Lock Screen Brightness - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Hi guys, sorry if this is a noob question. The S3 is my first android phone. Had all Iphones before it:laugh:
I installed Apex Launcher Pro together with the Holo Lockscreen running stock rom.
Problem is, the Lockscreen brightness is lower than the homescreen brightness. I've searched for every possible setting with no luck.
Am I missing something?

No you don't missing anything, lockscreen brightnes is lower than Homescreen :silly:

Thanks for the reply. Any way I can change this? Would like if it could be the same brightness.

Lock Screen mod?

hi there, nobody posted any lock app thread yet so here it goes.
I tried Go unlock but i think it hogs the resources over time and become laggy.
anyone else can recommend a sturdy one to install?
or any good rooting mod for this to make it 100% smooth?

Try the MIUI lock screen. They made it free and available through Play Store. You have tons of styles, themes, and all you ever wanted from a lock screen..
thanks, tried MIUI just now.
It has the 3dot menu on the lock screen after setting lock screen.
so i suppose the 3dot menu mod will get rid of this.
still feel bit un-smooth with MIUI tho.
some reason the sense one is the best so far
Try this.

Does someone know a metro-style lockscreen that runs stable and hasn't got the 3dots menu enabled? I just tried a few but there was none that really worked. Unfortanetly, for I love the tiles' look alot.
Another question: is it possible to change the icons of apps on WidgetLocker? And is the 3dots menu disabled?

I run widget locker myself, lets you have all sorts of different unlockers as well as run widgets and separate wall paper, umoung other features, all on the lock screen.

Hello,
I use widgetlocker on my One X. Yes, you can change the icons af the apps. Also there is no "3dots menu".
When you install adwnotifier you also get notification-count numbers on the lockscreen like in the normal sense lockscreen (for telephone, SMS, Mail[GMail and K9]).
I like it very much and use it in combination with apex launcher on stock rom without root.
Only the sense3 lockscreen from widgetlocker is a little laggy at my phone.
Thank you. I've installed WidgetLocker now and I like it. One problem though: I've got some icons in .png format that work great with Apex Launcher. But if I try to add them in WidgetLocker, they'll get a black background instead of a transparent one. So, how can I use these icons?

Assistive light widget

Is there any way to replace the icon for this widget, or an app that will give me a widget with a similar function (instant back light)?
The default one is a huge ugly widget and I want a smaller or customisable widget to replace it with.
Cheers
The 15 toggles mod has a button for flashlight.

Tesla Led is best!

Tesla Led has a delay when turning it on. Rather than using a new light app, where can I get a custom widget for the stock light app?

same thing, I just tried tesla, and it does have a delay, the stock one is perfect, it's has instant response time, I used a launcher that allowed me to resize it to 1 square, but the text and lamp icon gets all weird... If I can remove the text and keep the lamp in the middle... this widget would be perfect...
So any idea how to change the icon for that widget?
Opposite...
I actually want the S3 assistive light because it doesn't block the camera like the 1000 other flashlight apps.

Did you ever find a solution? I also wish to use stock widget for its performance, yet it is big and ugly. Basically, I want a 1x1 widget for stock light.

Just use a different launcher (I use Nova personally, but I expect many others will offer the same functionality here), and use that to either resize, or replace the icon.
Another option is to use a ROM like (the fantastic) UltimaROM that has a flash-light option on the drop-down notification area.

Hello.
How do you change the icon from Assistive Light with Nova Launcher? I also use it but when I hold the widget to change the icon, like for the other apps, the AL doesn't have the opt to change icon.
Is there any other way?
All other widgets for the AL break the camera.

Where is the assistive light widget located? It's included on 4.1.x roms, but not on 4.2.2

I use a stock one 4.1.2 but on the Widget List, check under "Settings". It should have around 6 Widgets inside.

[Q] Configure an image as default wallpaper

I guys,
this should be a simple question, but I didn't found any answer....
How do I costumize a rom to have a certain image as the default wallpaper of the launcher?
It's always the blue smasung standard background...
The lock screen ones seem to be on the framework-res.apk...
But where do I configure the launcher to use an image as wallpaper, and which image?
I have a Samsung Galaxy tab 3 10.1 Wi-Fi (P5210)
Thanks for any help
Cheers
Do you mean other than long pressing on an empty space on the home screen?

I am sorry I do not have the answer, I am testing a rom with different launcher than stock, so I can not verify it now for you.

Do you mean for newly created users?
It probably very much depends on the rom and the launcher. For CyanogenMod, for example, if you create a new user they get the Trebuchet launcher and the default_wallpaper.jpg in framework-res.apk is the wallpaper used. Which rom and which launcher are you talking about?
Post #3, tips #10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326241
I suppose you must delete the touchwiz launcher.
You can find the wallpapers settings by this:settings display!

Lock screen brightness reduced

Hi all,
I've just found an awesome wallpaper that I wanted to use as my lockscreen background however I've noticed that once I set it the color/brightness is not the same - much darker.
I am using Nova Launcher but obviously need to set lockscreen wallpaper through touchwiz. Is there any way to adjust the brightness?
Thanks!

Homescreens

Another happy new Mix owner here. Given that the main feature of this phone is the bezel-less screen, this makes the home screen layout and wallpaper choice particularly significant to the overall effect.
I usually go for something dark but in this case I have gone for bright and minimalist to bring out the edges of the screen.
What are others doing?
Love the Clock, Is it part of a theme or standalone?
It's a zooper widget from King Rollo collection.

I'm using the icon pack Clix, you should find it on the playstore
Here's mine - Using TSF launcher, shame it no longer seems to be supported, but it's an awesome super smooth launcher with Elun icon pack. The clock is a TSF animated widget.

Some of my screens, using c locker for my lock screen and it has my personal info so not sharing that.
Wall paper is a live wallpaper I set up for water ripple effect.
Home bottom got cut off a bit when I took screen shot, it's should be full screen. And should be no notification bar on top also.
...i need a better way to snap screenshot
Hi,
here is my homescreen ... I am awaiting xiaomi code for root my device and setup some details with xposed...
Futuristic
it took some time but it works, took the screen shot but the notification bar should be hidden
I'm new to android modding (its been 2 tough years with a company phone being an iphone 6 and 6s+) can I use an icon pack without using the entire launcher? I like miui - I just hate that they round the icons and I have no idea how to turn that off without an icon pack
