[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littlewhitedog:
Hello,

I just received mu Galaxy S 2, and I set up my corporate exchange account, which forces me to have a security code lock.

Before that I had the lock screen with notifications (if you get a sms or a call...) and now I only have the security code lock screen.

I would like to get the lock screen back (even If I have to go through the security lock after that). Is that possible?

I have a standard ROM, using Go Launcher EX.

Thanks,

Hello guys i've recently stumbled upon this excellent launcher, Espier launcher. It is a complete clone in looks to the iOs launcher.

Of course other android style launchers have more functions than the iphone types, but hey, it's still something to brag about android that istuff can't do! :D

It's on the market, grab yours today!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] H88RRY:
Already using it think its brill :D although widget support would make it the 5*****

https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwyLDEsIm1vYmkuZXNwaWVyLmxhdW5jaGVyIl0.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] consegregate:
Well it's trying to copy the ios so I guess it can't keep up with android widget Awesomeness.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] CallMeVentus:
I have been using it 2 weeks before you posted this :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] urnamu:
Me also! I'm using this for 2 weeks! :D

And totally loving it!:D Hahaha!

Best launcher that i have used! :D

Hmm... in you opinion...

What could be the just "Slide-to-Unlock" or "Iphone" type lockscreen?:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] consegregate:
Only noticed it last week when I saw an article written about it :P well it's good to share!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] consegregate:
There should be a widgetlocker theme for it right? I'm loving the CM7 ring lockscreen!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] QNBT:
The iPhone theme is installed already once you get widgetlocker!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] consegregate:
Is it? I got bored of third party lockscreens. Eating ram just for a lockscreen seems too much.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] CallMeVentus:
This doesn't eat up that much RAM .

You don't even need root .

Root allows it to have activation time of less than 5 seconds .

I added in my Apple Bootanimation along with My-UI and it's almost complete XD
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] consegregate:
Prefer the ring look. :) really nice to launch many custom apps easily from lockscreen too.

Had my fair share of dabble with widgetlocker, got bored of that :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] CallMeVentus:
Oh well , your choice ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] scoffyburito:
I like the task switcher! :-P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] CallMeVentus:
iOS insanity LOL
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] scoffyburito:
This is one of those launchers that you love to hate but hate to love
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] CallMeVentus:
LOLWUT
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] scoffyburito:
Ya know because you hate it naturally because its an apple clone but you love it because its a really good apple clone

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] consegregate:
Well I only like this clone because it gives android something to brag about, like we can have everything iOS can give and we still have far greater potentials. ^^

Espier is great. But the graphics and the responsiveness are not so good . There is another launcher called iLauncher in the android market. It has much better graphics and is verry responsive. Though it doesnt give you options of creating folders . But they claim that they are going to add it in the next version.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Spex:
espier launcher is far away better

it gives us pure ios look

that launcher will always be step ahead from ilauncher
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Modulüs:
you must be talking about the free version . i am talking about the paid one. The paid versiom-2.1.0.5 and it gives a perfect ios 5 lookalike. And now it also has folders looking just like ios ..check it out here:-

I use the espier and is great, I use lock2.0 to unlock, but must activate it everytime I turn on the phone
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Modulüs:
For the lock , go locker iphone animated theme is gr8 .mire similar to iphone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] SuperAce609:
For some reason, I can't install the 2.2 version. What version do you guys have installed of Espier? I installed it and got bored. Lol, about to try iLauncher.

Okay, iLauncher icons look a little glitched. Downloaded the APK of Espier 2.2 and its working great.

Espier hands down :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Mmjk3:
I once had it too. But then i didn't want it anymore abduction tried to install it but it didn't work at all. Now i know that if you don't want it anymore you have to remove its admin rights...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] SuperAce609:
Admin rights? Wtf? It didn't say any of that when I installed it..... not like it matters. I'll just force uninstall with Titanium Backup ;D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Mmjk3:
No it'd not admin rights exactly... Sorry for male you worry. Utter gas something o do it the lock i cent remember but because of the lock it has some security rights .... (dot worry its not something important just the lock....)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] SuperAce609:
Oh, if its the lock then yeah. Different locks need different permissions to be able to lock the screen. Either way, Titanium Backup is the way to go for force uninstalling :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] AceTec:
Thx for info man

Crashing

I've been using Espier for a while now, but ever since the last 2 updates it's been crashing a lot just from swiping back and forth and opening/closing folders and it's getting really annoying. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

I've got a HTC Sensation XE on gingerbread 2.3.4, rooted. ~140 apps

Would the number of apps I have affect the performance of my device and Espier launcher?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] scoffyburito:
Depends what's running
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] consegregate:
Even if not significantly, Ram use will be higher with more apps to display on espier.

I cannot point you to the real reason for the force closing but it might be the apps. No longer use Espier though, I'm a loyal launcherpro fan :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] konks:
It crashes when I swipe back and forth and opening and close folders. I checked my RAM and had about 100MB free.

