If you dont like stock lock screen....Ripple it.....

Just installed 'Ripple lock' from markey(free). I know there is widgetlocker, and some/a lot of people prefer it. This is just another choice.
Gives a honeycombish lock screen, with choice of background/pic from your gallery.

Apparently the free version has ads displayed on the lockscreen.
If you use AdFree, you don't see them.

I cant be 100% sure if its related but after installing i found it wasnt for me, uninstalled and now my phone 'transistions' seem slower than before. For example opening contacts or whatsapp, the time it takes to open and fill the screen is slightly longer however my app draw still opens super fast as normal so i suspect its a setting somewhere. If anyone can help....?

Just incase anyone else experiances slow transistions or anything like that, i found that using nitrality from the app store, its a free app but you do require root, but its possible to control the speed of the transistions and effects....

You havent used it much then. It does not work great.
I use it and I like it but the truth is that it is full of bugs.
bugs
a) If you let the phone sleep you will have to unlock twice. First the samsung lockscreen and then the ripple lock screen. -this cant be reproduced always or I havent found the exact bug.
b) After making a call, I need to unlock ripple and then end the call.

He has made a couple of updates since. Which seems to have made a difference. Still alternating between this and livelocker though.

Just doesnt seem to be a 100% replacement yet. For some reason I don't get on with widget locker either.

I hope someday some devs here will port the Sensation lockscreen with its weather animation, I don't think it's very difficult, weather can be linked to stock weather instead of Rosie.
Widgetlocker is good but doesn't speed up the phone waking, I think we will have to wait for CM7 or MIUI

Landscape Start screen

I am wondering if any developer would like to make a landscape start screen. What this means is I can turn my phone to landscape mode and the start screen changes to landscape. I think that would be a cool feature if possible this could be implemented in some way.

If you mean home page = the home screen then answer would be probably no because the api won't allow you. I could happily be wrong!

it will be like 2 tiles and lots of empty space on the right side of your screen...
why would u want that??

Huh?
I think what the OP is asking for would look something like this (very quick) mock-up:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Of course it will never happen, but it would be very nice if it did.

yah that is what i am looking for. This couldnt be possible even with a special skin or custom rom. Android people have some pretty radical customs roms(i know it is open source) just wondering why that couldnt be done with windows phone.

Well for one, performance reasons. I remember when I had the Android G1 switching between landscape and portrait lagged as I had to wait for the system to be responsive again after opening the keyboard on the homescreen.
Most windows phones are candybars. Only 2 generation 1 models have slide out keyboards
The OS is designed primarily around portrait use. If you were to make the homescreen landscape it would present some design inconsistencies.
It is not necessary. Using the homescreen in landscape mode provides no tangible benefit over portrait mode and could be annoying when lying in bed etc.

well see when i am using my phone in landscape mode, it gets annoying for the screen to go back to portrait so this is why i am wondering if this is possible. There are some phone that can go into portrat mode and dont have a qwerty(non windows phones)

The quick mock-up looks like Windows 8.

yah it looks good but i dont know if it will happen

Nice mockup!

I too am pining for lanscape start, hubs, index search
is there a registry edit maybe in order to add this functionality when I dock my Titan?
I have been using the dock for my Titan a lot lately and wish the start screen would rotate to landscape when I dock or the tiles themselves could simply stay in portrait just rotate accordingly when I dock because the screen is now a landscape position sure there will be a huge black bar off to the right but that's fine and for the hubs and index search too.
there has be some type of edit to change the system into rotating start screen?

Sorry but I think that is impossible, Windows Phone 7 is really closed about the homescreen and mofidications

maybe the app "htc dock mode" could be something for you

Maybe in windows phone it a landscape start screen could come alive

[Q] Google earth control

Ok, this may be a totally dumb question, but how the hell do I control/interact with Google Earth on my Nexus (4.0.2). I cannot seem to get it to tilt and pan etc using touch. I see no other icons or menus with control options? Am I missing something simple?

Uninstall and redownload.
Terminators run on Android

Ok. I'll try that. but this was the pre-installed Earth that came on my phone. Not sure I can uninstall. will try though. It's updated itself since I got the phone so should have the latest version, but will try. thanks

Ok I uninstalled the updates to the app, but I cannot uninstall this "system app". So I disabled it, forced stop. Enabled it again and will now download updates to make it 6.1 again.
I'm not sure what I should be seeing when using this app. There are no controls.

Just go to market and search for your application on the menus, then press your app Earth and there will be an option to update.. That's what i've done.
Cheers!

I have the very latest google earth from the market. 6.1 something.
Here is a screenshot. Does this look right? how do I tilt the screen to get the 3d angle? all I can do is drag around, and rotate. I cannot tilt so I can see topography?
ARGH. Im sure its just me not knowing how to use it.
Screen shot - where are the tilt controls?

