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.

Hello everyone,
I'm currently running MCCM SE 2.0 (miui customized ROM) with Hastarin 7.5 kernel. I had issues with the original kernels with freezing, so I switched. Now I'm having some more issues, but I'm tired of playing with this build, time for bigger and better (Hopefully more stable too!)
My question is this: MCCM 2.0 has quick links to enable/disable almost everything directly in the notification window (Wifi, APN, airplane, brightnes, etc.). I want a build that has this OR a way to plug this in an existing build. I've looked for apps that do it, but I'd rather have it integrated.
Thanks for your help, guys. This forum is much more helpful than others I've been in!
I'm not sure but the Sense builds should have a widget named energy control or something like that.

Yup, any build you can add a widget too you can add this to a home screen. Add a widget, choose Settings > Data Dashboard or Power Dashboard (on the new desire HD builds). Both of these combined give you almost complete control over the phone and it's functions. I don't think this is limited to the sense builds, I've seen loads of builds have these.
He is asking a different thing from the "power strip" or other widgets. In the MIUI roms you have those shortcuts NOT in the home screens but directly in the notification/status bar.

Yup I realise that but why have to pull down the notifications window when you can have it directly on the homescreen as a widget?

It's because I prefer a clutter-less environment. And considering it's one quick link bar instead of tons of random widgets... I mean it's all a question of taste, really. Many different options for many different people. I have apps on my main page I use frequently (With a few widgets) and the second page is a few more apps... All those shortcuts are practical in that scrolling notification window for me.
If anyone knows which files control the notification display menu, that'd be fine with me... I'll take it from there! I'm just trying to figure that out.
Thanks!
i am looking for exactly this. i know about poer management widget but i think the notification bar in miui builds is just awesome. i don't care about the rest of the skin so much. i would love to find out if there are any alternatives out there, as well.

Hello all,
my first post on XDA
First, thanks for this forum, as I found plenty on info on the phone already, and got the itch to immediately start flashing it
I own an XPS as I bricked my Galaxy S after much playing: till now, the XPS is a fantastic phone.
My only complaint about it (besides the difficult to activate home/menu/back buttons) is the absence of widgets in the drawer!
I see Sony has put a home widget to substitute, but hate it.
I love to have Screen Rotation & Brightness, and other widgets in the drawer, as I can access them without exiting the current app (CM was amazing with this, allowing configuration of widgets to be displayed).
Is there a way to add them? I tried a search, but (me noob?) didn't find it.
Thanks for your help,
Azoele
I think you mean in the pulldown area and not the drawer. If so Then this is what you want.

yes!
Yes, it looks like that, thanks!
I will head there immediately and try to install.
Feeling very happy now

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
Hey guys
I was just wondering if there was any way to make the lockscreen widgets show more information without swiping down to show it?
I'm using 200dpi so it is quite a bit less than stock...
I used DashClock and saw that it was the same thing as CM's cLock...
For instance, if you have 2-3 calender events, some of them will be cut off until you swipe down to unlock the widget. Is there any way to make the "viewing" part bigger so that I don't have to open the widget every time? It drives me nuts...I just want to turn on my phone and see the information there, not have to swipe open again...
Thanks guys,
Elliott
Bump...anyone?
Bumpity bump!

I don't know what you're using to change DPI (Xposed mod, or paranoid preference). If it's paranoid preferences, try this:
In paranoid preferences, go tools, select expert mode.
Then in per app settings, you'll have the option to 'force' or 'large'. Try playing around with these, possibly for dashclock, systemui or Androidsystem. I don't know if this will help, as I don't use an overall lower dpi, only for some apps.
Apologies if that doesn't help your situation at all.

Thanks for trying but I'm using ROM Toolbox to change the DPI...running CM10.1.
Does anyone know of a way to lock the stock launcher desktop. I know I can change launchers that have that feature. But I want to keep stock.
Thanks

Yes, Nova has this feature - - which is great for friends with fumble fingers.
Why keep stock launcher when Nova has that, and more, like icon packs, shadows under icons, different transitions, landscape movement across screens...
I can see keeping stock firmware instead of custom ROM, but keeping stock launcher? Come on, don't be silly.

I just want to keep it things simple as possible and fast. But your prolly right will try the launcher again.
EDIT: I remember why I couldn't switch. I can't use LG widgets with Nova launcher. So I'm trading one thing for another. I can live without desktop lock for now.

OK. I have tons several widgets - - including a fantastic weather one called Beautiful Widgets, as well as calendar, so I've never used stock OEM widgets, whether Motorola or LG.

At one time I remembered there used to be an option in Google play store to not add apps to desktop. I can't find it anymore. Odd

You need to use shortcut master and go into the LG Home hidden settings
*Edit: now I can't find the setting I thought was there to look the launcher down to however you have it. So play at your own risk. Will post pics of what I meant below.
Shortcut Master, system apps, LG home, Hidden settings...
