Check your weather widget's settings. I've seriously never seen those on my Samsung. Only on my Desire.
I've been running a custom rom from the start.

Seriously, you never seen that before? It's always been there since I have had my GS2.
I am also on a custom Rom.
Also, there is no option to toggle this on or off. It's annoying because everytime I unlock the phone, I can't do anything until the animation finishes!

I also have never seen that before.has that animation been there when you first got the phone with stock firmware?

Hmm...
To be honest, I can not recall it never being there. As far as I can remember, It has always been there since day one. This is wierd, I can not be the ONLY one who has the cloud animation when unlocking the phone. am I? It is like how we get the animation on HTC Sense (Homescreen) but I hate it.
Does anyone with GS2 have the cloud animation like mine?

Mabey somebody owned the phone before you and returned it to the store.

Widget locker and fancy widget do it too.
Must be an installed program.

Tapping the screen after the animation starts does stop it then you can do what you want.
If its beautiful widgets then as stated previously by simes6600 "go to weather widget settings>advanced and untick "unlock animations" "...

hey guys.
I do have BW installed but i don't use it. Neither WL nor FW. However, i have checked the settings on BW and unlock animation is turned off. Its not a big of deal but i would like to use my phone as soon as i unlock the phone. I can touch the animation (clouds) and it stops but does slow the phone down. I'm confused. I might try and uninstall them even though i don't use them and see if that makes a difference.

So i froze the discussed apps with titanium backup and guess what? It didn't work. More ideas anyone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

OK guys, found the culprit! Lol!
It was along the lines of the previous suggestions!
It was a weather widget extra add on(which again i don't use)that had the unlock animation ticked.
I totally forgot i installed it. Lol!
this thread can now be closed.
I would like to thank you all for your help and suggestions.

Mini & Mini Pro Setups. . .

I've always wondered how other people setup thier phones, what applications they use and how they have things set out. Not sure if you guys will follow but I started this so everyone can show a list of applications or even just a simple background screenshot of what they have on thier mini or mini pro.
Anyone know of a good screenshot application so I can post mine up lol

Wow!
How many memory did you get after these downloads?
What program do you use to get that Home Screen?
Thank's!
Err not sure about the memory, think it was between 37-50MB free (phone is being repaired atm)
I'm using ADW Launcher atm, but I'm gonna change to LauncherPro as soon as 2.1 is out.

Gonsi: In the very last screenshot which App is this? The one that lets you customize the unlock method?
My mini pro
It's my Screen's and available RAM after start up
I was thinking the same thing, are you running an app or is that a full re-theme, your status bar seems to be somewhat different than anything I've come across for the Mini/Mini Pro? Also, what app are you running to tell you call time and message counters?

[Q] Phone not showing up in launcher?

Okay so I recently just flashed Ineffabilis-Deus v1.02 and am loving it. I had the phone icon in my dock and accidentally deleted it. I then went in to the app drawer to put it back on my home screen and could not find it. When I search it in google search, it comes up and I can launch it, but it just doesn't show up in my app drawer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Here are some screens:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

On stock there are some hidden apps and I used the app Any Cut to make shortcuts for them. Perhaps you can use that.
Those hidden apps were visible in ADW Launcher though, so if you have another launcher installed try that first.

Thanks! I have the stock ICS launcher and Nova Laucher and the Phone.apk shows up in their app drawers, but not Sense's, which is really weird.

I'm pretty sure they hide it because on a stock phone they have the phone tab on the home screen already. Just an idea.

We're talking about the phone app, not the one you admire yourself in constantly.
Actually, in stock it is hidden as well. I had made a shortcut before getting a custom ROM so I could check my face for chocolate and blueberries since my coworkers won't say anything.

How do I get rid of this icon? It's annoying. Anytime I have to type something its there.... It happened a few days after I install SwiftKey and even if I un install SwiftKey and use samsung keyboard it is still there.... I remember when I used aokp rom this would happen but there was a disable icon in settings.... Can't find it here.

