Hi, I have a HTC Droid Incredible and I am now running CM7 and I love everything about it. but, I would like to improve my experience my changing different things. for example the Lock screen delay is way to short. I am talking about when you press the power button and just look at the lock screen for the time or whatever. my question is, is there anyway to make it longer than the 3 seconds that its set on now?
Another thing I realized that you could have different wallpapers for just the lock screen and your default. I was hoping there was a way to make the lock screen wallpaper a live wallpaper while the default something different. Is there any way of doing this? I ask this because i have a weather LWP that tells me what the weather is on my lock screen but i don't like it as my default wallpaper.

Does anyone know how to change just the lock screen image on the Captivate? I know on Sense UI you go to set a wall paper you choose to set the lock or home screen.
Does anyone know a hack or work around on the captivate? I don't like having pictures as a background on the phone (doesn't work well with 7 screens) however I want my daughters picture for my lock screen.
Thanks!
Great question, I was just wondering this myself.
I would love to set a different image for my lockscreen than my wallpaper.
Lockbot , market app can do that.
Awesome thanks for the help!
Sorry to dig this thread up, but has anybody had any luck with this? I tried both LockBot and Lock 2.0 and while they do the trick, the consistently fail to activate fast enough. The stock lock screen is instantaneous, while these aftermarket apps have a delay between when you turn the phone on to when the app locks the phone.
I've had the Transformer for about a month now and this is the first hiccup.
On the main homescreen there's a vertical bar on the far right with the five icons/shortcuts anchored there. The background under those icons is scrambled- the rest of the homescreen is fine, as are all of the other homesscreens. Rebooting doesn't help, changing the wallpaper doesn't either. I'm using Wallpaper Wizardrii, have been since I got the device, so I don't think that caused the problem either.
Any idea what I could do to fix it? Thanks!
I have never seen this issue. I would uninstall the 3rd party wall paper and see if it helps. Don't forget to power cycle the unit.
Ok- I'll try that now. Thanks.
No luck. Before I unlock the screen the [stock] background image completely fills the screen and there's no scramble. When I unlock the screen the image squeezes over to the left a little to make room for the vertical taskbar and the scramble appears (under the 5 icons). So something weird is happening when the image resizes.
I just remembered that even when I was using one of my photos as wallpaper it was not scrambled until the screen was unlocked. In Android's version of screensaver mode the pictures fill the screen and there's no scramble.
Using Multipicture Live now but problem still there. It's not a big deal (still love this tablet!) but I would like to know what's going on and how to fix it.
Anybody else experience this partial-scramble? I got a random reboot yesterday- first time. All I'd done since I started this thread is uninstall the wallpaper wizardrii program, reboot/power cycle a few times, and then download and install the new wallpaper (multipicture live) program.
Still hoping for help with this
I am not talking about "lag" in the traditional sense of how the term is used around here (choppy animations).
But starting with every ICS ROM I've tried, when I turn on my lock screen after a while of having the screen completely off, the clock always shows a number which is 3 or 4 minutes behind, and quickly updates it to the correct time in less than a second. I last saw this on a POS Moment running hacked Froyo. My NS4G with Gingerbread never had this problem.
Any ideas?
This seems somehow related to my Beautiful Widgets SuperClock widget. When I remove that widget the problem goes away. That doesn't make sense though since I used that exact same widget on Gingerbread. :-(
Hello,
I owned a Galaxy S with Android 2.3.6 and used the SwitchPro Widget all the time for the screen lock widget, to prevent using the power button to lock the screen. Recently, I upgraded to the S3 and the same widget is giving me trouble. Everytime I use it, it turns the screen off, but immediately it turns back on and it stays like that for a few seconds. It acts like something else is waking it up. Sometimes, it does work perfectly, but it's very rare. I am using a pattern on the lock screen to unlock, but I don't see how that could be a problem since it was the same on my older phone. Does anyone have any hints or experience the same problem ? I tried using other widget packs with screen lock widgets, but they all act the same.
Thanks in advance.
same problem

I have the same problem on a Sony Experia Pro... I've used "zMooth" to lock screen with a gesture and "screen off" widget for that... both used to work well on the original stack gingerbread... but then I flashed a custom ICS rom and now they do what you describe... I really wonder if it's something more related to ICS than anything else.

i'm having the same issues with my galaxy s3, and its quite annoying.
I used to have an HTC amaze that was updated to ICS, and it had no issues going screen off right away with switchpro widget
Had my Z3 for a week now and absolutely love it, one thing that has been slightly annoying me though is that when I unlock the phone it will sometimes take half a second or so for the wallpaper to load, and it appear black before then. The video below probably demonstrates this better! I have tried different launchers, making sure the picture was in internal storage, using lower resolution pictures etc.

Has anyone else been experiencing this, or have any idea what it is? It looks like the nav buttons along the bottom also appear after a brief delay.
I also get a pop up saying "Ending Session" occasionally when I use Stamina mode, any ideas what this is?
The video looks normal to me, and looks like mine. If it's loading slower than that, then i'd be concerned.
The ending session bit I can't help with

After turning off animation in dev settings, the background does indeed take time to load and leaves a black screen for a split second.
I guess the animation is there to hide it.
Same thing here! I'm using nova prime.
Did it happen with all the other launcher you've tried as well?
Yeah it isn't too bad, you know what it is like when you get a new phone though,everything makes you worried that something is wrong!
It is incredibly smooth with the default Xperia live wallpaper, but it is like it is in the video using anything else.
Some people worry about the smallest things. Just look at the bigger pitcture and stop nitpicking issues.
Its happening on mine aa well. But i actually think this ia done on purpose. Doesnt annoy me as much as it used to though.
If u put the animations on 1x (instead of off) it seems to rectify the problem.
Same here on a Z1. That's actually pretty interesting, I'll follow this thread.

I think that the delay (black screen for a fraction of sec) is due to those glittery things when you swipe the screen to unlock as they also keep on going on the homescreen once the lockscreen is out of the way...you can see that if you use the xperia wallpapesr that come with the phone, if you use a different wallpaper the glitters don't overlay on the homescreen (ie the black screen)...
I have the delay as well just like yours, same using a 3rd party unlocker (I used widgetlocker, but it doesn't really stick as it's better using it with root) and with a 3rd party locker the black screen is on the locker as well as soon as you push the power button....if you use a 3rd party unlocker, go to settings/security/screen lock and set it to none....then you won't have the lag anymore!
On another note, you're using the stock locker right?! How did you set a live wallpaper as a background (or is that a static pic, the video is a bit short on your youtube link to be able to tell), I can't find a setting for it, also is it possible to add widget on the stock lockscreen?
I always root my xperia's phone right away usually (but since it's not possible at the moment without unlocking the bootloader and losing the DRM keys) and never use the stock home and lockscreen, always change them right away so I haven't found settings for the stock lockscreen (the only option that I have is to change the background wallpaper, not live wallpaper option though and no widget option either), I can see the clock is clickable on the lockscreen but no action that I can see...am I missing something here?!
Now that I think about it the best way to not have the lag would be to build a theme with the included wallpaper of your choice, I'll look into that, just got the phone, so still checking things up and not having root is making things a bit strange at the moment
