[Q] Any Animated lock screen App showing Stock Ticker - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

will it be cool to have an animated lock screen showing current Stock Ticker.
or sports scores, news headlines etc.
or is it possible in the home screen?
inspiration: windows 95 scrolling marquee screensaver .....
If not, if someone creates that will be awesome and I bet he will be rich soon.
iphone doesn't have it yet, can WM beat it.

I use s2u2 and added the developers clocks...one of them is the stock flip clock.
Looks good and works great.

New SPB Pocket Plus 4

Have anyone see this?
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en
Now it's possible to use finger almost everywhere.
Looks very good.
They've removed the repeating alarm feature which is a deal-breaker for me.
They've announced that they'll be making it available as a separate download later so I hope they follow through.
Other than that its pretty cool.
The touch scrolling is a very nice addition.
So far so good.
As a today plugin it's great, we can add/integrate (almost) everything to it!
Nice
Looks very good.
I like the "finger" scrolling movement.
The problem is the finger scrolling only works with a small number of applications that are defined by SPB. I tried the trial and found that FTouchFlo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334965) worked much better and also works in every application.
Finger scrolling works very slow in IE on my Artemis (WM6).
I installed it for all of one hour before I lost my marbles and got rid of it, lol... the thing slowed my cell phone down, not too much, but enough for me to be very unhappy with it. Additionally, the autohide function does not enable scrolling if the today screen icons happen to surpass the screen size... and, it disables other plugins I love and enjoy to use such as the Battery Status plugins, argh!
Overall, I could come to love a nifty program like Pocket Plus 4, but I think I'll stick to smaller plugins like PIEPlus and FTouchFlo to cover my needs for now :-S
Just installed on my Kaiser. I looks a lot like SPB Mobile Shell, but the option to add Today Plugins is fantastic. When it doesn't affect my battery or performance too much, this one stays!
I can't tell affect on battery yet, but performance it still ok!
Just posted some screenshots. It looks pretty nice with HTC Home.
i like what you did with the htc home plugin in the middle. nice

Yes, very nice. How did you do that? I notice that it is embedded in your Home Tab.
in case he doesn't come back: if you can't do it by default (maybe you can) there's a reg tweak to make the htc home plugin movable

Can you post the reg tweak?
Judging by johanromijn's screen-shots, it looks like you can make PocketPlus look like MobileShell (without the dynamic icons) if that is true, then if you don't use the Now screen, is there any real benefit to MobileShell?
The one thing I would wonder before trying, is.....do the tabs disapear like MobilShell, or stay constant like old PocketPlus? That would be the deal-breaker for me!!

Sure.
MobileShell is using less memory
But both are for the same price so if one doesn't care about memory guess its better to buy PocketPlus.

The smart scrolling feature is freakin awesome! i dont need pcm contacts anymore since I can touch scroll on the built in contacts and messaging! I can even touch scroll on PIE and file manager.. damn this is good.
I'm using a Hermes and it has no impact on performance whatsoever. It can flip through portrait and landscape in a millisecond (unlike SPB Diary). This is the best today plug-in I've tried so far.

Agreed, on my Apache, it works great I going to see if they will implement sweep right/left to change through letters in contacts or flip through photos, that would be nice.
Also hope they can implement the finger scroll when scrolling through appts. in SPB Diary.
the finger scrolling does not work with resco explorer
I think SPB will not support any products from other companies my friend.
You can still have the touch scrolling feature using this

Does anyone know how to make the Calendar appear on one of the tabs? I've made the same change as listed here for the HTC Home plugin, but it doesn't seem to work for the Calendar.

Ultimate Launch

Ulitmate Launch is a Today Screen launcher that works in a similar fashion to iLauncher or SBP Pocket Plus except it is much better. I have been using it for about a week and i am sold. It is far and away the most useful today screen app and it uses very little memory. You can also set it to not load tabs until they are activated saving even more memory.
Ultimate launch allows you unlimited tabs that can either be placed at the top or at the bottom of the launcher. The tabs can be switched with finger or stylus gestures or by touching the tab you would like directly. The animation for switching between tabs is customizable and offers a cube like spinning which will no doubt keep you playing with your phone more than you already do.
Ultimate launch is also able to nest other today screen plug-ins so you can have HTC home on one tab, Weather Panel on another.
www.ultimatelaunch.de is the website to go get this fantastic application.
You can use standard XP Icons to further customize your tabs and programs.
To find Icons-
Google of course
Deviant Art - www.deviantart.com Awesome site all the way around but many artists on here sharing thier works for free.
CrystalXP - www.crystalxp.net Similart to deviant art.
This is my current set up-
http://img29.picoodle.com/img/img29/4/2/27/f_ULm_bb15642.gif
I have 7 tabs I have it set to spin as you can see I have it set to show all of the icons but blur the inactive icons.
Added some icons http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/111588/Ultimate-launch-icons-zip.html for you to use if you choose.
this was a good application too bad it has not been updated over a year now ... but i think spb mobile shell had used this idea to make it more useful IMHO
I loved this program on my Mogul...
Too bad he didn't take the next step and try to make it into what second today or TF-Detacher is...
Probably impossible to anyway...
I like it very, very much. Is one of the best ever.
Nice Post
Couldnt find anything newer to plagiarize?

