flyscreen now live

Didn't see anything about this on here, so I thought I would let everyone know that flyscreen hit the market today. If you don't know what it is, the app is a locksreen replacement which boasts a number of useful widgets. It's free, so check it out.

well done app!
tweaks i'd personally like to see
1. accuweather edit to enable "current location" along with search city or zip
2. changeable wallpaper?
3. custom color for the bottom status bar.
4. it seems pressing menu OR home unlocks the app. maybe just keep it as only MENU unlocks?
5. would LOVE a fully-functional local music widget. even a streaming one. preferably last.fm
6. it's hard to double-tap to unlock the screen when on the calendar widget.
that's all for now. again great job!

Can't find it on the market. Can anyone upload a .apk for me please?

just downloaded and installed.....love it!

are you serious? just search the market for flyscreen

Anyone have any luck getting the Facebook widget? It says to go to www.myflyscreen.com when I try to add it, but there's not really any mention of it on the website.
EDIT: Nevermind, it turns out you have to login.

this seems legit!

I've tried it but I'm not a fan of flyscreen,
the feed summary stories are so short its not worth reading them and
it is hard to unlock.
I much prefer "buzz deck", kind of similar concept with the flicking between cards but it
works much better for the feeds.
but I guess if you use just the weather and messages widget then this is pretty good

i think it would be a lot better if the added a lock, something other then just pushing the menu button

I love it, but the stericson lock screen is still popping up occasionally... How do I completely remove stericson?
(Using CM 4.0.4)

its not on the market!!! I searched like 4 times and it cant find it.... wtf?

You can dl it from here

I like it ok...
But, I was under the impression I would be able to use widgets installed on my phone.
I can't - I have to use widgets that flyscreen has... And, their calendar widget is not interactive (can't open my calendar with it or see my appt's), there is no Gmail/Email widget, and I can't use my own weather widget instead of theirs.
Since I don't really want to use any widgets they have... It sorta makes the app pointless. If I wanted to use a widget they have I would have downloaded/installed it already!

I had this during the beta invite and liked it a lot then and the final revision is not dissapointing. I agree, custom backgrounds and missed call, sms etc. notifications are needed though.

bump
any ideas on removing stericson lock?

Installed it. One of the best app on the market easily. Running weather, facebook and 2 custom RSS feeds. Its kinda laggy and slow. And it also it takes sometime to kick in when you wake the phone up. It shows the home screen for a sec before flyscreen lockscreen appears. This is the major issue. Can be fixed with further optisations. Minor annoyances are the wallpaper. Missed call register and music widget wont hurt either. But still, great app!

This app makes any rom awesomeness. If they can get all the social networks on this app, who needs blur? Has a lot of potential.

Been using the beta for quite some time, uninstalled because of slow performance...
the release version is much more stable, really happy with it all I want is to be able to install and create skins and wallpapers

Really nice concept. Good first release. However, like others have said:
1. Needs configurable wallpaper (my gf called me gay...she would know)
2. Causes great lag returning to homescreen, whereas before flyscreen, return was instant.

I'm a little thrown off by having to give my phone# on registration but I guess that just creates a unique username. Very cool idea, I wish I could customize the background and the alignment looks a little off on the bottom (not quite centered)
Very cool. I'm looking forward to more updates from this app!

Implementing new lockscreen

I know many people here have reported lag associated with the stock lockscreen that comes with the device. I was curious to know that if anyone has tried a new lockscreen and seen better results? Such as installing a vanilla AOSP lockscreen in place of the blur one and see if it makes any difference?
I dont know if the lockscreen is an actual .apk you can change out easily or not, as i have not poked around myself, but i do know that when i owned my incredible many people were switching out there sense lockscreens for vanilla ones and it didnt seem like a big deal

+1 for this question / desire. I too would like to switch out the lockscreen (and indeed some other APKs/items) for "stock" if possible...

Well, I'll tell you this. I use ADW launcher and have not noticed any lag at the lock screen. I've also seen others using custom launchers that also have said they notice no lag.

I've used adw and launcher pro and still have lag on the lock screen on 2.2

Go look up Widget Locker. It's a sexy lockscreen widget that removes lag COMPLETELY (it actually disables the android lockscreen and you use it instead. Works fansmic, allows tons of widgets on it, including shortcuts to your favorite apps fast, and security locks.
$1.99 in market - search widget locker.

The only thing with Widget Locker -- in my experience -- is that turning on the phone sometimes shows the default lockscreen for a second before fading into widget locker.

