Someone I know likes to use pwall to change my wallpaper regularly, and so needs a healthy stock of images to choose from. She also sometimes like the wallpaper to be a bit more risque than just a landscape scene . Tineye is good for finding the source of images found on the web but wont work with adult content. Are there any other reverse search engines that will?
Obviously PM in reply rather than post NSFW links.

Hello Group (first post )
Any way to have the HTC Home Weather Screen display Weatherbug Direct instead? As an app, I like Weatherbug much better (more info, easier to pick various cities, etc), but of course it takes up that extra screen-estate.
I've already done a search through the registry to look for any sort of "run" line to a seperate weather app that I could have just changed, but of course nothing's quite that easy.
I'm guessing it would involve modifying htchome.dll, which is a bit beyond my paygrade . But I'm hoping not
I've done a search every way I can figure how to see if this has been already discussed here, and couldn't find anything. If I've missed a previous post on the topic, my apologies to the group
bump as well for me....thanks
Bump, I'd like to see ANY choice in weather apps for the HTC Home app other then the default one, because it doesn't support my city without a dll hack.
So, I have absolutely no knowledge of any type of Android coding, but I'm hoping to learn through trial and error. I've always hated the native Music app -- especially its appearance, but also certain features here and there. My question is, how can I go about editing this?
I'm in the process of re-skinning the APK, basically replacing the old images with better ones. But how would I go about more substantive edits? Suppose I wanted to change the background color to white and the text to black, or the time-jumper at the bottom of the screen from orange, how would I go about that? There's some XML files in the APK, but whenever I open them, I get a bunch of odd characters that I can't really make sense of.
Am I correct in assuming that the source code is not available for Music.apk? If it is, how do I get it and where do I go from there?
Like I said, I'm an absolutely beginner at app creation/modding, but I'm usually a pretty quick learner. I went from zero web design experience to replacing my University's housing website with a brand new one in less than a week, so if I get a push in the right direction, I should be good to go. I did a site search for tutorials on modding a system app, but couldn't find anything.
Any help?
PS: Once I get some edits started (if I ever get that far), I'll definitely be sharing it with XDA. So, any advice you could provide could be mutually beneficial!

Not exactly a secret.
Why wouldn't it be available?
Ipod touch music player
not even kidding and all apple hatred aside, i've always wanted a ipod touch style music player on android! the touch music player is nice looking and very easy to navigate through. if you could make something like that, it would be PERFECT!

Something like that would be pretty simple cause its just list views that expand other list views.
As for starting to edit you can change most of the colors is the strings.xml and the layout xmls. For images make sure you dont replace .9.png with normal images. If you have the sdk setup use draw9patch in the tools folder.

Thanks, that helps. I'll get started by taking a look at that.
I'm not sure why I thought it was unavailable. I mean, some of Google's other apps are close-sourced, thought I suppose those are all part of the Google Experience.
I guess I thought that if the source code was available, someone would have improved the Music app substantially by now. In my opinion, it's terrible and could use a lot of work.
Trying to track this down, can't find it on any of my main sites. Also if anyone has this dock, I'd be appreciative:

You might need to have DA account to download it, I'm not sure. It also has a couple of different colors included besides that blue one.
Thanks a ton!
If you easily want to find other wallpapers or pictures in the future you can use TinEye
Hello everybody! Being an idiot myself, i've always admired what everyone of you might've already seen, i'm talking about this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFHshctPO9E
Since i've been sleeping not so much lately, i came up with an average insane idea and i hope anybody could help me to create something AWESOME.
I'm talking about the vid, exactly at 1:54. That's where the elevator scene is, and ends at 2:02.
Now, about my idea:
How cool would a live wallpaper be? But not a looped one, is it possible to create a live wallpaper that activates everytime you slide through the home tabs? To put it simple, i'd like to create a live wallpaper that opens the elevator doors when you slide through tabs. I don't want anyone to make this job for me, i just want to know if it's possible and how should i begin to make it. And i will of course share it once is finished.
Thank you for your attention.
Gangnam style yes, it is possible i think, but i am not an LW developer, so, let any other person talk.

Thanks for the reply, i was starting to lose any hope
I had a random look at how to create live wallpapers, and it doesn't seem that hard, but what i want to do is no ordinary wallpaper. I want it to start its animation when touched, or swiped. That's the tricky part i'm trying to understand.
Making a looped one
1.DL the full video in 720p quality
2.Use an video editing program to cut the part you want
3.DL & install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.VLW&hl=en and use it to set your video as a live wallpaper
4.Enjoy

Thanks alot! But what extensions do this program read?
Edit: That's not what i was looking for. I need the animation to run when i swipe through the tabs, not a simply looping video. But thanks for your help.
Hi, I'm really new to wp8 development..
I'm working out to create wp8 app functioning like instaweather, able to take a photo and apply simple editing like words, numbers to the photo.. so are they any proper sample or tutorial for me?
In addition, I want it also to do some ability to drag the words/text on the screen while people taking photo so that they can put the text on their own wish.. got my point?
thank you for answer
