Ok so on our HTC lock screens its nice when playing music that the play/forward/rewind buttons are still accessible without having to lock it.
Is there an apk to have more functions like my Agenda that is coming up from calendar or incoming text messages without having to unlock it. Its nice that maybe we can just check it and then reply back later.
Your help is appreciated. I hope something exists...
I'm using Coredroid V4.0 BTW if that makes any difference.
Thanks.

I constantly walk and text so hate having to look up to see if anything is coming. Is there an app out there that makes the sms screen transparent with the camera screen as the wallpaper? Or display a small camera image just above everything? Not sure if this is the right section for this so re-direct me if thats the case.Thankyou for your time and i look forward to any replies.
Probably possible, but who would take the time to implement it?
Idea of the year that
Already exists for the iphone, surprised it doesn't for android yet!
Actually it exists in the samsung own android store, check out the galaxy s section i think you can find the apk somewhere.

Same, might be because we're 1.6 and not 2.1.

Samsung Galaxy S's Road SMS app does this:

The 'add new widgets' feature now seems to be up and running for those of you might be interested.
excellent...already enjoying "word of the day", and the battery widget..
I really like the notes and tasks widgets. Very nice looking. I ended up going back to the Sense launcher rather than LauncherPro so I could use these widgets.
Thanks for the heads up. Some of these widgets are pretty handy.
I had been wondering why that feature hadn't been working. Thanks for the heads up!
ok I'm missing something.... where do you find this?

Go into where you add widgets...there is an option on the top, get more widgets or something like that...they are all listed there...you gotta download them first, then add them
Is this an indication that we can now use htcsense.com or is this unrelated?

EDIT: No, it does not appear that way. It looks like only the Desire Z and HD for now.
OUTSTANDING! Thanks a lot! This is the kind of thing I find in the first 2 minutes of having the phone. Then when it doesn't do anything I forget it ever existed. This one is back on the list to stay now.
There are some m really good widgets. Thanks for the letting us know.

the iphone had only one feature that our phone doesn't have.I've seen screen shots if other phones with the feature and am wondering if we can get it....
the iphone had thebottom for icons that remain when you jump from screen to screen and is configurable. what is that called and do we have something like that?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You can use shootme for screen shots and some ROMs like MIUI have it built in. And for the 4 icons that don't move alternative launchers like ADW and Launcher pro etc. have that and it wont movie when you move screen and you can change it to your needs

Miui is a rom that looks just like the iphone. it has the 4 icon dock. You can hold and drag the icons to change them up. Miui is a look alike of the ios.

Look at adw ex it has a second dockbar that can be used on any screen and is configurable.
thanks for the two replies...
i found them to be buggy and/or insufficient because i lost all the htc sense features. or maybe coredroid is that good of rom to make me not want to lose what i currently have.
I flashed a mod yesterday that gave me a transparent rosie and also keeps the dock at the bottom on all the home screens. Unfortunately it isn't customizable but it is a nice little add on.

standard practice is to make a Nandroid backup before you flash anything..you did that...right?

Luckily I also got the stock rosie to flash back. It should undo the mod but I haven't tried it myself cause I like the transparent look.

It's fast. I don;t know how it compares to Soundhound because I never used it.
Absolutely loving this widget. Much faster then shazam in my experience, seems to find all the songs I have tried, has a button to buy the song on the widget which is great too. It fits perfectly on my 10 by 5 screen (using nova launcher), only issue is I wish there was an option to make the background transparent. Thanks for posting this.

Love it! I was getting so bored with the stock lock screen. It's really hard to believe this is only in beta. Keep up the great work! Just one thought... changeable themed icons.

Yes, very cool! Trying now.
+1 @projectvomit on the themed icons.
I have noticed a strange thing. When booting, the phone will boot into original lockscreen for about 10-20 sec. Then start Cover. Is there a way to boot directly into Cover? This is minor to me, but I have a feeling some people would cry about it.
