[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jselden:
I know that the lock screens can be replaced with AOSP. But what I have been looking around for is the option to use the stock puzzle lock and remove glass lock with AOSP.

I know I can always use an app like widget locker but would prefer it to be a system change instead of an app that runs.

All of the lock screen edits I have seen so far completely replace the Puzzle/Glass lock. But not replace just one of them.

If anyone knows how I can do this myself or get me started to be able to do this I am up for the challenge. Or if it already exists please point me in the right direction. I have done a lot of reading and searching already.

Thank you in advance.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Irishpride:
I would be interested in knowing this as well. I wouldn't mind having the AOSP lock, but would definitely want to keep the puzzle.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
It is possible to make edits to have the system offer multiple lockscreens...however its a pretty involved string of edits....I know thatdudebutch has/is trying it....but its significantly more involved than our normal method of switching them
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jselden:
Wonder if i could just start with modifying the images to be the same as the AOSP lock screen. test and then go from there. i am going to take a look tonight if i can and see what is involved with it. Thanks for the info nitsuj17.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
the images are all in the framework. Thats not the issue. However edits have to be made to the android.policy.jar to switch lockscreens and id assume to support multiple ones as well as edits the framework itself.

a few people in irc are attempting to do something like this, as it is possible...just we've all been unsuccessful to this point.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jselden:
i was doing some research and found a user had done this on his vibrant. I found the post on the team whiskey forums. Would it help to look over his code to see what was modified or would his android.policy.jar be completely different cause it is technically a different phone?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
the edits are usually the same, but occasionally in different places....you would have to compare apples to apples so you d need an edited android.policy.jar and a stock one from the rom
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jselden:
ok cool. i downloaded his theme/rom and will try to compare. I am not very familiar with modifying .jar files so this will be new ground for me. I know about editing the images in the framework file, thats the simple part.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] notta:
This would be a nice option, I actually started on this back on DJ09. Then froyo came and I started again on that. My goal was to offer the puzzle lock, android lock, rotary lock and the glass lock.

Actually some of those changes were slowly being made to the NeonGT theme port. I believe both the dl09 and dl30 versions. I don't remember how far I got, but feel free to pull the files and take a look.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] exnihilo:
posting in support of this concept! I like the puzzle lock but not the glass screen
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] firlou:
it would be nice indeed
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sbrissen:
How about keeping both and adding 2 more? :-)

I have an idea i would like to share with everyone.. and in fact this very post is the first action i am taking toward making this idea a reality. I am starting a post for teaching, for helping people understand the basic rules behind the fascinate. IF this works well it can then be applied XDA wide. I need everyone possible to contribute to this post. Your job is to keep returning here and teaching me by answering questions.. My job is to over analyze and repost questions..

the biggest reason i am doing this is because nothing on these forums is linear. by that i mean their is no start and end or set direction to help new people get a general understanding in this community. I myself look for answers to to a question among the vasts posts, and instead of answering my initial question i pose 10 more questions to myself.. i then Google some things.. get lost in tabs.. and post dumb questions that flamers are just waiting to jump on.

i will make this OP a living post.. i will continually edit it adding definitions, generalizations and basic rules i gather from your replies and our discussions.

SO, to start this out. i would like to have people post small things you have noticed that help a large amount of people, things that newbies question the most and things people should know in general to understand some of the language the more adept people use.
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
ps.. im not talking about the newbies that dont bother to read the beginner sticky
[Fascinate General] soba49:
If you want to flash froyo, you should flash jt1134's latest clockwork patch first. CWR is badly broken under froyo, and using fallingup's guide won't give you a useful recovery after DL09.

Most voodoo problems can be resolved by flashing a full odin recovery. Still, don't install voodoo unless you know why you want it. Some good reasons are a lot of file system lag like from massive email syncing etc. and kaos's CM alpha only world under voodoo kernels.

Actually the full recovery images fix most problems you can run into. Because of their usefulness and size, hosting them is burdensome - consider donating to the hoster out at least using a torrent if available.

You can use heimdall instead of odin. NEVER touch the [phone] button in the Odin user interface. If a flash fails, flash again - no point in rebooting a bad flash.

Manually rooting isn't very difficult. Do it at least once.

Learn the definitions of: kernel, modem/baseband/radio, and rom. Learn the difference between CWM and Odin, and how "flashing" works in each. I like to use the word install with zip roms and when using CWR in general to limit confusion, but both are capable of flashing images to your Fascinate's internal memory partitions.

Be comfortable with getting into both recovery and download mode before modifying your phone ib any way. Backup via nandroid and keep a folder of odin images on your computer and keep track of install.zips on your phone.

Watch out for update.zip getting overwritten, this should typically be clockwork recovery which installs temporarily to a RAM disk and then runs.

Be polite when posting, flames always generate a mess of useless posts.

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Know where to post. If you aren't actively developing something for the Fascinate, don't post a new thread in the development section. Even if you think your post is related to development, it most likely isn't, and belongs in the general section.
[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
Read on voodoo before you actually install it. Like, study how to install, the benefits, how to disable and uninstall, and what to and not to flash with voodoo installed.

