[Q] I really like the lock screen from stock gingerbread - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks,
I had a stock rom, 353, on my streak earlier today, and I really like the buttons on the stock PIN lock screen, they are large. When I installed StreakDroid the button are now much smaller, that is they are half as tall.
Is there a way for me to go the original button back? Maybe an APK or something?
Thanks,
Alperin1

It sounds like you changed the DPI setting when you installed GingerStreak. Either reinstall it with the default DPI setting or better yet, change ROMs to one that is still being maintained.

[Q] Notification toggles question.

Hello everyone. This is my first post, and I apologize if this is in the wrong place. There isn't (I believe) a forum for my specific device. I have a Samsung Exhibit 4g. It's rooted, but just has stock TouchWiz UI. As far as I know it isn't possible to flash roms and mods to the device safely(?) However I want to know if there is some way to edit the stock TouchWiz toggles on the notifications pull down. Or just remove them all together and use a third party app instead. Basically I just want to replace the bluetooth and the volume toggles as I never use those. Is this possible through editing the xmls? Is there an .apk I can delete?
This is my first Android device and all the information has kind of been overwhelming. Any help would be very appreciated!
You're not going to have much control over anything unless you are rooted, and/or using custom software. CM7 has customisable Notification Toggles for example.
Otherwise there are apps, i.e Widgetsoid or Extended Control that you can get from the Market to give you customisable toggles.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Like I said in the original post, I'm rooted but there isn't anyway to flash roms onto the Exhibit just yet. That's why I want to know is there someway I can edit touchwiz itself through the xmls or something.

[Q] Theming On Galaxy SII

Well, I've looked around a lot and I can't find much clear instructions so I figure this post won't be only beneficial to me. I've rooted my GS2 and flashed a few roms and stuff, but I can never get some of the UI elements to my liking. There's always one or two things that's missing from one ROM, that's there in another, but that one misses something from the previous. Anyway, I'd really appreciate some help in learning to theme my GSII. I just got rid of CM7 #116 and went to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168836&page=942
CriskeloRom V38. It's pretty nice but I'd like to change some of the icons and stuff. Firstly I'd like to change the battery icon, the wifi and edge icon, and maybe the icons in the notification bar. Also what I'd REALLY love is to figure out how to add my own animations or transitions and stuff. I've always been jealous of how smooth iPhones seem to be because of the transitions they have. And the overscroll bounce has been disabled, I'd also like to add that back. I think some of these things can be done thru JKay mod, but I'm not sure how and I don't wanna go around flashing stuff that I'm clueless about. All helps is appreciated, thanks a lot guys Oh and forgot to mention, I'd also like to know how to increase the number of apps shown in the recent apps
Read a lot, or get an iphone

Yeah, I have been. I'm not finding much info, hence the reason I'm asking a question. I'm not illiterate. I was just hoping some more experienced users could point me in the right direction since I'm still fairly new to this.

you can enable the overscroll bounce with jkay deluxe settings. you can disable it if you want. regarding animations or transitions again you need to find a rom that supports them..look around in the threads and you will find roms that have them.heck themes now add them so if you want to flash a rom and then flash ics theme you are guaranteed to have what you are after...so here is what i would do in your situation:
either get go launcher from market. It gives so you so many options regarding animations or transitions between homescreens and app screens. that is what i am currently using. then no need to flash a rom since the launcher gives you all that
second. go into jkay thread and read on how the settings work and read the changelog
third find a rom and then a theme to suit your needs
Its the Devs and Themers that have that information but they tend not to read the Q&A or General section .
General section of XDA.com may have more info .

Thanks for the reply i tried enabling it but the option is there, and also there aren't any of the overscroll bounce packages available for XXKL1 as far as I've read.. I'm using a rom with an ICS theme and a few transitions right now but I thought it'd be cool to customise them how i like. I'll need to read a bit more about JKay though. I like Widget Locker but last time I tried it, I got bad battery drain. Think I'll give it a go again and see though.

