GSB Lockscreen Wallpaper

Where is it located at? And can it be changed? Running GSB 1.6

I thought the lockscreen was transparent and whatever you set as your wallpaper was your lockscreen

What I want was to have one wallpaper for the lockscreen and different after unlocking.

Maybe they'll eventually add that in to CM7's settings. Right now AFAIK the only way to do this is through third-party apps like WidgetLocker, which I use (Look & Feel/Alternative Wallpaper & Select Wallpaper). It's a pay app, but you can try it trial. I love being able to have any normal widget on my home screen.

I don't see a trial version. Do you get to use it for a while before it either stops working or you pay for it?

Well, it was many months ago when I bought it so I might have been wrong about the trial. That sucks.
Actually, wallpapers don't seem to be working, at least with Widget Locker on GSB at the moment. Sorry for the misinformation. I'm going to let the author know; I talked to him about an issue a long time ago.

[THEME] Honeycomb Theme

I looked around and basically just couldn't find a good honeycomb theme anywhere from what I saw so I decided to take matters into my own hands...I do like honeybread for CM7...but it was just not exactly what I was looking for. So I'm running on the ADW Launcher EX so anyone can have the exact same setup with no problems at all. The Apps+ icon in the top right I made with the SiMi Folder widget with a custom pic icon...the clock in the bottom right is the One More Clock widget from the market. My messenger/calendar/gmail widgets are all from the Pure Messenger and Pure Calendar widgets from the market. The bottom left icon I made with desktop visualizer and just have it linked to my current browser. The analog clock is obviously the Honeycomb clock FREE from the market. If you go into the ADW settings you just change the screen transition effect to Effect 1 to get the nice honeycomb like scrolling effect. I have gestures setup so when you swipe up on the home screen it pulls up the app drawer and if you swipe down it pulls down the notification bar...this way I can still use them w/o it ruining the honeycomb look. I also added the circle batter widget into the mix in the bottom left. My home screen is setup for constant landscape orientation and 10 wide by 7 high icon space...this was made this way just to make the icons and stuff where I wanted them too. You can't really use all of this space because the widgets overlap and it just makes it a pain so I don't recommend it. The other thing you have to do is download the free honeycomb theme on the market for adw...this is just to get the google widget that I am using. Also you'll want to download the honeycomb wallpapers app from the market...this is where I got my wallpaper from cuz it just looks the best in landscape...the one that comes with the theme just isn't that good if you ask me...both apps are made by the same developer. Anyways...here are some pics...I'm running this on my OG Droid with the MIUI ROM on it...hope you all enjoy. Just click on the pictures to look at them bigger and get a better idea of how it looks...I added them to this originally with them already full but the preview was cutting off the right side of the pictures and I just didn't want to chance it...please tell me what you think.

hahaha...sorry man...i figured everyone would just look at the pics and if they liked then in order to get it all the same they will have to read it all anyways...wasn't really worried about what format all the information was in...the only thing that doesn't have anything to do with the setup is the first sentence of why i made this

so how did you get the honeycomb status bar?

i like it
but i hate how its landscape
\
ill make it more "portate friendly" if you can share the icons/theme elements

yeah the landscape makes it a little bit of a pain to use at times so i can understand not liking it that way...luckily you can make it portrait...just might take some tweaking...i've added a list of the apps/widgets that i used so that you can easily find them on the market...i would add links to app brain or something but i can't add links on here cuz i dont' have enough posts yet.
I'll also add the 2 custom icons i made for this...they aren't the greatest and i'm sure you could find better but it's what i'm using...there are only 2 custom icons...the apps+ in the top right and the icon in the lower left. I'll add them right away.

there really is no status bar...the bottom right is the One More Clock widget and the bottom left is just a desktop visualizer widget and the circle battery widget...the original status bar i have still in tact...just have to swipe down and it pulls it up.
Also for everyone else i've added 2 more pictures that are the custom icons that you need to make it just like this or even to make it in portrait view...just click to blow it up and then right click/save as in order to keep the icon see through and not white in areas

If you're using the xda app, I usually have to use jpg files. Make sure shootme is set to take jpg pictures instead of PNG. Just open up the app and press menu -> preferrences.

squid try what blu3poptart said with the jpeg thing and see if that works...only thing is the 2 icon files i attached to this are both png files...so idk...i don't use the xda app to post anything...so maybe that is your problem like he says

Love GoLauncher, but need things changed

I run MIUI and am sick of the launcher (app drawer, etc.) I like GoLauncher with its widgets and such. There are a few things I want changed though, and I would like to know if it has been done.
First, I like how the icons in MIUI are really large, in GO, they are very small. Can they be changed in GO?
Secondly, I like how the text under the icons in MIUI do not have the black background. Is this possible in GO?

