There doesn't seem to be any alternative locksreen options for the Streak that actually flash the frawework as opposed to running as a application/service. Is this correct? Is there any reason why other devices (such as Captivate) have flashable lockscreens but the Streak doesn't?
Just curious, thanks.

No special reason i can think of, i always liked the donut lockscreen, but i doubt i will ever be having that on Froyo or Gingerbread.
Try ripple lock in the market

(disclaimer: i'm just curious as well)
why can't you just install the app? i mean there are benefits or something with flashing?
For one it'll def be a lot quicker because it'll come straight from the system, and two you don't have to worry about double locks

So why not put the lockscreen app of your choice into the \system\app folder of your favourite rom then reflash it?

Which app should be replaced for this to work?
Does the lock screen come from a system app or is it "built-in" to the kernel or some other part of the framework?
How can you make sure that the replacement lockscreen integrates into the system like the built-in lockscreen?
You make it sound simple, but is it?

Well it depends on the app, not all apss will install from that folder, in that folder of you rom, if its a custom rom that is, are all the system apps installed, like the browser, camera, launcher/launchers etc...
For instance, before i install a custom rom, i will go through deleting all apps i don't want and adding ones i do, from experience i know some do not install ok but most do.
So say, put Agile Lock free edition in that folder, install the rom and see if it works for you.
Just an example.

Your advice is offered as an "easy" solution, but without any basis. I personally could care less about using a different lockscreen, but if you are going to offer a suggestion you might want to think it through, test it, or make it clear that you have not tried it and have no idea if it will work.
And even though I knew that you could modify custom ROMs prior to flashing, perhaps the OP did not?

Well Marvin, no point biting my head off when you failed to answer his question as well, you know as well as i do, that its not possible to change the lockscreen of the Android OS itself as its very tightly integrated with the rest of the OS.
The solution i am offering is to simply install a 3rd party lockscreen and use no lock to disable the system lockscreen, i don't think anybody has another solution to the android lockscreen debacle.

Well I didn't know that about the lockscreen, but I suspected it, which is why I ask the questions I did. I never tried to answer the original question - as I did not know the answer.
Since its new and will need the Dev thread for bugs and other stuff. thought i would post this.
anyone got it downloaded?
maybe post some Screens?
Sorry still kinda newbish with this question, so apologies if it doesn't make sense:
Does flashing this through CWM update the bootloader/modem that will make this not reversible to one of the GB ROMs? I've got nandroid backups of Stock(+overclock kernel), Saurom, and DAGr8's multi-dpi ICS alpha 2 leak, and I can freely restore them and go back and forth.
If I flash this new one, will that change something on the bootloader level or change my AT&T modem that will somehow mess stuff up and prevent me from switching between those other ROMs? Or will it work fine with all of that?
Thanks
You can still flash to a GB rom

WOW
this is AWESOME! Thank you Collective!!!
what is different about this rom than the base, or the alpha 2 from dagr8? I see that there's the collective tools, but what options are in there? The feature list they have on the main post is hardly descriptive of anything.

Quick question...
Getting into recovery mode... hold vol up AND down, while powering on? Cause I seem to remember trying it once, to see if it would work.. Got some green lettering (didn't read it at the time)... then I believe I just touched the home button, to bypass it... or try to bypass it. Now, I cannot get it to work.
The only thing I've done to my phone is root it, using one of the first roots available... (sorry, I forget the user... same guy who has the overclock root)
Now, I'd like to upgrade to this new ROM, and wonder if I can just upgrade it over the rooted kernal I have now....
I have tried looking around for the answer, and cannot find the exact answer.. So, I figure I'd ask, instead of just guessing...
Thanks
Joe_Breezy
is there any mod for onscreen buttons like the Galaxy Nexus?
Setting everything up now. looks good guys. seems smooth.
time to play with it and see what i find.
thanks Collective.
Coming from Saurom R7.1 GB
So far I've noticed
+Samsung splash screen is nice. Very professional touch
+overall seems smooth and fast.
+Seems very clean and ready for tweaking.
-can't change lockscreen wallpaper.
txwallpaperchooser crashes if it's used to change home or lockscreen wallpaper. And it's the only option when changing the lockscreen.
No 'gallery' Did quickpic replace this?
No splanner -guessing it's not ICS compatible
How do you change device name?
Any FAQ on the Collective Tools? Looks like some neat and dangerous stuff.
Got it flashed looks good. Just low system memory but that seems to be with all the ics Rom

Thanks, over looked that.
How do you patch is this from cwm?
Flash the zip... Its the gallery3D.apk so you could just extract it, paste it in /system/app and then reboot.
But the zip itself is flashable.
Also, op thanks for starting the thread. I slept in a bit this morning

From a powered off state, hold all 3 buttons (both volume and power) the when you feel a vibrate let off the power button keeping bug volumes held.
Now, if you have cwm installed, yes you can just wipe and flash the ROM... If you still have stock recovery you'll need to Intel cwm first.
Id beware I flashed it my speeds are now 515kbs And I had a nandroid and it won't restore the md5 sum
I want gb back .

