Tried doing a search, so if this is already answered, I just didn't look for the right words.
On ICS, when you triple tap "Android version" in the "About" page, the android appears. Tap and hold, he grows in size until an animation of ice-cream sandwiched androids are flying. I was wondering if it's possible to get a copy of this animation to use on JB. I thought it was really cool and being an android newbie, when I saw there was an update, I went ahead and installed it and didn't realize at the time that I would lose access to this animation.
Would particularly like if I could use it as a lock screen or something, but I can live with just viewing it as a video if necessary. Just want it to be direct and not a cam shot of it.
While on the subject, is there any directly grabbed copy of the Gingerbread version of this egg? It's like a kids drawing but as I'm still a n00b to the android scene... Well, please tolerate me.
* bump *
Rules say not more than once in 24 hours and it's been almost two weeks (I just checked, didn't want to break the rules).
Could this topic also be moved to a more generalized forum, since I'm sure the ICS animation isn't specific to the T989?

How to change date & time in this phone?
And how to put it on main screen?
dont know if ur trolling or anything, but isnt it obvious in setting>date and time?
He's new to android.
First thing you should do is not to go on xda that much yet, familiarize yourself with the settings menu and how android works. Getting so many weird questions might annoy users.
Of course, we'll try to be helpful either way. But will appreciate if people try to look for solutions themselves before posting.
Anyway, changing time go to settings, adding widgets to main screen just hold the main screen and wait for popup and select a clock widget. Try searching market for honeycomb clock, looks awesome.
OK got it thanks.
Now can lock this topic.
Hello everyone,
Since I have 1 posts including this one on the XDA forum and couldn't post in the dev section, I guess it'll have to go here. I'd like to make a simple lock screen for my Galaxy S2 (Android 2.3).
It would be similar to the default pattern lock but I don't want a combination of dots. Instead, I want it to unlock at a single tap at a position on the screen, or maybe two correct taps.
Since the default pattern lock requires at least 4 dot connections, I couldn't use it. I also want it to show the background with no widgets, only maybe the notification bar.
Now I downloaded the Android SDK, but I have no experience with it. I have past C++ experience and I'm willing to learn, but I would like some directions and perhaps code snippets to get me started.
Inb4 NOT SECURE LOL: It's what I want to have.
tl;dr Mewants to make single or double tap lock screen with no widgets showing. Halp?
Try AppInventor ...It is a good way to learn to make apps for Android without really knowing the programming...all you need to know is hoe you you want your app to work...and since you have previous experience with C/C++..am sure the loops such as if/if-else etc in the pictorial manner won't confuse you..Good luck..Its a good Idea you have there..dunno if it can be implemented for sure though!
There are many AOSP Lockscreens available in the dev section anyway...check them out till then
I have set Open webpages in overview to OFF as it is ON by default on my tablet browser (Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 - currently running CM9 but this was also happening on the stock Honeycomb ROM) and when I turn the tablet 90 degrees and the screen rotates, the current webpage re-formats and zooms out to fit the screen. This happens when going from landscape to portrait and also the other way around.
Just wondering if this is a known bug of ICS and Honeycomb on tablets because on my HTC Sensation this isn't happening...
Edit: wait, now it seems that the bug is gone.. hmm!

Hi I have been working with app inventor and Iam trying to make a tiny wings port with this tool.
What I have accomplished so far
1) I have the tiny wings charactor heading downward angeled left when screen starts
2) When the tiny wings charactor lands on the ground , he bounces upward at angle
3) When you press the screen the tiny wings charactor will make a quick dive down.
4) I have a score thats triggered when the bird collides with the ground
5) Reset button to reposition the tiny wings bird.
Need immediate help with
1) Making the screen scroll to the right
2) Making platforms appear as screen goes to the right
3) Who to contact so I can make a larger file size game, so that I can add the music
4) If there is anyone who can make music and sound files smaller and compressed, can I get your email address ?
Need future help with
1) Restart and reset game
2) Change animations
Goal
To show how you can make great games with app inventor by making a tiny wings type clone game. I want app inventor to be put on the map and to further promote app inventor. Anyone who helps with the project will recieve credit and project will be promoted on twitter and facebook when its done. I made an apk so you can test it out the progress so far on your device. I will update the apk as I add more to it.
I havent progressed to far so you can try the alpha version here .
Are there any developers who are experianced with app inventor or just really good coders I could use your help. I just need a couple of things to make this project complete and will give credit to those who help me. Thanks for your time!

