Font Size - Nexus One General

Can anyone tell me where to change the font size in the email app on the N1 please.
I am using the standard gMail setup, and can not find the option anywhere (found it in the browser for example)

Yep! with this resolution we should be able to squeeze much more on the screen!
But I'm guessing it this size because not everyone has stick fingers like me

Hey, I want it LARGER Old age.

Agreed about the old eyes.
Just got off of the phone with the Nexus One support. There is no current way to change the font size in the built in apps.
I lodged a complaint/suggestion that this seems like an obvious oversight and a possible violation of the ADA (in America at least).
The rep was very pleasant, but really didn't have a suggestion other than to research 3rd party apps to do this.
Sigh... Hopefully someone will be kind to us old folks

There is an app on S60 for this, so hopefully someone will do it. How hard is this sort of thing I wonder?

DL Spare Parts... I can't recall if it needs root or not, I don't think so.

Thanks, it does not need root, but nor does it affect the font in anyway on Nexus One sadly.
Seems like an old app, you can select difference font sizes, just no way of making them stick, as soon as you back out of selection box, goes back to Normal.
Thanks anyway, have to keep looking.

I probably should have tested it first, looks like it is still mostly a 1.5/1.6 app. Hopefully someone compiles it with 2.1 soon, I will take a look at the SDK for 2.1-update1 and see if it is in there too.

Split the Bill - Freeware

Hi all.
I have never developed for windows mobile before so thought I would try it.
Made a little app that helps you split the bill at a restaurant.
Not pretty, and probably not that good, but hey I find it handy.
The idea is you fill in the Bill, the gratuity and the number of people to split it by and it gives you an amount that each should pay. This is rounded up to make sure you pay at least the bill + the gratuity.
Anyway, take a look, you may like you may not
No installer, just unzip and run. Only tested on a Touch so no idea what it will work on.
Needs .net 2 framework though.
As requested a screenshot is attached.
*Edit* Having looked a the screen shot and used it a bit more I realise the layout is rubbish, so no functionality change but a nicer layout
30/10/08
New version - Can click on Total to Pay, Each pay or Total paid to enlarge the value
There was something similar to this already, called Tippy. Anyhow everyone will ask for screenshots, so cough up

So there is!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431661
And it is nicer looking than mine lol
Actually I prefer yours Dave - it gives more information about the actual bill and total bill. True, it requires more input, but I prefer the extra bits .
If you could tweak the layout as you planned to make it look nicer (good tip to make it popular: give it a manilla theme!), I think you're onto a winner!
As requested a screenshot is not attached.

I will look into how I could at least give it some kind of nice look, manila or otherwise
Thanks
mm not so good at this, I have no idea how to convert my buttons to include images in .net lol
So copped out and just went with a black look for now
This will come in handy when i go to Canada next month, Cheers mate
New Version.
Changed the Split button so that it appears on the number pad not the bottom left soft button.
If you click on Total to Pay, Each Pay or Total paid you will get an enlarged view of the details (for those like me with fuzzy eyesight after a big meal!!)
Click the enlarged text to hide it again.
Still working on some kind of themeing
hahaha nice apps, let me try this, thanks man!

Some people may like to see the insides of their evo

I took a X-ray of my evo and thought some may also like it as well.
Any other request of items to get x-ray let me know.
I have pulled pictures as I plan to use them in a copyrighted application. If you have the pictures already feel free to use them on your devices otherwise I will be using them in an application pack on the market. This will be my first time some please cut me some slack. Also I would also like to see if anyone would like to go in and help me create new versions of the wallpaper.
now that is cool.
I well be their...
Do you have a higher res to use as a wallpaper?

YAY !! The grammer police are FINALLY here, maybe now some order will be restored.
do you think I should get one without the battery? As far as resolution the pacs sever I use will only let me have bitmap images let me know if you would like a bitmap untouched image put up.

I would love to see one without the battery.
Also, I don't know what you mean by PACS server, but if you want you can send me the raw image and I'll host it for you. I'll go ahead and PM you my email address.

