Like a lot of people I'm no fan of Androids share menu, the clutter drives me mad. So I went with Fliktu, but I noticed If I wanted to change my phones wallpaper (which as a new user I like to do) Gallery would crash telling me Fliktu has stopped working, which just puzzled me, I even tried the other Custom Share Menus everyone talks about in AppChooser and Andmade Share and had the same issues. It seems the Share menu is tied in with Wallpaper settings, anyone know how to fix this?

Hey guys. I'm running Aloysius V12 and have been using Beautiful Widgets. Love the look and it's fairly reliable as far as the time/date/weather go, but whenever I plug my phone into the computer, the style reverts to stock. I am very particular about the way it looks, because the way I have it now looks quite good with my wallpaper, but when it reverts, it doesn't match up well. Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things since I just have to restart the widget, but curious to see if anyone knows why the USB plug-in would make any difference. I have had this issue on BW 2.998 and 2.999. As a side note, does anyone know how to change the date font? Changing the clock font has no bearing on it, and neither do weather skins. Thanks in advance.

Beautiful widgets says, in its own documentation, that it doesn't work with SenseUI.
This is partially true. It works, sometimes, and for a while. my buddy has a small widget on his home screen that he has no troubles with, but I've used the brightness widget, a home screen one, and others.
I've had Sense randomly force close on me (MANY MANY times), when tapping the widget (or sometimes for seemingly no reason at all - presumably when the widget updates), and so on and so forth.
They 'Work', but they aren't reliable, that I've seen. I haven't used them since like 2.7 or so.
That's odd that the font changes when plugging it in.
I've been to their site a couple of times, but guess I didn't run across that. I asked this same question on android forums and the response had to deal with BW skins are saved on the sd card and once it is plugged in, then it doesn't have access to them anymore. I'm not sure if this is the exact reason, but makes as much sense as anything else I've thought of. Too bad it's not more reliable because the only competition that I have seen is Weather Widget donate. I don't have anything particularly against that one, but just can't customize it get the look I am going for...
I am running LGS 1.6 and the wallpaper doesnt scroll. Not that big of a deal, although I really liked it and all my wallpapers are set for that. Most dont fit now. Is there a way I can get it back to scrolling with out serious coding? Thanks.
I believe that has to do with the 3D scrolling, the wallpaper won't move with the home screens. I remember seeing a setting to stop that but I don't remember if it was on Liquid's ROM, BAMF, or it might have been in a seperate tool box. I do know the option to stop it is in a settings menu, somewhere.
Signature.
To begin with, I'm far from new to Android, just new to Samsung and the Note.
Also - I know I'm not the only one with this problem but I haven't run across a solution yet. I can take and image I want to use as a wallpaper and, on the lock screen and the Touch whiz home screen and it looks exactly like I want it to. But, since I'm one of those folks who dislikes the fact that I can't swap out apps on the TW launcher bar, I slap my own launcher on the Note to make it mine again. Unfortunately, then comes the annoying part.......
Whatever photo I put up as wallpaper looses resolution and seems to explode in size so that only about 1/4 of the original wallpaper/ photo is visible and what's left is very blurry. I know this isn't limited to just one launcher - I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro, Nemus, Go Launcher, Holo, and a few more I can't remember the names of right now. And they all give me the same problem.
So far I've changed the format of the wallpaper photo to .png or .jpeg and back again, tweaked the size and resolution of the picture, dug through XDA and a few other forums fort wisdom, and used harsh language on my Note - all to no avail. So, can anyone tell me what I'm missing or if there's any hope for me at all? I'm rooted stock 2.3.6 and would prefer, for various reasons, to stay that way for now. But, at this point I'm willing to consider options if all else fails since I'm getting quite annoyed by this.
Thanks for any help/ insight!
Use the Quickpic app to set the wallpaper.
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Hey all,
I recently downloaded an app called 3D PARALLAX BACKGROUND.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vinwap.parallaxwallpaper
Seemed like a cool and interesting thing, much like the new iOS feature. Background looked pretty awesome too once I was done installing...
Only problem is, it changed my lock screen to something else (I guess a default within the program) and no matter what I do, I can't change it back to stock.
I have tried uninstalling the app, restarting the device, changing lockscreen to every stock lockscreen available, etc but it still won't change back.
Super weird and it seems that I am the only person that has had this problem. I looked through the app reviews and nobody mentions it. Wondering if it's an HTC One problem... Running 4.2.2 Android Revolution 12.0
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have attached a screenshot of the lockscreen in question. It's a nice looking one at least, but I am not a huge fan of the functionality and I would rather have a 12-hour clock than a 24-hour one...
TL;DR App changed lockscreen, can't get the stock one back.

