[Q] Circular Unlock Screen

Hi All,
I was reading an article today, and in it noticed an image of a circular unlock screen which allows you to access messages and call logs directly from the lock screen. The image I'm referring to can be found here;

Does anybody know how to use/install this on the Galaxy Nexus?
Regards,

Use this ROM:

Thanks for the quick reply. So is there no other way to achieve this than to flash a custom rom?

Not at present as it's a custom lock screen

You can do that with WidgetLocker. Don't believe all of the trash saying you need a custom ROM.

Locker Widgets or Themes
Would either the GO Locker or the Widget Locker allow a different lock screen when one is on Exchange and only the pin lock screen is allowed?
It would be nice to have an unlock method that is secure but yet something that can be down will no looking at the screen .....driving.

He's right except for one small detail
Widget Locker and Go Locker are trash compared to the stock lock screen because they don't function as cleanly and as perfectly as the stock lock screen.
So yeah, don't believe all that trash saying you need a custom ROM /s
except for the part where the custom lock screen in that ROM is 100x better and smoother than widget locker and go locker which suffer from that horrible 5 second lock problem.

Enable root helper in WidgetLocker. Bam. No delay. Complete customization. WL is buttery smooth for me.

RootzBoat v6.1 rom has functionality built in. I'm not sure if its a custom lockscreen or just something the modded in themselves.
But it's cool.

Hello Guys,
I'm recently changed the iPad to buy Iconia A100. I really satisfied exept for the following points:
1. battery life: It's really frustrating recharge A100 like an iPhone. I've donwloaded the Judge Defender and installed as well CPUSleep but I can't arrive at the end of the day.
2. I've installed latest ROM CPCyanogen, my really good compliment to Pio Masaki, the table has completly changed the performance with his room, but I would like to ask You if it's possibile to remove the vibration screen everytime I tap on the screen.
I've removed all flag for vibration in the display settings and Input method, but I'm still getting vibration in the home screen when I change the icon position and the block screen. Is it an easy fix to do that?
3. I would like to personalize my tab in order:
- change wallpaper: what is the right size? because everytime it's crop the image
- boot screen: I would like to change boot screen animation, is there in the forum a procedure to do that? I searched it without found it
- Widget and launcher: do you have some advice?
Thank a lot for Your support

Welcome to the forum and the a100!
1: Yes it does have mediocre battery life, not much can be done about it besides finding a CPU governor that helps but keeps performance where you want it, Linux society has a kernel with tons of options that you may like. Screen brightness is a huge drain, and only have GPS on if needed will also help.
2: That vibration is with the launcher, so check in launched settings for that option.
3: The screen resolution is 1024x600 however wallpapers tend to move with home screen changes, so it may still be to wide, this can usually be set in launcher settings too.
/system/media/bootanimation.zip is where the boot animation is, you can replace it with another of the same or lower resolution to personalize it to your liking.
I use Apex launcher and also Holo launcher, both are pretty quick and smooth.

Thank you Pio for you fast answer, I really appreciated it.
Last question, that I missed in my first post: I bought some ebook when I got the iPad, I`ve tried to copy on A100 to open them with ebook reader but does’t works.
I think that is not correct if I have to re-downloaded from G.Play and pay again for them.
Is it something that I can do?
Thanks

If you pulled the ebooks off already, the format may not be compatible. Use calibre to convert to epub and it'll work with apps like aldiko.

[Q] Now that i have my Nexus...

I've just come from a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. Now that i have my new Android device, im looking for the most recommended apps to install, or changes to make (short of a new rom, as im not ready to do that just yet). Ive already installed a flashlight app, facebook, netflix, and Colornote. But i know there's likely some apps im not thinking about (like if there is a good GPS navagation software if not the preloaded one.
Also, more key to the Nexus, there are a few things i would like to do.
1. Control the notification LED. (i think it takes too long to blink)
2. Add unlock choices to the lock screen (ie, id like to unlock straight to messages)
3. Perhaps add other information to the lock screen, like weather or something.
If those three things can only be done with a custom rom, i understand. Was just hoping there were apps to control it individually.
Thanks

all of those can in fact be done with a custom rom, advantage being all is builtin.
that said, these come to mind:
1- lightflow (paid and free versions available)
2- golocker, for example?
3- golocker once again, i believe.

Welcome to the nexus bud!
1: For the led notification I would get the app light flow.
2: The lock screen targets require a custom ROM.
3: Samething for weather and calendar. There are lock screen apps that can do it but they are mostly paid apps. One that I know works pretty well is widget locker.

I would install ClockwordMod Recovery and then a custom ROM. You get the benefits of improved functionality over stock without installing extra apps. In the end it's a more rewarding solution, as you might find other things you like that you may not be aware of.

As stated by the first response you could get all those features with a custom ROM. You actually hit the nail in the head because those are some of the main perks of custom ROMs. That and being built in instead using a third party app and using more ram.

Cyanogenmod10
Weather and additional shortcut in lockscreen
Notifications LED included in the system
(Sorry for my bad english!)

Codename Android rom offers those things also.

[Q] Lock screen apps

So with the new exploit for 4.4 by jcase (thanks for that by the way), I have root access and s-off. Being as my m7 is still relatively new and I'm not sick of Sense (yet), I installed the stock 4.4 m7 rom. I have no complaints except for the fact that my apps do not want to show up in the lock screen. I also can't seem to add any widgets to the home screen (not that I want to but just seems odd). Anyway, wondering if this is something that I'm just missing or if it is a flaw in the rom.
Thanks

Sense 5.5 lockscreen is different then previous versions of Sense.
You only have limited widgets that you can add to the lockscreen.
You have to swipe to the side from the top right edge of the lockscreen.
To add widgets to the homescreen, tap and hold on the homescreen, you should have a bunch of widgets that can be added.
Everything works in the rom, it's stock, as HTC made it.
Sounds like you just aren't familiar with Sense 5.5 yet.
There are guides online about the changes and differences between Sense 5 and Sense 5.5 that may help you see what has changed.

I understand that the lockscreen has changed in sense 5.5. I have been using the phone for about a month. The lockscreen just doesnt give me any option to swipe in any direction. I can add widgets to the home screen, its just the lock screen thats giving me the issue. And usually if I recall correctly, on the lock screen, there are usually some translucent arrows indicating that you can swipe to add widgets, and i dont seem to have that
Thanks

There's a setting somewhere to enable lockscreen widgets. Been a while since I flashed s new Rom so I can't remember where.

So I ended up flashing a new rom with sense 6 in it so this is not an issue anymore. Thanks anyway

Lock screen

Hi guys is it possible to change lock screens ie with go locker or something similar, im downgraded and rooted, many thanks

Kind of?
I downloaded it using Mobogenie and the custom lockscreen does work, but the bottom bar pop ups and then after you unlock or use one of the options it brings up your Amazon lock screen
So you can have a fairly nice lock screen, then have the navigation bar popup, then unlock it, then have to unlock again. This is all I've found so far

I used Next Lock Screen by Microsoft. It's in the play store. It's perfect because it let's me use the auto hibernate (non root) feature without leaving my phone totally insecure. It's also kind of cool with all its features. I can't speak on how it affects battery life. I don't use my fire phone at all. I just installed my apps and wait patiently for someone much smarter than me to get root on 3.6.8
