Large Text Scroller

This isn't anything revolutionary or remotely useful. But,... I haven't seen anything like it and I figured I'd share it. You never know when you might want to use it. I made it in flash and you type in your text, up to 15 characters then hit the button and there ya go. Scrolling. Large. Just copy the .exe to your device/card and run. It works good on Omap devices but better on 400mhz+ devices. I currently don't have a SmartPhone so if anyone could try it on smartphone and let me know if it works that would be great. I'm not sure if you can get into the text box without tapping it.

Not sure exactly what this is supposed to do? You're scrolling to search and find text you've just typed in or what? Can you attach some screenshots please?

You type in text then hit the button and that text will scroll across the whole screen infinitely. Borderline postworthy but I thought it might have it's uses and as I said I've never seen anything do that before. You don't see the screenshots?

You will not believe this, but I was just thinking about a software like this this morning. Back in my old Palm OS days, I had a marquee-style scrolling app that I would use to display a message from across the room. I was just wondering this morning if anyone had made such a thing for pocket pcs. Thanks. With text messaging, I may not have as much use for it now, but I will find a way to use it.

It works as promised, dunno what exactly I'll do with it, but I like it.
A few requests;
1) More characters
2) Landscape mode (wider viewing area)
3) Colors?
Thanks for the app

New Android Market?

Saw this on CNET through Engadget. Looks very cool, they say it will come in Donut what do you all think?

its cool that there at least trying to renovate things...just my opinion...

I don't see much difference other then they moved the free/paid option to the main screen for filtering, changed some png files and the background color. I can wait.

It needs a facelift, but more than anything else it needs a viable search engine. The search function it has now is sloppy and painfully unreliable, it's a wonder how anything like that could come from Google.

I agree, the search really is horrible, I can type in the exact name of an app, but unless its included in the pname, no dice.

+1 its a b*tch trying to find a specific app in the market

1. Fix the search function. Its not just bad its terrible. Mind boggling considering whos behind it.
2. Needs a way to show screenshots. Even if its a stupid link. ItunesApp store is miles ahead just because of this alone. Alot of time saved if I could see what the app/game looks like.
That said I do like the above screenshots.

Sam is a pretty decent Market App, it has screenshots and a decent range of app's

[Q]Why is Google Now Weather card linking to useless page

ahh you are right! thanks.
i prefer the desktop mode for chrome though, i have a scripted that always request desktop mode. So is it possible for me to use the aosp browser for google now and not have it link to chrome? google search doesnt give me an option to pick what browser to use like other apps do. The only way i can use something else is to uninstall chrome.

AOSP browser or any other one should work just fine.

Go into app info for chrome. Clear defaults under launch by default.

Not much out there like this. It appears to be a mirrored and somewhat improved version of this (link loads a google image search with all sizes of the image - and, BTW, thanks for this - now I'm hungry for blueberries and yogurt, and have neither):
https://www.google.com/search?hl=en...ya8gw&tbm=isch&tbas=0&*&imgrc=HAQ8kRujJPweyM:

Wow thank you very much!
Exactly what I was looking for!
May I ask how did you find it?
Best regards!

I did a Google image search with highly focused search terms, and was lucky to notice one of these images fairly near the top of the results. I think my search term was something like this:
blueberry yogurt and granola parfait in a small glass on wood cutting board with spoon
Sometimes you just get lucky. These kinds of searches are often not that successful.
edit: I found the exact search term in my search history. On google's image search page, I used this term (not in quotes) and the image was less than 5 rows from the top:
blueberry granola parfait wallpaper

HiSearch prompt

Since the last firmware update, this prompt repeatedly shows up, and I have no idea what will happen in case I accept it and how can I decline it.
Also, I checked and I have no application called HiSearch installed and I can't view what application gives me this prompt.
Does anyone have an idea about this?

Yes I saw this thread as well, but the strange thing is that my tablet does not have any app like that. I checked it both in the Android settings and through adb.