Does the home button bypass widget locker?

No lag using flyscreen either.

If you disable screen lock in Location & Security in the settings, you don't get that issue anymore.
I had the same gripe about it until I found that option to uncheck.

I didn't find the option to disable screen lock, but I turned it off using extended controls widget, which should have the same effect. Either way, thanks for the tip!

Not that this has anything to do with your op but htc does not make the droidx as per your signature. Thought you might want to know.

I don't have this option, but I downloaded "No Lock" from the marketplace and it works great with Flyscreen. (I'm using the Froyo leak posted recently)

[Q] [req] move blinkfeed to middle of homescreen

hey guys, i am sorry if this came up already but i couldn't find anything in the search: Is it somehow possible to create normal homescreens to both sides of the blinkfeed so you could have blinkfeed in the middle and then with a swipe left or right get access to a more AOSP screen? I know that it's not possible with the stock launcher but is there any chance somebody's working on modding it? thanks a lot for any help. ben

i think you can rearrange your homescreen, by long pressing on them, just like apps and widgets

you can long click and move them however this only brings up a menu to delete them as far as I know, and see. there's no way to actually move them around which limits blinkfeed to the left-most position unfortunately

You should be able to remove the piece of **** altogether! At the very least disable it ... If there's one thing that really annoys me about this phone, it's the social integration. Why can't they give people the choice? I don't use and don't want to use Sh*tter or Fagbook so why do you make me have them on my phone, not able to uninstall. The integration into Gallery is worse still, why would I want to see hundreds of random photos from Facebook friends in My Gallery?
... F**k it, I'm going for a J, time to de-stress lol

Wallpapers APK + Workout

I know a lot of us are irked by the widget addition of the watch styler to Nova because it doesn't cover the whole screen. One suggestions was to use the same color background, which would work nice. I wanted to see if anybody had an APK that had all of those exact colors?
Second, does anybody workout with their Gear? When I lift (or bike), I tend to sweat quite a bit, which worries me. I often have to wear long sleeves to put the Gear over my sleeve so it doesn't get any of the sweat. Is there reason to worry if the sweat comes in contact?

Anyone?

there were already threads about wallpaper and working out...
i use pure black wallpaper so i can't help you with it.
as for working out, i wear my gear and it works just fine.

I use Nova Launcher with a live wallpaper clock, that way the whole screen is the clock, and I have immediate access to all the other widgets and shortcuts on my second home screen.

BlinkFeed weather widget icon disappeared??

Ok I've got BlinkFeed as home screen, and all of a sudden the weather widget icon disappeared... The clock is there,but no weather.... I've tried clearing cache and data, I completely disabled closed, IT EVEN BOTHERED ME SO MUCH I RESTORED A NANDROID AND IT'S STILL DOING IT! Anybody else ever have this problem??

Forgot to add, I'm stock Rom rooted Verizon 4.4.3, s-off bootloader unlocked.. This is really driving me nuts for some reason

Nobody?? This is so frustrating... I completely nandroided back 2 stock, it was working set everything back up, was still working, n just now it went out again... No sense related Xposed mods running, NOTHING that should cause this...

to have clock and weather displayed on the blinkfeed screen you must have set blinkfeed as default page like you did. If the weather icon disappear, I think its because weather data are not available for some reason.
Is the weather icon working good if the widget is on another screen?

Yeah It always works good on the actual widgets, it's weird, it was there when I woke up this morning... It seems to only do it at night when it's the moon animation n the weather says clear... I always have BlinkFeed set as home screen, n when the icon disappeared, I can make it reappear If I switch the home screen to a regular launcher page n then set it back to BlinkFeed, but occasionally it just disappears again.. it's weird but oh well I'll just learn to deal with it. I'm just really OCD about my phone n get irritated as [email protected]*% when things screw up

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever figure anything out on this? I just had this happen and can't figure out why. The weather icon on my lockscreen disappeared (time is still there). The widget on my homescreen is fine and shows both time and weather icon. Not a huge deal, but I'm OCD too, so it's going to bug me....

As a matter of fact I did. It only happens when the weather icon is the half moon, if u look at it's animation, it SPINS AROUND, and at some point it spins to where u can't c it, but can fix or reset by going to edit home screen pages, and then set a different page (NOT BLINKFEED ARTICLE PAGES) AS home screen, n then change home screen back to BLINKFEED, and the animation will restart
