Does anybody know if there are custom apps or widgets that can be run in the sview window? I just feel like it'd be great to check an email, maybe scan a bar code for eBay, or do anything more than just reading texts and changing songs within s-view. It seems really simple but I'm having a difficult time finding any info on this.

I actually ended up finding a thread on hacking the s-view background and another on just hacking it in general. They seem to be adding backgrounds into ROMS actually. Even if someone completely replaced s-view with an app, maybe a shrunken down mini-game, or a music player.. Something..

This part may be strange and off topic, but I also thought it'd be awesome if somebody hacked a fake s view and added some buttons, that way when you flip it over, it starts up a gameboy emulator..

So I've figured out that the images are stored inside SViewCoverService.apk but I'm still searching for the executable files. I want to replace it with a launcher or something. If anyone knows what files are launched when the cover is on, please do share.