Don't feed the trolls, and feel free to ask questions, hopefully in the correct thread and/or section.

DONT FLASH STUFF FROM OTHER PHONES OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!

So I'm a total noob when it coes to this, but I managed to get the 2.2 onto the phone and it rooted. (I checked with titanium backup) I ran a benchmark and its still saying im in the 900 range.. Any suggestions or answers to speed it up a little?? Please and thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yentlequible:
Benchmarks are not reliable at all in determining real world performance. Just because it says a lower number doesn't mean it is slower. If the phone feels fast then that is really all that matters, and with the captivate, you already have one of the fastest phones on the market.

If you really want that number raised, make sure you have a lagfix active. My captivate gets around 1500 on designgears 2.2 cognition rom with voodoo lagfix. On 2.1 cognition, I was getting 2300+ in quadrant, but my phone was much slower overall. Reliable? I think not...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thatguysteve:
Ya, a custom	ROM with a kernel that has lagfix (i think all of them do) is really the best way.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
Hey guys, ive made myself some custom icons as i wasn't really happy with what was out there. Ive set them up with Desktop Visualizer so they are bigger.

If anyone else is interested id be happy to upload them and share them to the community.

im also in the process of making a hancent theme to match, and the app market

If anyone does end up wanting them and you need a icon i'll make it for you, only if you request it like this

Application name

[image/link to icon]

Colour you would like (if other colours end up being made)

So i guess this is my contribution to the community lol :)

My home screen setup with them

Actual size of icons in .psd, so you can have them pretty big on the homescreen if you want.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
INSTRUCTIONS

You'll need

- Home Screen replacement adwEX / Launcher Pro ect... ( I use adwEX so ive only tested on that)

- Home screen setup to 10x10

- Desktop Visualizer + config tool (both free in market)

- Folder Organizer (optional)

First setup your home screen to 10x10 and install DVR

Copy all the .pngs to the dvr folder on your sd card

Long Press the home screen and create a dvr config widget, place it in the top left corner and tap on it, set it to 10x10, exit out. Move it to the bottom right tap on it. It will confirm itself. You can delete that widget off the home screen now.

Long Press the home screen and create a DVR widget 2x1 for the size on my home screen or resize the widget 4x2 to have it double the size, or 8x4 for a HUGE one.

Tap on the widget to set it up, under "icon" select image and navigate to the dvr folder and image of choice.

Under action you can choose what you want the widget todo, ie; Launcher an app.

Leave the label blank, and touch effect to whatever colour you like. (im using blue)

When you are done, tap OK and your new icon/widget will be set up.

If you have folder organizer you can setup the app draw icon to link to the app folder via "other/folder organizer link/applications" in the DVR action menu. ( its how i have it setup)

I've done the DVR config, set ADW EX to 10x10 then set the Widgets up to 2x1 but the icons are too big to fit 5 in a column. Any ideas where I've gone wrong?

Edit: fixed this by enabling 'auto stretch wifgets' in ADW settings :)

Also, where do we need to put fonts for Minimalist Widgets to be able to use it?

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] leus_phress:
Well so far I've tried ADWLauncher Ex, ADW.Launcher, Launcher Pro and GO Launcher EX.

So far GO Launcher EX is the only one that at least works for almost a minute, before the Tab reboots and is stuck (started through the finished installation notification).

Pressing the home button does nothing except vibrating sometimes.

Hi,

Anyone tried DLNA functions (media streaming and servers) using stock HTC sense connected media app and with windows 7 media player on android revolution HD 2.0.10 ROM ?

I can't remember the last time it worked for me whether it was with the stock HTC or this rom i have now (Android Revolution HD 2.0.10 costum ROM) ? but today i cant seem to get it to work using 2 different PCs though .

[Nook Color General] mazook98:
Today I discovered, on my own, that you can make a few things work easier without using ADB..since I'm not really well versed in linux , and since I already had a "working" v3 rooted copy of HC on an sd card, and have been tinkering with that for a few days, didn't want to"start over". A) That a class 10 patriot 8g works perfectly and that the best way to format it is with the winpart.exe program that is in the windows directory (system32) of a pc. B) that if you use Easus to "stretch"the last partition of the card after the image of honeycomb (the 'sd ext'), you can use ALL that space for apps to sd. C) the 3 most important files to have, initially, while getting gapps to work, are Dropbox, Root Explorer, and Cache cleaner. D) There is an easter egg for HC, just where the GB one was. E) gapps WILL work flawlessly with HC, you just need to have every trace of it (I used search under root explorer to be sure) wiped before you try to put on a "working version". There is a thread about using adb to get working mkt,etc...near the end of that thread there is a copy of 3 apks that worked great for me. F) There is a "vm cache" root user app on the mkt that I used to increase dalvik cache to 32, and all the things that didn't work before, now do (ex: Kindle, all the 'bigass' games) G) If you need to use aptoide before you get the vm cache adjusted, an older version works. H) DROPBOX!!.....hope this helps someone that is just using hc on sd card. Thanks, dblue for making this all happen.
