Hey guys. I made a mod that allows you to select whatever widget you wish for your lockscreen. It allows home screen widgets and lockscreen widgets. Some home screen widgets may not work perfectly but most should. Don't forget to hit thanks :)

This is for STOCK BASED TOUCHWIZ ROMs!

If you find this breaks a specific ROM feature, just let me know VIA PM and i will fix it for you. (I ask via PM cause i sometimes miss peoples posts)

If you are running Wicked's ROM use the "WICKED" version. :) (thanks [MENTION=4212162]elflip88[/MENTION] for the file)

Just flash attached zip in recovery and profit :) Btw, don't forget to hit thanks ;)

Next project, volume slider in lockscreen :D

Would anyone be interested in a new modded version of cm7? Im new to xda but been modding my g2x for over 2 years with mods and apps i find on here and other places. Let me know if your intetested
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pagan17:
Make it, evereting new or update is more than welcome

Puerto rico!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hippiesky:
As like everyone else out here i am not responsible for any issues that may happen to your phone.

I named it skyrom after my kid . First time posting something like this hope i did it right :). This is basically stock, no real performance upgrades besides a faster gps. Much cooler ui then standard cm7. Let me know what yall think . Pm me for the link since im a nooby it wont let me: (

Looks awesome.... Does bluetooth works on the new baseband?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hippiesky:
Probably not, i used the latest nightly. I dont use Bluetooth so i really dont know. Mostly themed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Arinberd:
Can you be able to make a rom with working bluetooth it can be stock as well with ics/jb theme. I use stock with custom kernel now. Only thing I want to add to it is ics theme. I don't want to use anything from market as it takes more memory.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hippiesky:
Sorry dont think i can. Have not been on stock since they updated to new baseband. And only stayed on that until i was able to reroot. Couldnt find any stock themes besides launcher themes. Theres an app called ninjamorph where u can change things but u must be real carefull. I watched and read many things on it before i used it. Most stuff i do is directly on my phone by zipping and unzipping different roms and seeing what works. Biggest problem with this phone is everyone is so concerned with ics or jb. And getting that to work would be great but until then we should create new roms with a more up to date ui. This phone is pretty quick and can do lots of cool stuff and why pay $600 for a new phone when this one still works fine. Had mine almost 2 1/2 years :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hippiesky:
Also if im not mistaken if u roll your phone back to the previous baseband i believe bluetooth works on cm7. I could totally be wrong and i couldnt even begin to tell u how to do that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Arinberd:
Do you know how to roll back to old baseband? I would definitely do that because I like to use this phone and your exactly right why get different phone when we already have one that needs to have so adjustments to it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hippiesky:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1180331 try that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hippiesky:
Make sure u read! Follow instructions to a T. Ive never rolled back so im not to sure what to expect
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
yeah....definitely do your studying before trying to roll back.

This is a great rom!!! Thanks for your job

I have a dead xda2, and I bought new I-mate jam. Is there any way I can flash my dead xda2 by using my new jam.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cruisin-thru:
What do you mean by "dead", what is the problem precisely? Do you get serial on screen? If you do then you have an intact bootloader and will be able to download a rom from this site to flash to your phone.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] daonly:
hey guys

hi

@daonly:ur device is in bootloader mode...the question is:does the serial on the top of ur screen changes to USB when u put ur device in cradle???if yes then read the links i've posted :D

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jimlarck:
Hey guys, so I'm going Tablet hunting and have come down with 2 leading candidates, the Pipo M7 Pro, a Chinese Tablet. or the Nexus 7 (2013).

The only thing that worries me is the development. As a Flashaholic I'd like a tablet with decent dev support, and I haven't seen any dev support for the Pipo M7 Pro.

Now, the Nexus 7 Multi touch and GPS/random reboot issues have me here at bay, making the debate a bit more intense.

