BeamWidgets - Flashlight Widgets for Desire *26. July, 2010*

I started to code a small widget collection to make good use of the nice HTC Desire flash led as flashlight and more...
At the moment only one App Widget is ready for testing, more widgets and configuration options are in the works.
(also works on standard ROMs, no root required)
If someone wants to give it a try:
While in configuration the led is on so you can check how bright your choosen level is.

I'm liking it so far, the simple on off from the widget is preferable to a program. Thanks f3d0r

Brilliant. Simple. To the point.
Is it possible to do another widget (different program) that does the LED light at FULL power ?
Thanks.

I like the idea. I don't like the icon. And could be brighter?
Screens...

I tweaked the icon a little bit by adding some padding, more sophisticated icons may be following

Does this app require a rooted desire or will it work on any old desire?
UPDATE: Tested it out on my unrooted desire and works fine . Awesome app been looking for one for since i got the desire, i tend to lose things hehe....

A small comment on the request for more brightness:
In full-power/flash mode the led would overheat quickly without extensive cooling (which the desire lacks for sure). The rsult would be a dead led in very short time.
However, a "Boost" widget which switches the led to full power mode for a few seconds will be added next.

I'm keeping this version, I like the slightly larger icon and I dont need a boost
thanks again
and again x

I love the widget as it is, thanks!

Very nice, love it - will it be released on the market?

added to the desire app ref thread here

nice, thanks!
But is it really necessary to read the telephone status and change sd content?
(yes, i'm a little bit paranoid ...)

In fact the Widget does not request any permissions in it's manifest but this seems to be an issue of android backward compatibility:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4101
However, as we don't need this I have fixed the issue by specifying a Min SDK requirement in already updated APK.
regards

+1 for anything that makes it brighter and also Strobe effect ... etc etc.
Thanks

Excellent work

The Widget works well. Maybe make a way to lock screen when you turn it on so you don't accidentally hit other stuff when you're using the light. When I use a light I am usually not paying attention to what I am hitting on the screen. lol.
How did you get screenshots of your phone with Android? I haven't seen any apps that let you do it without root access.

[ZOOPER][CUSTOMIZATION] tb01110100's Zooperlicious Widgets

Hey, all.
I've only been messing around with zooper for a week or so, and it is still absolutely phenonemal. I love it. Here, I will share some widgets that I've created in my own free time. Check back here every once in a while, I may add new ones.

Make sure to install Media Utilities (free in the play store) and open it.
Go to settings and check the boxes for enabling Zooper and making
coverart available. I used WidgetLauncher for my lock screen, but I
suppose you could use this for your home screen if you want to.

Sweet, question, is it possible to replace the crosshair in the 'where am i'-thingy with a picture or shape, so that I could use a pin like in G-maps f.e.?

I don't know exactly how to to do it, but you might be able to get it to work by removing the 2 progress bars that form the crosshairs, then adding in a bitmap of your choice, and meddling with the x/y offsets in advanced parameters to have its position based on #LLAT# and #LLONG#. Hope this helps.
Thomas

Thnx for the great work! Love the widgets you made!

What launcher do you use?
And what is the grid size?

I alternate between nova and action launcher. I think the sweet spot for grid size on the nexus 10 is 7x9.

Can i add the S3 Alarm app? (o replace N4 stock)? as it's more functional & usable...

Can i add the S3 Alarm app? (o replace N4 stock)? as it's more functional & usable...
Hi, it's been over a month as i have replaced my S3 LTE with Note 4, and one thing i'm VERY unhappy with, is the changes they've made to the stock alarm app. Here are the changes i've noticed:
1) background is now white, which actually decreased visibility. i thought i would get used to it, but i can't.
2) fonts are now bigger and slimmer - also harder to focus.
3) alarms now DO NOT change background to let you know if it will be dark (or no) at that time (actually very useful feature)
4) stopwatch/timer - changed font, changed digits, i found the readability is worse now.
5) world time - no more flags, and i thought the readability was better in the previous version too.
6) next alarm is no longer shown in the lockscreen! this is a big problem (you don't see easily if it is set correctly or no).
another thing is that i really enjoyed the S3 app every moment i used it, and with the new version it's the opposite.
here are the screenshots to illustrate:
{
"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"
}
my questions are:
is it possible to copy the S3 alarm app and use it as a primary one? (for stopwatch it's definitely more useful, and i use it frequently on bike trips)
is it possible to totally replace alarm with the previous version? (if i'm not mistaken, it also has a service running all the time, so just copying might not be enough)
any way to fix missing next alarm on the lock screen, without installing any 3rd party apps (which will decrease security)?
thanks!