[LG Optimus Black] sonic997:
[MIUI]Can we flash the P990 ROM to P970? Or flash from other phone's ROM?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
P990 with dual-core CPU, and the specification are completely different with P970. So, it's not compatible with our phone...

CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] sonic997:
but i really want to try MIUI with p970
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
So try it, but later don't cry that you bricked ur phone...
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Then you should wait for it... Every LG device, or every android device, won't compatible each other, for example P990 and P970. So don't try it.

CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] sonic997:
haha.I have a mistake that I think their button are just similar and wondering there is a chance to flash it. I think I am totally wrong.

besides, Go launcher EX with NOVA is still a problem of battery drain and lag on many games.

However, I promise, I won't try to flash MIUI before official release. Thanks for all of you:D
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Same buttons ain't mean anything.. lol. Glad you dint try.

Even the alpha versions of under development Rom can brick your device so trying to flash a completely another device 's Rom is quite pointless.

However I also wish we could have MIUI Rom soon as possible. :-)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] siggehandf:
I usually don't make any fuss over apps, but this one kicks too much but.

It's a media player, which plays all your usual formats. (no 1080p)

What makes this app really awesome, besides its free, is its built in lan support and ability to play movies inside rar files.

It also automatically searches for subtitles and downloads them, even over lan play!

Check it out, it's on the market with support for tegra 2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Vertumus:
I am using it and it is the best really. Is there a paid version and what is diff between free?

I haven't found a payed version. Think so far its only ad supported.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kaherdin:
The greatest player there is right now (nov 2011)

Market link

I have a setup at home that uses a NAS connected to the router to enable my PS3, my laptops and my Android devices to access videos and music from the entire house. THE issue that my Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 never has been able to show the videos from the NAS (streamed from the network to my tab that is).

This player has changed that completely. NOW it just simply works beautifully!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] AceTrader:
It also black out the bottom bar while playing, like the stock video player.

I don't have any problems with the stock video player.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] onkel_neme:
stock doesn´t play mkv files.

i only know dice player witch can play mkv.but it´s a paid app.

this is the best player for free ! but the best option ist the lan mode.its possible to stream 720p videos without lag !the code engine is verry good.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] b00sted:
i bought dice player and BSplayer one up's it other than i dont like the UI.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] vNa5h:
so guys mx player vs BS player vs Dice player ...

which it the best
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tiger33:
In terms of player performance,

Dice wins hands down - seriously impressive performance no matter what I throw at it.

But Lan Mode on BS Player!! DAMN!!

now thats impressive! - can play anything.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] ceejay83:
noob question, how do you setup the lan mode?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tiger33:
You need to make sure you are connected to your local wi-fi network and you have shared video folders on a connected PC.

Then click on Lan Mode (menu button )

and enter the details for the computer you want to connect to - either by ip address or computer name

also enter the usernamme and password of a user with priviledges to the shared folder.

Once you do that you will be able to connect to all of the videos in that folder.

What I find amazing is just how well videos stream using this

to the point that you dont have to actually copy movies to your phone when you are at home.

Its very well put together.

you can also save playlists of movies on your remote server
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] ceejay83:
ok i have my video folders shared. i can get bsplayer to see my network files but when i select a folder it says access denied. i turned off password protection
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tiger33:
Check your network sharing settings . Worst case enable guest mode. Do you get a log in prompt wheb you connect via bsplayer?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] ceejay83:
are you talking about the user/pass when you add a host? i just put in my pc's name and it shows the folders. i don't get a prompt when i try to access the folders

Hey pple been resarching and latest seems to be 2.3.5. When i search in kies says i have latest which is 2.3.3. How can i update?

If its been asked before sorry
[Galaxy S II General] alex2787:
The updates are available but not at the same time and not in all countries. It depends on in what country you live and what branding the phone has.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Android version 2.3.5 is leaked, if you want it you'll have to flash it via Odin. The latest - official- version of Android is 2.3.4 but as stated previously, it depends on what country you live in/your phones brand/etc.
[Galaxy S II General] 08r3308:
Im in australia. How can i check if im branded?
[Galaxy S II General] qsec:
There is official 2.3.5 versions. For example ki8 for the Nordic region.

Villainrom doesnt need an odin flash, its all installed from CWM recovery.

Only odin use needed is a kernel flash that includes CWM, villainrom comes pre-rooted too.

anyone know whats causing this?
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
clear DALVIK CACHE in CLOCKWORK > advanced
[GT540 Optimus General] clienthax:
if you read my post youd know that ive already done that.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
If you read that post carefully you would

know that dalvik cache is different from cache!!

If that doesn't wipe data..

Last option is to reflash!!
[GT540 Optimus General] clienthax:
i wiped them both ;(

thing is i didnt have this problem on my old rom (a old swiftdroid before the 2.0 rcs)

but that rom prety much suicided on me (unrooted + some other curroptions)

so i had to upgrade to rc5 it fix's itself after a reboot, its just anoying D:

It happened for me also at first.but when I changed my apn it works fine now.

