Widget locker has the absolute best ICS lockscreen I've seen. Highly recommend it.

What do yu have to have for it to work? Only ICS? I thought I saw a complete theme that had it for GB, but I could have been mistaken... oh well, TW doesn't hurt my feelings at all.

I am in the exact same boat, down to the ROM and everything. I love everything about CleanGB except I'd like to have more lockscreen functions (especially camera!).
Widgetlocker is great because you can customize it down to the last inch, but I didn't like the idle resource and battery drain. Same with the Magic Locker ICS theme (which is great because it has calls and SMS notification counts built in, and it's free). But both are simply apps that float on top.
Until there's an ICS style lock that I can zip into, I guess I'll go back to the stock touchwiz. Thanks Kenny.

Widgetlocker uses 5-6mb of ram and does not affect performance or battery. That's less ram than swype and just barely more than vvm.

May have to try out the widgetlocker, but would rather have a straightup lockscreen. I don't understand why it couldn't be ported over, though.

Ics contains a whole other framework. Have you ever used ICS? It is completely different than gingerbread...

Yes I have used it. Have 2 nexus s phones as well. That is why I liked the lockscreen so much. I really want ics on the epic, but I know that is gunna be a while.

To be fair, it could be ported, and rewritten for GB. A lot of work, yes. Possible, yes. Likely, no. Not unless the tsm mod has it next time maddoggin ports it again lol.

Aha. I found out why it seemed to be draining the battery faster. I've been using juice defender to cut 3G when the screen is off. The problem is that JD won't recognize these apps as a true screenlock, so it doesn't turn off 3G.
I recently bought tasker so I'll try learning how to use that for controlling connectivity instead.

I hear tasker> jd. In fact I hear all around jd is junk. Even used it myself once and it definitely did nothing to help.

Love how everybody keeps saying that... works great for me! Guess its just one of thsoe ymmv things... I only use it cuz I forget to cut off my data when not using it...

I'm happy with my setup your happy with yours. It's all good.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Well, JD worked well enough for me to notice a drastic difference in my battery idle. With the JD inactivated and 3G hooked up, I would drain 4-5% per hour at idle. Cutting idle 3G made for a much nicer 1% per hour.
Tasker is much more controllable. Now I have it set up so that only apps that require data turn on 3G when activated. This is great because JD only toggled connectivity with the screen status. Now I can use the camera, text, or play games without 3G turning on at all. There is a 2 second lag for switching on 3G that I usually have to refresh for, but the kill speed after exiting is instantaneous. Great program.
Don't mean to hijack, I know this is moving away from the OP's (and my) question. Let's hear it for a baked-in ICS lock coming soon!

Epic 2.2 and touchwiz...

Hey all just had a quick question about the latest update. I used to have an epic awhile back when they was on 2.1 and noticed that we had a very dumbed down version of touchwiz.
So my question is with the latest os did they update the epic touchwiz to full like the vibrant and etc...
Reason I ask is I just bought an epic because I use my phone for gaming a lot and my evo is lag city on most new games with it's current gpu...
Thanks everybody in advance!

There was not a lot of changes in Touchwiz with the Froyo 2.2 upgrade other than the ability to order applications anyway you want on the Apllications pages. Plus adding a sort function and swapping out of docked applications.

And the ui changed. Ued to be light blue popups, now they are that nice dark blue. Some notification icons changed. All the icons for stock apps(messaging, email, etc) now have the correct touchwiz equivelant, instead of the android default. We got the touchwiz music player now, with notification controls. Unfortunately, the lockscreen did not change at all. The touchwiz home app now has pinch-to-zoom previews, and can have 1-7 screens. We also have the touchwiz messaging app, with blue and yellow chat bubbles. I think that covers everything.
Will edit if i remember anything.

[Q] Interest in a Senseless ROM?

Hi guys! I've had an Evo for a while and I was just wondering whether anyone would be interested in a senseless ROM. I run it on my own phone but I have never shared it. Just leave me some feedback please!
Not trying to burst bubbles or anything, but there are already some senseless roms here. Share if ya want, though. Thanks. Good luck.

running MikG v.3.11/ ICS themed with the badass Underworld kernel.
Probably 75% of the people in this forum are running AOSP instead of Sense.
I prefer senseless over aosp. What is the base?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
The base is Stock Swag and it includes the stock gingerbread launcher with SMS instead of browser. I could make an Xperia version including the Sony Sound tweaks and launcher.
throw it up on the wire and let's see it. we can always use more choice.

