Reader Ticker Widget Replacement - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Does anyone know a RSS replacement for Google reader specifically with a scrollable card style widget? I now have a void on my home screen and an emptiness in my heart now that Google has stopped the reader service. I have spent years with this app and have become accustomed to its usage. I'd prefer a flickable one as opposed to one with arrow buttons to scroll. Any help please??? Screens show the widget I was using and the giant hole left behind

I really do like feedly also. They have a couple widgets, but they are under construction right now and un usable. I can only hope that they add this style.

Req. No buttons!

I sound crazy asking this but is there a way anyone could take the bottom quick action buttons off to where thre isn't anything there. No phone, messaging, internet, gmail icons. I bought this quick wave launcher from the market and it pretty much makes the bottom icons useless. Or is there a launcher that takes as many of them away.

ADW Launcher (maybe it's only an ADW.EX feature, but I really doubt it). There's an option somewhere in it that lets you cut it down to zero spaces and expand the desktop.
I use it I love it
Alternatively, you can set adw to hide the dock with a gesture, in case you want to keep the buttons but dont want to look at them

Thanks guys, I'm obviously a fan of webOS from palm. I'm going to give these a try. Id be happy with just the only thing showing is the app drawer icon.

ADW can do it.
Here's what I do:
I enable the hidden dock bar and have swipe-up bring it up. Then I disable the main dock so I have more desk space. Then I tie the home button to my app drawer. It works really well.

[Q] Remove Google search from home screen?

I just got this phone today and so far I love it. One thing that is bothering me is the google search widget that is on the home screen. Is there a way to remove this? I've tried everything I can think of. Thanks!

You can disable it but you can't use the space it used to take up at the top of the home screen. I just got holo launcher (a home screen app) and now I have all that space usable too.

After disable Google Search, try to apply the theme again and the search bar should be disappeared.

Pie launcher

Im on jedi x 13, and have pie launcher working, just curious to what everyone is using it for. I had toggles on it, but the pull down is good for that, just cant think of what to use it for at the moment.

I use it for quick access to necessary apps while I'm out n about on my bicycle. music maps etc its not as valuable as say is you were on nexus 7 but its a awesome jedi feature. I use it without the info showing because I like using the s pen thanks b whoever posted those awesome Hover point icons. If your feeling pie I recommend you checkout a app called relaunch1

why not just show your screen caps?
I've set it up with basic buttons like, back, home, recent apps, menu. I always use it coz it just appears on the side or bottom screen so i don't have to look down to press home or whatever.
POWERED by FROSTY!
Yeah ive tried it for all those things, found that the integrated phone features were easier and more user friendly. I like the feature and idea, just need the proper functionality for it.

Location Based Lock Screen Style

Is there a way to change lock screen styles based on location? (Maybe through something like Tasker?)
My 1 year old daughter has learned how to unlock my phone with the swipe lock screen, so I have changed it to facial recognition, which has adequately secured it from her.
However, when I'm not at home, I would prefer the ease of the swipe unlock.
Is this possible?

I couldn't find definitely that it will allow you to change unlock method based on location (everything else is listed and it's hinted at several places) but you might give SmartShift Lockscreen a try. You can find it here on Google Play.

Thanks for checking. That appears to be a lock screen replacement.
Ideally, I'd like to use the stock lock screen and just update the settings.

In that case I would check out Secure Settings App which is available through Google and has a thread here at XDA.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Couldn't figure out the facial recognition. However, I figured out how to toggle between requiring a pin and not, which should suffice for keeping my phone protected from a toddler accessing it.

It's preinstalled? It's the green app with an S. Should be in your app drawer if not check your application manager to make sure it's not disabled. Not sure if it even can be honestly.
Thank you, some how it got disabled.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
It comes pre-installed but you have to open it once to have access to the heart rate.
If it was disabled, then this can only happen from the application manager menu.
Pedometer isn't really accurate. You can shake your phone up and down. And it'll registers it as a step. It's still cool though looking at health data through out the day. At work the other day I've walked over 6 miles.

I tested it. Went for a walk, counted close to 500 steps, and the pedometer registered within 20.
It works best in a pocket, not in your hand.

I haven't looked through the app uet, but I know on my S4 I was able to go into the settings for the set counter and set it up for my walking stride. I think it is generic from the get go and bases it off your height. I may take a look around and see if I can find the setting again. I do like using it.
When I used it on my S4 I counted a thousand steps and it was dead on. I was also checking the step counter on my work phone (a Casio Commander if I remember correctly) and it was off quite a few steps.
Anyone know how to remove the pedometer count from my home screen. I enabled it when I first got my phone and now I cant remember how to disable it.

Hrm, I thought that was a widget.. however I can't get a widget that looks like that on my homescreen from touchwiz. I can however get a widget like that to show up when I use apex.
Are you sure it's not a widget? Just long press on it and then drag to the top of the screen and drop on the trashcan icon.
If you are using another launcher.. the process should be similar.

Duh. Wow, I tapped and held it and set it as hidden and now it's gone. I don't recall adding a widget as I don't even use widgets with Smart Launcher. Weird. Thanks though.
