Hi folks,

I want to develop a custom lockscreen for android ICS tabs. From what i googled it seems that there are two ways:

1. develop custom homescreen with some lockscreen mechanism (which can take PIN from user and show user home after validation) using standard SDk APIs.

2. Develop a custom lockscreen, replacing default one with it using flashing at OS level.

can you please help me out, also which of two will be more efficient sdk api's or modifying ROM (im not planning to put it on market anyway ) , also can please point me to refrences where I can start learning android development (ROM customization and sdk).......

thanks in advance ......

I do recommend those too if you are ultimately trying to move to a custom ROM, that method saves some time if you know what you're doing and are a flashaholic with S-off lol.

For those of you that are using this launcher, is there a way to remove the 3 dot menu button that stays under the dock? It is taking up screen real estate and very annoying
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Not yet, from what I've read. But Nova is a great launcher made for ICS and doesn't have the menu bar.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wuestsider:
Try using Apex Launcher. It is set up like go launcher and launcherpro but it is specifically designed for ICS. However, it cost $3.99.

Here sample of my home screen with Apex Launcher.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Will of fire:
Use nova launcher I don't think you can remove it. I'll check on my bros phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tannerj:
I am having major issues myself with go launcher on my HTC Evo LTE.

I have the same issue the op posted plus I have made go launcher my default launcher when I go to the phone app and try to make a call I am not able to put them on speaker. When I go back to HTC Sense I can get the dealer app with the speaker button on it. I can get the dial pad but not the speaker phone button.

Does anyone else have this problem or is it only me.

Thanks....

Go launcher slows your phone down considerably. Try Apex or Nova or Holo.

What's the launch with the smallest footprint once installed?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evo4ger:
i believe they added this setting in the latest software release or may be built into Fresh ROM...settings>display gestures and button>recent app buttons then select the second option "pres menu, press and hold for recent apps"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I tried Apex, Go, and Nova. Ended up sticking with Nova. Couldn't stand those menu dots. Apex I loved, except that it was laggy on my phone. Home screen would take up to 5-10 seconds to appear. Nova doesn't do this to me. They just updated today and now it includes adding columns/rows to the app drawer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evo4ger:
i just posted how to fix the three dots on any launcher it basically turns your recent app button into a menu button (if you hold down it will show recent apps)...but nova has been the smoothest launcher though
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
Yes, I didn't think of that. I tried Go before the update, but overall I like Nova better. Go developers began to turn me off with GoSMS and all the bloatware, and I ended up getting rid of that, too, and switched to Chomp.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav quietly brilliant:
this problem is called kernel wake lock.. you must downgrade to gb, do a full wipe then install a fresh ics via kies or odin, after booting up in ics go into your recovery mode holding volume up + home button + power key and clear your cache 4 time in a row this will solve your issue and maybe increase your battery life if you having any problem on ics related to battery backup

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
I don't why people always say they need to root first, it's BS.

All you do is use odin to flash CWM. No need to flash SU if you are gonna flash a custom rom. I just think people don't know what rooting means or does.

All you need is a custom recovery like CWM, then flash a rom.

If you are staying stock sure, flash cwm and then SU to root it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aranurea:
Please don't confuse the OP. I mean sure he can do what you said, but rooting first is a sort of standard that everyone follows.

Hi,

I unpacked my new HTC One X grey yesterday and quickly noticed a little dodgy pixel down at the bottom left corner. It isn't a dead pixel, but it doesn't seem to be a stuck pixel either.

What I noticed was that when using an app which has the little black menu bar down the bottom one pixel was always shining white.

But when I used the 'Colours Dead Pixel Detect and Fix It' app I discovered that this little pixel can be any colour, including black -- but that it just doesn't take the colour its supposed to - the detect and fix app has a black menu bar down the bottom so the pixel should always be black, but the pixel takes on the colour which is flashing on the rest of the screen. When the screen is blue the pixel is blue, when the screen is white the pixel is white, when the screen is black the pixel is black. But it should be black all the time with that app.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? Is it a software problem? I tried restarting the phone with no luck. :confused:

Thanks!
[HTC One X] Clovisius:
get a replacement, it's a hardware problem properly.
[HTC One X] elmonen:
I also have one pixel like this.. thought about replacing the phone but my unit doesn't have other problems so i decided to live with it for now.. gonna send it to repair some day.
[HTC One X] mox123:
if its only a pixel i wouldnt worry about it, your eyes and brain will get used to it, however if you can return it still then go return it otherwise if you are out of return period then just keep it if everything else ok
[HTC One X] monkeywriter:
thanks

What do you think it is though? So I can tell them when I call to have it replaced. It's not a dead pixel as they're just dark, and stuck pixels are just a single colour... ?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
white pixel? visible at bright area and angles?

probably hot pixel
[HTC One X] monkeywriter:
It's not just white though - it seems to take on the colour of whatever is brightest near it - so if the bulk of the screen is red then it's red, if the bulk of the screen is green then it's green. But if the rest of the screen is black then it's black. If it were a hot pixel wouldn't it always be white even if the bulk of the screen were black?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yup this is what im talking about, i returned my second HOX for this reason

its either a hot pixel or spec of dust under the glass
[HTC One X] monkeywriter:
I've left it flashing with that stuck pixel fixing app in the probably vain hope that it will work - really don't want to have to wait for a replacement! :o
[HTC One X] hamdir:
sorry bro don't bother pixel fixer wont help with it

its not a dead pixel
[HTC One X] KingNothingUA:
had the same and returned phone. for me, the pixel was always black.

