Hello,
I was unsure where to post this request.
I like the new feature on the WAD2 for gestures. I have an idea that I am interested in seeing if someone could help develop. I am not a programmer so it is beyond me to even image how this should be done.
I am not sure how many people use the application called S2U2. It is pretty much one of the first apps I install on my mobile devices. The slider gave me an idea for the pages on WAD2.
I was wondering if anybody new of a way to make a slider like that but instead of it being all the way to the left. It will be centered and when you motion/slide it to the left or right, it will do whatever the gesture is assigned to do.
Is anybody up to this task? I can donate a little if needed.
Available in Google Market...
End December 2010 I released WMD-Weather Lite in the Android Market. This widget is based on the WMD-Weather widget I created earlier for the Windows Mobile UI Androkkid. Since then, I've been working on the full version of this weather app & widget, hoping to release it soon as a paid version. This one will extend the lite version, and combine ideas from two other Androkkid widgets I created: WMD-Clock and WMD-WorldClock.
The application features a weather application, showing the current conditions (weather icon, temp, short text, status icons), a 6-day forecast and details when a weather icon is clicked (see images below), including a radar image. Where available (US), the UV index and pollen information/air quality are available as well for today's details.
Multiple locations are supported, as well as 'My location' which is modified when you move, and just about any location on the planet can be added. By swiping left or right, the next location's info is displayed. When the current location is known (via GPS or network), it will be proposed when adding a location.
The application can be set to update automatically.
Please see my site to get the latest information on features (this post is not updated frequently).
Lanuages supported: English, Dutch, German, French, Norwegian, Hungarian
Currently, the application comes with 3 widgets:
Simple weather widget (2x1)
- shows the location,
- the current weather icon
- current temperature and real feel temperature
- next day forecast icon, min/max temperature
- optional background (choice of backgrounds)
- time last updated
- clicking on the widget will launch the app with the widget's location
Weather/Clock widget (4x1)
- the simple weather widget, combined with
- a clock, optionally showing the location's local time
- optionally, the next alarm
- optionally, the current date
- optional backgrounds (choice of backgrounds)
- choice of 5 clock digit styles
- optionally display the hour leading 0 (e.g. 01:00 instead of 1:00)
- optionally select an application to launch when the clock's digits are clicked
Advanced Weather/Clock widget (4x2)
- the Weather/Clock widget, combined with
- an additional row with forecasts for the main widget location and/or current weather info for other locations (including the location's time)
By using the location's time, the clock widget can be used to create a weather/world clock by adding multiple locations with their time to your Android home app (see the images below for an example).
Currently in development for the next version:
- downloadable digit styles and backgrounds
- reworked internals
- more languages: Spanish & Portuguese
Wish list:
- widgets functioning on all devices
- additional weather widget(s)
- screen to screen animation
- slide from day to day in the details screen
All resolutions should be supported, allthough for 320x200 devices, scrolling is required to see all information. And, depending on the screen's density and the launcher used, the widgets may not display correctly. Try out the lite version to verify everything is displayed correctly.
PS: the application is tested on small screen/low dpi resolutions via the emulator, for which the results are correct. However, on the HTC Wildfire the widgets are not rendered fully...
WMD-Weather contains more information, screenshots, version info and the barcode to install the application. The link and barcode for WMD-Weather Lite can be found there as well.
Any feedback - good or bad, bugs, ... - is appreciated!

Thanks Excepter!
Please let me know if you notice any incorrect behavior (clock stops updating, service no longer running, ...).
I'm also looking for feedback on HTC Sense based devices. The widget size may be incorrect on HTC Sense, but I'm unable to test this (on ADWLauncher, my favorite, it looks good on all resolutions).
If you have other ideas to improve the application's functionalilty, I'll be happy to hear this as well...
Good work! I installed this on a htc hero running aosp 2.2 (no sense). I'll report back in a few days if I have any issues/ideas.
Edit: I just got an "error configuring widget" after I changed some of the preferences. Hmph I should have left it alone. Anyway I have to go to sleep, I'll play with it more tomorrow. I wish I had the skills to put together something like this; time is so hard to come by anymore...
Got it tested today on a HTC Desire with Sense (thanks Wim). No issues there.
However, the widgets on the HTC Wildfire (thanks Kurt) don't show all info and the background doesn't cover the entire widget. Something to work on...
Looking good, Ima try it later.
These look really clean!

