I am running Myn's Warm 2.2, and I can't tell if this is a ROM issue or what, but when I run widgetlocker, I have a custom slider going to my SMS inbox. I dont use the default messaging app, I use handcent/go sms, but whenever I use widgetlocker to the sms inbox, it automatically opens the default app, and gives no options for the other one's.
Any ideas of what to do?
P.S. I also edited some of the .png's, dont know if that could be the issue?
Wow...2 days and no response...have you made your new messaging app the default in the system?

Is it possible the SMS slider is pointing to the "Messages" app inbox specifically? In contrast to pointing to the system default value for your assigned SMS app?
I think it may be, because the only way to get it to slide to the app i want without using the ugly shortcut of the app itself is to delete the mms.apk. But go sms doesnt show notifications w/o the stock apk. Is there a way to change it to point to the system default? I get nbo option to make an app the default through widgetlocker?
Thanks for finally responding and trying to help guys
how do I make an app the default in the system?
I sent an email to the dev, and linked him to this thread, so maybe he will post the answer here. If not, i will, just in case this issue shows up in the future.
Android's handling of the app defaults is awkward, hence the various apps on the market (including my HomeSmack) to help switching between default Home programs.
The only way to set a default app as of 2.2 is to launch it in a generic way* when there is no default set. Then you'll get the list with the checkbox to set it as a default.
So really what you need to do is clear the default, then slide the SMS slider in WidgetLocker. You should be able to clear the default by:
System Settings > Applications > All Applications > Messaging (Or whatever current default app is) > Scroll down and click Clear Defaults.
Note, you want the Clear Defaults button, not the Clear Data button.
However some vendors might set their app at a higher priority making it impossible to change the default.
The coming update for WidgetLocker will allow you to select an app shortcut and then independently change the icon. Either to your own, or one of the WidgetLocker built in slider icons.
*For the curious:
Code:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

Has anyone ever told you they love you? Cause I do....awesome app too!
Sent from God, who uses CM7 RC1.
I love you so much lol.
So is there a way to use that last part so I can direct the slider myself or should I just wait it (i hope short) out?
Thanks so much again for responding

I'm running 2.0 and the functionality is indeed there. However I would just recommend deleting the slider off and then re-adding it and using a shortcut. Don't know if that helps, as I highly doubt that it will show the number of unread messages.
Hey Kevin I love the app but I keep having a few problems maybe you can help.
I'm on CM7 nightly #5 and widgetlocker slows it down significantly. I also keep running into the problem of all my Widgets disappearing randomly and never coming back. The background is still there but its blank.
Love the app. Thanks

I'm also having the problem of Widgets dissappearing.... happens after upgrading to a new nightly or after a random reboot..... being able to backup settings would be very helpful.....

Off topic, but for what it's worth, I'm having terrific results with WL in combination with an app called "No Lock" which disables the stock lock screen. No Root necessary.
I am rooted though running SkyRaider and now Warm 2.2 with Sense 2.0. I was always having problems with WL locking up my screen when the cpu got going and I was turning my screen on and off a lot quickly. Lots of black screens and such but never any problems without WL. So I run "No Lock" and WL runs perfectly.
Off topic, but good info and testing none the less.
I am running myn 2.2 rls 5 and I have the browser text reflow disabled. I like having the text reflow disabled but I am experiencing another issue with the browser and I am not sure if it is related or not. The browser will automatically shift up or down or left or right on its own. It is really annoying when you go to select a link and the screen shifts on its own and you hit the wrong link. Does anyone know how to fix this?
How do you have the browser text reflow disabled? I'm running myn's Warm 2.2 as well, but I thought I read somewhere that downloading the stock fonts would take care of the issue you speak about. I did that and I don't have that browser shift issue anymore. I think downloading the stock fonts corrects the brower shift issue by enabling the text reflow. If there is a way to enable the reflow again without downloading the stock fonts then I would try that first. Please let me know.
Hello everybody!!
I have a question about setting the default browser on my Galaxy S III, Im currently using Dolphin Browser and I know about the option in the settings to make it the default browser. But when I use the default "Web" Icon on the homescreen it still opens the Browser that came with the phone. I tried downloading apps that "change" the default apps used but still opens the wrong one... I had gotten this to work for my other S III and Galaxy Note before i had to return it due to a dead pixel but ive had no luck in getting it working again... if anybody knows anything on how to get this set correctly i would greatly apprecaite it!!
Thanks in advanced!!

Tried Settings, App Maanger, All, Internet, Clear Defaults?
Yes I have tested that, but when I go to the Internet app it says that their is no default app set

Oh, wait. I think I misunderstood your question. You want the globe icon that says internet to open Dolphin? Not sure if that is very feasible.
That icon is like an icon on your computer (I.e. it is not a shortcut). That icon is specifically for the stock internet app.
But, it's probably possible. I would start a new thread about how to change icons of apps. I use Nova Launcher and I can rename icons, but not change the picture. But, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me know how.
It is possible I've done it before but I am not able to recall how I did it lol

Oh.
Well, if you don't figure it out, I found this today: http://android.appstorm.net/how-to/...guide-to-customizing-your-home-screen-icons/

DesktopVisualizer does exactly this!
Hi all,
Before I venture into getting Dolphin or some other browser, looking to see if there are a couple of things the stock browser can do. Is there no way to get a button to go to the homepage? I know you can make a bookmark and go that route but one click is better than two. Also, is there no easy way to actually shut down the browser so when opening it the next time it opens to the homepage? How about clearing history, etc. on browser closing sort of thing. Do other browser have these sorts of functions?
Thanks,
Ho'okani

I searched far and wide on the expansive Play Store with the home page issue. The closest you're going to get is Boat Browser (Play Store link). It has a customizable bar at the bottom, where you can place a home button.
You can have it "prompt on exit" where you can check "clear records" and "do not ask me again." It clears the history and will automatically start your home page when you open it again. Boat Browser FTW!

Dolphin browser has the option to put the home button on the address bar - as well as the basic cache clear menu on exit.

Quick question.... Chrome is not being 'remembered' as my default browser. So if I use for example Google's widget for internet favourites. Every time it requests me to select a browser. (Chrome or Samsung's stock browser). It never remembers the option even though I set chrome as default.... Anyone else having this issue. Anyway round this? Obviously if won't let me disable the stock browser.
HI Andy,
Did you ever figure this out?
