On winmo I use S2U2 and have a folder full of pictures that slideshow through while it's sat on my desk dock.
On Android the closest I've found is Lock 2.0 but it doesn't slideshow the pictures and whenever it's on charge it shows that annoying batteru icon.
Anyone know a good lock screen alternative that can slideshow pictures and doesn't fill most of the screen with crap?
Thanks!
I also look for something lke that...
I want to present pictures to people and dont want them to acces my sndroid device. Just the slideshow. Everything else is password protectet.
Somebody knows an android app?
Uhm,... the HTC Sense lockscreen has something like that (HTC Sense from Desire HD or similar ROMs)
There you can choose a Photoslide show if I'm remember correctly.
(its been a long time using a desire HD rom )
Edit:
Hmmmmmm, maybe it was the live wallpaper, sorry. Don't know.
Yes, pReXx is correct.
This feature is available at Sense 3 Lockscreen (instead of a normal wp, you can have social updates, picture slideshow, weather and a few more )
But its not an app, you have to completely switch over to a sense 3 rom.

Download a slideshow live wallpaper from the market and it will show on your lock screen.

If i would do it with a slideshow live wallpaper, the lock screen has to be absolutely clean; also there would not be any transition effects between the Pictures...
And if somebody touches the display you have no chance to go back to the slideshow; only if you turn the phone on/off!
Why can´t there be a slideshow app with a password protection??
dammit

If you set a lockscreen wallpaper, it will place what ever you pick behind.

Same here. Without the "albums" being accessible I don't think we can change the lockscreen wallpaper.
VoX is yours clear as well?
I forget where it is at, but there is a googlebits.zip or something like that floating around, with an albums in it, that works. On my 2.1 I can adjust wallapapers/locksceen. On an interesting note...I guess with the "rotate" lockscreen..it stays clear..I just found that out..whoops. I guess when I am done with the other 2.1 projects I am working on, I will take a look at porting the "rotate" part from ASOP. Then again, maybe someone with a bit more code experience will know how to unclear the background.
yea if we can unclear the background that would work because the lockscreen is functional, so i guess no reason to port.
Has anyone been able to add a back ground to the clear 2.1 lockscreen?
So will this be available for our HTC Hero..?...I really liked the lockscreen and always wanted it...Atleast till we get a fully functional 2.x ROM..
when you try to select a lockscreen wallpaper by clicking Albums, do you get a com.htc.launcher FC?
thats what I got after messing around with it a little. anyone have googlebits with working albums?

I'm in the same boat as you are, it I get a fc when I press Albums, but it still doesn't change when if you hit the Wallpaper gallery button, so idk if it the albums thing would work.
Unlike you I kinda like the clear wallpaper, I just don't like the clock on the lockscreen, it covers my HTC clock

Same boat here. Maybe we can remove the info on the lockscreen?
any progress here for anyone else...? I've been trying a lot, but nothing seems to work so far.
Has anyone been able to remove the htc bar for incoming calls also?
clear background
I get a clear background as well.
Hi there,
Is it possible to just change the lockscreen background but leave the rest of the lockscreen the same?
I know that there are several applications which will provide an alternate lockscreen but I would much rather keep the original if possible.
Cheers.
I'd like to know this too. Even my HTC Tattoo could have separate wallpaper and lockscreen backgrounds. Why not on the desire?

At a guess it's something to do with the live wallpapers.
search the market for WidgetLocker.

lockbot is a good alternative, you get several styles of lock screen and all are customizable
Just installed Lockbot Free to check it out, not very impressed to be honest, the original lock screen appears for a couple of seconds before the Lockbot one which ruins the whole appearence.
Have I done something wrong or is this just how it is?
EDIT
OK, bought & installed WidgetLocker which seems much better. There is still a delay if you lock the phone & then turn the screen back on straight away where it shows the original lock screen but it is negligable. I haven't experimented with all the options yet but it seems pretty comprehensive.
just noticed the wildfire has the option to change lockscreen
Hi.
I don't know if it's only my DHD.
I have htc message widget (black one, not the white one that looks like post-it note) on one of the home screens.
Ever so often when I swipe through home screens that widget is refreshing names and phone numbers that are in the widget (if you have john smith it will delete the name show his number instead and place name back) and when you swipe further to the next screen it lags for few seconds.
Problem is the more messages i have the more it lags
Debugging is not helping and turning fast boot of doesn't change anything either
Unless someone knows a replacement widget to be placed on home screen

Replacement widget ? Well, i use this one, even if it is paid, it's in my opinion the best on the market now :

