Samsung galaxy s3 home screens - General Topics

Hi all, I know there's some people out there with some pretty nice designs and themes and a bunch of things put together on their home screens... I wanted to share mine and maybe get some ideas from some of you... I know this is not the only post about this but the ones that I saw are kinda outdated... Thanks.

Hello all,
This is simply an introduction.
I've had my Galaxy S since May, yes first android, and XDA has been THE most visited/read site! (In all actuality this site is the reason that I still have my phone.)
I have learned so much that I feel indebted to this site and the developers that make this site what it is...
Though I would like to thank everyone by name... I just don't know them all, and they are many.
As smart as this community is as a whole, I'm certain you all know who I'm talking about...
So, from the bottom of my bionix black ice; bali 3.1uv; fugu + init.d7; oc'd to 1.5; ext4; bloat free Samsung Galaxy S 4g... THANK YOU ALL!!

This site made me an odin expert, and I used to hate odin. Another thing is I've learned a lot on this site, and im learning more each and every day.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I have to say that this site along with my own experimenting has made me VERY familiar with odin. My phone performs so much better now because of the people here and there is always someone there ready to help when something does not go as planned. Thank you for this.

How can I change the JellyBean lockscreen?

Ok so I have the X-TremE CM10 1.5 Pure ROM on my Samsung Galaxy SII but the loclscreen is different than it should be, the icon that looks like a lock is replaced by some kind of dragon .. i've gone through all the settings a few times but I can't find out how .. I guess some place in the framework.
Can you ease tell me how to do this? And be specific because i'm a huge noob ...
I'll put a screenshot of how to lockscreen looks right now.
Thanks!

Have you tried widget locker lockscreen? Its a paid app ($3 US)definitely worth purchasing if you find yourself tinkering a bunch though.

Discussing pirated apps is not allowed here on xda. The widgetlocker developer is actually a member here.
@OP I suggest asking in the ROM thread since this is very ROM specific and it looks like the dev added it in himself. Otherwise, unless you are completely glued to this one ROM I'm sure there's another JB ROM without this dragon.
(Personally though, it looks pretty bad ass. I'd love it if it were my phone)

I apologize I never said pirated, bootleg or anything to infer that. furthermore I did encourage paying for the app. This attitude is why I have now 11 posts in nearly a year but in other Kernel specific forums I have hundreds a month. Gonna mind my own business and take what I bring to the table elsewhere.

You cannot get it officially outside of the Google Play store, unless its directly from TeslaCoil himself. When you download a paid app for free on another site, that is pirating.
If I said took this guys iPhone and sold it, isn't that stealing? But no I didn't say anything to infer that.

Please tell me isn't there anything I can replace in the framework files? What's the name of the lockscreen file?

Week off?

Hi there,
Is anyROM team planning to release something significant in the next week, or can I rest my twitchy flash finger?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well, this thread should be interesting......
FYI, asking for ETAs is kinda the xda equivalent of crapping the bed.
As for if there will be releases this week: maybe. Sometimes the devs like to give us a little Christmas present. But don't forget that they are people too and this is one of the busiest weeks of the year for many people.
Wow, I didn't mean to actually ask for anything - certainly not ETAs. More kind of a gag.

Is the S3 General forum now some kind of OT forum?
I'm waiting for the thread asking opinions on which hand to hold the phone with. :laugh:

Who wants one of those Samsung cameras? The ones with android. Why do you want one? I don't see the point in the thing, I don't see who would buy one from VERIZON and pay the ****ing data fee. I just don't get it. What is the appeal to own one of these?
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.

No idea, in the same boat.. I was gonna get it for a Christmas present for my gf but idk what the point is either. I do know Adam Outler rooted the thing which is pretty damn cool!

I think the idea of the galaxy camera is that people love the convenience cellphones provide for in allowing your photos to be shared to social media platforms. The problem is even the best phone cameras are still phone cameras. The galaxy camera retains the social networking convenience and introduces a nice camera (optical zoom) onto the equation. Curious how Google+ just recently allowed for full quality photo uploads eh?

This is the problem with xda. Not you. Personally i think you did nothing wrong. You were simply asking if anyone knew if a significant release for a ROM was being planned for this week. You weren't asking for someone to make a ROM, you weren't asking for an eta. Instead everyone decides to be incredibly disrespectful toward you. Maybe op didn't want to go through every single ROM thread over the past 5 or so pages looking for posts by the dev.

I think he already explained it as more of a gag in post 3 so everyone just went with this as a holiday stress relieving thread. If it is going to turn ugly I will close it.

I know that this happens....but I don't think that this is the case here as no one was outright disrespectful to OP nor is a future ETA or release something you can generally look up in past threads.
Oh well, relax and drink some nog. We should try and get a forum game running over the holiday. Mafia anyone? =)
Ok, here's all I meant: I love xda and the developers. I flash like crazy and keep finding something better as one Rom leap frogs the other. So I was tongue in cheek asking for a break from flashing, to save me from myself this week, not for what to flash next.
Hold phone with my left hand, even though that's considered rude in some cultures.

Hunt4r not be rude buddy but Xda is place that is made you to learn how to do it on you own also. there are many tutorials just requesting not many people are willing to take the time out of there day to do it just to please one person. my best answer dude would be to find which launcher your gonna and start making a theme.
i simply theme my phone using Ninjamorph and Rom toolboox.. IM not a Dev but its best to learn instead of being on a MAYBE waiting list... best of luck
I'd be willing to bet this is the wall in question...
They're right though dude, you'll have a much greater chance at getting it if you learn and make it yourself than getting it made for you for free.

Thank you all for the best XDA community!

I usually wouldn't make a post like this but this has been by far the best community I have been a part of since having the EVO 4G a few years ago. I don't always post replies but I'm constantly reading the posts and all of the great advice and tips all have posted have been great. Also the amount of maturity and professionalism is top notch here as well! I hope to see you all on the ATT One forums in the near future!

Yeah - I've had a few different devices and been in a few diffeernt XDA forums and his one is pretty good.
We can thank developers like utkaar099, turge, scrosler, bpbear and rohan (amongst others) for taking the time to provide excellent support for the roms they create. Guys like exad and redpoint73 are also very patient and helpful in spreading their knowledge and advice.
Enjoy it while it lasts though - I think we might lose a few to the HTC One......
I have to agree . I thought those guys on the captivate and Atrix HD forums were good , but the guys on the one x forums have taught me so much , not to mention saved my phone twice !

OK I am having Happy Gilmore flashbacks. "I AM GOOD! You know what? You're a lousy kindergarten teacher! I seen those finger paintings you bring home and they SUCK!"
Alright seriously though, I have only kicked around the HP Touchpad and HOX xda forums and both of them are great. The TP dev'ing is slowing down just because its an older device but the thing didn't even come with Android so its a miracle that they even got it up and running. The fact that CM10.1 is currently semi usable is amazing.
For the HOX dev folk, its great(er). I have people ask me all the time what handy dandy new phone they should get but I keep telling them to get a last gen phone and come to XDA like I do. The HOX devs pump out so many great rom choices that can be used as (and are in my case) daily drivers. Sure I bounce around a bit but thats because I'm an unrepentant flash whore. With the inclusion of pie controls, ribbons and most recently HALO, the amount of customization is... alright I ran out of adjectives. Suffice it to say, THANK YOU dev community!
I can beat you all. I came from the htc vivid forums. Nuff said lol
