Hello XDA,
I was just curious if there are any good locker apps out there at I can have a free version that isn't extremely buggy. I have tried HI locker- horrible in my opinion it lags like no tomorrow. The next locker was okay I really liked the flashlight feature but my text notifications weren't showing up on time. Please help. Thanks ya'll.
+1 I'm also interested to know the opinions
AppLock and Norton Lock app are good options you can also use explorer built-in options to lock files

Hello Everyone,
Does the Weather Toggle Widget work properly for anyone on the Dell Streak? I tried this on 1.6 and now again on 2.1 but it always looks messed up. The clock looks great but the weather is always compressed and cut-off on the side. I have tried different skins but always the same result. I really like this application and just want to get it working.
Check the screen capture to see what I mean.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
PS. I did send a support email to the creator as well so I hope to hear from him eventually.
[FIXED using ADW LAUNCHER (Free) in Market Place]
I was informed that ADW Launcher allows many customizations, including widget sizes. I use this as my home scren now and couldn't be happier having total control over my widgets.
Yes mine was cut off and it is cut off on Beautiful widget

What widget r u using?
I use beautiful home screen, and had a time issue when i flashed to 2.1 in that the time wouldn't change.
Sent and emial off to creator and got a reply very quickly saying to exclude it in task killer and it now works.
Only problem i have now is that the minutes section is over lapping on the right, not a big deal but still an issue.
Have to say tho the beautiful home live weather wallpaper is amazing.
Yeah i tried it too and it wouldn't line up correctly so i had to ditch it.

Ditto, and worth the price.
You can put widgets on the lock screen, multiple sliders for different functions, and a separate wallpaper. Heck, I even have my LastFM widget there for easy access without unlocking and my camera for the same reason.
I was looking for something similar, i was missing the mail addon for lockinfo, but i settled for widget locker + executive assistant. i think it's the best combination. though still not entirely like lockinfo (i'd like to be able to mark emails as read without accessing gmail app).
Im playing with executive assistant and am really liking it.
Thank you all..
Another vote for executive assitant. It's really good once you understand all the settings.
There are some nice apps out there that do these things and Widget Locker is ok, however coming from the iPhone myself and having used intelliscreen, widget locker is lacking in comparison. There is an app however that is almost identical to intelliscreen and I thing in some ways even better, its Executive Assistant. There are 2 versions a free version with ads, and the pay version. I liked the app so much I payed for it, but I think if you give this a try you wont be disappointed its really sweet!!
I've been looking for something similar to this as well! I'll have to try executive assistant out...
Don't know if anyone will see this, but I found executive assistant in my search for an intelliscreen replacement. I don't know if it fully does it for me though. The marking as read thing is killing me. What are the settings you suggest to make it good? Also anyone miss tlert?

Nothing lacks in comparison to the Iphone or any app on the Iphone for that matter.
Is there anything out for ICS like this?
Still Widget Locker. Runs great on ICS Passion.

Clearly, you never owned a jailbroken iPhone with lockinfo on it if you are making that statement. Several things are lacking in Android such as:
- Mail Enhancer
- Color mail labels
- and LockInfo.
While some alternatives come close, they are not good enough.
hello all
iam looking for application doing same what "ADW Notifier" do, Adding notification bubble up of an application icon has to notify you for incoming event such ( SMS,missed call, email, nimbuzz chat... or any application you per-defined) "look how "Chuck Norriz Mode" working in ADW Notifier.
also need it work with any launcher since ADW one working only with adw launcher .
hope iam understandable and will get help from you guys.
thanks
I was just thinking about the same thing. I would love something like this. Maybe there's even a Tasker solution. The only part I don't know about is how to get the "bubble" on the icon.

I haven't found a universal one but there is a similar app available for GO Launcher EX here
or another option is this live wallpaper I used previously called Notification Bubbles

i know there is a lot of alternative solutions, but all of them arrest you in there application. the one with Go launcher need you to use Go launcher only. the notification bubbles using all the screen with addition moving bubbles which you don't need sometimes. all what iam looking for is notification counter marriaged with the application shortcut icon use whatever the launcher be.

No problem, by the way you can turn off the additional bubbles. Then the only time you have them on the screen is when theres a notification ... not as much strain on the battery this way.
Good luck with your search
I have a love hate thing going on with Blur, even the remnants we see in Gingerbread, and have found that the only reason for my continuing to use it is down to the Social Networking widget.
This makes me sound like some kinda facebook and Twitter junkie which I am not really but I do find it handy not to have any notifications and to check out those social sites as and when I want to. The fact I can get the information on one application is handy as well rather than have to log into both apps individually.
So my question....is there a all in one, well facebook and Twitter anyway, widget that does a similar job to the Social Networking widget in Blur ?
Have looked through the Market and nothing leaps out at me.
I used to use Colorized Widget
the only gripe with that is 1) it doesn't work with Launcher Pro
2) I believe to get twitter and fb on one widget you have to get the paid app?
Another is Pure Messenger Widget it's a paid app again.. but it does both
Last, is Launcher Pro Plus. it's launcher alternative.. which has those functions built in. again it's a paid app

yeah LP already comes with widgets. i dont use launcher pro, i would if it were as smooth and had as much options as ADW EX. colerized widgets is nice though, there are another set called ADP widgets i think
Pure Messenger is awesome but its not battery friendly.
Android Pro Widgets and if you use GO Launcher there is an add on for it.

Many thanks for the suggestions.
Seems as though Blur did come up with one good idea for me at least !
I have tried CM7 and other de-blurred ROM's but that little widget is so handy.

It's alright.. the theme of it isn't that appealing to me imo but its functions were great.
I am currently an iphone 4s user that is tired of ios and its limitations. I am interested in switching to android. One thing that I would really love to have on my phone is a functional to-do list on my lockscreen that I could see every time that I look at my phone. Is this possible on android and do you have any recommendations any apps that can do this? Thank you.

U can use Widget Locker and took some todo widget on ur lockscreen.
You can look at Astrid, Any.Do, Taskos etc for todo widget.
And simply way u can choose this option as well using Simply Lockscreen
Here u can get:
- Simply Lockscreen: link
- Astrid link
- Taskos link
- Widget Locker link
I am usin the setup below..
I have Any.Do as my default task application.. I have replaced my lockscreen with the DashClok widget.. Any.do has a dash clock extension which can show your tasks right in the main lock screen.. Or you can create one more page in the lock screen and use the Any.Do widget directly there..
Thank you for your replies. I can't wait to get an android phone. Ios users could only dream of having this type of functionality. amith007, is there any way you could please show me what the any.do dashclock widget looks on your lockscreen? I tried looking for screen shots of what that would look like but I couldn't find any. Thanks.
Thanks.
PM me if u need help

In the first picture you can see that the Any.do icon showing the task pending task count.. and when i simply expand the widget, it will show the first task there itself.. and you can click there to open the Any.do app directly..
Thank you, very cool but a little too subtle for me. What jungjawa suggested is more in your face. Thank you all for your recommendations. Android really is the best option for me.
