I'm looking for a way to customize the Jelly Beans lockscreen to replace Google Now (the one on the "up" position on the slide ring) with the Phone app.
I've seen that some custom ROMs have this, but I'd rather not flash a custom ROM, I just want to flash a mod on top of stock 4.1.1.
I did search the forum, but couldn't find one.
Does anybody know of a good way to do this?
Thanks!
learn. diy. watch how rom devs implement those changes.

If you don't want to flash custom Rom, get this app called widget locker. Which is not only customizable, but also really functional!

Thank you for the tip. I looked into this Widget Locker app, and it seems to be great feature-wise. But according to reviews, it seems to have several issues on Jelly Beans (slow/lags, makes user unlock to take a call, high memory consumtion, among others).
Ideally, I'd like a modded JB lockscreen to flash on top of my stock JB 4.1.1. Since that is already implemented in several custom ROM's, I figured someone might have done a stand-alone lockscreen mod to flash just that.

I just installed Gingerbangvanilla 1.7 and I like it, but I was wondering if there was any way to customize the launcher, i.e. disable home screen looping, edit number of home screens, change lock screen. I came from the Fascinate and loved TSM on it but was hoping for "TSM Parts"
Go get ROM manager and tsm pool party is in there. Its a direct port from pool party on the fascinate if I'm not mistaken.

tsm parts is kind of straight forward to port to samsung touchwiz phones, but is insanely difficult (at least for me) to make work on a sense rom
i *think* i might be able to get the status bar tweaks working on it...but lockscreens are more difficult as samsung already allowed for multiple lockscreens by default in touchwiz (glass, puzzle) so it was a lot simpler (still insane)
but my focus was to make stable roms off the latest ota and add various tweaks as i could...and i think the results have been good so far

yes, poolparty is an aosp port by omj of sbrissen's version on the fascinate...if you want tsm parts on this phone thats the way to go (awesome rom!)
Right now I'm using MIUI and I'm loving it. You can get tons of different themes and lockscreens. And if you don't like the iPhone like launcher, download a different one like go launcher ex. My personal favorite. I'm using the stock MIUI launcher.

I love the stability of this ROM so I'll deal with the lockscreen and I installed GO Launcher EX. My main problem with AOSP ROMs is the mail app has a problem with Hotmail so this will work for now.

Any chance for a 3.0 style or a ripple lock(Honeycomb) style lockscreen Mod?? I love GingerbangVanilla either way.....

sense 3.0 lockscreen (which is available by patch for gingerbangvivow) would require rosie to work correctly...well at least to edit/use properly...as personalize doesnt work with the sense launcher (you would be stuck with whatever settings/skins u had pre-flash
alternative lockscreens are extremely difficult in sense besides aosp (well super easy) and rotary (not easy but its in the framework already)...nothing is impossible of course...just beyond my scope of abilities
Hi
Is there any way ( app or something ) how to get power widget to notoficatins area instead of last used programs? i dont like using power widget on a home screen
Is this what your looking for?
[APP] Notification Toggle
nope this app is crap...i already tried it on lot of different phones and its no good. I used some custom rom for my G1 and it has another widget ( editable ) in the notifications area....but it looked like as a version of the original home screen widget
Frankly, if you've all ready rooted your phone. Why don't you upgrade to a Gingerbread ROM which gives you the power widget in the notification area for you?

This isn't a built-in Gingerbread feature. It's one of CM7's many great modifications.
no hes right...Gingerbread has a power widget, ehm a sort of, mixed up with the notifications area on 2 tabs, but its not customizable. i thought about switching to cm's but i really like the sense and all that HTC "crap"

Yeah that's what I meant. I guess I could have worded that a little clearer. How about a MIUI ROM instead? It's a bit like Sense in a way.
yeah, but its not a sense rom. Maybe im too demanding....
I know that we have a stock rooted EL29 rom out there, but hear me out. I am hoping for a stock rooted ROM with fixed Gallery bug, since I can't seem to figure out how to get it working. The bug I am referring to is when TW on stock is simply does not allow you to have scrollable wallpaper. It is an issue to me since I use TW4.5 launcher. Every custom rom based on EL29 has this issue resolved, so I know it is possible.
I appreciate all of the work the devs do for us, but most roms are not my cup of tea as they make visual changes or adjust auto brightness levels to improve battery life, which make screen really dark and dull to me.

We heard you out but now hear us out ... post in the right section, thank you.
sigh, I am sorry, I thought I was in General
What gallery bug?
One where you are unable to set a custom wallpaper without breaking the scrolling homescreen feature of it. So like every screen will have the same wallpaper, not the scrollable version .

I believe Calkulin has resolved this issue in his ROM. Pull the gallery3D.apk from his ROM and push it to system/apps. Or you can simply use a different launcher, I think this is TW specific. I haven't seen it on any of the third party launchers.

Yea, no el26 or 29 based custom rom has is, but stock ones do. I wonder if doing what you say will fix it? I just like tw4.5 launcher, that's why I'm bummed.

What about Live Wallpaper?
Hey all, running rooted on the sourcery jb rom. Very happy with it, but there is a customization I had in the past that I cannot find, don't know if its a ROM option or a launcher customization. When I hit the Recents button, I get the normal list of tiles with recent apps. At one point I had an option to change that interface to a Sense version which gave me a "coverflow" style, and one or two other options. Can anybody tell me where this is? Was it a ICS thing that I can't get yet in JB, or did I just forget which launcher it is in (I dabble with many of them). Thank you so much for your help.

To the best of my knowledge that wasn't a feature that was removed between ICS and JB. Do you happen to know if you were using a custom launcher before, perhaps Apex or Nova?
I have Go, Apex, Nova, and ADW installed right now and I can't find the feature. I know the first time I found it I just kind of stumbled upon it. The more I search the more I think it is a lost ROM feature from some other ROM i've run in the past. I just hope I'm wrong.

You are correct. It is a mod that is available in, and for, certain roms. It is not a feature of any of those launchers.
Thank you....but dammit. Now I have to hope that the sourcery team likes it enough to incorporate it. I really liked that sense version.
This might be a dumb question, but is there any way to port over the 4.2 lockscreen over to a 4.1.2 ROM? I'm currently running Xylon ROM, but I miss multi-window and S-note. The only thing keeping me in this ROM is the lock screen which I love. I was using WidgetLocker on the stock ROM which was OK, but I like the way the 4.2 one works, especially with the swipe-to-the-right camera feature. Anyone know?
Yeah, there is no port and youve alreqdy run the closest substitute as far as I know. I love cLock on cm10.1 and I've found some decwnt widgets that kinda look similar, but it's not quite the same and we definitely don't have the swipe to camera.
