Hi guys!
We are planning to release a new application for Android; we already design the app mockup and developed a solid base (and something more).
Now we are trying to give the app an aspect like that
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is a new app from Play Store called Wally.
As you see the status bar and the navigation bar are both translucent, so that it is possible to see the app in background; I thought that this was related to the new ImmersiveMode Google introduced on Android 4.4, but looking at the examples and demos given by Google itself in developer.android.com I start to wondering where these effects really come from!
Do you guys know to achieve that? We designed the app in that way and we would be so sad to change direction now!
Tanks a lot for paying attentions, see ya!

Well that is enirely possible and as you say was introduced in KitKat you just have to draw behind the nav and status bar and use a TranslucentDecor theme.

Anyone know if there is a small app to allow you to toggle from a display with menu and task bars to full screen in any app?
TIA
Ed
You might want to take a look at this... VJ's contribution of the toggle tool for today.

I'm working on a new interface and possibly combined version of Fullscreen anything and VJToggleToday II. Hopefully this will allow fullscreen anything...

thanks mate!
but what is "fullscreen anything" - i couldnt find it!!!
ed
"Fullscreen anything" isn't a program I've released (for now).
I was asked in another thread if I can make an app like VJToggleToday II but for all apps. I said that I made such an app once, but didn't release it because the OS sometimes doesn't know how to deal with "enlarged" apps.
However, since the code for VJToggleToday is nearly finished, but I now need to put an interface around it, I had the idea to combine it with that old unreleased app, to make a combined version.

I spent a bit of time this weekend working on a new idea for this.

Lovely job!
I can't wait!
it'll be very good if it helps me have more screen space for apps like flexmail and pocketinformant! I tried the VGA method but it hurts my eyes to much!!!
Hopefully, and this is theoretical right now because I don't use Pocket Informant, it should work on just about any app. Good thing I wasted so many gazillions of hours writing VJSmallIcons II! Some apps need some "jiggery pokery" (that's a technical expression) to make them fullscreen. However, some apps just don't like to go fullscreen, although the worst that'll happen is you may get some graphical glitches (which is why I didn't release before). I like NewsReader in fullscreen mode, which it doesn't natively offer.

cheers vijay.
I looked at buttonmax but there is no wm5 version yet. Im sure your job will be smaller, slicker & better anyway. (schlurp schlurp, sucking up!!!)

Hi all!
REQUEST
I've been working on this using Basic4PPC, and it's coming along quickly and nicely. But, I'm using the unregistered version!
I initially wanted to charge a tiny fee for the app, but I have a better idea. If I could get donations to get a proper license for Basic4PPC, then I'll release it and any subsequent versions and updates as freeware instead. Hell, I'll open source the buggers.
In addition to this, it means I finally have a development platform I can use to make the apps that I've always wanted to. I have the skills, just need the tools: so you can get more apps in the future!

The LGMenu as it currently stands.
My application will have 4 tabs, as per my 10b ROM.

Another day, another application I'm working on.
I have an LG KS20, and one of the coolest parts of this phone is the LGMenu. It's great! But the issue is: there is no customisation whatsoever! So I decided I was going to create something instead.
Currently working on the application itself, using holder graphics.
What would you nice people like to see in this application?
Customisation is a must, as well as skinability.
But what else?
Hi!
I like the LGMenu as well but didn't use it because it's not customizable. Therefore your effort is highly appreciated
Some ideas (see attachments):
- an integrated appointments view would be nice
- scrollable icon view
yy what replace skin for programms menu?
Being able to add wallpapers to the background, man, that'd be the best.
dude, if you like B4P buy the app, Erel put a lot of time in it
I did and i didn't even ask other people for money
+1 for scrollable icons
I think this would be most useful.
greets doena
I'm being paid on Tuesday, and I *will* be purchasing B4PPC. So shush.

Hey guys,
I'm very excited about the upcoming moto 360, but one important feature for me is a stock market ticker.
Is there currently one available for android wear?

Google Now can track stocks and give you updates and Wear supports Now cards so yes.

Though, I'm not sure how "detailed" they would get.
On my phone with google now and stocks all I usually see is something like "GOOGL 34.87 3.76 12.09%" for each stock one per line. However clicking on a line opens up a more detailed view. The question is (and I don't have a watch yet to test this out) will this "expanded view" be available on watches? And even with expanded view I would imagine some would need more detail/certain details that are hard to distinguish on such a small screen etc.

** OH, apparently I wasn't paying attention and typed it "Lollopop" instead of "Lollipop". I'll just blame the adh....... puppies!

Looks cool, but what's so special? Change log anyone?
Looks very nice. Glad to see Sammy is embracing the styling of lollipop and not completely covering it up with TW!
Doesn't look to interesting to me. Besides some new animations and stuff? What else is it going to be able to do? Is it going to be able to write to the sd card again from 3rd party apps?

Lollipop brings full SD Card support for third party apps.
I’m not a fan of the flat look. I like raised buttons, shadow effects and more colorful icons.

Thats definatly a plus
more stuff in the notification drop down?
Did any one else notice the "S finder" and something else under the brightness bar on the notification menu?
Samsung quicksetings take up half my notification bar, and my sticky apps take of the rest (Pebble, Withing, etc)

Updated video preview running 5.0.1 on Note 4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7f2N_Dj2mg
That guys voice is abnormally high pitched.
I've updated my device to Android Oreo (AOSP Extended) and immediately noticed the new "design choices", which led to the following problem:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's how it looks like, when I'm trying to download an app using Google Playstore. The progress bar, the name of the app (which is showing the notification) and its icon are completely missing, is there any way to fix this?! Unfortunately I didn't find any way to change the background colour - it would be even better to get rid of the new "everything is white" design, but I would be already happy, if I could at least read my notifcations ^^
I have already spent way too much time searching for a solution, but I didn't find anything (except installing Subtratum Theme Engine, which seems to be a bit unreasonable for just changing the background colour), so you're my last hope

You don't like the new design? It's called Ultra Minimalistic Material. Deal with it, it'll grow on you soon. Besides you should know what's in the notification by now...
jokes aside, just use AEX 5.6. It worked flawlessly. You can also change color on both the rom you have and 5.6, just go to Settings - Display - more
