Hey guys (and gals),
Does anyone know if, and if so which, a different native/stock messaging app can replace the default one (recovery flashable zip or just apk) that will enable either FULL size MMS slideshow pics, or preferably "de-slideshow" them into clickable individual pictures? Kind of silly that it shows up on a phone with a 5.3" screen at 3/4 size...
I've tried the Handcent, GoSMS, Pansi, etc, and don't want/need the weight and customization abilities of them.
I have a friend with an HTC One S, and slideshows on his phone come up as simply as clickable individual pics. He is running a stock/unrooted phone.
Thanks folks,
Jack

I've never seen anything like this, but it'd be nice. Another SMS app is the slope sms app. Pretty cool, but idk if it has this feature or not.

i've searched the threads and have not really found a direct answer to what I was searching for.. thus created this
curious to know.. is the xperia x10i capable of achieving any of the following (or will be in the future)
a) instead of the arc scroll for unlocking.. something similar to the iphone (slide)
b) password input (num pad) instead of the draw pattern
c) I know the image size for the wallpaper has to be (appx) 900 x 600 for it to fit properly in the background.. but any chances of having an image which is LOCKED on each page and when you scroll to another page.. it doesnt change?
d) having a different wallpaper for when the phone is locked versus home screen
e) changing background of sms screen? inserting image & changing the font bubble for the sender and receiver of text messages
f) double click functions (similar to iphone) where a double click can perform certain tasks such as opening a smaller window of music and changing songs
-- this would also apply to when the phone is locked (once again.. like the iphone)
that's all I could think of for now haha.. cheers

You can do that with a decent launcher.

Handcent.
You should move on (emotionally).. and embrace the differences.. it's what makes the x10 an X10, and not an iphone... plus.. you'll find when you dig around on the market and search this forum, you'll find that as it's android you can customise it beyond your wildest dreams!! Especially compared to the limited changes you could make on the iphone.

to tell you the truth.. i'm loving it! (mcdonalds)
i'm comparing it to my old 8gb 3G iphone and the x10i blows it away.. the speed, the graphics and most importantly.. I GET RECEPTION EVERYWHERE.. impressive.
..and i'm curious to know what kind of customizations you are referring to.. because my dreams are pretty wild

I installed GOTO and a question regarding that.. on the lock screen.. it shows (default) text messages, call log and gmail.. can I customize those icons.. as in.. instead of what is presently there.. put text, dialer & music?
& is there any customized 'dailer' that you would recommend? default is pretty.. default lol
& ADW launcher decent? currently using that
I don't use GOTO so can't help with that, but I do use ADW and wouldn't use anything else, but I'm going to give Launcher Pro a whirl when we get the update.
Try SuperDial by Episode6 (off the market).. it's really good.
ADW is highly customisable - it will take you a while to uncover all it's wonders!.. first thing you need to do when you download it is go into the settings and switch off the "horizontal drawer" feature in the "Drawer settings" menu - doesn't work very well.. but the rest of it is really then down to you... and your wild imagination!!!
If you want to Root you can do even more, but I'm not that fussed about it personally (and I don't have that much spare time on my hands!)...
I downloaded DesktopVisualiser too (had to google that, couldn't find it on the market for some reason).. but that allows you to create your own icon (on your image editing software on your PC) and then assign an app shortcut to them - I created 4 red buttons for my actions buttons - at the bottom of ADW screen - for my 4 main acitvities - Call, Text, Email, Internet.. but you can also use photo's too..
Have fun!
oh.. and check this thread out... there's tonnes of ideas in here.. a lot of it is on rooted phones, but much of it can still be done on a non-rooted handset...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713391
you weren't kidding about superdial.. nice!
i've already rooted the xperia & used titaniumbackup to back everything up.. I guess the more I look into it the more I would be able to customize it (i'm on the same boat.. no time)
is there another software which I could use other than DesktopVisualiser to customize the icons? do you have a guide on how to do it with desktopvisualiser?
yeah that thread is nice but going through 124 pages might take a while
i'll put up some pics of my phone when I get a chance.. is shootme currently the best software to take phone snapshots or is there something better?
Hello all,
Loving my Atrix on Bell so far. Coming from a BB, it's a change for the better. Yes I managed to leave bbm and the tactile keyboard.
When I take a photo, is there a way to reduce the resolution to <100kb for upload to social networking sites / email / mms ?
Thanks for replying,
wrong section should be and will be moved to Q&A
To answer your question,
open the camera, while open press the menu button (the white 4 square botton on the bottom left of your screen), select settings and change the 'Picture Resolution' to Very Small; I was only able to get down to 250K, so you may still need to edit the picture with Adobe Photshop Express (available in market) to crop the picture to make it that small.
Moved to proper forum as not android development
You can manually change this in the settings within the camera application.
However if you want to take tlgrwat pictures and are worrying about them just being too large in general, the phone will automatically resize the picture so you can ssend it as a mms

