I received my Xperia S today and am very happy....
a couple of things I noticed...
1) on the status switch there is no battery percentage remaining. Is there some other widget or shortcut that has it? I know I can go to Settings/about phone/status. I want it on my homepage.
2) I notice with the email that I can set up multiple accounts. This is fine. On my Arc it would show both accounts and on the right side would be a folder. I could tap the folder and it would open the email account and go to the folder display. Now email just shows the accounts. When I tap the accounts it goes to the inbox and i have to hit settings and then folders to bring up the folder display. Not a big deal but different. Anyone else notice this or a workaround?
Thanks.
For the battery, I installed Go Power.
For battery percentage,you can use 'Battery Indicator"

Thanks for that I'm on o2 and can't root mine and that's one of the things I've missed on my custom roms on my HD2(percentage indicator)
Works like a charm

Well, I tried and failed.. if someone comes across this, please PM me if you have some nice icons that will fill a page as if it were a wallpaper (like the link in the OP).

If you use adw ex you can choose no icons in the ui main dock settings , put icons on the hidden dock so you can at least open your app launcher .when you remove the icons from the main dock ,you can then place widgets where the icons would have been. then use desktop visualizer icons/widgets to completely cover the home screen. Then put the "regular" icons on the hidden dock you can swype them up/down ,they will appear over the desktop visualizer icons ,and will work.( incase you dont want the empty looking dock option )you could put your launcher and like for or five icons there (on the hidden dock), the only problem I'm having is finding images that will look good as desktop visualizer icons

^ that is just stunning...
A few questions...
Anyone use the stock photo album widget? I have one on one of my screens for when my phone is in its dock at work. It works fine when it is in the dock bc It's charging, and I have it set to keep the screen on when charging. However, when it is out of the dock, and the screen goes off, when I turn it back on, the most recent image is all it shows and it will not go into rotation. I have to open it back up and say "OK" to my selected pictures to get it working again. I don't have any battery saving or task killing aps, so I know I don't accidentally have it set to auto end on screen off. All I have is the stock Samsung Task Manager.
Know of any fixes for this? Maybe try another widget like it on the market?
Also, I came from an Atrix and they had a task manager that I just simply loved. It was smooth and simple and I could add what I wanted to an auto end list. As far as I know, Samsungs T.M. doesn't allow this, and all the apps I find on the market do more than I want it to. I don't want something like Juice defender or what not. Just something simple that allows me to put stuff in an auto end list when screen goes blank. Does stock Samsung T.S. do this and I am just not seeing it? Any 3rd party apps you suggest for this function?
Last thing... Know of any widgets that ACCURATELY show info like CPU speed and temp that is transparent? I like a very materialistic look and I am not liking the black background of the Antutu widgets.
Something that would look good with this...

Hi, good afternoon in Malaysia. Well about round battery, i did some changes but i didn't upload into my thread because of few reasons:
1) Battery icon size fixed in DonutHD is 22x38(more suitable for LongBattery Icon).Or not, won't show up at all in status bar. But Will look like Oval instead of Round. Like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Trying to maintain its ratio and fit status bar, but came out too small when looking at it, like this: View attachment 1133400
So i'm looking forward for Status bar and SystemUI changes. Only can be made by developer. I'm just image editor.
And about music player in Lockscreen, you may ask senior alzbac DonutHD developer. So far i know about the ROMs that support that in x10 are: MoKEE, CyanogenMod and AOKP
Hope helps,
whitefang
If this convinces/helps, pls kindly hit thanks button alright

Hi everyone..
I'm looking for an app, widget or anything you can think of, style appsi, sidecontrol or any other quick launch app, that can be activated through a shortcut or any other way beside gesture... From my experience both of these apps are the most usefull and efficient apps of there kind. You can add favorite app, contacts, toggels or practikly anything you would like. The thing is that for me personally, being able to activate them only via gesture is quite annoying. I find myself accidently triggering it, or facing bugs. Appsi hasn't released anything for a while, so I guess that the project is over. And sidecontrol has bugs and doesn't work well on my lg g3. Does anybody know something else like theme?
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post, and of course for your help....
You can try SwipePad app.

Sounds simplistic, but why not just put your apps, shortcuts, etc in a folder?

Swipe pad is launched by a gesture, and is rather limited than appsi or sidecontrol...

Because that to access everything you need to go the home screen. I'm looking for something you can access these features from anywhere..
The home screen is just one big menu that has hot key access via the center of the navbar.
I can access it from anywhere by hitting the home key. I can return to any app I've started via the recents key.
Your view of how your menu should work is the same as this. In your app you hotkey access from anywhere. So do I. You would have categories to establish multiple menu levels. So do I. You need to return to the app you were in. So do I.
Mine is just reinventing what we already have. Yours requires additional code and system resources. I'm using mine and you're still looking.
Point taken...
Hi Ppl,
I just updated my Honor 7 to MM with EMUI 4.0 and there are too many little changes.
But most important is that the simple option of graph to check the battery usage i.e. which app / screen / process is using maximum battery is draining how much battery; its gone from the settings.
Now, we are supposed to take a lloooonnnnggg route for this basic need.
Use the app phone manager and follow a hell lot of steps to enter a screen which shows separate hardware and software usage.
Do you know any basic app that can help me here?
I want something like this which is no more available on EMUI 4.0

You can use a launcher like Nova and set up a shortcut to go straight to the battery setting.

Well, I'm saying that there is no battery option in settings. Hence, it's not about the launcher but the feature itself

In phonemanager goto settings (icon on top left corner) and select SHORTCUTS (first option). There you can create a desktop shortcut directly to the batterymanager on your homescreen

I'm saying that you can use a launcher to get to that screen. It still exists so you just need to create a shortcut to it.
