First like to thank everyone who worked on this! Especially for getting it out so quickly.
For the most part everything has been working really well. Using this as a daily driver right now.
Couple questions I have though. I am running the apex launcher that was included as well as the MIUI lockscreen. About 25% of the time when I turn the phone on I get the stock lock screen then the miui lockscreen. tried disabling the stock lock screen. that worked until I rebooted the phone then i had no lock screen at all. Re-enabling the swipe locksceen brought it back but still get the stock swipe away screen randomly. Guessing this is an issue that will have to wait to be resolved with a custom ROM?
Also having an issue with apex. Sometimes when hitting the home button from any app it goes to a completely blank screen. I can see my wallpaper but that's it. Have to hit home again to actually get to home screen.
Anyone can point me in the right direction to turn haptic feedback off on the keyboard? I can't seem to find the option anywhere.
One last thing I'm noticing, when I'm scrolling with the s pen in the browser, it just randomly zooms in. Im sure I'm not hitting the button or double tapping. Anyone else getting this?
Thanks,
Shrubbry

Since you didn't specify WHICH keyboard...those buttons are the settings fit each keyboard
Also remember, it's an alpha build, based off of a leaked firmware, that the leak itself has bugs in, a completely bug free experience isn't to be expected
I can help with the blank homescreen issue, I think. Goto Apex Settings / Homescreen. You will see options to set the number of screens AND, which screen you want to make your DEFAULT screen (when you hit the home key). Set that screen to one that's not blank, (the one you use the most) and I think that will fix that issue. As far as miui locker, I have not had that issue your describing, yet.

Sorry for not being specific. I'm still using the only keyboard that came stock. The Samsung one. A little bummed that ICS didn't come with.... The ICS keyboard. Need to work on getting that on there later today. At work right now. I checked all the settings in the Samsung keyboard and couldn't find it. Possible that I am blind. My wife tells me I am all the time when I can't fins stuff in the fridge...

Thanks for this tip. I think it fixed it. So fat so good. Will update if it does it again. A little weird though. I wasn't actually going to one of my blank screens. When it did it I couldn't scroll out of the blank screen. Had to hit home again. I set it to screen 1 and it hasn't done it since.

Exited chrome with a single tap on the home button and it went to a blank screen with just my background. No amount of swiping, tapping or long press on the screen gets me out of there. Just have to hit home again.

Yep, I'm having exactly the same 'Missing Homes-Screen' issue with my HTC one X and Apex.
Unfortunately, pressing the Home button does nothing for me... I have to restart to get the Apex Homescreen to display.
alpha II issue
I am having power down issues it freezes and also when I try to restart .Everything is great other then this part.
This issue should not be on alpha 2.......i could restart and reboot many times with no issue what so ever. but now that i am on the Collective build 4 i do have the issues that you speak of. i just hold the power button to do a reboot now you can use the hotboot options if needed.
alpha II
when to phone settings and i was correct its alpha II. any suggestions? ??

anyone here in the community an ADW Launcher user? If so, what am i missing in terms of switching to the hidden Dock bar? checked settings out, swiped over the Dockbar in every whichaway, cleared data / reviewed logcats, all several times etc (as one should do before starting a thread here lol). Developer's email is non-functional lol. I must be missing something. Anyone else having similar results
Thanks for your time

Whats wrong with your posts? There is text (on top of) overwriting text, hard to read
The hidden dock bar was removed from adw ex (and I would guess regular adw as well) in the last update. I wish the dev would bring it back, but according to him the vast majority of users prefer the single dock bar setup he has gone to...

I really could not stand the hidden dock bar... I kept bringing it up on accident. I believe there was an option in the last version that had it though that allowed for it to be disabled? I see no reason why it should not be included, but I would prefer it be disabled by default.

I can definitely respect your opinion sir!!!! I wish he would make the same provisions as i have been a long time ADW user, and big fan, and i sure miss using it. i personally loved the hidden dockbar, and i would not mind one bit enabling it in the settings, but for Christ's sakes if it ain't broke brother don't fix the s$#t.
Is this the option you're referring to?

