Hi, I'm about to buy the tab 7.7, and I just want to confirm if the calendar has the awful combination of colors as showed in reviews (brown and pink I suppose). If so, can it be changed?.
Who the hell was in charge?
As far as i know you can't change the colour and it's not the most flexible calendar. There are some good alternatives. I like the very fresh look of acalendar which is still being developed and free at the moment. If you try that remember to flick up and down to change page/week/month etc or right and left to change view. Calengoo is also quite good.
Just use any other calender app!

Had my aria for a month now and never recognized this...
On your homescreen click to add a widget to it. Now look at the top of the list..
You can download additional HTC widgets not listed. There's a battery widget that shows percentage and,takes you to battery info when you click on it. Along with a dozen other widgets. Apparently its a list that gets updated at HTC's choosing.
Clicking menu gives refresh list and setting options
Damn I love HTC
Yeah, I discovered this a while ago.
Still a nice surprise--I was particularly delighted to find a Profile widget, which I felt was one of the things that was missing from the phone. Sure beats long pressing the power key to switch profiles.
Just as a note, this only works with the Sense UI. Or, at the very least, the option is not there with Launcher Pro.
Noticed it first day and had battery widget but it lacks the functionality of the battery widget by geekyouup free in the market.
Nice that HTC is thinking of its users though!

Cool thanks didn't even notice it!
Thanks! I had not noticed it.
Awesome find I never noticed that now I know 4 people with the aria and all of us are missing the outer camera lens that keeps stuff out of the camera hole, has anyone noticed this? The att store demo phone is missing it as well

The notepad/post-it widget is really good. I definitely suggest it. I use it everyday for quick notes and as a To Do list. Best of all it sets on your screen and gives you 10 pages you can flip through.
Thanks, I'd missed that, good call.
I like how the notes app will let you draw on the screen, nice touch.

dam i missed this on my GF's aria haha
I found that juss from being bored and digging around in my fone Lol

Love this widget, but want to run LauncherPro ... is there another widget like it on the market? Thanks!
so last week I looked up dark levels on google image and found an epic one. used it last 3 days and increased my battery life by almost 2 hours.
use this shortened url or the qr i attached.

it looks great too. i really enjoy just how dark this is and i seriously think no light is being used when you have it exposed
cheers
I always used a pure black image I made with a paint program as my wallpaper on my Nexus One and my Galaxy S phones to save juice.
The battery life on the Nexus S is so phenomenal that I've actually been using live 3D wallpapers (like an aquarium) and similar without concern. I can easily make it through an 18 hour day on the NS without having to resort to a black wallpaper.
Still, I love the way a pure black background looks on the pure black Nexus S; I may go back to it just for the aesthetics.
Good tip, though!
I've been using all black every where possible for months, It really helps battery life.
Cyanogen web browser has a very useful all black option to turn all white pages to black.
Here is mine
Pure black created using Windows 7 Paint.
Good idea. Trying it to see hour much juice it saves.

Yep it looks business like
i always try to keep most of my themes black
but is boring when every thing is always black
so it's okay to have some highlights here and there ... at the expense of extra battery usage

I agree and with the beautiful screen on the NS, why not give it a little life
I hope battery technology will one day improve to the point where we don't have to help the phone save juice. It always bothers me there are these features which we can't fully take advantage of or have to turn off and moderate to get a phone through the day.
Having said that, my NS does quite well with battery, and I have WP Clock live wallpaper running.
Is there a good place to get black themed gmail, gvoice, reader, calendar, etc. to look like contacts?
Personally I think colorful backgrounds are kinda girly. Meet to see once. But I prefer the lookof the solid black. And I believe it shows our screens abilities perfectly and make the apps pop better that a cheesy background...

I know it's kind of cheesy but I really like the Matrix Live Wallpaper for that reason. It shows off the pure black and then you have the coloured characters falling all over the screen, it looks amazing on the SAMOLED.
+1 I love the super blacks of amoled.
Plus easy on the eyes and battery. What's not to love?
Solar Winds LWP, mostly back, but with flashes of colour.
Best of both worlds
Yes there's black themed MMS.apk and Gmail.apk in the apps/themes forum. Need root access to swap them though.

