[Q] Lock Screen - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a fascinate without any rooting done to it. Now I know there are 2 choices for lock screens and 3 password protected screens but I am a little bit annoyed with having to swype every time I wish to get into my phone so I was wondering if there was any way I can go about using a different lock screen found on the market or such. I tried one or two, can't quite remember the names, but neither seemed to work for me. Any ideas?!?!?!?!?!
Thanks

Lockscreen
Hmmmmm, that is a good question... Unfortunately without un-stocking yourself I can't help you, BUT I do strongly suggest you get your hands dirty. There is so much to be obtained, so many things to be taken advantage of with all the great minds on xda. With just a root and a nice rom you can get any of hundreds of themes. Comm Rom1.3 is nothing short of awesome sauce.

there's an app called No Lock that i think i used to use before i rooted... i thought it was called Unlock, but in the market it's the same icon as "No Lock" and it looks like the app i used to use.
It works as advertised, no more, no less.
You can pay for Widgetlocker, it's a pretty neat app... although if you rooted and put on the new Community Rom, the TSM lock is pretty much the same thing

Widget locker is by far the best and most customizable, TSM IS cool, but nowhere near as customizable, I'd say look into Widget Locker.

I will do just that thank you very much!
I am thinking about re-rooting. I did it once and ended up bricking my phone as I was not as well versed in rooting as I had hoped, I will probably do it when this school year comes to a close so I have all the time to read and absorb the information.
Thanks again,
You guys are great!

well one click roots are very easy just message if you need help

[Q] [Request] Launcher like N9

Does anyone know of an android launcher which is like the new Nokia N9?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LphiRFvd40I&feature=related
It just seems like a nice fast way to get around the things you do most often and would be interesting to try it.
Thanks in advance..

Please! Make it so.
Willing to pay for a launcher that would look and behave like the N9 launcher.
it's so awesome
I would too be willing to pay for an android launcher working the same way as Nokia N9.
It would be great!
i have a couple comments on that.
firstly, being a galaxy S user, and having played with the Nokia N9, i can say that my phone, older than the N9, is far smoother and more responsive. Secondly, Meego is a bastardization of Android. The similarities are many, but very few characteristics of Meego measure up to the brilliance of Android.
secondly, the failings of Meego aside, the multitasking in the clip is certainly interesting. However I'm not sure i like the dependence on the side swipe, and the dedication of homescreens to open apps and drawer without folder functionality. It *looks* pretty good, but function-wise, i'm pretty certain that Android would piss me off less.
I like N9 idea too.Android ICS card and swipe would be a nice match.
have you looked at wave launcher which gives you webos up gesture?
That's definitely possible in Android.not sure developers want to develop.
This could be a money maker . . . I'd buy it
An enthusiastic +1 to this idea. I would love to see a project like this realized and I think that this N9-styled idea could be a solid money maker for the right developer. SPB made a killing with their mobile shells, right?
Also, think of all the poor souls stuck with no applications over at Nokia--this could give them enough familiarity and confidence to break their limiting patterns. It's really a mission of mercy.
If anyone has an idea of actions that we could take to move this idea along, or if anyone knows of any progress being made along these lines, please let me know or let us know on the forum.
Infinite flexibility shows that ICS can be whatever devs make of it.

Sense or AOSP [Poll]

This thread is a continuation of the thread started by: eggydrums

Hello there!! I wanted to make this poll to see what the fellow users here in the Amaze forums prefer, Sense or AOSP.
On one hand, we have the original, pure, vanilla android interface. Simple, nothing so complicated and still, yet to come the Amaze, "the pure Google experience". There is no rom that is FULLY stock, with the exception of BeastMOD and SenseLess which are almost de-sensed completely.
And on the other, we have the long running Sense, courtesy of HTC. With lots of eye candy, lots of widgets, and an obsession with weather, Sense is very diverse and customizable. One of the latest versions of it, 3.0, is included with the Amaze, and most of the custom roms for it are Sense.
Many people, love sense, others hate it and prefer AOSP over it. So, its simple, choose your preferred interface, and leave a comment of you want xD

You know what I find is funny?
For devices like G1, MyTouch even Vibrant a bunch of people really want Sense.
Now that you have a device that has Sense out of the box nobody seems to want it.
Here's what I have to say about it: If you don't want it, don't buy it. I happen to be a large fan of the Sense UI. I don't care about how "bloated" it feels or anything like that.
I used to make themes for the devices that didn't have Sense to at least give it a "Sense" look and feel. People went out of their way to edit the Sense UI apps just to make them available for devices that don't come with it.
So now that we seem to have the perfect device to run Sense... you all want to get rid of it?
I don't get it. If you don't like Sense then why by a phone with it??? Someone please explain that to me.

