[Q] Changing Email Background - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I posted this in the international section and thought I would post it here as well. Is it possible to change the background of the email app so that it reads as black on white instead of white on black? I saw you could do this with the messaging app and the GMail app has a white background.

Go into a specific email. Menu key, change text and background

Yeah I did mean the inbox background. If nothing else I can install the stock ICS email app but would like to see if i could accomplish this with the stock app.

Useng the search box, top right corner of XDA page, for "black facebook" resulted in more than a couple links. Find the one that suits your needs.
I seldom use the website. I guess I need to start using it.
Thanks for the heads up.

you can download glass widgets from the market and give that a try.
If your phone has a black theme it will be black.
Unless a dev does a black themed fb.
Cheers!!!
I would do it but I need the apk. I have a newer version an you.
Heres the APK file.
Let me know what i can do to help thanks!

I use Handcent from the market and you can configure the app to look anyway you like.
Id like to have this too. I tried the aosp app but it doesn't work with the lock screen. If someone could just tell me which file needs to be replaced or altered I can take care of it myself.

Deleting power saver from drop down bar

Is this possible to do? Its just a personal preference but it annoys me to be there all the time.

I searched for this too. Using Titanium Backup you can "Freeze" the app labeled "Power" under Backup/Restore. This will get rid of the notification button, but will also remove the "Battery" list in your android settings. I just downloaded a different battery app or widget to replace it.

Download the MoDaCo Toolkitfrom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245765
Then select enable button options. If you long press a notification you then receive a prompt to either force close or disable notifications. Thats what I did works great!

[Q]Is there any way to make it so the screen DOESN'T turn on with a new text message?

This is one of the things that I really don't like about iOS - the fact that the screen turns on and displays the message whenever it's received. No other Android phone I've used does this.
Is there any way to turn this off? I don't think it's in the settings; I've looked everywhere. Maybe a mod?
In the messaging app
Settings>notification settings>uncheck "screen on"

Thats really weird. I am on a custom rom though so maybe it was an edited sms app. what you could do is completely turn off notifications, download sms popup from the play store, and set sms popup to handle notifications. this has the added benefit of giving you a popup similar to cyanogenmod's messaging app. you would have to turn off screen on from notification in sms popups settings to get it working how you want.
Nice! That works perfect. Thanks

No Problem, glad I could help
The "screen on" option is only available from a custom ROM. I've since set up my whole device and I'm on the Hyper ROM which has the setting. I'm not sure why this isn't an option on plain stock, but at least I have it now.

The top-bar in the new app drawer doesn't match with all the
different themes so is there a way to remove it?
It just doesn't look right.....

Unfortunately not, we will soon add more functionality to the new app drawer to make it more user friendly, but it was decided that the new layout will be the most beneficial...
i think new app draweris more beautiful

While I agree that the new app drawer is far nicer...
I think sometime in the future adding the option to scroll apps vertically or horizontally would be nice.

yep it would be a good idea to be able to choose which way to scroll
Horizontal scrolling will be implemented in the future, but when we switched to the new setup, adding in this feature will be incredibly hard.
Once we are more stable and have more resources we will definitely start working on it
Any chance to get an option for a dark app drawer? This bright white one hurts my eyes.
