Automatically add apps to homescreen?

I know there is a home screen replacement that puts all your apps on the homescreen but is there just an app or something that u can easliy add your recently installed apps to the default homescreen

Does anynone know what I'm talking about?

Customize lockscreens?

I was curious if there was anyway to use a lockscreen other than the ones provided with CM7 (which is what I'm currently using). And where would I go about finding them?

There are but first learn to post in the general area if you have a question.
There is widget locker in the market as well as extracting the framework-res.apk and chamging lockscreen images and make a flashable zip.
Signatures are fancy.

Check out the WidgetLocker app. Its really awesome and well worth the price. When you buy it you will then be able to customize it and make the lockscreen change with themes other have made.
Heres a thread with some of the widgetlocker themes people are creating

Ill give it a look. Thanks for the quick reply.

Whenever I used widgetlocker, my cm7 lockscreen and the widgetlocker lockscreen would always interfere with each other...how did you get around that?

works ok for me, running CM7(RC2)
agree with others, Widget Locker is the best... and only $2

Thats why I stopped using it. Would get a hesitation using widget locker as it doesnt actually replace the stock lockscreen. It just seems to overlay it. What it appeared to be to me was that widget locker, being an app, had to load. So if it dropped out of Memory the phone had to reload it and it caused this stutter/hesitation between it and the actual lockscreen. Not that big a deal, but it gave the appearance that the phone was glitchy which I didnt like (i do everything i can to make the phone super smooth, no sense in installing an app that counters that, no matter how slight).
Now I just go with no sliders and use a gesture to unlock the phone and have another gesture to toggle sound. Super clean and confusing to whoever picks up the phone trying to be sneaky.

Looking for lockscreen app

im looking for the lockscreen app, like the "pure" android where you slide the bar to to the right. like the htc g2.
I dont wanna buy a lockscreen app from the market.
I got the apk.file for widgetlocker lockscreen but it force closes because it knows i didnt purchase it.
Help me find what im looking for or bypass the widgetlocker lockscreen forceclose thingy please?

Unfortunately, Widgetlocker is the only application I know of to change your lockscreen. No offense to you but you probably sideload a lot of Apps to your phone, knowing all the money you have saved in the past, what's the harm in purchasing ONE app for a change?

Switch to a gingerbread rom like cm it has a lockscreen configuration page. But asking for help with your wares, I'd say is a little iffy.

We aren't to discuss warez on XDA and some developers have taken the option to encode their apps with protocol to verify the legitimacy of the apps

If you want to have an aosp lock screen just go into the system and delete the lockscreen.apk you get the stock lockscreen but there have been known issues of there being transparency. You can see the homescreen even though the lockscreen is there.

Lockscreen similar for QQ Launcher's or similar

Is there a way some could extract the lockscreen from QQ Launcher or recommend a lockscreen that is very similar to it? I tried to get some off the market but those never override the system lockscreens. I was hoping for a apk or even a zip for one.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I dont know what that lock screen is but i use menu lock which gives you 8 buttons. You pull the button over to open an app that you have assigned. I also use No Lock which is an app that keeps your phone from using its lock. Together it makes it to where the only lock i see is menu lock.
It is the best app i have of the over 100 i now have and the well over 500 i have tried.
Good luck.

Thanks for replying.... I forgot all about No Lock. I think I know how to get the lockscreen that I want.

Yup NoLock is great I use it to text at school and don't want an unlock screen lol
Sent from my SPH-D700

Well I think I spoke to soon. I can't disable the system's lockscreen. Even with No Lock enabled. I downloaded the QQ Launcher just for the lockscreen so that I could use it with Go Launcher. It works sometimes, but Im still getting my old system lockscreen. Its gotta be a way to disable the system lockscreen.

MiLocker (MIUI Lockscreen)

Well, we don't have MIUI for our phone, but at least we can now get the lockscreen
From MIUI themselves: http://app.miui.com/index_en.html
EDIT: I am not sure whether if this fits our screen our not. Try it at your own risk (of course, if you do get stuck at the lockscreen, let's pray that you have the back button set to kill the current application unless, of course, you have another workaround).
EDIT2: It looks like the lockscreens do not fit our screen. Not that you shouldn't give it a shot though

Good start, but if you get stuck, reboot, then force stop the app.

i believe that you can enter a safe mode that disables third party apps (as long as you remain in that mode). in safe mode, you can uninstall this app, and once you reboot, everything should be back to normal.
to enter safe mode, hold the menu button during the bootanimation.

Thanks! After I got back in I saw in the settings a tip that you can unlock by pressing back & volume up.

I got it to work fine on my droid x, what I want to know is how to edit downloaded themes or create my own

Thanks Dude
