Honeycomb-like lockscreen - Ripple Lock

I dunno if this is pretty well-known or not, I do see a few threads in the Galaxy S II section, but I figured I'd let more people know since I just randomly found this on the market.
For those looking for a replacement to their stock lockscreen(and those craving the Honeycomb Lockscreen), SunPengfei brings us Ripple Lock on the Android Market!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free
There's a bit of customization that can be done and so far everything's worked pretty well for me. You can change the font color, style, and size. There's the ability to have app shortcuts as well.
The free version does sport an ad at the top, but there is a paid version you can buy. I'll stick to the free version myself, just waiting until the quality is a little better, but who knows, I might just purchase it anyways. It's only a buck and some change.
I think it's a great compliment to any honeycomb theme out there.
P.S. Would this be better in Themes? I dunno.

Hmm... seems interesting I'll try it out
I have to say it is quite impressive and fast-ish on the Wildfire :]

It looks nice but it maybe consume battery!

Yeah I thought about that, I've been all over my phone messing with Go Launcher and stuff, so I can't give a good reading, but I'll probably charge to full later and I'll take a look.
If anybody else decides to try it out, let us know!

I ran it for a few hours then it became very unreliable.
Sent from my X10x using XDA Premium App

I had it for a week or so, and noticed it unreliable too (2.2.2)
Its pretty, and more convenient to "unlock" being able to drag the circle any-which-way you want... but meh.

Doing ok for me so far, but I'm hoping for updates to make it more reliable as well. I did read a few comments with some gripes, but I think it's got potential.
What ended up happening with it for you guys? Was it that 'double lock' thing?

The circle would get "stuck". Had to cycle the lockscreen (via power button) a few times to get it to reset and work. Also found it sluggish at times.
Overall, I thought it was good, if those problems were not there.. but at the end of the day, if its eating even a moment of extra battery, its simply not worth it for me.

Tested on Sense 3.0 Gingerbread 2.3 works but kinda slow

What device do you use orb? I was kinda wondering how it would work on others. I should try it on my mytouch 3g haha.

EDIT: Actually, now that I'm on the computer I can see your sig. Ah well!

Works very well on my SGSII. Looks awesome with HC theme.

Make sure none of the app shortcuts are broken, define a background image and make sure to set ALL options.
it wasn't until I did that that it started working good. REAL good. now I can have my camera loaded up faster than my stock lockscreen would unlock on my DX2
much faster and more useful than stock 2.2 lockscreen.

the honeycomb lockscreen from lockbot is better...

Works well except for the power button not turning the phone back on. Have to push the volume buttons to get the phone turned on to unlock.
Nexus S 4G with CM7 nightly.

You can also use lockbot, I'm not trying to troll but I've used both lockscreen replacements and lockbot seems more like the original honeycomb lockscreen. There is a free and pro version.
Check it out.
-Remember, Android hell is a real place and you will be sent there at the first sign of defiance-

sadly it randonmly works on my x10, using 2.1 version, dunno what's wrong
sometimes it won't change to this lockscreen it gets back to the original one and worst to restart

Inspire 4g with cm7.1.0-rc1 and adw ex. It runs great except for one thing. That thing is after not locking or unlocking the phone for a while it seems that the os is reclaiming the memory as it will load the home screen when you unlock and then after a second or two it will load the lock screen, title bar and all

Yeah,seems not optimized for android 2.3 yet..which has the new 5sec. rule ...
But a great app!

This is awesome! took a little prodding to get it to work, but i love it!
and i tried lockbot free, but it sucks
EDIT: ok, so, using for a couple hours, i really hate the fact that the volume buttons will turn on the screen on. and, if i don't have it silenced, beep. Its really annoying, and i may end up just uninstalling it if it bugs me too much.

Free version is compatible with the Dell Streak, but paid version is not. I bought the paid version while using a captivate for a couple of days and when I went back to my Streak could not install the paid version. I ask the dev about it and sent information verifying my purchase and the response was that it is Google's fault. Won't fix the issue and won't refund.
Edit: I am on a stock ROM, so it's not because of some strange configuration.

Argh! Sure it looks different...but at the same time, it looks really ugly for my taste. Not for me as it has something similar to the "Windows phone" design which I hate.

it looks very messy..
or maybe it's just the way the boy is sitting there staring that's starting to creep me out (sorry)

is very ugly

Just got it last night and love it. Looks very good imo
From the giant: Galaxy Note

I like sslauncher, here my screenshots:

It isn't ugly but it just looks different how u said
You have to install it and try it for e.g. 1 week then you can decide

it's not ugly, the look is your own choice
I've been using this for a while now. My screens are not pretty at all, they are functional. If you want pretty, that it's also possible. It's your own choice.
I believe this one breaks the mould, and lets us be creative. No longer do we have to settle for a rather limited set of options. Isn't that why we went all Android in the first place?
Btw, there are now themes in the market. I'd live to know if they are good, and if they mess with your existing setup. You can save the whole lot, which is really cool, so I may risk a try.

Oh wow I just spit up all over myself

Got oriental theme and i like it a lot
From the giant: Galaxy Note

I just tried them, and they are OK. If you have any custom icons, make sure you DO NOT select 'drop existing images' when selecting a theme.
I have no idea how to get back to normal, but I can live with what I have.
What I want is a different wallpaper for each page. I know we can have them for each page type, but almost all mine a Cover, so that is no good to me.

I updated the thread aswell. Thank you

If you do end up trying it, please tell me what you do and don't like about the app here.

