I was wondering in Gingerbread 2.3.2, is it possible to change the lock screen wallpaper to make it different to your background wallpaper? Is there any way of doing it with out using a third party app?
Can anybody help with this?
TBH i somehow turned the lockscreen off and now i can't trun it back on.. So i don't have a lock screen anymore.
And for your problem there is a widget that does that i think but it ain't free. it's called widget locker or something like this.
Every time I swipe up from home it would launch the My magazine app. This totally freak me out.
I really want to stay in TW launcher but this swipe up just really pissed me off.
Disable the magazine app or delete it or freeze it would still bring your to play store and told you " item not found"
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2510102
I am wondering since one could use tasker to change the swipe up function, could we just modified some where of the system to disable this annoying function?
Or could we just use something like Pullup but just Pull up none thing?
Thank you.
( I know I could install third party launcher but Personally I like note 3 launcher a lot except the stupid My magazine )
I've seen a few people mention reluctance moving onto a 3rd party launcher because you lose the ability to turn off your screen by double tapping but there is a way you can do this with Nova and or other third party launchers with gesture controls.
1) Download a free app called Screen Off from Google Play and set it up
2) Set your Double Tap setting to launch Screen Off
Your screen will now turn off just as if you were using the LG launcher.
Alternatively, and with no need for a third party app, just double tap the status (notifications) bar

Or also at the navigation bar with tweaksbox.
Nova launcher comes with gestures where you can set to double tap anywhere to screen off.

Actually it doesn't (unless you're rooted maybe?)
Gestures that you can setup in native Nova do not include screen off.

Correct.....
The only way to do this is with a third-party app which I explained to everyone (thank you by the way for your thanks) in a different topic here.
For me, I just have xposed>gravity box
and go to nova sett.>gestures(need prime)>double-tap>shortcuts>gravity box>screen off.
DONE.

Where is "actions"? I only see Nova, Apps, Shortcuts. And I have Prime.

I have not been able to get the double tap gesture in nova to work at all. I've tried setting it to multiple different actions or apps, and no matter how fast or slow I double tap nothing happens. All other gestures work fine. For the time being I've settled with double swiping down to activate Screen Off.
Has anyone else had this problem with their G3 and Nova?

Look at my post above (post 6 in this topic) and click on the link I give.
This will take you to the topic where I mention what app to install and what actions you need to carry out in order to make it work.
Works fine for me. So far I have never pressed the power button on my G3.
Action Launcher Pro supports Double Tap to lock screen feature.
The problem I am facing with nova, apex...etc that I have exchange security enabled by my employer, all the guesters and third party apps that i tried is locking the phone with the Pin not just shutting the screen, the double tab on the stock launcher shuts the screen but does not lock the phone.
Did anyone find a work around using third party launcher or app ?
Thanks

Sorry Shortcuts
KK Launcher is pretty comparable to Nova and Apex, and it has native support built into it to double-tap your screen to turn the screen off. I've been using this launcher with my Nexus 5 for a while now and have been quite happy with it (compared to Nova). (I'm supposed to get my G3 later today, so I can't speak as to how KK Launcher performs on it yet).

That's exactly why I use the Touchdown app for my exchange mail. Don't have to worry about the exchange security requirement taking over my darn phone...

I believe the latest beta version of G3 TweaksBox has a setting to get around the security features when using Exchange. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792242
Thanks a million, its working like charm, now i can use whatever launcher.
I have Nova as well and works fine just double tapping the status bar. Seemingly works better than LG'S...
Seams like there are a lot of different ways that everyone has to do this.
For me, I have been using Tasker to get double tap off with Nova Launcher gestures since the G2. Tasker is such a great app with about a million uses, I highly recommend everyone check it out. I have it setup to auto connect to different wifi's depending on my location, adjust screen brightness/ringer volumes depending on the time of day, and many others.
Action launcher is the best
I want to replace the stock weather widget with another of my choice or even add a widget, is that possible
Not with the stock lock screen. You could get a 3rd party one that allows this though.
Hey guys, could anyone please confirm whether the back action can be used by third party apps?
I would like to use the following app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
but can't get the back action to work at all. (home and recents work though.
I would like to know whether it is a bug in the app (don't think so because I have the same problem with other apps), it's a problem with oxygen os or with my specific phone.
Thanks
Does it work in chrome and other browsers?
I can go back with the inbuilt navigation options but third party accessibility navigation options don't work at all.
The same applies for browsers.
