Widget locker

Is there a way to remove the stock unlock screen so I don't have two while using widget locker? I would want to maintain my numeric lock.....I tried searching for a setting and don't see a way

after installing widget locker, you should not have your stock lock screen anymore. this is supposed to replace that....at least thats how it works on my phone.

Weird, cause I have both

How does widget locker work?

I'm pretty sure it works by essentially creating another "launcher" or "homescreen" on top of your actual launcher (Sense, LauncherPro, ADW.Launcher, etc) that just shows up everytime you unlock the device. Think about QuickDesk, same principle.

U can always delete the htclockscreen.apk via adk

I read that if you remove that one that it gets replaced by a vanilla one??

Yes but it's not as simple as that. What happens when you do that is you end up with a messed up Vanilla lock screen... you can see what I mean here
http://geekfor.me/hero/fixes/vanilla-lockscreen/
You need to go a few steps further (as detailed in the website) to fix it

So I can either have two lock screens or just not use widget locker, from what I can tell by trying it out.....having two is defeating the purpose though...

Widget locker should disable the lock screen if it's set up
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Yeah, I get that...just wish it worked lol....legit, when I wake my phone, I slide the lock on widget locker, no password needed, then my regular lock screen comes up, I slide and then put in my 4 digit password....

Ah. Yes, I think if you have a security screen it does that. But not much you can do about it I think.

If you are running CM7 you can go into the settings for CM7 and disable the lockscreen but when I do that its weird. When I slide the slider it goes to my pattern security but right before that i see my homescreen flash. Its like a glitch. This happens all the time smh. I expected Widget Locker to be more efficient.

Percentage battery indicator?

Hey, is there an application that replaces the battery icon on the upper menu? I saw this circular battery icon on some homescreens, but I have no clue how to get it. Do I have to root the phone and flash it? I am currently running on Rogers stock rom. Please help and thank you!

Yes you have to root and flash the phone. Not sure which rom tho. Try galaxy s tweaker app free from market place. You can easily root your phone and put lag fix too.

Fancy widgets (free) just released a update that puts a batt. % number below the digital clock. Not as nice as having one in the top bar but you don't have to do anything to your phone to get it.

It's in the framework-res.apk of a ROM.

Arranging icons in the homescreen

A quick and maybe dumb question: Is there a way to arrange icons in the homescreen just by sliding one on top of the other, like the iPhone?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Thats exactly what you do.
Press and hold the icon the drag it round to where you want it then let go.
Drag it down to the bin icon to remove it.
To place an icon on the home screen, go to the apps screen and press and hold the icon you want on the home screen. Only let go when you see the home screen appear.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Sorry if I haven't made myself clear, what I mean is if it's possible to drag an icon on top of another so they switch places.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

as far as I know it is only possible in the TouchWiz App Launcher (when you are in the edit mode),
but you can't change places on the homescreen like on the iPhone. (not with standart launcher)

This was something I was surprised by as well... it's like having one of those puzzle sliders at times to get everything where I want it!

Indeed
Even more annoying to me is the fact, that folders don't close when the home button is pressed / an app is launched. I think that's quite irritating...Oo

[Q] Which Apps Would You Like to See Developed?

I'm taking ideas for new apps! I'm starting to develop for Android and am looking for ideas on apps to develop. What apps would you like to see developed?

A clone of the TW stock clock for CM7. I loved having an alarm clock with gentle alarms, stopwatch, and timer all in one app. I haven't found a suitable app that combines all three as elegantly as the stock clock did.

I haven't seen this option yet in file managers (if there already is please let me know), but I would like to see a batch file delete with a confirm delete option. That would be nice.

an app that tells you if your battery is calibrated correctly. Nothing like that out there. I know there is a battery calibrator app but not one that tells you if it is calibrated or uncalibrated I think that would be awesome! So you know after you flashed a rom or kernel or something else just pushed it out of wack.

Wifi calling like the T-mobile app.

I have to 3rd the request for a very basic clock app like the stock Fassy clock. All it would need is an Alarm, Timer, and Stopwatch.
An added bonus would be to somehow make it use the ASOP upper right clock notification instead of a proprietary icon that would have to be placed in the upper left.

I know there are multiple restore apps out there but I think there's room for improvement. I would like a backup and restore app that puts your phone back basically just like it was before you wiped. Especially home screen setups, also games and what not that you have spent hours, days, or weeks getting to where it is only to have it all go down the tube is pretty frustrating. I can't speak for others but I would easily pay 25 bucks for something like this.

I just want a app to modify a status bar, this would be rather difficult to make I think, start with AOSP ROMS. Or, go the high road, start with mods like CM7.

Thanks! I'll check it out once its released

Yeah all of these requests with a non black theme perhaps, we have a few black them'ed roms already. Universal inbox is the biggest request I have and the stock lock screen with stock media player, these are all I need.

if u can, make the ics lockscreen the main lockscreen (get rid of sliding door completely)

I personally think the 5.7 cam is way better, as soon as I loaded mav rom my camera is at least three times faster,

its an app that groups widgets...so instead of an app that lists, say 4 diff size widgets, itll be listed once, then by selecting it youll get all the choices

i thought so, but since some had mentioned it i wasnt sure
to everyone still using the atrix cam, try the new 5.7 cam. its very fast, WAY better than what we originally started with

Alright, so I am including the gnex boot ani, and notification widgets, and i will see if I could include the reboot options. I currently have the ics status bar working, it was very hard figuring out how to match the strings.xml with motorolas xml's, I will begin working hard on the rom tomorrow, today I am very busy
