Hey there...
TouchFlo 3D is cool, but I think some customizations would be nice.
Is anyone hacking this APP (Manila) I am presuming? Cos I'd like to see some changes.
1. Status indicator when doing a send/receive on mails
2. Option to be able to view full text messages if its a bit long.
3. Option to lock some buttons by asking for a security code of some sorts
4. Option to exclude some photos from the Photo screen etc.
I know I might be asking for loads, but i think some of these mods would be nice.
I would love to use my own icons for my lock. But I really enjoy the rest of the lock screen for instance the touching of the lock icon which unveils the received calls, mail and sms. So is there a possibility of doing this myself?

Not sure about doing it yourself, but this thread could be a good start^^.
Real pitty but seems no one explains how to make one yourself.
Are there any developers here on XDA who have their own versions of lock screens for the HD2.
I have tried Kumar's ROM series which uses the Iphone like lock screen but it doesnt display unread sms and miss calls properly.
Secondly: I tried Duttys HD Rom series (currently) and it has the HD Mini style lock screen which even gives you a preview of unread messages, appointments, miss calls etc.
So are there other lock screens available ? I see people posting in other threads cool lock screens and mention something about CHT2.0 etc. So is it possible to have other cool looking lock screens which display other useful info too ??
With CHT 2, you can actually even personalize your lockscreen.
Plus, there are many themes prepared for you by other users, just browse the theme threads a bit, there are quite a few which include great lockscreens...

thanks....but i have never used CHT before...so a little confused !!
CHT 2.0 is easy to use, yet infinitely customizable. I highly recommend it.
lock screen
well I'm not sure about developers on xda and I'm not sure if i can put links here.
but i just purchased the pocket shield lock screen (way too expensive) but it is really pretty cool, has lots of settings and very customizable. no I'm not working for them.
on a side note I'm not sure if it's the lock screen or something else but since i put it on the phone i have noticed much better battery life.
and you can try before you buy!
i'll post a link please let me know if it's not allowed

I would recommend S2U2. v2.43 is the latest I think and its free. It allows you to disable the Windows lockscreen and replace it with S2U2 (no double unlocking)
Quite customisable and seems to be very stable. Also has notifications for SMS, tasks, missed calls, etc. Shows appointments as well. Many many settings. Reading the CHT thread the one thing that consistently seems to cause trouble is the built-in lockscreen.
Good luck with your choice
With Pocketshield the double-lock issue happens only when CHT installed and CHT lockscreen is enabled, but there is a workaround for that http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?2,10361,10509#msg-10509
But if you use no CHT there is nothing to worry about.

is pocketshield better or CHT lock screens ?any comparisons ?
pocket shield
in my humble opinion pocket shield is way better than cht. plus for some reason when i get a new msg if sms is running in the background touch-pal always pops up lock or not, but with pocket shield none of that plus it displays the text, voice mail calls {with pics i think} appointments.....and all that
the only real problem i find annoying about is that for some reason it constantly changes the internal text settings to "display msg" when received i hate that so when I'm done setting up pocket shield i have to disable that again but it does not affect how pocket shield works.
like i said it is heads and toes above stock, and cht and s2u.....but the cost is way too much it should be no more than 3-5 and they would make a greater impact in sales.

thanks !! i have a problem though after unsintalling pocket shield i lost DUtty;s default lock screen like HTC mini...i even downloaded htc mini lock screen but it looks very tiny can some one please help me and help me get my old lock screen back
Hi,
I like to be able to use my phone with one hand, for basic phone operation like making calls, sms, etc. This allows me to conveniently use my phone when my other hand is busy.
The current lock screen requires me to make a horizontal swipe action which is difficult to make with the thumb while holding the phone. Try this out on your phone please. What I need is a lock screen with a circular/diagonal swipe action. The attached image will illustrate this. Please pardon the crookedness of the drawing.
So, can somebody please make a lock screen with this particular feature. I'm sure others will find this useful too.
Thanks
Check out the program WidgetLocker.
You can add a rotary slider and many other styles.

Use lockbot from the market and select the x10 lock(app is free)
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
The rotary unlock that was stock on the Motorola Droid (original) and is now included in CyanogenMod works pretty well with one hand.
Im considering upgrading my Z5C, but I see f.ex small apps are missing, and Im so depended on them in my everyday life. I´ll really miss all of them, but I think the hardest one to let go of would be the Notes. The possibility to wuick open a note and write, and then safe it so it stays in the notification bar. I need to make To dos and reminder notes all the time at work and private life so need to have have easy access plus have them "in my face" for reminding me (no, dont want a widget on the main home screen since I want and need that cleaned from stress, haha, and swipe for home screen arnt in my face enough as when its in the Notification bar with the Small app Notes.).
So, Im woundering if anyone think Small apps will come back? Or know of any good apps to replace my Small app need?

I wish they could come back.
Actually the only replacement that I know is to open two apps on the screen which is possible on the new xperias.
Good luck
yes , I believe that the multiwondows option is way better than the small apps .