Hi all,
is it possible to display new whatsapp messages directly on lockscreen? (like on ios? Display lights up if new message comes in and i can read message directly on lockscreen, thats what I want.
Bought some apps but nothing works fine :-(
Sorry for my poor Englisch...
For directly showing message on lock screen it depends on the ROM I think.
Is there any rom for my desire hd available?
I am using virtous quattro with ics at the moment.
You need to post this there.. I don't have desire. So, can't say.
I think widget locker is what you need. I use handcent for sms, and it gets through the lockscreen just like you describe.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
The lockscreen code is either part of the framework.jar or the systemui... and if the device is not rooted, you cannot change it.
If you are a programmer, what you could try is to create a new window (for example with the WindowManagerImpl hidden class) trying different window types: window types define the layer where the window will be placed. For some window types you might need some special permission (for example I think TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY will be placed above lockscreen, and it needs the SYSTEM_DIALOG permission)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Currently there isn't an (lockscreen-)app that allows that. If you are a programmer you can always try to make it yourself, like mentioned above. But be warned, it's going to be a hell to create it
I´m not a Android programme
There is an option in the settings of whatsapp "turn on the pop up messages" check that box n u are good to go
i know this option, but it´s still behind the lockscreen...
Hey guys!!
This pop-up message, allows you to answer the message even with the lock screen. I think it's a lack of security because anyone can answer it if you forget your phone somewhere.
I've already try to talk with the developers of Whatsapp, but with no success.
On iphone you can only read and unlock to answer.
That's right, the popup feature when set to 'always' or 'only when screen off' shows messages and I think even allows replying from the lockscreen. You can't go view the full convo without unlocking though. This is the way it works at least in the latest beta from http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

On flex's Rom currently but not sure if this is rom specific or what. I keep getting courtesy text saying the recipient has a size limit and might not receive the message when sending pics. It's been happening to people I KNOW I send pics to lately though. Is there maybe a setting I messed up?
Also, what size do I need to resize pictures to to make them wallpaper size? Is there an easy way to do this? I have photoshop on my PC but I really don't want to pul the pic, resize, put it back on my phone every time.
Thank you

Yeah I had that also change the mms max size to 1mb and you should be good to go
yea
set the mms size in options so it can compress it properly to a smaller size
Use the app wallpaper wizardrii its free in the play store its great at resizing and making minor adjustments to images for wallpapers i use it all the time for pics i find on google and such and also if you want to use photoshop the size is 1440x1280 for wallpapers i believe please if im wrong someone correct me

Hello everyone.
I recently installed the CM10.1 on my galaxy s3. One thing that really annoys me is the fact that the messaging app (text messages) does not display the little bubble on top of the app to show that i have text messages. Is there a way to make it happen or am i missing something in the settings?
thanks!

try using a custom launcher like apex it allows you to set a default messaging app and various others and then have the notification bubbles there but yeah as the other guy said wrong section
