Hi All!
I recently sold my S2 to a friend who is coming from a broken iPhone 4.
He had his iPhone 4 jailbreak'd, and he requires the following tweaks in the "android" world:
iPhone 4 Tweak:
SpringFlash - a tweak that allows an assignment of a gesture or physical button to activate the iPhone's camera's flash as a flashlight - in his case, he would press down iPhone's power button and the flashlight will turn on/off. Now, for his Galaxy S2, he currently installed Market (Google Play) App- a flashlight widget , however, he wants to know if he can assign a gesture or physical button to activate that on his android phone ?
InfiniteDock - a tweak that allows dock icons, to infinitely scroll left or right, adding applications/folders - on the S2, he has the stock icons (phone, message, e-mail and internet -- or whatever he assigns too) ... now, I was looking into some launchers ... Launcher Pro, Go Launcher ... which one would you guys recommend ?
Just as an FYI, he currently has CheckROM V4 installed, I believe that is at Android version 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 - - CheckROM is now updated to V6, but I still think it is still Gingerbread based build, correct me if I am wrong.
He is thinking about going to either Lightn' Rom (which the latest is based on Android 4.0.4) or the CheckROM V6 ... Please advice which ROM and tweaks he should go for that incorporates the iPhone tweaks he is looking for ...
Thanks!
Install any custom launcher like go launcher, adw launcher.(launcher pro is outdated)
1. use the swype gestures to turn on torch
2.same launcher has option to infinite scrolling in dock
do post the question in Q & A section next time
Thanks...
Thanks, I'll look into it.
the resurrection remix (currently at 1.7) allows you to set up 'long press power while on the lockscreen' and get a flashlight
and most launchers can use scrolling docks - im using a program called simifolder widget - it gives iphone style folders anywhere, so setup about 20 apps for a folder and in the dock bar click it and get a nice scrollable popup
use apex launcher pro it has swipe gestures

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you would have read the OP carefully you would find out that his friend is running gingerbread and he can't install Apex.
He can also add some toggles to the notification bar if he don't have them.

Thanks again...
Hi Again,
I actually helped him upgrade to 4.0.4 (custom OMEGA rom).
We are using APEX launcher, and he is fairly happy with it. Prior to reading the forum, I didn't know about the remix ROM able to have the delay-touch gesture of the power button...I was wondering if that is available on the OMEGA ROM - Black Blue ICS Theme v11.1 or v11.2 (something).
Thanks!
P.S. what is the technical term behind the resurrection remix's rom feature - "set up long press power while on the lockscreen" function? is it common among android custom-based ROMs?
I find the new ICS recent app-style is quite laggy. Is there a way or can anybody make a MOD to get the old and fast gingerbread-style back?
I think that cannot be that difficult.
DEVELOPERS, HELP!
It's still there, some Xperia T statusbar mods had it when you clicked the recent app icon, but the home button behaved like in ICS. I don't know a way how to enable it with the home button.
You're posting in the wrong section though.
Please post questions in the stuck Q&A section. Thanks!
Hi,
I´m using Hairybean 2.2 RC1 and JB 4.2 launcher. It seems really good but with couple questions concerning the new notification bar.
The upper bar, where notifications and quicksettings are, hides with some apps. Eg. MX-player and games. I cant open them without going to previous apps selection or home.
Is this a more of an apps developers problem or just an feature in the new launcher? Or could it be a problem in ROM?
I haven´t tried any other ROMs cause, I have a replacement digitizer which inverts the X-axis. With Hairybean I can use that invertaxis.zip kernell.
And big thanks to flumpster for that!
I´ve tried to search the forums for any comments on this matter but could not find any.
I do like the new notification bars, so I would prefer to keep them. Don´t wanna go back to the old 4.1 launcher. Although the movement of the back/home/recent apps- buttons to the center wasn´t so good improvement.
Thanks for any comments. My first post. :victory:
First of all I just want to say that I'm a newbie at the whole
Root and Custom Rom scene. So please don't judge me for
asking a newbie question.
I rooted and installed AOKP 4.3.1 on my GT-i9300 yesterday.
I'm really loving all the customization options and root access.
But I bumped in sort of an issue. I changed the wallpaper to a picture
I've taken a while back. The wallpaper keeps scrolling from left to right
and vice versa. Is there a way to disable this wallpaper scrolling so that
I can have a wallpaper thats the same on all homescreens? I've looked
in all the customization options but can't seem to find it. Maybe I'm
overlooking, but can someone please tell me if there's a way?
Got another quick question. How do I change the number of homescreens?
Thanks for your replies!

Hello!
I'm noob in these kind of things (root, flashing...),
I would like to know if there's a way to cook the last available stock SGS2 ROM (4.1.2) and add some Nexus and LG G2/3 tweaks?
The tweaks are:
- Old TV lockscreen effect (Nexus/LG2/LG3...)
- Horizontal Scrollable wallpaper (like it was before on SGS2)
- Tap twice to wake up the screen (LG2/LG3)
- Tap twice to turn off/lock the screen (LG2/LG3)
There, these are the tweaks that I really would enjoy on my SGS2.
If, by any chance, there's a way to cook a Stock Samsung ROM with these features, it would be awesome.
cheers.
