There are a lot of apps coming which float above other apps like Chatheads for Facebook. So I made an example app showing how they work.
It is basically a view in a WindowManager which is inflated in a Service. With a few more tweaks, it can be made to change positions on the fly.
I made this for API 10+ but it should work with lower versions just fine.
Here is how it looks:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

This is just an example. The possibilites are countless.
Hope it helps developers create other apps like Floating Notifications and such.
Full sources can be found on my Github here.
Sample app can be found here.

You can try out my Floating Music Widget. It works with PowerAmp.(if not, PM me and I'll make it work).
To the app author - this isn't really a good example. It doesn't explain what does methods of WindowManager do, why we need to call them. It doesn't explain the LayoutParams parameters. For example, you could say that different types of windows allow different visibility - for example, that TYPE_PHONE is OK for most of floating windows, and TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR can be used for something that has to overlay everything, even status bar and lockscreen.
Your code, however, also has flaws. For example, unused constant. Programming newbie can think that it is necessary to make floating windows. And handling general Exception is a bad practice. Newbie can think that floating window can throw ANY exception. Instead, you should catch IllegalArgumentException and explain the user that it is because sometimes View gets detached from Window BEFORE touch event handling occurs.
Jsut another example for such an app with a floating pPoint.

Yes, you are correct about the unused constant. I was going to add a feature of putting it into the status bar by preference to be accessed from there, but in the end decided against it. Hence, the unused constant.
As for the explaining part for newbies, I didn't think it necessary since its not at all hard. Reading the docs would be enough to handle this.
Anyways thanks for pointing this out. :good:

WP-Notes is an app which transfers the Windows Phone 7 UI to Android.
From the name of it, it is a Notes app which lets you take notes as fast as possible and review them whenever you need to go back to them!
For now, the WP-Notes will not be released until it's in a good condition to be used.
About the price of this app, you will be the ones who will choose!
You need to tell me what should be the price. Should it be for free ? $0.99 ? Leave any recommendations about the price.
When I get home, I will upload some pictures for you to be able to see how the app actually looks like!
Wish-List:
- Notifications (If you set a specific time to the note, it will notify you whenever that time is reached).
- More customization.
If there is anything you would like to know, just leave a post and I will answer as soon as I see it.
If there are any more suggestions or any more things to add to the Wish-List, please leave a post and I will try my best to add it to the app!
Update-1: Finally! I'm home, I'm really sorry for the long time for not uploading the screenshots, as I didn't have my phone with me.

If u need a beta tester ,here I am
I would love to test that out even it is in development state ,because up to now no note app could make me say wow ,awesome design ..and windows phone UI does this
Ermm is a remember feature already there ? Mean the app gives a notification out If u did a note for a special time ?
Please let me test it

I would also participate as a tester Even alpha tester^^
I think a "remember" function is definitely needed..
Would be best to see the final app for free But when you put a lot of work in the app why not take 0.70$ for it?
i will also like to beta test
Interested in checking it out. Could use a new note app with smooth and simple looks!

About the price, I encourage you to do 2 versions. Both without ads:
1. Free --> Just the basic: notes and the list of all notes (obvious). Anything else.
2. 0-1$ (you need to eat )--> All the extras like Notifications, everything you want.
For example, I really like this app look, but I'm 99% sure I won't pay for a notes app because it's something I use just sometimes. I could ask you to have everything for free, but since you asked really nicely, I believe you won that "respect". That's why I'm asking just for the basic thing: notes and nothing else for free, like a lite version. Without ads, please (wouldn't use it).

Recomendation/wish: Make the title of the new note empty (optional), and the cursor to write pointing to the note body. Also, make that in the notes list, the note body is shown, so if no there is no title, you can see all the notes. I hope I have been clear explaining myself.
Also, an "Add note" button at the bottom of the notes list would be great!
Thank you very much, waiting for it.

I'm using ADW EX launcher, and the background is a live wallpaper called World View.
Enjoy!
here my homescreen
using folder organizer, switchPro Widget and minimalistic text...
feel simple and smooth with ONE homescreen
minimalist, maximal functionality
Amateurs! Here's how minimalism is done. If it were possible to swipe this tablet one-handed, then possibly there'd be an argument for more than one, but otherwise one home page goes without saying. Black background so that you can always see what you're doing, plus the sensuality of black's depth that makes black the new black.
I can't find a working app sorter to render the system apps tray usable, so Folder Organizer on the top two rows makes everything available--and I still have four slots open. The next two rows are my Dropbox shortcuts to immediately access frequently used file locations. I currently only need four of the sixteen slots, so that next row is devoted to two tider-overs: 1) a widget for enabling/disabling the lockscreen fills in for the Widgetsoid widget that doesn't work; and 2) on the left side is my biggest risk: a reboot button ergonomically placed so that it's never accidentally actuated, which I know will eventually happen at the worst possible moment.
Below that, it's all Widgetsoid with so much room remaining to expand for frequently used apps that I can sculpt my lower three rows into the Michaelangelo's David that you're presently beholding. Top Widgetsoid row devoted to settings, with state toggles separated so that their state is displayed, while the remainder are always highlighted. Finally, two rows of apps grouped in Widgetsoid widgets by the way I consider they function in my workflow. From left to right, then down, you've got system utilities, media, time, word processing, and internet. That bottom left Widgetsoid is getting crowded--I need three pdf readers because they all suck in some way--but the others still have slots open. A ting'o'beauty, no?

