[MOD]On Screen Buttons - Stock ICS - Xperia Arc Themes and Apps

These are the on screen buttons for stock ics. They are same size as originals. If anyone wants any different sizes just ask.

Thank you very much. This mod is not good for stock home.apk but if you use another launcher eg. Samsung Touchviz S3(port) or Nova it will fit well.

Yeah thanks a lot!

PIC demo please??????????????????

Ok, now I ask you.
Can you please make a different size for us.
The normal one is perfect for 3rd party launcher but the buttons cover little bit the "hang up" button after call. So please make it little bit smaller (less tall) if you can, please

sorry for late reply. was busy. Ill make it right now.
original size is around 45dip if I remember correct. this one is 35 so let me know how it is. I cant test it as I don't want to keep changing it. If you want it smaller or larger then ill do it by request.

It would be nice if it likes three icon on the hard key. Sory for my english
One more thing. Can you do a transparent status bar?

if you want different icons then you must edit systemui.apk not framework-res.apk.

Ive tried it

will try go to 22 then. Since 14 is too small according to some users.

heres 22dip.

Sory soldiers! When i use first file from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664625
It pull up the dock. Not over likes yours. Here is screen

no problem. I just need to know the right size. I myself use 14 but people complained it was too small.

Thanks a lot!!!
Is it possible that you make even with the extra more 2 buttons?
I saw it on an HD2 ICS rom once!

Thanks soldier and frame-work on your built it suilt for lockscreen cycle wave or slide?? I hope you will make a version for Framework-res wave cycle
This is my framework wave cycle: here Thanks in advance!

[Q] [REQ] Help making a CHT2.0 Clock Widget

I would like to make this watch into a CHT 2.0 Clock Widget. I am not good at graphics at all, and need some help. I know we will need a face, hour hand, minute hand, second hand, and date wheel. Also if someone can direct me in how to make this all functioning, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
David
Ok, I have done a little editing, here is what I have so far.

Well there is good news.. you dont need to make a widget.. just skin an old one.. so 99% of the work is already done
Bad news.. time to do your 1% You need to put the watch in your favorite photoeditor and make a copy of it with no hands.. erase replace.. and get it so where there is one clear face with no hands at all..
Then.. pull some more layers where you have the hands seperate.
So now you have 3 to 4 files.. Face/Hour/Minute/?Seconds
If you get the 1% done..ill help you skin someone elses widget

sgs2 screen proplem

hi guys
sense i got my sgs2 from 10 days ago
the screen isnt good like the sgs1
i dont know why the colors isnt good as the samsung galaxy s1
it brighter but not better
on my sgs2 the colors is worst and i dont like it
is there any app in market that can let me know if there is something wrong ?
please give me some tips or solutions to know if there is something wrong with my screen
thanks in advance
If it that bad then it sounds like the display is faulty.
Well when I first saw the GSII screen I too thought it is bad, poor than my old S8500. Then eyes got adjusted with it.
But I, personally would say S-AMOLED was much crisper than S-AMOLED Plus. Maybe extra details are there in Plus, but I liked the old version better.
Also make sure you aren't using the Movie settings as Background effect, it's bloody poor.
Regards.
im really confused now ...
can any one do those steps please and let me know if its just my device or others are having the same thing please ( open for example messanging and then open new messag ok ?
now on ur keyboard there is a button for voice typing
click it

( on my device the colorse isnt good i see there is a diffrence in the greyness of the colore )
and also alot of thing there is like u see lines between the colors
so guys do u have the same ?
thanks in advance

