Is there a way to enable on screen widget buttons and widgets on the cm9.1? Things like fancy widgets, or so. I really like having the clock on my homescreen, but can't find a way to enable them. When I hold the screen down, I only get a choice to change my wallpaper. I might be spoiled from sense, but i'd love to see a way to enable this. Thanks for any help.

The lagginess of the app drawer scrolling. Maybe it's because I'm so used to LauncherPro but it just doesn't feel smooth. I really do like all the other aspects of Sense though.
Completely agree stop when you get to the end don't iust slow down. Very annoying.

I love the weather animations. That's the only thing I love. Fancy Widget has an experimental version but it just sucks.

What's the reason that Sense Widgets can't be used with 3rd party launchers?

If you guys bought beautiful widgets you will never look back at sense again weather animations again. that along with the new open gl weather live wallpaper is pretty sick

Bw is a poor substitute for Sense. Sorry, HTC has them beat and Sense 3.0 takes it to a whole new level.

Say what you will about touchwiz, but they got it right with the horizontal app drawer scrolling. I love that option in ADW launcher as well. I just wish sense gave you that option somehow.

I really don't like horizontal app drawers. I'd actually love a WP7 style list.
The one thing I don't like about Sense is the inability to remap the right button. I don't need the bloody personalize button there all the time.

I agree. Never understood why people always recommended BW as an alternative to sense.

At least that's possible with root. I can remap the right button to whatever I want. I don't think it's possible to have sense + horizontal app drawer, though, even with root.
I like the horizontal app drawer because unlike vertical app drawer, I don't over-scroll.
Agreed I really wished we could use launcherpros 3d app drawer. I like beautiful widgets but at the end its just not quite as elegant as HTC's sense widget.

Actually, there is a way to replace the app drawer, sorta by using another app.
I'll have to remember the steps...
There are a few threads about it. But I'm pretty sure its not possible.

I recommend go launcher ex over either of those. I never actually see anyone else recommend it though, but it's a drastic change from sense. It has a horizontal sliding app drawer and I never notice lag. You can do a vertical one as well if you like with it, though I dont see why. The only complaint I might have is the lack of built in widgets (it only has 2 right now), but they're adding more. However, I dont care about those anyways.

only thing I hate about sense is the fact that you can't use a wii controller with the phone

Yea, I used sense for a few days and found go launcher ex and haven't looked back SENSE. Folders, recent apps, running apps (task killer), 15 dock spots all customizable. I like beautiful widgets for the live wallpaper.

I was wondering...for you guys on stock ROM (unrooted), is there anything cool/interesting that you do to customize your lockscreen?
Or is it just too wasteful in terms of RAM usage and battery life?
If you do anything unique besides default settings for your lockscreen post it here! with a screenshot too!

Widget Locker here too...
widget locker here as well. It the only way to go for customization similar to what you get on your homescreens.
Here's mine.
I have widget locker but stopped using it, It makes my device slugish, I went back to the stock lockscreen! Slugishness has gone and it still suits my theme/LWP

Looking for a lockscreen replacement.

Looking for something like intelliscreenx or lockinfo or even lockcalendar (simple) for iphone.
any help is greatly appreciated.

If you bought widget Locker, make sure you have it set right with root permissions. I'm using it and the stock lock screen never pops up.

For some odd reason I have two lock screens, my original stock lock screen and then my themed lock screen. Could anyone help me with my issue?
Some lockscreens replacement apps are not able to disable the stock lock screen. I couldn't get go locker to work either, both screens would display. It's been a while, but I think Magic locker and Widget locker both work on a stock phone. Or, if your rooted and have moved up to Gingerbread, Trailblazer has an excellent mod that includes several different lockscreens... I highly recommend it!
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda app-developers app
And with my mods you can disable the lockscreen! I don't know if it would also disable the themed one, but it would be worth a shot!
And thanks for the recommendation roaddog! Did my p.m. help ya figure out centering the text? Never heard back!

Didn't know you had responded... Thought I had it set to notify me, but thanks!
And I was able to... Amazingly
After several(failed) attempts it finally seems to be working fine. The date is not quite centered, but I have another step to try. I also set the date to change to what ever color the clock is set to. Added some custom softkeys too. Attached a screen shot, if anyone wants this, I have a flashable zip.
And thanks again tb, your themer is my tool of choice!!

Hello guys! There is now a Ubuntu Theme(NOT ROM) which is made by Armando Ferreira. Thanks to him we will be able to make our phone look like an Ubuntu Phone. When Ubuntu is released for Phones only the Nexus will be able to get it but hopefully soon our phone will be able too. Now getting to the Theme. This theme will change alot of things. This includes your lock screen, and home screens. Not your notification center to be more clear. Now here are details of how you can get this.
You must download all of these apps before you begin:
TSF Launcher: http://goo.gl/SAzNP
MIUI TSF Theme: http://goo.gl/hgzAX **This theme must be side loaded. (Download Dark Theme)
TSF Pendant Widget: http://goo.gl/JKMM1
Widget Locker: http://goo.gl/JU1hf
JB+ Clock App: http://goo.gl/lgUPW
UCCW: http://goo.gl/TZgw0
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper: http://goo.gl/DlD96
Minimal Reader Pro: http://goo.gl/8lT9z
Pure Music Widget: http://goo.gl/u5HrJ
Simple Calendar Widget: http://goo.gl/scgWA
Aix Weather Widget: http://goo.gl/jtP2Y
Google Drive: http://goo.gl/CS7Nc (not really needed)
BlingBoard Social: http://goo.gl/KTs6h
UBUNTUBOSS.ZIP RESTORE FILE: http://t.co/ttGe5Kl6
After you have downloaded all of those files. The UbuntuBoss.zip you will need to extract it. You will see a folder called "sd card". Open it and move everything inside it to your internal storage. After that open widget locker and go to settings then to Backup/Restore. Press restore. If you did it correctly you will see Ubuntu Lock. Click on that. You should see the lock screen. Click on tap to restore widget. If nothing happens go to UCCW and disable hot spot settings and try again. Next you add the Clock JB widget to it. Resize it to your fit to be more comfortable in your way
You have finished the lock screen now its time for the Home Screen. Open up TSF Launcher. Swipe to the right if the menu bar is not showing up. Click on the gear and then click themes. Now you click the MIUI theme that is in there. You have to restart TSF now. Swipe to left again and click the gear again... But click settings. Go all the way down and press restart. The screen should be clear. Nothing there. If not restart again. Swipe to fingers to the right to get to the Menu Bar. Now on the home screen hold down with one finger until you see the widgets, wallpaper, apps ,etc. Click wallpaper, then live wallpaper. You should see multi live wallpaper. Go to the gallery and it should be in order in an ubuntu folder. When you click on a photo it should say u1, u2, u3, and u5. Do that in order in the homescreen. After you have done that. Take one screen(delete it) by clicking on the bottom and delete it. Do this so the wallpaper is even.
You are done! All you have to do is customize it!
