Can someone create an app so that it will display the battery percent in the background.
There is an app on the market that displays percentage its nothing fancy but it works you might wanna email the author ? Unless someone else is willing
Download AnyCut from the market and create a new shortcut to 'Battery Info' Activity. It gives you a lot of information about battery status.
where is this app?

Where is this app? I have been looking for something like this. Can't seem to find it. See it in peoples themes all the time.
There's a widget for dxTop which shows a battery meter and percentage on the home screen.

Didn't see anything about this on here, so I thought I would let everyone know that flyscreen hit the market today. If you don't know what it is, the app is a locksreen replacement which boasts a number of useful widgets. It's free, so check it out.
well done app!
tweaks i'd personally like to see
1. accuweather edit to enable "current location" along with search city or zip
2. changeable wallpaper?
3. custom color for the bottom status bar.
4. it seems pressing menu OR home unlocks the app. maybe just keep it as only MENU unlocks?
5. would LOVE a fully-functional local music widget. even a streaming one. preferably last.fm
6. it's hard to double-tap to unlock the screen when on the calendar widget.
that's all for now. again great job!
Can't find it on the market. Can anyone upload a .apk for me please?
just downloaded and installed.....love it!

are you serious? just search the market for flyscreen
Anyone have any luck getting the Facebook widget? It says to go to www.myflyscreen.com when I try to add it, but there's not really any mention of it on the website.
EDIT: Nevermind, it turns out you have to login.
this seems legit!
I've tried it but I'm not a fan of flyscreen,
the feed summary stories are so short its not worth reading them and
it is hard to unlock.
I much prefer "buzz deck", kind of similar concept with the flicking between cards but it
works much better for the feeds.
but I guess if you use just the weather and messages widget then this is pretty good
i think it would be a lot better if the added a lock, something other then just pushing the menu button
I love it, but the stericson lock screen is still popping up occasionally... How do I completely remove stericson?
(Using CM 4.0.4)
its not on the market!!! I searched like 4 times and it cant find it.... wtf?
http://www.myflyscreen.com/
You can dl it from here
I like it ok...
But, I was under the impression I would be able to use widgets installed on my phone.
I can't - I have to use widgets that flyscreen has... And, their calendar widget is not interactive (can't open my calendar with it or see my appt's), there is no Gmail/Email widget, and I can't use my own weather widget instead of theirs.
Since I don't really want to use any widgets they have... It sorta makes the app pointless. If I wanted to use a widget they have I would have downloaded/installed it already!
I had this during the beta invite and liked it a lot then and the final revision is not dissapointing. I agree, custom backgrounds and missed call, sms etc. notifications are needed though.
bump
any ideas on removing stericson lock?
Installed it. One of the best app on the market easily. Running weather, facebook and 2 custom RSS feeds. Its kinda laggy and slow. And it also it takes sometime to kick in when you wake the phone up. It shows the home screen for a sec before flyscreen lockscreen appears. This is the major issue. Can be fixed with further optisations. Minor annoyances are the wallpaper. Missed call register and music widget wont hurt either. But still, great app!
This app makes any rom awesomeness. If they can get all the social networks on this app, who needs blur? Has a lot of potential.
Been using the beta for quite some time, uninstalled because of slow performance...
the release version is much more stable, really happy with it all I want is to be able to install and create skins and wallpapers
Really nice concept. Good first release. However, like others have said:
1. Needs configurable wallpaper (my gf called me gay...she would know)
2. Causes great lag returning to homescreen, whereas before flyscreen, return was instant.
I'm a little thrown off by having to give my phone# on registration but I guess that just creates a unique username. Very cool idea, I wish I could customize the background and the alignment looks a little off on the bottom (not quite centered)
Very cool. I'm looking forward to more updates from this app!
After the putchase, it was installed, and when I go to select widgets, not all of the widgets are there. No clock, no weather, not sure how many I am supposed to have.
I decided maybe I need to uninstall/reinstall. Went to market, there was no 'reinstall' option. So I went into Settings/Applications/Manage Apps. and uninstalled. Got message I had a refund.
I presume I got the correct app, as it showed the right company in the Google Checkout.
What should be the right process to get this installed, especially if something is wrong.
One thing I find quite interesting with apps for Android: looks like no way to contact many of the sellers. For this for example I went to their web site, didn't see any support or method to contact them.
This app had downloadble widgets which means not all of them come installed with it.
Further research shows that many users have trouble with this app ranging from issues like yours to battery problems.
The website for the app says that you can contact them through email from the android market. if this is not the case, I would abandon this app on that basis alone lol.
poppycock app works fine on my n1 and my galaxy s.. once installed all widgets are there you only have to download skins for weather and clock.
try downloading with wifi on.. it is much faster.

