Help With Custom Lockscreen - Galaxy S I9000 General

I've been looking around for a while now but can't find what i'm looking for so here's a thread asking if someone can help me out.
I'm running an odexed JVU rom, and i'm looking for an AOKP style lockscreen.
One where you can either unlock your phone, or go straight to selected apps.
Kinda like this
I'm aware i could change to another rom which supports this, but i don't plan on changing my rom just yet.

go to google play and search go locker
but before installing this Make sure GO Launcher EX V2.58 or above has been installed, u can find it also on google play for free

I'm aware of Go Locker and WidgetLocker and other similar apps but i don't really want to install them, (too much battery or ram usage and i'm more than happy with ADW)
I was hoping if anyone new any mods i could flash through CWM

[Q] Lock up screen

Is there a way to change that unlock bar type on Evo?
if you have cyanogenmod. Certain roms have add ons that let you flash a different lock screen also.
Thanks. Is cyanogenmod off of Market?
yes it is very possible on all Roms if youa re rooted not just CM. CM is a custom rom wont be on market. it is in the development section. you just either need to change the framework files yourself or find one of the many themes that do.
Additionally if you are looking for the 4 bar on sense there is a post in apps and themes to get it as well.
If you have rooted your phone you can delete or rename the /system/app/htclockscreen.apk and it will change over to the vanilla lockscreen, after reboot.
Can u change it to galaxy s lock screen

Look in the market for lockbot or widgetlocker, a 100% stock can run both of them. If your rooted theres some extra stuff in those apps tat you can do too.

[App]{MotoActv] MotoActv DPI

This is another one of the apps i have been working on lately, it allows you to Change your MotoActv's DPI to three options
-90 dpi (my personal favorite)
-100 dpi
-stock (120 dpi)
notable features:
-Stays on reboots
-Dpi sticks even when app is uninstalled (through build.prop method)
-simple 3-button menu with easy to read insturcions
simple as that, requires a ROOTED MotoActv with working SuperUser, and has only been tested and confirmed on ClearD's ClearRom (and my personal mod of it released on his thread)
feel free to include this in ANY MotoActv rom(with or without credits, since credits are in almost all my apps), as it should work universally for them, but not recommended for phones, ad the dpi is WAAAAYYYY too small for em lol
download:
Google Play Store Download Link
Awesome! Will be testing now!

it works fully with working SuperUser, im getting my github in order and im going to make it open source, right now im figuring out a good way to do my github arrangement, as the old one didnt work well apparently i cant make the projects ina sub-folder without it counting as a whole project lol
but its simple and uses open-source librarys that were featured on xda-developers' protal not too long ago, im adding credits to it once i get ym github in order =)
New version uploaded:
new features include:
-button red background (fixes dark text on dark background for those using ClearD's Cleardroid rom, now included in his roms, and will keep updates here)
Download link still the same
Thanks, great app!!!
Is there anyway to get the motoactv launcher icons and stuff to stretch to the new api. For ex: the running person to being workout is small and left aligned.
Maye there is a custom motoactv "stock" launcher?

idk i never messed with the layout of the stock launcher =S, it might work, but things like the volume slider will not be able to fix easy, as its rom-sided, but the DPI is mostly how it reads to the screen, so unless its a .9.png image it wont stretch unless its setup with different images so unless someone modifies the launcher with those fixes, u will have to get used to the misaligned icons or goto stock when u want it to look desent, as its only a button tap away but im testing some mods for the ReActv rom atm, i love using CLEARDROID alot, but untill he gets a stable build made for me to implement my mod pack imma mod mine with Reactv for a bit untill then, i already got it rooted(as for some reason superuser wasnt working in my flash, so i used a different exploit), testbuild init.d, my mod_pack items+scripts, removed unneeded system apps+Ringtones+files, removed items leading to some battery drain(from missing cellular anteaneas), and working on native screenshot at this minute acually lol so im kinda busy, along with mods to my app SMS Tasks trying to make it work better w/o root through custom recovery making it a system-signed system app for non-root reboots+More Reliable gps Toggle features
If you want to fix the stock launcher when running a custom DPI, then I'd suggest you go to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44034334&postcount=2315
and install the xposed app as well as xposedappsettings. Then you can simply set the motoactv stock apps to run at 120dpi as they were intended, while everything else can run at whatever you default to. It can be used to fix some other apps that crash at specific DPIs or screen orientations too.
to all u MotoActv Users with ROOTED MotoActv's and Google Play Store access i changed the link in the OP to my new Google Play Merchant account so if i make any updates (even if this app is considered FINAL as its already the best it can be for its purpose) u can download +restore it there to save some internal sdcard space from an APK download =)
heres a link for all u that do "view latest post" and didnt see the Link in the OP
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KittleApps.app.motoactvdpi
edit#1:
if anyone needs the apk (as i changed the link) for an alternitive download let me know in a reply here and ill re-add it in addition to the play store link if it was a inconvenience to some =)

I'm unable to download from the Play Store, but flashing apk's via ADB is working fine. If you still have it would you mind sharing the APK for this DPI app?

