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.

Hey guys I'm new to the forums and a relatively happy owner of the sgs. Anyway is there a way to save images as wallpaper from the internet. What I mean is theres an image on google I want to use as my wallpaper. My previous phone was an iphone and there was an option of screen capture or saving the file.
Thanks in asvNce

Hold your finger on the image (long press) then save the image.now you can open the image inside the gallery and set as a wallpaper.
Hope this helps

So any time I try to set a "HD" image as a wallpaper, it blurs and zooms in way too much. I've noticed this is a common issue with honeycomb tablets and have tried the "tricks" to get around it, but no luck. I know you can set wallpapers to look correct as I've seen the screenshots. Any tips on getting this done as the stock wallpapers just don't cut it?

What dimensions and resolution are the images you are trying to use?

Been trying 1920x1408 as I've read that was the optimal resolution with the way honeycomb crops wallpaper images. Some look halfway decent, most just look awful. And honestly not sure image dimensions. Just been googling HD images

Search "Multipicture live wallpaper" in your market app.
It will set your images up correctly no matter what resolution they are (provided they aren't super low-res). It's a free app.
Once installed, it comes up as a choice in your regular wallpaper settings.
Sorry, I can't post links up, or I would link directly to the app.
Also, if you have a little photoshop beginning skills, you can make a template where you can overlay your image as a layer, and see exactly where things need to be moved.
When you set wallpaper from Gallery, they use a sizable template, so it will give you a good idea of what the parameters are.

Thanks. I got that and tried. While it does keep the whole image and leaves it without distortion, it is framed inside a black box. But it's better than before lol. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

Saw this as an option as well by others. Very little Photoshop skills, but I can learn lol. I'd like to use some of the different pics I find and this seems like the best alternative to still be able to use most of the image. Thanks

Yeah, I think I'll try and make a template when I get some free time.
There was a guy who had one a long time ago, in the themes section, but the link to download was broken (he had it on megaupload), and I looked and seems he deleted the thread a week or so ago. Link didn't work, but it had an image of how the template looked (similar when you choose wallpaper from gallery)
I can tell you some things.
1. keep it as a psp so you can keep the layers
2. Remember, it will have several layers. Overall size, portrait, and landscape.
3. Use a different color and transparency for each layer.
4. Also, don't forget the top, bottom, and side borders.
5. Use your image as a new layer, and move it to the back of the template, do you can see what parts are going to be shown in both portrait and landscape. Then you can resize and move around the layer as needed.

Thank you very much for the help. I'll give this a whirl as soon as I can get back to my laptop and have a chance to teach myself a little. I've found a somewhat decent alternative in the meantime, Wallpaper Wizardii. It's not perfect, but it is by far the best results other than making my own. Oh and nice ROM by the way. Thanks for your hard work.

Another great tool that will work for this purpose is Wallpaper Wizardii. It's free and is not a live wallpaper. Lots of options... In your case you should choose the "scale" option if you decide to try the app.

When I use the S-Note program, and I create a new note I am having an issue. Let's say I start off with a blank note and I write the date and my name in it. When I tap on the + symbol to create a new page, nothing happens. So my real question is, how do I add another pag to an existing note. I really love this tablet. I upgraded from a Thinkpad Tablet which also had a pen. Nice tab, but this one is superior in so many ways. Now if only I could figure out S-Note.

Bottom right for new page... 1/1 should change to 2/2 etc.

Well, dafuq? Now it starts working. I tried both pen and finger before. Other than making the icon light up, nothing happened. Now I go through the process of taking a SS and editing it, uploading it and so on. And now S-Note decides to behave?? Ok. Weird, but ok.

Ok so after the JB update I cant seem to save my own custom pens or access the productivity tools. Are those available in every template?
Also, even though I have told S-Note to ignore finger/hand input, when I rest my palm on the screen it zooms in. So um yeah.
I really miss pen only mode that my Thinkpad Tablet had. Is that even an option? I've dug around in the system settings for the S-Pen and I was unable to find anything like that.

Ok ok I figured it out.
It's the template.
I can do formulas and shape matching in the note template, but not in the memo template. Which is oddbecause I would think grap paper would be better suited for match and stuff like that than a yellow legal pad.

You can change the background of any note by tapping on the note Settings in the upper right corner and selecting change background. You can even import another image to use as a background. I just have not found where you can save the imported image as a new background template.

If you do please let us know how. A lot of people have been looking for a way to do that for quite a while. For awhile it seemed the S-note update may have that ability but it doesn't seem to.
HI, I'm scissors_cut_paper. I have recently taken a disliking to sacrificing my home screen real estate for a dock. I am currently using slimkat, which has the ability to assign a long press function and custom icon to navbar buttons. To that end, I have created some dual use navbar icons, based on stock kitkat, but representing both functions of the navbar key. Now i'm no themer, but paint.net is pretty easy to use. If anyone has good ideas or request I may entertain them, though I would recommend having a play yourself.
To set these keys/icons in slimkat use settings/navigation/navigation bar/buttons.
The current icons I have made are-
Notification pulldown/longpress Quicksettings (Never reach for the top of your screen again)
Back/longpress kill app
Home/longpress application draw
Recents/longpress menu
Filemanager/longpress ?
Download - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v9sz5sco0bdrue0/f_9QvTcLcT
All credits to slim for implementing the functionality, all i did was make some buttons.
Video of implementing (not everyone will need this, took me a while to figure it out though) http://youtu.be/ist7kSStb9k

YouTube link added in OP. Can do a quick video of how to implement (in slimkat, anyway) if anyone needs? Also did some cleanup, changed file explorer icon to better match stock theme.

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)