So the dock was hidden and you had to use a gesture to make it appear or it was hidden as in disabled?
Hidden as it is here ...
No sir, if you read the OP well you'll see what i am missing is the ability to chose from the "Main" Dock & the hidden dock. And the ability to transition from one to the other. Not to make the dock dissappear altogether.
Sorry.
Haven't used ADW enough to know that was a feature.
No worries mate

Amplified, I have a semi-workaround at the moment. I am using circle launcher as a hidden dock for the apps I used to put in ADW hidden dock. I keep a pretty clean home screen, so I set it up dead center of the screen, and set a custom transparent icon for the launcher. Closed, there is nothing visible, but one tap to open and I have about 14 apps right there. You might be able to do similar with wave launcher as well, but I haven't messed with that in quite a while...

Thanks brother. Very kind of you to offer a suggestion of that sort.
Cheers!
I miss the hidden dock too...
I'm a new user of EX, since the 10c discount.
But because of that kind of things, I still don't have set any of the as "default" when I hit the home button...
and worst.. most of the time I'm using ADW, not Ex.. thinking "come on jump to EX"... and when I try.. it's to discover there is no hidden dock anymore...
Yes, I know, nobody cares...
I second using Circle Launcher or Wave as an alternative. I saw this hidden dock feature in the video and thought it might replace wave launcher for me, and then was going crazy thinking I was missing something in settings. Too bad he didn't leave it as an option and just include a disable possibility.
Anyway, I have used circle launcher on my main homescreen much in the same way as described by the other member. But I also use Wave launcher and what's great about it is that it is accessible from any screen even when you have another app open. (If you use WidgetLocker as your lockscreen, then it's even accessible on that.) And it's entirely invisible and unlike Circle launcher no one could even accidentally discover it if they didn't know the gesture you set up for it.
Anyway, maybe the hidden bar will show back up as something you can enable or disable.
I love Wave Launcher in conjunction with Launcher Pro. I absolutely love being able to scroll through three sets of five icon docks at the bottom of any one of my home screens. I guess this is why we all love Android, there's pretty much something for everyone as far as customizations go.
I will be continually adding to them and Porting them to ROMs as they come and i Get time time port.
BUILT for DESENSED-ISH ICS 3.5 - 3.8
Haven't tested with 4.0 but you may lose some of Tachi's features/fixes.
First Off, Thanks to:
scrosler and Tachi = ROM
gogodu5sU = Nexus mods (used as reference)
fernando sor = Guide to Decompile framework-res and systemui
Dr. Carpenter = MODed Trebuchet launcher, and references
I have successfully enabled the navbar at the bottom of the screen. I have also worked to remap the buttons that are contained in the navbar.
That is the most apparent mod, although i have gone through and enabled (and disabled) some things to make the phone work as i would like it to.
List of what is included:
-Nav Bar
*remapped to have Power - Back - Home - Recent - Menu
-shrunk navbar to save space
-enabled 360 degree rotation in apps (and launcher - must enable it in your launcher)
-enabled rotation on the LockScreen (might take it out, its kinda glitchy)
-included the CM9 Trebuchet Launcher - ICS stock launcher with added functionality
-menu key bypasses slider unlock (will not by pass secure locks)

For Ineffabilis Senseless ROM:
MODS
So the MODs i was working on ended up becoming a new ROM based of Newts 4.0.3 Senseless ROM, here is a link to it, check it out if you so desire
Kanged Senseless
Issues:
The main issue i have noticed is that the background of the bar will sometimes be covered by other images that are rendered by the phone. that is not noticeable in most cases except the fact that the background does not seem to refresh, therefore the images stay down there and cause the bar to render incorrectly, the buttons will still work.
In most cases the way i fix it when this happens is to go back to the home screen and open the app drawer (only in stock ICS and trebuchet launcher) this will clear the images out.
if that does not work, i also can open an app and turn the phone sideways, rotates the screen, then press the home button again and the bar should be fixed.
This main issue i believe is related to the other rendering glitches we see (blurry status bar text, blue flashes) and will most likely be fixed when those issues are fixed.
Planned Updates:
-1% battery increments
-clock in middle of status bar
-theme navbar icons
*Also will be porting to other ICS ROMs
Changelog:
2-12-2012
-added support to Ineffabilis (slightly different features)
1/27/2012
-Initial release

