What's the secret for BW? When I unlock my phone and the weather displays, it opens the clock or weather skin change menu. I haven't always had that issue and can't seem to get it to just display the weather then let me see my home screen-I have to hit Home each time. I've tried setting it back to the weather/clock combos that I haven't had issues with but no luck. Are there certain developers to avoid or a setting I need to change? Love the app and the options but hate this issue. Any ideas?
Edit: Ive got it worked out

Is there a setting in ICS that makes apps install directly to homescreens that I can turn off? It's driving me crazy that when I install apps I have to delete them from home screens.
Open play store then go to settings. Uncheck auto add widget to home screen and you are done

So, I'm digging the stock Sense settings widgets for quick on/offs from my home screen. Wifi, hotspot, etc are all incredibly convenient. I'd like to use the screen brightness one also. It basically toggles the backlight in one-third increments, and its indicator "lamp" has three segments to tell you where it stands.
BUT... I like to keep the brightness set to automatic, from the settings-display menu. And if I ever want to override this (movies, etc.) with the widget, there's no way to set it back without going into the full-blown settings menu.
Would be niiiiiice if HTC updated the widget to support automatic brightness. Heck, they could even make it work so that just the middle indicator segment would light up to let you know you're in automatic state.
Hope they're listening. Meanwhile, does anyone know of a decent, ad-free alternative? Or can the stock one be modded?
There's the advanced settings toggles that add that and many other settings to your drop down menu.

Thanks for the reply. Where might one find these advanced settings toggles? I've been through the phone pretty deep at this point and can't recall seeing them.
The Android settings widget that comes stock on the HOX will cycle 3 different brightness levels + auto brightness.

It's a mid you'll need to flash, on deodex rims only.

Thanks, both. I'll check themout and keep my fingers crossed that HTC eventually does the right thing with their own widget.

I have a Nexus 5 that it's NOT rooted and I don't intend to root it anytime soon, but everytime you swipe up from the bottom of the screen that damn Ring pops up (like the pie controls), I recently found a pie control that doesn't require root and I wanted to use it but the damn Ring comes up instead (i dont want the pie to be on the sides)
how do I turn that ring off and is there a way to Auto-Hide the Navigation Bar?
If you want to modify stock behaviour, you'll need to root. Gravitybox let's you disable the nav ring

There are multiple simple apps that help you do this. Some are more elegant, some are less.
One example:

I know there are better apps but I cannot recall their name at the moment.
But it looks like it doesn't completely go away, but i'll try

I remember having lock screen notifications using ICS on my old Xperia T. It would show text, Facebook, calls, etc on the lock screen.
Does anyone know a decent mod or app to use for enabling lock screen notifications?

Hi there been trying loads over the weekend, all the ios7 etc, an awful lot of them have flaws like letting access to the phone through the recent app button. there have been several plus sides as well. At the moment i have found this app "Echo Notification Lockscreen" on the play store. I have also added "iControl(IOS 7 Partner)" but again there were limitations not all the actions will work with this lock screen.
The ultimate which i've not managed was an IOs lock screen (that was actually secure) that let you reply to text messages (and others) without having to unlock the phone (1 app did that but wasn't secure).
Try to use Nils from Google play
Hi again, just a bit more info. I have had another go today at finding the best solution. several sms apps will display on the lock screen but then disapear after a set time, no good if you missed it as it arrived.
I have been playing with the Nils app before and I am unable to get contact pictures to display next to messages, even after trying several sms apps and being in touch with the developer.
But the best I've managed so far is as follows. A app called iOS 7 Lock Screen Theme by huntdevs gives a plain lock screen which can slide to reveal a pin code screen. On the plain screen you can then use NiLS Lockscreen Notifications by Roymam this will then display sms and other notifications on the lockscreen, these remain on the screen untill opened, even if the screen times out and is turned back on manually, furthermore you have the ability to reply to them from within the app whilst still locked.
Warning as I said earlier there is a facility to disable the home button but the recent app button is still active meaning that any apps used recently have the ability to be opened without unlocking the phone. Further more the pin lock screen gives you access to the emergenecy dial function and sadly again where as the default lock screen will only let you dial an emergency number, this app will let you see all of your contacts and further more dial any number you want!!
One final thing the ios7 locker does give you access to the functions of the Iphone from the slide at the bottom of the screen and for me the added advantage of this app over several of the others is that the phone function icon is missing (all be it available through the emergency function).
hope tihs helps.
I use NiLS. I purchased the pro version so i can customize it to my liking and for the ads not to draw my data. It works like a charm, instant, and looks almost stock.
I have attached an image for an example.

Hi there I see you have the same issue as I have experienced the App refuses to show the contact picture (unless of course you don't use them).
On a further note i have had to uninstall the iOS7 lockscreen, apart from the issues already mentioned, a big down side for me turned out that the app kills sound from the walkman app when the screen goes off, so listening to music, throwing to a sound bar or linking to a car Bluetooth are all muted. So again im back to stock lockscreen with just the Nils app over the top for indication only.
When i first installed the app it would show the users image. I didn't like it so I changed it to App Icon. Oddly, i tried to switch it tot he other 2 settings, and now it does't appear. .. oh well i am not really worried about it. I like the basic icon look instead of the pictures.

Is that how you have the default sony clock with the nils notifications in your picture?

The clock and lock screen is all sony stock. NiLS will just add the notification over whatever lock screen you have.
Will it work with a PIN locked screen? There's not much space for notifications actually so I wonder how it would look.

It doesn't the lock screen always starts maximized, Dash clock used to have the option to just have a padlock at the bottom of the screen so your information was always visible when turning on the phone but the latest version of that always starts with the lock pattern or number pad visible and you have to swipe down every time to view notifications and then back up again to unlock your device (there all a pain now with extra strokes needed to use them)

How come when I use nils on my stock I have to resize the clock to see notification?

Odd, I know you can resize/change the location of the NiLS. When you have a NiLS message on your lock screen, tap and hold down on the notification to adjust (i had to adjust mine because when it was charging the notification would be on top of the charging percentage)
After installing again and play around I knew my original mistake. Just do not add nils as lockscreen widget. Let nils display notification automatically then I can resize.
BTW will this lockscreen feature notification be part of Android L? Just thinking on buying the nils pro version.