[Q] Telus/T-Mo Amaze vs SGIIX landscape keyboard

Hello all,
I'm trying to decide between the Amaze and the SGII from Telus, and the most important thing to me is the size of the keys and how well both work in landscape mode. I have large hands, and I will be doing a lot of texting and e-mailing from my phone as I do use my phones as business tools as well. It doesn't matter that one might have a slightly better camera than the other, or that one is a slightly superior movie viewing experience. I have always had physical keyboards, so it will take some getting used to lifting my thumbs between each keystroke already.
The dealers around where I live have all been reluctant to let me see both side by side, but it seems to me that the Amaze, despite being a smaller screen, actually has larger keys in landscape mode. Is anyone able to confirm this? Thanks to any that can shed light on this.
Telus dealer's should have no problem letting you see them side by side. At first they didn't want to let me handle either one of them but when I told them that I'm not about to sign a 3 year contract without looking at what I'm getting they agreed and allowed me to play with both.
As to your question, it seems to me that the Telus keyboard is bigger and easier to manage, but since that wasn't the focus of what I was looking at, I'm just going from (a rather poor) memory. I'd go back to a store and TELL them you want to see both phones.
Yeah the Telus I went to they let me try out the Amaze. They got one from the back that wasn't connected to anything. They just handed it to me and left me alone to play with it. I could have just ran out with a working phone. I compared the two but I never tried landscape. I would think the Samsung has a bigger keyboard because the screen is bigger, the resolution is lower so things are stretched out more.
i just got my amaze from telus (upgrading from desire hd) and i notice a HUGE difference in the ease of the keyboard. number 1 the duel core makes it keep up as i type fast, unlike the ****ty 1ghrtz on the DHD which wud be a bit behind, and the letters blow up a bit bigger to i think cause im finding it MUCH easier to type on the amaze. oh ya the swipe keyboard is awesome to once you get the hang of it
Thanks for the info guys. For some reason they always put one away before taking the other one out. Maybe I look like I'm going to take one and run out, guess I'll have to be more insistent.
I also noticed that the Samsung's keyboard doesn't have a comma, that you have to go to the # screen to get to it. I'm guessing that I'll be able to find one on the market that has it.

Are you sure the comma isn't somewhere on the keyboard above one of the other letters? I know that at first on the Amaze keyboard I was going into the # screen to get to the question mark, then I realized that I can press and hold the "k" to get the question mark. Samsung may be similar. Have a look.

There probably is one that's a long press, I meant a dedicated key without having to resort to a long press. Guess it's just one of those things I'm going to get used to coming from a physical keyboard.
Oh, and thanks for mentioning the question mark. Now I'm going to obsess about looking for an easy way to get to that

Coming from a physical keyboard can be difficult. I came from a physical keyboard (samsung slide) to touch on the Hero. I never really got used to it on that phone. The keys were so small even in landscape. I'm finding a huge difference with the Amaze. Way easier on the bigger screen.
I'm hoping the larger keys will make the transition. Thanks for your input. I see you're from the greatest city in the world (yes I'm a Surrey boy). It was the Apex in Langley, and the Telus store by the WalMart on 64th that didn't want me to see both at the same time.
I went to Best Buy and they let me see both side by side after a little coaxing. And yeah....I'm not too proud to admit I'm from Surrey. Not all of us are riot crashers.
Went back to Apex, finally got someone to show me both. The SGII's landscape keyboard is bigger than the Amaze's, about 3x2 mm bigger. Enough of a difference for me. In portrait mode, not even close, the SGII's was about 20% larger. Might actually be useable for me and my monster hands. The Amaze's camera was definitely better, but I was surprised to see some shooting modes missing that the T-mo version has.
I'd be happy with either, I'm sure, but I have to go with the SGII for the larger keyboards. Thanks to those who lent their input, I appreciate it.
Amaze Keyboard
Just thought I'd suggest the "Gingerbread Keyboard" from Steven Lin on the market.
Honestly one of the best keyboards I've ever used, coming from the MT4G.
Haven't had a chance to try it on the Amaze but will do sometime soon.
Let me know if you like it any better or if it even works on the Amaze.

I had a look at that keyboard on my Amaze and it actually makes the keys smaller. Particularly in portrait. The bonus to that keyboard though is the addition of a row along the top with all the punctuation. That is a useful feature. Too bad it was added at the expense of key size.

Oh really? That sucks. =( I do like that keyboard a lot.
Been using it for a year already on my MT4G. I do love the punctuation though.
The word selection comes easier for me too. Auto correct I mean.
I also like that after selecting a word it automatically spaces for me to start
typing my next word. And spacing twice puts a period. Holding enter brings up smiley faces. The list goes on. I may install on my Amaze anyway and see how I like it.
Thanks for the feedback though.