Hello, I also chanced from S3 to Note 4, and I have replaced many of the samsung apps with stock android apps like: Clock. Calender, messages, calculator, keyboard etc......
Clock:

Its stock android, Not samsung.
If you must have the one from S3, download stock S3 rom, inside app folder there is an app called clock.apk or something similar. You can try to install it on note 4, if it fails samsung must have put some copyright stuff on it.

Say hello to Color Inversion and Notifications (a.k.a Interruptions / Audio mode) quick settings tiles.

Today's new feature: Power quick settings tile
Click to lock the screen
Press and hold to open the Power menu
This one had to be written from scratch because it's not even implemented into AOSP. Also had to implement the press-and-hold functionality myself, since it's not in the official firmware.

Hi Bro!
Just like to ask if this ROM is pre-rooted? and if so, when you will upload this ROM? i just want to try something new more than the stock 5.0 i have. Also, does your ROM have the font changer?
Thanks!

Pre-rooted - obviously. Font changer? no. How often do you change fonts that you need a "font changer"? You can copy new fonts to the /fonts folder manually.
When will I upload it? Don't know, when it's ready? I don't see many participants in the feature-requesting... Doesn't seem to be a lot of demand.

Can you make a DARK ROM? There's none LP stock based so far.

Don't like dark apps. Even if I did, to make a dark ROM I'd need to decomplile every stock app there is, and I'm trying to avoid that so that those mods could be easily ported to future Lollipop releases.

To be honest, it looks too roundy.

I'm making the design decisions, and this ROM is not going to be black / dim black / gray or whatever.
This is a feature requesting thread for people who like the design.

Already found something I hate about Nougat on the S7 Edge

Got the Nougat update this morning like everyone else.
Immediately I notice a problem. Not a big problem in itself, but over and over this becomes pretty annoying.
Here is a hangout message notification:
{
"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"
}
Notice anything? The reply button is missing.
It only appears when the notification is expanded, as seen below.
Ok no big deal. But this means you have to expand your hangouts, messenger, and who knows what other messaging apps to get the reply button to be displayed. Every single time.
One of the big selling points of Nougat was being able to reply directly from notifications quickly. While this is still possible to do with this update, it will require expanding the notification every time. My wife's Nexus 6P has nougat installed and the reply button is immediately visible, no expanding notification necessary.
Is there a setting buried deep down somewhere that changes this back to how it should be? Even on Marshmallow the reply button was visible immediately, though not implemented as gracefully as Nougat, the button was still there without having to expand anything.

Lol the world is going to end without a simple reply button! We are all doomed! ???

I realize it's pretty trivial, but this is not the behavior of stock Nougat. Samsung decided to give us an extra step for no real reason.
Thanks for your input carlosfig.

Is it there on stock android, and could it be just an issue with hangouts?

Unfortunately it looks like Samsung just decided to implement it this way. It happens with all messaging apps I've used thus far. My wife's 6P has the reply button instantly available, no expanding needed.

Where's the battery setting to turn off fast charging? I don't see this setting anymore...
---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------
Anyone see the battery setting to turn off fast charging? Can't find anymore.....
EDIT: found it. Battery. Advanced.

I'm finding it difficult to organize grouped icons in the app drawer. If you already have 9 icons and you hit edit and try to bring one to another page it just won't drop.
For example http://i.imgur.com/WbpjOIv.jpg
I'm holding onto the play games icon soon as I let go to drop it goes back to the first page in the group. Yeah you can remove it and add it again but it'll be difficult to organize them to preference order.
Also did they take away the option in settings for your default launcher? I guess you can get to it by opening the launcher itself but I'm curious if it's just me or was it moved?