Ok, here is my list of apps and widgets that I use because of its level of blackness
- simiClock widget (replaced Beautiful widget)
- Jorte for Google calendar client (it has black theme)
- Pure Calendar Widget with a black theme
- Default google email client (it has black list, but not when reading email)
- Go SMS (terrific! it has dark theme plus we can change the background color)
I know, there are "specially modified" apps out there, but you need to root your device.
For non-rooted user like me, these apps are suitable to have some blackness.
Please share if you find other alternatives, especially email client

Hi all, having recently come to the Galaxy S3 from many years of using HTC devices (HTC HD2, HTC Desire S, HTC Sensation), I realised I really missed 1 or 2 widgets which were useful to me. These included Friendstream and Calender/agenda.
Reading around a bit, I discovered 'Android Pro Widgets' in the google play store... these are awesome alternative scrollable widgets which are an excellent alternative to the above.
Finally, for those who havnt tried it, Apex launcer works briliantly in the S3 - feels much slicker to me than Touchwiz and has the added bonus of having scrollable wallpaper! (Intall Quick pic from play store if you want to use scrollable wallpaper to install the wallpaper otherwise gallery forces you to crop your selected image messing up the desired scroll effect.)
Hope someone finds this of use, a 'Thanks' would be appreciated if so.
Cheers
Thanks for the Heads up Missed the scrollable people widget badly, glad I got a version of it back on my Galaxy S III.
I will give them a go , thanks
I've been using these on my Desire as I'd switched to an AOSP rom. They work great with one exception. The bookmarks widget always misses the last bookmarked site off. I have to create a dummy site to get it to show. Could you confirm if this happens on the S3?

You can get a modded touchwiz launcher that allows for wallpaper scrolling and also has alternative home sizes if you want it.
Search for it, quite easily

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 default hovering pen icon is just a tiny little dot...
But I wish it could be changed to another shape like cursor on PC destop...
Pls help me.
Thank you.
Hmm, in LectureNotes you can select the size of the hover so it shouldn't be impossible to change in other apps as well like a launcher.

Yeah, it does in LectureNotes.
I currently working with Screencast creating math tutorial and post it on youtube. But I think the student would be confuse if they couldn't see the hover. There is a problem when recording on LectureNote, it's lagging (paused somehow). So I chose S-Note (built-in app on galaxy note 10.1), my problem is just the tiny hover. There is no hover setting in S-Note
The pen pointer has changed in the 4.1.1 (something) rom I'm using on my n8010, it's a small light blue ring with a hole in the center that matches the s pen's tip. I find that it's nicer than the dot, but I didn't see any new options to change the icon. It would be great to have some more customization, especially for using drawing apps.

I see your problem. I use YouTube lectures from Kahn academy and similar videos all the time, some have a pointer and even though I prefer that most videos doesn't and it's usually no problems if the teacher is switching colors and tell where he's writing. Some courses are better than others, math is imo pretty straightforward compared to other classes where you have to make and edit large flowcharts etc. But that of course depending on what level of math we're talking about.
A way around your problem would be not to use any recording tool but to actually record the screen itself. Ie, just like you take a screenshot but like a video instead. This however, usually requires root and that might not be something you want to if it's not your tablet. I also think there are programs to record your voice simultaneously too, something I don't think SNote is doing.

Alright, I know that the camera for the s4 is really nice, BUT, there are some features that really dont work the way that they should and the number of times that they can be used in real life situations are very limited. The eraser option has to be activated to be able to use it. it's not really practical because you would not really expect anyone to just jump in to your pictures all the time, and most of us just use the auto mode.
Anyways, to get to the point, one of the features that I liked from the s3 camera features was the color filter options which i did not find in the s4's large array of camera features.
I was wondering if I am just missing on something or it really isn't there. I love this feature because it adds a level of creativity to some of my shots.

i know that, The one im looking for is the red-yellow, blue, green filter that is present in the s3. It is the option where everything is b&w and the only colors you see are the ones you chose, namely, red-yellow, blue or green colors only. I ll post a screenshot of my s3 when its charged up.
Yeah I'm not familiar with that one, sorry. Never had an S3.