[Q] LCD Density

Hi,
Have just bought the Xperia S and is still under warranty, so don't want to tamper by unlocking the bootloader yet, not for a couple of months at least. Anyways I'm quite happy with the stock ROM, bloatware and all!!
However, the only thing I'm unhappy about, is the LCD density. I'm used to a value of 160 (on my old warhorse HTC HD2 with TyphooN_CM7_v3.7.0-MAGLDR - Android 2.3.7). Now, I know it's a silly question, but is there ANY way I can alter the LCD Density without rooting it??
Thanks,
JK

Not with out root, but i messed about with that setting myself and changing it messes things up.
Things like the text/images on some menus dont fit right anymore or are off the bottom of the screen.
Its best to leave it as it is really

What value are you trying it at? Try 220 or 160 (I'm not sure of this value on the XS - TREAD CAREFULLY). My HTC had some problems, including unavailability of Google Play downloads, but a value of 160 did the trick.

Default Density in buid.prop is 320 if i change it to 300 things are to small to fill the screen and if i go up to 330 things are to big to fit on the screen.

ICS should offer the ability to change font size, which is probably preferable to changing the screen density - with the problems with how other things fit (or don't fit) the screen.
Does anyone use the BBC News widget/app? For some reason on all Xperia models, I only get one line of text on headlines. On other models, you get two. It's clearly a fault of the app, but suggests an issue with the font Sony (Ericsson) uses. Again, I hope that ICS might fix this with the Roboto font.

I think I'll leave things as they are and wait for ICS. Could you please post some screenshots showing how it looks when you change the density? Just curious.

Happy with the hardware, not happy with the software

I love this new phone. Yes, I wish they would have built a bigger battery in there even it it would make it a little thicker and The bezels could have smaller on the sides and waaaaaaaay smaller on top and bottom. But overall, I like it, it's huge and this is what i want in a my one device. I want something that is still pocketable but as big as can possibly be (we arent there yet) and still handle my phone calls.
The software is missing a bunch of stuff. Yes, great, its not bogged down like I've been used to with Samsung, great, but come on... Why arent the software buttons customizable? Why isn't there a little button every time i hit a sound key to expand the volume menu to let me change all the different volumes (ringer/alarm/media)? I have to dig through setting to get to that... Why cant I$%#* longpress the icons in the quicksettings to bring me to the menu for that setting...
I feel like theres so much missing... a lot of things I'm used to from all the samsung phones I had. And I don't mean the gimmicky features.
A lot of these things are ideas that either google would come up with or any of the custom rom devs thought up. Samsung pays attentions and steals the good ideas for their phones... why doesn't sony??
I also with they had the knockon feature that LG has because i was used to having a button on the front and I hate having to press on the side...
I guess this doesn't matter anyway because as soon as @krabappel2548 has the main kinks worked out of the 4.4 builds, I'm jumping ship anyway. But either way, Sony really disappointed me...
FYI, I've been using these 2 apps since I got the phone, one lets you add stuff to the nav bar which is great, you cant get rid of the dedicated ones but you can put new stuff directly on top of them, And the second one is so i don't have to keep pressing the power button on the side you just wave your hand over it and it turns on (I've found that the best way to use it is to just run your hand over the sensor and that seems to work pretty well. It also always turns on by itself when I take it out of my pocket)

The Xperia Tablet Z has the double-tap to wake feature. Funny how much I miss it from the Ultra.
Don't want to have to install a separate app either!

Not really sure how to do that... and anyway, once I install omni, most of it will come built in. I'm just disappointed in the out of the box limitations.
If you want a phone with more features buy LG G2, it's better than Samsung phones and also has highly customizable UI but heaver than Sony's one.

So essentially you're blaming Google for not equipping Android with TouchWiz features from the first place.. right..
Sony is known for the simple and elegant to navigate UI. So if you want all the bells and whistles you could always opt for xposed modules. Better to add an app rather than carrying all the bloat in the first place.
Knock on feature should be there for TabletZ because it is a huge device so looking down the power button would take too long. the LG G2 was in a different, worse problem (button on the back) but XZU buttons is clearly felt just by handling the device even in one hand so i agree there's no reason to put such solution.
