Lockscreen for N7 that works like the Ubuntu Phone? - Nexus 7 General

Does something like this exist? I think it looks really cool and would be neat to try out.

"it's not a lock screen, it's a welcome screen"
And not with the edge swiping gestures, but you could try widget locker. It's the only thing I can think of from back when I still used lock screens.

Even with widget locker I'd still need the widget with that functionality, that's what I'm looking for, but thank you for your reply.

What functionality are you looking for? Common inbox? Fast shortcuts to most used apps? It's hard to tell what you're looking for exactly. Alternatively, I'm sure once the GNex images are out there someone will port in some form whatever is worth porting.

This looks like something that might interest you.

[Q] Poor screen switch animations Stock Blur

Any one else notice the lack in quality of the animations when swiping from screen to screen?
Mainly that some icons go faster around then others. Wonder why they did such a crap job on that part of MotoBlur.
I personally wish there was a way to turn the launcher animations off.

What you're describing was done intentionally to give "depth" to the home screen...aka provide a 3D effect. If you drag the screen really slowly you get a better feel for the effect. I don't think you can disable this with the stock launcher.

I didn't think there was either without editing the framework.

Yeah. When in the app dock it is nice, the icons stay in there location in space relative to the swiping to the next. Just on the home screen if i swipe slowly several icons will go faster then others and get on top of them while some stay in there relative location. Just found it odd.

Hi. Nice app.. i have one requeat that could make this app eaven more usable.
Either make widget for one touch system bar removel or make a shortcut for desktop to make a one touch system bar removal.
What do you think about that??
Great app as I said before.

The best solution would be, that the statusbar disappears, when you swipe down on the screen , and appears if you swipe up.

Does anyone know if it would work on Bindroid.
One other thing, i dont think its a good idea that you can swipe it up and down, because i like to remove my bar when the kid is playing with it.

Yup same here, power button was best option for me since my son only touches the screen. Can't seem to get that mod to work more than once per boot. HideBar just freezes.
This one looks very promising, will check it out tonight

Also, is there a way to make the white backpanels' borders of the clock sharper, so it will look more "native HD" if you know what I mean?

Happened to me too. Go to your launcher settings, enable resize all Widgets, then long press the widget to stretch out the hidden edges.

Thanks for porting this over to us non-sense users. It's looking stellar on my Xoom and figured I would try the white.apk on my gnex. The flip clock section is working just fine. It's the date/weather bar area i'm having issues with. The high/low temps overlap and the weather icon/background bar are smaller than they should be. What xml's and values would need editing to fix this?

Unfortunately, stock can only resize certain stock Widgets. If you still want to see how it looks just grab Apex Launcher off the market as the re-size option is on by default. Then just add the widget to the home screen, long press the widget until some options pop up, select re-size and resize until all the sides are visible.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
This was mainly for the Xoom as pics allows us to resize Widgets to you galaxy users I think u will have to try to make a slightly smaller version. Give ma a couple of hours I should have something to try out.. for all Xoom users resizable Widgets must be activated on your device

Decompile the API file and edit the widget main file...
You will need to edit low temp an high temp... change the dip from right.. an increase top value in only one of the hope this helps, unfortunately; im no good at trying to explain I will try to fix this for you also

My god, finally a proper port of this clock. Thank you so much. Version for Nexus S works very well on my SE Arc S.

Thanks for all the help with the widget_main.xml file to get it to scale to my GNex correctly. My Xoom and Gnex are looking great together.
Would it be cool if I posted the resized widget over on the Galaxy Nexus board with giving credit to LP for the base and this thread for your xoom port?

Well if you want your lockscreen in landscape, I believe you have to change the LCD density in the build.prop to give it "tablet ui" which will also make the launcher landscape. hope this answers your question!
I threw Nova on immediately for the rotating homescreen. Works wonderful! And super fast of course!

What are your Impressions of 4.2

So I flashed the 4.2 factory image, haven't rooted yet.
I like,
The smaller icons in the dock bar
Slicker graphics / icons
The clock is cool
The notification system, left-side = notifications: right-side = quick settings.
Gmail is much improved.
Multiple user accounts is a good idea.
I dislike,
Chrome is slightly newer than the current version in the Play Store, 18.0.1025465 vs 18.0.1025464, but they made it perform worse Sunspider before 1500ms ~ now 1641 ms. It is also no smoother than before, and still is laggy on sites like The Verge.
I only got to play with mine for a few minutes during lunch but I love it minus the bounce back on the notification/quick settings pull downs. It's just odd and kind of irritating. I kept thinking it was going to close itself.
I really like the new lockscreen. The hour being bold with the minutes regular text is really nice IMO. The placement of the owner info and charging % is also nice. I think widgets are kind of meh but not complaining about anything new lol.
My battery is very bad since the update. Anyone else thinks like me?

Calendar, clock, gmail, and sound search.
I like how gmail is zoomed out all the way and then you can zoom in. Why not add this feature to the stock email app as well?

Pretty sure you're missing the Sound Search widget, it was previously only available for users in America, more people may be able to access it now but some won't be able to based on where they live.
I'm not liking the new clock, the huge bold hour makes it look lopsided, guess I have some kind of symmetrical ocd!
