[Q] MIUIWiz 1.1 Lockscreen Issues?

My phone reboots everytime I slide the MIUIWiz lockscreen down using the text icon (right most). Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how I can fix it?
You probably need to set the messaging app.
In the Settings menu, simply go to TSM Parts -> Lockscreen Settings -> Custom App, and choose the app and you should be good to go You don't have to assign it to a messaging app either; anything you could assign to a homescreen shortcut is possible.

Thanks for the reply! I couldn't get it to display any messaging app in the TSM. I get some apps listed, but not the GOSMS that came with the Rom. The phone slider, music, and lock/unlock work perfectly fine, it's just the messaging.

How do you change the default action when the Photon is plugged into the HD Station?

When plugging the Motorola Photon into the HD station, for now, I REALLY want to select Dismiss Picker and remember this selection so generally, it doesn't bother me again. However, I want to know that I can get the picker back if some day, I want to change the setting.
How do I clear this default should I chose to set it and have it remembered? I get that you can clear the default if you pick an app like Webtop. You can do it by way of managing applications / clearing defaults under settings for that particular app. But Dismiss Picker is not an app.
Any ideas?
Setting applications all. Scroll down to whatever is default now and click it then clear defaults.

In the second section of my question, I stated that I get that normally, you can go into settings and apps and change an app's default. But DISMISS PICKER is not an app.
Does anyone have any further information about this and how to get rid of dismiss picker as your default action when plugging the phone into the HD station?

I am pretty sure that you can drag the status bar down and choose from there. There is a notification that says connected to hd dock. click on that and you should be able to choose from there

[Q] Setting Defaults

Is there an easy way to set defaults on this device? I'm trying to set the particular default in an app to use LocalCast, but it seems the usual "Always" and "This time Only" options are missing. Is there another way to do this or are those settings particular to an app?

Calendar default reminder setting

Hi,
The built-in calendar app does not appear to have a default reminder setting. I have to manually add one for each new event. Am I missing something?
I tried Google calendar, which does have this option. However, the problem is that both apps will generate notification. How can I disable the one from built-in app?
Thanks
Looks like the built-in app can't be disabled and there is no option to add default reminder.
Work-around: use Google Calendar as default app but turn off notification (in setting -> General).

Unable to set default calendar app

I have installed Google Calendar and added a widget on the home screen
Each time I tapped on an event, it will ask me to choose which app to open it. I choose Google and set as default. But it never stick.

Thanks
