i'm on wolfbreak's gingerbread rom, 2.3, hotfix 5 with xperia ray launcher.
Everything installed fine and i don't have anything serious to report, except one thing: the power control widget doesn't work.
Whenever i decide to place it on my homescreen, it doens't get into the window which asks which buttons to choose; instead it immediatly place the widget on the screen with 5 blank buttons and that's it.
Some way to fix this? Is there an .apk i can flash to give those power widget buttons? it's bad enough that with this rom there aren't any of those in the scrollable notification bar, my android life really depends on those buttons.
Thanks in advance
You should report this bug here:

What is your home application? provide more details
i'm sorry i'm new to this, what is a home application? hmmm.. I'm running a unrooted x10 as of right now... if that helps. Thanks!
The button i was talking about is the center bottom button that becomes a trash can when you try to delete applications from your home screen. I was wondering how I can install shortcuts next to the trash can button. I didnt know x10 was capable of doing this until I used the clean-up.bat that came along with jit. However, I have since factory reset the x1o, and I was wondering how I can get the shortcuts functions back without all the other customized functions that clean-up.bat gives you after you run it. Thanks!

Im assuming you have adw, if so do as i have mentioned below:
Long press empty place of the home screen
select Launcher actions
select Open/close app drawer
Then your icon will appear in the scree, simply drag the icon to desired position on the bottom bar, in your case to the center location
Cheers
What is adw? and how can I find out if I have it or not? when I long press the home screen, it gives me 4 options - shortcuts, widgets, folders, and wallpapers. I do not have launcher actions.... how do I get that? Thanks!
Install LauncherPro, long press the icon, and change the icon, or the function.

I installed LauncherPro and it did it automatically. Thanks everyone!
Any info how to make the default froyo lockscreen in portrait ?pls advice
I had to buy WidgetLocker
Lock 2.0 will also force lockscreen to portrait.
Full version
Demo version
LockBot also uses portrait.
Free version
Paid version
I played a bit with LockBot free and it works better if you use something like NoLock to turn off the phone's built-in lockscreen. I'm not using a security lock.
I like LockBot better from the few minutes I tried them out.
Edit: the free version of LockBot has no ads and has three lockscreens you can choose from. It also allows unlocking form the menu button. See attached images for Lockbot free lockscreens.
To choose a theme in the free version open Lockbot from the app tray. Tap My themes. Then hit the menu key and then playlist. In the free version you can pick from the three themes pictured in the attachments. The ones you select will rotate. Select only one if you want the same lockscreen each time.
How do u get lock 2.0 to so lock screen in full mode?

That's my current setup. I changed the backgrounds for the lockscreens to pics of my 3 year old grand kids.
LockBot works with the PowerAmp lockscreen widget, except with the direct unlock setting in PowerAmp. So when I am running PowerAmp I have to unlock twice, which is how I had it setup with the stock lockscreen.
I have widgetlocker, but it irritates me how the first time I try to wake my phone up, the stock lock screen is there and the phone immediately shuts back off. I'll try nolock when I get home, thanks for the info!
Edit: Worked like a charm.

Hi,
Widget Locker is really good however the Home Screen bypasses the security. Howevr you must use the inbuilt lock for it to work. But note, if you have a widgetlocker background for example black then when you go to unlock it you will see your homescreen background which doesnt really fit in? if you know what i mean?
LockBot Pro was really good and my preferred choice however that too bypass security. Even though it has its own Inbuilt Lock. Pressing the Home gets rid of it...apparently it say's its fixed but you can still press the Home and you're in....
---
I downloaded Lock 2.0 which has a inbuilt Lock 4 Digit Pass. Which is what I want however I can't move the slider down. ?? the background pictures shows correctly but then the slider is like half way down the screen.. does anyone have a idea how this works??
Thanks
I didn't like NoLock because the volume and camera keys bring the phone back to life.
I found Screen Mode Widget Lite overcame that problem.