I too would like to learn how to tilt the view in Google Earth.
But I am bemused by the responses so far. Why is it necessary to uninstall and reinstall? Are you suggesting that the factory installation (with updates) is somehow broken?

Use two fingers to rotate/tilt.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Hold two fingers to the screen and instead of pinching, just slide both up or down to change viewing angle or rotate them in a circular motion around a centred point in order to spin.

I thought so, because the OP said other icons and controls were also missing. I also did not realize it was a system app (it was a Market app on my Fascinate and treated by my ROM as a user app)

How the hell did I not figure that out!! Never used multi-touch in that way before.
Thats great. Exactly the solution I needed. thank you.
I've been using touchscreen for 2 years, so I cannot be the first person not to figure that out. No hint on the app itself or help about how to do that.
anyway, cheers

Thanks to all from me too.

Google maps works the exact same way. If you go to maps and drag 2 fingers down you will get that "3d" view. It's cool. They must be trying to get some continuity from app to app.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Although I'd agree it's not massively obvious in the app, there's always Menu > Help. Which has this to say:
To tilt your screen, touch the Look-Around icon and ensure it's enabled. To tilt up, touch the screen and move down. To tilt down, touch the screen and move up.

Spotted the problem? The "Look Around" button doesn't seem to exist any more, so the help is out of date! Wonderful.
I can confirm the "two finger draggy-spin" method works fine though

I know the solution. This was happening to me too but i figured out. This is how to do it. Enable auto rotation open Google earth and tilt your device then hold two fingers and swipe downward or upward. I hope i helped so thank me. Ok!!!!!!

Could this be to do with the RUU from whatever carrier has got their filthy mits on our phones after HTC have produced them. Filling them with their branded bloat, and stripping some features perhaps?

I rooted an SG2 after I'm done the phone sticked to landscape Mode so what I did is went to display and calibrate screen it solved it so I still didn't get my one so donno if its an option there just a though wish I helped!

Nope, no option to recalibrate the screen. You can recalibrate the g sensors but that hasn't worked for me. I'm thinking it something wrong with my sense 4 as all my apps recognize landscape mode?

read a post stating that a factory reset may do the trick? Anyone tried it? Im just being lazy, I know, it just means setting up all my accounts and apps again!

I hope you guys realise that there is an auto rotate setting in the menu and that it is off by default.
Turn it on and you can use landscape on compatible apps.

...but (for me at least) not in Sense, which is where I need the autorotate to work. Yes, I am well aware the setting is there, and have set it. (There's also a widget for rotate.)

Sense was never supposed to work in landscape (on the homescreens). Which is what makes my situation weird. It was stuck on landscape, until I put on auto rotate and now its back on portrait.

You are a lucky man. I think you should post your system image in XDA, so that we can all have the same feature.

I dont consider it lucky lmao. It was stuck, I couldnt put it in portrait at all. And all the apps opened in landscape also.
And i dont know how to even do that

Took some pics of it. Wow its weird. The phone app in landscape shows my entire phonebook on the left side.

If that's true (this is my first Sense device), then that's just another reason Sense needs to go. This has to be the least endearing overlay to an OS that I've ever seen; I've got a dozen or more annoyances with it already beyond it just wasting processor cycles and memory on pointless gloss, and I've yet to find a single worthwhile feature (except the camera app, but there's absolutely no reason that needs to be tied to Sense, and even it has a flaw in that there's no option to focus with press, then take the photo with release, making it difficult to prefocus one-handed).
HTC, you need to stick to hardware and leave the software to the pros.

Jelly Bean Multi-Touch issues

Idk if its just me who has this, or notices it. I have tried multiple job ROMs and I run in to this problem.
Multi-Touch is bad in alot of apps. If you put two fingers on the screen, take one finger off, and put it back on, both touches will cancel out.
Ex. In the browser you have pinch to zoom. Put 2 fingers on, start to pinch. Do that. Remove one finger, put it back on, and you can do it till your take both fingers off. I noticed this is apps like Gmail and game apps all over.
Any one else have this?

Yes. Multi-Touch works. I tested it use a dev app or whatever it was called. But there's a weird bug that stops it.

If you are having PARANOID Android rom - Go to your PA settings, select Interface and select the slider from the "User apps default size" and drag it to the right (240 dpi). Reboot and try again. IT happened to me too with a game but I had set 200 dpi for all my apps and i got this issue.

3. Release second or first finger. O/p- 1
4. Tap d same agn. O/p- 1 (should show 2 rather than 1)
this happens especially after you have unlocked ur phone. If u can't produce this error, juz lock n unlock screen n try it agn. N let m knw..?