Ok I thought the development forum was for any developer related subject. Now I know to post all questions here for the future.
Hi, im taking a look at the game you have sofar, now im not a pro dev but been dabbling in the arts of app inventor for a few months now, the problem is making games do what you want them to, even when your logic seems fair its not always easy to figure out what the issues are,
ill try figure out how to import the apk to app inventor, i dont think you can produce the sorce code from app inventor, however if it looks easy enough to fix i may need a map of your block editor and which components are used!
you can do this by taking a screen shot of your project open onscreen, i can quickly replicate this on my app inventor.
ill let you know what i think once i test this!
thanks
puggz
Edit:
Tested the apk, ike the little bouncy sound, reminds me of angry birds lol
I think the main problem your going to have is making the screen move when the target passes the screen value, quick and dirty ways to do it woud be having multiple screen arangments 12345etc when the target reaches a point on the screen arangment have it switch screen, how to do thes yet is only my basic theory's would need to mess around with the layout for this, another theory could be using thr clock timer to set screen changes, would mean calculating the time needed to pass to next screen, i think this might be a complex task..
another way would be to use an animation to move the screen a sprite function of sorts could work adding landing blocks as sprites to move with screen would need to be done too,
The problem with this its fine for a few sprites but get too complex and it will lag the app to hell,
Since there is no hardware acceleration involved, the trouble with the screen just now is it fills out to the parent, ie the devices set resolution, you could make the resolution wider and enable scrolling, this would in effect mean you could scroll left and right, up and down to the screens set resolution, it wouldent be an automatic procedure, but alot of finger swipeage.
for a basic game i think this might do the trick, just depends really on what you wish it to do really
i have ripped the main elements from the apk, all i would need is screen shots of the block editor and components used in app inventor, and settings used, or a screen shot of this too would be helpfull,
i can mess around with this idea if you like, i cant promise anything amazing but i should beable to atleast work out what needs to be done and if its possible to do in app inventor, certainly in a real sdk its possible
Ill play around with what i have for now, and workout how to implement a moving screen canvas
i think this is the easy part, getting the fixed landing blocks to be in sync may be the issue, anyways
no harm in trying huh!
thanks
thanks for trying and keep going bro you are making our dreams come true:angel:
Aparently I cannot post this question elsewhere so I ask you all here.
I saw once a custom ROM that i liked very (very!) much. The idea behind it and the general looks of it. But i don't remember how it was called.
Maybe you could help me a little. I'll try to describe it:
-it has a clean interface like a list on the homescreen (not like classic android homescreen more like windows phone 7/8 homescreen)
-every message or email it is shown in this windowish homescreen
-every item on the homescreen has on the left side color stripes depending of what kind of item it is (email/message/notification etc)
-the central item on the homescreen menu is somehow a little highlighted
That is all i remember from the screenshot i saw. For my device (S5660), the ROM developement i remember it was interrupted or stopped but i really want to find it...maybe someone ported it...
I also remember the developers built a website especially for the ROM and it was mainly for high-end devices. I found the ROM very original and practical and i truly want to find it.
So... anyone knows the name of the ROM?
Thank you so much in advance.
I don't know but your device developement has no where ner stopped, it has android 4.0. Here is a link to all the roms for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1407
thanks but...
Thanks for the quick response but i didn't say that the entire android developement for my device has been stopped no no...you get me wrong. I said that i remember clearly that the developement on the ROM i'm searching for had been stopped for gio.. Thanks for the link anyway... I've tried to find it but nothing so far. I still hope that someone with a high end device knows what i'm looking for.

is this what you are talking bout? http://spiritdsgn.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Phone-Style-for-Android-355556107
unfortunetly it is not
It is a nice finding so thanks man...but apparently it isn't what i'm seeking. The main screen It is more like a list of notifications in real time wich have on their left side tiny colored stripes depending of their nature. But again thanks for the answer.
