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?

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.

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!
I have noticed a lot of folks use Widget Locker and have BattStatt on there. I like that, and have set that up.
But I am finding that the battstatt is not updating, and is maintaining whatever setting it was at when I added it.
Has anyone else seen that, and discovered a resolution?
Hi,
My wife got a Milestone some weeks ago and we've noticed that the clock widget keeps getting late (the system clock is always perfectly in time) if the phone is inactive for some time or if it's been used a lot. I've installed another clock widget and the same thing keeps happening. I've tried both widgets on my Samsung Vibrant and this doesn't happen. Did this happen to anyone else?
thanks
Rafa

Fancy Widget
There another clock and weather widget called Fancy Widget on the Android Market. I've used that widget on my Motorola Milestone and it works fine.
We've tried 2 clock widgets already and both had the same trouble.
We've just realized that all clock related apps are progressively getting late. The phones' stock clock is always on time, but all other apps are late. Any thoughts on where the issue is?
We´ve tested without the task killer and the issue persists. I was starting to think this could cpu related, but I think that´s impossible, otherwise there would be thousands of Milestone users complaining about this.

This doesnt happen to me...
I have used several clock widgets from the market and various roms.
How much is the time drift?

The time drift is gradual. It starts with 1 minute and if it can go up to 10...but then if you lock the phone and then unlock it the system updates the time to the correct time.
Hi, I've been having this issue for a very long time now, actually ever since I started to use the said music player app. It's an amazing app, no doubt, as it gives you a very good music player with a zune-like ui. The problem I have is with the widget. If you put an Ubermusic widget 4x4 on your screen, and the orientation is in portrait, you'll get 6 buttons: prev, play/pause and next at the bottom of the widget, and playlist, repeat, shuffle on the right side. But for some reason, whenever I rotate my screen into landscape, the last three buttons (playlist, repeat, shuffle) inconveniently disappears.) I tried 'resizing' the widget in landscape to see if it will fix the problem, but I find out that even if you resize it in the maximum size that it can get (10x10), it still won't let you see those buttons IF IT'S IN LANDSCAPE. It functions fine in portrait, but the problem is I always use my device (a NookColor running CM7,) in landscape. I tried this on various launchers as well. I primarily use ADW EX and I tried it in Go Launcher but it still won't solve the problem. I tried contacting the developer, he said that since the widget was designed with phone constraints in mind, it will always be that way. I suggested a widget usable in landscape but he didnt respond. I love this app, and I woukd greatly appreciate it if someone can help me out. Is there any way to modify the APK and correct the widget or at least 'trick' the widget into thinking that it's in landscape? By the way, the widget skin I used was the Clear Widgets Skin (transparent one).

Hope someone can help out. :'(
Has anyone else had problems with widgets?
I have two widgets that act flaky:
wifiwidget - supposed to show current wifi connection, it's flaky.
Also use to turn on/off/switch wifi connection. (which works)
screen on widget - widget to force the screen on. doesn't seem to work at all.
It's handy for when I"m eating or something - and way easier than digging through menus.
Any other personal favorite widgets? big screen ones (like full month calendars)
are quite nice on the MIX.
I have the following working on the EU ROM (TWRP'd, Su'd and Xposed)
WSJ widget
NY Times widget
Newton Email inbox
Dark Skies weather
Fenix (Twitter)
All are working well, after a factory reset and re-rooting ( I was getting tremendous G Play FC alerts)
How is your Mix set.up?
Cheers

widgets that update are getting frozen by the stupid battery saving and security measures built into MIUI. freeze those apps and/or follow the instructions on forbes and talked about in various threads to make sure you get instant notifications. its the same concept.
can't wait till someone comes up with a pure android build so i can get rid of MIUI
