Just wondering is there any mod or for galaxy s3 which can make it behave like IOS like lockscreen notification.
Its really annoying in GS3 to unlock and then check the email or any other notification. Screen doesn't even light up whenever there is new email.
Any solutions? I am on AOKP build 4

The Samsung ROM lets you put an email shortcut on the lockscreen, this gets the bubble with the number on if there is any new emails. SMS pops up on its own, even wakes the screen. I don't know what AOKP is.
thanks, I know about the Stock feature.. but AOKP is lot smoother and bloatware free, really don't want to go back.
yeah i got a solution and a very simple fix. if you want IOS(crap un-needed features) GET A IPHONE! simple fix hope i helped LOL
ok ok fun time over download this app problem solved
Bloatware has nothing to do with aokp.
Aokp and -based roms are usually bloatware-free but you only need root to get rid of it on any rom.
There are literally tons of different lockscreens in the play store, just try them out.

I am very interested in making my own theme and after looking around I've noticed there isn't really a good Windows Phone 7 theme. Sure, there are launchers that replicate it, but applications aren't themed. :\ Soooo, I was thinking about making one and theming a few apps to finish up the polish. Any feedback? Anyone want to help?
Apps to Theme:
Dialer / Phone
Contacts
Messages
Music Player Not just theming, but re-coding
If you think of another app please let me know!
Thanks!
They already have a large project going on this.

i would love the dialer app and the messaging app. They already have a launcher and the music and the lock screen done. I really like the metro UI but i will pass on the launcher. Though i do use all the icons =).

yeah, and i dont think anyone will be able to make something as smooth as WP7 really is. since Microsoft has updated OpenGL 2.0 and we only have 1.0/1.1. also they have hardware acceleration as well as iphone so eh. maybe im wrong?
I used a windows 7 phone for about a month. Incredibly smooth. No lag at all. Of course that was because only 1 app was running at a time... Which is why i went back to android. Cant stand no multi tasking. Anyways, i actually really like the metro UI. If they could link the contacts and phone app together so that when you hit contacts in the phone app it would open up the wp7 contacts, that would be awesome. The launcher on android actually keeps up pretty well. The animation is alot smoother on wp7 though.

The windows 7 dialer does link to the windows 7 contacts app if u have both installed.
fede from the launcher pro team is working on porting the music app, looks awesome but afaik its still in alpha, API is on the forums if you search for it

i might go ahead and buy the apk from the wp7android people for the dailer and contacts then. Does anyone know if you can change the default dialer. Never had a replacement dialer before. By this i mean, if you go to a website and click a phone number, will it open up the wp7 dialer or the stock one?

If you have multiple dialers installed (stock plus another) it will ask you which option you want to use when you press the phone button, launch a contact, etc, and then you can set one or other as default. I've got Go Contacts which comes with a dialer, and it did this until I selected one or other. Then if you want to set it back I think you go into manage applications and clear the defaults for that app

The issue that i was having was that i used it as a stop watch and unless i was on that stop watch when it went off then it didnt go off. Caused me to be over on my lunch break and rest breaks at work toooo many times. Plus i dont like the boring launcher. Not very customizable.... yet.
it would be still cool if someone could theme gingerblur ... windows phone 7ish... like status bar icons and all... that would be hawt

Hey guys! I've recently started using Fourth Bar Jellybean (and by far the most impressive desensed ROM yet), however there are a few bugs I've noticed that desensed ROMs all tend to have and I was wondering if there would be any fixes for the following:
Google Play music turns the wallpaper on the lockscreen black and doesn't show any music controls
HTCLinkifyDispatcher.apk tends to screw things up. For instance, if I click a link to YouTube it will take me to the browser page instead of the YouTube app. If you delete or rename HTCLinkifyDispatcher this fixes the issue, however in chat clients such as imo, IM+, or Google Talk, clicking a link will crash the app.
Those are the most prominent bugs that I can think off right off the top of my head. Like I said, Fourth Bar Jellybean did a REALLY fantastic job of desensing the ROM, but a couple of HTC Sense bugs still remain.
Let me know what you guys think - is there a fix for any of this?
Thanks!
If Rom devs changed their base to a telus base the link issue would be fixed all round without the need to modify anything, the Google music part I'm not sure of since I don't use it.

I think the google music doing that has something to do with the theme. It's not playing nice I'm most likely a bug. I remember flashing a theme and some music controls weren't showing up but they were there since I knew where they were I clicked. Are yours still function?

