Instead of the little photo box of who is calling you that you make it a full screen 'water mark' background image so it takes up the whole screen when someone calls.
See example attached. I'm not good at photo shop so I tried my best.
Just a thought.

Surely there is a free version/the ability to include it in a rom though..
Yes that would be cool...
full screen app
full screen app works great but it's not free on the android market.
The pictures would be crappy quality? Aren't they only a 96x96 image?

I think you're right.
That app kinda sucks. It doesn't 'explode' the pictures embedded in the contact but rather requires one to 'attach' a new image which is a chore every time I flash a ROM.

u could backup app and data wit titanium or my backup pro (pay app i use) and restore that way if thats the only thing stopping u
Those are workarounds.
Fact is, I already have pictures set for about three hundred contacts thanks to the now new picasaweb feature and I don't want to manually do this over. For the rest Facebook widget automatically assigns images for my contacts. Ideally the app should leverage this already available information rather than creating excess work.

That, and it needs to not downgrade the resolution that was an issue in the past. The Desire build is still doing that...someone calls, the picture is some crappy low quality...barely make out who the person is calling...haha...
Unreal how some many things with Android are broke from Google...good thing all of their money is made from search advertising, because they can't do much else right...rofl..
I know with music you can look at the mp3 file with a program to see exactly when it was created and also check to see if the they changed m3u data. Is there something out there for pictures?
Basically someone sent me a picture, but right now I'm questioning if they actually took just then of the object, or was there a time lapse and they're claiming it as recent. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Never mind. Google is my friend. This can be closed. I don't know if I can do it myself with this app. I don't see the option.
An exif viewer would probably be your best bet for an app.

Sounds like it may be a fat chick. She's sending you a pic when she was skinny.
No. I ask your mom to stop sending me pics a long time ago. But do send her my regards when you see her.
Exif app seems to work from the market. I was able to confirm that indeed the capture did take place during the event. The only problem is the program on the market is a little crued. Best option I've found thus far is to just use the program on windows. It's time consuming, but works.
Ok, found two apps that will show the exif details on your image. Both work great, but one is more vibrant with their color scheme.

Hi!
I don't know if i should post this on galaxy ace forum because it's not about the galaxy ace itself. I'm sorry if i'm posting on the wrong sub-forum but you guys are the experts with galaxy ace.
I'll ask for your help anyway
Is it possible to turn an image into .apk? I would like to make some kind of app that shows me an image in full screen (320x480) on my SGA.
If the app already exists, can you tell me what app is that?
Thanks a lot
1. This should be in the general section
2. Isn't that what the Gallery app does?

You don't need to turn an image file to apk to make such app. You need to make an app to read, open, and show you image file(s). The gallery is already there. You can find bunch of the like apps in the market too, e.g. QuickPic.
What on earth for??
Hi all!
Thanks for your tips.
Perhaps i explained myself badly, i''m sorry.
I don't want to open a random picture with gallery. I want an app to open the SAME picture every time i open the app.
Imagine that you have a picture of your grandmother on your wallet, i want more or less the same thing on my phone
I just need press the app icon and voilá, my picture is shown in fullscreen. that's what i was looking for.
Yesterday i was watching some videos on youtube and i now have more or less the idea what i need to do to make such an app.
The problem is that i'm not very savvy with with Java and Android SDK and it will take me some time create the app that i need.

Are you using stock? Do you have 3DGallery?
Well... If so... I barely remember a widget that allows you to place an image wherever you want in your screan... Like having a photo frame on your desktop... I don't know if you know what I mean... But right now I can't remember the name of the widget... But id does pretty much what you are looking for

I don't have 3D Gallery, I didnt even know this app existed. The app seems cool and i like the concept of 3D Gallery but that's not what i was really looking for.

Ok thanks
I've found an app "Android Photo Widget" that does more or less what i need.
I've added a new screen to SGA and with this widget i picked a photo for that screen.
The only problem is that the picture is always showing and i just wanted the picture to be shown after i press the app button. It does what i wanted, just not by the way i wanted but it's ok.
I'll keep looking for a better app anyway but this one does the job.
Hi all,
I've already posted this in the N7000 forum and I guess most of you are new here so I don't want you guys to miss out on this really cool find.
Since the note has such a big screen why not push the boundaries and try out some try desktop-style multitasking
Check out the video to see what it's all about.

cool, but in short, is there an app for that? underdevelopment? how can i do that on mine?
whats the name of that game? chine runner? couldnt find in market, looks cool
Wow that is pretty awesome.
Is this an android OS or just a skin? Also where can I get more info on this?

Of course, it's android gingerbread. If you're referring to the 3D UI, I have a galaxy note tutorial on my channel here:

