[APP] GOTO the lockscreen that should of been the default one - Nexus One Themes and Apps

I searched and I don't think this has been posted before
Here is an app that works great, it does have some bugs but i'm sure the DEVs will fix them with new updates.
"Overview
We designed GOTO to give you access to the information you care about without slowing you down.
Numbers appear over the notification icons in the navigation bar at the bottom so you know when there's something new.
Simply slide the thumb icon under the notification icon to preview and release to jump right to the application. If there's nothing new you can slide the thumb icon all the way to the right to unlock."

I agree...I actually thought that's what they were going to do with the old 2.0 launcher being that it had other unfilled circles....that one's great...just a bit too stylized for my taste...doesn't really match stock Android...unless it can be themed.

I'm stuck in a force close loop with this damn thing. It kept foce closing on me when I installed it, so I thought a reboot might clear things. When I did, I get the lock screen, but if I take any action with it, I'm stuck in a force close loop.

its not a very smart app, but if more work is put into it, it will be much better
it works fine with me, but it doesnt have any settings
when im on the lock screen, and i press the home button, it goes directly to home without needing to slide to unlock

At least you can refund in the android market place. FC-looping For The Lose

its working fine for me

Theres quite a few lock screens on the market that i like including this one but they all have the same problem it unlocks your phone when you press the home key which makes them pointless for me. It looks cool tho

Can someone who has installed it test and see if/how it works with a lock pattern?
TIA.

I probably would've installed it if it had three things:
Stability
Actually locking your phone so the home-key doesn't work
Themed like stock 2.2
As it is now it's pretty useless in my opinion.

Fyi, I've been in contact with the developer, he's stated that he doesn't want to start supporting multiple roms, but if someone with Cyanogen is having force close issues, he'd be willing to look at a log to see if there's anything that can be tweaked to work with Cyan's rom. If you're getting force closes, could you forward a log to him?

Can't find it on the market. I tried the barcode, too. I'm using CM 6.0.0-RC1 and I am from Germany.

No lockscreen app will ever be worth my time IMO, they all have issues. Only one worth a damn ever has been an actual lock screen replacement.

Actually not bad, will try when it gets some update

It has been updated to 1.15 apparently with more preferences and customizations. Does anyone know exactly what the new preferences are?

I was already quoting the release notes
"Added new settings app to allow for more preferences and customizations"
other than changing the way the wallpaper works, the user name, and the sounds are there any other "preferences and customizations" that are not listed

Hmm, that's warez right? You better ensure it's not against the rules..
In any case, I just bought it because it looks real cool. However there are quite a few bugs in this.
If the screen turns off during an app like a browser and you unlock the screen, it should go back to the browser. However, if you then try to exit the browser with the back button, it will go back to the Goto lockscreen, resulting in an endless loop with browser and lockscreen. This is a really bad bug. The only way out is to manually take out the battery to restart the phone. The way around is to enable the home button as that would bring you to the home screen instead of the browser.
Currently the developer is looking at this but still no updates...
Another bug is the camera/volume button cannot be disabled in my case. Pressing the volume buttons will wake the screen whether they are disabled or not.
There are a few other minor bugs but these 2 are major ones that's preventing it from being perfect.
Still I love the slider and 3 animated icons. Hopefully the dev will fix it up.

Can we remove the Emergency Call button from the pattern unlock screen yet?

With all of the new developments with the lock screen, I was wondering if anyone has re-looked into removing the 'Emergency Call' button from the lockscreen?
Would be greatly appreciated if someone can figure that one out
I don't use a pattern unlock. Are you talking about HTC's unlock or vanilla?
Edit: Nevermind, it's apparently the same for both. I told you I never use it. lol
Yeah, they're both the same.
If you Google it, there's dozens if not hundreds of people asking for this to be removed -- so many accidental 911 calls while trying to unlock, or calling from people's pockets. Occasionally I unlock with my left hand and dragging around on the screen isn't as precise. I've almost called them myself.
Well this one is beating me so far. haha. I removed the actual emergency "+" no problem. But the text and button are currently winning. lol. I am transferring my site between hosts now and need to work on that as it could take time. But this is now on my "must figure it out" list.
on the hero it brings up a dialer, it won't directly dial 911, did that on the samsung moment accidently before i got the hero
Good news / bad news....
After doing a lot of digging (it wasn't in the normal places for removing stuff like this) I was able to find the button! The reason it's not in the normal places is it's actually a widget; which I found interesting.
The down side is that removing it will crash the phone on bootup. I'll play with it more but for now I really need to work on moving my site.
Nice detective work! Could a blank widget that does nothing when clicked take it's place?
Yea, I second/third/fourth/hundredth this request. I cannot tell you how many times I've pocket dialed ######*****38472938471928374982 to "Emergency" from the unlock pattern screen. Quite friggin' annoying if you ask me.
With the hack to kill the Menu Menu bypass this doesn't seem to be so much an issue any more but I would still rather see the button either made really small or removed.
Saw the other post about the emergency call button being removed on vanilla lockscreen.
Can it be done with the pattern unlock screen?
Thanks

Just saw this thread, and since I had the hood up on the applicable framework file, for the clear vanilla lockscreen, figured I'd take a look.
Are you guys looking for something like this ?

