How do you use the backgrounds option on the camcorder? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm not sure how to use this option in video. It's under the faces option.
What does it do and how do you get it to work?

It's basically the same thing as the backgrounds option in Photobooth on a mac. It kind of works the same way as a green screen does (such as in weather reports). You step out of the frame, let it calibrate, and then you step back into the same frame, and now your background is customized. You obviously have to keep your phone extremely still and in the same frame for this to work. You can choose from several backgrounds to have (sunset, etc). So... yeah. That's what it is.

[Q] sense screen removal?

hey there i have a 2.3.3 dinc2 so i cant root it yet but i really do like the sense widgets so dont wanna change to adw or launcherpro, but wondering if there is anyway to make it 5 homescreens instead of 7? i know on touchwiz you can but ive looked through all the settings and cant find it on my di2. anyone know if it can be done and how?
No you can't
Why would you want to get rid of home screen? If they aren't getting used then you most likely won't see them and won't bother you. But from what I see after having played with my phone there is no option for that.

Wallpaper position...less screens more of the wallper is visible. I hate that you can't pick which screen is the home screen either.

Err. I guess I had problems trying to get the picture not to get blown up when setting wallpaper.

You can. Go into the Sense previews and hold in one screen and you can move it. Is this what you're talking about?

No not really, that just let's you move the screens around but the home screen is always the center one. what I meant was making any screen the home screen regardless of that screens position

I don't quite understand what you want it to do..You can make any of the screens the home screen by moving it to the center.
He wants to make the left-most screen (for example) the home screen, not just move the contents of the left-most screen onto the center screen.
And yeah, the lack of home screen configureability is probably the biggest reason I don't use Sense. I only use 3 to 4 screens, and don't need or want any more.

Fix for washed out colors on Nexus 7-toggle for nvidia tegra 3 prism

Just came a crossed an app that disables the tegra 3 screen dimming function which causes the washed out colors. The app is nvidia tegra prism toggle...used it and noticed a big difference but MUST BE ROOTED TO USE THIS APP
MOD Edit: Links Removed.

It can and does open but ask for rooting rights as soon as it starts
Worked great here. Thanks for the find!

it's been sad many times,i think there's also a 3ad somewhere of prism toggle by nvidia.Anyways,if you don't want to buy the app,you can use the tricksterMOD app and by disabling smart-dimmer in the proper tab,you do the same thing (echo "0" > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable)
EDIT ehi,but it's warez!!!!!!!!!!!PULL IT OFF!
thanx guys, trying this out,,steve

I noticed that if I'm playing a youtube video, and I press the recents button, the icons look wash out/almost white. not anymore with this app.

there is no problem with the display. its a power-saving feature which doesnt save any power from what i was able to find out.
problem is that it washes out your colors. its extremly visible when you watch video for 10-20min and then press HOME. it stays like this for good 30+sec. after that it goes back to normal. watching a lot of movies, its visible whether I have this turned ON/OFF.

Lockscreen Notifications

Hey I found his nice app for displaying missed called, email and text message notifications on the lock screen somewhat like the iphone. It's setup as a live wall paper to show notifications in the background, that way you don't need to change our your original lockscreen.

The app is pretty good but I notice the home screen lags just a bit with it enabled.

I had major lag with this. Might need a 4.2 update before it runs right. Great app tho.

Same here. Too much lag to use.
Trying to figure out how to make the widget show on the main screen (under the clock) like in your image. Can't see a setting that does it... anyone else figure that out?

Having some problem with s-pen and screen capture tracing...

Hi,
Have noticed when trying to trace an image with my s-pen on the screen with the button pushed that sometimes it just doesn't seem to "take" and capture the image even though I have traced all the way around to the little beginning circle. This seems to happen mostly if I am tracing a smaller image.
Am I doing something wrong or is this just a bug? If it is a bug is there a way to fix it?
SECONDARY QUESTION:
It seems the only way to crop out a square image is to do a screen capture by pushing down the s-pen button and pressing it to the screen then using the crop tool. However, it would be nice to be able to actually draw a perfect crop square in the same way we do a trace capture. Is there any combination of buttons that does that?
I have noticed on my Note 10.1 tablet that I can trace an image in one multiview screen then just drag the into s-notes in the other pane and it pastes. However, with the GN2 this "drag and drop" doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong?
Last thing. Have noticed that on my Note 10.1 I can do a screen capture of the active multiview pane; however, with the GN2 it seems to capture both multiview panes then squishes the entire capture into one pane. Again, am I doing this wrong or is that a bug?
Thanks!
for perfect squares, well and now everything I have been lasso'ing a larger area and then using the photo editor app to crop them down ...for the reason that I noticed the longer I take to get a clean lasso the less chance I have of it working.
Interesting find on the screenshot deal. If I take a screen shot by hand swipe it is normal. Taking it with the pen results in squished screen.
As for the drag and drop I swear it worked out of the box...then the ljc update changed it but I could be wrong. I just know it does not work that way anymore. Similarly I recal draggingbthe lasso'd image to say messaging in the icons at bottom of screen ...now after the update I just hit messaging

I guess the point is that there are a number of things which work as they should on the Note 10.1 that don't seem to work that way on the GN2. It's not a screen real estate issue so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Just seems kind of buggy to me, especially the tracing part.
My Note 10.1 came with a specially designed version of photoshop but I'm not seeing that on my GN2. Am I missing it? I guess I just expected these to be close to the same except smaller. Maybe not.
For instance on the Note 10.1 in multiview each pane gets its own Min, Max and Close buttons but not here. Odd.

I know about those who but they aren't the same. On the Note 10.1 each frame has its own buttons which remain persistent. Like in Windows. Much better.

I find it works best to hold the button, draw your shape/circle then lift the pen with the button still held... works every time.

Do you have auto rotation enabled? I modded my Firefox to automatically enable it and then after I hit the full screen button and rotate me phone the picture comes back.

Thanks for the reply. I do have Auto-rotation enabled, I just cant figure it out at all, the streams will play fine if I rotate my phone and zoom it to screen size, but not if I try to play it as a full screen video.
