Lock Screen modification question - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When browsing through some Themes I have noticed some ics lock screens look like they have about 5 different apps you can launch from the lockscreen. Is that mod a zip you can flash or or is it baked into certain ROMS or is it simply a setting I am missing? I am using CM9 right now and I see no option to add more apps to launch on the lock screen.
Here is what I mean. (Sorry about size I just grabbed it from the thread)
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

hey there
this option is implemented in some ROMS like codename android who lets you choose up to 8 targets(4 costumizable).
other than that you can use app because there are few locker apps that does exacly that.
you can use go locker free theme:

or the paid version :

please consider hitting the thanks button if it was useful

I would also recommend Go Lockker.
It has a lot of theming options.

Skinning ChompSMS Widget

So I use chompSMS all the time, tried everything else around and it allows me to reply quickly to txt when i need to. Recently I been working on creating some themes but haven't got things to where I want to release them. I Bought the extended controls on market and really loved the customization. More colors would be nice but I thought using the same idea or other apps such as chomp would be great. As of right now I skinned my widget and things are not perfect but, I will get it there soon enough. Maybe at some point I could build an app that would allow you to customize these widgets and apps.
Here is a screen shot of what I did to mine. If you understand how to edit png files and install apps then the process isnt too hard. PM me if you want the instructions other wise i found the widget backgroun in /res/drawable-port-hdpi. From what I can see most things in it could be customized.

[Q] Start menu "sorted"

Hey there,
Is there a way to "sort/clean" the start menu. Usually the start menu ist collumnwise shifted. Is there a way to get the menu straight like on the iphone (bad word ^_^).
I hope its understandable? Below are pictures.

"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
vs.
Not sure about sorting, but to change the layout you can use this:

No, not really,
I don't care about how many grids I have.
Just want to have it sorted (see images above)
use a third party app called "vito winterface" clean looking...search for it and try the trail version...m sure u will like it !
You can use another utility made by nullstring. It lets you sort by name, etc. and I think you can move the shortcuts around as well. If you feel like using custom icons, it can do that too.

Quick question, did you forget to add the "unmount" commands in your updater-script? I don't see any.

[APP][1.0+] Dark Dimension Launcher

Hello everyone! This is Tom, I'm an android developer and new to these forums.
Around Easter I decided to make a new Launcher for android because the one I was using was slow and annoying. For this reason I created this launcher and I tried to make it as small as possible and consume as little battery as possible, for this reason it has a very simple appearance.
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Using this app is simple: The screen is parted on a selected number of categories (defined by the user) each category has a name and up to 6 apps assigned. Launching one of those apps is a matter of seconds!
This app can run perfectly from android 1.0+, it is tested on android 2.3 and android kitkat although it should work perfectly on lollipop as well, and it's only ~80kb in size (depends on device).
Because I'm new I can't upload link in Play Store, so I attached the apk with this post.
I welcome all feedback for it!
Thanks a lot for your time!
