My battery seems to fly out the door, how do you close down some of the running applications? I don't want to download a 3rd party app just to be able to close browser or mediascape X_X
EDIT: Also, I am trying to delete some apps with Titanium backup, do yall recommend deleting Google talk, Play Now, User Guide and Use Support? And finally there is a toolbar that has 4 pictures (one with a dot and signals going up, one for blue tooth, one with a satellite dish letting off a signal and one that controls the phone, what do the 1st and 3rd ones control? I have no manual with this phone.
Edit Edit: (Lol) How do you set .mp3's for ringtone and notifications(and while we are at it custom wallpaper), and is there anyway to change the unlock process of the phone?
Really, thanks to anyone who answers even one of my 50 questions.

3rd party
On the beginning of the thread you said you didn't want a 3rd party app to close tasks. However you should use something like "advanced task killer". If you open the app you get a list of running apps and you can unselect the ones you want to remain running.
Then you get a 1 click widget that remembers that (un)selection, leaving those apps running and stopping everything else. Very useful.
BTW check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767849
The beauty of android is the amount of nice apps available!
EDIT: Just in case you don't read that thread through:
careful with LCD Density Changer you need ROOT with Superuser and busybox or your phone will brick
So better to stay away from that one.
Ya at the beginning I didn't want to use a 3rd party app to close tasks, it didn't make sense, now I can't get enough of ATK.
I have 2 new questions for everyone.
One how can I access the internal memory from my pc? And 2 how can I change the background color in menus like settings, messages etc. The blue background is super annoying.
I am cruious that does this work on the SGS2, including the animation and sound? Can this switch off the screen properly? Thanks

Didn't work in my case...
BUT!:
When i use an icon on the desktop or in notification bar, it works. But i have combined it with a swype option in Go Launcher Ex. When i swype up, the App is launched, the screen turns off, 2 seconds after that, he turns on again and [email protected]
So i dont think its a GoLauncher Problem, hm?
Edit:
Tried to connect a minimalistic text widget with screenlockanddonate.main activity. Same result

That's strange!
I just installed the GO Launcher EX using default settings and without any theme on my Nexus S, everything is fine. Also, I tried to use minimalistic text widget to launch Screen Off and Lock and found no problem. However, you use select "com.katecca.screenlockanddonate.MainHelper" instead of "com.katecca.screenlockanddonate.main", otherwise force close is expected.
It is also fine by using gesture in my ADWLauncher. So if you are free, could you please try to install other launchers to test it or send me the log using catlog for debugging?
Thanks a lot!

That was the point! Thanks!
In Go Launcher Ex i can only select the whole App. There it crashes.
In MinimalisticText i can select an Activity of an App. When i use MainHelper instead of Main, everything is fine.
So it's fixed and working with minimalisticText, which is ok for me.
I will talk to GoLauncher Devs to make activities selectable.
Thanks man!

Hello all,
I am running Check Rom V6 right now. I have 5 icons, dialer, contacts, messaging, home, and apps. I was wondering if someone could guide me on how to use these icons. They are all in a .png format. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

What launcher are you using? Most allow you to replace icons with ones of your choosing, you'll just have to put them on your sdcard.
If you're wanting to theme icons at the system level, or your launcher doesn't allow you to select a custom icon, then you'll have to modify apks.

Send me the icons and I'll make a flashable .zip for you that will change them, hassle free ( plus a recovery one so you can revert them if you don't like them ).
It's 2 minutes of work
Edit : I figure you want to change them while using Touchwiz, because replacement launchers do it easily anyway
Thank You Sir!!!!
I have uploaded the contacts messaing apps and all icons i dont need the dialer as it is stock look in the newest 2.3.6 builds

Edit : K, it's done

CWM -> Install update from sdcard ( don't worry about "enter the Vertumus world" text, I just edited Vert's zip a bit )
tested on my phone and works like a charm
Now I just need to wait till my CheckROM v6 finishes downloading so I can make a restore zip for you.
I'm not sure what the default icons are in new version and I need it anyway
Check this post later on. Post a screenshot when you flash it
Sir dont worry about the the restore packages i have a backup. I will post a screen shot thank you soo much though

Not strictly true - although it is an app drawer replacement.
Can change icons and names with this, my favourite ever app ever of all time ever.
As I've posted before, if there's an easier way to edit icons/text and retain functionality, I have yet to find it.
Especially because I couldn't modify an apk if my life was at stake...

Actually, the easiest way is using vrtheme, no need to modify apks or use anything else than the Touchwiz launcher itself

You have the list view in touchwiz too
Open appdrawer -> options button ( the one to the left of the home button ) -> List View...

Not joking, sorry. Haven't used nor installed TW launcher for about 7 months.
Live and learn - glad to be corrected, and not worried about my ignorance being on public display. Can hardly backtrack now can I?
Can you edit icons and app names there too?

Nah, Touchwiz basically sucks for everything I checked out that alternate app drawer app, it looks cool, pretty customizable I'm sure MIUI users adore it XD
I'd like to have an sms skin like the facebook messenger. Till now I didn't find any yet.
I'm willing to use any kind of app which is needed for it.

Handcent SMS has a similar theme if I believe correctly. Maybe you can give it a try.

The Textbox color is white in their screenshots in Play Store. Maybe it have an option to change the text box color but I'm not sure though, as I haven't used that app much. But there is an option to change colors, maybe you have to tinker with it more.

Hello,
I just updated my Mi10 to 12.2.2.0 Xiaomi.eu and everything seems to be working fine for me except two strange things with facebook messenger that are really frustrating:
1) it doesn't show messenger notifications on Always On Display, I have to turn on the screen and only then they show up
2) unread messages ARE NOT in bold font so I cannot see which are new after entering the app
I tried clearing the cache & data and reinstalling the Messenger twice, it didn't help. Tried changing the system font, size and weight - didn't help.
If you have encountered these problems, PLEASE tell me what to do, this is really frustrating as it is my main communicator to talk to people and it makes it very difficult.
Regards,
Chris

thank you for your suggestion, it solved the problem partially, the unread messages are still not bolded font but at least there is a blue dot on the right side so I see what was unread (it was removed in the newest versions). I guess it's some font conflict between messenger and my current ROM version...