Sorry for my somewhat late response.
I've had no issues with connectivity. However, in the lite version's comments there are 2 comments (out of 72) regarding update issues.
The app verifies if there's an internet connection available before launching an update. I've been able to test wifi, edge, hdspa, but not 3G myself.
Hopefully other users can share their experience here, to find out if it's 3G or device related. I'll do some research on this as well.
Nice work! Using this on my HTC Hero, no issues whatsoever.
edge, hdspa, don't work too

Did you ever find a fix for this? I have the same issue with one of my widgets...

Nope... not yet. Small screen devices will be one of the things I'll be focussing on next, cause it's really bugging me. I've already put in quite some time and tried some alternative layouts, but without success. If anyone else has a solution, please let me know.
It's hard to emulate. One thing I noticed lately is, that my widgets actually overlap in the small screen emulator. Which is a first (small) step ahead...
So I ended up buying a htc wildfire to do development work on for small screens.
The htc doesn't handle the small screen in the same way that others (such as the xperia x10 and the samsung galaxy 550) do. And what I found was that whilst the bounding box on my widget looked fone on the xperia and 550, it was stopping short on the wildfire.
Within my layout I had a android:layout_marginBottom="15dip" for the bounding box. Duplicating the layout and putting it in layout-small and removing the marginBottom fixed the problem for the widget on the wildfire, but also left a large space on the other small screens. As I have fewer wildfire users than x10 users this wasn't an option. Yesterday I tested a dirty fix; in the settings/preferences menu I have added in a widget layout option with default and small screen (wildfire) options.
When the user selects the wildfire option the widget will load with a layout that doesn't use marginBottom for the bounding box. And this seems to work. Would be good if I could detect what device the user was using so that this could be done automatically.
Thanks. It seems to be the same issue I'm having with the Wildfire. The emulator did not show the issue, but it does partly overlap 2 (of my) widgets when putting one above the other. I was planning on experimenting with relative layouts. Did you try something like that?
How do i enableRecentApps in a theme ??
I have a theme i like and the only thing missing is the Recent App function...
I have enablePowerControl|enableRecentApps in notification_config.txt
But i can´t figure out how (or what) to mod in the framework-res.-files in order to get this to work...
So pleace help me a little with this, as i have created my own little theme from copying different parts i´d like from various other themes...
The REAL problem i have is that i´d like to have 5 rows in both the app drawer and main screen, and at the same time transparrent drawer...
but i have not been able to find that without at the same time to loose the Recent Apps function...
Perhaps this is a noob, but then i´m sorry, i just like to learn a little about this...
After a lot of work and testing Lacuna 3.0 by myself and Trekfan is reborn as Lacuna 42.
You can view a video review of the theme by actionboy here
This theme is released as is, there will be no significant updates to it following this release.
I will however offer a service whereby if you are willing to make a donation I will help tailor the theme to suit you, changing layout, adding additional weather detail, adding additional pages etc.
I have given up a lot of time to produce this theme following its original concept by trekfan who has gone the way of the little green robot so if you like my work and cannot donate at least please say thankyou so I know my work is appreciated and I will continue to come up with new ideas for as long as there is a need.
This Throttle Launcher theme requires version 1.2.1 to be installed and supports full screen 480x800 wallpaper in jpg format.
The homepage from top to bottom features :
a hideable interactive taskbar.
to activate/hide press on the battery icon.
you can toggle the bluetooth wifi and sound profile from the taskbar by just pressing them.
two sizes of clock accessible from the throttle config window.
next appointment accessible by pressing on the clock itself.
the blue icon to the right of the clock is programable
you can assign any quick launch app to through throttle config
notifications for new texts missed calls and emails
current weather condition icon complete with temp and location
app launcher page activated by pressing the icon in the bottom right when on the homepage
The friends page starts with your favourite contacts followed by and add and remove option followed by a full list of all remaining contacts.
The text page shows the last 20 messages recieved with the newest at the top.
The messages page shows similar for a specified email account.
CHANGELOG :
03 June 2011 :
Due to Google screwing with their weather api I have had to modify the theme to use the current condition text instead of the originally numbered icons from the registry. There are several new conditions for which I do not have icons so I have for now recycled existing ones. When a fuller set is made available I will update again.
Please download and enjoy.
The below screenshots will show you in detail what can be changed in the theme via throttle config.
Screen 08 & 09 show the default programs catagorised under Objects.
The majority of settings don't really need any explanation
the clock size is either normal or large
If you change the default sms app from tmail please untick sms default
do not change sms param as this is required by ther program
only one mail account is used in the theme so ensure only one is selected
Screen 10 Weather
Here you can specify the location
units in centigrade or fahrenheit
autoupdate if required should be ticked
if autoupdate is required please provide a period in minutes for the update to be performed
Screen 11 Background / Text
The select path option is used to specify wallpaper.
There is an initial choice of two dark and one light background in the default folder where the theme is installed.
The Background colour is used to specify either lgiht or dark by selecting
0 for dark or
255 for light
The font colour should then be set to the opposite.
under no circunstances should you change anything in the section Here Be Monsters as it will cause the theme to break.