Ok here is a image that I adjusted the window level/width to darken the image. It is a bitmap file and it is as large a file as I can get unless some one can work with dicom image protocols.
nvm.......

Could you put all three in a zip and post it as an attachment? I'm not having much luck trying to save the pics on the forum or the site hosting them. Evo wants to save pix as html.
All three image are in the uploaded .zip file.
that is just incredibly cool. if you don't mind my asking, how do you have access to an xray machine? (PLEASE tell me this is what airport security does when they're bored!)
thank you very much

Did you test Notion Ink Apps?

Here you have a link if you want to test them -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928832
Thanks to gojimi!
I'm not sure if any of that is useful other than the OfficeApp, but I may play with the others. Thanks for the link.
EDIT: The keyboard is lame other than the arrow keys feature. A keyboard with arrow keys and a num-pad would be the way to go.

Thanks for the heads up

I suspect they're thinking about the PixelQI screen in transreflective mode where the increased contrast of the keyboard will still make it very useable.
Sign apk? ahh, i'm a designer not a programmer, i merely opened up the apk, modified one of the skins (a png file) for a test.
so, all ive done is altered the filesize and date of one of the inner files.
How does one "sign" an apk?

Anyone got maild working on the Vega? I flashed via CW but couldnt locate it after reboot... doesnt seem to install anywhere
got mail'd working but can't get contacts to show up. i didn't flash it though. unzipped the file on the vega and installed the apk from the folder
I've tried some of the apps here, I'll leave my two cents.
mail app: Brilliant. I love the way it manages the accounts and the look & feel.
Sniffer App (file manager): Looks kind of cool, but doesn't recognize the USB drive.
Calendar: Looks nice but I don't use it ,so can't compare.
Browser: With the email, the best of the lot. Just one annoying thing. I have to reinstall it every time I reboot. Weird.

Run Apps in Windows

Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is any sort of way to have apps open in windows instead of opening on the entire screen. I for some reason remember seeing something like this a while back but I don't know if I'm just having created memories or if I actually saw it.
Thanks for any help
Yea there is some company that tried to market it to OEMs for gingerbread a while back I believe. I haven't seen much recently on this accept that the ipad has a hack for jail-broken devices that allows this feature, so considering the floating apps android already supports and androids superior multitasking it should be possible if some really awesome devs work it into a ROM of find an incredible mod for stock ROMSs. This has always interested me so hopefully we can find how possible it is and maybe someone could get it done.
Edit;
Found the article on this, not as old as I thought, but it is still on an older version of Android.

Thanks for your reply. I was hoping it was already implemented somewhere. Maybe we will see it in the future of this device
There is an app for this?

Aw =( it says it isn't Compatible with my device. Maybe it has to do with my DPI setting

Yea, I have the overscreen browser and aircalc calculator, I had to sideload the browser from my transformer though as the nexus is unsupported. But I would still like to see a mod or ROM that allows this for all apps, much like this mod for the ipad.

is there any app or tweak that allows us to write something on screenshot ?

as the title says, is it possible? i would love to be able to write on screenshot, it's helpful etc.
so if there is a way, please let me know.
thanks!

You mean like Snapchat? Text over a screenshot or drawing like in MS Paint? Just use a picture editor. Go to the Play Store and search for picture editor and find your favorite one. Dozens of options.

true ,but i was just thinking maybe there was one specifically for screenshots. (like the one in note and huawei mate phones)
but i think there is nothing like that for the nexus xD
i will stick to the editors like you suggested.
thanks for the feedback.

I use keep. I share the screenshot to keep, then write with the pen tool, and then share the note... which is shared as an image. Pretty effective way IMO if you don't want to have any extra apps lying around. You have to tap the share icon twice (one for the screenshot, another one after doodling) but you're gonna have to do that with pretty much every app.

Didn't even think to do this, saves installing another app.. gotta get used to it, but pretty useful.