This is due to ICS. AFAIK you can't remove it.
good thing they gave us a notification to let us know when the keyboard was open. i would be so lost without it.
/sarcasm
Find the corresponding icon in either the systemui or framework-res and replace it with a empty icon.

it's there to allow you to switch input methods. i use it quite often going between Swype, stock and Japanese.
Sent from my Galaxy S III
Exactly, I have certain apps that don't play well with Swype as the input method so it's nice to be able to quickly switch to stock.
How is an icon annoying? Why are you even looking at it if you're typing currently?
Because I know what keyboard I'm using.... If I wanted to change it I would go to settings.... Not go to my task bar. I don't want to be reminded of it every time I type... And saying why are you looking at it? Don't be stupid. That area is for notifications not useless icons. Would u want a camera icon there when you used camera, Gmail, etc???? No you would not.

If it ain't ics it won't show or if is a rooted rom too, also it only appears when you have multiple keyboards I believe (stock ics doesn't show until you install another keyboard.)

I hate this icon with a burning passion. God forbid I'm not otherwise informed that the keyboard is open! Ugh... makes me wanna exit to the home screen before I lock the screen so I don't have to see the stupid icon.
Ikr I hate this too but I stopped caring after a while
Apparently if you touch it you can change your keyboard
It was such easier when all you had to do was hold the text box

MIUI but Stock Samsung Lockscreen

Hi SGS3 friends,
i have a weird problem..
after i flashed my Samsung Galaxy S3 from MIUI 2.7.13 to MIUI 2.7.15 (galmod) i have set some samsung unice settings, like s-voice and so on.
as i wanted to test the functionality of samsungs unice settings for MIUI i changed some setting for the lockscreen, like the clock, weather and so on.
but now, i have the samsung touchwizz lockscreen and i cant reset to the MIUI lockscreen, which i prefer.
or maybe i dont find the correct settings.
even after reflashing (no wipe) no difference.
restoring my backup from last week would be my last try, but i would prefer something else.
can please somebody give me a hint, how to change the lockscreen to the MIUI ones?
thanks in advance!
Samsung Bloatware is the problem.
I believe its because of the Samsung Launcher "TouchWiz" which is somehow present in your System/App folder.
Just delete the same and check..

For me there's no button or such to uncheck Samsung lockscreen. there's just the lockscreen settings menu :-(

Afaik miui and touchwizz don`t mix. You can`t use samsung software on miui or cm9. Do a full wipe including system format and reflash miui.
Mate, tell me you've gone into the theme app......... this is where you customise each individual part of an miui theme including the lock screen.

The galaxy s3 miui is based on Samsung framework. Everything that works on the Sammy roms should work on this too.

Have I been hacked?

Hi people today I updated an icon pack app from the play store which I have been using for some time called Immaterialis. Some time after the update I noticed the app drawer icon for this app changed to the android robot head and then something really weird happened on my home screen. My dropbox app icon changed to a Darth Vader head which tripped me out because my wallpaper is a star wars wallpaper. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it with titanium and it went away after a cache clear and reboot through twrp.
I'm sure its quite possible that this Darth Vader situation is unrelated to the icon pack update but I just can't get my head around it and I thought maybe my dropbox had been hacked.
I run several modules with exposed and basically any root mods I can without my phone spazzing out so I'm sure there is a number of factors that could be causing this issue, however I don't have any star wars themes etc other than the occasional wallpaper I import myself.
If someone could give me any info as I can't find anything on Google.
I have attached photos to show what system I am running and screenshots of the app drawer and home screen showing the Darth Vader head.
Cheers.

If someone was really hacking you, they would have completely been dicking with you, or stole all your **** without you knowing. Try a different launcher for the time being. And if you're really dead set on being hacked, use wireshark and see what goes where.

Cheers, don't you think the Darth Vader icon is a bit weird? I don't keep much in my dropbox anyway so they couldn't get much. I'm not overly paranoid about being hacked it just seems strange.
I'm only using stock launcher. How would a different launcher make a difference to security?
Cheers.

No doubt it's weird. But trying a different launcher would be to see if the icon is still applied. Of course, there is the possibility of one of your friends just messing with you
