Hi guys,
I'm having the following issues: every time my screen locks for a certain amount of time, any live wallpaper close and it goes back to default wallpaper. Also, when I give enough time with my screen locked, all my widgets get closed and I have to add them all over again.
Any idea whats going on?
My x8 is rooted and have xrecovery (root explorer and those things needed to install xrevovery) but nothing else (not using any mod or ROM)
Thank in advance.
Here's an idea. Like the way we pull down the notification bar, at the lock screen, we pull down our home screen or last used app to unlock.
Technically, I have thought of one possible way doing it. Using widget locker, place a widget at the top of the screen, it looks like a bar or an arrow pointing downwards. It takes a snapshot of the screen when the phone is locked or screen timeout (probably widgetlocker locked intent broadcasted?). You pull it down to a certain point, while showing the snapshot last taken, and tell widget locker to unlock (widgetlocker unlock intent - are there any?).
So that's my idea and with very little chance I will developed it (cuz I don't know how!). Hopefully someone will take this concept and developed it and/or anwser a few technical questions:
1. How to take screenshots and uses it in the program?
2. How to determine is it pulled down to.a certain point, especially to support different screen sizes?
3. How to use only 1 row of widget space but pull it across a screen?

I just downloaded wp7 lock and I must say that my concept is similar to wp7 lock, but entirely reversed. Pulling down instead of up, and pulling home screen instead of lock screen.

Time TO rock 'n roll
Ok now i want to use this thread to have a discussion about what should be improved for the galaxy s III users by the software side.
I say
Quality audio in the video recording
Brightness
LED Rgb(colored)
Audio (on listening) with Noise-OFF option ON in the call settings
Scrolling Live/Static Wallpaper UI doesn't change
Anything else?

Reports say that the 'double tap' the top to scroll back up the contacts list...only works on the contacts list. So, hopefully...our devs can make it universal on any screen that needs to be scrolled. Also, maybe a 'double tap on the bottom' as well. (maybe the double tap on the bottom can take us back to the previous screen position)

A way to swap the menu and recent apps key assignments. I'd rather do the left key for recent apps and hold the home key for menu. Also stock ICS theme with all Touchwiz features
- Reduce home button delay - edit: just found out you can decrease delay by going into s-voice settings and disabling double click home shortcut.
- Improve lock screen wake up speed
- 5 instead of 4 lock screen shortcuts (e.g. i'd like to be able to have phone, messaging, email, internet, camera)
- scrolling wallpaper would be cute
- prevent flashing white notification led when phone is charged? or was it for something else? This actually woke me up last night and wouldnt stop until i pulled the power cable.
- ability to swap icons around on the launcher when the grid is full. Is it just me, am I being stupid? because when a launcher page is full, I can't move icons around anymore. I can move icons into folders, but when I drag an icon over another one, they refuse to swap places. Is this normal touchwiz behaviour? if it is, it's going to make organising my home screen severely annoying!
I'm such a dork, I got super excited that someone besides me said scrolling wallpaper. lol

That white LED woke me up too, its way too bright.
I solved most of the other problems by installing NOVA launcher though, phone wake up is instant, home button twice as fast (but generally still slow) and no issues with full icon grids

Yeh, a flashing bright white led is a strange choice. A dim green one would have made more sense.
Might try another launcher then. Do apex and nova have lock screen shortcuts?

NOVA uses the touchwiz lockscreen from what i can tell, so shortcuts are there.
I have actually removed the lockscreen entirely, the phone wakes up much faster.
As for security, I use an app that uses face unlock only when you try to get to settings, play store or any other app you choose. This way I can access my phone quickly for usual things but have the security where i need it.
I'd quite like the ability the rearrange the controls in the notification menu.

How can you customize the lock screen shortcuts? Thanks

1. Auto light level is too low and too slow.
2.RGB LED too light and turn on time is too short.

What can be improved:
- Get rid of the horrible sharpening that creates ugly halos around text on non white backgrounds. (it is software as using power-save L1 in browser eliminates the sharpening)
- Remove a little of the pink tint in color temperature
- Reduce the millions of always running (unquitable) services running to a minimum so that home screen restarts and browser out of memory are less of an issue.
- Make the home launcher system persistent
- Remove the unnecessary animations that slows down the speed of waking up the screen and returning to home screen.
- In browser add ability to access tabs and url bar by tapping menu when in full screen mode.
- Add text reflow to browser similar to htc. The default fit to screen option butchers the look of the webpage overview.
- Add the option to choose between LQ, HQ or HD in youtube app.
I want to get the Nexus 4 but only if I can disable those buttons as all the videos I see they turn invisible in full screen apps but you're left with a black bar instead of the full screen working. I'm worried that it is at a hardware level and you'll never be able to disable them so you can have the full use of the screen. It's such a big downer seeing the phone compared to other phones and how much space those buttons take.
Thanx.
Edit: I don't want it where I have to go into a menu to switch them on or off. I want them to hide themselves when I haven't got my finger in the area so I can quickly use them, otherwise it would get annoying having to keep manually turning them on and off.

Not built into Android? You'd have thought it would be a feature that would be one of the first to make it in.
In some roms you can make them smaller, but disabling doesn't make sense because you cannot control your phone without them.
Maybe a toggle in the powermenu(longpress power) would be a compromise.
You can use GMD Gesture control from the play store if you dont want to have to flash a ROM to do this. All you do is swipe with three fingers up from the bottom of the screen and BOOM they disappear. You can make your own gesture to do this too!
I use LMT Launcher on my Galaxy Nexus, my navbar is enabled like 95% of the time. Hopefully someone can come up with a mod to hide the navbar.

This is very easy to do. Not sure in JB 4.2, but in JB 4.1.2 all you have to do is remove these lines out of the build.prop:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Make sure to use something like LMT Launcher pie control to replace the on screen buttons. This is by far my favorite setup as I can not stand on-screen buttons taking up screen real estate.
Edit... Someone may want to confirm this on a stock rom as I'm not seeing this in AOKP.
Why does everyone feel the need to create a thread for one question? There is a help threa stickied for a reason, so i'd appreciate if questions were asked there, especially such general questions like this one. Please help us keep this forum cleaner guys.
Hello guys,
I'm using kitkat with TWRP and root. I notice that the time from unlock device to take a picture ranges from 3 to 4 seconds.
We know there's an animation when you slide right-to-left until camera app loads, which possibly takes ~ 1 second. My question is, is there a way to kill this animation?
Found this after 10 seconds of search on the Playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.warpcode.nexus7camerawidget&hl=en
You might need to disable face unlock for it to work correctly or you'll get a black screen when the camera launched and have to switch camera mode to get the image back.

Thank you, man, I searched google for a tweak. I was not that smart like you to think there could be a whole new widget for that.
