Don't know if this has been discussed, but it would be pretty cool!
If you root and install CM7, the feature is coming soon. Should be coming in a nightly release in the not too distant future.
Btw, other ROMs may claim to have this feature first, but the code is "stolen" from CM devs. The version they have is buggy and unstable according to the CM code review site.

I would love to have this feature. I switch wallpapers all the time.
On another note, I can't wait for CM7! They seem to be makin good progress with it, hopefully we have it soon.
You can try Widgetlocker as well. Not sure if there is a free alternative out there.
I just tried widget locker. Its almost what I'm lookin for, but won't let me choose live wallpapers, I can only choose from gallery.(now I'm getting picky, I know)
um to change your background of the lockscreen is really easy... change your phones' wallpaper.....
unless you want a independent one from the wallypaper? I would assume thats what your poking at>

I think you missed the topic of this thread....
HTC Vision (G2) - CM7 RC1 B11 (B4 GPS)
Yes exactly what I'm trying to do. Widget locker worked the best but won't let me run live wallpaper for lockscreen.

hi guyz .. i just saw this post today surfacing on the top of our forum...here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785645
since the clock is ripped is it possible for this sense flipping clock to be ported to our samsung galaxy s????
Omg pleeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeee
I doubt it...... you need sense and it's a little limited and convoluted.
Why not just install something like Fancy Widget or Weather Widget?

i have been using fancy widget for a long while now.. i agree there is not much difference ..... but we are here to get the best and the most for our devices... if we start being satisfied in everything then this world would come to an end ..
satisfied-----> no development

i can agree to that expect the last part
it's actually quite comfortable pace and quiet, until some one stirs up the water again.
specially all those false alarms at bugs and problems some make it out to be a big deal when it's just a tiny issue.
Now back on topic, I do like Fancy Widget better, is nicer cooler, softer, and those touch spots are configurable as a soft menu to launch apps, which is perfect !
You need the htc framework to support their widgets.
Alternative ?
- Well considering the "scrolling/animated widget" is open source (by koxx if i recall), someone with experience in java/time on their hands could come up with such a widget.

Agreed on the framework, that's why I mentioned Sense being needed.
As to someone else creating a widget, whatever they create they would have to be very careful as other widget developers have had to either terminate their widget or alter so as not to infringe HTC's patent.
in order to install this last version of Htc Clock (from sense 1.6 of desire hd) you need to flash the up.zip on a SENSE rom, if u read the entire post he explains how... bye
ive seen alot of people with custom lockscreens like having a different picture on their lockscreen than the one on their homescreen. and some have widgets like typoclock.

WidgeLocker from the market. Excellent highly customizable lockscreen app. Plus there is a whole thread on it with custom locks and such... Only thing is, it's not free.

I got rid of widget locker on my N1...Too buggy and slow for me
Being able to put the Handcent widget on the lock screen is worth the price of the app alone. I'm not a fan of the popup.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
thats the only solution....?
Widget Locker.
You can get a *Pirated* version to do some testing...
At first I didn't like it much & didn't think it justified the cost, but it's great to have all your Go To Apps right on the Lock Screen along with the customization...
Once you purchase the App you get a lot more options & a much stabler build... Highly recommended.
I guess I haven't figured it out. Ijust purchased widget Locker, and it's pretty cool, but I can't get it to overwrite my actual lock screen setup.
Right now I slide the unlock slider, and that takes me to the phone's unlock slider, to then enter pswrd. Any way to go from widgetlocker straight to pw?
OP dude how the heck have you had so many phones...4 iPhones??? LOL
I tried it out on CM 6.1 and it was glitchy as hell .

hahahah, if you really love phones like i do, you find ways to get new ones every so often. i like to trade a lot on craigslist. you can really get some killer deals. traded my iPhone 3gs for my brand new g2. best. deal. ever.
so is there no way to set a different wallpaper for lock screen and home screen?
well so far i dont see any other app that allows u to do what widget locker does. Wish their was a trial version of this aswell but i took the leap and bought it and i was not disappointed at all. Its not that buggy at all on the g2 as long as u dont lock it and unlock really fast... than the screen flashes with the lock but thats the only problem i have so far. I havnt even modded my widget locker till i looked into this post! and WOW i love it even more now. i dont remeber how much i paid for the app but.. worth it def.!
I have been looking for a clock that is like the stock sense one that has alarms and timer and stop watch all included haven't been able to find one for a AOSP rom would like to find a sense based clock that works with AOSP rom that has all the goodies with it. Only thing thats stopping me from wanting to use a AOSP rom all the time. I like the senseless roms but its a pain to find something that may work until it boot loops sucks. Anyone know of any i have checked out the clock forums on here but all they seem to be is fancy clock widgets. So can anyone point me into the right direction. Thanks I am pretty familiar with APK files..

I'm using the Weather & Toggle widget on my hero and using it asa my EVO comes in. It's almost exactly like the stock one and there's skin downloads to match it exactly. I paid for mine because it's worth the couple bux bud, seriously. I don't buy many apps, just help out the devs but this one was a no brainer for AOSP roms.

Ya i am likeing cm7 tho the keyboard sucks its a pain to use. The clocks out there are not as good sense based one. Hope someone can fix that. The roms to have dried up not to many people are making anything new. I like evo based roms not ports. If your really want a port go get the phone in my opinion. Im like konies rom elite 3 battery life isnt good on stock kernel the clock doesnt suit me trying to replace it.

