Anyone saw the new Samsung s4 lockscreen glare / light flare effect. Any idea how we could bring it to Nexus 4?

That looks pretty sick. Samsung must've modified the hell out of the lockscreen. Wouldn't be surprised if it only works with Samsung's framework.

I think would be cool if it was like a lens flare that moves when you swipe.
PS:look at that screen on delay ! That is why im off with bloated crap.

As far as I'm concerned it uses the sensor on the screen technology too, it detects when you finger is closed to the screen so it might no be as Samsung but close if they can port it, the one I actually like is the one for the LG phones looks really good, when you touch the screen it actually gives you a peak to wtv app is open or home screen =)

That screen turn on delay is huge! When was the video taken? Was the S4 still a prototype when the video was shot?
Not it was released apparently it been fixed with the new update tho

Honestly I don't think I can ever move on from the tube tv animation being that it was THE coolest thing ever back in the 2.2-2.3 days.
But in the spirit of xda I hope someone ports it
Since the S4 comes with 4.2.2 it might be possible to port the lockscreen and maybe the rom TW rom

Hi,
I recently bought Galaxy Nexus and installed couple of Live Wallpapers.
I noticed extreme lag after setting wallpapers. The transition fps from page to page is drastically dropped.
Live Wallpapers tested with....
1. Fresh Leaves
2. Luma Live wallpaper
3. Deap Sea and Luminous dots (Galaxy S III - Apps downloaded from this forum.)
Does anyone has this problem? Is there any defect on ICS 4.0.4?
same here, seems like phase beam is the only one that's smooth
Why is this in themes and apps and not in questions and answers? This is a question.... and you eve checked the "is this a question" box....

It's a known bug. Phase beam is the only one that is optimized for the Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
If you disable wallpaper scrolling it would decrease the lag.. Most Roms have that option.. And launchers.

It all depends on the live wallpaper. Even stock ones aren't optimized. Confounds me why Google would put live wallpapers on a phone that lag. Anyway look through the market. There are tons of nice ones that have 0 lag and are butter smooth.

Ahmato's suggested solution has been working for me for weeks. Just disable wallpaper scrolling.
Sent from the future.
I can confirm that turning off wallpaper scrolling makes no noticeable difference.
I really wish that google would address this issue.
I said this before in another thread. What I noticed is that the phone puts the lwp before the launcher. As the launcher lags the lwp stays the same. When comparing to my ns4g I noticed its reversed If the lwp is to much for the phone the lwp lags and not such the launcher.

I can confirm that it does. Holo spiral and nexus revamped has always lagged until I disabled wallpaper scrolling in apex launcher.
For example, phase beam doesn't move around when scrolling, does it?
Not trying to start some pointless argument, just pointing out that it does work for many.

You can accomplish this UI with the current apps on the playstore... Desktop Visualizer, Widget Locker, Multi Live Wallpaper and a little Gimp/Photoshop to make the wallpaper and some time... boom you have a very basic UI I think sharp isn't going to go anywhere with this.
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy Nexus CDMA using xda premium
I don't get why they put icons inside of squares. Its like putting an icon inside an icon which leaves you with a 3 column app tray. Think about all the scrolling you'd have to do.
The lock screen is cool and I'm sure the app store will have something similar soon enough.

Lock screen does look awesome.

its similar, use multi-live-wallpaper and set crop to "Fit to screen" (this is my version of it) if anyone wants it. I personally do not like this UI but I thought i would take a step toward what some ppl want. Ill make the icons 2mrw if you guys want em. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffkbkwgxqvm681a/FEELUI.rar Enjoy!

this is more than just a home screen transition.
nothing out there (that i have seen at least) gives you vertical scrolling on the home screen as well as horizontal scrolling.
also, the lock screen is more than just a widgetlocker theme. the clock wont be on the bottom, and it wont scroll, the lock screen wallpaper wont scroll, you cant slide the lock icon up, and get the options, you dont get the nicer looking missed call/mail/sms pop ups.
this goes MUCH further than just some skin.
I just read an article about this from The Verge and i'm intrigued. The developers created Next interface and seem to be onto something. They feel the desktop is an unnecessary step to get to the app tray. Fair point, why have a bunch of apps then hit a button to get to your other apps? In the quest to be pc-like, Android has a desktop and widgets. Great, but I do see the point being made here. Oh, and notifications were redesigned.

A full port would be amazing. It would become my daily for sure, it's so creative and the design and fonts and everything is so beautiful. I love clean looks.
Would love a port...but its not gonna be out for a while...considering Feel UX phones arent even out yet in Japan.

Very impressed with the slick lockscreen, but not so impressed with the basic UI otherwise. Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, adding lines in between rows of icons is not a feature.

While waiting on hold for Google support a few weeks back, I decided to slap together a wallpaper for my Nexus 7 (and its coming replacement)... and I rather liked what I came up with, so I figured I'd share it (them) here. The size is ever so slightly off, but it's close enough that the scaling isn't noticeable.
Lossless PNG versions can be nabbed below (sorry they're not hotlinks; I'm too new to the forum):

I like the pic but can't really figure out how to use it well.
If I go to gallery and choose set as wallpaper it gives me a crazy sliding box system that can never cover the whole pic. Is that what u guys are using?
Edit:it looks pretty small in gallery btw.maybe 1/4 screen
Great one.

You can resize the crazy sliding box. Just grab one of the blue dots on the side and drag outwards to make it bigger.

This is driving me slowly insane.
I cant do it. The box wont get big enough to cover the entire picture so I end up with a stretched image.
This has been the only thing so far on android that seems ridiculously complex. Why cant I just choose the picture I want?

You can use mulitipicture live wallpaper or wallpaper wizardrii to set the wallpaper without cropping it. If you use mulitipicture live, you open the app by long pressing the screen, choosing live wallpaper, and then choosing multi picture live wallpaper.
You can then set a still wallpaper for each home screen or for all home screens, have it scrolling or not scrolling, have it stay put or rotate with the homescreen, etc...

So is 1600x1280 the correct size scrolling wallpapers need to be n order to fit 100% properly? I've been trying to figure this out for the longest lol.

No. You are actually replacing the whole lockscreen framework. It would be nice if it was an .apk though.
Lock screens are really hard to port. Like to the point older samsung phones can't even get the water ripple lockscreen. Only jelly bean ones and that's only cuz you can change a line in the build prop.

It's also on note 2 when it got the 4.3 update I think

If you check out on YouTube one of the early reviews for the note 3 you can even see it there...lol I was thinking the same thing I was pretty confused but I can distinctly remember the light flare/lens flare effect being used if you set a live wallpaper to both lock screen and home screen
Let me give link for video :[]
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
You'd probably be able to find something similar on the Play Store wouldn't you? You aren't using a password right?
I haven't seen it in KK version.
I I think they took it out for some reason. Maybe they wanted it to be phone specific ? Ie: lens flare s4, watercolor note 3, posing colors s5, etc
In the system folder media there is the sound effect for it though. What a bummer they took that out. I can't stand ripple and water cooler. Flare looks really cool