Very valid point,
here's my view
I happen to like HTC since i loved my nexus one, and I bought this phone mainly for it's camera, nothing else is like it on T-mobile right now. I neither hate fan nor like it there are parts of it I like and parts I don't. I bought the SGSII first and hated it, I hated the screen resolution and how big it was...this phone just felt good...Sometimes even if you don't like sense, there are no other options, every individual wants something different and not all cellphones deliver everything in one package. I was initially waiting for the galaxy nexus and just got tired of waiting. I hated the pentile screen when I looked at it in the store (even If I ordered over seas) NO dedicated camera button, this is what I really wanted. I also wanted a 720p screen like the rezound, If I could I would get the rezound, but it doesn't have dedicated camera buttons and I want that. it has the same exact camera as the amaze. a 720p screen on a 4.3 inch screen which gives better dpi than the retina display...But I have no choice, I'm not going to pay 180 monthly just to get that phone...right now I pay 60 bucks on a shared plan and get unlimited everything with 5 gigs of unthrotled data. I also like this about android and like things about the iphone, I can't have it all in one package.
I use locker widget, and adw launcher and I'm happy with it...I do not hate the sense launcher, or the lockscreen, I just prefer my own customization. I love what they've done with their camera app. I like their calendar application. I like their parts of their contact and dialer app and hate parts of it.
I talk too much!!!

Peoples always wanted what they don't/can't have. Simple
I myself love to have a Sense Rom mainly due to its lock screen and weather widget and a few more stuff but also running ADW so I can switching back and forth every other week or so
Personally I think Sense based Rom give me more options. If tired of looking at Sense, switch to other launcher and apps or vice versa whereas ASOP based wouldn't let me have Sense stuff if I so desired
Just because a phone comes with Sense doesn't mean it's the main attraction of the device. Did people buy the Samsung Galaxy S2 for TouchWiz? I sure hope not. There are other features of a product that convince people to purchase it. Specs, look and feel, cost-efficiency, and availability all factor in and affect this. The Amaze happens to feel like a really premium product with high end specs to boast. It also happens to come with Sense.
I don't hate Sense, but I just find it to be too non-customizable and would always use a third party launcher like ADW Launcher or Go Launcher anyway, so Sense means little to me.

I sense garbage.
This is my second htc sense phone.
You like sense until you try something else for a while.. Then you can't stand it.
We all have our own opinions.. It's fine, but for me it's a nice eye candy developed system that I can not stand and can't wait for cm7, 9 or something else.
Also a reason why I have adw launcher.
Talking of CM I kinda missed it alot.
Many great features: crt built-in, toggle widgets on top of pull-down notification panel, brightness adjust by sliding the status bar ect ... And separate lock screen wallpaper
Too many customization Sense lack
I switched back to sense for the beats audio

No problem.
I like sense, I like AOSP, just depends on how I feel that day. With all the themes, Roms, tweaks and different launchers, we can pretty much do what we prefer on any given day. I still have a cliq lol running 2.3.4 gingerbread aosp, a HD2 running Sergios core cell rom, and my "NEW" Amaze stock, patiently waiting for new developement.
Sense has great eye-candy and great integrated apps which is my kind of thing. like the built in task manager, built in social media, built in music player. its all better than stock IMO. Stock gets boring to me for some reason
I personally have no problem with sense, it's just the size, I like using my system partition for apps, but I do like the facebook and tight music control integration!

[Q] Purchased an Optimus G, what's the first thing I should do with it?

