Second time i've "made" this effect and don't know how ??
Today with my left hand (not primary for me) I'm tried to drop down notification bar and ... again Icons and Widgets start floating, constantly moving and whole my 5 home screens was compiled in one and I can scroll this summary screen.
Palls, did someone know how to do that again.
Device is LT18i Android 4.0.4, stock .587 kernel, installed just this XPERIA Ultimate HD MOD[ver:1.3][ ICS.587/.431] but first time with floating widgets effects was w/o this mod.

that is a built in behavior for all Xperia phones, on their stock ROMS.. when you do a two finger pinch out.. i.e zoom out on the home screen, your widgets start floating.. This has been the case with all stock xperia roms since 2010.

check the screen shot. this is the case for all xperia's.

I've been playing with my friends android's and i've noticed that the atrix lags:
1) Pinch zoom on the home screen to select to which HS page i wanna go. Instead, we have to press the home button while on the center of the home screen to be able to select the HS page. (not sure if i made myself clear enough)
2) We are stuck in 7 pages! personally, I don't use all 7 pages and I don't like those extra empty pages taking up my ram (even if it's not taking up a considerable amount of ram, it still bugs me when others can just have 3 HS if they wanted to)
3) On the notification drop down list, others have the Power Control buttons to turn on/off wifi and that kinda functions. I know there are apps that add a shortcut bar on the notification screen, but it's not Power Control.
so my question is, Anyone know a way to overcome these issues listed? i can try flashing if necesary.

I know that Launcher Pro has this functionality, not sure about other launcher apps.

There are a few launcher apps that you may want to look at. The 2 popular ones are "Launcher Pro" and "Go". I think both of them can be configured for the number of pages you want.

Motorola included a few widgets that can toggle some of this functionality, but in the stock Atrix builds this is not available from the notification bar.
All that said and if you are a brave soul, you may want to check out some of the custom ROMs available for the Atrix over in the developer forum. The ROMs are generally much alike and free the Atrix from both Motorola and your carrier. The ROMs differ in there themes and minor features.
Hope this helps you and your friend get the most out of the Atrix.
I would check out ADWLauncher, most of these things can be customized.

i find launcher pro works the best for me. should definitely try that out.
Yeah, I've been thinking about Launchers, but I've tried launcher pro and I feel like it's taking even more ram. Because it's a launcher that is running on top of our stock HS, am I wrong?
I currently have Alien ROM on my device with the stock theme, because I cannot live without the one touch call/sms contact widget and also the ability to group apps on the app drawer. Tried the Alien theme and liked it, except for the mentioned "flaws"
Kill the blur launcher and use home switcher to set one by default. No more launcher running on top of another.

Oh! that's a nice one. thanks!
BTW, i just found by accident that if you swype upwards from below the screen, you get the HS selection. (just like the pinch zoom)

On mine with Launcher Pro I use two fingers to pinch, then keep one finger on the screen sliding it to which HS page I want to pick. I just figured this out based on what you were asking about. It is always fun to find some new feature like this that I didn't know existed before. With the stock home launcher from MotoBlur there is a capability to do it, but I long since forgot what that procedure was when I changed to Launcher Pro. LP has all the customizations you are asking for.

Hello. Noticed this few days ago after one month having the phone.
In the App menu I don't find this behaviour, only on the 7 home screen. If I delete and put again its solved but after some time itvgets back.
So u say only on 7 launcher? If so then contact the developer since sounds like an issue with launcher if doesn't happen on any other launcher etc.

No it's not such App like 7 launcher. It is stock touch wiz launcher. I was referring to the 7 home screen specific to android like what do you see in picture at calculator and social hub etc.
Lol I looked at right side image icons and no where else can see slight gradient difference on some of the icons on right side but not able to look if TW issue as don't use it and never had on device for long, but doesn't look right.