This thing though is that it's not really a theme, I think it's an issue with the lockscreen itself. Come to think of it, it seems like EclipzeRemix got his to work in his Project Butter ROM. Maybe the apk can be extracted from it and reflashed/replaced in Fourth Bar?

It's worth a shot, don't ya think? Better to try and fail that to sit doing nothing until your rom dev fixes the issue, though I do think it may be a system issue, tried updating the app itself?
Hope I don't get shot for this, however, I am in need of some advice to help me get iPhone style notifications on stock sense Rom. For example, right now I can only get notifications from the android mail app but not Google mail app or my touchdown mail app. my text messages do show up, but I can't make it show the name of sender but hide content. It either hides both or none. Phone is rooted, is there any program that lets me do this without removing the stock Rom? If I have to flash a other Rom to get this level of customization, which Rom and subsequent mod would you suggest. This is the only thing I don't like about this phone.

There's a lot of lock screen apps but i don't think they have shortcuts like that. Also they don't usually work well.

Those lockscreen apps tend to drain battery too.

Hello XDA I’ve been away from android for some time; switched to iPhone for a bit, from the htc evo 4g. I have switched to Verizon and the galaxy s4 sense then and I want to make some changes to my phone (hence the post). I have rooted my device but haven’t put any custom roms or kernels on my s4 just different launchers. Here is a list of thing I want to change:
Quick disclaimer: some of my wording may be off, I don’t have my phone in front of me to check everything and do proper background research
Phone UI-I want to change the phone app entirely. Its ugly it’s white and it’s [for lack of a better word] fat and cartoonish. I hate the stock dialer and the in-call ui. It has to go; please if nothing else give me some ideas on how to change this! Im using ex dialer and contacts but that doesn’t change the in call experience.
Unread Notifications- I’m currently using nova launcher prime and action launcher pro the kicker is that neither have a proper unread counter for calls texts and emails. Nova works the best because it does in fact have an unread counter but it only works for phone and texts but not for Samsung emails which I use for both my Gmail and my exchange emails. It irks me; I’ve emailed the developer but haven’t heard anything back from him.
Wi-Fi- is there a way to move/add wifi to the notification panel? The panel being the quick access buttons on the top of the notification scroll down. I hate that is “floating” in the other part of the notification list.
Volume- how can I get rid of the volume alert I get when I have something plugged in to the headphone port? I feel that it’s the dumbest warning in the world and it’s even more annoying because it keeps coming back after each reboot (I think). We aren’t 5 years old we already know that loadnoises arnt good for our ears…
App drawer icon- I love the touchwiz app drawer icon and that’s probably the only thing I can’t live without. I’ve got a similar icon from a touchwiz icon pack but it’s not the same one. How can I extract it from touch wiz so that I can use it with various roms or launchers?
Google play- I buy things from Google play every now and again and would like to continue to do so. The only problem is, is that I can’t move the content over to the SD card I would like to store it there because 16gb can only hold so much. I saw that someone figured out how to move Google play music over to SD which is great but I want my magazines and movies on the SD too.
I would like to keep as many Samsung features as I can when I rom my device I enjoy a lot of the Samsung gimmicks that came with it; such as multi-window and the smart stay, view, scroll and pause it’s fun to play with.
Are there specific roms and kernels I need to use for my specific device? If so please refer me to the thread.
Is there a rom that adds a professional and sleek look to the device and adds the discussed features from above? If so what is it and where can I get it!?

Hey guys,
I'm using the AOSB 1.2.8 Kitkat 4.4.2 on my i9100G and firstly, I gotta say it's really nice!
I'm having some customizations issues tho...
for one, I didn't find how to increase the number of home screens. Is it capped at 3 with the launcher3 homescreen? can I have more if I use the google one? just need to switch and restart the phone then?
Secondly, I love that feature to access ur notifications and apps quickly from the lockscreen but sadly you can't combine this with any kind of security. I've tried pattern, PIN and so on, but then the lock screen features are gone. It's basically one or the other. any fix/trick on that?
and finally, a noob question but is there a way to get a notification upon the birthday of someone in your contact list?
thanks everyone for ur help,
wedgy
For your first question.. To add another screen you can try to drop an app to a non existent desktop and the launcher automatically creates another screen.
Or try Nova launcher, it's beautiful.