Did u watch on my wallpaper i posted you? I think this is TL problem, but in other devices it is not problem, si idk. I just have to use the one color wallpaper.
Anyway, i love Lacuna
I thought I had replied to you on the development thread, it is the same for me and I cannot understand why when other more complex wallpapers I have used since all work fine. It is something odd with the blending between the black and blue?
And thankyou for your kind comments
I tried blend between the red -black, but there are stripes too, anyway, i found nice wallpaper and it made lacuna more awesome for me So stripes aren't problems for me anymore . (I finally see the top bar transparent )
But, if I wanna let this theme on mobile, it should be more "settings friendly". What I mean? I mean, if I want connect to net via wifi, and in my location isn't only one wifi signal, i have to go to menu, scroll down to windows/samsung setings and there i can connect wifi where I want. So, what about do it like this: If u touch wifi on/off in top bar, it will be on/off wifi, but if u hold that icon for a while, it will launch wifi settings . Do I want a much? I know, it have to be usable on every phone, but owners can redirect it to their own locations (i mean the scripts)
I know I am annoying
Your not, your request is valid but there is no long press in TL see here.
I could change things so it will either toggle or open an action but that would require a major rewrite
Hello,
Have anyway to put an youtube video about this theme?
Thanks.
I dont have a way of recording it myself no but if there is anyone that can please PM me and I will send you my email address so you can send me the video to upload.
nice theme
love the theme, so sick.. but when you go to send a text and have to deploy the keyboard, TL always has to reset! major flaw cause some of the TL themes are so cool, just NO stability
Sorry to hear that, I wouldnt be using TL if it did that myself.
Are you using the latest version 1.2.1 from within the TL forums?
Also are you using the theme as a today plugin?
If you are try disabling it and running as standalone.
Of course, it could just be an issue with the rom you have been using if all the above is correct.
yes 1.2.1... and if i use it as a today plugin, it has to restart, and if i use it as a standalone, the "unnexpected error please try running again" pops up
hmmm? hardware acceleration disabled?
no, it just doesnt want to go in landscape mode, i have a TP2...
This is a portrait only theme and if hardware acceleration is enabled, try disabling. It isnt needed for this theme anyway
no i know its a portrait only theme, just when i go to slide my phone keyboard out to text, it puts my text program into landscape cause it has to, then i send and close the keyboard then exit out of the text program to find its restarting.. i even tried messing with the regedit to make my phone never go into landscape mode, but its a pain and no fun and eventually fails
I used to have a wizard and a kaiser and this didnt happen on either device when the keyboard was deployed. This is either a rom or phone specific issue. Afraid I can't help with that sorry.
yeah no its all good... there needs to be a way where there really isnt a landscape mode it just projects on the landscape screen the same way it would on the portrait way, it would look CRAPPY but still be able for you to do it...
and like this theme and the wp7 v2 fireslave, its cool cause of the seperate messaging hubs, i like that ALOT! and CHT doesnt really have that, and im trying to get someone to make that.. i cant code anything or do all that jazz
That is actually a good idea, creating the default landscape pages using the same code as it would stop it from crapping up when people use autorotate.
looks like there may well be a v2 coming soon