Touchwiz launcher

ive tried several touchwiz launcher zips for install im n slimrom just kinda miss touchwiz feel is it not possible to install the zips ? they install but when my phone boots up the option to switch to that launcher isnt there it doesnt show up. slim rom android 4.3
You must have TW framework in the ROM, as the TW launcher relies on more than just the launcher apk to properly run. Slim, as well as all the other CM/AOSP ROMs do not have this framework. This is fairly common knowledge, search would have given you several thousand answers to this question. Whole point of Slim and the like is to NOT have TW.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
ive also done google searches etc and found multiple ones that i have used in the past on my old gs3 with non touchwiz rom those google searches give u the apk that you can use on any rom. theres multiple ones that say use touchwiz launcher on any android so i know its possible it was on my s3 but that same file doesnt wanna work on my s4

How to speed up our device?

Hi guys,
I've just brought this fantastic device, and I'm very happy about it. He is really snappy whit Nova launcher However I would like to receive some suggestions from you on how to get the best from our N10.
For example, I was thinking to install a custom rom and a custom kernel, but I rly don't know which and I don't know if they rly can give some advantages.
I was thinking something like purity rom (because of tweaked bionic and dalvik libraries) + KT Kernel (because it has been recently updated). Or maybe KT kernel + stock rom + ART
What do you think? Have you got any suggestion? Tell me
PS: sry for my bad English
Hi,
I've been using CyanogenMod 11 with its own kernel for some long time now, it never ceased to disappoint me! However, it's not recommendable creating threads asking for the "best kernel/ROM", the best thing to be done is downloading and trying yourself until you find something that suits well your needs . CM11 with NOVA Launcher was good enough for me hehe.

Eheh I know that, but I'm not a flash maniac, and rly I have fear to brick my device flashing and re-flashing roms on roms... That's why I'm asking your opinion. I would like to find immediately the best solution, flash it and then don't touch the device more.
However the for your opinion. I will keep it in mind

I think that the first thing you need to ask yourself is what are your priorities with this device? For instance gaming performance, media consumption, is stability paramount... Etc?
You may want to start off with rooted stock and add the XPosed framework plus modules that give you custom ROM features particularly Gravity Box. If you need more then change your kernel (Franco, KTManta ... Etc). No matter which way you go take nandroid backups and save them off your device before making a significant change (kernel, custom ROM, moving away from stock). Your recovery of choice will provide you with the nandroid backup/recovery functions.
Also read, read... Knowing the focus of a specific kernel or ROM will help in making your choices balanced by the issues other users are having.
Good luck.

Thank for the answer.
Yeah I always read all the feature of roms... But they never speak about optimization or performance. They always add features and options on Android but... Nothing I can't get with gravitybox.
What I need is smoothness. Not necessarily game performance, but speed while moving from app to app without microlag.
However, let me ask here other questions without opening another thread:
1)Is it normal that, when trying to access the recovery (my device is locked and not rooted) it display "no commands"? Do I need to unlock the device to get into recovery?
2) Can you suggest me a program make backups of my games saves and apps without root? Because I need to backups my data before unlocking the device...

Well, I can't really speak on custom ROMs and kernels because I'm perfectly happy with running stock rooted with Xposed Framework on my N5, N7 (2013) and N10. But, to answer your questions:
1) Yes, it's normal. When you boot into Recovery, all you initially see is the android laying on his back with a red exclamation mark over him. In order to get the commands to show, you need to hit power + volume down (or maybe up, I always forget) at the same time. It can take a few tries with the buttons, but they'll eventually show up.
2) I believe an app called Helium is what you are looking for. I've never used it since I'm already rooted and use Titanium Backup, but I believe it kind of works the same as Titanium Backup.

Do you mind providing the instructions of installing Xposed Framework on N4 and N10? Thanks a lot!
Nexus devices are very very hard to brick. Luckily. So no worries there mate. As for roms. Long story short: there is no best rom. If you want speed juat overclock the beast..

No problem. Everything you need to know can be found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401.
It's pretty straightforward. Just install the Xposed Installer apk, then go into the Xposed Installer app and hit "Install/Update". Reboot, and Xposed Framework should be installed. Then, just go back into the Xposed Installer app and click "Download" and choose whatever Modules you want to run. My personal favorites are Gravity Box, Unicon (purchased through the Play Store), Xuimod, and App Settings. I also have the Xposed GEL Settings (XGELS) Module, but only on my Nexus 10 since I love the Google Now Launcher, but it shrinks the icon grid considerably. So XGELS allows me to get the same number of icons on the GN Launcher as the default launcher.
Edit: Oh, and here is a collection of the Modules so you can see what each of them do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/index-collection-xposed-modules-post-t2327541

Thanks a lot for the detailed help!
A couple of questions:
1) Is backup necessary before the installation?
2) Does the Enable Translucent Decor module hide the navigation and notification bars?
3) Would the installation of the Xposed framework interfere with the stock ROM updates later on?
Thanks again for your kind help...

