Homescreen background on all Tabs?

Doe anybody know if this is possible? Now I only got the background on the hometab, but it would be nice if it is shown all the time... A quick search didnt do the trick for me

id also love to be able to do this, anybody have any clues??

Yeah i would like something like this too.
Maybe even an option to have a different background pic on each tab, so say i have a Dark Knight pic on my home page behind the clock an stuff when i move across to say settings for example i could have a different pic there instead of the plain black with the squares underneath!

bump, the more ive thought about this today the more i want it!

Looked in the files, but have't found a way to do it :\

Me as well, did a quick look around the picture files and was hoping that it was just a normal background picture, but I had no succes as well :S

well i assume it wud jus be a case of replacing the image of the grey squares wherever that file may be. for having different image per tab would probably need additional software i would assume. then again, im just guessing. gonna keep this thread open because this is something i really want on my diamond

I'd also love to get an answer to this.

This is not possible till now.
If you use the search, you will see, that it is not possible to change any graphics of touchflo3d till now.

Ah ok, I assumed "This is not possible till now." meant it was not possible before, but it is now. Very confusing lol.

Well im hoping that if anyone can do it you can sushilange, Ive already installed a few of youre apps an they are all great!

Lol, that's exactly what I assumed. The 'till' made me think twice, but getting back on topic. I'd love to have this also.

another vote from me also. this would be a nice bit of customization to have..

Sorry that may bad english confused you all. I meant: It is not possible at the moment.

Hi.
Anyone knows if it's still not possible to change the background on all of the tabs?

This would be a very cool feature

it sure would! And I’ve seen a lot of people asking for this feature, so I’m surprised that non of the diamond experts has figured out how just yet.

sushilange and D-MAN666 are figuring this out right now ...
They are developing an app to change the manila files...

No screen...how do i change it back??

Hey guys,
I stupidly dropped my phone in water and awaiting it to dry out, i cant take it back to the store yet as havent changed the ROM back as cant see the screen. Is there anyway of doing it without having to know off by heart the on screen instructions. The screen doesnt seem to repond to anything either. I get the vibrate to tell me its on and that about it, sometimes the SE logo in full oclour before it all blurs and becomes a mash of colour.
I have the stock ROM ready to upload (as kindly retrieved from here) but dont know how to go about changing it now.
Cheers

[Q] Batt App for 7

Can anyone recommend a good Batt App for 7? preferably something that shows a percentage.

the HTC battery tool is the only one available, obviously that is unsigned code so you will need your phone unlocked. MS hasnt provided APIs for accessing that information yet, perhaps in the future it will open it up a bit.

Is it free program?

aye its free, but your phone must be unlocked to use it, you wont find it on the market place, run a search on here to get find it

battery, keyboards...just a lot of limitations on an OS that used to be (too) free to tinker around with, but this amount of control is overboard

cool , so perhaps you wanna try my theme , check it out in the themes and apps section , the longest title thread ever this will be mine

Yeah I bought that app too and later found it useless for me. All it does is basically periodically turn things off. I generally uninstall things I don't use every day or every other day. It reduces bloat, helps boot/reboot/shutdown speeds, and gives the system more free resources to use if it needs them. No use having stuff run that you don't use often or at all.

Adding "Durr" - like functionality to the Galaxy Gear

Hi folks! Sorry if I'm posting the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time, as it often happens too n00bs on such structured forums as XDA's. Please move/mark this post as you see fit if it goes against the guidelines.
I have recently stumbled upon skreksto.re -> products -> durr The Faceless Watch, which immediately seemed to me like an insanely useful accessory, especially for those who sometimes struggle keeping track of time. All it basically does is vibrate at 5 minute intervals in order to challenge your perception of time. :cyclops: There is an article on The Verge which also discusses the Durr, exploring the "Faceless Watch" in more detail. There is already an [apparently, pretty buggy :silly: ] app for the Pebble Watch, which emulates the same functionality. I couldn't help but wonder if you awesome XDA folks could be interested in making a program which would add that functionality to the Galaxy Gear. (and, due to the nature of the GGear, such a program could probably run on any android device, given its very minimal requirements).
I am not experienced with Android programming, so it would take me ages to do this on my own - and even then the end result would probably not be very usable. That being so, I decided to come to the experts to see what they [as in, you] would advise - and if anyone can spare a minute and some lines of code - we can do this
So... Please, Advise!
Cheers