It kinda does, but the stock launchers are pretty spread out so you don't notice it much. i have search, back, home, menu and lock screen in it now. but i can put just about any function in the phone into it i'm pretty sure, i have to play with that a lil more tonight.
but you are right, i'm sure that's why no one has done it yet, its not a hard mod lol
I wonder if there is a way to code a news ticker in there or something? Like the Samsung continuum

That would be pretty sweet, i can try to find the continuum source and see if i can figure out how it works.
also there is a launcher in the droidx forums that shrinks the dock to keep it right up close to the nav buttons, i'm going to see if that will install on the rezound ok and if not, i'll try to figure out how he did it and add it in
That will save space some

the continum has a whole separate screen. But it would be cool if we could partition it to do that.

This is an old version of the launcher and it works fine. Some of the customization doesn't. But the launcher itself works very well. And you get a couple customization like rotation and taking the search thing off.

I love this mod. Turning off the softkey lights would be great, but I also have another idea for a mod:
A mod that turns the softkey search button into a recent apps button.
I know that holding the home button takes you to the recent apps, but it's annoying how long it takes. I personally don't use the search button ever, and would not miss it at all. And maybe for those who do use the search button: make the search button recent apps, but long press it for search.

looks like for now...You just have to either use the widget...or long press the menu button.
BTW...since i don't use S Voice...disabling the double tap cause no lag when hitting home now. B-)

Google search widget?
Hey fellow galaxy s3 owners! Hoping you can help me find the google voice search widget to put on my home screen on the gs3. Neither me or my wife think S Voice works as good as Google Voice Search but I cannot find the widget on either of our phones. I know I can put the long search bar but I just wanted the mic button. Thanks for your help!
Forgot to mention both phones are using Go Launcher EX and are not rooted.

I know about the search bar. What I am looking for is just the microphone widget by itself. I don't want the large search bar taking up that much room.
I kinda figured out a work around for just displaying the Microphone widget. Add the full length bar widget like in jgalan14's screenshot and then resize it down to a 1x1. Doesn't look great but at least the google voice search widget is on my screen for easy access without having that large bar.
Copy and pasted my post from another forum that was only about an hour ago..
I was bored and started playing with the google voice search to see what kind of quick answers it would give me at the top of google..to see if it could be a google now lite or something. It did alright.
Then I thought...hey why not give Svoice another shot?
I'll click search the web
umm...this looks odd...i'll click view desktop version
I guess this wouldn't be that bad....if i could actually zoom out and make the text smaller...which i can't do.
Holy ****. :bowrofl: I said the first time I used it there has to be some kind of settings error or something thats not allowing this thing to work. It couldn't tell me how tall Lebron James is, kept cutting me off, told me there was a network error after i asked it to turn wifi off. The first two times I asked it to turn wifi off, it asked me who i wanted to call. It sometimes missed or even added simple words I never even said (the, of, or etc) Couldn't understand basic words, made Corvette plural....If you click search the web even the google webpage is all fubar. All zoomed in and you can't really change it or make it look right. Basically looks like viewing google on a phone from 5 years ago. Not to mention sometimes the app becomes unresponsive to the voice command. I sat there and said my unlock command 30 diffrent times in every different tone and volume you could imagine until i finally just hit the button.
Holy hell this has to be the worst app ever made lol

Maybe install Vlingo and use it's widget? I think it has a microphone widget.
I cannot remember if you can tell Vlingo to use Google search though.