Good to know you're getting this problem too Matt, as far as I'm aware it's just that the htc widgets are pants. Which is a shame, because I think they look good and are easy to use.
I use the large message, mail and calender widgets and each of them take between 1-3 seconds to refresh. I've even tried to turn off refresh on open where possible just incase, and even disabled mobile data and wifi and it's the same.
The Facebook and Twitter Android widgets work fine, they're already updated before flicking to their screen, which is what is expected from the htc widgets.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix? Is there a setting I'm missing?
I think the answer may be live with it or get another widget, which would be a shame.
All suggestions are helpful

Second that statement, it's usually not something wrong with your phone/your widget version. I've noticed most HTC widgets do end up lagging there are plenty of third party widgets though that do it better.
When I get my phone back on I'll give you the name of a couple I use.
All HTC widget are lags. Maybe they need to free up some memory everytime its not under user's sight so that other apps can run faster with more memory....then it will need to refresh again...
yup, it suxx everytime i swipe to that corner of my homescreen.. omfg its coming! lol actualy the first time i flash/mod my dhd i was expecting it to be smoothen, but ugh..fat chance it really feels like im still at stock rom

Hi guys im new to the forum and, i dont know much around. Could you guys tell me how i could change the lock screen to standard 2.2 Froyo lock screen? I dont want to use the Sense lock screen and i have already tried out lockbot which fails to work miserably.
Thnx Guys ^^
Damn thanks button..., try widget locker, you can also mod it as well if you want to.
Thnx for replying but unfortunately i cant pay for it. Is there anything for free except widget locker and lockbot free?

I'm sure you'll be able to find it on google or on the internet somewhere , and lockbot is crap imo.
Also the widgetlocker website allows you to pay for it via paypal. http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker
I've got default android lock screen by using wildpuzzle + remove htc widgets package.
Just wondering weather to use widget locker or try and mod this one.
Kevin, do you think widget locker will work better without the htc lockscreen?
i shyed away from it in the past because it would show up when screen was locked and unlocked within the 5secs...
Yes it works perfect with the stock android lockscreen, it never shows up after i unlock widget locker.
Just don't forget to enable 5 second root rule just in case.

A lot of thnx for the link and I really appreciate the replies, just one more thing how can i install app to my phone from the computer?
first go to settings -> applications and enable uknown sources....then copy the app to your sd card ...when you do all that use any file manager and go to your sd card and find the app you want to install...then just click on it
use the market app to download a file manager if you dont have one jet
sorry for my english
I've tried the widget locker app, but after the unlocking, annoying animation of flying squares in shades of gray appears. is that normal? how to disable it?
Realy stupid, isn't it I was wondering myself what the hell that was, and when it was raining a saw a very crapy animation of droplets falling on my screen. So the square thing is a weather animation - i think it's supose to tell you that it is cloudy outside
Just look in the setting, you will find an option somewhere where you can choose to show the animation at every screen, show it just when unlocking the home screen or disable it.
Erwin
Why you dont use WidgetLocker Lockscreen v1.2.8.1 ...you can find it on web for free and if you dont I send it to you!
oh so that was the weather animation...thought it was a bug, thnx!

Hi all,
I am really interested in a widget that covers all of a Honeycomb screen. I use Pure Grid Calendar widget on my EVO, but right now there isn't a 8x7 or whatever the full size would be.
If you know of such an app, please post!
If you're looking for such an app, please head over to the Pure Grid Idea that I posted and vote!

Looks similar to Pure Grid Calendar. Do you have any screenshots of this on a Honeycomb home screen? Like I said, I'm looking for a full screen widget.

Not a bad widget. With a name like WIZZ, no wonder I couldn't find it.
While it functions as a large calendar widget, it lacks all of the customization and options that Pure Grid has. Hopefully they'll update with a re-sizable widget soon.
I use Touch Calendar. I added the biggest widget on one of the home screens and long pressed it as if I were going to move it or remove it. Instead of moving it, I long pressed until it flashed and then removed my finger. It remained outlined with a blue line. I was then able to drag this blue line and re-size the widget just like with ADW Launcher for example. So I re-sized to a full screen widget.
Wow. I'll give it a try.
When Spb Shell 3D comes out for tablet it has entire home screen panels for calendar, clock, weather, pictures, etc... It wont show in market yet for tablets. But you can see a demo and buy direct from them at www.spb.com. Once you buy you will be given a download link and a serial number. You can also always get the latest version from their FAQ section.
I have used it on my Evo for 3 months and love it. Its really nice to have similar navigation and features between phone and tablet. Id post screenshots but dont have root access. So far this "experimental" SPB Mobile Shell 3D is better than VLT, Launcher Pro, and ADW all together. Its smooth, lots of packed in widgets and features, and limitless home screen panels that you can easily add/remove/switch order.
You have to use for yourself to see it and know it. =)