So it should be here in a few days....I got it off contract, in case anyone is curious.
So what should I do first? I would like my interface to be as stock as possible. When I use stock devices, or one's that are close to stock (moto razr), I have a set up that I love. My Nexus 7 is perfectly tailored to my preferences.
So do I root and unlock immediately or would a launcher satisfy my crave for a stock experience? I also have read the auto wifi on/off feature kills battery....so should I NOT set that up (it's a feature I'd like to have)?
Also, I'm coming from a Verizon droid razr (not maxx hd pro 4 M...stupid moto). I loved Motorola's Smart Actions App and the ability to have multiple triggers for an action vs. just one. Will Tasker perform in a similar manner or is there a better app now?
While I'm sorry I don't have answers to most of your questions, I would suggest rooting and bootloader unlocking (assuming you get the phone on the older firmware that is still rootable). Right now there are no stock (I'm assuming you mean stock Android/AOSP) ROMs you can install, but really, the LG interface isn't far off and is really pleasant in my opinion.
Installing a launcher like Apex or Nova should do the trick though.
The reason I suggest unlocking though, as there have been devs who said they are working on AOSP Roms, and we will hopefully also see some N4 ports.
I don't recall setting up the smart WiFi feature... pretty sure WiFi stays on even with the screen off and I am happy with the battery.
First thing you should do is put a nice, protective case on it!
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
A week or so ago, I was in your position. I'd suggest first reading the stickied topics in the "General" and "Q&A" sub forums. That will provide answers to many of your questions as well as informing you of what's possible with the OG right now. Armed with that knowledge, I was able to easily unlock and root my phone as well as install TheBase 0.7.3 ROM which, among other things, removed nearly all the LG and AT&T bloatware. I was then able to improve the phone's camera with another tweak, and now have Google Now installed too thanks to xsMagical and the Nocturnal dev team.
If you poke around, you'll see that there's all kinds of things you can do, and the directions are pretty straigh forward and explained in plain language. It all depends on what you want, and how much time and effort you're willing to spend. As time goes on, we'll be getting more and more ROMs, inluding (hopefully) a stock JB one. Don't be afraid to use the "Search" feature. Good luck and happy hunting.

lol... Agreed. Although, I haven't done so...
I'm using Nova Launcher with the animations slowed down and aosp like screen transitions. I really get that aosp home screen feel out of it. Also, trying out status bar +. Really, not in a rush for an aosp rom at the moment with this setup.
If you're sure about keeping the phone I would root and unlock right away. Both are extremely easy. Unlocking is even a one click step if you use the $1 FreeGee app! On that note do not do any At&t updates, since it's been noted that the latest one patches the root exploit. Also, both rooms we have now are working great. I'm on Nocturnal's rom and loving it.
Good luck.

Themer is just another fancy Launcher - what a disappointment !!

Hi guys,
Just wanted to make sure i am not wrong, after playing with Launcher on my SGS 3 i came to the conclusion that it's just another Launcher.
I was expecting it to change all the phones themes including dial phone book and so forth, it was a big disappointment especially after waiting 7 days for it to open for the first time.
am i wrong, or what ?
thanks

This is your opinion!
But let's be honest to get your hopes up that high to think an app that don't need root permission can change the look/theme of your whole phone. I think that's the disappointing thing.
If you don't like why not just uninstall job done.
I don't get the point in putting down the app due to your own ignorance. I mean why not take your know how and be the creator of an app that does all that you want it to without root. What's that you can't! That right to do all the things you want you would need root.
I'm sick of seeing posts like this no one say you have to use this or any other app.
Get over it! Uninstall! And walk away!

Such an app would require root. Seeing as probably a minority root their phones and mess around with it, I don't think it would be with MyColourScreen's time to produce such an app if they wanted to theme everything. Too much code, too many zips to flash, too much theming in general and whatnot.
This app is good for people that want a good luck on their phone. That being said, half the themes on the themer catalogue looks like crap. A lot of it isn't really special in too many ways. Most of them are just cheap with wallpaper doing too much of the work and not the actual feeling of cleanliness. I also don't find these themes to be functional at all in anyway but you either have simplicity or functionality. It's pretty difficult to have both and that, my friends, is why Aviate launcher exists. :good:
Just my 2 cents.
OP: if you want to try the launcher but don't have it currently installed, I can give you a code for it. PM me if you want it. :highfive:

I can understand where you are coming from, I was let down as well...not so much of the things you are opinionating about. What you are asking will require root It is impossible to change dialers and such without a root. Even with root, will be hard to do unless you are running themer found on CM/AOkP and things of that nature.
I personally expected better themes...I knew themer limitation, just didn't think it will be so limited in themes. But hey, it is just beta
im actually looking forward to the time when "My Colorscreen" type themes are available on Themer. Currently everything is a bit simple - not really my taste. I check new themes every few days and a bit underwhelmed.
Again - it is a beta.