Hi,
I wanted to express my opinion about the TEAM PERFECTION'S ICS OBJECTION rom.
The ROM is perfectly smooth - just works out of the box. It may appear deceptively simple, but the long update list in Development thread's OP provides a good explanation why it works so well.
If you had spent some time running Hybrid or Collective Troposphere ICS ROMs then you will be surprised to see the ATT boot animation (though I'm sure that if it's not to your liking then it can be replaced with any other animations that had been posted in different threads )
And another great thing about this ROM is the developer response time - appdroid is actively monitoring the thread and before I had time to load the stock rom there was an update for mms FC that was reported - now that's impressive.
The only issue that I had observe is phone hanging when trying to restart the phone. Happened two times but on third reboot it was ok. Didn't seem to be reported by anyone else so may be just my phone?
Oh, and if you are as adventurous as I am - don't try flashing Tablet Mode UI fix - I already did That will FC System UI and Launcher. From everything I've read in Hybrid thread I knew that this couldn't work, but just had to try (perhaps the fact that I got tablet UI working really well in Troposphere ROM contributed to the desire to make this attempt)
Edit - both of the issues listed above are gone, kind of. Did the exact same steps as earlier and this time rebooted fine without hanging. That part is for sure. As for the Tablet mod - it works fine at the DPI above 213. Again, make sure you flash TabUI_all_DPI.zip as this is the one I tested. 320 DPI is too big, but I think 240 should work fine.
Edit2 - Tablet UI works! Just not with default launcher. I was able to get 213 DPI resolution to work with Go Launcher, but Nova should also work
If you are a new user like me and cannot post in Development thread then you are welcome to add your impressions here. Other senior contributors are also welcome
I don't intent to move all of TEAM PERFECTION'S ICS OBJECTION-related discussion here, especially since appdroid is monitoring his thread very closely. But it's nice to finally have a voice.
I flashed tablet mode over this. The combo works perfect

That's great news. Will give it another try.
I assume that you loaded the new Tablet UI enabler zip (TabUI_all_DPI.zip) and ran it at <= 213 DPI?
Edit - did you also observe hanging on shutdown/reboot?
I ran TABLET_UI_AOSP_A2. Nothing else.

Thank you. I got it all working now, just had to load another launcher (go launcher) BEFORE loading tha tablet UI (though I used the latest multi-DPI zip) and it worked fine at 213 DPI. If you can, please post in Development thread as people are asking and I still can't post there. I will PM Jay (appdroid) too.
Love this rom. there's just something about it like. Flashed A couple of roms but always found myself nandroiding back to gb. Been on this since last night and after a full run today I like it a lot.
Only thing I changed was the launcher to apex. Just needed something that looked stock but gave me more grid space. Works great.
Swapped the mms.apk with the one from tye noteworthy thread and no more fc there.
Now I just need to get tethering working.

Thank you. And of course if you want to run at or below 213 DPI you need to replace contacts app. But then again, if you don't care about samsung dialer commands (like #*2263#) then might as well replace the whole dialer, as at that resolution some dialer buttons in stock dialer are partially cut off.

Tried both before posting - none works.
Of course your post is a clear indication that it works for you. That means it's just my system then.
I think its a fantastic ROM so far. I had a couple FC's when doing the initial contacts sync with gmail and then when trying to put weather on the lockscreen. Other than that this ROM is fantastic. I think this might be one I stick with until the second leak comes out or the official ICS push.....Thanks DEV's!!!!!!

Same here. Though I might miss some of the tools available in other ROMs
Sometimes I wish we had a sticky thread with ALL the updates available globally (i.e. rom-independent) so we could get those as needed. Just like we have for Accessories forum.

Hey all,
So I know I don't know all the intricacies of Android but I feel like I have to post about this...
Anyone getting a pre lock screen " Tap to search" screen much like the circular selection screen in JB but with clouds? Its very peculiar since it just popped up today and I can't find ANYTHING about it online. Anyone having the same issue??

I figured out that AccuWeather, which I have installed, has a lock screen you can use and somehow I enabled it. Not sure how, but the lock screen is gone now.
I am running AOKP with Nova Launcher.
Thanks for the replies.
Now that we have root, does someone know how to disable the lockscreen? Not the ads, just the lockscreen itself.
I remember looking for a method back when we first had root and not finding one...

Well, here are some thing you can try, guys:
1. if you are on 8.9 HDX, you can install Apollo Gapps 1.2 ROM, there is switch in the settings (classic android switch) - I am using this right now
2. try to install and run this app (No Lock):
No Lock - warning - probably not working correctly - reported here
References, credits, etc:

P.S. I did test the app on Apollo Gapps ROM 1.2 (8.9 HDX), and it was working as expected...
Thanks for the tip on No Lock. Installed and it works great here.

Well, if you want, you can try this one (no graphic glitches for me so far (testing for cca 3 hour randomly turning screen on and off) - still on Apollo Gapps 1.2):
No lock screen
Thanks ill give it a try. But it looks like it works the same way. And I guess when the notification is missing is when the glitches start...
Also looks like it breaks the magnetic switch, like no lock. So screen doesn't turn on when opening case.
