I upgraded to the latest CM 11 (Android 4.4) and wanted to use MI Home launcher. The launcher works great, except for the lock-screen.
Somehow the MI launcher lock-screen are unable to display a wall paper fully. Any wall paper set for the lock-screen display only show the top 10-20% of the image and the bottom 80-90% is cut off. The swiping widget is shown and works correctly though.
Anybody faced similar issues? Any advice?
Is your device htc aria, cause the internal storage of htc aria is very limited (less than 200 MB) and, according to what i read, htc aria only supports CM 7?

im comin out from the htc inpire, and now has the atrix, and when i use widgets/adwlauncher/adwdock/ they dont seem to take up the whole space in the homescreen, when i use adw launcher the docks are not extended all the way. is there a workaround to this?
It's because the density is a bit lower on the Atrix. I supposed if your phone is rooted and used LCD Density Changer app, you can put it back to normal. Haven't tested the app out yet though...
check out these comments about th home screen
Let’s start with the homescreen. With the Atrix 4G’s higher resolution, Motorola felt it was necessary to size down the homescreen so that objects fit in at their native resolution for an 800 x 480 phone. But, any widget I tried from an external developer was able to stretch just fine using a replacement launcher. It’s a little annoying to have this big border around your homescreen since it serves no purpose.

in the screenshots thread Ive seen homescreens that are fullscreen, docks that stretched all the way....?
It is because of the higher density; right now I'm using a launcher with just one screen; composed of the moto messaging, wifi, GPS, calamder, and clock with something else.
I like the Widgets and the way they look. Definitely love the screen though.

I downloaded this today and messed around with it a bit, problem is that no matter what I do it never sets the wallpaper(s), I just get a black background on all my homescreens. Is there any way of fixing this issue?
I'm running GSB 3.8 and using Launcher Pro Plus if that matters.
Specify the path of the pics u want to keep as wall paper in "common settings".
I managed to glitch the live wallpaper setting and got it to work on Forth Bar Sense (FBS), then I choose a GO Theme (not the locker but system theme) and live wall was replaced by the theme background and it became impossible to bring back the live wallpaper.
The way I glitched the live wallpaper was to have the live wallpaper set on a ROM that supported it and then installed FBS and the live wallpaper remained, however, it does not mean you can change the live wall paper it just meant it existed. I had "wallpaper slide show" as the live wallpaper so there was no need to ever change it.
Now trying the glitch again does not work, since FBS was already previously installed it grabs all the settings from the previous installation it is like the settings from FBS were stored somewhere and they are applied automatically even with a fresh install.
Random ring tones and notifications has been a problem --- 10 apps all failures --- they only ever seemed to worked on CM7, not even stock ICS do the random tones work (talking about different phones here). Why can't Android just have this built into their code it would take all but 30secs to do... Can anyone truly get random tones working for the Amaze 4G with FBS?
Today I decided to pimp my phone by putting a specific widget on the lockscreen. Earlier in days of Android 4.0 to 4.4 I used TeslaCoils Widgetlocker for this purpose. But I discovered various issues with it on my Honor 7, which makes it unusable for me. Since it's last update was rolled out in 2013, I think it has to do with the android version. So I'm looking for an alternative lockscreen which provides these features:
Possibility of adding, scaling, moving and locking widgets on the lockscreen
Fingerprint support
Clean design / possibility to remove everything unnecessary (I basically want it to show my widget in the middle top part of the screen and a small digital clock in the bottom left corner, nothing else)
I hope you can help me I'm looking forward to any helpful hints.
Cheers!
Hi there
Some days ago I have sadly changed my HTC One M9 Plus after 3 and half years of service, the last of a 10 years experience with HTC from the HD2...what a sad situation about the brand.
Anyway I have bought a Samsung S9 Plus which seems not bad at all but I have some questions about it:
1) I have seen that is it possible to change the resoution of the screen, currently I'm on 2220*1080 but I could go for 2960*1440, anyway some widget already have small text, I have tried the upper resolution and a lot of things (icons etc) doesn't seems define enough to support it. What do you suggest?
2) I miss some HTC hystorc widget like the weather flip-clock and the contact widget for making quick call, do you know if there is a chance to install them on the samsung?
3) Is that possible to change the disposition of the system lower key (home, back and multitasking) ?
4) Is that possible to wake up the phone from the always on with a double tap?
5) Is that possible to have a wallpaper for the home and a different wallpaper for the all apps menu?
Welcome over from HTC. I too was a fan of their products until the last 4 years.
1. Yes, Settings -> Display -> Screen Resolution -> Select WQHD+ although will use more battery.
2. Download Sense Flip or Flipv2 from marketplace.
3. Yes, Settings -> Display -> Navigation Bar on the bottom -> Select your preferred order.
4. Not entirely sure if it's possible.
5. Not entirely sure. I prefer using a different launcher like Nova Launcher and use it to mimic Google as much as possible.
Hi there!
Thanks you very much for your answears!
I have tried the 2 widget that emulates the HTC flip clock but I don't I guess it's not the same thing as the original, also the have a low resolution for this phone.
I have also searched a contact widget to add photo of favorites contacts for quick calls, I have found some but they all are too much small for the resolution of the S9+

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use edge panel for favorite contacts with their photos, otherwise you have stock contacts widget which works just fine
Ok edge panel is nice otherwise the contact widget add too much small photo of your contact and also also you need to manually add one by one, you cannot have a table