gingerbread or ics??? whats the difference

ive tried every ics rom and i dont like them.... i just feel gingerbread is better..but can anyone explain the difference between them? and what do u like better.."AND IM NOT SAYING THE ICS ROMS ARE BAD" i just prefer gingerbread thats all...
Nothing really just ui changes transitions **** like that other than that I like you agree gb right now is better but wait till these devs get kernel source that's when the magic happens

As of right now I agree with you.... GB roms run way faster and smoother in compared to ics. I do however like some of the options you have with ics...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
well the reason you prolly like gb is because its official ics roms are based off leaks they are leaks for a reason still not quite ready =(
for me, it's also about the app versions...
gmail on ics... love it.
gtalk on ics, multiple logins... love it.
and ics itself? the differences are not obvious, in some ways...
swipe to remove notifications...
system settings...
the app drawer w/ widgets...
the stock browser. man oh man. whata improvement.
at first, i didn't think much of them, until forced to flash back to gb for a day. then i realized the subtle things i was missing.

Definitely subtle changes!!! I didn't notice much upgrading, been using aokp on the galaxy s. But when I got this phone and just ran gingerbread that's when I noticed it. I'm missing a lot of features of it like silly faces on the video cam, tablet like widgets and definitely the browser that's able to save sites for offline reading.

ROM Toolbox Pro

I have had rom toolbox pro for awhile and with my evo 3d it never worked to change status bar icons (battery etc). I was hoping today that it would work on the s3 but still no luck. Am I possibly doing something wrong or is that a known issue? And if it is a known issue what the heck does that feature of the app work on???
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I've emailed the dev a few months ago on this and he said he'd look into it. I think he gave me the run-around.
Damn. That sucks. I was pretty pumped when I remembered I had bought the app and maybe I could finally use it. Thanks anyway dude.

Problem is, a lot of ROM toolbox replaces images based on names. There's a lot of redundant images in the touch wiz framework (they add their own images and keep the aosp ones.). This means that ROM toolbox will replace the aosp, which arent the ones in use, so it makes ROM toolbox obsolete. Also, for the battery images, ROM toolbox has 100 different images for the battery packs, it's that it doesn't have 100 images for the charging also, so you'll see your battery icon change shape while you charge.

So ADW Launcher finally updated

way back in the days of GB, adw was at the top, but lost its top spot due to lack of updates. But now its updated and i have to say, im impressed. Its not as smooth as nova yet, but i bet that will change in a future update since this is its first major release in forever (plus, if you install v6 supercharger script the lag dissapears). But its performance is so good i can defiantly use this over nova. I particularly like its widget picker, its different in a good way.They have an action bar feature thats new (to me anyway, dont know if theres something like it on other launchers). And theres also a resize screen option thats also neat, especially if your running paranoid android.
Unfortunatly i already found a bug. The dock dissapears into thin air at some point, and the only way to get it back is to reset adw settings. Im still investigating which option causes this bug, but i just thought i would put that out there.
Im also interested in knowing is this update enough for old users to love adw again
I'll just leave this here...

Hey cool, I was always torn between adw ex and launcher pro plus (LPP was a just a bit little smoother) before I got on ICS. Judging from the comments in the play store, it looks like the update ticked a lot of people off and is somewhat buggy, but I'm sure the bugs will get ironed out promptly. Good to see it's not dead

yea it is buggy. the app drawer is a big laggy with any transition and the dock bar likes to vanish, but i still find it useable and i love it. I havent gotten the chance to install v6 supercharger script to see if it helps with the drawer lag (i assume it will, since it did wonders to adw on ics). And im sure it will be updated regularly now, at least i hope it does.
Got the update this morning. Bought EX version a while ago. Tried it and yeah, new version is a little buggy. Hopefully they'll get it right.
I was using it on GB and JB builds up to FI03 then it got goofy. Had to switch to Nova.
Hopefully they can get it working right.

To fix the disappearing dock just simply go into settings and disable the secondary dock or its called hidden dock I think... then you'll be good to go..however u make it disappear is beyond me but I remember having this issue in the evo
I don't see options for he second dock..installed do like it.. but
Don't see the option

Was my launcher of choice on GB and below. When ICS launchers came out I started using those but they never allowed me the amount of customization I wanted, not until recently have they finally caught up.
Now that ADW is back, it is my main launcher again. It allows me so much customization and since I change screens and setups alot it's perfect for me.
It's very buggy. Since the update my widgets keep disappearing at random times, and my settings revert back. It's frustrating.
