[Q] Android and Landscape mode - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, Since i have an android device and tried some roms for this device (HTC One S)and its dissapointing to see that landscape mode is so lacking in the space that could have been used in messaging apps.
Its quite annoying (for me atleast) to have to withdraw my keyboard whilst typing something because the one i am texting with has sent something new.
I understand that this is not a place for requests, so my question is, is there any way to make messaging look like this (this image is not real)
{
"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"
}
and not like this..
Im not looking for a specific rom that allows this, im just looking for anything that makes this possible on any rom.
Thanks in advance!

Go keyboard does this, assuming you're willing to use it.
Also, is that the default ICS keyboard? I like the design.

Yeah it is the Stock ICS keyboard, its the best keyboard out there imo
And Thanks, i'll have a look into that Go Keyboard and see if i am willing to use it.
On a sidenote, isn't it kind of odd that this relies on what keyboard you use rather than using whatever keyboard you like and being able to do this ?

There are some of those keyboards where they divide on both sides, those may be something you want to look into

[Q] Any way to customize stock Android call screen

Hello!
Is there ay possibilities to customize the stock caller screen (on Oxygen 2.2.2).
E.g.: changing the background from the greyish black to the current wallpaper?
Or replace it with the something like in MIUI?
Thanks!
Yes, install a custom rom

Well, guess what, I have a custom ROM.
You should've read my post before replying.
I mean from 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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
to this:
I know i checked out a program called Full Screen Caller ID, and that changed the calling screen. It (like the name says) made the contact picture full screen. Unfortunatly it acted weird, so i removed it.
But if that exists, something you want must exist to on the app market?
I tried that well, but I don't want to have full screen IDs.
Probably Themers will know what to change and where - probably something in one of the .xmls
any update on this?
did you ever find a way to customize call screen. I am looking specifically for a way to input other than just keypad while in a call. Even just paste would be good enough, but input from contacts would be great. I have tried HD callscreen, which can certainly modify the call screen, but it does not have any input options.

[Q] [Q/MOD] Samsung Smart Dialer on O1: porting possible ?

Hi everyone!
Just here to ask: is it possible to have the Samsung' Smart Dialer on our O1?
Since the resolution are different, it must be resized, right?
I'm asking that because I really like its big numbers
Thanks in advance

No... We need to port tw-framework-res.apk.... Is kinda hard...
what is the samsung smart dialer? does it mean the small list of contacts in the
dialer window?
Maybe I have explained that wrong: I would like to change even only the numeric keypad to have one like this

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just because it'd really better than the stock one of mik's cm7
Even if someone of you know a app with the right skin to apply, it could be a workaround

This can be done by plain theming... decompile phone.apk and replace the pngz..

[Q] imageButton with text

Hello, i hope i'm in the right section.
I need some help with display within a game project. I did some research and i can't find a convenient answer. I want to use imageButtons and not just Buttons. I currently use setImageResource (drawable) for my unit and setBackgroundResource (drawable) for background.
I'm missing some info on the screen, let's say HP for an unit or any kind of text.
Here's what it looks like :
I want to have something like this :

Thanks for your time

While i'm not completly sure (my month of devolpment hasnt gotten me that far) you should be able to edit the acutal image that you have for the charectors with image editing software like gimp. You just go to the add text tool and add the text that you want to. I will edit this post if i find a more efficent way of doing this.

[APP][KEYBOARD] Slice keyboard it will blow your mind

One of the biggest benefits of Android is, and always has been, the plethora of
available software keyboards. Don't like stock? No problem - there's something
out there that will make your typing experience suck less. But what works great
on phones may not be so hot on a large-screen devices like a tablets, so there's
basically a whole subset of keyboards - or at least keyboard layouts - in that arena.
Enter a newcomer to the tablet keyboard ring: Slice. This keyboard... well, it's insane.
Just watch.
Unique? Definitely. Brain-melting? Without question. Practical? You can be the judge
of that one. There's a demo version of Slice in the Store so you can give it a shot, and
the full version will set you back a five spot if you're ready to commit. If nothing else, you
can use it to play Space Invaders.

Also i am not the creator of this trippy keyboard i am simply sharing for like minded people

It will all depend on how well the spell check and word prediction is. Right now i've yet to find anything that can touch swiftkey.
I watched this couple of says ago, it would certainly screw with people's heads if nothing else.

Twrp's keyboard

Hey guys, after several research and various holes in the water I open this theard to ask if anyone knows a way to get the keyboard used in twrp recovery .. I know, there are keyboards like "hacker's keyboard" but the one used in twrp is simple and looks awsome.
Is there a way to transport it in apk or zip to flash?
Thanks

I'm in the same situation, I love it!
Hi,
This is probably what you're looking for: https://github.com/mgood7123/TWRP-Team-Win-Recovery-Project-Keyboard/releases. Seems to be in early development.

Is it trusted? I don't have knowledge about programming and can someone examine the source code for non-developers? @The_Walking_Playground

Hi,
The keyboard itself seems to work, and it doesnt request any permissions, so it should be safe to use. Its just currently incomplete. I typed this post with it.

I think developer didn't complete that app because it has some bugs. Let's wait stable version.
I love the twrp recovery keyboard. Very simple, bright white and dark layout, simply awesome. I have been searching it for long time. Please guys help us to get that keyboard.
