Love the new Vibrant. Just got it yesterday, but not too fond of the unlock screen as far as the "sweep away" goes. Don't want the pattern unlock either. Suggestions?? Thanks in advance......
There are some good lockscreen replacements apps out there -- WidgetLocker, GOTO, etc. -- but they all seem to have their issues. In my experience, they can (at times) be laggy, show the desktop BEFORE showing the lock screen, and are at times flat out sappy looking. The GOTO lockscreen is *very* nice looking, I must say, but has some bugs to work out. My $.02 on that.
I've actually grown rather fond of the Samsung lockscreen. It let's you swipe any direction that feels natural to you, and is quite responsive. Maybe just keep trying it for awhile and see if it grows on you?
I suppose i'll give it a shot. Would be nice to use a pic of my kids and still have the same ability to swipe it away in any direction. Just not a big fan of the semi opaque screen. Might be a nice double for a picture frame or something. I'll keep trying. Thanks.
There's an app called No Lock that will take the lockscreen away. Works great.
myLock. Google it.

Same. works great. Comes with a widget for quick toggle.
Thanks. Loving No Lock already.
Love it!!! ))
aunlocker is nice but you have to pay for it
Simply Lockscreen Is the lockscreen replacement that I have been using for a few hours seems to work very well when you disable the "statusbar visibale:" and " Show original statusbar:" options.

Is there an app or something where I can change the order of my applications on my Desire? At the moment they are sorted alphabetically but I wish to sort them in the order I want.
Is this possible?
Also, is it possible I can change the applications screen so there are pages where I can slide left to right instead of just one page where I slide up and down?
Thanks.
I would love a launcher with the "drawers" from iOS4, so you could have games in one, settings and tools in one, and media apps in another..

Btw, i don't care much for iOS, so don't flame me for posting a screen from it.

There's a home app called iHome. Pretty much an iPhone rip, but has some pretty good screen anims.
Or, get an iPhone 4?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
this not a launcher but "apps organizer" does exactly what that screenie shows
Thanks will take a look.
Apps Organizer doesn't offer what the OP asked, only what the second poster asked for (I use it).
I've also been looking for being able to rearrange the app order for months.

Hi,mate...This situation didn't happen to me...Since I'm using shubcraft v1.5...If not mistaken you are using Hyperdroid build,right?I think this problem related to the screen density...I'm using the shubcraft default screen density (which is 240),it works like charm...You may try to adjust it,since Hyperdroid build using lower screen density(so you see more spaces on the homescreen...
Here are some tips about how to change the screen DPI...click here
Hope this works...you may give it a try,see it goes...If all else failed,You can refer back to your Hyperdroid build thread...Pongsters already listed down plenty of useful tips about his build...
Cheers...
nice wallpaper..
can u share it???
thankx
Its always a good Idea to look at things twice. I say this because when i first saw it I thought it was awfully ugly. Second look I decide its not so bad.

Haha,yea,same here...its pretty cool launcher,it helps us categorise our apps...furthermore it includes widget as well...Thats great...unlike the Galaxy S launcher,we cant install touch wiz widget...
The home and their widget only supports 240 dpi. If not everything looks wrong.

i have it working good on my hd2 mattc 1.7 rom
Hi all,
I was wondering. I would like to see an unlock screen with 6 (or 9/12) small pictures/icons in random postions. The user can make up a small story so he would know in which order he should slide/swipe to the different pictures to unlock the phone. Also a nice feature would be if the usere could pick the pictures which would be displayed on the lockscreen. The position of the displayed pictures/icons should always be random to ensure security.
Is there something like this out there for android??
Regards, RR69
I think it's too easy and fast to solve. Why not a lockscreen with something like this to solve?

I couldn't for the life of me find that thumbtack icon / button which is suppose to be next to the X on the Top of the Action Memo. This will help me put them up on a screen as a widget. check the third image to the right. Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, I'd love to just go to one of my screens and just start writing. But I can't find that thumbtack button. Here, i found a better picture. Do you see it on yours?
Nope, weird. Closest is long pressing the note within SNote and it gives me an option to send to home as a shortcut...but no pin.
I just saw a similar post in another thread... are you using the stock TW launcher? If you are using a replacemnet launcher like Nova, or Google now Launcher, you will lose the thumtack pin feature in action note. Action notess can only be put onto a TW homescreen.
Doesn't work on default launcher either just tried.

Yeah, that's what I thought it was before I posted this thread. Unfortunately, that darn button won't show up in stock launcher either. I'm thinking it's a different apk??
Maybe ? My Tmo firmware update already hit soon as I turned on don't know if it was there prior.
Ok I got it. From reading a similar thread, they're saying you need a reboot for the pin to show once you switch to touchwiz. I did not do the reboot so it was still missing even with touchwiz.
I'm also going to let nova launcher devs know this issue so they can fix it. For now I'm just going to use the action memo in the minimized form.
Did you get an answer from them?
Figured I would create a thread here so that we don't clog up the main thread but think it would be helpful for people to get examples of what people are running. I always feel like I am not getting the most out it just because there are so many possibilities. I know my situation is different since I am running 2 units but here is what I have currently running, I think I am going to change the navigation to one of the other options because it annoys me how much the location jumps around while sitting still and haven't seen any 3D recently to make it worthwhile

Just downloaded FCC Launcher, and having tried most of the other launchers out there, for me, it is the best one! Currently creating my screens, so will post an image when done. Can't seem to upgrade to the premium version, though.

Were you able to get it upgraded? I love the launcher as well, almost like there are too many options for it

Yes, I had to uninstall, redownload and re-install, and it then worked. You are right; there are so many options. I had my screen all set and ready to take a pic, and then the media player widget stopped showing artwork and track names from DAB-Z. I will get it fixed and then upload an image.