Animated flip clock on CDMA Hero?

Hi All
I'm wondering if there's a way to animate the flip clock widget for the CDMA Hero. I swear that the Sense UI used to have it animate (at least that's what I remember seeing in the videos) but now it just instantly switches to the next number.
AFAIK 'flipping' animation of the HTC clock widget was removed due to it being a major contributing factor to the lag in Sense UI...

No, it was just perceived to be. On the old firmware, if you hadn't used the phone for sometime, or it was otherwise engaged on a task, when you went back to the screen with the clock widget you would see the old time and it would play an animated flip to the new time.
With the new firmware, you'll often see the old time, but now instead of using the animated flip, it just switches to the new time.
Personally, I rather liked the animated flip catch up.
Regards,
Dave

In this case I don't really see the difference
With the flip, returning to the home screen and swiping while the flip animation was still going, or had just finished, there was noticeable lag before the swipe animation started.
Without the flip, no laggy swipe...
This was perceived with my eyes, and i'm struggling to think what other aspect of my perception held the truth. Maybe I should've tried licking the screen?
streetdaddy said:

Without the flip.... but with the new ROM. I think you will find that it is mostly the other performance enhancements included in the new ROM that were responsible for the reduction in lag, and not the removal of the clock flip animation.
Regards,
Dave
Flip was removed on the new ROMs for performance issues as other people have said.
However, the flip/animation is still available on some of the other clock widget styles. If you use one of the standard clock face type styles for the HTC Clock, these do have the clock handles spin round to the current time when you go back to the home screen. The flip was only changed on the defualt 'Digital' clock style I believe

lockscreen unlocker

Hello desire community,
I just though of an idea. I like the look of the lock screen on sense, but i miss the option to have two sliders (one to unlock, one to silence). What is someone could build a slider that can slide up and down, plus has a slider point in the middle that can slide either left or right. I have attached an example but I am not a good artist so I hope you can understand what it means.
+1, that would be neat
I thought so to but:
1) I don't know how to program that
2) I can't even draw it very well
Like WidgetLocker, perhaps?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
Moved to themes and apps
I have widget locker. I was thinking like the rotory slider but with one "slider" in the middle and four directions to slide.
This is what he wants except the places where it fades he wants it to rotate, and i agree would be cool.
Edit: this as in dragging up, and down, and rotationg side to side, would give it 4 ways to move instead of just one, and would take full effect of the possibilities of the HTC design...
Exactly I could imagine using up for dailer, down unlock, left mms, and right ringer. If it is in widgetlocker they could be customized
That's a really nice idea, i'd love to see such a feature.
Nice idea but I can imagine the amount of unwanted actions in pocket etc.

None because you would have to touch the middlepoint of the slider to make it work and thats veeeery unlikely....
a better example would be Galaxy S Lockscreen i think
this style is what i like to have

There's a lot of apps you can download that changes the lookscreen and adds customizability

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en

do any of these work with fingerprint scanner? CM says it does, but i don't see the option in their menu -- just pattern or password.

Guys, can I hijack this thread to ask if your backlight is on when you use a pure black wallpaper as your lock screen wallpaper?
My blacks are pure black when I open my screensaver in the gallery (if i tap the screen to remove the UI, I can't see the screen at all in a dark room) and it's the same for most screens except for the lock screen. In the lock screen it almost appears gray or it appears like it's affected by backlight bleeding. Just wanted to find out if it's a software bug (since it's almost like the Night Clock bug) or if it's a defect with my phone. I also cleared my cache with no success.
Also, how do you take a screenshot of the lock screen?

Not sure if they work with the s6 edge, might have to wait for that support. I'll personally just wait for xposed to be updated so i can get fun stuff like wanam xposed, and just live with the current launcher, as i really like the fingerprint scanner.

You can change wallpaper by long pressing on an empty space in the homescreen. It goes into edit mode and you will see a wallpaper icon and label at the bottom left. Tap that and you are directed to another menu to select whether to apply your wallpaper to just your home or lockscreen or both. You can also go to settings>wallpaper to change wallpapers.
As for the weather, the design changes accordingly with the theme you choose.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for sharing guys. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that white status bar I have in the lockscreen. It just looks so ugly. Hopefully an upcoming FW update from my carrier would fix it. :fingers-crossed:
Does someone know how to get the wallpaper the S6 gets when it's on update mod? Blue cyan w/bugdroid on the middle. I really love it

I thought you could open the camera frem everywhere with two cliks on the home button?

Why the need to change that? You only see that when there's an update. Do you get an update every hour?