where exactly was it located at yours? mine was in the left corner as well. more exactly: when you are in the homescreen and have the google play icon in the down left corner, the pixel was in the word "play" under the icon.
[HTC One X] monkeywriter:
Mine's in the black menu bar at the bottom - on the home screen just to the right of the green mouthpiece on the telephone icon.
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

It doesn't sound like a faulty pixel in the typical sense, more the pixel connection has become coupled to another one, sort of a short circuit somewhere. This could be a fault in the LCD screen, the ribbon connection, or the LSI driving the display.

Either way just call it a dead pixel, as long as you describe how they will see it so they confirm it isn't right it shouldn't be a problem.

There is an app in the Market called Auto Wifi Toggle. I use that, works great. There is also an app called Power Saver Settings (ICS) by Derek Reynolds (aka myn on xda) that shows some hidden settings in ICS. There is an option that is turned off by default that will turn off wifi when it isn't connected, so it works the same way but I'm not sure how well that works. I've been using AWT for years now. Only one issue that I find is that when restoring from TB, it doesn't work until you reconfigure it. No big deal :)

use power setting from derek (myn) in google play, option to turn wifi off when no connected
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:
Didn't seem to work. It didn't do anything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
It might only catch the disconnect event, meaning, you may need to enable that option, connect to a wifi network, exit the range of that wifi network and it should trigger wifi off. There may also be a small waiting period before it does it, not sure. But that would only make sense to wait 30sec - 1 min before shutting off wifi.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:
I waited for about 4-5 minutes. Perhaps these ics hidden power saving features simply weren't implemented.

Based on official Samsung Sources. Governors copied from freexperia github. Other changes by me.

Tested with S7500XXLC2/S7500OXXLC1/S7500XXLC2. Flash with odin.

OC Build:

- Overclock frequencies seem to have the same performance but OC is indeed working, thanks to mb-14!

(Confirmed after many tests quadrant/setcpu/neocore cpu frequency is the same from minimal overclock to 1200Mhz)

- My phone as crashed 3 since I've overclocked it, so beware!

- Unless there is a better way of ocing, my newer builds will have oc disabled.

OC build v2 (31 May, 22h):

- Removed all overclock frequencies but 1200Mhz.

Bugs affecting all builds (even official ones):

- "Fuel gauge" might be bugged (maybe due to old/bugged samsung sources?) update:might be an rom bug instead.

- 3 pole headphones have noise in one channel and then the noise disappears (jack sensing bug?)

Sources Help & feedback are appreciated.

EDIT:

New kernel posted minimal changes again (samsung config updated from a new version LE1)

Custom recovery based on cm9 (5.5.0.4) posted (appears to work fine but more testing is required). Bootloop fixed. If you get stuck in recovery (unknown boot mode) go to "advanced" and choose "reboot recovery" when it is finished rebooting into cwm again choose "reboot system now".

Even while charging the bug exists...
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] blackburner:
Strange I can't seem to make it lag on savagedzen. The UI feels slower but music isn't lagging. Do you have any sound effect enabled?

Edit: I've got lag when using the EQ and waking the phone.

Edit 2: I've uploaded a hopefully fixed version, let's also hope that the changes that I made won't screw up the battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] deadwood01:
flashed test kernel 3

the same bug exists wen used with EQ but the intensity of the bug is only 20% compared to the previous one also increasing the min freq to 480 completely nullifies the bug...also with EQ off the bug doesnt exist

will see how the battery life is... btw have u played with the drivers/bus to change the battery life...?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] blackburner:
I can't get any lag at all now (after v3). Can you give my all your parameters? EQ settings, mp3 bitrate, where is your music stored and if using an sd card what type of sd card are you using.

I've set the minimum at 19Mhz and on air plane mode and by morning I still had the same battery than yesterday (89%).

The only thing that I changed was the cpu frequency table to include 800 Mhz at the same voltage than 600 Mhz and so far it seems ok, but might not be true to all phones.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] mb-14:
Check my fork of your kernel on my github.I have got OC working.

P.S: Could you update your repo to the latest kernel source from samsung?My net speed is very sucky :P
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] blackburner:
I don't see any new kernel versions on the Samsung open source release center.. I'm still going to test oc did you change anything else than the CPU frequency table?

Edit: Overlclock is working! Thanks to mb-14!

Anyway it looks like the cpu when on OC is always working at the same frequency, since by overclocking it to 1017 I get an 150 ms reduction on setcpu native bench. And it remains the same for all the other frequencies.

For what I've understanded of PLL and CPU clocks looks like the cpu is running at 1200 MHz. (In the frequency table you can claim any frequency but it doesn't mean the cpu is running at that speed)

Edit: With OC my phone crashes after a while (ram dump mode)

Edit 2: Neocore doesn't seem to care too about the cpu frequency I set above the stock 1008Mhz. From 1017Mhz to 1200Mhz the score is always the same (85,6Fps)