Thanks for the input, but they are not there 'once installed', if then you have to 'download skins for weather and clock'. Seems to me a clock should be a widget, not a skin. On the site, which has all of 1 page talking of features, they mention things about skins, and downloading skin kits. That implies development to me.
I went to the Market online, but that, interestingly enough, you can't even search on. On thes web site, interestingly enough, NO method to contact them there. But thanks to your tip, I do see an email address on the Market from the phone.
This is quite an interesting learning experience.
The web site that is on the Market is not reachable. Maybe trouble tonight.
I'll try the email route and see if I can learn a bit more about what I need to get this stuff working.
there are 100s of custom clock skins they cannot possibly put them all with the app it would be huge.. you add the beautifull home widget under under skins download and select the clock you want..
The widget name you want is called Beautiful Home, and when you pick that one it opens up a settings box. Down at the bottom it "save and apply." You gotta hit that button to actually put the widget on the screen. If you hit skins instead you can choose what you want, but you have to apply each time as you back out of the settings interface to make the widget "stick". Small learning curve. Once the widget is up, you can hit the weather to see the big weather popup, and hitting the menu button there brings up settings and skin buttons.
This is my favorite widget, the most reliable. I have submitted skins that were accepted, so I know they are responsive. If you still need help let me know.
Thank you so much for the details. You'd think an app that is at a cost, however small, would have at least a base level of documentation on their web page.
Question: Is Beautiful Home a different set than Beautiful Widgets, or is it just required in order to use Beautiful Widgets?

Beautiful Home is the name of the clock/weather widget that comes with Beautiful Widgets.
Thanks. I got it going.
I was thinking that a 'Home' Widget was a replacement for the home screen or something like that. Its beginning to look like a home widget must be a widget that can be placed on any screen, and is 'home' to other things you will be adding, as opposed to replacing some other home widget. Is that the case in general?
How's that for a tongue twister?
I would like to know if you all recommend this app for the Captivate?
Beautiful Widgets + Launcher Pro = Fantastic UI experience
I've been using weather and toggle widget and like it more than beautiful widget but both are nice.

Which Weather Widget and Toggle Widges are you using?
I have Beautiful Widgets along wiht Beautiful Weather LIve Wallpaper, and really like it. But I'm always interested in seeing what's out there.
Is there a way to remove the widget locker icon in the status bar? ?? At first I wasn't sure what that notification was then I disabled widget locker and it was gone. So is there a way? And what does the notification mean? It goes from number 2-3. Any help is appreciated!

Have you checked the dev's website? Or the comment section in the market? Or the settings for the app?
I'd try and do some reading around and see what you come up with.
Look under advanced settings of the app..its there.just not recommended

I've never had an issue with disabling it on either 2.1 or 2.2, it never seems to get killed by the OS (having it in the notification bar makes sure it never gets killed). I don't know what numbers the OP is seeing there though it should just be the little Widget Locker icon, the numbers are likely related to another notification.

There is the root option for WidgetLocker so it never gets killed, that's what I'm currently using myself.
Anyone know if this breaks the 4 lockscreen mod? Or is it just strictly an overlay?

It's an overlay. Sometimes you will see the original lockscreen pop up first before WidgetLocker, but you can download an app to fix that.

Are you talking about adding the youtube widget?
You need to install a launcher, like zeam. Then set the new launcher to respond when the n key is pressed.

So.... ive been digging around this morning to no avail........
What im looking for is an app that i guess would be considered a simulated app drawer? Not a home launcher. For example, it would list all apps and allow you to run them from within itself as shortcuts just like the normal app drawer does. More specifically something that would allow the changing of said apps icons. At the moment i dont care about any battery drain side effects that using an extra app drawer app would cause.
Anyone know of anything like this?
Note: Remember im not talking about an entire home launcher, im well aware of most all home launchers and there abilities or lack there of.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: At best the closest i can come to this is to create a folder and add apps to it by dragging folder organizer shortcuts with custom icons in it into it. This is a time consuming process and needs to be manually updated every time an app is installed.
Something like Simi Folder?
Thats one option i was looking at but when it comes down to it it would basically require the same effort that folderorganizer does.
I think what i really need to do is research creating icon "packs" that i can link too that would auto assign an icon to an app. Simi is a bit more pleasing to the eye though.
Edit: haha thanks for posting that i just reread the simi folder thread and realized i missed the fact that it has support for icon packs... So does folder organizer though. I guess im kind of looking for something thats right in my face.... 0.o... Im just not to fond of trying to learn how to create icon packs... wonder if i could just mod one and sign it with a test sig...
Edit Edit: Nah after installing simi folder its actually less capable of doing what im looking for then folder organizer is.
I know you're not looking for another launcher, but have you checked out Go Launcher Ex? You can create folders inside of the app drawer with that launcher, which is what you appear to be trying to do.
If you already checked it out and it's not what you're looking for, then... at least I bumped your thread
Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
Have you tried circle launcher? It allows you to. Create a widget on the homescreen and within it you can choose what appear you want it to launch
Its.essentially like folder organizer but.with eye candy I guess. Not really sure.how else to.describe it.

I was thinking the twgtglauncher puts the app icons in tiles. Maybe you can edit that launcher. Are you trying to create a "Glowen" app drawer?