Sense replacements
I am on ASOP now and have really missed a lot of Sense stuff since switching to Cyanogen 6 a few months ago.
I have used a number of stopwatch apps and don't really like any of them.
I am using TouchPal, beacuse I don't like the stock dialer, but am not crazy about TouchPal.
I am using SwiftKey as a keyboard, which I do really like a lot.
I use Beautiful Widget's: Super Clock. Its the best thing next to sense. Plus you can change up the skins faster than you do your socks!
Also I use Swift Keyboard. It looks similar to the touch input plus its crazy convenient!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Ehh, I just want the time and an alarm lol. W&T widget defaults to the stock clock, which has an alarm so that's cool. The KB is garbage though you're right. Many months ago when I was on Sense roms with my Hero I was using the AOSP-voice keyboard but now I'm on Better Keyboard 8. My EVO should be in tomorrow and I'm guessing that just the meire size of the phone should make ANY keyboard easier to use lol. The Hero landscape is just a little too small for my big fingers.

Check out HD Widgets. It's on app store for a small amount but is well worth it and it looks great. It has lots of clock widget sizes and styles, with or without weather and is highly customisable.

if so, what apk did you use? does it FC on you all the time?
Its called Liquid Villian find it in the Dev section.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
I don't have experience with it, but this was the only thread I was able to find on XDA through search (that had any sort of recent replies). Did a search in the thread so I wouldn't have to read through the 10 pages and it doesn't seem like there was anyone reporting in from the G2/Desire Z camp to give success or failure stories, so you'll have to test it out for yourself.
The only other alternative I can think of right now is mentioned by joe3681 above me in the Liquid Villain thread. I flashed the rom when it was first released and gave it a couple of minutes, but it was a drastic change and I missed the features/familiarity of CM7, so I went back. It definitely isn't CM7 if that's what you're looking to keep, but if the launcher is something that's really that important to you, then this may be your only option. The dev doesn't seem to be actively providing updates to it as it seems stable/nothing to update, but a gingerbread port does seem to be in the works/planned.
It should also be noted that there is now an option in CM7 to have the status/notification bar at the bottom (under tablet options in CM settings). This might give you a slight compromise.
Hope I helped a little bit.

yea it does say not installed if you try to use the apk to install it. im guessing there is a compatibility issue
Launchers aren't typically listed in the app drawer. Once it's installed, push the home softkey and it will ask you what you want to use to complete the action. Set it to use the launcher of your choice as default. The same goes for ADW, LauncherPro, Go Launcher, and more I'm sure. Go Launcher does have an icon I believe though.
Or are you saying that the apk fails to install altogether?
Yes I am saying it does not install at all

PreludeDrew, Kush Deck or JaredTheGreat? Wondering what people are running out of the three ICS roms.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I installed Team Blaze's (Jared) newest ICS last night and was running Drew's prior to. I would say at this point they are almost the same... each one is making improvements... As for my experience... Jared's is solid and I haven't ran into anything broken. There are some things a little buggy (like TTS errors when opening Navigation, but TTS working just fine) but I haven't found anything broken. They are all working on making the camera better and it works on Jareds. These aren't final releases so I am good with what I have! Can't wait until these things get smoothed out as ICS is tight.
Jared The Great all the way baby.
ICS Question
I have been following these ROMS.
At least on the home screen they appear to be still pretty buggy.
I don't know if the MMS is working, the camera, all that stuff.
Just curious if someone can tell me what I need to expect after installing.
I am currently using Synergy non-god mode and hate it. It is SO LAGGY. It takes a good 15 seconds to get the icons to populate my home screen. I need a new rom and was wondering if these were worth switching too.
Thanks all.

Switch to MIUI. It is the fastest, most customizeable rom out there.
You may not like the no app drawer thing. But i just made a folder and put all the apps not on my screen in there. Now thats my app drawer!

He was asking about ICS not MIUI if I'm reading the first post correctly. MIUI fanboys are as bad as apple fanboys...
I'm running Deck's alpha 5 and it's really solid. Trebuchet is buggy but that's a known issue and the solution is to run Nova instead. It's definitely worth flashing an ICS ROM to get a feel for how they are.

I have run both Jared's and Drew's. Both solid build... both buggy as hell. They are still working on them. To be honest... the best one right now will probably be the one with the latest release.
Decks Alpha 5 for me with CoD tweaks. I haven't tried any of the other ones but this one is rock solid for me. There are quirks but any rom has those. Honestly I have better battery life on this then I ever have had before.

Uh yeah i know wut he was asking..i can read too. But ics isnt that great. Its gb with a theme and add that quick app thingy.
MIUI is actually different in looks as well as useability. And Im not a fanboy. It just is the best all around rom. Alot of people dont like the iphone like no app drawer as do i. But once u have one in miui it is by far the best rom available. For sure it is the least laggiest evo rom. And by the way these are facts. And if u disagree u must be a ics fanboy or just a straight up MIUI hater. Bu bye!

Gentlemen, best is predetermined to be biased upon your own preferences; there is no right answer here. Yes, ICS does have some nice features, like improved voice commands, better folder management, ect. And for MIUI yes it is a lil 'iphone' like in essence, but different from all the rest. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you change the launcher, you fix the 'no app drawer' issue, which some people tend not to like.

Yea ur right. There is no right answer. I was just telling the guy on synergy that was laggy. That miui has no lag. And that other guy starts saying im a fanboy, thinking im referring to the OP. When i clearly quoted who i was replying to, and it got me in a **** talking mood. Sorry..my bad
And yea u can install a different launcher, but it takes away the uniform of MIUI, so i just made me a folder on the dock and put all the apps not on my screen in it
