I've been using GoLauncher with the Classic theme, and I fell in love with it. Seriously, this launcher is just perfect. All it needs is to be optimized with some screen transitions and maybe some specialty widgets.

Also, if you don't like Stevie, I'll call you sir Steven.

EDIT: OH AWESOME! http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/2011/02/15/version-2-10-announcement-in-advance/

That's great news!

Theme please.....??

By music control, we are talking about how if you use Music Mod or even on a Stock Blur ROM, the Lock Screen shows you controls for the music player meaning whatever audio player you are using doesn't need to have a separate lock screen set.

I am using the stock player and lock screen and I have the music controls. I am able to pause or play the music and switch songs from the lock screen. Are you talking about other controls?

My friend I wish I knew how to make a theme. I'm tryin' to learn as fast as I can. Figured out how to change the VERIZON WIRELESS nonsense on my lock screen in 5 minutes after I spent 6 hours just trying to get HxD, 7zip and SDK/AVD manager to work.

So....Props to FAB for the Nexus S live wallpaper, JRummy16 for the OC widget, and whoever gave me those icon packs and Notification icons at Droidpirate.com;you will need Metamorph and Bettercut.

Edit:Oh yeah ExtendedControls and BeutifulWidgets

All transparent

Same for me, except when I'm using the new (leaked) Music mod I have no lockscreen music controls.

Dude what happened did you jack up the connection with the battery manager to the battery because this battery life is rediculous! I'm stunned! I've been at 90% since 1:30pm yesterday. It's now 8:42am the following day. I've done some websurfing, app store browsing. Messed with overclocking and had 4 phone calls. Along with some benchmarking. Crazy!

Yes. He has only programmed the applications he has in the Toolbox to work with the controls.

No.

I apparently can't explain myself on the forum. I'm talking about a universal control API that is in Liberty. Any music player can take advantage of the controls on the lock screen in Liberty. However, in Apex, only Music Mod or the other 2 media players in the Toolbox will work with the lock screen. Nothing else works with it. I'm asking/requesting that Fab looks into that universal API that Liberty has used or at least ask them how they got their music controls to work how they did. Honestly, it was perfect. I was able to actually use the application I wanted to instead of resorting to a default one.

That doesn't sound right; I've been playing with my phone a decent amount, and I lose 10% every few hours. I think your battery's calibration is out of whack, or it's stuck.

Looks like you'll need to wipe your batter stats. Do this ONLY after your phone has been charged fully overnight to ensure the battery is at 100%.

Go into ClockworkMod Recovery. Go to advanced > Wipe Battery Stats and go ahead with the battery stats wipe.

If it freezes after it reboots, do a battery pull to reset the phone.

dgdave · Feb 17, 2011

This is THE Rom. It has all the tweeks I want and none that I don't. No lag, no reboots, just enough blur, crazy fast. Battery life is decent, but not the best. Still not a complaint. I lu bugger is the damn zoom buttons in the browser.

jtpdx · Feb 17, 2011

I went into 'SpareParts' and tried changing overall font size but it keeps reverting back to normal. Anyone else have issues with this?

BuTbKa · Feb 17, 2011

I still have random reboots with system FC after reboot..

As far as I know, changing the font size from the SpareParts app only changes the font within that app.

jtpdx · Feb 17, 2011

Hmm i see, i guess that is no use then

Same thing happened to me until I did a fresh install and wiped data and cache. I was on 1.4 RC2. I had to clear that o.ut. You may wanna do a fresh sbf.

I'm not quite sure I understand, but you can switch to the Blur browser now that Fab has updated the toolbox. With the blur version there's no plus/minus buttons. I swapped out browsers the hard way.

Where do you change browsers in the toolbox?

Option 1 -> Option 2

I tried to do this as well because I'd love for the font size of the various menus to be a bit smaller (a lot smaller actually). Is there another way to do this?

Hey Fab (or anyone else), any ideas why me modifying the build.prop would mess up the dialer from opening up? When I open the Dialer it closes right away and my antenna disconnects for a couple seconds.

All I changed was the lcd density.

Since your question was already answered, I'll skip that part. I had the same problem and was recommended to try dialer one. It works with the lcd density mod.

Stevessvt · Feb 17, 2011

Maybe this was talked about before, but Im having a problem of when a call comes in and the phone is locked, I slide to answer and it defaults to speaker phone. How to fix this?

Stevessvt · Feb 17, 2011

Actually, I might be off here, I think I made a connection between this happening and Yahoo chat with video chatting.

ROM featured on droid life again! congrats fab!