No problem.
1) It's not really necessary, but before installing/flashing anything that can modify system files, I always think it's a good idea to make a backup beforehand. You never know. That being said, it's all really simple.
2) If you're talking about the solid black background in the notification and navigation bars, then yes. It doesn't completely get rid of them, it just makes the black bar transparent like it should be when using the Google Now Launcher. I don't use that specific module because I already use Gravity Box, and it already has that option to enable translucent decor. It works flawlessly. I don't know why Google said it causes issues on the Nexus 10. If you want to completely get rid of those two bars, you need to enable something like PIE controls and Expanded Desktop.
3) Yes. But the solution is simple. When you want to update via OTA, all you have to do is go into the Xposed Installer app, and under Framework, just click Uninstall. This replaces the modified Framework with the stock Framework so you can update via OTA without any issues. You don't even have to uncheck or uninstall your Modules or the Xposed Installer app itself. Then, after updating, you'll probably just have to re-root by flashing SuperSU in recovery (unless you have survival mode enabled). After that, simply go back into the Xposed Installer app, and under Framework again, click Install/Update. As long as you left your Modules as is, your setup should be back to how it was before you took the OTA.
Well guys, i think I'm going to install SlimKat 4.0 and KTmanta Kernel... I will tell you if I'm satisfied of my choice
Ok guys, I've done some tests and now I've decided too keep Purity rom + ART... And the results are incredible!
23000 score on Antutu benchmark
9000 with Quadrat
Incredible performances and a GREAT battery life, much better than stock rom with dalvik
I think that the tweaked ART and Kernel of Purity Rom deliver the best experience with our device. I suggest it, you will be surprised of the benefits you can get!
Thank to everyone who helped me in this thread
I have been very happy with my AOKP and Franco Kernel combination.
I've installed Purity ROM + ART and it's fast - but i still think stock 4.3 is faster. I tried KTManta and that didn't change things despite overclocking the CPU and GPU.Wish we could have ART on a 4.3 rom.
Are there any recommended 4.3 rom/kernel combos that give good performance?
Edit: First time i installed Purity I didn't install GApps. It was incredibily smooth and fast. After installing GApps, it became laggy again, similar to my experience of stock 4.4.2.

Do you really find 4.3 faster then kitkat + art? It's really strange. Well I know that the latest jelly bean firmware maybe is built better than 4.4.2 (which has got some bugs here and there, and yeah I prefer JB device options format) but ART is unbeatable, except by a very well tweaked Dalvik library.
However I think I know maybe why Purity 4.4.2 seems laggy to you. Maybe it's Google now launcher + transparent status bar & notification bar.
I've changed the launcher to Nova (but u can use Apex and similar) and immediately disabled translucent bars. It's smooth like butter now. With tra translucent bars, instead, everything was a little laggy and not fluid. In particular the Drawer scrolling was clearly laggy.
So, try to Nandroid backup, flash again Purity + Gapps. Then change Launcher (and unistall the google one if u want) and disable translucent bars. Then activate ART.
That's what I've done and I'm very happy of the performance provided by my Nexus 10
Also now I'm trying KTmanta Kernel. I didn't found increased performances, but I really like the possibility to undervolt both CPU & GPU. Undervolt = less energy request = No overheat = best battery life

This is cool
I' going to test KTmanta for another week, then I will switch to Franco kernel to see which is better
Sure I agree the general UI and multitasking is snappier with 4.4.2 with ART than 4.3.1...BUT I primarily bought the nexus 10 to consume media (e.g. video, ebooks, music) and for me buttered AOKP 4.3 is much smoother when watching video than any 4.4.2 rom/kernel combo I tried. The trade off is a bit of stutter in the UI but I can live with that. Video was just terrible on 4.4.2, including audio sync lag and plenty of dropped frames.
Can't wait to see how 4.5 behaves with video as I really like ART!

ZE552KL WW_14.2020.1703 update disable theme, need earlier SystemUI

Seems like theming is no longer possible on WW_14.2020.1703. All themes can't be downloaded, instead, it sends 'waiting' message that seems to last forever. Anyone experiencing this? If by any chance. SystemUI apk from earlier version of android N could be shared, preferably from 1701, it would be much appreciated. I'd like to go back to a theme that brings me closest to stock android quick setting appearance.

If you have rooted, just disable themes app, change the apk in system with an older version released at the end of last year, enable and wipe data. If app crashes, wipe theme app data, disable, reboot and enable.

Icon packs does a better job for that. You don't need themes. I prefer icon pqcks from Sourabh Gupta. He updates icons frequently and all his icon packs has 5700+ icons. His latest Android O Icon Pack is pretty awesome. It is paid though.

I'm afraid that's not possible without root unless Asus re-enable the option in future update. I think the transparency of quick setting might cause issue(s) with currently available themes. And you're right, quick setting with the rounded toggles and notifs, especially in lock screen, are painfully ugly.
Hi guys, there's a fresh post https://www.xda-developers.com/downgrade-an-app-android-no-root/ , anyone has successfully downgraded to earlier version of zenui with third party theme support?