I'm having a problem with my ADW Launcher which is currently driving me mad and I hope someone is able to shed light on the problem I'm having.
I am using Streakdroid 1.9.0 update and after factory reset and flashing the rom (installing ONLY Gingerbread), I install ADW Launcher (free) through Android Market.
After installing ADW Launcher, I notice that when I long press on the icons on the home screen, there is no EDIT, MANAGE, REMOVE etc menu. Just a simple trash icon on the bottom of the homescreen to remove the icon appears when I long press on an icon on the homescreen.
The problem is, I remember I used to have a menu with EDIT, MANAGE, REMOVE etc previously with my ADW Launcher when I long press on the homescreen icons. How do I bring that back?
Another difference is that there is no more Lock/Unlock Screen option when I hit the menu button on homescreen anymore.
Anyone can help or shed light on this anomaly, PLEASE HELP. It's driving me crazy just wondering how I can get back the menu!
Thanks!
sounds like your still on the dell stage launcher maybe?
What? No, only stick gingerbread was installed. No stage launched. Adw launched installed on top of gingerbread afterwards. The launched IS adw launched, nothing to do with dell stage ui.
Hello everyone!
I've got some questions about my galaxy S2.
I have my device for about a month now and decided to root it (ICS).
I installed GO launcher and for some reason it appeared in my task manager and i swiped it away by accident and thats where the ~ started
Got a black homescreen, rebooting didn't help so i thought well this is some kind of brick?
Yesterday i downloaded the pre-leaked 4.1.2 jelly bean (as belgium still doesn't have the official update) and put it on my device. I think it's dated from early november 2012.
Everythings working fine now but i have a few questions about changing some settings i don't seem to find or that don't work.
1.) Text message app:
The chat bubbles seem larger and the text in it too compared to ICS (if i remember it correctly). Is there any way to make make the font size even smaller than the default "extra small" which is quite large in my opinion. I don't want to use another messaging app and i tried a few apps to change font size but they didnt change it inside the messages app.
2.) Message buzzer:
When recieving a message my phone buzzes very hard and loudly for about a whole second eventhough i put it on heartbeat :s
Any idea how to fix this?
3.) Notification bar:
When sliding down the notification bar the upper row of switches always is in the middle position and then scrolls sideways to the first switch automatically, is this normal? and is there a way to change this?
4.) Go Locker:
When pressing a button to open the lockscreen my touch doesnt always respond. Need to lock it again, light up the screen again and then i'm able to swipe the screen. Normal?
Thanks in advance
I'd answer your questions one by one but i'm gonna make an aseveration instead.
It's normal, you'll get used to it, use the vol rocker to change the size.
You're on the leak, you can flash the netherlands ROM if you like, it's jb final.
Some of the apps that worked so well on ICS won't work the same way because of the different OS and lack of app upgrade.

dun use go launcher/ go locker if u feel that it is the cause. go launcher is known for it's big memory hogging/ overeater. try buzz launcher :cyclops:
@gastonw i know about the volume button but it doesn't go as small as before
@cyelanius i have no trouble with the memory usage, dont see much diff in batery life and i'm not a gamer on this device
Thanks for the replies anyways
Trust me, you'll get used to; I did.

Hello,
I have been using the LG V30 for 2 weeks and I am pretty happy with it. The only thing that bothers me are the Icons of already installed apps (like WhatsApp) and GApps. Even if i choose the original shape, these ones stay the same rounded square Icons. I guess that is nothing new and expected behaviour.
This is why I have googled around for the last two hours in order to find answers on how to change these icons.
The only answers I have found were
a) custom icon pack with other launcher
b) use ThemeX and edit specific icons
c) root
d) use a theme
Unfortunately c) is not an option because i do not want to root. b) is off the table as well because that does not work with V30. And since i really love the double tap feature and i cannot stand the solution of nova launcher and other launchers, a) does not fit my needs either.
So I guess the only option for me would be d), wouldn't it? However, all the themes I tried either do not change icons or they change them too much (like all the 'top' themes in LG Smartworld).
This leads to this post and my question: Is there something I did not try yet? If not, is there a theme in Google Play that only changes specific icons (LG Apps, GApps) and no too much else?
Sorry if this is kind of a 'repost' or if this specific question has already been answered. I know this topic was discussed wildely in the Internet and here but i could not find a thread that was as specific as mine.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Brothize

Please clarify why you don't want Nova launcher, as it seems to meet exactly what you want? Nova launcher retains double tap unless you are talking about something else. Mentioned in almost every Nova article: https://beebom.com/cool-nova-launcher-tricks/
I do not use the double tap feature, but when I've tried it with Nova, it's there. For me, the back fingerprint sensor button is much easier to tap for on/off than trying to hold the phone and do a double tap on some open space on the screen (I have lot of icons).
Yes, I have rooted stock firmware and am running Nova launcher with custom pack icons. But my wife and mother and several friends just have Nova launcher with custom pack icons and are NOT rooted.

Thank you for your answer.
I use the the double tap mainly for locking (feels nicer than pressing the button on the back) and sometimes for unlocking in order to check notifications (when phone is on a table, especially at work).
Concerning Nova launcher: I use the floating bar and the screen does not really turn off as in yes, it turns dark, but the floating bar is still visible. Not even after waiting 30-180 seconds. I even tried to play with the settings. Unfortunately the floating bar was still showing. Sorry, I should have clarified why it was not working for me properly!
Are you using the floating bar and it works? Which would mean something is off with my settings I guess.

I believe Novas workaround for non rooted devices is to turn the screen black until your display times out. You may have your timeout set high. The other workaround is to use device administrator but that makes you have to enter your pin/password when you turn your phone on again. I also don't like either method so before I was rooted, I just relied on the double tap on status bar to turn the screen off
Nova launcher prime have gestures and you can made double tap to lock the screen.

I forgot and that method. Yeah, that locks instantly even with Nova.
