I cant help you with the first 2 issues but i can help with the third. You can do one of two things, install a extra launcher to replace ADW call launcher pro (its in the market and its free and easy) or you can install launcher2.apk, which looks perfectly identical to froyo default screen, I dont think this one is in the market, but its all over this forum. Personally I like the launcher pro rather then the launcher2, but its all personal preference.
I believe the reason that N1 torch high brightness doesn't work is because of the kernel used for 720p camera or something like that.

I know many people here have reported lag associated with the stock lockscreen that comes with the device. I was curious to know that if anyone has tried a new lockscreen and seen better results? Such as installing a vanilla AOSP lockscreen in place of the blur one and see if it makes any difference?
I dont know if the lockscreen is an actual .apk you can change out easily or not, as i have not poked around myself, but i do know that when i owned my incredible many people were switching out there sense lockscreens for vanilla ones and it didnt seem like a big deal
+1 for this question / desire. I too would like to switch out the lockscreen (and indeed some other APKs/items) for "stock" if possible...
Well, I'll tell you this. I use ADW launcher and have not noticed any lag at the lock screen. I've also seen others using custom launchers that also have said they notice no lag.
I've used adw and launcher pro and still have lag on the lock screen on 2.2

Go look up Widget Locker. It's a sexy lockscreen widget that removes lag COMPLETELY (it actually disables the android lockscreen and you use it instead. Works fansmic, allows tons of widgets on it, including shortcuts to your favorite apps fast, and security locks.
$1.99 in market - search widget locker.
The only thing with Widget Locker -- in my experience -- is that turning on the phone sometimes shows the default lockscreen for a second before fading into widget locker.
Does the home button bypass widget locker?

No lag using flyscreen either.

If you disable screen lock in Location & Security in the settings, you don't get that issue anymore.
I had the same gripe about it until I found that option to uncheck.

I didn't find the option to disable screen lock, but I turned it off using extended controls widget, which should have the same effect. Either way, thanks for the tip!
Not that this has anything to do with your op but htc does not make the droidx as per your signature. Thought you might want to know.

I don't have this option, but I downloaded "No Lock" from the marketplace and it works great with Flyscreen. (I'm using the Froyo leak posted recently)
Hey Guys,
Looking for some new lockscreens. Would really like the froyo 2.2 lockscreen from the droid x or D2. I like the looks of those slider bars.
Does anyone know if this is available or ones like it?
I dont know if its possible to replace the actual system lockscreens ... I know that WidgetLocker has those Motorola Froyo Lockscreen Setups, but well, its a external solution, the internal Lockscreen will not be replaced at all ...
one is called Lockbot

Awesome this is exactly what I was looking for. It works great, thanks for the tip, loving my new lockscreen now.
batmania15: since the latest lockscreen gestures update (in CM 0.04-10.11.29) I'm not using the unlock bars at all. You should check it out...

I tried the lockscreen gestures but didnt like them. I had one set for S and one set for B and everytime I drew the B it launched the one for S.
The default sensitivity was set too low, you could simply fix it for you by setting it to 3 or higher.
In 0.04-10.11.29, the default is now 3.

i think widget locker is a perfect choice
i m using it since i got the phone
While Widget Locker is a nice feature to have I think the Milestone just can't handle it. 256mb and if you throw a few widgets on it or a few widgets in your Launcher Pro/ADw, your home screen will redraw 24/7. I noticed like a 2x redraw rate with WidgetLocker. It's nice, but our phones can't handle it.
Need 512mb ram damnit.
sorry to hi-jack, but aren't you the Batmania15 from the MOTO Milestone support forums?
Any word on official FroYo?
i have another sort of question about lockscreen.
is there a way to have a picture on lockscreen different to the background picture?
You can set an alternative wallpaper i widget locker for the lock screen

Nadlabak,
The gesture lockscreen is great! Thanks for this.
Is it possible to use your gestures lock instead of standard Android visible pattern functionality? I mean to secure lock screen via gesture only. I ask because if you turn it on, then you can use gesture OR standard swipe unlock (so it's not securing the phone).
Thanks in advance for any sugestions!
Yes, you can turn off standard unlock slider option in the cyanogen settings.

Hello,
I used rom toolbox to lower LCD density from 240 to 190, as a result I got much more usable space on phone because all the icons are smaller and much more content can fit on screen while everything is still readable.
There can be some bugs that have to be fixed by custom launchers so heres my setup:
-Official ICS V30a rooted rom
-apex launcher
-grid size set to one higher than stock
-rom toolbox pro (free version works as well)
-(UPDATE 1) widgetlocker for lockscreen
Only bug that apears with this setup is on a lockscreen, transparen gradiant is small, visible and ugly but Im gonna fix that with custom lockscreen and update you on that.
Have you ever tried this? Whats your experience?
Heres how to do this:
ROOT REQUIERED!
Get rom toolbox, go to performance, click build.prop, click file icon upper left in top action bar and you will see LCD density. Set it to 190, reboot. Then play arround with launcher to make it look good.
UPDATE 1: I used widgetlocker to configure lockscreen and that completes the setup.

When setting lower screen density the 4 icons at the bottom of the screen is not on the correct position.
All other icons and folders are ok.
The holo launcher is ok also.
Not sure wht this thread is for.
Are you reporting a bug? If so some SS would be nice.
Are you suggesting a fix to a bug/ If so, which bug and what is the fix?
Which Launcher is it? Your title suggests stock Xperia, but then you mention holo launcher.
Other information which would be nice is
Which Phone model?
Which ROM?
Which FW version?
Which Kernel?
Without this we cant make head or sense of your post.
Its stock jelly bean rom and stock xperia launcher.
The settings page is not displaying correctly to when setting a lower screen density so never mind.
It need a lot of work i guess.
Strange is that i find a version that works at all density values but its a little bit luggy.
New version here that works awesome!!!!
The only issue now is settings page.
Can you show a screenshot of the bug as I still do not know what your issue is?
Is the stock launcher from the stock JB rom from the same phone? If not, then of course there will be bugs

I've seen what he's talking about. It's the stock JB launcher from Sony, it does not play well (like Sense and others) with custom DPI settings. They design it for a grid of certain size and call it good. Basically, when you lower the DPI, the icons are off their normal axis a bit, and it looks wonky. It's not a bug, it's built to handle one DPI... I think this can be closed unless it's a request to tweak it.
I've not used the custom Xperia Launcher... I always go to Nova.
Hi there !
Many of you probably noticed dropping frames when you're pulling down notification bar. It's somewhere below 30 fps ( ****, my spica was smoother) and is very noticeable and ****ty. And it affects only the bar, if you have wallpaper on notification wallpaper will be scrolling at 60 fps and bar will be lagging.
Stock doesn't have this problem but every AOSP-based rom does ( CM, PAC , AOKP) .
This lagging occurs only when on launcher home screen, in apps it is smooth. Could someone shed some light on us why it happens ?
Only solution I found is to use Trebuchet and enable Quick wallpaper rendering. When enabled bar is smooth again. But Apex and NOva don't have this feature....
I found people with same problem on HOX and GNote II forums, that was were I found the fix:
enable Quick wallpaper rendering.
Could some dev say something about his ?
I've also noticed that lag and I 've enalbled the "Quick render hack", but it still lags...
Well i thought Nova and Apex are "good" launchers...
Anyone can confirm that on stock lag appears when using beforementioned launchers ?
Is there a possibility to use stock LG launcher on CM ??
For me it was lagging also on stock rom with stock LG launcher,but I haven't tried LG launcher in CM...

Good good, No lag after activate Quick wallpaper rendering on One X Thank you !
