Someone mentioned this app a while back. Basically a lame version of what is to come with ICS. This works by unlocking certain apps with your face, not as a lock screen. So a work around for that obviously is setting it up to lock a custom launcher such as Go or that ugly iphone one.
My question is is there any way to make the twlauncher an actual listed app? It'll only let you select the apps in your app drawer. And obviously touchwiz launcher isn't there haha

If you buy the app you can use it as lockscreen unlock.

I sound crazy asking this but is there a way anyone could take the bottom quick action buttons off to where thre isn't anything there. No phone, messaging, internet, gmail icons. I bought this quick wave launcher from the market and it pretty much makes the bottom icons useless. Or is there a launcher that takes as many of them away.

ADW Launcher (maybe it's only an ADW.EX feature, but I really doubt it). There's an option somewhere in it that lets you cut it down to zero spaces and expand the desktop.
I use it I love it
Alternatively, you can set adw to hide the dock with a gesture, in case you want to keep the buttons but dont want to look at them

Thanks guys, I'm obviously a fan of webOS from palm. I'm going to give these a try. Id be happy with just the only thing showing is the app drawer icon.

ADW can do it.
Here's what I do:
I enable the hidden dock bar and have swipe-up bring it up. Then I disable the main dock so I have more desk space. Then I tie the home button to my app drawer. It works really well.
i was wondering if there was any way where you dont have to choose a separate lockscreen wallpaper than homescreen one.
im currently on stock and would like to stay on it.. not a huge fan of go locker... i just wondered if there was any other way to get the same wallpaper for both without having to set it twice... slight OCD issue lol ( i swear there was a way around it on the galaxy s 2)
Use Quickpic

Just set the wallpaper twice.
If it still keeps you up at night, a shrink will be more useful than a dev to fix the problem.
Oh forgot about that on stock
I thought there was an option in the lockscreen wallpaper to set it as homescreen one?
Sent from the cracked screen of my GALAXY Ace.
go to settings, then display, then wallpaper. select lockscreen and choose none. then your lockscreen paper will be the same as your desktop paper. when you change your desktop paper, lockscreen will match. hope this helps
No option to set same as homescreen one, maybe its because im on the i version :-/ mehh shall probably end up rooting it soon, never takes me too long before i do.. Cm7 possibly

there is NO setting to set the same pic for lockscreen and homescreen. all you need to do is select none for your lockscreen in the settings location I told you to go to. simple as that....
No thats what im saying i dont have the option to do.. It literally says wallpaper gallery or gallery.. Trust me if it said none then i would have clicked it straight away.. I just didnt know if there was another way around it but it sounds like not

Is there a way to change icons on a STOCK Sprint Galaxy S3? I'm not talking about the Lock Screen icons at the bottom, but I guess by default they would be included in this scenario.
For example, let's say I wanted to change the default Amazon store app to a simple "cardboard box" .png on my S3. Is there a way to do this without fear of breaking the app or losing data? I know I could do this on my Photon. Didn't it allow you to do this on the Stock Galaxy S2? Not sure.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. I love my S3, and wouldn't change it for the world. Just would be nice to do a tweak like this.I'm a tad OCD, but don't want to root my phone. I've done it before, but with Jelly Bean coming shortly - don't see the point. I want to keep as is.
Thanks again folks -

Just found an app yesterday actually called icon changer free and it works great
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Wow. This is great! I was using Desktop Visualizer which was pointed out to me today, and is another great application, but I like the GUI on this one better as it's more intuitive.
I just want to change the icon of an application already on screen, not have to recreate it. This app does that.
Thanks again bud.

Why does Google do such weird things all the time? I know other people have to think the same thing about why they design an OS the way they do. For instance clicking the clock in the status bar takes u to time settings instead of clock or calendar(when we all have auto time enabled)? And I'm pretty sure(at least I hope) its a bug, but the stupid new camera rotation is beyond dumb. And why they took the so much fun camera effects out, I may never know... I do love Google but just question their Dev team sometimes... sometimes a lot
But that is why we have these wonderful devs across the forums. I can't thank you guys/gals enough!!!!

I have to ask, why would you need to click on a clock to take you to another clock?

The slow camera rotation is intentional. The Android Dev team spoke about it. As for camera effects, I don't know how many people actually used them. Sure, Mac users seem to use them quite a bit, but I don't know about Android users.

Yea I meant alarms.. Lol. Or even clock app would be smart
Why on EARTH would u want camera lag when changing the phone orientation... Then u end up missing Ur shot!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The rotation lag doesn't bug me too much. It usually takes a second or less to rotate. I usually know what orientation I want my picture to be, so I'll press the camera app in that orientation.

Just lock rotation when you want to use your camera, if you are using a rom with toggle rotation it wont be that hard to press a toggle.
I personally always disabled rotation, and only enabled it when i want to use it.

Another thing that bothers me is app drawer. the black background is still stuck in the Gingerbread era.
If I lock rotation to to a pic in landscape its going to take the picture in portrait but I guess u could just rotate it in the gallery... But still useless as fuhk. I'd rather deal with the lag of swiping to my pictures than the actual camera itself... Come one Google... You're better than this... Back to 4.1 camera I am

IMO the black background is nice to quickly identify icons. U know u can always use third party launchers to change that..

I was looking at the screenlock app from the xda front page, and toyed with it a little, however, it made me wonder if anyone knows of, or can make an app that disables everything put the dialer?
I hate letting my kids use my phone because I never know what they are gonna snoop thru or if someone is going to send me something I wouldnt want them to see, it would be great to be able to lock out everything but the dialer in this type of situation... any thoughts?

You can use an app that locks out other apps. That way you can lock the apps you don't want your kids having access too, then disable SMS notifications and they will never read them or see them.