Hey I just want to say thanks for sharing this with us! It is very nice to have someone from the International Note forum share the true awesomeness of our devices! Much better than just "oh I forgot this is AT&T note, your device is crap"
coldfustion has the best vid's. tx for sharing it! i ASSume our snapdragon processor can do the same thing, maybe with a touch of lag, maybe not.
i was at a family dinner Friday and i can never think how to show off the phone as everyone is asking me about it. his vid's always give me new ideas
Halleluja! I've been asking for something like this for months. See my split screen/multiview thread in the N7000's theme/app forum. Now please add a couple features:
1. "Snap" like Windows 7 Ultimate has, but slightly different. Make it so that when you drag the app's title bar to a side, it snaps to fully fill the screen halfway on that side. Dragging to a corner makes the window snap to fully fill that 1/4 of the screen. If you have the screen filled with 2 windows (or 3 or 4), make it so you can drag the border between windows and they'll automatically resize at the same time to maintain the screen filled.
2. Have the notification bar pull down over all windows.
If you add these features and make it work, I'll buy a copy for $50.
P.S. Why in the world, if the Note's capable of running all of that at the same time, did Samsung feel the need for such aggressive RAM management that I can't currently switch from my browser window to email, one other app, then back to the browser without my entire browsing session being closed down!?
oh, didnt know this was a promotion for a bunch of PAID apps
thanks anyway

some ppl just expect things for free most of us are appreciative Jim.
Just bought the browser version. For $1.50, why not?
Honestly I can't see myself using this on my note even though we have the biggest screen size of any phones. I can see this being useful for tablets or for showing off to my iphone buddies!

Jim, could you work on seeing if we can get something like your 3D UI for our AT&T version

I didn't think it read like an ad. Then I saw both were paid apps and read it again.
That said, for $1.49, I figured, why not?
Both work great on my I717. Stock ROM, not rooted, running ADW Launcher EX, and using hacker's keyboard. I was able to run two 1080p videos at the same time with the video program, and was able to run 3 you tube videos on the browser. No problems with keyboard. The only problem with lag is it seems as I run more and more videos the sound and video gets a bit out of sync.
Thanks for the link. I like the browser because I am often copy/clipping stuff, or re-keying stuff from the browser window to somewhere else and that makes it much easier. I don't know that I'll use the video thing much, but its neat to show off, as others have said.
Wow, thanks for the information, especially about the 3D UI. It led me to discover many cool apps that I didn't know about before. I really like the Windows-like Contact app and Alternative App Drawer apps especially. Thanks again!

The video app will come in handy for my use case. I like to use the Google Navigation while driving but also want to hear my language training video at the same time. Before there was no way to run my video app while running the navi app at the same time. Now I do! Thanks.
That is a great app and it shows what the future will be for smart phones. Big screens that are used in a Landscape mode for most functions. The only need for portrait is to hold it up to your ear to make a call.
People are making a lot less calls.

This is true, you can expand your phone as far as you want. I mean if you used a bluetooth keyboard and hooked this up to a TV.. I might just try that

No worries, I guess I still have some 3D UI spreading to do on other forums, it seems as if people have the mindset that the manufacturer UI is what your stuck with. eg, Once touch wiz, always touch wiz
Hello S9+ Fans,
yesterday I updated my S9+ to Android Pie. Lots of new, nice things.
But in the new camera app the video recording button is no longer available. You have to FIRST switch to video mode and them press recording button. To have two buttons, one for Photos and one for videos was a brilliant, very much loved thing. As when you are 'in action' you simply can decide with one click what you aim to do, without priorly having to switch the modes !
Does anybody know how to get the second button back ?
I am even extremely thinking about bringing the old camera app back if it is not possible with the new one. Is there any way to do this please ?
Sorry if I might have overseen a thread handling this already.
Kind regards
Any fix for this?
First they took out dual camera mode then these "dual shooting buttons"... and moved the clock to the left whyyy samsung??!! Not happy with the Android 9 pie s9 s9+ plus update.
Moving the clock was a Google decision, not Samsung's.

The real fail here is the manual video mode removal :silly:
Very stupid decision
This change is a minor annoyance and I'll adjust but it is an annoyance none the less...
I wonder what the thinking was here? Surely no one can consider this an improvement..
This is a freaking useless change and it's totally impractical. Nobody asked for this stupid change and yet, as usual, Samsung decided to implement it...
With android, you just root and change whatever you want. Or use another application suitable.

Yeah but that's not the point. + with Samsung, if you want to use most of the Knox features, root is a no go.
The point is that a software update removes a feature, which is not only useless but also detrimental to the user.
Hey, at least I can find the video mode now because it says the word "video". I had to spend 10 minutes on google to discover how the hell to record video the first time I wanted to do it on my s9+ because there wasn't anything anywhere that looked like it would make video.

I'm sure a number of people in this boat complained to Samsung the first time around and so they removed this useful feature.

We live in a planet full of morons. I can't believe that there are people that they need to see the word "video" to understand the place of the function, but can't understand the red dot, the international symbol for video recording.

I'd rather hear his complaint than the ones that can't get used to companies changing things. What's the term I'm looking for? Adapt other die? No, that's to harsh and don't wish death. Get used to it? I don't think that's clear enough. Maybe people should just stop recording things, I mean, if someone did that to you you'd tell them to stop. No, you won't be YouTube rich any time soon kids, sorry
why do we have to get used to "changes from companies" that downgrade the abilities of our phones? You must be trolling, there s no other excuse of your unreasoning way of thinking.
Is there any way to install the old camera still having the two buttons ?
Does anybody have a link to download the app please?
I do see the positive other changes, but rather would use the old version to get my two buttons back.
your only practical choice may be installing a third party video camera app from the play store.

This is not an option for me as it would put me in an even worse situation. Samsung's camera uses the camera at its most. Any other app has not that brilliant pics + vids with that device.

This was no red dot, not until you first found the obscure and utterly meaningless red-dotless icon that switched from camera to video mode. That's what I spent 10 minutes on google looking for the first time I tried to record video.