this has to be the worst app i've ever used.
I've been playing with it the last few minutes sitting here wondering how in THEE HELLLLL did they get it to work so well on stage? And it wasn't *that* bad in the demo's...it passed the woodchuck test even.
I can confidently say this thing will give you an answer less than 5% of the time. I've gotten maybe 3 or 4 answers and when I do get an answer it gives me a huge long list that I have to scroll to the top to actually find the answer.
90% of the time if it acutally understands what you are saying it says I'm sorry I dont have the answer, would you like me to search the web?
It mishears you a lot too. Cuts you off every now and then. Seems you have to hit the button or say the wake command between every single question with the app open too.
I have asked it the most basic questions in the world for the last 10-15 minutes and the only answers I got were to- When did Mickey Mantle die and who is Michael Jackson, and what a stock is worth. Every time it finds an answer it takes 5-10 seconds to give me an answer, and thats on wifi.
Could answer me all sorts of common knowledge sports questions, music questions, questions about who owns a company or a team. Who makes the Corvette, when the first mustang was made, how tall Lebron James is (which was also demonstrated to work)
I almost refuse to believe the app is THIS bad. I've fiddled with settings and nothing has improved. Its almost as if they want you to click search the web every time so they get some kind of hits or credit or something. Its just baffling.
I completely agree that S Voice is as bad as on mine and my wife's phone as your experience jd. It is THAT bad. lol You have to just laugh about it. :laugh:
Install Nova launcher. You don't have to use the launcher, but it makes available shortcuts that you can use in any launcher.
Use the shortcut, "Nova Launcher" (available under "Widgets" in TW Launcher), and choose voice search.

Thank you very much! Now I am trying to get it to work in Go Launcher. Having a little difficulty but the option is there. I can get the widget on the screen but it will not activate for some reason.

You can also try using the shortcut, "Activities," scroll down to "Voice Search," click that, then click, "RecognitionActivity." That should do the same thing.
Hello guys! It's me again doing some crazy stuff for a "dead" device
I managed to get an almost fully functional UltraSmoothRosie. That's right. There's only one single bug.
So:
BUGS
Pinch to zoom out force closes the launcher, use home button instead
Top bar icons are stretched and "All Apps", "Personalize" and "Add" ICONS are not visible (the buttons work)
The edit menu (when you longpress an icon or widget) is stretched in landscape mode (use portrait for removing/editing)
Previews when moving items are often wrongly placed, but the actual moving process works just fine
Wallpaper is aligned incorrectly
Homescreen indicator (the white bar that moves when you scroll) is not visible
Leap view (previews of the five homescreens) is all messed up
Previews of the homescreen in the Personalize Menu have icons and widgets aligned incorrectly
Give it a spin, and tell me if you can find any quirk/detail/bug. And if you download it and actually use/like it, click the thanks button

Just flash it in CWM, no wipes required.
Another minor mod, that I made playing around with the M10Tools is a modification to the HTC Lockscreen to remove the bottom bar and the circles around the icons to accomplish a cleaner (Sense 4 like) look.

FLYER'S NOT DEAD
j.weber said:
So, yesterday I looked into the UltraSmooth Rosie mod for many HTC handsets, and I noticed the Jetstream has one, so I decided to try it out on my Flyer (a long shot, I know). It worked, but the top navbar had sizing issues, which made it impossible to access "All Apps", "Personalize" and "Add" menus. Plus, when trying to delete an object from the screen, I noticed the "Remove" icon was offscreen too, so I could not remove stuff. A blazing fast, lagfree, and pretty useless launcher.
So i took M10 tools and started resizing what I thought was what I needed to, and the outcome was almost perfect. I still can't work out the png's sizing (they are exactly in the same place, but the actual FUNCTIONAL icons are moved where you can reach them, so the launcher is pretty much 100% functional. And believe me: it's damn smooth.
So:

I will try my best to iron out the present bugs so we can have a proper, fully working UltraSmooth Rosie.

It's really nice compared to the stock one.
Can you also upload the stock Rosie, in case we want to go back?
Restarted the Flyer today and I'm having force closes since then. Can't enter the launcher at all.
Any solutions?

Try wiping cache and dalvik and reflashing mod, that didn't ever happen to me
Any progress on those last few bugs?

