Hello fellow Arc owners.
I have a quick question for you all.
What do you wish your handset could do that it can't?
Something you've always wanted to be able to do with your phone but has never happened, no-one's ever found a way.
Whatever this something is, it has to be possible to do by way of an app - so no super-high-res screens, batteries that last a year on a single charge or anything else hardware related, we're just talking software.
And I'm not talking an updated GingerBreak or something like that. I mean a proper, legit, above board idea.
I'd love to hear any/all sensible ideas, thanks.
NB: I'm not looking to steal anyone's ideas, if you've got a plan for the next killer app then go for it and I wish you all the best.
I'm just trying to find out if there's a niche out there that could be filled...
Im thinking......facial or thumb print unlock screens.....no idea why though.

Thumb print.. won't be feasible on current screens
And facial.. would take too long compared to swiping ?
A snap shot feature would be nice like a system restore. I know there are way to do it in Recovery but it would be nice to have a application within Stock ROM because Recovery is not available within Stock we need to Flash the custom ROM like CM for it.
A better (and free) lock screen could be good ! ..
I used to love how I could use the iPhone/iPod as a touchpad to control the mouse on the computer. Something similar for the arc would be a good idea. Should be graphically pleasing though.
I love to be able to use the camera button unlock the phone directly to the camera app, by long pressing it, so it doesn't happen by mistake. And when you turn off the screen or press the back button it would go back to being locked.

As mentioned, finger prints would require different hardware.
Facial recognition is simply fraught with too many problems to be practical.

I thought Google added a snapshot framework to Gingerbread?

Really !! You know how to create a snapshot? Or access it?
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Allows Screenshots Without Rooting
Don't know anything more about it though, sorry.
Sorry I think you got me wrong ...! Snapshot i meant a complete image of the system so we can restore it back to previous state. Let's say if something screws up we can restore the image
Right, ok.
I thought you had made two suggestions - screenshots being one and backups being the other.
I could be wrong but I'm not sure that's possible to do unless you're in recovery. I have a feeling that it's only possible to copy certain parts of the OS when it's not running.
As I say, I could be completely wrong but I can't help but feel that there's a reason why recovery is needed to made Nandroid backups.
May be I want to capture video of the activities I do on my device (just like capturing screenshot)...
Though m not sure if its achievable or not!!!
an app which can change anything in the system .. like the default wallpaper settings ..i dont mean the main wallpaper ... change the color .. change the notification bar ... but that easy change anything in the system ... where u can feel easy on making ur own system ... but the problem i dono how to make i hope somebody go on with my idea .... its free for u all ^_^ ... the first who will do this plz let me be the first one who tries it ^_^
thx
I am expecting an application that can show the time and other notification when screen is off. It means that the time can be checked without needing to wake up the screen. W 800 used this technology before. Very useful!

+1 , and the time/notifications have to move up over the screen after each minute (like a screensaver) (like Nokia/Symbian has)

Do you mean something like night clock or bed clock from the Market?
a widget to toggle between "WCDMA preferred" and "2G only".. and not one that's just a short cut to the network settings menu.

nope, I mean clock and notifications (sms, missed calls, ..) in grey like Nokia (symbian) has. And moving slightly over the screen as it was a screensaver

Exactly!
It doesnt matter if it is moving.
Does anyone know how to change the shortcuts on the lock screen or is it even possible to do that?

thank you.. this is my first samsung phone. I've always used HTC phones and it's been a challenge switching from Sense to touch wiz.. but so far I'm liking it.
i don't want the notification dropdown while in lockscreen? is it possible with the stock lockscreen?

No.....notification dropdown in lockscreen is a special features for ICS Rom....its an quickest way to go to notification with having to unlock it....
if you don't like that feature then flash Custom Rom.....
If you realy don't like this you can use an other (custom) rom or lock screen but a lot of them keep this feature!
Maybe a good developper can solve your "problem" with changes in the lines of rom ...
anyone has any solution?
Use pattern or password lock, or change to miui.

I know, using pin or other security lock will disable it, but i don't want to use them
Actually, It somehow worked the way I wanted before but after a fresh install, it's back to old behaviour and I have no clue how it worked before

ICS has always had that feature. You would have to edit the framework, not sure whether framework-res.apk or one of the .jar files, to change it.
I am ready to do those edits if someone can tell me what and how to edit
Hello
I flashed Zperience™ V1 on my Xperia U, all running nice and smooth but, as reported in this reply:
here is what i have
if i choose pin lock the 0 ank the ok button are the 2/3 out of screen
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sure, I could post there, but since I'm not allowed to do so, I expect that maybe someone who uses this very same ROM knows or understands how to use stock lockscreen or something so that this doesn't happen.
Thank you.

it is a framework problem and you can fix it if you get a alternate framework. At present a fix is there but you will loose all the animations and the great texture
If you need lockscreen back and not the texture then flash Part B of the small apps addon
jatinrungta, thanks for the explanation. I will try that.
Besides that, I am very happy with your ROM, congratulations!
Nevertheless, just to be sure, you do acknowledge that that problem (keypad slightly out of the screen to dial the unlock PIN) does exist? Do you think in a near future you'll be able to fix that?
Thanks

Yes I agree with you that the problem exists and it is a framework problem as I already mentioned
I do not know the answer to your question as it is not my framework
Great that you liked it
Now if your work is done can you please request mods to close this thread
Hi
Did as you said (copied PartB.zip to internal storage and flashed it via CW), now I have rebooted a couple of times and used it, and, although stock "look and feel" has returned and my problem of PIN screen lock is gone (cool), I am seeing the message that appears on the screenshot attached to this post all the time. It causes the UI to restart itself, making the wallpaper go black and status bar to disappear temporarily.
Can you help me with it?

What you are looking for is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/4-0-l-lockscreen-bring-android-l-t2871021
It's not the most stable App ever so you might run into a few issues from time to time, but overall it works pretty well. I am using it and really like it.

Yes i know all ready did and update my phone it is great except the battry that run quick
And there is a popup for each app but the screen dose not turn on when a message os coming so still there is a need for an app to turn on the screen each time such as niLS
Pat hit the nail on the head
Android L Lockscreen is a marvel, but be careful what you wish for. It'll notify you about everything on Lockscreen even down to what you had for breakfast.
