1. Goto system settings, sound
2. You can sync contacts with your google account or export the contacts to vcf file and manually send to your google account
3. i dont think you can do that..
4. Theres a bootanimation in /system

For the keyboard go into the settings for whichever one you are using and there is an option to turn off vibrate on key press... Don't think there is an option for the lock screen.
For the contacts picture unless you know how to go in and change the .png's yourself, the only other option may be to try one of the themed apk's in the theme's forum that have a different color for the default contact.

I have one question about ICS too...
How to change app drawer from horizontal pages to vertically oriented, using the default launcher? I used ADW before, but the default ICS launcher looks fine to me... for now
Also, there's how to increase the number of slots for shortcuts and widgets in home - in the default launcher too?

How can I make it so when I press "Messaging" icon, it opens another app?

Hey.
I use another sms app and I want to make it so when I press "Messaging" icon which is on the main screen to open that app rather than the stock messaging app....?
I know I can drag the stock icon to the home screen, but I like the stock messaging icon and want to use that for this app......
please let me know
edit read wrong
Download the app Desktop Visualizer and use that instead
- nvm thought you could do it this way but it's not working for the icon -
Long-press home screen to get to the menu
Custom shortcut -> Applications -> Pick your activity (in this case: your alternate SMS app like Handcent or Chomp)
Press the logo on the left of "Pick your activity" and change it to the default Messaging icon
thanks, but looks like it would not use the default launcher, but it will use launcherpro or any other launcher.......

[Q] MIUIWiz 1.1 Lockscreen Issues?

My phone reboots everytime I slide the MIUIWiz lockscreen down using the text icon (right most). Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how I can fix it?
You probably need to set the messaging app.
In the Settings menu, simply go to TSM Parts -> Lockscreen Settings -> Custom App, and choose the app and you should be good to go You don't have to assign it to a messaging app either; anything you could assign to a homescreen shortcut is possible.

Thanks for the reply! I couldn't get it to display any messaging app in the TSM. I get some apps listed, but not the GOSMS that came with the Rom. The phone slider, music, and lock/unlock work perfectly fine, it's just the messaging.

Any way to replace stock message tab on 4-tab lock screen?

I use go sms instead of the stock text message app, but when I unlock the screen on the 4-tab lock screen it takes me to the stock messenger app. Is there any way to link the go sms app to the lock screen instead of the stock messenger app? I really don't like widgetlocker or any other lockscreen app.
Go to app settings and find the stock messaging app and do clear defaults, then the next time you use the tab to unlock your phone it should ask you to assign a new default.

It says no default set and the button is greyed out so I can't clear anything
Any other suggestions

[Q] Replacing an app with a widget on taskbar

Hello,
I just recently got the GS3(not rooted, stock everything) and was wondering if the apps located on the bottom taskbar and also the apps shortcuts located on the lock screen can be replaced with a widget? The reason I ask is because of the stock messaging app. The one good feature about this app is that on the lock screen it'll let you know how many unread messages you have by showing a number on the icon for the app. However, I'm not a fan of the app itself(regarding how it interprets picture messages) therefore I've installed GO SMS which was my messaging app from my old Incredible. Unfortunately if you replace the stock messaging app with the GO SMS app on the bottom taskbar and lock screen it will not show how many missed messages you have on the GO SMS icon. However, if you just place the GO SMS widget on any screen the widget will show how many missed messages you have. I've tried all options I can think of but when you drag a widget down to the taskbar it won't go in like the app would nor do I have the option of putting a widget on the lock screen(settings/lock screen/lock screen options/shortcuts). Any suggestions or would this require a root?
Thanks
not in the stock launcher or lockscreen.
you can use Nova and widget locker

LockScreen Mulitple Widgets on 1 screen

I know how to set up widgets, i have mail, text and gmail. The problem i am having is that when i get a new text message or missed call, it defaults to the stock 1st lock screen where it says "1 Messaging" "1 Missed Call".. Both without details. I would like to know how to get a Gmail and Messaging widget on the first lock screen to see what the message says and what my new Gmail message reads or missed calls, etc.
i can not figure out how to get more that 1 widget on each screen. Also how to remove the default "1 Messaging" notification screen.. Make sense?
It is my understanding that you can only have one widget per screen

With the default lockscreen you can only have one widget at a time. You can get around this by installing another lockscreen app like WidgetLocker Lockscreen.
You could also use DashClock which gives better information than the default lockscreen clock. To see more info you just swipe down and there it is.
To get that working on the default lock screen you need install DashClock and then go in to Settings/MyDevice/Lock screen and click on Multiple widgets. Now go back to the lock screen and pull down and then scroll to the left to the big plus sign. Tap on that and choose DashClock. It will now appear on your lock screen. Setup the notification that you want via DashClock. Now remove the original widget by tapping and holding on it and then drag it up to the garbage can.
Hope this helps you.

Even though you can setup Dashclock this way, it still hides almost all the information until you pull back down again to the screen edit mode.
The stock touch wiz lockscreen sucks. Widgets are clumsy if you use security. The app based lockscreens are all too buggy. Maybe someone will get the AOSP lockscreen working.
