i am entirely new to this forum, ignore me if what i am asking is stupid, i have some simple questions. i am using supernexus JB ROM and it is working smoothly, but having hard time using phone app, i know there are a lot of talented developpers who could fix this.
1. Since i777 is a large screen it is hard to use with 1 hand, especially while using phone app, is there a way someone could modify the phone app so that all tabs are in the bottom rather than on the top so it will be easy to navigate, also if a favorites tab could be added and like in gingerbread phone app where we can see alphabets listed on the left side so we can scroll through and also right swipe for call and lt swipe for message which is classic to att galaxy s 2.
I feel that it is JB stock phone app and that is how it is designed but with all the amazing developpers could someone make a new phone app to install in my phone.

Have you tried any of the dialers on the play store? There are quite a few and probably one to fit your needs.
That solved the problem, guess my noob brain did even think about it thank you very much CALLMEARIA for or help.

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

If you have a vibrant running stock froyo.ka6 you can try this screen capture app from the market:

Hmmmm it seems like StevenJCarney might be correct. Like he said it seems like it happens when peoples phones lock up & it could be a bug.
Hope it isnt a bug & someone is able to figure it out.
Same exact thing here. It really sucks an app has to crash to use it.

If you have a rooted phone you can just use an app called screenshot which works perfectly. And it's free.

I had an app on iOS that whenever a call came in, it didn't take up the whole screen. It only showed up on top, similar to the iOS 5 notifications. There are times I don't feel like answering a call when using my phone and I don't want to reject it because then they would know. Is there an app that can stop incoming calls from using the whole screen on android?

The only thing I can think of is a stock feature on CM7. It only gives you a status bar notification that you have an incoming call. I'm not sure if there are apps for that, but I'd imagine not.
I'm trying to stay away from CM7. I'm on UnNamed. How has a dev still not put something like this together?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
It involves modding the framework. CM7 has a modded framework, that's why it has it.
It isn't easy to implement and requires actual coding, not something normal ROM developers can do.

Yes, there is an app on the Google Play store called Small Call. Its does the same thing CallBar does but for Android and it works pretty well. I downloaded it on my S3 and its the app on my phone I use the most.
Small call is OK. I have had issues with it. Also I don't think it has a quick call feature like callbar does

stock SMS app may not natively. Best bet is to grab an alternative from play store like "handcent" or "go".

I hear ya.. have you tried hand cent? HIGHLY customizable. You can make it look HOWEVER you want with, seriously. Also like I said, stock messeging app may not wake the phone up natively. You could be waiting for a fix that isn't need or gonna happen. Also, play store MIGHT have an app to wake phone upon notification..

THIS INCLUDES MODIFYING BUILD.PROP AND SYNAPTICS-RMI-TOUCHSCREEN.KL SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS!!
I thought i might share this to everyone since i tested it and it works nicely for me so far
1) Go to your build.prop using root explorer or any app that allows access to system files
2) Go to the bottom of the file, and enter the following without the quotes "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP IN CASE SOMETHING DOESNT WORK OUT)
3) Find "Synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl" located at (system>usr>keylayout) that controls the capacitive keys. Delete everything by editing it with a text editor
4) Reboot and you should have softkeys with the capacitive ones disabled
*I used this app http://goo.gl/JUWqs to disable the capacitive lights*
**If you wish to kepp the capacitive keys enabled skip step 3**
**to Reverse this just replace the build.prop with your backup and replace your Synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl with your backup**
Enjoy
This would be great in conjunction with enabling some gestures in the capacitive area a la WebOS

Okay, so on any jelly bean device with soft keys, pushing up from the home soft key brings up a little ring with google now on it. Is there any way to enable this functionality with the hardware keys? It's kind of weird having both hardware and soft keys but I really like this functionality.
Any way to shrink the height of the nav bar? It's a bit too tall for my liking.

That's odd. I was able to disable the lights. I have my PAC-Rom on Phablet mode. The app allowed me to shut them off and I was wondering, now that we got soft keys, I kinda want to cover the capacitive light with like, tape or something so I don't have to constantly look at them. haha, did any of you guys do anything to cover them or were just like whatever about it?

If you have activated Multiwindow in notification panel then to open it you have to push and hold "Back" touchkey under your screen (to the right from Home key). You will see then semicircular tab on the edge of screen. Pull it and you will have MW side screen open.
Every time where this tab disappears from your screen it's enough to push and hold "Back" key again.
ok wait for trying that...
I am also tired to doing that. It just seem error... and Error..:crying:

again, I am so sorry if I come off abrasive. it must be your nationality and the structure of your language which is making translation difficult. I have seen you posting an awful lot here lately and sometimes wonder if you are just trying to boost your post count for whatever reason.
anyway, regarding your issue you post about here.........
first of all, I have yet to see you post as to your specific variant of device. if it has anything to do with how this option is activated, you never know, specifics can sometimes mean the difference. you sound as if you don't even know your own device.
as previously suggested, use the 2 finger dropdown to open the toggle option. you should see a marker of sort appear on side of your screen. tap that and applications will then be shown. press on an app, then drag and drop in upper or lower half of screen. so simple, even I figured it out.
if you need a video..........run a search. I did on Youtube and 4 videos cames up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a02G-RcvQs4
your supposed to be a senior member here.......put your self in a position to help yourself first. if you still have difficulty, folks can tell and are more than happy to help. I don't get the impression you are doing that.
I am no master here by any means, but more often than not, I can figure things out.
good luck and if your issue is solved, please post in your heading.
