[Q] Porting the Fascinate Lock screen

Id love to port this thing over but what would all I need to edit? The XML files or just simply try and flash the framework-res.apk? Any help would be appreciated

Alot of the deva have been trying their hardest and it just keeps boot looping they said. It can't be done right now because unlike the fascinate, the Epic runs TW2.5 instead of 3.0. Gotta wait for 3.0 to be availible on the Epic I believe

Isn't the Epic Experience Rom using TW 3.0?

People don't search no more. This question and awnser had been posted in many threads from roms to asking for the lock screen.

I don't think its a full version because you can't edit the bottom icons or the app drawer.

Vibrant is running official 3.0 like the fascinate. As is the captivate.

Really? Whenever I long press an app it only gives the option to put it on my homescreens. When i press Menu in the app drawer it only says List View , and when i long press the bottom icons it does nothing lol. But when I press the home button it lets me edit however many homescreens I want and it also has the numbers on the dots at the top showing which screen im on so I thought it was just a partial 3.0 or something haha.

Open the launcher, hit menu, select 'view type', choose 'customizable grid'.
Then hit menu again, and now select 'edit'.
Of course this is if you are rocking the Epic Experience ROM

The reason we got 2.5 is cause 3.0 wasn't working right in landscape mode. Are phone automatically goes into landscape once the keyboard is slide out. The other galaxy s phones do not have these keyboard. So landscape mode wouldn't pose a issue

WOW MAN I LOVE YOU!
lol I was like what the EFF why can't I move my bottom icons thanks so much this tip should be included in the features of the epic exp rom!

Porting the lockscreen would require using baksmali to mod the framework-res.apk. I've looked at it and it was way over my head. People without coding experience need not apply.

so, if it doesnt work right with TW2.5 and epic experience has TW3.0 from the fascinate then why dont we just port it onto epic experience? wouldnt that make it much easier?
EDIT: epic experience uses TW3.0 from the vibrant past 1.2.01. not sure what the difference is but it still should make porting it easier.

True. Only if the phone ships with Swype can anyone include it in a ROM or post the .apk. Otherwise have to sign up for the Swype beta. I think they give XDA a hard time and make legal threats and such whenever anyone posts an unauthorized copy.

lol.. What he's getting at skzdlmt is you shouldn't be doing that, more because it's not right to not support the devs' work as opposed to it being 'illegal'.
On topic, I'd love to know how I can get Swype working. Whenever I try to open the installer it FCs.

All true. And to appeal to selfishness, it's also dangerous. You don't know what kind of ish you're downloading.
ON TOPIC: I had that problem on NFX's but I don't on MikShift or CM7. It's weird because I've seen others say they have it on MikShift but not NFX's.
^ Shift Faced

Yeah definitely odd, running MikShift and it's giving me the FCs. Hopefully something gets worked out, shame because they just released an update for it..

Been running Swype for almost a week now. I have been having problems with the swype function suddenly not working. The keyboard is still functional, I just can't swype my finger across the keyboard. This has happened 4 or 5 times now. Simply deselecting Swype and reinstalling via the Swype Installer fixes the issue.
Any others experiencing the same?

Happens on any reboot. It's documented on the swype website. Easier to switch to another keyboard then back, rather than uninstall and re install

Totally agree....

Running SWYPE with NFX odex. The only time it breaks is when I reboot the phone. I just restore it via Titanium Backup.

Can't we just take MIUI'S idea for screenshot?

THIS IS A DISCUSSION/QUESTION and probably wont fit best in questions section.
People who are using MIUI beta for vibrant right now, you know you can take screen shots by pressing menu and volume down... right?
wouldn't we be able to incorporate that into our existing roms? It would just set a action for what happens when you press those buttons... so anyone willing to give this a shot?

Lol yea but that's gingerbread

Recent applications in the Notifications Bar

Is there any way to get the recent apps in the notifications bar, kind of like the inspire has it. It would function like the home button but it would appear as you pull down the bar. Does anyone know how to do this?

Like I said, that's the only way I know of to being up recent apps. Maybe a theme has it?
Edit: looked into it further and I don't think its possible. Unless someone comes out with a rom that has that feature, long pressing the home button is the only way. I think the app executive assistant has something similar too.

OMG it's like "Who's on First?"
let's get a nice stable, fast, working ROM on the Aria from CM7 before looking for tweaks to mimic another handset.
If someone had the Inspire, they'd probably see the Aria and want something they don't have, too.

the mysense (yogentouch) rom has this feature.

Speaking of this, is there a way to disable this on ROMs that have it. I hate that about the Inspire. The task-bar/dropdown is polluted enough as it is.

I think widgetsoid has that ability, I'll check and update my post if it does.
Edit: With Widgetsoid you can put your favorite apps in notification bar, but with Smart Bar you can put a button that will bring up a recent apps window. Only two solutions I can come up with. Hope they help.

Forgive the silly question, but keeping the capacitive buttons offers us more real estate, correct? The GNex can get away with having on-screen buttons since the screen itself is like 4.7", not 4" like the Epic...
Beyond the aesthetic value, is there something I'm missing related to the capacitive buttons?

I think it'll just come down to preference. Some people just like the idea of the on-screen buttons, even if it takes up some space.

i only get bugged about is my damn "FAT BATTERY" they say stupid things like " OMG like your phone is too huge" or "that's ugly as hell" whats funny as hell when i don't have my charger by my side 24/7 because i can along time with having to recharge it.

Lol well if the sgs 3'sbattery is the same as the epic 2 and ours then ill prolly be swiping one of those 2100 mah or the extended ones that will come i can see up to 4000 mah if the battery as big as ours will start off at 2100 mah

I can see this to get the task switcher button. Holding the home button only works 50/50 for me as it will think I let up and just pushed it rather than hold it. May be worth losing the screen real-estate to improve multi-tasking.

It really isnt that much heres what you do set ur default screen density to 320 like the gnex then reboot clear the market data press accept then change the screen density to 200 so that it feels a little higher res this will make up for the loss in real estate.
