[APP REQ] Hide-a-Widget.

I have an idea for an app, but no means to make it myself.
I would like an app that you can apply to widgets on your home screen. It would make them disappear. Then when you want to use the widget, tap the space where it was on the screen, and it reappears. This way you could have a very clean home screen with a nice wallpaper and no icons, until you need to use them.
Anyone up for the challenge?

I agree. This could be really cool if someone can develop this.

Anyone... I think this would be really awesome. The ability to have a minimalist home screen, but in one touch have widgets, or shortcuts appear would be awesome.

Lockscreen

I downloaded the Inspired Ace rom which I love and has increased my battery life like I didn't think was possible. My question is the lockscreen. How do I change the sense screen to the standard froyo or gingerbread type that slides left to right and allows you to change ringer on/off?

Widget locker. That's what I use.

You can remove or rename htclockscreen.apk and it should show up automatically. Not 100% sure one the apk name but I think I am remembering close.
Located in /system/app

note: if you use the above process (deleting the apk) your alarm will not work.

Widgetlocker looks pretty cool, I think I might have to check that out.

Widget locker is the best. You can make multiple unlock bars, widgets on the lock screen, change the lock bar style, etc. Absolutely worth the cost.

I guess my question is how do you use the add ons in the rom. It has the option while downloading to enable the htc lockscreen but I want to use the stock froyo slider that I'm guessing it also has. How do I change the lockscreen? I would post this in the rom forum but I can't yet because of my number of posts.

[REQ] Lockscreen MOD themes

Hi, i just was looking for themes for the lockscreen, but no results... I've only found apps that make my phone slower and more laggy when unlocking...
So where could i find mods to change the appearance of lockscreen dor root users????
If they dont exist, a new thread for new mods could be created...
EDIT: tried "lockbot pro" + "no lock" combination... Works very very very well without any lags... No errors, no dual lockscreen and can put some themes (ics theme too ).... Its very inntegrated with the os.... Works exacatly as stock lockscreen... But cannot use widgets... Ahhhhhh

I use widgetlocker. Slows the phone a bit but still fast

No, i have discovered lockbot pro.... It run so smooth... As i am using ics theme ,i have cose the ics theme for lockbot... Let me see it how it runs....
However im not looking for that... Im looking for a mod, to modify the stock lockscreen, because its the only one really integrated with the OS
Edited: uau, its works very well, but still laggy ...nothing like stock lockscreen xdxd

I'm quite interested in this too, I used widgetlocker for a while, and loved having pacman to pull across the screen to unlock, but if u want to have any form of security on ur phone, a lock pattern or pin number u have to unlock with widgetlocker, then slide the stock unlocker, and THEN do ur pattern or code, its a pain in the arse!!
I've been playing with a HTC Desire HD lately, and I love the lock screen on that, where u pull a ring to the centre of the screen, or to the thing u wanna do, like camera, phonem sms, etc.

maybe this can help you.
install no locker from market. open it and select lockscreen disabled then run widgetlocker and there you go. no lags or double locks

Have you tried to make a theme for just the lockscreen using UOT? Try it here... UOT Kitchen You can do an entire theme or just pick the thing you want to theme out. Not sure exactly what your going for, but using UOT you can change the appearance of the lock tabs, color, even the icons on the lock sliders. Enjoy!

Have you tried GoLocker?

Sense 4 lock screen shortcuts

Remember how when the first ring lockscreen came about we could change the shortcuts?
It seems with Sense 4 they mimic what you have in the launcher bar. Can't change them unless you change the ones in the launcher.
That's kind of lame
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/04/18/change-lock-screen-apps-htc-sense-4/

seems pretty smart to me, if you put stuff on the launcher bar its a pretty good bet you are going to want to have fast access to those apps.

I agree - so need to get creative with just the 4 choices. Luckily ICS allows shortcut folders. Decision on whether you want something 1 click or 2+.

There's gotta be an XML edit that can be made to Rosie or , wait, wouldn't be rosie, damn, I'm trying to remember the name of what controls lockscreen. Haven't run sense in almost a year, will edit when I remember. Sorry

I think it makes since to use the dock icons too. Here's the issue I have with the lock screen:
I have my lock screen set up to show notifications, buttons when I receive a text message it only shows the number and not the contact name. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Fusion apk. That's what I was trying to remember. XML edits in fusion would probably break the dependency. IDK, haven't had a chance to look at sense 4 yet.

I did notice that if you using a launcher like Apex then you can set up the short cuts you want on your lock screen by setting them in sense the go back to apex and set the ones you want in your dock there.

How does it make sense to limit customization? That doesn't make sense lol the camera for instance isn't on my dock bar, but I would love that to be on the lockscreen, which I could do on 3.6.

Yeah, annoyed with that also... For example, I want access to Spotify on lockscreen, but don't need it in my dock all the time. :/

Widget locker is an option.

Actually, it works perfect for me. I hate the Sense launcher, so I use Nova (Similar to ICS-Stock). I just put the 4 apps I want from the loackscreen on the sense launcher tray, and then never open the launcher again.

+1 on an alternate launcher.
Using Apex and liking it better than stock given the fact that I can now have some gesture support on the home screen AND have different dock icons than lock screen icons.

Lock Screen Programming

I've dabbled with android programming before and am interested in getting back into it. I just got a new phone (LG G5) and noticed that it has an animated lock screen that changed effects as you swiped to unlock.
I was wondering how I could go about creating a wallpaper such as that. Not just a looping animated background, but something that would change based upon input such as a swipe. I can't find any reference material close to making something like that and was wondering if it was even at all possible. Maybe it's only a manufacturer thing? Or does someone have a reference or good starting point/idea to point me towards?
Thanks!

What you're talking about was an effect of the lockscreen, not the wallpaper, the lockscreen overlays the wallpaper. By this example you might can get what you're looking for by modding your launcher to give the effect over the wallpaper and your app drawer or any other screen that has your wallpaper background.
The problem with your animated wallpaper idea is that animated wallpapers have a preset continously changing image so your idea isn't the sane because you're talking about something that would need to react to random touch input instead of a preprogrammed series of animations. It's not about where you want it to do it, it's about when and how you want it to do it.
It may be simpler than I'm thinking though.

i know this is an old thread. I recently developed interest in lock screen programming. I know building it from scratch would be very difficult. Especially since lock screen is used for security inside many application nowadays. But I was wondering if I could only change the animation for when you unlock the screen.