Also you can make it go to your dialer, then you can use it as a "iforgot my lock pattern call a friend and see if they know it" lol ill edit with a link in a little bit

Can you also incorporate this into the HtcLockscreen?

The pattern function unlock is not part of the HtcLockScreen. It is in the android.policy.jar file, which is what I have posted.
If you are running the stock lockscreen, just flash Option #2, and then you don't have to worry about the second half for modifying the XML file. That is for the Vanilla lockscreen only, though it certainly won't hurt.
Is there anyway to remove the Emergency Call button from just the regular non-HTC lockscreen? Because for some godknowswhat reason, they decided to put it RIGHT OVER the unlock button... you can test this by putting your phone in airplane mode, then taking it out, and then you'll get No SIM as the carrier, and Emergency Call "so conveniently" placed.

That was a bug that caused it to show up after disabling and enabling airplane mode. I posted a fix in J's thread that he linked earlier and he integrated it in to his patches.
Thanks flipz, I'll look around for it.

[APP] Go Home - a Home Button Replacement App

Ever wanted an app which you can run which just takes you to your home screen?
Have you broken your home button, and now to get to your home screen, you have to press back continuously?
No longer will you desire such an app - It is here for you!
An app so simple that it doesn't need options.
Just run it and it takes you to your home screen.
----
Note: On the first run of the app, a blank screen may appear for a short time before it redirects. Do not worry this is normal behavior! Every run after that, it will redirect to your home screen.

And how exactly do you launch the app when you can't get to your app drawer except from your home screen? Kind of stupid, if you ask me. You should make it so that it keeps a persistent notification that takes you home when selected, because the notification bar is everywhere, the app drawer button is not.

I use the app called switchpad to put it as a menu attached to one edge of my screen.
I am just a beginner developer so I will attempt to include the persistent notification feature in my next release.

It's a fantastic idea, but I'm not familiar with switchpad. It's a great start, but I think the most mainstream usage of it would be the persistent notification.
I didn't mean to come off as sharp, I know developing takes time and effort, so keep at it
Thanks
I'm currently working on the persistent notification, and have added it. Im just double checking everything works properly before release...
The release after this will have an option as to enable it or not haha.
John
You can also use an app called LaunchKey that attaches to the long press of your search button. This may help for those with just a broken home button.
I am not familiar with the app from above, but WaveLauncher would work as well. It allows gestures from the area of the screen you define (similar to the swipe up on the Palm Pre). It also has a nifty feature that if you press and hold for a user defined time on the gesture area, it will launch its own app drawer from within any application.
Great job on this simple but useful app! Keep it up! I know a few people with broken buttons that may benefit from this.
I use an app called zMooth which replaces the Menu, Home and Back buttons with swipe gestures that you make at the bottom of the screen.
Here is a video of it running on my Droid X, the video is a little choppy but it gives you an idea of how it works.

I prefer it this way because I use wavelauncher and I don't need another app running in background
Launcher pro short cut can also do this
I too use swipe pad a must for big screen like sgs2,n I too felt the need for a way to trigger home,i googled but cudnt find any thing but just few days ago I tried to put launcher pro as short cut on the swipe pad n it did the trick ,wht am I now missing is a way to to show recent app ,as u normally get by holding ur home button any one knows the way to it,
And how is this different from using Home Manager to create a shortcut to your home screen to use with SwipePad? Home Manager simply allows me to do all what your app can do and even more, like switching between launchers and shortcut on the notification bar

[APP] Rocket Launcher! What do you think?

Hello XDA!
Me and my pal Crazy J made an Android Home Screen Replacement app and are trying to get it popular. It's called Rocket Launcher and it looks something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
We made a video tutorial on how to use it in case some of you don't get some parts of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGsa-EAtkDM
You can also download it from the market here: <Paid version><Free versions>
Really amazing concept.
What is the difference between the two versions?
I think preference is spelled wrongly as well.
No way to redorder widgets?
Hey! Thanks for the kind words, let me answer your questions:
1. The difference right now is the paid version dosen't have an add in the app drawer, although that add is not producing that much revenue anyway. So the paid version is just basically to support us. So far it's paying the electricity bill but it's only doing that mind you.
2. Where is it spelt wrong?
3. Yeah you can, it should explain that in the video. If it dosen't: you just press the bar next to the widget, and then press the bar of a different widget and they will get swapped.
i like your choice for a name
are you limited to only having 6-7 icons on the screen?
Ads in a launcher are a no-go. Why not just disable an option or add something special to the paid version?
I will never use a launcher that features advertisements - the free version of the W7 launcher is the only other one I can think of, and I used it for all of 2 minutes before the ads drove me insane.
@GoneMADSoftware No you can have as many as you want in that strip in the middle
@Braneless You do have a point since right now we are making nothing off the adds, except people complaining about their existence. I'll think of something that the paid version will feature so the users will use it.
I looks cool