I have been very busy lately but I managed to understand the logic behind HTC's Rosie layout. I fixed the positioning for all items for portrait, and landscape should be an easy process. The problem is I don't know how to fix the pinch to zoom out or the previews. But I can live with that. Maybe tomorrow I find some time to fix landscape and upload version 0.9. Cheers
All (except for ***** to zoom) fixed!
OP updated with version 1.0. All bugs but pinch to zoom fixed.
I installed the mod today and i Like it. Please fix the Last Bug and i will love it
I am going to be honest with you: I have absolutely no clue on how to do it. I think the way to fix it is SMALI editing, and that is a field I have no knowledge of. It would be pretty cool if we could get a real dev to take a look at it.
Did you try asking @hamdir? He should know a thing or two about that and maybe he can explain.
Tried installing it again on my Flyer and after boot I get continuous force close. Any suggestions on why?

Which ROM are you running? Did you try wiping and reflashing?
I was running a the stock rooted ROM. I tried with another ROM and it works again.
What I don't like is the animation in the app drawer when scrolling through app pages. It's a bit jerky.
It always was, as far as I reckon. HTC really did a crappy job at programming HC Rosie. It has so many flaws
The stock one has less that this one.

I'm new to RR, and as such I have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers for anywhere else. And since I can't post in the dev forums, I'll try my luck here.
1. How do I delete additional homescreens, and stay with just one?
2. .. and how do I do the same for my lockscreen? (multiple lock/home screens and camera access before entering pin is not wanted, plus it messes with my wallpapers ).
3. I can't seem to add more than 16 apps to a folder on my homescreen. Is this a limit that is adjustable?
Thanks in advance.
Did you look for any answers in the Resurrection thread? Used the search function in that thread?

Naturally.
1. What launcher are you using? If you're using the Touchwiz launcher you can just press left button, which brings up a menu where you can edit the homescreen.

2. multiple lock/home screens? Take a look at Settings > Lockscreen.

TW launcher?..
I can only chose between "launcher" (assuming Apex. Might be wrong though) and Nova Launcher. I'm using the first, and do not have that option.
When pressing the menu button, I can only select Wallpaper, Manage apps, and System settings.
And I've been all the way through settings, security, device settings, resurrection tools, etc. to find a way to decrease the amount of screens, but without any luck.

Doh! Forgot the rom, you don't have a TW rom. :silly:
I recommend using Nova Launcher. Press the same button as shown in the picture, then go to Nova Settings > Desktop > Home Screens. There you can add or delete homescreens.
And for the lockscreen. Rom Control > Lockscreen? Under Pie Control.

No luck. Was the first place I tried. And I'm not using Pie either.

Can you be more specific about what's wrong with your lockscreen? Maybe put up a screenshot?

Okay. It seems that Nova solved my problems with maximum number of apps in a folder, and using a single homescreen.
Now I would like to have single lockscreen as well. Right now I have 3 lockscreens - the right one of them being camera controls, and I would like to just have a single screen, where the only option is to enter the security pin code. No app launching without entering the pin.
I'll see if I can add a screenshot.
I'ts hard to screenshot, but as you might see from the two attachments, there's the option of scrolling right (and left) from the lockscreen, into two separate screens - the rightmost being the camera controls (slightly visible in one of the screenshots).
I'd just like to remove the extra screens, remove the camera access, in fact - remove everything besides one single screen where all you can do is enter the security pin.
Does that make sense?
Try this.
In the lockscreen, drag your finger down from the default clock. You'd enter the Android 4.2.1 lockscreen widgets full-screen view;
Press and hold the individual screen, and drag it up to 'X Remove';

Only problem is... it doesn't work.
When I'm long-pressing the individual lockscreen, I can only add widgets, not delete anything.
EDIT: Correction. I can delete the center screen, thereby having only two screens left. But I can't seem to get rid of the right screen (fullscreen camera widget/app).
What am I doing wrong?
Hi mates!
Is this topic still alive ? I've got a question too. Maybe 2 or 4, in fact))
1) Cannot enable transparent notification bar... Why ?
2) How to center the clock on the lock screen ?
3) How to force the list of settings to fill the whole screen width ?
4) Cannot add the sound profiles to the notification drawer
