Galaxy SIII swipe lock feature?

Hi, I was wondering if there was an app or something that enabled the screen to lock after sliding over the phone sensor? I noticed it on other phones. Thanks!

You mean something like this?:

Sounds great should check out
P.S. It seems like the screen doesn't get locked if the screen is turned of from this app I mean it wont lock even the screen time out period passes.

Proxy pro is the best to do this...u can do 5 different things which depend upon your phone position

Yeah I agree. Is there perhaps an advanced app which locks the screen?

I think this is it:

Sorry about the link I posted earlier. Now that I think about it, this may have been the app that I used (the lite version). Of course, credits to kssood

If u continue searching for these proximity apps u will get many cool apps...u may get one that changes songs with proximity or if u want to turn on your screen with proximity then install smart screen on but it is useless and draws too much battery.
Just for information purpose I post this here.if u have any problem then tell me.I will remove this post.
Remember its not legal to download and use pirated apps.u must support the original developer by buying his app. Do not apply this method unless u are in danger to lose your life .
OK so here it is...
1.Google blackmart and download the appk.
2.install it.
3.u will get the paid apps free here.best pirated appstore after applanet)
I repeat again ...don't use this method unless u are in real emergency .

[Q] Lockscreen Widgets

How do you remove the digital clock on the lockscreen? It keeps returning after I delete it. Also, can you add other widgets besides the four shown?

I was able to use uccw on the lock screen

Try to replace it with another widget. Then go back later and delete that one.

Tried that. The clock came back.

Is there at least a way to make it look decent, without the stupid bold hour digit? I wouldn't mind having the clock on the lock screen if it didn't look so bad.

Download Fixed Clock from the Market/Play Store and use that widget in place of the stock one.

HD Widgets is very nice option as well. It gives you many configuration options for the lockscreen

Can you add more without installing other apps?

[Q] Unlock pattern too small on ROM flash

I've just updated Smooth Rom to 4.2.
On reboot my unlock pattern is 3x3 when originally 6x6.
Naturally I am now unable to unlock my nexus.
Is this know about and are there any easy solutions?
Many thanks for any help.

Sorry but I just have the 3x3 pattern and a star like shape at the bottom of the screen that I can drag to a white circle with google written on that does nothing so far!

Sorted it out by deleting the gesture key file using adb. Funny, there doesn't seem to be an option for a 6x6 unlock pattern now.

Now that I have root access, what can I do to make this phone faster?

As we all know on paper this phone is a beast but in real life not so much. Now that I had this phone for a week I can definitely say that my Galaxy S3 running AOKP 4.3 ROM was faster than this phone (no joke).
I mean the only thing that really bothers me a lot with this phone (and I don’t know if its touchwiz related) is lock screen lag. Sometimes when I’m locking or unlocking the phone it takes a good second or two to “wake up” or “go to sleep”
Do any of you guys notice the same problem? If so is the any way to fix this now that we have root access?
I’m also looking for any other tips and tricks to make this phone a little faster
Thanks in advance

Nova or Apex Launcher, and ditch the window animations.

My window animation is set to 0.5 but I guess I will try no animation and see if that helps

I have never used Seeder but I read that it constantly runs in the background(?)
The last thing I want is another background process eating battery

Zero animations will help a little but it won't work miracles. You are used to an aosp-style rom, and Touchwiz simply is not that. Once we get Safestrap, devs will get debloated TW roms for this beast. Until then, you just have to deal with TW lag & bloat

Screenlag problem
Try

Doesn't use much battery.
Use widget for quick on-off and set to partial.

Posting links to pirate apks that are available in the play store is very uncool.

Try to freeze/remove the "S Voice" application that maps itself to ---> double tap Home key.
By removing it, it removes the double tap mapping which greatly helped with home button wake lag on my Note 2
Next most common thing to help you is to use an app such as Android Tuner to edit the stock kernel CPU clocks. In deep sleep(=screen off), you can raise the mhz of the CPU so it takes less time to wake up. Not sure if you can do this on stock kernel/locked bootloader just yet and this will eat more battery in general if your phone is in deep sleep often

Start Watch On directly as remote

Hi everyone! I wanna know if there is a method to start Watch On as remote directly, without opening the screen with videos on TV and after click on remote button on top right of the screen... Any help would be appreciated

Not sure if there's an option for that, but you can keep it running in the pull down notification bar and as a widget on the lock screen.

Yes I know, but sincerely I hate persistent apps notifications in notification bar... I have widget in lockscreen (and from some days ago the widget has change appearance, for me is very ugly...), but I prefer use complete remote from the app... However it's not a problem to click on a button after a few seconds, but if I can skip that screen can be better... Or delete also, and keep only remote

Yea I know what you mean. I actually use IR remote as well, it's handy as it opens straight into the remote after you have used one. I know some people don't like having more than one app for one purpose but it's free and work a look.