Hello,
I've tested your application and it is just as described. Plain and simple.
I might have a suggestion though. Make it optional to start in the list of notes instaid of the last edited note when you open the application.
I understand that you probably want to keep it simple, but there is something as TOO simple

Could you upload the apk and enable it for device with smaller DPI/screen size? I'm running ICS on my old Xperia x10 Mini Pro and I want to see if this is better or worse than HoloPad...

Thanks for the tips.
I didn't even know it had a screen size restriction. Ill look into it. Thank you.

here's the apk i downloaded directly from market if anyone needs it

App runs fine on my phone. Thanks for the upload.
As suggested, it should go to the saved notes on app start, not the last edited note.

Please rate the application to make it available for users. : )

Thanks for sharing your app! I just now downloaded and installed via Play, so i am yet to even open the app. I have one suggestion as of right now : Make A NEW Icon. Maybe make it white with a blue "n" or blue with a white "n". Just have to get rid of that green!!!

The icon isn't terrible, however I wouldn't mind a revamped alternative.

Please add a black theme if you get time

Ok I used the app for couple of days and im loving it but here are my 2 suggestion that I think would improve the app..
1. Auto back up every 1,3,7,15 days ect its a life saver
2. Widget for easy access

Thanks for the tips guys. Ill consider every tip. If theres more people who'd like certain functions, please tell me. Though the whole idea of the app is to keep it minimalistic, if I can add something good and light, I will. Besides, apk size matters.

Yeah, I love the framework. I'll make a pre ICS version as soon as I'm done with my exams. Sorry for the slow work. Too much school makes me a dull guy. Hopefuly the app is okey for now until I get around to update it.
Also, its open source, so if anyone would like to help out just PM or mail me.

Swype Beta

I'm really liking the new Swype beta. (Only played with it for about 15 minutes so far)
Smaller keyboard, nice predictive text.
I loved swype on my Galaxy S, and was using it on the Note, but it took up too much of the screen.
I switched the Swiftkey beta, which was not quite as fast for me to enter text, but allowed me to see more of the screen when I set the keyboard size to small.
The new Swype beta keyboard is only slightly bigger than the Swiftkey beta, but I can enter text a lot faster with Swype, so I think I'll be using it as my main keyboard from now.

I just downloaded it for paranoidandroid and it works fine, i needed to.redownload the Swype beta installer apk because the one i installed earlier was failing after entering username and password.
I went back to the Swype site downloaded the installer again and then it successfully installed the new Swype.

Yep, same thing for me, using 213 for system dpi, and 213 for swype, it fits the screen, and looks like it's right, but the keys are about half the size of the older swype I have on there. changing the dpi scales the keys off the side of the screen. phone/tablet in paranoid settings doesn't seem to have an affect either.

This is how i have it on mine, it's pretty small but i don't mind this size so i haven't looked into adjusting dpi for it. Seeing that doesn't work for you guys it won't work anyway.
The keys could get stretched to be taller but you can't make them any wider for the same qwerty keyboard layout. I prefer to have more screen area for text rather then have the keyboard fill half or a third of the screen. I use 182dpi so i like this a little smaller then many others i assume.
It would be a cool feature if you were able to stretch a keyboard like a widget on a home screen rather then using dpi to adjust size.

I am finding the Swype Beta to be much improved.
However, don't try and download it on Google Chrome - you have to use the stock Android browser. Wierd. You get a small useless .bin file if you do.
Worked fine on the stock browser, which I never use. Never had this problem with any other website.

Not sure if there was a typo in your post, but mine is 1.0.3.5809.

when I switched from one handed Samsung keyboard the swype got smaller
but after a while it's scretched by itself. Dunno what triggered it. I had to switch to Samsung one handed keyboard to swype again to have it become small again
I actually like this one handed swype wannabe and am wondering if anyone can hack or edit it so it stays that way

• Cropping similar to Super Keyboard would be nice, as my background image gets a bit stretched.
• More transparency for keys would be fancy.
• Annnd last but not least when I'm typing in my email, the keyboard freaks out and makes a bunch of random words.
Hope to see these issues addressed, I'm in need of a better keyboard and I see great potential here, you just may have a future buyer!

I'm having problems with smiley key. I Camry reach the right side of the box no matter what... I would like to see something like SlideIT have.

I meant when I use a custom image, the cropping won't let me fit my full image in the keyboard or it gets stretched a bit, but when I use the same kind of function on "Super Keyboard Pro", the cropping and custom image work much better.
Hope that made sense.

This is great. 5 start for you mate..

Sems like the SWYPE input doesn't work on Galaxy Ace, any chance to fix it?

Not bad, not bad
Hi, warm welcome for this new one...
I am strongly testing it against Swype...... that is (was?) my winner, it eats a lot of memory I guess....
A few marks:
- the secondary functions of a key (eg. "?") are not hardly visible, with some themes they are almost not even visible
- I use special chars (áéöü etc.) and I have to get used to getting back to é being just e, so not right next to L and so on
Really this much for now...
what I will focus on: (compared to my experience with swype)
- how it learns
- how much memory it eats up
Keep the good work up and Happy Holidays
:good:

Nice. Loving it already. Swiping working on my Samsung Galaxy SL.
Swift key lags after learning lot of words in my opinion. Let's see how this fares.

i like it, the only missing thing, is the swipe on with space (without needing to release the touch) like swiftkey flow beta.

Can someone tell my why the Kii keyboard is closing after i type the first letter?
Language: German
Smartphone:Atrix 4G
Android: 2.3.6
edit : its caused because of the gesture mode. If disabled it works flawless.

Testing right now. It's pretty smooth. Maybe swiping feels a bit slow. And keyboard hides automatically randomly.
