Font Size

Can anyone tell me where to change the font size in the email app on the N1 please.
I am using the standard gMail setup, and can not find the option anywhere (found it in the browser for example)

Yep! with this resolution we should be able to squeeze much more on the screen!
But I'm guessing it this size because not everyone has stick fingers like me

Hey, I want it LARGER Old age.

Agreed about the old eyes.
Just got off of the phone with the Nexus One support. There is no current way to change the font size in the built in apps.
I lodged a complaint/suggestion that this seems like an obvious oversight and a possible violation of the ADA (in America at least).
The rep was very pleasant, but really didn't have a suggestion other than to research 3rd party apps to do this.
Sigh... Hopefully someone will be kind to us old folks

There is an app on S60 for this, so hopefully someone will do it. How hard is this sort of thing I wonder?

DL Spare Parts... I can't recall if it needs root or not, I don't think so.

Thanks, it does not need root, but nor does it affect the font in anyway on Nexus One sadly.
Seems like an old app, you can select difference font sizes, just no way of making them stick, as soon as you back out of selection box, goes back to Normal.
Thanks anyway, have to keep looking.

I probably should have tested it first, looks like it is still mostly a 1.5/1.6 app. Hopefully someone compiles it with 2.1 soon, I will take a look at the SDK for 2.1-update1 and see if it is in there too.

Did you test Notion Ink Apps?

Here you have a link if you want to test them -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928832
Thanks to gojimi!

I'm not sure if any of that is useful other than the OfficeApp, but I may play with the others. Thanks for the link.
EDIT: The keyboard is lame other than the arrow keys feature. A keyboard with arrow keys and a num-pad would be the way to go.

Having an onscreen directional control and an almost full size keyboard is terriffic.
Thanks for the heads up

I suspect they're thinking about the PixelQI screen in transreflective mode where the increased contrast of the keyboard will still make it very useable.

Sign apk? ahh, i'm a designer not a programmer, i merely opened up the apk, modified one of the skins (a png file) for a test.
so, all ive done is altered the filesize and date of one of the inner files.

Thanks for the heads up OP looks interesting.

Anyone got maild working on the Vega? I flashed via CW but couldnt locate it after reboot... doesnt seem to install anywhere

got mail'd working but can't get contacts to show up. i didn't flash it though. unzipped the file on the vega and installed the apk from the folder

I've tried some of the apps here, I'll leave my two cents.
mail app: Brilliant. I love the way it manages the accounts and the look & feel.
Sniffer App (file manager): Looks kind of cool, but doesn't recognize the USB drive.
Calendar: Looks nice but I don't use it ,so can't compare.
Browser: With the email, the best of the lot. Just one annoying thing. I have to reinstall it every time I reboot. Weird.

Nexus 10 Density Class - HDPI? XHDPI?

Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone has been able to determine which drawables directory the Nexus 10 reads from - hdpi? xhdpi? I wish Google would publish this stuff...

It's SXHDPI!
Just kidding. But I'm sure it'll be something similar to this. In the past tablets have been MDPI if I remember correctly, but obviously this is something completely new. All the System .Png's are going to be 200x200 lol.

Well, it is 300 ppi, which is between hdpi (240) and xhdpi (320). My assumption would be that it would thus be considered xhdpi, but I am looking for a definitive answer.

Hey, check out this Google+ post by Nick Butcher. He confirms that the display is xhdpi, and also says that the launcher icon will be taken from the xxhdpi drawables folder.

If you look at table 1, it shows xhdpi to center around 320dpi

XHDPI
I would hazard a guess that it will class as XHDPI.
The reason I say this, is that during development on the Nexus 7, I noticed its density is between MDPI and HDPI, and that it does in fact pick up the HDPI resources.
That said, in order for it to work correctly, any development would require resources in an hdpi-large folder in projects (nexus 7), so the N10 would need xhdpi-large so that it doesn't pull tiny XHDPI resources meant for phones such as the S3 etc.

as posted before, the official answer by nick butcher is:
in general, all assets will come from the xhdpi folder, apart from the launcher icon, which will come from the xxhdpi folder.
when it comes to development, you can of course also create a drawable-***dp folder (sorry, can't recall the exact number now, it was on android design in action either this week or last week), you might want to check youtube for that.

