would there be any mods or anything?

It was a standard feature in most custom ROMs - not in stock though. Not sure if there are any mods to get that feature (except for replacements like widget locker).

That's really the only reasonable answer to the quality of software they put out...
Personally, I can't wait to get the Nexus S 4G and get Android the way it's supposed to be with Samsung's hardware running it. Sammy, you've got to stick to your strengths...

My idea of theming is putting on my own wallpaper and having a green icon for the messaging app...that's it.
So does this only change the font size in the lockscreen bar to properly show the date? I tried other fonts and was not happy about how they reduced and blurred messages in texts.
well i havent used bonsai in a while so i dont know what battery icon, or status bar icons, or text colors... or many other elements they use.. but this will change all of that to either stock or srf style, depending on which fix you use...
THANK YOU!!!! this has been driving me crazy
yes it changes the font size by 1 point only on that one line in the lock screen... nowhere else.

Love the fact that we have something for MIUI with out buying an app.
Made by the same people that make ripple lock. Both replacements have very good graphically, but they need to learn that root users need to ability to NOT to disable lockscreen, as this is a stupid way to bypass the stock lockscreen, as Tesla the Guy who made widget locker figured out, and uses root to bypass the stock lockscreen which is better.
Tesla has stated he's going to add sense 3.0 replica style lock, but don't know when he will do it

Not for me it works great with cm7.1 RC1 i love this i used miui for a couple of weeks and i loved this lockscreen but had to come back to cm7 because how much faster and stable it was (also i love that you can change the shortcuts!
The developer of this app annoys me. He always updates his free version before he updates the paid version, he did this with ripple lock as well.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I can't seem to disable the default lock so this one is only used as well as power button not waking. tried with a fresh wipe and flash install.these are effecting cm7 nightly 146 with Chad's 6/19 kernel with aggressive undervolt.
Did you disable lock screen in CM settings>tablet tweaks?
forgot about that.that worked once I disabled the poweramp lock widget which also enabled the system lock. that's all good but the power button doesn't do squat while it's locked
I haven't used the app, but it sounds like something that may need to be fixed with it, unless there's some setting for the lockscreen app that you need to change.
Multiple people are complaining about the power button problem both on xda and the market reviews. I emailed the developer about it but no response. The app is very similar to the developers on ripple lock. GREAT potential he just needs to work on it. I hope teslacoil releases a new WL with the sense 3.0 lockscreen soon, I like widgetlocker

Sense 3.0 Lockscreen

Hey guys
I saw this on XDA TV, not sure if some of you have seen the Sense 3.0 lock screen, I think the effect is pretty cool. Is pretty much the Sense Lock screen as an app, and it works on any android device. The app is called Agile Lock.

Thank you so much for posting this! I love this phone but I can't stand the lock screen! I have been wondering why the ROM developers have not included some way of changing the lock screen, at least back to the vanilla Android lock.

I'm assuming you mean the developers at OEMs because I'm loving the ability to change between quite a few lock screens on Audiophile thanks to Raver. xD

This would be perfect for tablet, since you dont need a dock for the phone and such. How did you get it onto your tablet (I am assuming that you did).
Running it now. Though I might recommend to add a feature for removing all bottom buttons

I designed SickSky for phones and not for tablets. The problem is if I allow it as compatible with tablets on Play, then a lot of people would not be happy with how it runs on a tablet (ie no landscape, no tablet-specific layouts etc). Anyhow it is still in beta for now.
Unfortunately the Play Store says it's incompatible with the HD2.
Says its incompatible with my Galaxy Nexus also.

It was like you just disappeared, and other than some scant tweets from your feed, felt like it's been forever.
On-topic: I take it unless otherwise, do you plan to include the ability to create additional homescreens, or is SickSky just a "single screen" deal?

From what I remember Slimbean has a non-standard DPI by default, so you will most likely get compatibility issues with a few apps on Google Play. I have however had quite a few reviews from Galaxy Nexus owners.

Not ignoring, didn't have an answer. Not sure why it isn't compatible on market. I don't have a ton of free time for SickSky.

It has been a good couple years. For now I am going to focus on building panels to suite most needs. Next up will probably be a shortcuts panel. Not impossible to add widget panels later on, but going to stay clear from that for now since I wouldn't use that myself.

That's cool. When I saw that development ceased on Zeam's Google Play page, I downloaded ADW EX Launcher (I still hold the Zeam apk files). The one feature that these two have that no one else seems to include were the ability to hold a good number of apps in their dock drawers.

Very true! I'll try setting it to a standard DPI like 320 or 213 and see if it works. Thanks! :good:
I'm on Beanstalk 4.3 and it's not compatible on my Gnex.

Any ROMs with Pie cooked in? Really surprised not to see this yet. GB is just too glitchy to make it a viable option. Thanks

I don't think so. I like that feature but I can understand it not being at the top of any dev's to-do list. I would keep an eye on Paranoid Android and SlimKat.

GravityBox glitchy? That's news to me. I use it on all three of my Android devices (N5, N7, Moto X) and haven't had a single issue on any of them. The expanded desktop + PIE control works great.

For me, every reboot causes the nav bar to reappear and then pie doesn't work. There was something else too but it has been a month since I used it last. And of course you can't use ART with Xposed

That's weird, I don't have that issue. Were you using expanded desktop or just setting your navbar height to zero? I have expanded desktop with PIE tied to a quicksettings toggle and it always goes back into whatever state I had it in after a reboot. Then again, it'll stay after a reboot if I shrink it to zero as well. What version of GravityBox are/were you on?
Try lmt launcher. It has a fully customizable pie.
