Rocket Dock.: http://rocketdock.com/
Edit: It's not on Metro UI per se, it's on desktop. Don't know what to tell you if you're looking for one for the start screen.

Ok thanks anyway. Nevermind, in fact i start to stay more and more on the standard desktop...

I hope that, as time goes on, we see alot more programs which let us do customization like what yyou're looking for. I would still check out Rocket Dock though, I find it quite handy.

Hiding apps?

Is there a way to disable the visability of any given application in our menu of applications?
I like the boobs butts and babes application but get tired of my phone turning into a play ground for these people who need to make a call. Enough said.
I use apps organizer instead of the tray. If the tray gives the ability to categorize and hide apps, I will go back, but till then I will stick with apps organizer.

I was wondering the same thing as the OP. I don't need my app list cluttered by icon packs for Bettercut. Thanks, I'll try this out.
Let me know how that program works for you.. I saw some of the reviews with the link and think maybe its not what im looking for.
As I recall that app doesn't actually remove it from the tray, just makes you put in a password to launch it.

Delete a Program Shortcut

Just a heads up if no one knew... Instead of going through the system setting to delete a program, just highlight the icon of THAT game/APP/program and drag to the garbage at the bottom and hold there. You will get a "drop to uninstall" option and vua-la... hope that helps...
The thing is that that only works with apps that we downloaded ourselves. Most of wanna get rid of the apps that came preinstalled. (Which can only be done with root)

Wow, what great timing. I don't mean to hijack your thread haha.
If you don't want to uninstall apps but you don't want to see them in the drawer, then the the newest version of LauncherPro can help (if you already use it)! I literally just updated like 10 minutes ago and it has a feature to hide shortcuts from the app drawer! Best feature evaaaaaar.

your best bet is to tie together widget locker with minimalistic text and tasker to create such a lock screen.

This is NOT an lockscreen issue I believe.
In handsent sms, it also shows application popup, even when your phone is locked. You can reply in the box, then it pops you back to the lockscreen. It is an application issue.
But like what #2 said, you can achieve that effect by WL and couple of apps.

no i dont even know what whatsapp is. you are trying to do something very specific so dont expect there to just be a tut for you to follow. try some stuff, learn the basics of tasker and then apply them to what you want to do.

Whatsapp is a crossplatform messaging system similar to kik, pingchat, etc... it's something that would be hard to make a tasker thing for.

[PARANOIDANDROID TABLET APPS] Apps with Different Tablet Mode UIs

I'm stepping out a bit here and starting a thread for apps with distinctly different Tablet Mode UIs for the Paranoid Android ROM. Bear with me, this is my first time doing anything like this, so please excuse any noob mistakes......I have to say that I'm not in any way affiliated with Team DIRT, the ROM, developers, etc, just starting this as a helpful guide for myself and (perhaps) others.
I'm hoping that people will be able to add to this with specifics on apps they use that have a different 'flavor' when in Tablet Mode, particular settings used to maximize functionality, etc. To that end, here's my initial list of what I've found:
1. Calendar- when in Tablet Mode, displays multiple calendars (e.g. Weekly, with Monthly in bottom left) and lets you pick which calendars are shown without having to go to Settings to do so. I've got it in Tablet Mode with a mid-to-low DPI.
2. Gmail- in Tablet Mode, has a column of mailboxes on the left, email headers on the right, and when you click an email it takes you to that one; you use the back button to go back one 'level'. I've got it in Tablet Mode with mid-DPI density.
3. Contacts- in Tablet Mode, has a column of people on the left, tapping one brings up their information on the right. Mid-DPI works for me, not too small; bigger settings make individual contacts unusable/unreadable in Tablet Mode.
4. Settings- very useful in Tablet Mode IMO. Column of Settings on the left, clicking on one brings up sub-settings on the right. Again, mid-DPI in Tablet Mode seems to be a nice medium, for me.
5. Google Play Music- Tablet Mode makes it a sort of permanent 'Album Cover' style, as if you were to turn your phone sideways in regular Phone Mode, but all the time.
6. Maps- has a different button layout in Tablet Mode.
This is just what I've found with the apps I have; I've seen other posts for other ROMs where they've found that Google Reader has a different look, for instance, but I haven't been able to recreate it. I hope you find this useful, and look forward to additions!

(BTW, hit 'Thanks' if this is useful to you!)
most apps get 2 columns (like tripit, google drive, etc)
The old youtube gets an awsome wall of movies! (im still using old one as its awsome)
the play store is different aswell
You are missing alot of the ones that come with the Rom
Apex
Browser
Calculator
Camera
Email
DSP Manager
Launcher2
Nova
SU
Talk
Trebuchet
All have a tablet mode and change the appearance. I will let you update your op with what each one does.
I have also used many tablet application now on my phone Which is nice as well
Tweetcaster pro has a tablet mode
Two columns, left is various options for tweets, right is tweets

I didn't even notice the new one until now that you mentioned it, and I don't have the option to uninstall update, only to uninstall the app completely. Can you please post the old version so I can have the old wall of videos too? TIA!:
Been wondering about this myself...
I have a GNex and running PA...
Others I've found:
Netflix - phoneui is just a list. tabletui allows you to scroll through titles and is more like its ps3 or pc interface.
Camera as mentioned - is a forced landscape mode with different positioning for controls.
Browser - tabletui adds visible tabs. phoneui has less 'chrome'

Slide Aside, Q Slide and q memo. Good work LG!

Hello guys! The first thing that positively surprised me the first time I used my gpad was the improvement given by LG software.
In particular Slide Aside(too freeze an app) Q Slide (kind of multi windows experience) and quick memo are very good. How can I the same feature on other devices (like my galaxy s4, where samsung software are only garbage).
Any third part software?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
I don't know... I personally find slide aside and qslide kind of worthless. What I find useful is the built in samba server over wifi - now that's useful.
not all the program have a real resume function, so I need to find something similar for my smart phone. It's all depending on a how you use the phone
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
I guess I'm not clear how using qslide is all that much different than holding home and switching tasks that way. I mean I guess qslide may prevent the garbage collector from killing an app before you are ready... but I've never seen that be an issue in any practical use since it doesn't clean up right away.
Now, one thing that I stumbled upon today that is really nice is when you copy text, a widget comes out with all of your recent copy's! Now That is Really Handy! Now, how to get back to it once it disappears...

I didn't know about the samba server. How do you make use of it?
Go to Settings, under Wireless Networks, choose More... and enable Wireless storage. And yes, it rocks.

Guess it's just on the stock rom. I'm using mahdi-rom and its not an option. Guess I could install am app to that, if I need it.
I'm sure there are decent apps out there, I was just impressed that LG would include something so useful that does require some technical knowledge. It requires you to \\<ip> and login with a provided username/pw.

Anywhere that you're going to enter text, press and hold the screen. There will be two options, Paste, or Clip Tray. Clip Tray will get you everything you've copied.
It also comes up in a menu when you highlight a word, for example when copying, it should give an option for Clip Tray as well

I found what you mean with the Clip Tray. That'll work. Thanks!

Hello to all! Do you know any apk (module) that is the same the QSlide of LG G Pad?
