Im not really sure if this a theming question or a developing question since I dont know if this is something done with code or not. But I was wondering if its possible to blur backgrounds when a pop up window is in the foreground. I see that it does this when I power down or reboot the phone. I think it would look cool if it did this for all pop up windows. Ive also seen a video where some guys phone did this. If I find the video again, I'll post the link.
EDIT: Found the video. It shows what Im talking about at the 30 second mark.

Does anybody know how to fix this? On the bottom left where you get notifications, my machine is showing a round circle of small circles, like a loading timer. I click on it and under notifications, it says Ongoing, Loading Data, Please Wait... 12:22 AM. It looks like something is caught up. It's not hindering me from doing anything, but something in some small place must be a little out of whack.
Also, whenever I plug in my NC with my USB into my mac, iPhoto is opening up. It never did that before I did some of the other modifications last night.
I have a rooted NC that I then went and enabled multitouch. I also installed su and the Superuser app. I went through the process to be able to use live wallpapers. I then installed the stuff to get weather apps working.
Here's what I have installed total to see if anything here might be the problem. I'd hate to have to unroot and start over, but will if need be. All I'd really lose is my progress in angry birds and who really cares about that.
com.ccpcreations.android.MarioLiveWallpaprer.apk

com.chains.apk

com.rovio.angrybirdsseasons.apk

A bunch of the live wallpapers are going to get removed as either they don't work well or I just don't like them. I've just started playing with the ones I found.
Any help with either a process of finding out what's causing this hanging notification or a solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

In general, if you have a an issue that began after installing some stuff, you should uninstall things until the ssue is resolved and then reinstall the other stuff. Then you can focus on the one apk that seems to have caused the issue.
Thanks for the response. I tried that and couldn't figure it out so I flashed back to the original software. Some file somewhere got gummed up somehow. Who knows.
When I just rerooted a little bit ago, I timed things wrong and the root wasn't.....right, I guess. I could install and uninstall apps, but I got a $ when I typed adb shell instead of #. Something was 1 and not 0. I didn't do it right and didn't have true root.
So, back to square one. I now have it rooted correctly and am one by one going through the steps to gain further access to function. I'm only doing one thing at a time, testing it, making sure everything is good and then I move on.
If I get any type of error again, I'll know exactly what I was doing and hopefully the cause.
I don't know if this idea has been tossed around or not, but obviously there are people out there like me who miss having an LED or trackball flashing for notifications on the Nexus S. Something I thought would be cool is to somehow have the soft keys at the bottom of the phone flash or light up whenever a SMS, MMS, E-Mail etc. comes to the phone. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'd like to have something like that for this phone. Hell, I'll even provide a generous donation if it really is possible. If it's been done before, let me know. Thanks all.

I'd really suggest trying to use the search function before making threads, mate, 'cause this is about the fifth time someone has asked that. Yes, there's an app that will do that but it requires a some coding in custom kernel that's unavailable right now. Patience.
In the meantime, I suggest you check out NoLED from the market. That app will use your screen with little colored dots/icons showing what kind of notification you've received. Aside from the colored dots, the rest of your screen will be solid black which on SAMOLED consumes almost no power so the impact on battery life is negligible.

I didn't see anything about this particular subject when the Title brought up the results so I figured it hasn't been talked about yet. Furthermore, I'm not that much of a fan of NoLED when I tried it but maybe I'll give it a second go until something else comes about.
hay guys ,, a couple days a go i saw a post a bout how to change your screen lock using widget locker ,,,, well it was a hard work to do ,,,, but i found this you tube video ,,, its about customizing your screen locker using lockbot pro the coool thing a bout it it doesnt need root or any thing just download some mod in png extension and change the lock screen and thats it here is the video
youtube.....com/watch?v=Daf10b4JCfQ
now what he is doing in the video is just basics but i tried it and i have the same results as in widget locker
i dont know if you guys know a bout this or not,,, just wanted to give you an easy way to make your own locker screen
the video is not a spam just remove the extra dots
this looked promising at first glance but it has horrible reviews on the market....enough to make me not even want to try it
Ive been using it for about a week now and had absolutely no problems with it.
LOL! Modifying WidgetLocker is hard?
Explain where it gets tricky, please. Elaborate on the subject.
The problem is that most people want to modify .apks on their device, without a computer. And yes, if you do that you most certainly will run into some problems if you're a n00b. If you do however take ten minutes out of your life and download APKManager you wouldn't have any problems. I used to send people .apks in private when they had problems but I've had to stop. People in general are just lazy, and if it doens't work RIGHT NOW it's hard and stupid.
But even though there are a hundred posts saying "Dude, just ****ing use APKManager already" people insist on choosing the easiest guide to follow: The shortest one. If you don't have the time or interest to modify an app don't even start because you're just gonna waste a lot of thread space. If you on the other hand are interested and have the ten minutes: Use APKManager for all your .apk modding.
/rant.
I like LockBot. It has some neat lockscreens. But I like WidgetLocker better.
lol, i do agree with the above, just sayin, all i did was read the guide by zhk3r and modded and loaded the app within 2 minutes using my computer. but anyways. lockbot is crap imo (well for me), it just didn't want to work properly ;(.
all i am saying if you cant root your phone or cant download a paid app then you have to fined another way

You don't need root to modify a market application.
plss anyone of you have widgetlocker for not rooted device or for 1.6??can any one try to modify the widgetlocker to be able to run for andriod 1.6 stuck..plss
I don't know about a lot of you, but I find a certain comfort in watching all the text fly by as my PC boots up. It's nice to see that stuff is happening and that it hasn't totally locked up. That being said, is there any way to see the actual text of the Android OS booting up instead of having to watch an animation. I know there is a boot animation designed to look like a computer bios and all, but I want to see the actual verbose readout of Android booting up.
There's a thread concerning this already but it doesn't seem like they made much headway. The closest I could see from that thread is the following app.
Cool, I searched, but I guess I just wan't using the right wording or something. I'll look into those.

Also, if you have ADB configured, you can do
Code:
adb logcat
to see it booting. It's what I do whenever I turn on my phone to guarantee something is happening.
First of all let me start by saying yes I know this is in the wrong place. I cannot post in the development forum though because I do not have 10 posts.
I don't know about anyone else but can you put shortcuts on the homescreen? Whenever I long press on the homescreen and press shortcuts the homescreen force closes. Is there any workaround for this?
Edit I also cannot get into the settings.
I know right. It sucks how we cant post in any of the developmental forums .
what launcher are you using?
Nevermind I rebooted my phone and everything is good now. Phone seems much faster. Just looking for a replacement for the calendar now. I like the calendar it came with. Is it possible to restore that?
i would check one of the deodexed system dumps for the service and app apks
as a side note, jorte is awesome imo