I didn't know they had one. I will take a look.

Launcher Pro is the only launcher I think that can remove the icon label backgrounds.
One of the reasons I love it. I do wish it had bigger icons and maybe a 4 icon dock.

I like GoLauncher better because of home swipe actions,the ease of changing icons on both homescreen n dock and overall smoothness...

This is why I use ADW EX.. you can customize everything to do with the icons.. Size, background of icon, text color, size, fully customize the dock, instantaneous drawer (I find go launcher drawer to always have SOME lag), tons of themes, same swipe gesture options and screen animations.. The only thing you lose is the widgets and there are other market Apps that take care of that.

Same here.. LPP and GO are great, but ADW customization go further (no dock is a sweet feature too)... but ADW is not as smooth as the two others, I mean that when you want to edit stuff (widget size, placing shortcut elsewhere, etc) it feels weird, not as responsive, I don't like it but it's the only negative point so I live fine with it.. pros and cons..

In go launcher i use desktop visualizer to get some real big icons, miui style. It gives me even the option to open shortucs to folder organizer.

I just downloaded Desktop Visualizer and I did not find the option in there for icon size. How are you doing it?

Long press the icon from dvisualizer that you just added to your home screen and choose resize.
Dvisualizer is a widget, you can resize it just like any other widget.

[Q] Folder with Apex Launcher?

i don't think you can add a folder on the drawer. But on the home screen i think you can with APEX Launcher the donate(pro)version Im not sure bec. I've replaced Apex with Nova launcher, only used Apex for about a day. Nova Launcher Prime(paid version) does them both. On the meantime you can try dragging another icon with the existing one on desktop to make a folder on homescreen with apex

Apex Launcher
Very easy,
you drop one app over another one. This you can do several times.
For example: On the screen you have the icon of app A. drop B, C, D etc.
over it. You will see one rounded Icon. By pressing on it you will see all the dropped icons with their names. The first app (in this case A) is shown as icon for the folder. You can move the icons by keeping them pressed a little bit longer in the order you want.
Coming back to main screen press the icon a little bit longer and give a name to the folder.
With Apex options/folder you can change also the style of the folder.
It´s up to you which one you like most.
Try and enjoy!

I did it, but as soon as I press the one app I want to move, it directly go to the main screen (desk top screen), I want to make the folder in the apps drawer screens, like how I used to do with GO Launcher

You can't make a folder in the app drawer, like on go launcher.

Not folders but you can have multiple tabs in the pro version. Think of tabs like folders only displaying one at a time up top. I have all my apps categorized into 6 tabs. Takes a few minutes to get used to (coming from GoLauncher) but it's actually quite nice having the entire screen for a "folder" (tab) of apps... especially if you find yourself using one tab more often than the others: it remembers the last tab you were in.

Thanks! I didn't notice you could make a new tab group by holding a tab and creating it! Very good! Now I dont have to be adding games to a unsorted folder and all that stuff! Besides, is better to have it a screen than in a folder

Whenever I try to move one icon onto another, it just moves it so that they swap places. Doesn't matter how many times I try or how slowly I try I can no longer make it so that it makes folder!

when your moving the icon over another to put them into a folder, try not to hover drop it straight away, when you hold it over the top for even a short ammount of time it thinks your organising the layout,

I'm having the same problem. the other app just slides out of the way right away and doesn't create the circle.

Yes, it does remove blinkfeed. Tested with apex launcher.

It will still be a background process, will it not? Even though its not visible. Like sense Rosie/prism itself

Alternatively, If I have to make do (which I expect I will have to lol) How can I change the Icons on the home screen Dock?
Or am I just being as thick as a plank??....

To rearrange the dock icons, open the app drawer and then drag the unwanted ones back into drawer. You might need to drag them to where they're supposed to go (i.e. I have my drawer sorted automatically and had to drag the camera to where it'd be in the drawer).
You can only have the 4 apps on there but if you remove any, you're free to put whatever you want in its place.

It would be active, continuously streaming content to its interface on the sense launcher
Best option would be to change launchers and then freeze Sense

Just un-check all the options/feeds leaving blinkfeed blank. This way it fetches nothing. Then run you new launcher.

Thanks for the tip but Ive figured that out. The issue Im having is, If I use a Icon changer, it drops a widget on the home screen that is essentially a shortcut to the app you pick.
Because its a widget, it wont let me move it to the dock at the bottom...
I know I could probably go hinting to try and change the pings manually, I just really cant be bothered as I know It wont be long before I flash another rom.
Any Ideas?

Freeze it in titanium if you don't want it.
