Hello devs & m8 users! I've got a question to you.
After moving from 4.4 to lollipop I was frustrated to its multitasking scrolling slides. After a month I'm almost got used to it, but have a concept of how it could be slightly better.
Since sense5 HTC got a very neat multitasking feature with the windows of running apps composed in a grid:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It was great to use your phone on the go, not going to many moves
Today using lollipop slides it is sometimes very hard to find the exact app you need - most of the card slides are used by chrome windows, or a mess of ungrouped apps. So I thought it would be great to compose them in single "slide cards folder" - you just simply swipe from left to right, browsing through them, the way HTC realised the whole multitask in sense4:
It is also possible to combine other apps in "slide folders" with their lables related to google play - for example a photo "folder" where apps like "pixlr, instagram, snapseed..." are held, email progs - another "folder" to slide", games, sports... etc.
I believe that this raw concept can bring an order to the mess of opened proramms & give people more user-friendly experince.
What do you think about this thing, guys? And is this even possible to code?

Hello,
what do you think about a re-order of the devices in the forenlist? the newer htc devices are all at the end of the list and we have to scroll a lot? Maybe ist is possible to reorder it to the top of the list?

I agree...better yet have user be able to decide which phones/devices appear when they are logged on.
This has been asked several times before...
First devies goes up and newer goes down, imagine changing the way it has been for years!
No way!, I like it just like it is now
Just my opinion,
While most people think reordering is a good idea. However I'm used to where everything is so please don't move it or you'll make me mad, along with a lot of other "ole timers."
This has been posted before.
And believe me guys...you don´t want to see JimmyMcGee or any other "ole timer" mad

If you really want the page re-ordered (and you use Firefox), you can hide the stuff you don't want with a plug-in called GreaseMonkey. It does take a small amount of scripting on your part- but, hey, why should the admins do all the work?
Greasemonkey basically runs scripts on pages as they load, which makes it possible to customize the way you see (and interact) with other people's websites.
If you're too lazy to do that, CTRL+F will save you a bit of scrolling.
Is it possible to create an application for livescore.com (or other sites) to see the live scores of soccer (or other sports) online? Iphone has an application of livescore.com and I think we windows mobile users can have it also. It looks like simple program which updates the information of the site. I am not a developer so I can not say if it is simple to develope or not, but i thought maybe Xda developers can make something like this?:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
p.s. I know that there is footballmonitor application but it is not a simple application and i think that if it is an application like above, it will be much quicker to look at.
No one?
I've been hoping for something like this for a long time. Pocket Sports Center comes close, but it got to be a bit buggy for me at times.
But if something like this could be combined with pocket sports center, then it would be NICE.
It would be even nicer if it could be integrated to scroll across the lock screen.
That way you wouldn't have to always turn on the phone, go to the program, fire it up, etc.
Set it to check scores at certain times/intervals and scroll the info on the screen.
But I guess I'm asking for too much.
you dont need an app for it...just use link www.iphone.livescore.com save it as favourite and place on ur home screen shortcut and you have, same effect as in the app...
Like many of you, I love my S3. One thing I HATE is the multitasking implementation. Holding the home button for 2 seconds is tedious and slows down the experience of a blazing fast phone
I have managed to overcome the problem and thought I'd share it in case this issue was frustrating others too. Essentially, it allows you to tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen to bring the multitasking bar up. This can easily be done with one hand, and I find makes using the phone a lot faster
Steps:
- Download GMD GestureControl (there is also a free version, although I am not sure if this will 100% work on that)
- Swipe right to 'custom gestures'
- Set up like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's about it!

dear i think u should check the forum before you post... the thing GMD gestures already posted and described in the forum

Hey all!
I would like to make mention of an unbelievable launcher from Chris Lacy called Action Launcher. It is like the TouchWiz vertical drawer on steroids. The drawer slides out from the left, with an alphabetical list like how TouchWiz can be configured. It has many groundbreaking features that I have never seen in other launchers and it's very easy/clean/minimalist. For those who don't like tons of homescreens but still like to use widgets, you can doubletap or swipe an app that has a widget, and it will just simply popup until you press elsewhere. (Similar to Overlays only automatic, less customization, and not persistent.) You can even do this from inside folders on your bottom bar. I've took some screenshots of my setup to show it's awesome functionality. Note: This launcher puts focus on ingenuity over raw amount of customization. It is not a replacement for you customization junkies, sorry; however, I've found I simply don't want to customize much anymore - it's all there! I hope some of you find something you like in this.

It is pretty cool, but its not free and I haven't seen a lite version. I just downloaded a pirated version to check it out. Many cool ideas, but they didn't work very well. I can't spend money on a work in progress.
Hi,
We’re designing our first Android app.
It’s a game app, which works like this: the home screen (the one in the mockup) has the person’s avatar and options like settings. There are certain tasks in the activity screen. For example, “Help parents with cooking.” When this is done, you can check it off in the activity screen. The achievements screen has a history of all previous achievements, details, etc.
The mockup is attached.
My concern is about the bottom bar. I added the bottom bar, to be a constant on all screens, because it makes intuitive sense for navigation—you don’t have to navigate back to the home screen everytime you need to go from say, achievements to activity screen. I’ve read a lot of stuff that says this is bad practice for Android, and to use action bars instead. But this is a kids’ app, and I’d like to keep the icons big, bold, distinctive and also in line with the general feel of the app.
Is what I have in the pic even a bottom bar? How else should I do things?
From the app described i think you need first swith to a bit neutral color becouse of the avatar possibility i think , also revisionate a bit the layout becouse you say is a game becouse is game need to add a bit of details ,
so i ve done a proto of what i say