I'll probably use my tablet for reading, school related work or gaming/listening to music (rarely though, I'll probably have my Galaxy Nexus for that which works fine really(or a Nexus 5 by the time it comes out ;)))

Any recommendations/Opinions/Point of views will be appreciated. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] z0phi3l:
Nexus 7, most of not all the "issues"with it are a very vocal minority, overflowing a small problem, of it were half as big an issue as they try to make ir to bbr, ir would be all the blogs
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] danvee:
Small, yes.

Vocal, yes.

Very real, though. And, to some degree, acknowledged by the powers that be at Google...

The people posting, including myself, have been through 2-3 of more N7 2013s.

It's the luck of the draw. It may only effect a few percent, but over the multi thousands sold, it's a percentage that needs to be taken seriously.

If you purchase one, be sure that it's from a seller offering a good return/exchange policy.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jimlarck:
Mostly every blog I've read mentions it. But I guess I'm just on that "unlucky and unconventional" part of the internet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] hyperxguy:
Been thru quite a few "shows" ... the TF101, the 2012 Nexus 7 & now the 2013 Nexus 7...

I still don't hesitate a bit to buy one. Heck, I even wish there is a refurbished sales right now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jimlarck:
So it is a hardware issue? And not software related?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] danvee:
Your guess is as good as theirs right now....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nutsonfire:
Chinese stuff is just not up to par as brand name stuff yet. Their specs look great, benchmarks are great, but in reality they are far far apart when you use both side by side.

I have a Ifive X2 with a RK3188 and it lags like hell, battery is good, screen is nice, but real world performance is just awful. Since I got my Note 8 from repair, I dont use the X2 at all anymore.

For the small price difference it just makes no sense to consider Chinese stuff vs a Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dpaganello:
This Pipo M7 Pro isn't a fastest tablet in the world and after a bit of customizations is in real world usable. The screen is impressive, good battery, very good Wi-Fi and the firmware is stable. I don't regret my (old ) Nexus 7

M7 is great for browsing internet, reading books and multimedia but not too suited for video games.

I am satisfied but not enthusiastic.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jimlarck:
Thank you for your opinion.

Pipo is a pretty good Chinese company, we're not just talking about those ripoff chinese companies you find on Ebay, and I have used Rockchip based devices and can vouch for them, they're not as bad as you say.

So your "no sense to consider Chinese stuff vs a Nexus 7" is kind of stereotypical and not really reliable
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] evilhunter101:
First,

I agree with the above line in bold.

Second,

If you aren't in a hurry to buy a tablet, I'd wait to see what the TegraTab and the LG G Pad 8.3 end up being like. That's what I'm going to do when I return/exchange my N7 flo for the 3rd time. I'm on my 2nd one now, so hopefully the 3rd try will be the the charm! I expect both those options to be more expensive, but if either of them is within 100 of the 32gb N7 flo (as long as it's 32gb or 16gb with a microsd), then I'll probably give it a shot.

Third,

If you absolutely want a tablet right now, I can't recommend the N7 in good conscience. Having had two with the same exact issue(multitouch), I would say the odds are pretty good that you'd get one with the same issue. That said, if the N7 is what you like and you don't mind potentially returning/exchanging it, get one. Just be sure to buy from somewhere with a good return/exchange program. I've had pretty good luck with Best Buy so far, as well as Amazon. I'd choose Best Buy if there's one near you for ease of returning/exchanging, i.e. no wait time.

Good Luck!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nutsonfire:
I have one of the latest and greatest Chinese tabs as I write in my post.

Yes they are better then what they used to be but they still lack in some aspects. These tabs using the RK3188 chip in real life are just not want the benchmarks want you to believe. The Chinese keep cutting corners where they shouldn't and it shows. So yeah it looks like you get a lot for 200$ but when you use it you understand why its cheaper.

It's no surprise that all the high end Chinese tabs and phones end up using Qualcomm and Samsung CPUs and cost almost the same as brand name stuff.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jimlarck:
Since when are benchmarks actually safe, legitimate and trustworthy?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Nutsonfire:
They are not, but fans of Chinese stuff like to go crazy about them and use them to compare with brand name products. If I see two products with similar scores I would expect similar function but clearly it's not the case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] suunnittelija:
I had Asus Infinity TF700T before, but I was very disappointed about the build quality and the lagging of the device. I hated that tab every moment. I didn't install custom rom because it required unlocking the device and loosing the warranty. So I sold it and bought Pipo M7pro.

