Who can make iPhone style animation when running some app? (i mean when window maximizing at start)
iTask is the only thing that does that as far as I know
iTask is just flash animation
how else would you expect to get the animation? if the native app does not include it then you would need an outside flash based program to simulate it. the iphone OS was designed to accommodate this. windows mobile was not.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/GWE/Animate - Change to 1... after soft reset you will have really "nice" windows animations
Enjoy

iPhone OS called Mac OS X 1.0 Mobile
You can hack app start and play animation, before it will show up
Use iFonz!!!!!
id like this too. the iphone is so smooth. I was messing one yesterday.

I disagree. If you have seen Slither's lates cube it is all written in native language. No flash. And it has phenominal annimation. This can be done but it would take someone like him to build it.

Just tried it... But the animation is applied only to the new windows or for which of them are going to be closed...
For example in start menu you won't see any animation....
Use pointui
There is no (easy) way to enable system-wide window animation like on the iPhone because WinMo doesn't allow us to capture an image of an offscreen window (which you need in order to have that window animate into view). It is up the individual developers to implement functionality like this.
it would probably require someone aletering the simple code that allows us that cheesy box line animation and replace it with a code that captures the screen and alters the image before launching the desired program. since that window animation launches, we have to find where that code resides and alter it, im sure it can be done

even if the oem animation was a solid white box instead of the white outline it would be better.

PointUI is a great idea. However, what makes it unfessable is its footprint and memory consumption and memory drain. That makes it almost impossible to use it with other programs at the same time.
Ok, after thinking about it for a bit, it would be very easy for developers to make there apps do an iPhone-like transition on being activated. An example is the default TouchFlo Cube. It's not iPhone like but it's a transition. As for doing such a thing on being minimized, it can be done, but there is a drawback: the background will always be black. In other words, your app can shrink out of view but you won't be able to see the app behind it until it gets activate. You can see this when you close S2P and the TouchFlo cube.
Again, this is something that can only be done on a per-app basis, by the actual app developer. I think you could theoretically accomplish this system-wide using window subclassing but that would be SUPER complicated.
I know there are some other threads about this but I just want to be clear.
Currently I use S2U2 to show multiple appointments on my Lockscreen. Actually it's Two lockscreens, as neither of the hacks in Tips 27 works on my phone. I have to go through two Lockscreens to get started.
My question is... is it really hard to hack the standard lockscreen to show more than one appointment at a time?
I mean to my pea-sized brain, it looks like some HTC Chef/Wizard/Master could simply change the '1' to a '5' say, somewhere in the software or registry and vwa-la, multiple (5) Appointments on Lockscreen.
Obviously it's beyond my spanner abilities (otherwise I'd have done it and been hailed as a hero), but some resident genius must know how to do it, surely?
Cheers
I've attached the cab I use to disable the native WM screen lock. I'm not sure offhand if this is the same one as in the tips thread but it definitely works for me.
I have no idea how to change the default WM screen, though, sorry
Thanks hicks, I'll give it a go.
I have Exchange email set up which requires a lockcreen with PIN for security.
I don't actually disagree that a lockscreen is useful as a security measure in this situation, but I'd love to have just the standard Sense lockscreen with multiple Appointments showing.
I think I can use S2U2 with a lockscreen so I'll try it and see how I go.
Thanks Again.
So it seems that ModernUI has an arbitrary limit on how many apps can run in the background. As I understand it, even apps that don't have lockscreen information *must* be placed in one of the lockscreen slots in order to run in the background.
Any way to get rid of this stupid rule? I have 2 apps that actually use the lockscreen, and my "lockscreen is full" from various other apps I use, so I pretty much can't use the damned thing.