AOSP Live Wallpapers

This is my first post so be gentle on me guys and girls!
I got the Nexus 5 on launch day in the UK and am absolutely loving the phone, been playing about with the Android Open Source Project and compiled the Live wallpapers. Currently got the Galaxy one set at the moment.
Here are the Live Wallpapers from the Android Open Source Project for everyone to enjoy :victory:

thanks for these. wasnt there a version of phase beam that would "move" when you scrolled home screens? or am i imagining that

You will need to allow installation of apps from sources other than the play store by checking the box in Settings -> Security -> Unknown sources.
Hope this helps!

I'n not too sure to be honest, it's the first time i've looked at AOSP before. The last phone I has was the Optimus 3D which was way behind everything for software updates. LG hardware seems sound but their software is lacking so the Nexus seemed perfect with the software being pushed by Google.

So do you just copy it to any folder on the SD card, check the unknown sources box, install it from that folder, and then delete it from the folder on the SD card after it installs?

wow thanks for sharing these! looking forward to doing a couple tweaks and putting them on mine.

It is supposed to move, I don't think it works with Googles new launcher though. What I always hated about this wallpaper though it the big circles would disappear if they were more than half off the screen. It just made it look choppy and ugly. Wish someone over at google wouldve done a better job with it.

It doesn't scroll on the Nexus 4 and if I remember correctly, it was static on the Galaxy Nexus also. I prefer non-scrolling.

Thanks. I tried this with ES File Explorer and it comes back X Not Installed. Then all I can do is hit Done. I tried the PhaseBeam.apk from my Nexus 4. The .zip from this thread does not have an .apk file in it.

Wow thanks man. After upgrading from 6 to 7 i lost all these lwps.

default Alita (mi 9 Explorer) fingerprint animation from transparent(!) version

is default Alita (mi 9 Explorer) fingerprint animation present in eu dev and stable ROMs for all mi 9's?
basically, when and if i get this phone i'd like to flash eu dev or stable miui, possibly even Globe ROM (rom builder) and am wondering if by flashing the device i'll lose the fingerprint animation in the process - the one on all the youtube videos of mi 9 explorer / transparent (yes, i know it's not real!)
thanks
like the one in this video
Here's the theme without Chinese/Thai, I believe. Will edit if it doesn't work after my phone arrives next week, hopefully!
To install a MTZ file you can try this free app, just follow the instructions on the page to install mtz

found it!!! it's called mi 9 TE theme and can be found here (or if that fails a quick google search brings it up)
apparently it's available in the theme store as well

Ah OK, I'll have to see. Can't use it yet as only ordered the phone last night!

After applying it with miui theme editor from app store (bcuz im with global) the theme is auto switching to default after a hour or so.

Yep, that's the app doing that not the theme, according to reviews. Try theme swap by Siddharth shakya. Like I say, I can't yet as have only just ordered phone. But it may be better to use that app

Ok, so I think I've found them, maybe. Again, I don't have the phone yet but can I ask, do different Chinese characters appear for different actions, or is it only the characters seen in OP video?
basically, I'm looking for the same characters in the xml file within the mtz file.
(you can use 7zip to open the mtz then (again with 7zip) open lockscreen/advance/then open manifest.xml with notepad and view them, 95+ percent is English, with just some Chinese characters every now and then. I don't know if it'll even work if I just delete all of them, or they're part of the coding..
Tried Google translate app for Chinese characters / sentences using camera, but it's not giving accurate translation. I mean, the words are REALLY random!
I'm not comfortable uploading an edited mtz for you guys to try, in case something goes horribly wrong. But feel free to have a look. Maybe you guys with the phone already can compare the screen message characters with the ones in the manifest. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot altogether!
Good luck. Hope it helps. I'll keep scanning for the same characters in op video... Will keep you posted

what about this thread, the manifest is a different size. you could try and replace the manifest with the one in thread mentioned and see if that works.
the only reason i say to replace the manifest and not just use the mtz as your theme (assuming it works) is because there are elements missing - such as themed mms, contacts, settings etc etc which are present in original mtz. the combination of the two may make it all pukka without the chinese text. (JUST GUESSING AND HOPING!). other files in the mtz container/lockscreen/advance/manifest are the same size.
the clocks in root of mtz are different, so i'm not sure what's going on there. perhaps just the different colour (white vs red/white)
can't wait to get my hands on the phone and have a tinker!!

Probably doesn't matter, the themes don't stick for more than an hour or so when applied with apps. You have to only use the them store, for now!
