Develop Bugs

[Q] Noob just rooted.. now what?

Hey guys I just rooted my galaxy nexus with the stock rom. I am wondering what I can do now, and specifically how I can begin theming my gn with custom icons and stuff. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I'm very new at this.

Start with jrummys "rom toolbox" you can easily change fonts, icons like battery, WiFi and stuff. Then to customize it a bit more head over to rootzwiki and get some boot animations designed for the nexus. I'd start there nice and easy so you don't screw anything up.

Thanks for your help. I seem to have a good direction to follow now.

You can't modify your ROM's looks without using a deodexed version of the ROM.
Look around the dev forums and browse for what you'd like to be using.
There are also exceptional themes for specific ROMs.
Best tip is just to browse the forums and look

any suggestions? I would like to have as few bugs as possible.

Personally I am a big fan of AOKP as there are a lot of themes available for it, constant development, and great controls built into the settings menu. That's not mentioning the exceptional battery life I get.
I am now running this on my gnex and gtab

I work download cache apps...it will ckear cache through the systems...

also make a nanbackup before making changes to themes and installing roms.

[Q] ICS TouchWiz lockscreen

I'm running the HyDrOG3N ICS ROM and am very happy with everything other than the lockscreen. I generally hate Touchwiz but after installing the official update on my girlfriend's phone, I find the lockscreen to be much better. If you get a new SMS then it appears on the lockscreen and you can swipe it to immediately go straight to the new message. Similar functionality for missed calls.
Is there any way to get the TouchWiz lockscreen on my ROM?

Download Magiclocker. There's a theme by h_zee13 called Galaxy Note which is exactly what you're after. It is a paid app though.

It's pretty useless since you can just drag down the notification bar on the lockscreen nowadays

I hate touchwiz too!

I ended up going back to a stock Samsung ROM in the end. I have to admit, as much as I used to hate touchwiz, I find it a lot more functional than vanilla ICS.

this app is pretty useful
its called widgetlocker lockscreen. its a paid app though but it has a lot of lockscreens and you don't have to be rooted
i can't paste the link here as I don't have ten posts yet.. sorry bout that

Old TV/ CRT lock screen animation

Anybody know how to add a lock screen animation without using a third party app? In referring to the old TV/ CRT off animation.

for almost all the Galaxys Samsung likes to remove that.. not sure why, i think it takes that hint of "wow" away from the phone.
I know for sure the CM9 rom's have it, and there are some other roms out there that will add it.
I know right now that CM10 does NOT have it, but i am sure that will come in time.
CM9 is the way to go, its like living on the edge with a saftey net .. (stable and better then stock)

I would very much like to know this. I have wanamlite installed and does not have this feature
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure nuns rom has it and so does mine you can check those out

I know DietICS has this feature and KyanRom has it as an apk add on. I'm not sure if winam has a flashable apk or if there is a universal apk you could use. I personally have Kyan and love the CRT off animation. It brings something unique to the phone when you shut it off, rather than a default delayed screen flicker.

It worked in LG1 and it is flickering in LH1. So I skipped adding it.

Yes please, bring it on, I'm also looking for it!

All the guides Ive seen required decompiling system.apk and modifying the services file. I on the other hand have no wish to install a custom rom or custom recovery just stock rooted with crt off. I saw on another thread someone mentiong a flashable zip for kyanROM, anybody confirm that it works on stock? Especially the Rogers LAL1. Thanks

Still no flashable zip to do that?

Moved from the One S to a SGS3...lockscreen question...

Hi,
I used to have an HTC One S phone but sold it and and decided to get a SGS3 phone instead. I'm very familiar with rooting and roms. I'm loving my SGS3 lockscreen and would like to keep it but I know I will lose it if I ROM. Does anyone know of a ROM or mod that will let me have the SGS3 lockscreen? This is what is keeping me from ROMing, I love the lockscreen...

What exactly about the lock screen is it that you enjoy?If it's the app shortcuts, many ROMs include the option to have up to 8 lock screen targets. Super useful!

most of the ROMs on the Android Development (not Original) section have TouchWiz-based ROMs.
just go in there and browse around until you see something that catches your eye.
i too like the TouchWiz lockscreen. but only because you have shortcuts AND security-based unlock.

What I like specifically is the ripple effect.

If you use a TW custom rom you will have the ripple effect lock screen. I'm using the black jelly bean rom and the rom has it.

Everyone recieved a 'thank you' hit! Thanks!

Thanks! And I woud like to second the recommendation for BlackJelly if the Touchwiz flavor is your preference. I personally prefer AOKP, but to each their own.

[REQ] Stock android lockscreen on Note II

Hi guys,
I have had a look around for this and couldn't find anything :/ I use widget locker but its just not the same. Shame because touchwiz isnt so bad everywhere else but here.
In my opiniom the lockscreen is really ugly and with the ripple effect not smooth either. Shame. So yeah does anyone know a way to port the stock android lockscreen to the note II? Or would someone be willing to do it so it could be flashed into a stock rom? I'd be happy to donate to anyone who can!