Well that was quick, I figured out it was a completely other app that was activated for some reason. Go Locker was the culprit. Problem solved
Good work bro

Hello kind strangers,
Have searched for the last two weeks for answers to my questions/needs/requirements but have come up with zilch.
Would very much appreciate your assistance.
I've rooted my htc m8 and flashed viper on it, I'm very pleased so far with the performance but and it's a big but, there are a few things lacking .
Here's a list of what I've been looking for:
1. Something that allows me to quick compose, quick reply, etc text messages from the lockscreen without me having to switch off my security password /pattern.
I've tried textra and glowfly, but none of these hit the spot.
I've been using Activator on my iPhone for years and am very surprised that Android doesn't have something similar.
Is there somethin like activator that allows you to make your own custom gestures as well as allowing you to change the functions of your hardware buttons?
Viper allows you to limited gestures etc, I want to be able to do gestures etc on my lockscreen, that actually opens apps and does things as opposed to taking me through the unlock process (am I goin too far now?:/)
2. I haven't used tasker yet due to being so new to Android, but have heard great things about it and will be looking into this more.
I'm assuming tasker allows users to swap profiles?
3. Multiwindows: I understand that Omni Rom comes with this function, but I don't want this Rom:/
What would be the best way to multitask without having to flash another rom?
4. What's the best floating app that you guys have used?
5. I really like customising my phone, viper does allow this , but is there another Rom that does this better without me losing sense? I thought I would dislike sense but it's started to grow on me.
6. Lockscreen apps - I've looked at both widgetlocker and dashclock and none of them appeal cause of the lack of security.
Is there somethin g that intergrates with the stock lockscreen, which will display notifications better, allow theming , widgets, as well as help with point 1 (quick compose and quick reply etc)?
I apologise in advance for the noobish questions, but I've spent more than a week searching for the answers and haven't found anything.
Would very much appreciate your input and thank you for taking the time to read this post.
Regards,
Swat Valley

Welcome to android.
Many of your wants and needs can be met by using the mod called the Xposed Framework. This little guy allows "hooks" on to various calls to the system and redirects them to the Xposed Framework and the modules that you add to it. With this enabled you can do everything from stop ads to mod the status bar, lock screen, themes, and so much more. One caveat: This is currently not working with ART runtime, but not likely you are running that anyway on the One yet. It's also already included in your rom.
Notifications from a a Pattern/PIN/Password locked screen:
http://gs4.wonderhowto.com/how-to/a...protected-lock-screen-your-galaxy-s4-0149781/
(yes it says for the GS4, but the module is listed to work with the One as well) http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.labtech.mod
Custom Gestures:
Lockscreen -
HTC Gesture Modifier http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mohammadag.htcgesturemodifier
HTC Sense 6 Toolbox http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.sensetoolbox.six
Anywhere but Lockscreen (unless you use a custom LS) -
Gesture Navigation + Multitouch Gestures http://repo.xposed.info/module/ind.fem.black.rayyan.xposed.gesturenavigation
All in One Gestures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
GMD GestureControl https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol
Tasker:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/guides.html
MultiWindow:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.zst.xposed.halo.floatingwindow
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.lovewuchin.xposed.xmultiwindow
Different interpretations of multitasking. There are also tons of different side bar type apps that you can access from swiping from an edge of the screen to activate shortcuts to your favorite apps, contacts, settings, recents, etc. that are accessible from anywhere but the stock lockscreen.
Swipepad https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android
Glovebox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.glovebox
Sidebar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.sidebar
And so on... (my fav is Swipepad, especially after the last update which improved the performance greatly)
Floating apps:
Sorry, don't really use them.
Custom Sense roms:
Not saying Viper is the best, but you won't really find much that will be MORE customizable than a Viper rom. There are a few on the same level though, such as InsertCoin, Renovate, SkyDragon, and RayGlobe currently.
Lockscreen:
You can enable adding widgets (also in Settings > Security) and the AOSP lockscreen (like on a Nexus device) from the Venom Tweaks app as well. I like some lockscreen apps, like WidgetLocker, but at the end of the day, the 3rd party lockscreen replacements are either lacking in functionality(there are some that do have good security options, most do not), use more battery power, and end up lagging because when you wake the phone it might take a sec for the app to turn on as well where typically the stock lockscreen will be instantaneous. As far as Notifications - well, the phone has that option too, under Settings > Security > Notification Settings. Another alternative is some like Metro Notifications https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nlucas.wp7notificationslite which displays notifications a la Windows Phone style (and iOS) as banners, giving you options to swipe to dismiss or click to launch.
Hope that will get you started on your quest.
