WidgetLocker slider up? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am planning to make some WidgetLocker themes, but I had a query. Can we change the direction of unlock sliders. For example, what if I could drag the unlock slider upward...? Is there any xml that needs to be edited..?

I'm not sure how to do it because I haven't tried editing any sliders myself, as of yet, but here's a couple of links which could help you.
You can search in the WidgetLocker FAQ thread and hopefully find what you need.
Here's a vertical slider as an example which will give you a good idea of how it can look and might help you out a bit.

first off, theres no bad question in the Q/A section. when in doubt, this and general are the safest places to post.
now onto your question, its a little unclear what youre looking for. do you mean youre liking for scrabble-tile icons for your homescreen?
Like I always see people with theses tiles as there apps. Like say a long headbud picture for the music, that's what I wanna have a go at

You need Desktop Visualizer from the Market.
Its an app that lets you set widgets, and it will look like a WM7 phone. THey are not live widgets though.
There is a thread in the android theme section (not vibrant) with a very lengthy guide, and a lot of images you can use. It looks sweet once setup, but it wasnt for me.
you need ADW to be 5x5, I do recall that.
Thanks for he info link perhaps? Buy I will go searching

gingerbread crt screen off animation on ANY build

theres people asking for this....and i don't think people should flash a non stable rom just for this animation....so here:
screen off and lock
doesn't use lock button, but you can remap long press of search button (i don't use google voice actions that much) to lock the screen with an animation.
hope this helps some people
oh....and if you're rooted (which most people on here are) you can pull the xml animation file and rename it lock_screen_enter.xml or lock_screen_behind_enter.xml, then push it to your frameworkres.apk/anim, it will be your animation for unlocking your phone. it's ultra fast and fits perfectly with the unlock sounds.
i'd include a video, but i dont have a digital camera....
Hmm, Im going to wait to see if someone tries this. Could be pretty epic.
Hmm I was under the impression that the frameworks prior to ginger bread had no support for that kind of animation.
Might when I get home, I really do like the tv animation

I guess pre-gingerbread, the sdk doesn't call for an xml when hitting the power/lock button. So that's why I use the feature to remap long pressing the search button.

You guys have to configure it first, you know..... Look in your apps for "configure screen off and unlock" it's not that difficult.

alright, sorry , it sounded like ya think i'm a moron. I tried 2 times, reinstalled, restarted, and still no Gingerbread style tv off animation. There seems to be a slightly different animation when putting phone to sleep when I set it to "old style TV", but def not gingerbread , not even close.
So I guess I'm must be doing something VERY wrong with the simple instructions and setttings... IDK man. Not sure what to say,
Thanks for the app, unfortunately tho it does not give that GB style tv off animation
EDIT: yes I have all animations turned on, always do
I figure it's close enough for those who really wanted the animation like me. And it works in landscape. So that's a plus to me.
I just wasn't down to install an unstable gb build for this animation.

I'm not bashing at all. Just reporting back from my use of the app. NONE of the animations I select work , so maybe it is the ROM I'm using. IDK.
Ty anyways
That's weird man. Sorry it's not working for ya. What rom are you using? I'm using original bionix v.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Working very well, thanks man! Are there any ways to speed/slow down the animation?
EDIT: Can you also elaborate on unlock animation? Does this mean when we hit the power button the screen will turn on that way in reverse? I'd like to get that going, but would I have to know how to edit and recompile an apk? I've never really messed with xml files.
I mean the transition from your lock screen to your home screen/open app.

can we do this using root explorer?
What I do is take this app from data/app and bring it to my computer, and extract scale_old_tv.xml, and rename it to lock_screen_exit.xml and take your framework, and drop it into framework/res/anim

Agreed XDAs search feature sucks, no doubt about that! Just use google, type "xda atrix" and you will get results from this forum. The phone you are using has a dedicated physical button just for search. Keep in mind everytime someone starts a new thread it makes it that much harder to find the info needed on a topic. #fragmentation

Does anyone know how to change the bottom row icons on our great device. I know you can't change the application icon but want to change some of the others???

1. Go to your applications list.
2. Hit the first capacitive button bringing up the menu.
3. "EDIT"
4. Move the icons out of the bottom row and replace them with what you want.
hope it helps. took me a while to figure it out too. Had to replace the "browser"
Do I have to be rooted to do this? Sorry slow and new to some of this cool stuff!!!

A final step not mentioned, you then need to hit Menu and then Save, otherwise your changes won't stick.

What he said. Lots of reading. Plus the longer you wait, the easier and more bullet proof the root process will get. This is not like waiting endless months for an at&t update. There will be safe reversible one-click options before the end of the week most likely.

Is there a way to make a widget persistent?

Is there any way to make a selective widget, like the DuckDuckGo widget, persistent in the place of the Google search widget? I ask this because the Google search widget that is persistent doesn't take up a complete grid like it would if I was to add the DuckDuckGo widget to every page at the top.
Adding the DuckDuckGo widget drops everything down much further, even with another grid space added on Nova, than just having the persistent widget does.
I saw with Lightning Laughed you could "pin" a widget in place and it is almost like using a persistent widget, in that it stays in the same place as you scroll through homescreens, but its still very very different. I have also seen Overlays but that is completely different as well.
So is there any way to modify Nova, and of the other launchers, or a ROM to use the DuckDuckGo widget as persistent instead of the Google search bar?

Agreed, would love to do this.

I've been researching for the past couple of days and the closest thing I have been able to find is Lightning Launcher. Sadly that isn't even close to what I'm wanting. I'm going to keep looking and see if I ever run across something, which looks doubtful at this point...

Apparently SS Launcher allows pinning as well, I am currently emailing the Dev and discussing persistent widgets but I don't have much hope because he doesn't seem to know what I am talking about or the differences.
I am going to start looking for a way to edit it but I'm not very hopeful I'll find a solution.

Not at all, the ssLauncher Dev has no idea what I a, talking about, he doesn't speak English as his first language so its extremely hard for me to explain things to him. I eventually gave up.
I've heard that the Dev responsible for Action Launcher adds just about anything his users ask for so I am going to email him later today and see if he can and would add that. Ive been trying to figure this out for quite a while and no one knows anything about it and the few that do, I've found 2 people who supposedly know, don't want to explain what edits need to be made.
I'll post back when I get dome talking with the Dev over Action Launcher!

why don't you use a launcher that allow for widget overlapping so you don't have to worry about grid size?
