After installing new apps, sometimes the icon appears in a new screen, sometimes I get a blank screen (that I can't remove until I reboot), sometimes nothing happens (and a new screen with shortcuts appears after a reboot).
Is this just me?

It's not just you, I have this bug too.
But if you want to remove the blank screen without reboot the device just move an icon to the blank screen then remove it again

This happens because sometimes after installing a new app, we move from that screen or perform another action before the new apps icon can be placed by default on a new screen. This results in a blank screen with nothing on it. You can't move or delete the homescreen because it renders that there should be a new app shortcut there, but we don't see one. So what i've done to avoid this is, wait for the app shortcut to push to the home screen, the remove it and that automatically gets rid of the home screen.
If it does show up blank again, as he recommended, just move something to that new screen then remove it again and it will disappear.
That new function is similar to that of iOS, when installing a new app, it tries to show you the shortcut to what you just installed, rather than having you manually create the short cut yourself.
Kind of annoying - agreed, but you adjust. It's second nature to me now.
You can have it not put the icons on your home screen by default in Google play settings. The option is place widgets on homescreen automatically. Disable that and newly downloaded apps stay in your app drawer for you to place manually if you want.

I think this is fixed in 4.4.1 or 4.4.2.
Installed and removed a handful of apps and the extra screens and app shortcuts now consistently do what they're supposed to do.

Last night flashed generic 2.3.3 from forum to phone. All running fine till today. Sometimes when exiting apps its like the home app has restarted. I lose the icons either side of the app drawer button then they come back. Weirdly if i go into the drawer lots of the icons have been replaced by empty space or a grey box. Then they slowly re appear. Anyone ever had this? All the menu order settings default also. Returning to my setting when what i guess is the home app finishes re loading.

Are you still envy of the brilliant lock screen of Android 3.0? Now, as long as your phone is Android system, you will be able to experience the beauty of the lock screen. Only use one button, you can choose to use this ripple lock screen or system default screen.
Drag the inside circle to the outside circle can unlock screen.
hope u will like it~~
it does exactly what it says and looks great doing it. i dont like the whole points system tho. otherwide i give this app 9 out of 10. good job.

Just download it, open a file explorer, go to it's download location (wherever you downloaded it to) and click on it. Also remember to allow installation of non-market apps in the settings. Another way would to just search for it on the market. Market link - (Free) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free&feature=search_result ; (Paid) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen&feature=search_result .
This is pretty smooth,
One thing I thought was odd was that in your setup you have an Ad. While not odd in itself, you need to make money somehow. The ad was in Chinese, or Japanese, or some other symbol language.
I'd probably be more inclined to click an ad I could read, just a heads up.
One of the best lock-app. 10/10

Nice lock screen app, but the short cut settings are very unstable. Sometimes they work, most times they don't...
Like This . Thank You .
Tested the free version an view minutes and bought the app. Great look screen!
I like it but the use of a lockscreen is destroyed when just a home button exits the lock.
Great job dev!

Hey dev, I have a small glitch. Using the ripple lock and the phone was in sleep mode my alarm went off. I had no way of turning the alarm off. Nothing popped up giving me the option to turn the alarm off. The phone woke up locked but that was it. I was using the stock alarm if that matters.
Thanks.

Is there a way to disable the volume buttons? Right now when the volume buttons are pushed the screen turns on and makes a beep sound
i really love ripplelock, but i have one problem:
if i put my phone in airplanemode at night (to save some battery) and turn off airplanemode at the next morning, usualy the PIN-input-screen pops up. But if i install ripple lock, the PIN-input-screen doesnt pop up, regardless of the chosen double-lockscreen method. only while system security lock is enabled, the PIN-input-screen pops up, but this way i get an double lockscreen.
The only version, which works properly for me without this issue is v2.2, evrey other version above 2.2 has the descriped bug. Thats why i stick with this version and hope this issue will be fixed soon.
(Also I would love to see that the home-button doesnt unlock anymore, while the status-bar is hidden (one of two main reasons, why i use ripple lock instead of the modded system lockscreen, which looks nearly the same except for the visible status-bar and that the lock icon functions only as a slider).)
BTW: I'm on an rooted Desire HD with cm7
Pretty cool app. Slight bugs:
1st time I had a notification written in Chinese or something. Then came up in English after I got through that one. Maybe or maybe not a bug; maybe you could ask the user 1st time setup which language to use.
2nd bug is that I came out of standby and was at the homescreen and then the lockscreen loaded up a second or two later. Maybe it's my midrange phone (Galaxy Ace) causing it to be a bit laggy.
Otherwise pretty awesome app.
I love the look of honeycomb especially the lockscreen. I've been using Ripple Lock for about 3 weeks now. So far so good. Thank you Dev!
I've seen this recurrently happening on my Nexus 5 (stock on 4.4.2).
I have an app shortcut on my home screen. An update becomes available for the app, so I update.
the icon vanishes from the home screen but the app is updated correctly and is in the app drawer.
I just need to drag it onto the home screen again to create a new shortcut.
Why is this happening? Can I prevent it? A search of the forums here only suggests that itc possibly because the icon is updated as part of the update and therefore the old app icon is removed? hmm... The app icon looks the same each time, but I suppose it could be that reason.
Thanks guys.
This sometimes happens, when the app gets a new or updated icon.
If this won't happens on all app updates, all is fine

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)

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.

Are there settings for the following features?
1. To turn off the message on the home screen that says "swipe up or down to show apps".
2. Turn off the Wallpaper for the Always On display?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
The swipe message disappears after you use the gesture to both open and close the app drawer.
As far as I can tell, that wallpaper is unchangable.
I already post this in another thread...
The blue text on the lock screen.
You have to double tap on it then tap the next button in the bottom right.
Keep pressing next until it turns into ok.
Once done it wont come back on.
And you can go into the aod settings and change the background and style of the lock screen.
You can definitely change the wallpaper for AOD, in the themes section. I've seen a select few other wallpapers for it, keep in mind the theme store has more paid ones than free.

I have opened and closed the app drawer over and over with this gesture and yet every single time i unlock my phone, i get this message. Are we sure thats the solution? I've even restarted my device and did a restore on it as well and i still get this message. It is absolutely mind boggling that there is no way to actually disable tooltips like this one.
EDIT: Ask and ye shall receive! So, no sooner than i posted this did i look and my phone was downloading an update. After the update this annoying message is GONE! Whats funny is the first thing i did after getting home with the new device this morning was to check for software updates and there wasnt one.