Do you try with other 2.3.7 Rom ?
[GT540 Optimus General] grappas:
What do you mean? I've downloaded my rom from these thread:

i have the same problem with this rom. The apn connection is fine but whenever i connect to wifi i have to reboot my phone for it to transfer data but after awhile it stop again and i have to reboot again.
[GT540 Optimus General] cathaclac:
im using v6 supercharger update 8.

maybe this one is the cause??????
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
I didn't see much negative effects made by the V6 Supercharger than the KA Kernelizer Tweak (which completely destroyed my phone :)).
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
if a reflash or wipe doesn't solve the bugs

then i think it is a hardware problem!!

quickly get a warranty before they run out of stock

as they are not selling GT540 anymore!! :(
[GT540 Optimus General] cathaclac:
i've reflashed back to rc3 and everything work fine but when i flash rc5 i got the same problem again.

Wonder what i did wrong???

And i even flash back to rom 2.1 (with kdz and it really scare me) and connection is really fast so i dont think it s because of the hardware
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
then i think it might be the system partitions that are

creating this problem..

but i don't know to much about partitions..
[GT540 Optimus General] cathaclac:
well... i have around 3.47MB free of system partition... and i use bootloaderbuilder with 150 sys 234 data

do u have this problem?

should i remove the bootloader? and how???? (sr for noob question ~_~)
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
i am not really sure if it is cause of this..

and i don't think it is really because of the partition but

i don't really know..

try asking one of the developers, they should know better than me.
[GT540 Optimus General] cathaclac:
i havent got enough post to post in the development side yet... (T_T)

thanks anyway ^^

i will try to reflash the rom without resizing my partition this time
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
When did this problem start?
[GT540 Optimus General] cathaclac:
since i flash rc5..

roms before like rc3 or rc4 doesnt have this problem

oh...! And i use recovery image go with the rc5 too (5.0.2.3)
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
try fastboot..

using recovery is a bit safer but its not

100% bug free..

fastboot is a bit better than recovery but also a bit

more risky..

But still try reflash in fastboot and wipe everything before flashing!!
[GT540 Optimus General] cathaclac:
then should i resize my partitions?
[GT540 Optimus General] grappas:
no scripts, wipe and flash didn't solved the problem
[GT540 Optimus General] grappas:
I think I have solution. I'll send it to you when I'll back from work. :)
[GT540 Optimus General] cathaclac:
full wipe doesn't help at all ~_~

it connect for a few minutes and then the wifi signal still on but couldn't connect to the internet at all T_T

fastboot or recovery i tried both and still doesn't make any difference
[GT540 Optimus General] grappas:
OK. Back in business :).

As I promised I give you a soution for problem from topic.

First of all:

1. Download, unpack and put image of rc5 for recovery on your sdcard (you must do it before proceeding):

http://depositfiles.com/files/ggv3n4v6u

2. Put your device into recovery mode (power+home).

3. Go to: 'mounts and storage'

4. Execute one by one:

-format /boot

-format /cache

-format /data

-format /system

Now all data from device is deleted. DO NOT TURN OFF OR REBOOT YOUR PHONE!

5. Back to main menu of recovery mode.

6. Go to: 'install zip from from sd card'>'choose zip from sdcard'

7. Choose your image.

8. Wait a while.

9. REBOOT.

10. Click 'thanks'. ;)

11. Enjoy. :D

PS. Sorry for my english. Correct me on priv.
[GT540 Optimus General] m1st3r1:
^^

lol.. ive done those before, in fact in every rom-update i always do that..

and still the internet cut off happened.

the only way to make it works again is press data and/or change the 3g/2g in notification power widget.

kinda annoying though.
[GT540 Optimus General] grappas:
You sure you did FORMAT not WIPE or ERASE? It is a difference.

In my case format solved problem with it.
[GT540 Optimus General] cathaclac:
well...

i wipe data first and then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then format as u told.

and install new rom but still got cut off

i even wipe everything using fastboot before install rc5 but didn't solve the problem at all
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
then don't use swiftdroid and another rom!
[GT540 Optimus General] cathaclac:
I like swiftdroid best
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
then i think ur going to have to stick with

internet not working..

until someone comes up with a solution..

or maybe use another swiftdroid like RC4
[GT540 Optimus General] stediste:
BT headset doesn't work in RC5. In RC4 work perfectly and I don't know what I can do.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
just stay on rc4..

there is not much of a big difference..
[GT540 Optimus General] grappas:
That's too bad :( It's work for me. Uptime 10 hrs and still no internet cut off.
[GT540 Optimus General] m1st3r1:
ok ur right.. i never use format from cwm, bcause i use erase from fastboot.. i only have fastboot version...

and now at swiftdroid 2 asis the problem is bigger. its not cut off, it's just not sending any data after a couple minutes after reboot (it only connected in few minutes after reboot). i really dont know what's wrong... argh!!!

:eek:
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
dude as i said before just use a rom which has

no problems..

like RC4/3/2/1/0