Hey!
I thought of a concept that will be hard to achieve, but awesome if it works.
This is it: The OS acts as if there are two screens that you can control independently. This way you can do things like editing a file while looking thing up on the internet. I realize this probably would not work, and in terms of technology I'm kind of a noob, but this is just an idea that would be cool and not actually anything I am working on.

I know of the Sony Tablet P, but I meant that it would be something that any Android phone with enough power could use. But thanks anyway!
If you split the screen in two, don't you think the screens would be way too small anyway? I mean it is a good idea, but who really does anything majorly needing that on their phone?
Maybe if you got the Kyocera Echo's source you could trick the display into doing it
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/13/kyocera-echo-review/
But it wouldn't be practical on a phone, maybe on a tablet
OP, I think its a great idea!
You would have two 6.25 cm (2.5") 427x480 (or 480 minus a few pixel rows for the status bar) app windows.
It probably could be implemented, but I doubt it will

This is just for multitasking though. The DS was a good idea, but the real innovation was the touch screen - not the two screens.
This might or might not be useful. I thought of it because to me it seems useful when looking things up or something. And yes, the screens might be small. But I do not think they will be too small.
There's.a Nokia dual screen check it on youtube I def was not impressed
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
I would find this useful because you can have your music player on the left/bottom of the screen, and have any other app on the other half of the screen. That way you wont have to change constantly between apps so in other words it is great for multitasking.
Imigine that you can swipe the bar between the two apps to make one bigger or smaller... that would be nice...
EDIT: Heard about Cornerstone? It does something very similar:

Too big. I browse XDA on my second monitor which is a 15 inch. Besides that, I think it looks alright.
I like it. It is bigger. Should look better on my 24" Monitor when I get it, also should look much better at 1080p as well.
it is a bit large but I think I like it better than the 2010 theme. I wish they had a floating bar a the top though, one that would stay while you scroll with the account options and maybe page selection.
I fixed my problem by going to control panel, edit options, and changing the skin to the last one on the list. Now I get the nice theme and I will not have to read XDA on my bigger monitor.

how they don't have a dark or inverted theme is beyond me.. ugh white..

hi
since some days i'm digging into decompiled apk's of sense 6 and found out how "scenes" work.
htc sense 6 introduced "scenes" containing a wallpaper and 4 color tones (actually it's more than 4 i found out).
i'm facing problems with some apk's i need to compile to get it working (got it partially working already).
looking for: a skilled and motivated xposed module developer to make it happen via xposed framework.
goal: have ability to change one scene's color codes on the fly or add a custom theme if possible.
please reply in this thread or send me a pm if you're intrested.
@ moderators: please don't delete this thread since it will be used for the release if it is successful.
feel free to move this thread to "Xposed Framework Modules" forum.
here a little teaser to show progress from my side:

alot could be possible and yes it would be rom-independent (if there are no major ui mods cooked in).
it all depends on me finding a great programmer to do the actual work.

Or... you could learn youself? Xposed ain't that hard to use with java, plus its certainly a lot easier than smali
Workflow for this through Xposed would be something like:
-> Hook methods for scenes/colours
-> Create a MainActivity for your app with whatever UI you want behind it (eg, preferences/preferencescreen, listview etc - probably preferences is easier since it allows a hassle free way to interface with SharedPreferences and store the chosen colours so the app remembers the colour chosen)
-> Say the user clicks on changing the colour for blinkfeed, this opens a Dialog Box with a load of RadioButtons for each different colour.
-> User clicks colour, dialog box dissapears and colour is written to sharedPreferences then you also write the colour back into the hooked method
And to finish:
-> User reboots phone & Xposed does its magic
Hey buddy!!
Xposed modding isn't terrible (if you have basic knowledge of Java- I'm a student and caught on pretty quickly to how it works)...
If I were you, I would learn some Java/Xposed modding and create this yourself. That way you could create what YOU have in mind without anything you don't want, yknow?
If you need any help, I'm sure there are resources and people willing to aid you, however not many would make this mod for you solely because you asked.