I like the screen and size of the tablet and this is much faster and smoother than Asus TF700. Also the build quality is better than on Asus, which had loose screen even repaired three times for warranty.

Multi window feature is pretty cool! Check the video from youtube.

I'm really satisfied of this cheap Chinese tab! :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Jimlarck:
So after reading some of your messages and doing some more research on my own. I've decided to wait until October, if the Nexus 7 multitouch problems have been resolved (they're addressing the problem at their warehouses/manufacturers or fixed it on an update) I'll buy it, if not, then Pipo M7 Pro will have to be my choice.

Really like the N7 but what use is there buying it when chances are that I'll get a broken Tablet, no, I can wait, I trust Google that they'll resolve this soon, it isn't the first time they've encountered a problem with manufacturers, like the N4 for example, with the infamous exploding back(I did think it was spontaneous and comical so I did have a laugh about it, hopefully the owners got a replacement though)

Thank you all for your messages and opinions. Especially those who gave their completely unbiased opinion and thoughts.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Zilliman:
I think the Chinese phones and tablets may have some issues but then again so do other phones. In my opinion it is best to wait for a very comprehensive review before you buy. And only buy from a near-by supplier that is willing to take it back if it is faulty, do not buy direct from China because it is unlikely to get your money back, plus the shipping costs and customs would make it uneconomical to return items.

For example, a year ago I bought a Chinese phone, with superb specifications. It seems to have two faults (at least). First, it is very fussy with the SD card, many applications do not work with it and especially GPS Navigation applications that store huge maps on the SD card. Secondly the GPS receiver is either broken or simply very, very bad. My dedicated Garmin GPS, my wife's iPhone4, my son's Samsung S3 : they all lock on to the GPS almost instantly. The Chinese phone needs to be absolutely stand still for like 5-10 minutes before it can lock on. Completely useless in the car for example, I have to stop the car, and then wait 5-10 minutes so it can lock.

Someone said above that high-end Chinese phones and tabs use Qualcomm and Samsung parts and not their own. Well, no **** Sherlock! That qualifies as one of the most idiotic statements I have read. Every single electronic device in the world uses parts made by various/hundreds of other manufacturers. This has always been the case. I would not expect the Pipo M7 Pro to have components made by Pipo - and it does not matter anyway. My Sony VAIO laptop does not use a "SONY" CPU, or chipset, or GPU, or memory, or capacitors, or resistors, actually I doubt that a single component inside my laptop is actually made by Sony, except perhaps the badge!!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] RKight:
I have to say, I bought the 2012 N7 as well as my 2013 and both were flawless from the start. My fiancee got my 2012 when i bought my new one and it's still going strong. The only issue I have at all with the 2013 is a delayed wake when using a magnetic cover. That's obviously a software issue, as leaving Bluetooth on fixes the problem.

Oh and Zilliman, your Chinese phone sounds like my old Samsung Captivate. That thing had the worst GPS I've ever seen. Developers worked hard to fix it but it was never very good. Completely useless even when walking, let alone driving.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Zilliman:
Here's a problem for those with N7 Pro : the speakers crackle at high volume.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NexusRunner:
Do not buy M7 Pro

OK I guess finally I may have something to help after getting so many helps from this nice forum.

I live in China and I'd say I'm quite familiar with Chinese tablets and nexus devices. (proud owner of both types) I've yet to find a Chinese native brand tablet that marches either Nexus 7's build quality or OS stability. (always search for teardown pics before decision) Usually they have small problems here or there, but you don't have a bug list and workaround thread in a good forum simply because they don't have enough users.

There are worth buying Chinese tablets though. They are usually much cheaper than Nexus 7, don't have fatal problems, have good user base and forums to post workarounds of those small issues, and recently they start to come in so many varieties of screen size. (there used to be a time when they are mainly 7" widescreen, before the mighty Nexus 7's arrival.)