Thank you. I'll try looking more in that section or maybe ask my question there if anything

Go launcher is a good shout but if you're really a big theme fan, flash a miui rom. I recommend galnet personally. Enjoy!

Try looking in the android dev threads. Lots of theming info and tools to decompile/recompile etc.
See how you go from there.

[Q] ICS recent apps in GB-Style for faster app-change

I find the new ICS recent app-style is quite laggy. Is there a way or can anybody make a MOD to get the old and fast gingerbread-style back?
I think that cannot be that difficult.
DEVELOPERS, HELP!
It's still there, some Xperia T statusbar mods had it when you clicked the recent app icon, but the home button behaved like in ICS. I don't know a way how to enable it with the home button.
You're posting in the wrong section though.
Please post questions in the stuck Q&A section. Thanks!

[Q] Whats the best mod/theme/solution for me?

Hi all! now i understand that threads debating the 'Best' ROM, theme, app, mod or setting arent something XDA is fond of, but thats not the particular reason I'm here, I've looked through countless threads in the mod/theme section and I'm wondering if someone can help me find the best solution for me. I'm relatively technically minded and a half-decent IT worker but I will openly admit when it comes to development/flashing, I'm one to follow instructions to the letter to get what I need up and working, but never learn the deeper workings.
I've an unbranded i9300 which I've had flashed with CM 10/10.1 and have kept updating with nightlies, but now I seek to branch out and find a ROM that will allow me the super-stability, additional working features (Allshare Cast [in particular], NFC, multi-view) of the stock Samsung image. I've since flashed philz custom touch recovery, and then proceeded to flash Sotmax Jelly Bean Ultimate Stock V10 available here. Its provided all the features I want, working, a good kernel and some customizability but the cartoony, colourful Samsung visuals are the reason I flashed from stock in the first place.
Can anyone help me find anything I can add to my device to get me a stock 4.1.2 lock screen, dropdown/notifications, launcher and settings? Essentially as much of the UI from CM10.1 as possible. I flashed Domination 1.4.3 as it looked and seemed perfect - but didn't change the lockscreen, and i started noticing lots of lag when scrolling/opening apps instantly. Is it thoroughly incompatible with the ROM im looking to use, or have i done something wrong along the way?
If this is a noob thread i do apologize but these forums can be so cluttered and misorganized to someone unused to searching through them that it can be hard to find something - if you dont know exactly what it is you need.

So you want some features from Samsung stock rom (camera, NFC, default framework and drivers), but the look of original 4.1.2 (CM10)?
I want this too!
Use any Sammy rom and use holo locker and holo launcher HD from play store for the vanilla android look

Thank you, i'll be checking those two out!
Ive since found the Null ROM here and it also seems to be exactly what we want/need from scratch, a mix of 4.1.2, Samsung Features, and a CM/AOKP look and feel. Still missing that lock screen though. Holo locker is the look that i desire - but it seems to lag when switching on, the normal homescreen displays for up to a second before it reverts to the lock. odd..
I use UltimaRom for same reason.
I wanted to use some of samsung apps but with look and feel of CM10.
And UltimaRom provides that. It also let me choose which samsung I want to keep and which I want to get rid of to keep my phone faster.
Ultima looks excellent! Thanks for the recommendation, nice boot loaders too and excellent file/mod support on his site

take a look at the null rom. Perfect for all your needs.

[Q] Moving wallpaper

First of all I just want to say that I'm a newbie at the whole
Root and Custom Rom scene. So please don't judge me for
asking a newbie question.
I rooted and installed AOKP 4.3.1 on my GT-i9300 yesterday.
I'm really loving all the customization options and root access.
But I bumped in sort of an issue. I changed the wallpaper to a picture
I've taken a while back. The wallpaper keeps scrolling from left to right
and vice versa. Is there a way to disable this wallpaper scrolling so that
I can have a wallpaper thats the same on all homescreens? I've looked
in all the customization options but can't seem to find it. Maybe I'm
overlooking, but can someone please tell me if there's a way?
Got another quick question. How do I change the number of homescreens?
Thanks for your replies!