Like the look of the launcher a lot, if we could move widgets themselves it would be nicer, if you only have one widget you can't move it... also not all of my apps show in the list. More home screens and icons would be nice, no landscape mode, it cuts it off and the ability to scroll makes the launcher move around in portrait mode landscape just doesn't look right.
Great concept, keep up the work guys and I agree, great name for a launcher.

If you only have one widget you can move it arou... I don't follow. It's a widget list, like an app list, a lists start at the top therefore the first (and in this case only) widget would be at the top... where else would it be? I mean it's clearly a list of widgets so where else would you have it?
The fact that not all of you apps still baffles me. I just can't seem to find a way that works to get all the apps, properly, on all model phones. The way its done now seems to be the standard one and it works on most phones... what model phone do you have? I'll think of something... I do have 2, 1000-or more page android books lined up to read, if only my E-book reader would arrive this century, but i digress.
More home screens... i'd rather use the one home screen that exists already and expand it sideways with more branches. So you can add more icons and what-not. If i just add more screens it's like every other launcher out there.
I don't want it to have a landscape mode and i will probably remove the dodgy landscape that it has right now since it looks very wired. The launcher moves a bit in portrait mode because on a HVGA or QVGA screen the picture itself is bigger than the screen of the phone therefore a QVGA user won't be able to see all the icons without scrolling. I do admit that the slight movement of scrolling that it dose right not is a tad annoying and i will get around to fixing that; but there are only so many hours in the day and i've been having huge issues with sony xperia phones not displaying the icons of apps since yesterday so... need break!
Cheers for your feedback though!
Suggestion
Cool concept. Being able to select the icons on the home screen would be nice. Like the look of the stock ones from the launcher but prefer to use different SMS and Launcher apps. Having those apps Icon's mixed with the Stock phone etc. is less clean then it could be. Keep up the good work

Installed the update. Still not working, only now it is worse than before.
It still wouldn't allow me to switch apps, it still didn't launch on phone boot up, but now the update prevented me from being able to install apps from the Amazon App Store. I'd hit the install button after the app had downloaded, but it wouldn't register the button press. I could hit the cancel button though just fine. Play Market apps installed just fine. As soon as I Force Stop Fast5, I cold install apps from Amazon just fine.
Very weird. It works perfectly on my device (SGS2) and my friends devices and all emulator devices (2.1+) and i do not get other complains... what's going on?
Have you installed custom rom or something? Do you see all 5 icons? After pressing nothing happens? Or an error?
I would understand if you'd get some errors, but if it's not booting with the device? There is no way it won't boot at normal device configuration...
Thank you for you cooperation!
Have a look...:
see it in action
I think it's isolated issue but I'll try to fix it for you if you'd like to use this app . Wain for report (if you sent it)
Works fine for me. Absolutely perfect!
its a simple task switcher. didn't see any task "manager" function in app(where we able to kill tasks). or it will be available in the future updates?

Yep it's a switcher. Will change topic name, sorry. But it works fine for you, right?
It works now on ICS too. There should be a new version active on the market within 1 hour (as always). There was one issue. Fixed.
I will test it. Great job
Edit: "error process buy" say my market
Defy > Defy+
Sorry my bad english
Error process buy? Lol... it's free. Did you try do it from the PC? Market kinda buggy thing. Thanks!
I had no problems with installation nor application so does my friends .
Updated version has been released. Should be working fine for everyone, regardless of Android version (2.1 +).
Try it
the update fixed task-clicking on ICS
- could you please add #111111 as an background color option? that's the color used by android for notification backgrounds
- when opening notification area the icons reorder after like 1-2 seconds. I guess that's because the app isn't running in bg permanently but it's still quite annoying, especially when you're just about to hit one of the icons and then it gets replaced with a adifferent one
- is it possible to have more than 5 apps? (yeah yeah, then the name wouldn't make sense anymore, but...) there's so much whitespace between the icons, it'd well fit 7 of them
Sure. No problem. Download an updated version (should appear on the market within one hour) and tell me if you'd like something more. Everyone else too . I'll see what i can do.
As for 7 icons instead of standard 5 on really large screens: could you please send me an email or post me here if you don't mind everyone looking how do it looks on your screen?
Thanks!
thanks for adding ICS color.
for large screen: just turn your phone 90° to widescreen and you can see it for yourself
any idea about the slow updating?
Check out the newest update (v 1.08). Tick a checkbox in preferences, restart an app and see if that fits your needs . As for more than 5 icons - i'll figure it out if you want to
Cheers!
seems good so far. will report back after some more usetime when it's got a bit more to do than show low-memory-apps what does the checkbox do? start a persistant service?
could you please close the notification bar when selecting an app? always makes me think the click wasn't registered.
No, it just shortens update time . Don't worry if it works right . As for notification: will put an option to do so shortly.
Cheers!
This app blocks the 3rd Party App Install on my device (Motorola Defy). You can still press the cancel button, but the install button has no function.
Tested it on a custom CM7 Version and on a Official CM7 Version(with fullwipe).

