Lockscreen? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
Is there are a ROM for the captivate that has the cyanogenmod lockscreen? specifically im looking at the lockscreen music controls. please advise
regards

I am not sure what the lockscreen you want looks like but serendipity has the 4 lock screens and the music player he uses gives you lock screen control on all the lock screens except the android one...

it is like the stock one, ie, the one in cm7 and the great thing about it was that you can use the lockscreen music controls to control any default player, ie, poweramp etc unlike the samsung one which only works with the samsung music player.
thanks for suggesting Serendipity. will report back on what i think

That's not entirely true. My ROM has the Cyanogen Mod music player and lock screen controls.

Rotary lockscreen for Froyo ROM?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for this please? Searched for it and only found for 2.1 which is boot loop central. Thanks in advance.
Oooh, also interested. I tried two 2.1 lockscreens but yeah, both boot loop central.
Not yet. Just a matter of time but right now people are focusing on just getting Froyo stable rather than theming it.

Does it give a rotary lock screen? To me it just looks like it enables widgets on the lock screen.
LockBot works well on my Nonsensikal Froyo Eris. Lets you choose between iPhone, HTC Hero, Eclair (Rotary), Froyo, Xperia, and Galaxy S style lockscreens (last three are for the Pro only version). Not only that, but it lets you customize each of those pretty extensively.

press menu on homescreen and there will be an option for pics, or you can goto gallery and change the wallpaper after selecting an image.

that changes all the wallpapers at once. I was wondering if you can change the wallpaper on only the lockscreen and the default one will be on home

Unfortunatly you are running a CM based rom so there is no way to change your lockscreen wallpaper. Because there really isnt one. It dims your homescreen when locked and thats it. If you want a lockscreen wallpaper you will need to switch to a rom that allows it.
okay guys. thanks for your help

[APP REQ] Music Control Widget

So I'm looking for a simplistic music control app for my lock screen or an app which lets you customize the look of the (play, next, previous) buttons. Any suggestions and help will be gladly appreciated.
I'm in the middle of porting the lockscreen mod which enables the player on the lockscreen. Its in alpha stage now, but the three lock screens that work two have music controls. I can let you flash where its at so far.

Pure music Widget from the Market will give you a nice, simplistic set of music control widgets which can then be skinned. It's capable of being used with various Android music apps, so check the details of it in the Market to see if it'll work with your music app of choice.
It does not have the ability to natively put music controls on the lockscreen. Usually for that, you have to either use a music app that can do it (like PowerAMP or PlayerPro) or you can use another app called WidgetLocker that will enable you to put whatever widgets you want onto the replacement lockscreen that WidgetLocker creates on your phone.

I only need the lock screen mod not the whole cm7 mod. I'm happy with simple minimal gingerbread ui but I think that they really drop the ball without this non-music lock screen control feature. Having to unlock phone just to more forward a track or tap music widget just to move back a track is a real pain.

What do you guys miss from the LG stock Rom

for guys who have switched to CM7/miui or any other non-stock custom ROMS ,wht do u guys miss from the stock ROM??
generally LG widgets and App drawer..)
LG video player,
because other hw accelerated video players can play HD good on external screen, or projector, but subtitles are still shown on phones screen. Maybe this issue was solved since i realized it.
LG widgets
the last good thing on stock firmware. i like LG stock callendar.
LG calender widget!
Er nothing really lol.
the lockscreen
Tap to move cursor

The majority of things working (like the camera). I say majority because GPS is a bit buggered at the moment, and loses signal WAYYY to easily :-(
What I won't miss if I go to the dark side.. having plenty of spare RAM, but things like Dungeon defenders running like a dog randomly.
What I will enjoy.. ability to overclock when I need to
I stayed on a custom stock rom to keep the lghome, its the only app drawer that allows you to organize your games and apps into category's i cant imagine how anyone manages without that ability everytime i try and use a different home screen i end up uninstalling it because they are **** in comparison the only thing bad about it is its somewhat choppy and the screen on takes a while.

In order of importance:
Gestures
Dialer
Alarm Clock
Phone Book
I love the feel and speed of CM roms, but my phone is my main alarm clock and i couldn't live without "flip to snooze" andothe perks that come with gestures.
Also the smart dialer and the Facebook contacts integration in the stock Phonebook is very convenient for me. I could'nt yet replicate it in any other 3rd party software.
Stock Video Player, Stock Camera (this one has been ported), and LG's calendar widget

Most of those features are available in MIUI, I suggest you to try it if you haven't. As far as basic phone's features are concerned, MIUI has them covered very well.
Sadly it's not as smooth as CM is.

[Q] Questions on MIDNOTE 2.0 ICS

I have installed MIDNOTE 2.0 ICS ROM. It is fully rooted with r/w permissions.
It is working very well as my daily rom and super smooth with Nova Launcher.
I'm wondering if anyone can help with a few questions?
1. I have removed Swype with Root Explorer and flashed latest Swype with Dragon Voice support (working very well). I have also installed ics keyboard. My question is can I remove the "SamsungChineseIME.apk" or does it do do more than keyboard?
2. As it doesn't come with Video Player I installed previous version from Titainum Backup but forces close so I removed. What is the best Video app that will play all the formats the GB Samsung Video apk did?
3. Not a fan of the installed lockscreen clock. How can I change to a different clock on lock screen? I realise I could probably do it with WidgetLocker but heard its fc on most ics roms.
Thanks for your help
Yes you can remove it.
BS Player.
Widget locker works fine on every ICS rom I have used.

Thanks that should clean things up a bit.
I'll give BS Player and Widget Locker a go too.
Though is there a way to change the clock through settings on ics? You can remove it but can you change the style?
1) Yes you can
2) I use MX player it's quite good, and you can get ride of the black banding
3) I think widget locker will work..
