Hi all.
Firstly, I've been lurking these forums for a while now. Great to have signed up. First post.
I've just made the jump from android gingerbread to ice cream sandwich. Now while I've been playing around with other roms, all have been gingerbread based.
I currently flashed the sensation rom (v3.4) on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I've noticed that the lock screen is now the default 4 ring type. Is there a way I can customize these 4 items on the ring without installing custom apps such as widget locker. I can't quite seem to find the settings anywhere. Would this question be more suited to the rom in question or is it a stock android thing?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm quite new to putting a new rom on my phone, but so far loving the results but just have a couple of questions if anyone can help??
I have just installed an ICS rom, and I quite like the simple weather widget it comes with as stock, is there a Digital Clock widget to match it, I cant seem to find one, but I am sure I've seen one somewhere.
And secondly, is there a tweak somewhere that will allow me to have Wake On Volume keys?
There is not one in the settings maybe there is a downloadable one somewhere?
Thanks

Widgets in ics are more or less a problem right now. There are only few, because until there is a stable version it will be held as clean as possible. You can use any widgets from market not made for a special launcher. Try Android widgets pro, even if it had no digital clock though.
I think cm9 is the only ics ROM with volume key screen on, even if I'm not sure whether it's supported or not.
But there are other non-ics roms supporting that feature. I'm using endymion 3.4 and always waking up my screen with volume keys. On cm7 there was the same feature for sure.

Sent my thoughts to your head with XDA App
Hey Forum dwellers, this is my first post here on XDA Developers, I have just started down the road of customizing my tablet and have already found this forum very useful. I was wondering if you people could help me with a couple questions.
I have a GT-P6800 of course and the S3 SGH-1747M, I love both of them for their own reasons but I'm trying to make some of their features the same. I have flashed the Stock ICS ROM to my GT-P6800 so they are looking almost the same. My first questions is does the ICS Stock ROM run TouchWiz 5 or the older version?
I really love the stock weather widget on my S3 and would love to get it on the 7.7 tab. I have looked at various walkthroughs, some skins of other apps, some downloading APK files. A lot mention the launcher as a big part of getting the app to work. I am running the stock touchwiz UI so I thought it should work with the APKs but I just get problem loading Widget when I add it to my homepage, it looks correct from the add screen, but not once it is added.
I have been following this thread among others.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1724553
Is there any way to have the same launcher on my 7.7 as is on the S3? I notice depending on the APP that there are different widgets, for instance the BBC app, on my S3 I can have a widget with scrolling news, but on my 7.7 I only get the app icon. What is the reason for this? My only thought is it must be the launcher since both devices are ICS 4.0.4.
Anyway any clarification on this would be great, as I read and learn more about the possibilities of Android.
Thanks for any help.
I can only answer tw on 6800 ICS is tw 4.0 so its older than tw on S3
So is it possible to update it to TouchWiz 5?
no it is not possible as the dimension for 6800 and s3 is different... but you can search if there is any touchwiz launcher port in the forum. it might work with the device...
hey guys, ive been a lurker on this forum for some time, but just got around to registering an account yesterday. I've been looking at all the jb custom roms for the One X and I am beyond tempted to start running some. But the few following questions about features and functionality I have not been able to find answers to:
1. Does loading non sense roms lose the beats audio equalizer on the phone? if not, which roms have the beats audio feature still in it?
2. I use my phone for a lot of music, I use a lot of google play music, and the stock music player on my device, and the sense setup has lock screen music widgets for me to change tracks and what not. Do any of the custom roms feature the ability to change tracks from the lockscreen?
Those are pretty much the only questions I have at the moment, can anyone reccomend any stellar roms out there that are ahead of the rest of the pack? So far, the biggies i see are of course cyanogenmod and aokp but Im getting the urge to start diving into my phone.
Thanks guys!
Should have posted in q&a forum.
Read, read an then pick one an try it, if you want stockish types of things stay with sense based ROMs.

Hello,
I am a total noob to the android/root community. I have an AT&T GS3 (SGH-I747) and I just rooted it. I've been using the Jedi Invasion ROM installed on my phone and love it!!! Then recently I changed to the AOKP 4.1.2 ROM and was instantly impressed. I love it! The only issue I am having is with the wallpaper. I do not like the wide screen scroll left/right wallpaper. I would much rather a stationary wallpaper that does not move. I have searched high and low between forums to see if there was a way to change the wallpaper to a stationary one. I know there are apps like Wallpaper Wizardrii that can perform these actions, but I wanted to know if there was a way to do that without having to use an app. The way i see it the less apps I have to back up with Titan backup the better while I switch between ROMS like the noob I am . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I am looking to try a new lockscreen other than the default HTC lockscreen to get more information at a glance. However, all of the lock screen replacements I have tried seem to sometimes have a slight delay where the HTC lockscreen shows for a second before the custom one I installed shows up. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, and just have the phone go directly to the custom lockscreen? I am rooted and s-off which should help. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you used the ViperOneM8 custom ROM? In the tweaks it allows you full customization of the lock screen + other screens. Nova Launcher in combination with ViperOneM8 is how I have my phone and I couldn't be happier! ?
And they're releasing a new 3.x version within a couple weeks, if not days over the new 4.4.4 firmware.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I used to be running viperROM, but I was hoping that the lockscreen would give me more information at a glance kind of like how the new Lollipop lockscreen looks. I looked though a lot of the settings, but didn't seem to find what I was looking for. I will be looking into the new version once it drops, because I definitely liked the ROM, just wished the lockscreen could be customized the way I like.
Maybe a theme download? Sorry

If you go into the /system/priv-app directory and re-name the HtcLockScreen.apk to something like HtcLockScreen.apk.bkp then it will default to the AOSP lock screen after a re-boot. I am doing that and using the DashClock lockscreen widget. I'm happy with the results. You also get the full-screen music art on the lockscreen, which I like having back.