Same thing
Infact i also noticed the same thing. Guessing it might be a small ui issue with touchwiz ui.
What do you say gurus ?
ive used infiniti rom - aokp for 5 hours n am giving this feedback. u can post it in dev forum so others can see this review.
installed sony ics, rooted, unlocked bootlaoder. tried this as my 1st custom rom. used cwm recovery 5.5
Pros:
1 rom became very smooth after few mins use
2 great battery life over sony ics. wel done!
3 google playstore works for me.
Cons:
1 gps dusnt seem to work on gmaps or navi. dint try the gps fix. u should include it in v2.
2 removing an app from recent app the animation is a lil laggy, i dont think sony ics was so slow.
3 'settings' shuts when i try to view running apps. please fix!
4 apollo stops working and shuts when i click on an artist in artists tab, or album in album tab. the audio itself plays fine on apollo.
5 the 4 lowest icons which appear on the homescreens their name dusnt appear eg "dialer" appears if u move icon to top of screen, but 'dialer' text dusnt show when the icon is in lowest row of homescreen. go ex n nova same problem.
6 pinch zoom on homescreen to see all widgets - feature is missing go launcher lets u view all homescreens thru pinch zoom at least (htc leap view anyone )
other comments:
PLZ ADD NATIVE PROXY SUPPORT IN ROM SO THAT MY APPS WORK WITH UNIVERSITY PROXY. ALL ROMS SHOULD HAVE THIS!
1 sony walkman was better app probably
2 use nova launcher for ultimate speed, or go ex launcher for lil less speed but lot more features (looks a lil cartoony tho unlike slick nova).
3 go launcher ex shows running apps as taking around 320/380 mb. im sure sony ics used about 220 under normal use. rom is smooth so i was shocked at ram usage. maybe it isnt as agressive as deleting background apps n uses more ram, hence the smoothness?
very good rom, much better n more stable than i thought!
looking forward to better v2! now i wil try manav rom - miui
the focus option for rear camera is gone. video has it, but not photo. can anyone confirm if sony ics has focus settings for rear camera?
track id works fine, altho i read somewhere that sony software which requires DRM eg track id dusnt work after unlocking boot loaders n all..
dunno why but cant change alarm ringtone in stock alarm app. use another app.
EDIT: GPS WORKS, I think i dint turn on location device thingy so no app could actually use gps to identify my location. the 'gps fix' was for some1 who accidentally deleted their gps file anyway.
now time for manav rom - xperience miui

your problem is about the LAUNCHER. the launcher gives the UserInterface(UI) of your home screen and APPlication DRAWER. I suggest you install this launcher like the ones from Xperia Phones,
XPERIA S Home Launcher with Settings
YOU can choose to have a
*Dock Bar(quick launch of shortcuts at the bottom with only 5 shortcuts including the middle that launches the APP DRAWER)
or
*4 corner bubbles(like the ones you are asking)
or
*both 4 corners bubbles and a Dock Bar.
jelly bin probmel slow
Hay bro thanx and other question is i used last time jelly bin 4.1.2 or something its too slow and lag, i used swap and all but its too slow ... could u tell me how to run fast jelly bin in my x10 pro mini plzzzzz......
I did test the JB from nAa up to it's nightlies to dec 24.
It's fast. because I have a not RAM hungry launcher(like the launcher I gave you), I deleted unwanted system apps and data. I use swap on SD-ext, Used a2sd to move apps from internal to SD-ext, over clocked it to 768Mhz(max), 245Mhz(min), Pushed Entrophy seeder, and flashed the Adrenaline Boostv3.
FAST, sometimes stops for a second then goes fast again. have good battery life. and nice UI(from theming).
BUT seriously, I used it for just a month and go back to GingerDXv029.
hello everybody ... i hope some can help me
i hate the stock samsung lock screen but i love android revolution HD.
because of that i am looking for a mod which brings the stock android lockscreen with customizible shortscuts to
your camera, browser, whats app and so on...
i browsed a bit in google and here in the forums but i havent found anything.
i am sure there is a mod like this but i cant find it :laugh:
i hope you can help me
widget locker
Widget locker is a good option, but it doesn't work properly with S3.
Many small issues which make it unusable for me.
1) If you wake your phone withing 5 secs, you'll see an annoying toast notification.
2) It can be easily unlocked using Home button, unlike the stock one.
3) If you have a rooted device, point 2 can be overcome. However then if you are in home screen (tried with Nova) and you press Home button again you'll see a small refresh of launcher. This is because of the workaround.
So I would advice you to not buy it.
JKay is another option
thank you ... ykay is almost perfect
i would like a JB style lock screen which is customizible ... but this one is fine too
you can customize the lockscreen if you buy his app
i bought his app but there doesent seem to be any customazitation for the stock JB lockscreen available ... only for the ICS one
