I tried to change the default gallery app in the settings (to F-Stop), but it always reverted almost immediately. Is there a way to fix that?
Settings - Apps - Settings - Default app settings - Gallery, select your custom gallery app which has been installed.

Or you can download something to manage your launchers:
https://market.android.com/search?q=home+switcher&c=apps
Just hit Settings / Preferences / Exit GO Launcher.
From here you can choose a launcher (abd make it default) by pressing the home button.

Is thgere is any application / tweak to show the calendar entries on lock screen ?
like - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.lockscreenCalendar
but this app does not work on SGS2.
Which Rom are you using? If you are using ICS Resurrection ( I am using 1.9.1), you can go to settings--> Rom Control --> lockscreen Options --> lockscreen calendar.
From there, you can enable the lock screen calendar and then you will have a list of different calendar options when you enable it.
Good Luck
you can install CM9 and try the calendar app again. Does it work on WanamLite (according to your sig) if you use AOSP lockscreen?
Not working on my ROM.
i am searching also for such an app.
There are some paid applications it seems, but no free /trial versions to check.
Hi,
I'm trying to move some widgets from the drawer but I get a message about "Due to limitations of the Android framwork, you cannot add widgets from the drawer without root access" The thing is, I do have root access. How can I get around this?
If you not rooted yet, just add widgets through the home screen not from the app drawer.
press and hold(in the home screen in empty space) and add widgets

Hello everyone!
Is this a app drawer bug or a shortcut? Here's the video: sendvid.com/smov18rd
If I put other apps in the place of the Settings or Google Settings it opens that apps, like this shortcut opens the 2 middle applications of the app drawer.
Bug or Shortcut?
Thank you

Hello Friends
Please post the customizations you made in your stock miui rom without root
You can post anything that makes our phone better
It will be really helpful
I will post everything i did to my device
Most of the below mods work in every device running miui and other OS's
It really took me a lot of time searching
And writing this thread
So please do press the thanks? button if i was helpful
Note: Miui kills the background apps and stops them to run properly.so u will face problems in running the following apps and mods
To fix it you have to remove all restrictions for all the apps
To do so:
1.Go to app info and the battery saver and select "No "Restriction
2. In the app info setting check the Autostart option
Tips
Enable Developer Options
Go to Setting/About Phone
And tap "MiUi Version for Poco" 7-8 times
Now devloper options is enabled
Go to Setting/Additional Setting
And u will find developer options
Note : Developer Options will be Required for some of the following Tricks.So u have to enable it.
◽️ Change Display Size
Enable Developer Option and
Change smallest Width to 420
Using small Display Size Makes Things a little bit Smaller
You can see more contents in the Screen
◽️ Change Animation Scale
(You Can Also use Quick Setting App to change Animation Scale.You just need to add animations tiles in quick settings
and from quick settings click on tile and choose your preffered animation scale)
Change Animation Scales to Make your phone a little bit faster
Use Adb and Run Following Commands
adb shell
settings put global window_animation_scale 0.75
settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.75
settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.75
Note:Recommended Animation Scale is 0.75 But You can use custom animation scales
I know there is an option of changing animation scales from developer options in settings
But you can only set animation 0.5 or permanently disable it
Tricks
◽️ Enable Round Google Search Bar Widget
First add the google search bar on your home screen
Then open google app
Click More/Customize Widget
Customize it acc to your likings
Done
