stop the darn animation when i unlock S3!! - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi,
Believe me i went through several forums on this matter. They all say to put the clock widget on the screen and it will ask you...
well it did not!... I deleted Beautiful Widgets from the homescreen and the damn weather animation is still there..
Under Display->there is no "animations" to turn off...
Please let me know how to kill this!!

Do it the right place and that is in BW settings where you enabled it.

hey thanks.. that was it! i feel stupid so i think that is punishment enough

wallpaper on other screens than the home one?

Hi,
Any chance of anyone knowing how to view/change your wallpaper on all of the screens instead of the ugly squared, grey 3d environment?
Thanks
In touchflo3d scroll over to settings and click on wallpaper then choose which one you want and it will apply it to the home screen only.
i know, i want the wallpaper on all the other screens as well.
LOL i just realised what you were asking as i just asked the same question in the my wallpapers thread...i dont know if you can...still waiting to see if anyone knows.
My apologies...should really read the question before answering so quickly.

Haha
I dont understand why HTC didnt set the wallpaper to all the tabs anyhow
^^for cool animation effects and such
Any news on this thread? Coz I'd like to know too how to change the other wallpapers.
Indeed - it's utterly stupid to only have a wallpaper on the Home screen, so maybe it's a bug? As it is it's forced to keep two images in memory and switch between the two...
I also wonder if it is possible to have the wallpaper on all tabs, although the 3d tiles that are present in the other tabs seems to be animated when swiching tab.
Any pro's that know the facts? =)
I don't think they're animated - this would require a real 3D element being animated in the background, needlessly eating up resources. Probably a tiled image scrolling.
Seems wallz on all tabs is all that is left to be desired with the diamond now that we got quadband and fast TF3D. Not to shabby!!!!1!!!1

pattern lock screen background!

Hey I've searched all over for which xml to edit to change the opacity/background of the pattern lock scrren. I really would like to change the opacity so you can see the wallpaper behind the dots!
I've search and search.
And quite frankly the search on this forum sucks. So I figured I would post here b4 I go to the themes subforum and get blasted by a moderator about how I didn't search!
Thanks in advance y'all

Sorry, I'm not much help when it comes to the coding and whatnot, but maybe a dev or someone with that knowledge will pop in and help you.
Figured i would post here first! Then when i post in theme section i have the satisfaction of know my thread woont get closed cause i didnt search or post in wrong secction... hehe . Thanks anyways ill figure it out!
You know you gotta follow protocol around here now.
Indeed yeah as this place as become huge now. I was thinking the same as I'd like to change it much like how on the Hero build you can too. As far as I'm aware there isn't a definite answer if you can or not.
Sorry to up an old topic...
Hi,
While keeping searching, I finaly stumbled upon this thread...but there's no answer in it. As it's from 2009, has anyone found an answer to EMERYfan1988's question by now ? Cheers.
I got rid of the "dark filter" over the pattern lock background, and make the pattern lock dots smaller and more transparent. See my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17806354#post17806354

[REQUEST] Remove the clock!

I really want to get rid of the clock on my status bar. Can anyone help me?
you cant remove it but i think you can make it invisible. however the space that the time takes up will still be there. any reason why you want it removed?

If you have a widget clock like the one on sense then it's redundant to have 2 places where time is shown.

exactly.
10chars
Not always, with me having the Cliq and can't change the clock color(yet) We have black themes so we can't see the clock. It didn't bother me since I had Beautiful Widgets at first. But then I realize how annoying it was always switching to the home screen to look at the time if I was in the middle of some task.
of course you can get rid of the clock, you just need to add this line into the statusbar xml file
android:visibility="gone"
that will remove the clock and will remove the space used for it as well, i would recomend you try apk tool on your framework-res.apk
Heres my experience in the past lol, I got rid of my clock, thinking a widget clock and that status bar clock is useless. About a day after, I couldn't help it. Got it back because that widget clock isn't as useful! It looked great at first, but I couldn't just rely on the widget!
Correcct me if im wrong but the lockscreen shows the time correct?

Do you honestly want to lock and unlock your phone/ go to your home screen to see the time? Seems kind of annoying to me...

For me it's good cause you can hold the green thing to bring up the (ancient secret)and say alarm or whatever it is to bring up the alarm app.

Um.... that's not exactly the most practical way, bringing up Voice Dialer (Gasp, someone else knows) will close what ever your in (or suspend it technically)

Lockscreen animation

Does anyone know which APK deals with the lockscreen?
Everytime I go through my own debloating ritual on my phone, it always goes away. I know its a minor thing, but its nice to see.
Varelse, did you ever figure this out? My slide to unlock lockscreen disappeared yesterday and I don't know how to get it back.

Newbie Android, want to fully customize my HD2

Hello to all.
I'm recently port a NAND Android rom (NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.9a) and I'm trying to customize it (visual and performance's too).
I installed the NOVA launcher, which I think it's the best - I tried 3-4 popular others, but Nova I think is the better...
So, now, I want to replace/change:
All system's icons. I need some large icon packs to choose from.
Customize and change the look and use of the LockScreen. How can I customize it (visually) and how can I add weather, sms, email & generally other notifications?
I want to change the wallpaper of my home screen. I think I need wide wallpapers (to moving when I'm scrolling from one home screen to the next). Where can I find some? And where are the default wallpapers located???
I also want to change ringtones, notification sound, sms, etc. Where are they located?
And finally, I may want to change the splash animated boot screen - it's fantastic in NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.9a rom, but I think I need something more "light", not so "heavy".
Generally, I found quite difficult to locate and change/customize my Android rom. Why's that? It's almost difficult like... iOS (loool).
Thxs for any help, fellas.
Come on, this is literally you asking us how to use your phone. I understand issues with flashing but this is a bit extreme don't you think? Most of your questions could have been answered by actually using the phone
Anyway:
System icons - download an icon pack from the Play Store or from XDA then apply it in Nova
Look/use of the lock screen - you'll have to either flash a 4.2.2 ROM or buy WidgetLocker from the Play Store. I think NexusHD2 has an option to have weather and time on the lock screen though
Wallpaper - Seriously? Just long press on the homescreen and select a new wallpaper or press menu on the homescreen and select a new wallpaper or even go to settings>display>wallpaper and select a new wallpaper. As for where to find them, just download a wallpaper app from Google Play or download images from various places on the internet
Ringtone - again, seriously? Go to settings>sound and you'll find the options there
Bootanimation - search on XDA and you'll find your answers
Thxs.
I know what are you saying, but it's not my phone (I have iOS and I'm keep learning it and reading about); it's my wife's, so I want just to customize it and leave it to her, I don't want (and don't have time) to learn the Android as well...
Thxs for the answers, mate.

Obviously you took me for an idiot.
I'm not talking "how to change wallpaper/ringtones", but WHERE THE HELL are they located, to copy-paste there my own! And I don't want to "download" anything, I'm making my OWN sound and visuals, so I need to know WHERE to place them.

I didn't take you for an idiot at all, it's exactly what the post you wrote suggested. It was probably the translation that was bad, but I assure you I wasn't assuming you were stupid. You can place a wallpaper anywhere on your SD card, as long as you know where it is you can just browse to it in a file manager then set it as your wallpaper. You should also be able to set it as a wallpaper from the gallery. As for ringtones I'm not sure but you should just be able to paste it in /system/media/audio/ringtones I think.

Nigel, I can't believe you actually bothered answering him and on top of that got that treatment from him! And no "thank you" at all.
Man, he's unbelievable, that one.
