XDA android app text size - Streak 5 General

Does anyone find that the text size on this app too small even on the Streak screen?
Its there a way of zooming into the text or just making the text larger as sometimes it is tiny even on here.

Thats odd that they don't have a text size option in the settings.
What rom are you on?
See if the app "Spare Parts" is on your phone, if not enable engineering mode (in the wiki, and a thread in the forum for engineering mode on froyo) and open up spare parts.
In there theres an option to increase the Font size, but its system wide, not just specific to xda app
If you have trouble enabling engineering mode, some guy put spare parts on the market and added ads (making money off something he didn't create...) you can grab it from there as well.
Good Luck

I have spare parts on this phone Dj Steves 1.51 rom and have put text to largest but screen text in this app is still tiny

I spoke yesterday with the Tapatalk coder and he said that it's being implemented and it's in the next release.

That will be great as its daft to have such a big screen with tiny text

For those of you who use ADW

Hey guys just a quick question about ADW...im having some problems when trying to add a picture frame widget. When I choose the photo I want and then I have the option to resize it,,instead of 2X2 I want to make it 4X2 however when I do that it still comes out to 2X2 but it takes the space of a 4X2. Now, I had no problems doing this with my Nexus One..so is it possible that its a 1.6 problem? or am I missing a setting somewhere?
Thanks
When you change the space settings the widget stays the same size, just has a kind of invisible border.

Right, thats exactly what happens....but before on my Nexus the picture itself would be bigger no invisible border. Why wont it work now? is it 1.6? Thats what Im trying to figure out
I don't think it's anything to do with ADW... It's the SE implementation of the picture frame widget I believe...
Is there maybe a better picture frame program in the market?

Yeah I found a pretty cool one called Turtle photo frame.... problem is is it causes ADW to FC as soon as you add the widget. So I'm still on the hunt lol

Some (although few) widgets actually stretch or shrink depending on what size you make them, however, try the 'Auto Stretch' option in ADW which may stretch widgets which normally wouldn't

I just thought of a great I idea of a lp.it is about dominos you click on a spot any spot and it will cause a chain reaction. You have a top view of the dominos. So does any one want to make my idea a reality? I searched the market before posting but I got no results

That would be pretty sick...

it would be pretty sick, especially if you could customize it and write a message in the dominos or a design (like draw it in the settings)

Galaxy SIII Annoyances Megathread

Galaxy SIII is a fantastic phone, but I seem to be constantly let down by touchwiz stuff. My idea for this thread is a big, long list of annoyances and suggestions for fixing them.
For example, an annoyance: TW doesn't support sorting the app drawer by name, you have to manually sort things and that goes slow. You would have thought they'd have a better way to manage the app drawer by now, but alas, no.
Solution: AppZorter Lite is a free solution that will sort your app drawer for you. Bonus: I like a nice empty app list, so I've gotten it hidden (one thing TW does do) and just launch it from the store when I need to.
Two that I haven't solved:
1) Facebook has filled my contact list with a huge number of people I don't care about, seems to have ignored the "only sync with existing contacts". Removing facebook users is a process: hold on the user, press delete, confirm that it isn't actually deleting.
2) The default MMS app seems to send (or displays?) all picture messages as slideshows. Super lame. Is there any way to turn this out without installing a 3rd party app?
App drawer, menu, view type, alphabetical grid or list.

much easier than my solution. skipped right over that option.
Thanks.
Trying out Pansi SMS as my sms solution, though it's a bummer that it doesn't interact with the lock screen like the native one.

If you goto phone contacts menu display you can remove fb contacts for ppl you dont want

The app drawer thing is why I didn't use the TW launcher on the Epic. At least now I can install Apex or Nova in the system/app folder.
Network errors, Sprints fault, not the phone.
Oh, I asked that S-Voice b*tch where she was from and she didn't understand. Guess that's what I get for hitting on my phone. :crying:

Appdrawer -> Menu button -> View Type -> Alphabetical grid
nvm, someone already posted it.
TouchWiz in general is just a piece of ****. Still running the Epic here and I cursed my phone every day until I put launcher pro on it and it was manageable. Didn't actually like my phone until I rooted and got CM9. My wife is getting the S3 upgrade but CM9 will go on as soon as it is available. She knows how ****ty TW is.

TW isn't that bad, it's manageable but obviously they are better options.

Meh. To each his own. I used to own an iphone and found it boring and featureless. TW just reminds me of the iphone too much. Not as bad as miui though.

Turn off double ppress for svoice. It is quicker. The reason food the delay is that it is giving the user a chance to double press

Pissed that BB had no accessories when i picked up the phone and i now have 2 micro scratches on the screen from screen sliding along a piece of paper on my desk at work.
I hate the purple/baby blue rim around the phone.
Waiting for a black TPU bumper and black metal battery cover replacement from china to resolve these issues.
Outside of that- much more impressed with the form factor than that of the EVO LTE which i traded for it. The S3 is very comfortable in hand.
Phone is way too slippery!
BTW- Touchwiz sucks! i installed Apex while waiting to check out at BestBuy.

Picture Modification

Hi all need help deciding which way to go developing a picture based parts repair form. My first thought was to have the user take the picture then edit photo after its saved by adding a circle or arrow to the parts area in question. The second thought I had would be to use an overlay graphic (arrow or circle) while taking the picture and saved together. While the second option sounds easier its less user friendly I'm thinking. Are there any other options I'm missing? What are your thoughts.. Thanks :banghead:

I figured it out! The easiest way I found was from Aviary. A free/paid image editing SDK @ http://developers.aviary.com
Best feature I liked is you can allow / disallow users different editing tools for your needs.

[Q] Question for the Theme Masters

I'm looking to change the default avatar (Evil smiley face one ) across the system.
I just need to know which apks have the avatar in, I'm assuming Contacts, MMS and possibly the Dialler are there others ?
Also is it possible to remove the avatar from the message thread (the ones next to the text bubbles) in the messaging app ? or possibly replace the png for it with a tiny clear png.
Any help will be gratefully received

Had changed the bubbles in the MMS on my SG3 a long-time back using this method, they where easy to find.
Now I know what apks/directories these pngs are in, should be little more than unpack the apk make notes of the dimensions of the pngs in question. Find a nice replacement(s) a bit of scaling, some packing and quick flash (I hope)
