AOSP Camera idea. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright now here's my idea:
The AOSP camera is nice and all, but I know for those of us that are on cm10 or cm9, really miss the functionality and look of the sense camera or the like. So I thought of a nice solution.When you open the AOSP camera you are presented with a big, ugly dock shown here:
{
"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"
}
(The dock being where the settings and buttons are held)
Now, My idea is that we could possibly delete the backgrounds for the bottom dock, and fill it in with camera space. Basically widening the viewing angles. If this is possible, I would love for someone to help me with this. The camera WOULD definitely look better. Although we won't have the same functionality as the sense camera or the like, but we will improve the AOSP camera.
Thank you for reading! And if you would like to help with this, please tell me down below.
PS. Mods if this is in the wrong section please move it. Wasn't sure which one so I posted in Q&A.

Isn't that what they did with the camcorder in CM7? I love how it looks! haha

Do i understand correctly? You just want to make the dock transparent instead of black right?

Yep, this happened with the CM7 camera app.
I'm sure the devs will get round to doing something similar with the new camera app eventually

Yes, and have it be filled in with the camera. Basically.

Easiest way would be to decompile and fine the PNG file.. most probably a .9.png and change the transparency to 0%

What AOSP camera is showing on the screen is the native size of the image sensor. Sense camera actually crops the image yo fit into the screens dimensions. Just compare the resolution of a picture from sense to AOSP. Making the png transparent will not solve anything as it is not covering up anything.
P.S. If you really want the wide screen pictures there are apps that do that. My favorite is ICS Camera+

Tried ICS Camera+, still not what I'm looking for. Yes the features are nice, but I hate that big dock still. Anyone think of a way that might make sense? haha

i think we need a XML programmer to edit the .xml and .png files inside the apk :? not sure though... someone must take the initiative if we ever want some change here...

Sorry, that's disgusting at tablet size
I've been wondering how this works out on NC. I'd like to see videos of it sometime.

Correction - at any size.
Metro UI is horrible, and hope it dies sooner rather than later...
Personally, I kind of like how boxy and simple it is, but hey, no accounting for taste. I'm mostly concerned about the resolution and how it functions in NC, specifically. Thanks for the heads-up, Hüsker Pat.

I tried it as well - it is just a waste of the huge screen real estate.
Putting some interesting widgets and and a bunch of icons (shortcuts) is more useful than this...
But I can see the appeal - on phone screens.
But then again, some like it simple.

I have been using this for a few weeks now. It is a really neat and tidy launcher. It is also really easy to download pictures, resize and load them onto the launcher - all within the tablet. Makes it look good and gives access to favorite programs.
I have attached a screenshots which show use of photos for app launching. (edit Colours came out with a funny blue tinge :/)

Yeah, lets hope that everything that we don't personally like DIES! Who cares that others like it? My opinion is all that is important.
Diversity is what makes life interesting & those who embrace new or different paths or even encourage diverse & differing interests are the catalyst for invention & creativity. IMO
Cheers,

Have you done the book tile by yourself or do you have a good download link for tiles.
I like this launcher a lot, it´s so easy to use and customize.

specifically im looking for something with modified bubble colors that look appealing. im sick of the yellow and blue. i like the one in ur theme except for the green text and the boring old bubble colors. an example would be something like this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055605 . as you can see it makes the app look alot nicer. i would use this one but it force closes on the fascinate every time i open it. i mean im not necessarily looking for something exactly like whats in the link, just something different in general.

It's because your original image is 800×500px, not 1280x800 (or 1280x1600 for scrolling) which is what it needs to be to avoid scaling. Here's my 30 second effort. Post the correct resolution photo if you want it to look clean on your phone.

Question regarding spacing between icons

Hey guys,
Sorry for the bunch of questions in recent days. I'm new a this while being fairly compulsive. Ok so let's make use of the ability to make screen shot. In the picture below, apps on the left are from stock touch wiz, and the second set of icons (more to the right) are from the TW SIII mod from pale horse. As you can see, apps on the right have much more space between them then on the left. Is there anyway for me to make it so apps on the right have the same space between them than apps on the left? It is very obsessive of me I know.
Thank you
Install the Apex launcher. Then you can change the grid of your desktop to any spacing that suits you.
And this is for caring about icon spacing. . .

What did you do to fix this?
Another thing Apex can do is let you resize icons. Maybe that could help?
And you know the CDO picture was strictly a joke - not trying to do anything here but assist.
That was a good one ranger...LOL
And yes....we need a sense of humor around here once in a while....g
Right? You know sometimes you can get someone's undies in a bunch by just saying hi.
Ahah no worries I can take a joke. I embed up doing nothing. Apex had the same problem so I just took a deep breath and accepted things as they are.

Did you browse the Homescreen thread? Maybe you can see a solution there. Anyone there will share their setup with you.

I use SSLauncher, and do whatever I like with the homescreen(s). Spacing, resizable widgets, etc.... SSLauncher=freedom!
from the looks of your photo something was changed other then just icons. your homescreen indicators and wallpaper dont line up. you can try changing your screen density to something larger to fill in the gaps. stock is 320. i use apex like ranger recomended and hide icon labels then change grid size. i use 8x5 and this makes all my icons very close(i also use text for icons rather then pictures). you should play around with it. pro version also lets you resize and overlap widgets so you can get icons close but still have widgets look like they should.

Just download some photo editing app, like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixlr.express and you can change it to what ever color you want
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
That orange would be insanely hard to convert to match what the op is requesting without the source PSD. These are obviously done in layer groups with light gradients on layer each to give it a more 3D affect. Too many color shifts and gradients to simply convert it.
I have been looking for this wallpaper now too for a while but can't find it either. Closest thing I could find was the greenish-yellow one from this thread, I even asked about this particular wallpaper, but nobody responded. If anybody can find it or even make it I would also throw up some thanks

It's not really that bad to recolor anything, just takes a bit of time of adjusting color, vibrance, hues, other hoopla. I just gave it a whirl on a different, yet similar wallpaper. Not the best as I usually don't mess with color values all that much but I thought it was pretty good for 5 minutes :laugh:
