that's why i use Gingerbread Keyboard. Again, free on Market.
9. There's is an option to deactivate vibration for keyboard only. Settings - Language and keyboard - Samsung keyboard.
10. Personaly i love every single of them. Again, you can change any icon on this phone the way YOU like. It's Android
11-13 BS. Don't like them - don't use. Simple as that. And try some HTC phone and you will be surprised to find about 20 times more of bloatware.
14. Open browser - settings - auto-fit pages.
As i can see, you don't like every single bit on this phone. Why did you buy it? There's a good bunch of other phones.
And one tip: learn to use your phone, before blaming Samsung
I agree with some of your points, OP.
But the BIGGEST thing (at least in my experience) was how crappy Touchwiz performed compared to AOSP. Again, this is at least in my experience.
I hear good things about TW4 though.... I hope it's true!

Sorry, but I'm not seeing anything other than opinion. The vast majority of people actually really like TW on the S2, rating it higher than the other launchers. As for Sense, that's just another Launcher. You may as well start a thread for your favourite word processor, stating how it's better than the others, and then one explaining why you really like a certain art package or database app.
So you prefer Sense to TW. You should have a HTC phone then, not a Samsung one.

[Q] Any idea if the following annoyances of SII are fixed in SIII

No text reflow in stock browser
click on location in calendar widget does not go to google map
cannot scroll to next month, etc in calendar widget
Picture taken by camera has nothing to do with what you see on screen

the issues with text reflow arent an SGS issue, its an apk issue. the default browser just blows.. why are you using it anyway? Dolphin or Opera are the way to go man. and Opera Mobile has flawless text reflow
sorry the calender app is sucking for you, this one IS samsungs fault, maybe theyll fix it on the SIII, but you could always try a new calender app from the market.
pictures taken by camera has nothing to do with what you see on screen, [email protected] yes this is fixed, its called "ZERO SHUTTER LAG" and it makes me veryyyy happy. what you see on screen when you snap a picture is exactly what youll see when you take a picture.
HOWEVERRRR, if you want a fix for your S2 right now, i got one. download Fast Burst camera app from the market, it can take like 20 pictures a second, and what you see IS what you get. rapidly snap the shutter button, or hold it down for a DSLR machine gun sounding shutter attack haha, this is the camera you wanna use to catch fast shots, like your dog jumping, or someone flipping a coin. things beast

Yeah, but what annoys me is that HTC phones have a great stock browser *with text reflow* and the calendar is brilliant.
Surely Samsung should address this usability issues before getting on the flashy gestures functionalities...
Also remember that Dolphin recorded and sent to the mothership the list of web sites you visited. They allegedly "corrected" that. But after such a security blunder I will never use their products again...

The text reflow in stock browser was a setting you can change. If you go to your settings, there should be a "Auto-fit pages" that's unchecked by default (at least for Samsung ROMs). I think by default, it's checked for other phones/ROMs.
I haven't flashed my SGSII with the Samsung stock ICS ROM, so I can't speak to that... but it's there for all of the Gingerbread Samsung ROMs I had. (I'm currently on CM9).
I can flash back to a Samsung ICS ROM to verify.
UPDATE: I'm on the stock SGS2 ICS TW ROM, and verified: In the browser, hit the menu button, Settings, Advanced, Auto-fit pages. That will control if the text reflows or not.
Now the thing that irks me on SGSII (again with Gingerbread Samsung ROMs) is there's no touch-to-focus while taking a video. The HTC One X/S, iPhone, and Moto Razr has this feature, so not sure why Samsung left it out. I hope they put it in the SGS3 TW ROM.
It irks me that it's not in the Google stock ICS builds (CM9, built from source, GNex, etc). This is, of course, a problem stemmed from Google's own source code. All those nice features (pano, snapshot while videoing, but no touch-focus while videoing).
The video autofocus is not reliable.

That option switches on text reflow only when you double tap to zoom. There is still no text reflow on pinch-to-zoom.
It's quite annoying when browsing forums and in general sites with lots of text content
I'll try Quick ICS, it sounds promising.
The thing is, I wanna get a SIII but I have to admit that between Sensation and SII the user experience for me was better on the sensation, it just felt tighter. It's the small things... I'll have a play as soon as it hits the shops!

Ah, I see. You're correct on that. Is this behavior also on the Chrome browser?

Couple questions about my new Galaxy S3...

So far I love the phone. This is the only phone I've had in a long time where I haven't wanted to load a custom rom the day I got it. There's just one thing I don't know if there's an option for, and something else I'd like to change that I hope it easy being rooted.
1. Is there a way to make the vibrate patterns apply to text messages? So far they only seem to apply to incoming calls.
2. The little dots on the bottom that show what page I'm on. Can I get rid of those or move them to the top of the screen?
ok, there's a 3rd I guess. The green phone icon, is there an EASY way to change that? Not thrilled about a couple others either like the contacts one. Don't know if there's a simple way to go in and swap out the image file for a different one or not. On my Galaxy tablet I was able to go in and create custom icons on the computer and use a program on the tab to select what program I wanted it to open, but that was a long time ago and I forgot how to do it, or what programs I used. If that's what it comes down too though, guess that's what I'll have to do. Just wanted to know if there was an easier way. I don't mind the icons themselves, just the colors. Not a fan of green or orange. Blue would be nice.
Thanks in advance for any help on these. Besides this stuff, absolutely LOVE the phone...
hope this helps...
1. I don't see any place in the touchwiz messaging app's settings to customize the vibrate pattern for texts... some possible solutions would be a custom ROM with the stock google messaging app rather than the touchwiz app, or somewhat less extreme would be to install a 3rd party texting client from the play store and see if that setting is present in that app.
2. I'm not sure if the touchwiz launcher allows you to hide or remove those little indicator dots, but you can open up a million options for homescreen launcher settings by installing a 3rd party launcher from the play store like Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Currently I'm using Apex and it is great (still rocking the stock experience until CM9 gets a stable release).
3. As for changing icons like the phone, calendar, calculator, etc. This is another thing that can be customized using a launcher like Apex.

1. Have heard others complain of this issue, so I don't believe that there a way to do it. Don't use that feature myself so...
2. Again, I'm not sure, but I think you're stuck with them. You could use a launcher that allows more customization. I like apex.
3. Download an app called "icon changer" and a icon pack or theme with the icons you would like to use. You can then open the application and select the app you want to change the icon of and pick a new icon. It will create a shortcut of the app with the custom icon on your home screen. Great for changing icons on your home screen if you want to remain using TW. If you decide to use an alternate launcher like apex this feature is already integrated and you have the ability to switch the icons within the app drawer as well.

Thanks for the quick replies. Trying to stay away from a custom rom on this phone. There's just nothing I'm really unhappy with that much. There's always something that goes wrong when I load one. Not saying there's ANYTHING wrong with the roms themselves, there's just not that much on this phone I'm not happy with, unlike phones I've had in the past. I'm coming from a Desire.
Thanks for the Icon Changer app also. Changing them on my tablet was a pain in the butt, this was nice and simple. Any way you know the dimensions of the icons though so I can create some of my own?