Wake up screen home button
What i would like to see is an app that wakes up/ unlocks my Note 5 screen when is turned off. And that doesn't effect the battery that much, like 5-6 percent all day usage. Thnx
Thats not possible anymore unfortunately.
Works great but itd be nice to have a quick toggle to turn this function on or off easily without having to open the app as it interferes with fingerprint verification. I see the blacklist option but I haven't been able to get that option to work, and I tried multiple apps that required verification.
Thanks for pointing that out. Found the bug. will be fixed in next release. Uploading soon.
No blacklist needed for that
I'll definitely keep an eye for the update, I went ahead and got pro cause I really like this app VS other similar ones as there are more options.. And I think having blacklist is better than having to need to toggle on and off
How different is it from the app finger touch
It is way way slower than fingertouch service app.

I like this a lot more than the other one, no burst of vibration on even half a second touch.
One down side is vibration is not consistant, sometimes I get a single vibration and other times dont get vibration at all, which I much prefer.
Nice work nevertheless.
This works great thanks, can i ask you what icon pack you are using in the above picture, your setup looks great, many thanks

Depends, if you use long press actions it surely waits shortly. But if you activate speed mode its instantly.

You dont even need to blacklist in new version. You can authenticate in browser or similar and after this easyHome will kick in again automatically.

You can disable vibration in the easyHome. I dont get any on my S7 here then.

easyHome was created over 1,5 jears ago. It has gained lots of features and functionality over this time and works pretty flawless currently.
You can use long press actions, haptic feedback, blacklist apps and authenticate in browser or similar without problems.
So far the new update seems to be alot better, I haven't been able to go through all of the verification needed apps to make sure but my most important ones are working.
I personally like this app over fingertouch because of the hold to launch an action, and also having the feedback option to be able to discern when a proper action was attempted or not, is a big plus for me. Maybe not haptic feedback but having sound feedback is nice for doing the long command.
Fingertouch works great too. Having a nougat quick tile is nice for when things aren't working properly. But although any tap on the sensor will go to home, since it uses your setup fingerprint signature for a reference in some way, if the finger your using isn't one setup in your system it will vibrate like a failed fingerprint attempt. I only have (1) thumbprint setup for verification in my phone but I don't always use that setup thumb to tap to go home. So I was constantly getting an error vibration and it threw me off. Also with fingertouch, you have to toggle on and off when needing to use fingerprint verification since it doesn't have a feature that will allow you to do both actions at the same time.
Yes, but i have to buy it... Other app is free and does the same.

Basic funtions are also free here plus you get a blacklist option.
And 1,49€ for the full version is really not too much i hope.
Fingetouch is a great app too. You luckily have the choice on android
Yes, they are. It is a good app. I don't know why, but today it restarted my s7 edge for 2 times. Never had a restart in a year by phone itself. I uninstalled it and it is ok. :/

Using easyHome since i created it and never had a reboot so far...
Yeah, dont know what happened. Maybe some conflict in processes. Your app is great. Cheers.

I've been using this app very heavily the last two days as I'm off of work for a short period. Once I installed the update in the OP , I noticed that the only real issue I've had at all, is sometimes if I enter into either the Google app or Chrome but on e I enter those programs easyhome no longer works, it shows it running in the notifications but untill I turn my screen off and right back on, the easy home function doesn't work.. I don't have that problem at all if I try to enter in samsung Internet beta.. Only really an issue when using GA, otherwise I use samsung net.
I had another little hiccup trying to verify a purchase on Google play but I'd imagine that the nature of the beast when turning the senor into a capacitive button. I went to purchase an app and it immediately prompted me to use my worded password cause fingerprint wasn't available at that time. I closed easyhome and then I was able to use my print.
I recently started using easyhome and a double tap to wake app to save my ADD button presses and i really like both
When I open folder from home screen, start an app within folder, and touch home button, this takes the screen back to the folder, not back to the home screen.
UPDATE
Samething when I repeat the above procedure, from app drawer folder instead.
Just wondering, is this intended?