IMHO if you prefer 7" tablet, just grab the new Nexus 7. If not, don't buy M7 Pro for the following reasons:

1 Rockchip is not as friendly to devs as its rival SoC company Allwinner. I can find unofficial CM10.2 on AllWinner platform but I find almost nothing on Rockchip;

2 RK3188 seems strong, but in practice it's not a good chip for HD "Retina" display due to poor design choice of a single channel 32bit memory controller, which results a memory bandwidth that nearly kills GPU performance. BTW that's just a fraction of bandwidth compared to the new Nexus 7. I heard the GPU performance is so poor that even stock launcher can't go butterly smooth.

However RK3188 + a 1024*768 display is fine.

Summary: don't buy RK3188+HD display like the M7 Pro; strongly recommend new Nexus 7

correction: No Chinese SoC performs well on 1080p display. I'd guess 720p is the limit.

Hope it helps
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] faddat:
just bought one

I just bought one yesterday. I will be sure to check in and let you know how that goes for me. I am a current n7 2013 user and a past n4 user(dropped it, that is why the pipo). I will make sure to check in on this thread and let you know how it stacks up. The "killer app" for me would be if it can function nearly as well as my N7 and make phone calls reliably. I live in China, so this was a particularly good looking deevixe that I frankly chose because of the one feature that it offers that have nowhere else: the ability to make phone calls. If those things work, it is likely you'll hear rave reviews. Right now the concern for me is build quality.

Thanks

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] postadelmaga:
Chinese is bad ? wake up everything is made in China

I'm leaving in China for the last 6 month and I just want to share my experience.

I bought 2 devices here 100% made in china:

Pipo m7 pro ( 2 day ago so I cannot say much about it) about 130euro

TCL idol x ( some month ago ) about 250euro

Both devices have HD screen, 2gb ram, 16gb rom and a quad core CPU (Got them in less that 24 hours, no issues, pay on deliver)

Take care I'm not very inside Android app/games and this kind of devices, however I'm a developer (mainly PHP) and I'm on the HW stuff from when I was 12 ( about 20 year ago ).

Both devices are very well manufactured (especially the phone) and NFS run smooth ( both devices) and this enough to me to say CPU/GPU works fine (as I said I don't know many games).

The only bad point of the phone is the battery (I guess is a common issue on many smartphone) but the quality of material and performance/spec are same or better than last Iphone ( about 600euro ) ( that is produced in china as well )

Here people (Chinese) has the same opinion of many user: "Why you bought this ? is not good ( is not american/korean brand )" == "that jsut shows how powerful are ads to brainwash poor mind ..." ( people earn 300/400 euro a month but still they want last Iphone, just to use 'what's up' on a more shinny and fashion gadget)

Guys wake up, american dream is a nightmare !!! and everything is made in china ( unfortunately we teach them the same stupid dream ... )

You can continue to write nonsense sentence as "Chinese stuff is bad" but this is just a general thought without any reality, the point is that Chinese can make any kind of device with every quality level. (best CPU are designed in USA or other country but probably produced here and Chinese are starting with their CPU as well )

It is obvious that a device that cost the double is better somehow but the question is 2 times better ? or I'm paying a brand and getting 10% of enhancement ?

Take care that also Apple (the most expensive brand) play games to they customer "programming" their device to break just before the warranty expires ...

say that enjoy live :)

p.s.

(sorry for my bad English)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k3lcior:
1 word, quality control. In chinese models there is second to none, this is what you mostly pay for.

"Made in China" is not the same as "Designed & Made in China."

Also, and probably the most important here on XDA - lack of developer support.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] postadelmaga:
But they don't really need to do many "Design Study" they just have to copy it :P

About "developer support" I have to complain XDA dev. community:

- it is very difficult to find info for phone/tab that are not Samsung/Sony or other Big Brand ... while for cheap phone people has to relay on other forums .