Just found out the same and this is not good at all. This means that I can only have 7 apps to run in the background? If so then the whole purpose of live tiles are gone since I want more than 7 apps to show live tiles.
Installed the Aperion Clock to get a tile with a clock and it stopped working when I remove it from the slot on the lock screen.
Is this really the case and if so, how can we change this?
Hi guys i am developing android app where it set image as wallpaper without cropping it.So far i have successfully achieved this first part.But while testing my app on different devices i came across a strange problem where my app does not set wallpaper at center of screen when given device has even number of homescreens. i.e 2,4,6. while if number of homescreens are odd(which is usually the case with old devices) i.e 3,5,7 it can set at center screen as it has got the center screen. So i want to know is there anyway by which i can come to know how many homescreens device have.
Have: Nexus 6P stock 6.0.1. Need: some customization. Items in green have a solution.
I've enabled Developer Mode and System UI Tweaker. I'd like to do this without root, or anything that would affect individual Google Play-installable apps. (The reason is, I need this device for final user release testing, so it should be what users have just from factory reset + install apps and normal OS upgrades):
Different wallpaper on Lock Screen than behind icons and widgets. (Tried: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-screen-wallpaper-help-how-can-i-do.html - No triple dot menu visible in Wallpaper)
Full brightness on Lock screen instead of 90%, independent of brightness settings. ("OK" option: same brightness as manual brightness in Settings) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/home-lockscreen-brightness-t1704705 - no Lock Screen Options in Settings)
Disable peeking globally. ("OK" option: put them in the statusbar like 4.4.4) (I don't want to disable peeking for every new app I install: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...ifications-in-Android-6.0-Marshmallow_id75408) Temporary solution: I will manually disable peeking for every new app that shows them.
Global saturation setting for icons. (They're all saying "click ME!", that's an icon designer's job. With an excellent high-contrast screen like this, it's a crowd shouting.) ("OK" option: some other way of getting icons to look more Zen.) Icon packs for launchers are that "OK option", browsing tons on Google Play left Hexacon and Dual Shadow. So Hexacon.
Remove the Google Now bar from my Home Screen (without disabling any services). (As in, I taught the device my voice, so I don't need it there for me to tap. Tried: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-remove-the-google-search-bar-from-your-android-homescreen - it's not long-tappable nor draggable, nor does it appear under Google Apps in Widgets.) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
I'd like to be able to do this:
Some quick way (preferably swipe) to access a more compact Quick Settings widget, like on my Xperia Z. I've reduced it to 9, can't remove "Invert Colors" and Location toggles.
Global Night Mode for everything in the System UI - to make it look similar to the Quick Settings. (This is a "like to" only because it's been promised in N. I really need it like, now. ) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
Basically I have the greatest phone, so I want it to look good at all times, and with the aim Clean, Fresh, Zen.
I posted here bc the forum was most specific. Feel free to refer or advise me how to best get answers as I joined tonight.
Any & all advice on single questions is appreciated Not possible is a valid answer, and I'm also prepared to wait for N if that's the answer.
I used to think of "ok google" as a novelty but its become more polished and if it remains reliable Ill continue to use it more& more. As it applies to keeping things clean it sort of does eliminate need for extra widgets.
If you have ok google everywhere u can just say " ok google...launch settings". Same goes for music apps, podcasts, youtube videos etc.
Started using a new app other day you might like called sesame edge. I set it on the right edge, virtually invisible and it brings up quick access to apps.

Thanks, trying it out. Also tried Sesame in the hope that it would let me set a different lock screen wallpaper, but it only had "their automatic lock screen wallpaper or off" as setting. I sent feedback to them, so let's see.

I dont use a lockscreen but on Pure Nexus which Im using now there is an option to set lockscreen wallpaper.
I use action launcher 3 which doesnt allow me to remove google bar (i dont think) but nova will let u do that. I like the bar cuz on action launcher i can put several shortcuts for whatever i want.
ASAP launcher is very minimal. Again you cant REMOVE the bar but swipe down and it turns into a simple clock widget.

Thx, tried Nova and it gives me Night Mode. Thanks for that Still, no way to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen than on the home screen, and I can find no Prime option for it either. Pure Nexus requires CM.
Can I mix and match this type of apps? Will they interfere with each other? Sesame seems to work with Nova at least.
What about Hi Locker? http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-lock-screen-customization-android-lollipop-0160204/
Can custom lock screens lock me out of my phone, make me butt dial, hog battery? I just want to change the gdmn background!
As I wrote, if some feature comes in N I'd rather wait than mess up my new phone.

Seems Im constantly tweaking things and having problems recalling exactly what I used. I know making lockscreen different from desktop is something Ive done many times. Do u have xposed? Pretty sure gravitybox has that option.
As far as butt dials, I use sweep to wake & it was a problem. Always remember to put it in your pocket screen facing out. I also need to do that when using bt headphones or else i get distortion. Anyways if i find something relevant Ill let u know.
Thx for suggestions!
I want weather, clock, and a background that matches my high-end case on the lock screen AND NOTHING ELSE, and then wherever there are icons I want a neutral background or just a color so I can see them properly. I think that's being a normal user with sensible demands.
Right now a huge dark gray or white slate COVERS the background anyway. I don't mind it, it lets me see the icons of all manner of variety and quality against something neutral, still... just allowing a background to set behind your icons seems to be an easy addition... since Froyo... Anyway, end rant about Simple Things. Android at least lets you customize them.
I'm battling notifications now. Light Manager is recommended for the 6P - testing it out now for notifications that are actually important, will report.