I have to say, I wouldn't normally have found the idea useful, either. Problem is, I can't post links yet - otherwise I'd point you to the video and review which I have looked at. Either way, it may still not have been something you would want on your wrist - i guess that is personal. but I'd like to ask people to search google for Durr and, if nobody at all likes the idea, I'll make do myself. Otherwise, we may have a 15 min project

I could maybe make a tasker app? not sure though

Hi, thank you very much for reply! :victory: That would be a really great start! Then all one would need is the ability to exit said mode. :good:
If you decide to pick up this little project, feel free to delegate tasks to me. I'd learn a lot from something like that. Do you use a Gear?

This is possible, although this wouldn't be used in a all day type scenario would it ? It wouldn't be very battery efficient otherwise.
I find this useful perhaps while public speaking or something along those lines where you want to track your time real time in discretion.
This is definitely possible using tasker without a doubt. Although as I said, will only be useful if used for short intervals.. otherwise quite simply your gear's battery will die.
A better option would be a hard coded lightweight application that would run in the background..

Awesome! :fingers-crossed:
Definitely not for running all day. However, the way I envision benefiting from it is by allowing it to run while doing something unproductive (fb/twitter/random article/picture of a cat) - in order to not allow a 5 min read become something more.
As for public speaking - although I had not thought of such before your post (nor was it mentioned in the original Durr article), this could possibly be among the best applications for such a gadget.
Thanks a lot for replying :good: :laugh:

Yes, I am a Nullified Gear Owner since December 25. @fOmey would you be able to code a light app such as this? I have no idea. Lol
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

@fOmey Speaking of NULLified ROMs, I will try to flash it on my Gear soon [again]. I suppose this would make the tasker app easier to use also. I had tried the NULL ROM [flashed using ODIN] some time ago, but had a problem with the device freezing. Do you think I should try it with Heimdall?

So, basically you want an app that vibrates (for say 1 sec) every 5 minutes? And maybe with an on/off feature?
I could get you that within some hours, depends when I can get the kids in bed

You can help with the beta testing
Should it be a vibrate pattern or just a 1sec long static durr?

Thank you! Really! I reckon 1 second is too much, how about 1/3? Or 1/3[vibrate] -> 1/3[pause] -> 1/3[vibrate]

Oki., got the function working now.
WIll just add a simple On/Off function and then it´s online... Hold on!

Just an idea:
Every time the vibration is different so as to recognise the time without looking.
05= 1/3 second vibration
10= 1/2 and then 1/3
...
35= 3 x 1/2 + 1/3
...
50= 5 x 1/2 seconds.
Different profiles = different custom vibration patterns!

Wow! You rock! :good:

Oki, here it is, pure and simple.
This first release is only working as a timer, so no connection to the actual time.
So from the moment you tap the settings to "On" it will do a 300+300ms vibrate every 5 min until you tap it to "Off" again.
So if you want it synced with the clock, be sure to tap the "On" setting on an even 5 minute
Try it out and we can develop further later on...

Thanks for this, I'll be sure to test it soon. I do a lot of public speaking so I love the idea of having it vibrate at set times as I often find myself checking my watch to keep track of time. I'd be willing to send some compensation your way if you could get it to work like a simple notification system. Vibrate in that pattern at pre-set times, for example, after 20 minutes, after 40 minutes and after 45 minutes from the time it starts.
This would help me a lot.