Hello i've been working on a ui design since 2014 and i finally have a launcher thats been begun recently you can see attached pictures of the launcher apk in it's current state and pictures of the final design unfortunatly i lack the funding to get it as complete as i want but an apk is being worked on, this is a different thing that may not appeal to everyone it may be too much for some, it's a complete overhaul of everything from lockscreen etc and it moves away from android quite abit, it begun as a linux distro design but then moved on to an android rom and then to a launcher, SymetiumOS itself is still there but thats when i find help to make it.
features of my ui
1. Custom modes such as pc mode,tv mode,tablet mode and the ability to create new modes, everytime a new mode is made a new settings screen is created, each settings screen has the same options so you can enable the pc appdrawer under mobile mode for example this applies for potrait and landscape under each mode meaning you can move pc mode to mobile mode landscape and have it trigger pc mode in landscape
2.size options for each menu that includes pc appdrawer or desktop appdrawer,notificationpanel and statusbar,recent apps menu, the notificationpanel comes in various sizes if it's set to tablet size then you can pull it down or click it down anywhere similar to an android tablet, this applies to all sizes including the micro size which replicates the feel of a 4k screen.
3.background layer options to appeal to more peoples tastes this includes glass,solid color (material),tranlucency,transparent solid color this layer can be enabled for the desktop appdrawer,notification panel (3 sets of layers for the notificationpanel,category appdrawer,category dock,appdock
4.automatic and manual sorting for the appdrawer if automatic is chosen then the icons of the dock will change using the playstore sorting method, if manual is chosen then the user can customize these categories, removing,renaming,adding new ones, each category consists of an appfield and a widget field above allowing the user to create custom categories such as a news category with news apps and a newswidget
5.the dock can be swiped into from the homescreen but this can also be disabled meaning you have to swipe to reveal the dock and then press an icon, the dock can be at the top or bottom or left or right side of the screen the size of the icons can be adjusted so can the distance between the icons and distance between the edge of the screen
heres an animation for the ui here is an animation showing the ui https://www.facebook.com/symetium/videos/1182698115129367/
Here is the final design of the ui including background layer options,lockscreen,desktop appdrawer and more.

the pc or desktop appdrawer is missing
the custom recent apps menu is missing
the custom statusbar is missing
it's getting there though here is a attached picture of the apk it's starting to resemble my designs.
Ok, I'll wait till the release.

blur for colored layers
automatic app sorting (just like any other launcher that sorts apps automatically)
standard homescreen support widgets,app shortcuts etc (just like any other launcher)
pinch menu (just like any other launcher)
full appdrawer (simply use any full appdrawer)
general settings menu section (a standard general settings section where the reset button is etc)
paginated scrolling for dockmenu
size settings for all menus (no automatic sizes based on dpi)(launcher should not change ANY size based on dpi)

Last time , you said launcher is not ready for playstore .
and what i meant from making it open source was that you drop your apk in xda and ask for developers help and in meantime you will get enough beta testers for your launcher too.
Playstore should work too , its just people go there before they make their app stable and complete
Just giving free #advice
