locking app - myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games

Hi,
I just got my Magic last night. Are there any alternative locking apps ala S2U2 or something for it?

Lock2.0 on the Android Market

Is this worth the $1.99. How customizable is this program?

There is a free version as well. The only difference between the free and paid is that the paid version has the function of downloading skins and unlock sounds directly from the app.
You can try it out to see if it is customisable enough for you.

lock2.wordpress.com is the official site. they always posting up new themes/skins. the app isnt worth it in my opinion, its buggy and uses a lot of resources. plus it isnt a real security program. more about the looks if thats what u want.
here one skin they have
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Also there is rotate unlock.
Problem I have with both these apps that airplane mode doesn`t work anymore. It disables the standard lock, which also ensures you can enter your pin..
The slide unlock looks pretty good and reacts quite fast.
The rotate unlock is something else, but it works quite well. But using it I cannot drag down my status bar and the search button stop working.
So I am still looking for something that doesn`t cripple the phone while looking good .

Hiding items on today screen when in landscape??

Basically the message subject says it all... I have a bunch of things in the today screen but when I slide open the phone I want some to be hidden so there is no scrollbar on the side (really annoying)....
Is this possible and if so how do I do it??
Thanks.

You probably have large start menu installed.
Heres an image of what I am talking about.... I dont think its the start menu because when I am in landscape the start menu automatically creates a section called "more..." for the items that dont fit.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think this may have something to do with the Quick launcher which has 5 icons for my pictures, task launcher, camera, music and phone.... this cant be seen in the image but is there a way to hide this program in landscape???? I dont see any options for this.
Thanks.
ADDITION: I was able to make this somewhat more tolerable by un-docking the HTC home plugin... still wish there was no scrolling though.

Today plugin with memory, battery etc large gauges - Whats it called?

Used the app a year or so ago, but now cant find it or remember what it is called, which makes searching somewhat hard! Anyone?
See if anything here and look under Today here
Hope you find it.
I think it was part of another app, spb/ilauncher etc but ive checked both of those.
If you are sure it is not iLauncher or PocketPlus....maybe it is BatteryPack Pro (I think that is what it is called), from OmegaOne.
There is nice one being developed here called BatteryStatus. You can skin it as well. Here are the links for the prog...and some skins:

Its called metrix

Sorry guys i should probably have been more specific when i said gauges. They were like the rev/speedo on a car, had a needle and large (ie 50px) bezels with the info. Starting to think i dreamt it! Have been looking everywhere! I guess it could have been a skinned version of one of the above programs, but i really think i just installed it and thats how it came out of the box
Resco File Explorer has a Today plug-in that may be what you are looking for.

Good luck in your search.

Big fan of this app. Developer is awesome. My dash lights are out so it is a must for me, but would be cool for anyone who would like their speed digital on their windshield.
Actually is amazingly accurate. I asked the developer to put the speed in your notification bar, so now when I use google nav it shows my speed also.
What do you guys think?
200+ views... I hope someone d.loaded and took a look at the app. Anyone else have it? Any thoughts for changes? The developer is very open to suggestions so I would like to know what you guys see should be changed also.

Why dont you just press back+Home

Cause in some apps it uses the back function of the key before screenshot is taken....
For example if you use Opera Mobile, then it will go back a page instantly when I tap the back key to take a screenshot....
Even happens with WhatsApp messenger....
It goes back to the contact list of WhatsApp when I try to take screenshot of a chat....

I've used Screen Capture Shortcut for years on my Samsung Captivate, but now the market says it's incompatible with my device. Maybe because I rooted?

Quite possible.
Mainly, it does not work with Cyanogen Mod.
Screenshot it

Can't get hole punch notification light to work?

The stock EdgeLighting and I downloaded EdgeLighting+ and I still cannot get the camera hole punch notification light to work on either the outer or inner screens. I assume the correct option would be "Eclipse" but when I press it nothing happens?

I'm using Always On Edge from the Play Store.
I've used it on past few galaxy models and it works really well, minimal impact to battery life.
Settings can be a bit tricky but it's easy enough to work out. I've raised a few issues with the dev and he always responds and sorts it really quickly. At the minute I can only get it working on either the front or inside screen, not both at the same time due to the camera placement. I've contacted dev to see if that would be something he could implement.
Use the app called Aod Notify. Perfect app.
