First of all hello to everyone
I'd like to know something about galaxy s 2 home rotation.
I've bought this device yesterday.It is branded (the operator name is 3) and i have updated it to the latest firmware (2.3.5 trough kies).Now i have the base band version I9100NEKI2 and the build version gingerbread.XWKI8.I haven't noticed befroe upgrading if the home automatically rotates with the device...i have noticed that the rotation happens in any other situations such as writing sms..modifying settings...i'd like to know if this is the standard behaviuor for this device..for example is a limitation of thr new firmware ... or someone can help me understanding if i have made something wrong?i have to use 3d party apps for doing this? Thanks to everyone
Do you mean how to prevent auto rotation? It's located in the drag down notification panel or in the settings..

Reading his post he must be italian.
Well home screen does not rotate.
TW doesn't allow home rotation.
If you want to do that you just have to install another launcher from the market (Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, ...)

I upgraded from Overcome v2.1.1 to v2.2.0 and it is no longer possible to set the lock screen wallpaper. In the Screen setting when I select the Lock screen wallpaper it sets the Home screen wallpaper instead.
Anyone else have this problem?

Nope, this problem use to be in resent versions but solved in 2.2.0, for me at least.

I would but I don't have enough posts to be able to reply in that section.
The lock screen wallpaper can be set if I select an image from the gallery. When I did that it set the wallpaper but the device crashed and reboot itself when I rotated at the lock screen.
I did have Widgetlocker installed when I upgraded the Overcome ROM. I'm guessing it may have screwed up something with the Screen settings menu. I've uninstalled that app but it made no difference.
Look issues in @alterbridge post:
"Unable to set lockscreen wallpaper from android 3.2.2 launcher (use the TW launcher patch if you require this functionality)"
My question is:
Are you sure that you install twlauncher patch?

It is possible to set the lock screen wallpaper from the gallery so I probably won't use the twlauncher patch.

Have you got this solved?
i believe the patch will definetely solve this. I had this issue with lock screen in 2.1.1 version and I had to install the patch and it worked fine after that but what didn't work was the calendar, social hub, ebook and facebook videos on facebook app. even though i applied the patch available then.
I am still looking for solution to the above and tonight I am upgrading to 2.2 . fingers crossed - hope it sorts out all the above.
experienced the exact same issue that you mentioned.
cant change the lock screen picture and when try to change from settings>screen> it changes the HOME screen BG.
This is a complete wipe OC 2.2 rom install.
I didnt want to apply the TW launcher patch and had no choice as I want to be able to change the lock screen graphics. After the patch it works fine.
But i want it to work without TW launcher.Any one would know if it is possible to remove the TW launcher patch and revert back to original OC2.2
btw the OC2.2 is perfectly smooth!!! love it and Big thanks to the dev team.
hello everybody ... i hope some can help me
i hate the stock samsung lock screen but i love android revolution HD.
because of that i am looking for a mod which brings the stock android lockscreen with customizible shortscuts to
your camera, browser, whats app and so on...
i browsed a bit in google and here in the forums but i havent found anything.
i am sure there is a mod like this but i cant find it :laugh:
i hope you can help me
widget locker
Widget locker is a good option, but it doesn't work properly with S3.
Many small issues which make it unusable for me.
1) If you wake your phone withing 5 secs, you'll see an annoying toast notification.
2) It can be easily unlocked using Home button, unlike the stock one.
3) If you have a rooted device, point 2 can be overcome. However then if you are in home screen (tried with Nova) and you press Home button again you'll see a small refresh of launcher. This is because of the workaround.
So I would advice you to not buy it.
JKay is another option
thank you ... ykay is almost perfect
i would like a JB style lock screen which is customizible ... but this one is fine too
you can customize the lockscreen if you buy his app
i bought his app but there doesent seem to be any customazitation for the stock JB lockscreen available ... only for the ICS one
Hi, I have a Galaxy S II HD LTE E120S, Build number: ir2.E120SKSJMK1 by Kynn. The ROM I've used before is ir2-v2 which has the option in Setting to enable Shortcuts in Locksreen but since I updated to the newer ROM I've downloaded from a Chinese forum that option has been somewhat disappeared (I've tried all the methods I could find on the Internet including changing from Pattern to Swipe and None and such but the option didn't show up). I've also tried updating to the stock ROM directly from Kies (which has the same build number) but the option didn't appear either (just like Samsung hides it on purpose).
All I want is that that option is back so that I can add Camera shortcuts for fast access, and using a third-party lockscreen just slows the phone down. I've already tried the Nova Launcher method (like in this link) but didn't work because "Shortcuts (.lockscreenshortcut.locscreenshortcutsettings)" didn't show up in Activities.
So is there a way to edit some files in system folder (I have root) so that I can enable shortcuts or any other ways to copy the lockscreen shortcuts enabling option from ir2.v2 ROM to this ROM? (I prefer this ROM to ir2.v2 because it's less laggy and battery consuming). These two ROMs are somewhat the same so will it be possible?
Thanks in advance. Sorry for my bad English.
Hey guys,
I'm using the AOSB 1.2.8 Kitkat 4.4.2 on my i9100G and firstly, I gotta say it's really nice!
I'm having some customizations issues tho...
for one, I didn't find how to increase the number of home screens. Is it capped at 3 with the launcher3 homescreen? can I have more if I use the google one? just need to switch and restart the phone then?
Secondly, I love that feature to access ur notifications and apps quickly from the lockscreen but sadly you can't combine this with any kind of security. I've tried pattern, PIN and so on, but then the lock screen features are gone. It's basically one or the other. any fix/trick on that?
and finally, a noob question but is there a way to get a notification upon the birthday of someone in your contact list?
thanks everyone for ur help,
wedgy
For your first question.. To add another screen you can try to drop an app to a non existent desktop and the launcher automatically creates another screen.
Or try Nova launcher, it's beautiful.

