Thread listing quick setting tiles
Hello team,
I have a partial list of quick setting tiles if anyone needs names to add tiles to their device.
Also, if you've pulled the tile names from your device and have one that's not on my list, please post on my thread and I'll add it.

guys QVGA screens are suitable for our lovely Diamond?
Here are some I've made:
I have a collection here.
Here are some of mine. Some of them are mobile wallpapers which I had already collected. Some of them were 'made' by me taking snips from my favourite collected desktop wallpapers.
I have attached screenshots of how they look on the Diamond because I think it makes it easier to know if you actually want the wallpaper or not. (I find that although a wallpaper might look nice, sometimes once you get it on your phone, it can make other items hard to see.)

[Q] Any styles available to developers?

Hi everybody,
I searched the forums but haven't found anything on this topic: I know that styles are available to customize your whole phone.
But what about styles to customize your own application? (aka "themes")
I've found a good number of tutorials on how to create your own style, and it indeed seems quite easy. But what if you're not artistically inclined?
I am surprised that there isn't already a whole cottage industry catering to developers...or am I looking in all the wrong places?

Calendar for Android

Hey folks,
I have been into this app which has a lot to do with calendar and dates.
I am still confused about the libraries available for it, I will be requiring the calendar to have following features:
- The calendar should change (by month) when I swipe UP or DOWN
- The boxes of month should have specific colors according to the events of that particular day, eg: red for urgent issues, green for vacation and so on
- The boxes should also have ICONS like weather updates for that particular date
- A LIST VIEW of the calendar will also be needed
If anyone has seen any which can accommodate these features, do let me know.
Cheers
Alex
Hey Alex,
for me, these seem more like programming issues, rather than library ones.
For the first one (The calendar should change (by month) when I swipe UP or DOWN) implementing a gesturedetector is the best way to go Imo.
The other three are simple coding issues, like setting backgrounds, drawables and implementing a listview.
As a tip, you should check out a library we made called "CalendarWrapper" (sorry, I can't yet post links, search for it on GitHub). Basically it's a wrapper around the CalendarProvider, so there's no need to mess around with cursors, everything can be done with object methods. It lacks a few features though.
I don't think there are any ready to use libraries with these specific features, so I'm afraid you will have to build it yourself. There are a few date picker / time picker dialogs floating around, or android-times-square from Square, but you'll have to look into extending it with the specific features like image overlay support for the weather/icon.
caldroid
Have a look at caldroid, it does not have all the functions you seek but is very customizable.
Since you are asking for too much in one library, you will have to do a lot of coding on top of any library that you choose.
thankx
Thankx guys, CalendarWrapper did give me something to look into but caldroid has almost done the job for me.
I have finished the bulk of the job with caldroid now it is printing images inside the dates and list view left.
I do know where to start for list view but printing icons inside boxes could be tricky
Will update you guys when I am done with the APP and put it on play store.
Cheers

ListView Styles, new here

Hi all,
I'm really new into Android dev, but I got the basics for doing basic things.
I've got a question about ListViews, specially for horizontal lists for the moment. Is it possible to give different styles to the following item and the passed item?
I've got an Horizontal list that shows 3 elements in the screen (1 in the middle, and 1 in each side half-viewed). The middle item should look with the image and text below (accomplished), meanwhile the two from the sides should have the image with opacity and without text (haves the same style as the middle item).
Is it possible to do that in Android? If it's, must be have some methods to be implemented in the getView()?
I would post an image of what I want, but can't for the moment.
Thanks in advance.

Looking for theme for lockscreen only

This is actually an S5 Neo question, but something that works for the S5 may also work for me. I asked this question in the S5 Neo Q&A forum, but got no response, so I thought I'd try here.
I'm looking for a UI theme that can be applied to my phone which would only change the lockscreen portion, and leave the rest of the existing theme (icons, homescreen, settings, phone, contacts, etc) unchanged.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo model SM-G903W (Canada), running Android Nougat 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1 with TouchWiz Home 6.1.85.12. I am rooted, with TWRP.
I really dislike the standard theme lockscreen clock, which shows hours stacked on top of minutes.
The Samsung store has themes with a normal digital clock, but I don't want to change the rest of my UI, only the lockscreen. (I know I can install the new theme, then overwrite the icons and wallpaper with my old theme, but the phone, contacts, settings menu and so forth remain with the new theme.)
Can anyone point me to a theme that only overwrites the lockscreen? I'm talking about the clock format, not the lockscreen wallpaper (which is trivial to change).
Otherwise, is it possible to extract the lockscreen portion of a theme and install only that? It looks like Samsung themes for Nougat are a closed system and development tools are hard to come by, so I'm not sure if any of the "Basic APK & Theming Thread" in the XDA-University forum is applicable. Advice on whether I can modify the theme myself would be appreciated. If this is something that would be simple to change using Sungstratum, then that could be an option.
An example which takes a desired set of icons from a theme package, and places it into an icon-only package, is given by this post: <https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/samsung-theme-store-icon-hack-icon-theme-t3628253>. I would be grateful for guidance on doing something similar with only the lockscreen from a theme package.
Other ways to get a normal clock, which I have rejected:
- Install a new lockscreen app -- I'm happy with the functionality of the Samsung default lockscreen (except the ugly clock!)
- Create a permanent notification, which causes the clock to display on one line -- I don't want to have the notification
- Downgrade to Android 6 -- I'd like to stay with Nougat
- Samsung Good Lock app -- not compatible with Nougat on the S5 Neo
Thanks for any help,
Justin
