Hi all,
I was playing about with another random non-brand tablet when I went to unlock the device (just slide lock enabled). The lock circle include a range of apps (possible favourites) with the actually unlock icon as one of them. There was nothing fancy about it all, no graphical changes or folders. Just apps.
Does such an application exist. I know there are loads around that do fancy stuff that go into contacts, folders etc, etc but this simply had apps on the lock circle and that's what I'm after.
Cheers,
vgjfelix
You get that kinda feature in most custom roms
Exampel: settings->interface->lockscreen->custom slider targets

And what if you don't have a custom rom nor wish to install one?
Try "go locker" I've used it in the past and recommend it.

Try Widgetlocker in the market, also.

Ahh, then I don't know. The one and only thing I remember with third party app-lockscreens is that they tend to be kinda unstable. But that may be only me, wish you luck finding a good one tho!

WidgetLocker is the best for what you asking.

You can even assign shortcuts or actions. =)
Oh that's right. Widget locker is the other one I've tried. I like it allot also but I think there's no free version? Correct me if I'm wrong? Well worth the buck tho.

Had this phone for Two days now and LOVE it. Way better then evo 3d I had. Only issue I have is I struggle to unlock it every time. Maybe the size maybe the touchwiz screen. Either way it makes me crazy. Anyone make a suggestion of a different lock screen that is stable and won't mess up the excellent battery life.
Btw I have no interest in rooting but don't mind buying an app if needed. Also I have no issue with other parts of touchwiz just the lock screen.
I use widget locker. You can set that up any way you'd like. I have the stock aosp lock screen. Does wonders.

Widget locker allows you to customize the lockscreen with a ot of different options. So the AOSP lockscreen is when you slide the icon across to unlock you phone. It is Androids stock lock screen that ships with Android if Samsung or HTC wouldn't add their own.
Agile lock is pretty good too. It gives you a lockscreen similar to sense 3.0

I replaced my stock lock screen with widget locker and haven't experienced any problems (including battery life). It could be that people using widget locker are placing battery intensive widgets on their lockscreen.
Yeah I haven't had any problems with battery life or any slow downs either. This phone handles the battery and speed well. You can set it up however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can even download themes. I just like it so much because I don't have to use the original lock screen for our phone.

Thanks again! I downloaded and have been playing with widget locker and love it so far. Only question I have is ... Is there some way to get rid of the icon in the notification bar that shows widget locker ongoing. I keep thinking there is something I have not checked and it kinda bothers me. Tried to find a setting to get rid if it but no luck. Thanks again

Hi all
Is there a quick toggle mod for the notification drop down menu like found on stock TouchWiz and Sense devices? Not looking for widgets on the "desktop"
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You can try Widgetsoid in the Market. It will allow you to place themed toggles in the notification area without a widget. Just make sure you select "hide widgets".
That could work, however, I was looking more for a hard mod that could be flashed in there, like in past devices that I've used that didn't feature this by default (back in the Sense 2.1 days).
Like this? Its available on this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383210

I haven't seen a separate mod. You can always ask the rom developer to make a flashable zip for you.

Yes, as long as the major toggles are all there (wifi, bt, gps, etc...) that is exactly it. Of course, on Touch Wiz, it's just one horizontal line of toggles (like the widget on the Nexus), and that is the cleanest. On sense 3.0, it's a vertical list of toggles.

I tried turning on the notification toggle in widgetsoid, it doesn't even show up for me.
Also, seeing how the music player can have different buttons in the same row, I don't see why it can't be possible for other apps to use this functionality too.
Edit: Widgetsoid works perfectly, almost exactly the same as the CM toggle bar (sans the side scrolling)
Someone should be able to make a new app for ics,
you can add buttons in the dropdown now so it should be possible with out a custom rom or even root
Is this what you are looking for?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037817
"With this app, you can place different toggles into your Android status/notification bar for quick access without having a dozen toggle-widgets on your homescreens
You can choose which toggles to display in the settings of the app. You can also choose to combine different toggles into one "all in one" notification.
Unfortunately, on most devices you can only define one action per notification, so on these it will show a small dialog with the available toggles when clicking on the "all in one" notification. But some devices (seems like all devices with HTC Sense ROM) can distinguish where in the notification you clicked and on these you don't have to see the dialog.
The app is for free in the Android market, would be nice to get some feedback"
Im looking for the SPB Shell 3d app, but im trying to get it for free. I tried a bunch of .apk files on 4Shared and all of them say "you have to purchase the app" is there a free working version of this app?

You will find a lot of apk's saying its a cracked version, but they won't work for it. I bought it, but rarely ever use it. If it had more options to play with, then I probably would.
The concept of it is great BUT the UI design is just plain ugly. I would like to theme it myself though.
SPB Shell is cool in concept & design but for me at least, cumbersome in usability & lacking all around in user friendliness.
I use daily, but definitely lacking in options. Biggest so far is no option to increase number of rows and columns, and zero options for app drawer.

ssLauncher is definitely the most unique of the bunch. There is still one bug the developer is working on fixing and that is clock widgets are not updating. Besides that everything else had been pretty solid with it.
On ssLauncher, are you able to add effects like on GoLauncher?

There in effect that flips the pages like a magazine...The main thing with ssLauncher is that it gives you the ability to pretty much put anything, anywhere on the screen. If you want something more organized with a lot of screen transition animations, the other launchers would work better for you.

Yes but certain Roms do not have the screen shot app installed as they consider it bloatware so if it does not work (when pressed you hear a camera shutter sound) if no sound it does not work on your Rom. No worries you can then install the APK to get it back up and running. I think Some people posted it.

Ditto. Bought it because I had read so many good comments about it in the past, but I was kind of disappointed in it. Back to "Make Your Clock" where you just roll your own from scratch.
I've had this one for a while and like it quite a bit. Pretty broad selection of themes, though as others have said, it has been a while since much new material has been added. Never had any significant problems with it in terms of functionality, either with my Evo or my GNex.