Hi, i just bought a Chinese dash cam/rear view mirror on amazon, i think its made by phisung
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P7G994A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
it works well, but the android system is quite dated (4.0.4), and some of the setting are missing or dont work such as brightness adjustment.
so far i've rooted it using kingo and installed titanium and root explorer, and backed up the existing partitions using adb, but what i'm quite keen to do is modify the main launcher screen. at present i cant change the 7 apps on the main windows phone style launcher screen and I want to replace them with alternatives or replace the launcher.
I've sideloaded nova and a couple of other launchers, but whilst I can load them from the app draw, there is no option to set a new default launcher, and the home button always loads the pre-installed launcher, which is some chinese launcher listed as DX_launcher02 in the app draw and daxun.launcher.activity in system/ app folder, I've tried apps like launcher switcher, which have no effect on the default as the options is greyed out.
I've also tried freezing the built in launcher with Titanium, thinking it might then default to nova, but the home button( both hardware and soft buttons) then just loads a blank screen, so I used the recent app menu to go back to titanium and unfreeze the stock launcher.
I'm suspecting there might be a more complicated way to change the launcher, either by editing apk properties and changing the default app to point the shortcuts/tiles to new apps, or by setting a new default launcher, so if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated?
My friend bought exact same model.
He has problem with auto shutdown. Navigating or not - recording or not - there will be pop up that countdowns 10sec auto shutdown.
To abort shutdown - touch the screen. And of course - touching the screen doesn't help.
Have you found any solution for this?
5" Mirror DashCam
Hi I do not know too much about this Android device, but I bought one (Crane_cvr) frm Tingway and it was full of Chinese software. Trying to delete it was not successful and loading Google Play was impossible. The sellers sent me an "new" h200-2.img file which I installed with Phoenixsuite. However, my functionality of the GPS disappeared. I have even connected another working GPS, to no prevail. Since it seems you have lot more knowledge, do you have an idea how I can get the GPS working? I have now been trying for 2 months. GPS Toolbox / Test / etc .. do not pick up any satellites, but it seems the GPS is detected.
Thanks in advance
