So when my 1 year old watches Barney on the Tab she can't help but touching the screen and stopping / resizing / messing it up....
Is there an application to lock the screen / disable the touch screen on Honeycomb?
I think the Ipad has this as a hardware feature and I think it's essential.
Thanks!

Is there a way to disable the home screen carousel?
When you have the flyer in landscape mod the two sides are squished in so your homes screen is smashed down to only a few widgets.

I would like to know the same thing. I dont care for the animations.
The problem I have is that I'll want to just advance on screen, but I'll fling to vigorously, and the home screens will spin out of control, requiring me to play a game of roulette where if I land on the screen I want, I get to use it... Or something. What were you thinking, HTC? The spinning isn't a useful feature.
Your best bet is to just use ADW or Launcher Pro.
I've been using Launcher Pro since about 15 mins into owning the device. It's excellent, and makes much better use of widget real-estate. Jack the columns and rows up in the preferences, and you get to create very dense homescreens.
Also, with the separate tap, and swipe gestures for the dock icons, there are enough slots to add basically all the apps you use regularly.
The only downside I can see is that I can't seem to reconfigure the apps on the lock screen when I'm running Launcher Pro. I guess I have to switch back to the HTC launcher temporarily to do that.
Great tablet made better with this launcher.

There's a remedy to this problem... "move" the screen, don't flick it.
Can't blame HTC on this one... I'd have to chalk this up to user error... Some people may like desktop roulette.
Before I switched to ADW, I think you could stop the spinning by tapping on the screen you wanted... Oh well.

Well yeah the remedy is to adjust how I manipulate the device but my feeling is still that there isn't a use case for spinning the screens around. It's less usable because of it.

Maybe there isn't a use case, but it sure is fun
Can someone help me in getting rid of the lock screen? I wan to use my phone just after pressing the home screen no additional step by swiping the lock screen.
Very simple, install No Lock. It does what it says.
Working on Cognition 1.31,
Cheers.

I installed it, but still not working is there any tricks?
A bit weird way, more of a bug in the lock screen, is to hit the home key 4 times, the lock screen doesn't prevent the voice system from being activated. So you can hit once to activate the screen, two quick to enable the voice talk, and then once more to return to main screen. Bad way, but working.
Hi! I love the look of several of the themes with this program, as well as the functionality. However, I can't seem to see any setting to change your primary screen (the screen that comes up when you wake your phone... you know, the slide-lock screen, etc.). Do the themes come with such screens? I would like for the wake up screen to look like my main desktop screen. Thanks!

Hi,
Lock-screen integration will arrive in the future! :laugh:
Hey, I've just been wondering if anyone knew what happened to the old TV Style Lock effect. I've noticed that I haven't been seeing it for a few months now, it's just the fade out effect now.
Anyone know of a way to get that effect back? The apps in the play store only do the effect after doing some sort of gesture, pressing the power button still uses the default fade effect. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Screen on and off. Create an invisible widget and press it to lock the screen. Comes with many animations to chose from.

I'm looking for this too

I want this sort of app too - not one where you need to have to use a widget. I remember having this effect back on my S3 - flashed a zip using twrp and it replaced my animations with the old TV style effect. Also had that TV static + old TV style effect for shutdown animation.

I've had this one sitting around.. It's off the forums but I can't remember where.. Try the theme and mod section for the galaxy s8 plus
So what does the download above me do?
Yeah I installed it cause I thought it was the CRT lock screen. Did I just download a nuclear bomb? How do I use it?

Hi all,
Any ideas where I can find a floating dock for Nokia 8? My primary purpose is to be able to avoid using the button on the side to turn the screen off/lock the device. There are several available on the Play Store however they do not offer the ability to turn the screen off individually. I have to enter the pin when I wake up the device?
Alternatively, any gesture app would work too...I coud doube tap anywhere on the homescreen to turn the screen off!
Thanks!

You can use Microsoft Launcher and set home button as turn off screen.
If you don't mind widgets, Screen Lock by Prahallad works. No problem with fingerprint/PIN (have to enable support in settings). Doesn't fully lock immediately; screen blanks then in few seconds device enters actual locked state.

yeah well, then again, its a whole launcher....I like my pixel launcher as is....just need a small app for the dock...not looking to install an entire launcher for that purpose. But thanks man!
P.s. I did install it and check it out....however, it locks the device rather than turns the screen off....so back to square one
