Hey everyone, all the sudden I get a yellow twirl burst on my phone every time i slide to unlock on my captivate. I think it is slowing my home screen down because I try to slide to a different screen and i have to wait until its done? Thanks Let me know!
updated: Its a yellow sun thing that moves for like a second and then a white thing that flashes real quick along the bottom. It is hard to explain but was wondering if anyone knew how to turn it off

Sounds like some 3rd party app - I don't know of anything on the stock OS that does this.
What have you installed on your phone?
The third party apps that it could be is beautiful widget, or weather toggle widget. Not sure about anything else, but I don't know if there was any other recent update on an application??
It's probably Beautiful Widgets, as it has an option to animate upon unlock. Try turning that off.

Just received the ATT Tilt, but I am having some issues with the top of the screen showing a thin rainbow bar. Looking at it closely, it appears that the today theme does not fully cover the top area of the screen and this is where the rainbow bar sips through; this happens in all the other windows as well (apps, settings) and even when I rotate the screen, the rainbow bar moves position to coincide with the screen orientation. I tried switching to different Today themes to see if this rainbow dissapears, but no luck. It's strange that this effect does not happen on the splash screen (everything is one color), but immediately appears once the windows mobile 6 menu loads. Below is an image of a today screen with the similar problem.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to remove this darn bar....it's driving me crazy!I am hoping that this is not a screen defect and can be adjusted by some settings change.
Thanks!
haha thats a battery meter. Probably from one of the applications you installed.
rofl......i think thats the vistahide battery gauge. if it is, then all you have to do is delete the vistahide link from the windows\startup folder and then softreset
I removed the vistahide battery gauge from the start up applications and now I have a beautiful black screen! YAY!
Thanks guys for the heads-up on this...I really appreciate it.
rofl =)))
Funny, but yeah, your question is perfectly fine.. just funny how something can be loved by some and hated by others.
Hi, i removed it from start up but it still doesn't work. can someone help me out?
thanks
Have you restarted after removing the shortcut?
Batti can also do the same kind of color bar, maybe that's the one you have.
I soft reset it
should i reset with the pin?
where would i find batti?
thanks
This runs in a strange manner.
For instance, why can I not keep Gsen toggle on so that I can rotate to horizontal when writing sms/e-mail, even after switching off/reseting the device?
Also, has anyone noticed that when Gsen is toggled on, there is a white pixel at the top of the screen near the battery, signal icon etc? This is not neccesarily a fault, as I wouldn't know it was activated without it to be honest...
I'm using the Gsen toggle that came with Swift v6.0 ROM.

In Gsen configure, press file/startup and there you can activate it to be on all the time.
As for pixel, that's designed into the app.
Thanks very much! Such a useful app. I remember when I first started researching whether to buy the Diamond or not, one of the criticisms was that it did not auto-rotate when texting etc; so glad this has been fixed by clever developers!
Update - I find gsen to be very temperamental. Sometimes when I got to rotate the screen, it doesn't let me bring the keyboard up, and another time half the screen when black every time I tried. So I have disabled it for the time being.
Anyone else experienced this?
*bump* Anyone?

I had the same problem but i was trying to use the compact keyboard when portrait and qwerty when lansscape. When i just selected qwerty the problem went. also the newest version removes some of the bugs.
The thing that bugs me is that it rotates the screen when locked!
just installed soulife.rogers.v2.9.2.extended and I get the homescreen on the RIGHT instead of in the middle as usual... anyway to fix it back? Tried dxtop just now and it gave me the same sort of behaviour!

You talking about the clock and stuff? Just place everything where you want it.
i mean when you hit 'home' it goes to the screen on the RIGHT ... you have to scroll left twice to get to the third screen...

mine does that too now and I'm on cm 3.9.11.2. It goes to whatever screen my seach widget is on.
That happened to me once but then I realized I had five homescreens...
I've heard of people having issues after flashing from one rom to a different if they did not clear the widgets off their home before flashing.

It's not unusual (sorry but your name, c'mon how could i not?)
When i used to use OpenHome there was always an option in the settigns to configure which screen acted as the home screen.

Green Green Grass of Homescreen?

Just move the search widget to set the main screen...
Cheers!
I'm not really interested in theming my captivate very much (yet...) but I'd absolutely love to change the dumb ass lock screen... I hate the thing.
How might one go about changing this and is there a recommended replacement?
Currently running Cognition 2.1.4, lagfix disabled.
The app that most use is WidgetLocker, as it seems to be the most stable of the lock screen replacement apps. I purchased it, but don't use it because it's not quick enough for my taste.
With the stock lock screen, it's the first thing that pops up when you turn the phone on. With WidgetLocker, I would often get a brief delay where I would see the home screen before WidgetLocker kicked in. I hate that delay, so I've gone back to the stock pattern input lock screen.

Use the app called "no lock" to fix that problem

Tried that, didn't do the trick. Instead of getting a brief glimpse of the stock lock screen, I instead get a brief glimpse of the home screen.
Did you use either the home replacement or the root override? With those, I rarely get the stock screen, maybe 1 in 20 times.
I sort of like the lock screen. IMO, its much better than the Samsung Fascinate's lock screen. It's standard lock screen is the jigsaw puzzle.
I like how the Captivate's lock screen can be slid any direction to unlock, seems to make it really easy for me to just grab the phone and then flick the screen in any direction with my thumb.
anybody had any luck in getting that puzzle lock screen from the vibrant or fascinate? i know we have one when a call has been missed but i want that to be the main lockscreen.
Every time I add an additional home screen it goes to the far right,
I can't seem to move it to another position say far left.
I have tried going into the widget bit long holding the screen I want to move and dragging it, but it doesn't work, only way to do it would be to move all the widgets across one by one.
Any help would be great,
Aaron

the only way is make a new screen the home screen so if you want one screen on the left and 2 on the right make the 2nd screen the home screen or the last screen the home screen
i hope that makes sense
