He,
How do I get rid of the software buttons when I play games ? It is disturbing and sometimes you push accidentally the home button...
Thanks already

Well, you can do literally nothing in this particular case without root
But with it you can try fullscreen! App

Any other options besides GMD. I gave this a whirl however noticed significant lag with it on while playing games. Tried it both with NFS and Skylanders and could notice the jerkyness. Turning off restored games smooth play. Really liked the full screen effect so was wondering if there were any better options out there. Of note it did have one good side effect, it slowed NFS enough that I was able to see incoming traffic better and avoid for better overall score ?.

Lock screen

Hi guys I m looking for a screen-lock customizer, but no luck yet. Suggestions?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Widgetlocker is great.
but you have to pay
I see and there is no trial version to test it, but the app seems nice.

You will not regret widgetlocker. Trust us. Its probably more stable than the lockscreen on my vibrant.

I downloaded it online to test it (and check it works on the defy with launcher pro) and after that I bougt it. Awsome app.
Love to have widget on the lock screen
Ok I'll try it and I must say it's quite cheap after all

Are you guys having luck with Launcher Pro on the Defy? My sister has one and I tried to install LP and it lagged horribly..could hardly even switch screens it was so bad

Works fine for me, actually improved performance a lot, you don't have a live wallpaper on by any chance?

Finally installed widgetlocker and I must say that's a great software. The only thing I'm missing is a way to launch it directly from a shortcut; anyone knows if it's possible?

in what respect? can you explain further? Where do you want this shortcut on the lock screen itself or on one of your home screens?
Sorry guys I must be blind: there's a specific shortcut created by the program itself which does exactly what I need
Thanks anyway higgsy ;-)

Is it strange that i don't use the autolocker at all? When i don't use the phone or put it in a pocket, it push the power button. That seems pretty much enough to shut the screen and block the touchscreen.
But the lockscreen would be of use if I often had a risk of something pushing the power button in my pocket...
That may be true, but I find the power button very inconvenient to use and when I need to take a quick look at the watch or missed calls without messing the screen a screenlocker is the best solution.

GTA controls with keyboard

Hey guys. I've noticed some of the controls work with the hardware keyboard such as driving forwards and backwards and hijacking cars ect... However not all the controls work. Is there a way to map the rest of the controls to buttons?

Lol, with keyboard, PC cheats work well on this version

I'm also trying to figure out controls so I can use my gamegripper.
I've been using GameKeyboard app https://market.android.com/details?...SwxLDUwMSwiY29tLmxvY25ldC5nYW1la2V5Ym9hcmQiXQ..
To map the keys to dpad controls for movement but struggling with buttons.
BTW GameKeyboard also lets you map keys for onlive gaming which is bloody awesome!
You can use gamecih and search for the values of health and money. Its pretty easy.

Lol what's the point of using gamekeyboard on a HTC Sensation?? that phone doesnt even have a slide out keyboard so what's the point of having an on screen touch keyboard when u already have a joystick on screen?

Temple run problem ?

The character stays more on the right even when I hold the phone straight. What should be calibrated to fix this problem ? Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I know that game is VERY sensitive on Android (compared to my iPhone) but I remember that there is an option in the game to adjust the sensitivity, try that, because I know if I even just shake the phone a little bit, the character reacts to my movement.
I tried that That doesn't do any good
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Then it sounds like there is an issue with your gyroscope, there are some apps that will help you calibrate it, but I think it is only app level, not system level. Check another game that uses the gyroscope and see how that behaves, try a racing game demo, most of those have the option.
Tried lane splitter. Keeps going towards the right on its own. Know any app which could use root permissions and calibrate it universally ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I used an app called GPS status. Calibrated the accelerometer and it seems to have fixed the problem in all games

Fix for washed out colors on Nexus 7-toggle for nvidia tegra 3 prism

Just came a crossed an app that disables the tegra 3 screen dimming function which causes the washed out colors. The app is nvidia tegra prism toggle...used it and noticed a big difference but MUST BE ROOTED TO USE THIS APP
MOD Edit: Links Removed.

App can't be opened?

It can and does open but ask for rooting rights as soon as it starts
Worked great here. Thanks for the find!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
it's been sad many times,i think there's also a 3ad somewhere of prism toggle by nvidia.Anyways,if you don't want to buy the app,you can use the tricksterMOD app and by disabling smart-dimmer in the proper tab,you do the same thing (echo "0" > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable)
EDIT ehi,but it's warez!!!!!!!!!!!PULL IT OFF!
thanx guys, trying this out,,steve

I noticed that if I'm playing a youtube video, and I press the recents button, the icons look wash out/almost white. not anymore with this app.

there is no problem with the display. its a power-saving feature which doesnt save any power from what i was able to find out.
problem is that it washes out your colors. its extremly visible when you watch video for 10-20min and then press HOME. it stays like this for good 30+sec. after that it goes back to normal. watching a lot of movies, its visible whether I have this turned ON/OFF.

(REQ) SAMSUNG S4 Air gesture & air view

Has anyone try to port any of the Samsung s4 native software to ZL...like air gesture or air view for web browsing...it uses the camera so maybe it can be ported...
Third party software like wave-o-rama has try to make something like air gesture for gallery app but it is buggy and hard to detect your hand...
Just a request, if its possible that is...maybe it's a gimmick software but I think it's neat to have it and I think these two work pretty well...I've use it and like it a bit...
Thanks for anybody who interested...don't get mad ok...^^
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
Not possible. The s4 has a dedicated motion sensor next to the ear piece. And the screen has hardware to detect something hovering over it. Its not software. Only things like smart stay, smart scroll, and smart pause utilize the front facing camera. Maybe look into the optimus g2 forums or optimus g pro. They have most of these features as well

I can confirm it's work.. You just need root in order to enable air gesture in browser and gallery . find it in Playstore or XDA version at Apps Development section .