I totally agree
themer actually is good for those looking for laucher with simplicity in mind. I do enjoyed changing the themes everyday if i feel bored. The customization options have been added from times to time. Since this is BETA, it will changes periodically. Nothing much should you expected from the BETA release. If it's doesn't suit you then go for others final release
I see that there's some fighting here... I'll tell my opinion about Themer then hehe...
It's just another launcher? Yes it is! However it's an innovative, yet simple, launcher, which requires you one click to have a completely reborn homescreen. I downloaded it with higher expectations, so indeed I got disappointed, but I believe with more time more themes will come and one will really attend my necessities. Also I really like to customize my things, so using Themer limited it, as I wasn't able to change anything after installed the theme, all I could do was select a new one.
I have a fully customized 5 screen HS on my S4 using NOVA, why did I do this? Simple: I enjoy doing this. Although I know that there are many people out there who says Android is difficult to use/manage, what I saw is that most of them get "scared" of the homescreen, Themer is a great option for those people, click here and there, done it's simple and the way I can use without any problems .
I still see a WIP though, I am not following it too much to tell further, but I imagine it's not complete, one thing that made me stop using a theme that I liked (other than I preferring my current NOVA customization) was that when you try sliding to the extreme while on the last page will happen just like a normal launcher, the same with the app drawer, it's not customized like it is in the homescreen. I used plenty themes, they were all beautifully designed, but this app drawer thing got me in my nerves , sure, I have the same app drawer in my NOVA Launcher, but I customized my homescreen in a way that it still fits!
My 2¢ to this discussion...
And @predatorftp I'll speak again what everyone already said: What you're wanting requires root access and I think the developer isn't interested in losing a huge part of it's users because of it. Maybe someday they can add a special root feature, but for now I believe they are still busy with the developing of app basis.
tl;dr:
Pros:
Simple and beautiful, anyone can use.
Cons:
Limited functionality, themes "half-baked".
Opinion:
I prefer customizing, so I go for customizable launcher for sure.
The app description on Google clearly states what the app is...

Not for me. Nova on my Padfone X doesn't handle the interface change well. Right now the stock launcher is the only one that works well with and without the tablet dock. Now if you managed to find a version of Nova that supports DPI changes while running, I would love to try it. Sadly our phone is not very popular in the Dev community, so I don't think we will see much support for launchers, roms, or much of anything. I am a little disappointed. If we can get Cyanogenmod support, it would draw enough interest and we might see a lot of cool things, but again, I don't see that happening. I hope I am proven wrong.

I hope you're wrong too. & I wish I knew how to help you be wrong. It would probably take me a while to learn how to be a developer.
I to have went back to stock launcher.not that it was really that terrible. I mean if it takes a minute to go from phone to tablet it's not the worst thing ever, to me.
I had mart luck with solo and apex then I did with nova. Go launcher seem to work pretty good too

I brought up Cyanogenmod, because in order for it to have official or unofficial support, Trebuchet launcher has to work, as well as most to the stock apps packaged with CM. Many users around here choose devices based on ROM availability, with CM being the most popular. A good number of people that use CM like customization, others like modding. Either way, it would actually increase sales for the device and lead to more ROM development. When enough Roms appear, the demand for support for third party apps increases. Basically, CM support means one custom launcher works, providing open source code for the launcher for use in others. It would be the best thing to happen for the Padfone X.
For now, I use custom launchers on my phone and switch back to the Asus Launcher before I switch to the Tablet UI. Google Now Launcher has been my favorite lately, but I have also tried early versions of CM11's Trebuchet.

Not for me. Nova on my Padfone X doesn't handle the interface change well. Right now the stock launcher is the only one that works well with and without the tablet dock. Now if you managed to find a version of Nova that supports DPI changes while running, I would love to try it. Sadly our phone is not very popular in the Dev community, so I don't think we will see much support for launchers, roms, or much of anything. I am a little disappointed. If we can get Cyanogenmod support, it would draw enough interest and we might see a lot of cool things, but again, I don't see that happening. I hope I am proven wrong.

Sorry to hear that, i certainly did not want to mislead anyone.
You guys know that there is a specific app called Asus home launcher switch that will give any launcher the dynamic display transitions that the home launcher provides

is Padfone X upgraded to 4.4.2?
to see some development here, we need to have entire system dump, without that, you won't see anything here. so someone needs to get entire system/firmware release here...
it's not always how pupular device is, it also depends if system dump available or not also make diffrences for developers to jump in, i hope this is making sense to all?
ADW LauncherEX is working fine for me.
The only things to report are :
Icon added to homescreen when docked missing when undocked. Added icon, then docked again and it was there twice.
Wallpaper chooser crashes, but still applies wallpaper.
Battery widget not playing nice
None of those are serious enough to make me change away from ADW , my favorite launcher.
