I'm looking at creating my own lock screen (replacement) app - not an app that locks the screen, and was hoping some of you kind, helpful people on here could point me to any tutorial(s) that can get me started.
Thank you.

Hello,
The lock screen on my hero has the curved grey bar with time, date and operator on it. The problem is, the operator name "Virgin Mobile" won't fit. For some reason it wraps "Mobile" to another line and you can only see the tops of the letters.
Any way to change the look of the lock screen (for instance, to the stock Android lock screen)?
Or alternatively, can I remove that lock screen completely, since I use the pattern unlock as well, and it's annoying unlocking the lock screen then having to do the pattern lock as well?
Thanks in advance.
Until somebody techy give you a proper answer try this. Press menu twice to get past the curved bar lock screen (one to wake up & the other to unlock)

I haven't tried anything like that myself yet but there are two posts over in 'themes and applications' section which might be helpful for you, here and here.

I downloaded Flyscreen from the market place last night & it was pretty cool, It puts twitter, facebook, calender, sms, rss information on a new look lock screen. If you want to read about it first check the link out

I hope this is the correct place for this thread, my apologies if it is not.
After some searching i did not find anything.
I'm just wondering if there is currently an app out there that allows certain applications to use the rotation sensor on our phones, but not other applications.
For instance i like to text message in landscape mode sometimes but when i go to my home screen and tilt my phone at all, the home screen will go to landscape which i don't like because it takes a long time to switch back and forth between portrait and landscape and seems to be overly sensitive to the axis of my phone.
Does this application exist? If not, how hard would it be to create? i feel like i'm not the only person who would enjoy this application so any help would be wonderful.
I don't know if an app already exists specifically for your needs but your home launcher itself should have an option to turn off the screen rotation altogether without turning it off for everything else.

Yes i know about this feature. I'm looking for something for allowing it to switch for certain apps but not all. any idea how hard this would be to create?
Have you tried Smart Rotator? Seems like it may do what you want. Available in the Market.
Try this, maybe it'll help for what you need?

Ah! thank you very much macellaio, this seems to be EXACTLY what i was looking for, although it does seem to take up a good chunk of RAM (25MB) thank you very much. no clue why i couldn't find that.
Hello, I know i'm going to die as maybe i didn't place this post correctly, also i'm not a developer, only a graphic designer.
I'm looking for some advise, hope someone could help me with that.
Imagine that you launch your app, and within that there is a button that says "Install widget". You press that button, then the app closes and a widget appears on the home screen.
Is that possible?
i've been reading that before 4.2 i wasn't, but something changed from then. Problem is that i have no more information about this, and also i don't know if it changed over time.
I'm behind the graphic design of a widget. The idea is that you first download the app, which will help you to configure the widget, and then you have to manually place the widget in place.
They are afraid that some people wont understand, and they will cease trying.
I only would like to know if this is possible, (or something similar) and if someone knows any APP that does this thingie.
Note: APPS like "Swiftkey" guides you in the process of installing your keyboard. it asks you to go to a determinate place of the phone settings, and gives you a shortcut to that place so you don't have to go by yourself.
It would be amazing. To directly place a widget o to guide them trhough shortcuts.
Many many thanks in advance!

Good morning.
I am looking for a very simple, single purpose "app" that doesn't seem to exist
I want an app that simply returns to the home screen.
Reason:
I want to use my Bixby key on Galaxy S10 as "Home Button" (BUT):
I do not want to use button re-mappers as this is redundant and irritating.
(So that any phone's gesture or key settings that will load an "app" (but not an activity) can go to home screen without other monitoring or remapping software running).
The stock software already allows the remap of the Bixby button to a different "application" (Not activity), So I am in search of a small app that does just that - simply calls / loads / launches the home screen and closes. Period. I've read many people want the key as "back button" and a small app that does only "back" would be cool too. I wish I had time to SDK and tinker like I used to do with Windows :
Anyone know of such a thing, or willing to throw a paragraph of code into an APK for fun ? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks everyone...

Hi, guys. I hope my post doesn't break any rules around here.
I have an Asus Zenfone 7 Pro, and I'm using gesture navigation. Sometimes, in landscape mode, it's harder to go to home screen by swiping from the side.
The phone has the "smart key", which is basically the power button with fingerprint sensor on the side. It has the option to customize it for various functions or shortcuts, but not to act as a home button. It has the option to open a certain app.
So, is there a way to make the simplest app that when opened it will send you straight to home screen and close itself? I'm trying to avoid rooting the phone for this.
Please
This may help.
On Samsung's I run One Handed Operation plus to allow multiple swipe gesture based switches from the sides of the display.
The link above describes how to implement a similar XDA app on non rooted phones.
