Didn't see anything about this on here, so I thought I would let everyone know that flyscreen hit the market today. If you don't know what it is, the app is a locksreen replacement which boasts a number of useful widgets. It's free, so check it out.
well done app!
tweaks i'd personally like to see
1. accuweather edit to enable "current location" along with search city or zip
2. changeable wallpaper?
3. custom color for the bottom status bar.
4. it seems pressing menu OR home unlocks the app. maybe just keep it as only MENU unlocks?
5. would LOVE a fully-functional local music widget. even a streaming one. preferably last.fm
6. it's hard to double-tap to unlock the screen when on the calendar widget.
that's all for now. again great job!
Can't find it on the market. Can anyone upload a .apk for me please?
just downloaded and installed.....love it!

are you serious? just search the market for flyscreen
Anyone have any luck getting the Facebook widget? It says to go to www.myflyscreen.com when I try to add it, but there's not really any mention of it on the website.
EDIT: Nevermind, it turns out you have to login.
this seems legit!
I've tried it but I'm not a fan of flyscreen,
the feed summary stories are so short its not worth reading them and
it is hard to unlock.
I much prefer "buzz deck", kind of similar concept with the flicking between cards but it
works much better for the feeds.
but I guess if you use just the weather and messages widget then this is pretty good
i think it would be a lot better if the added a lock, something other then just pushing the menu button
I love it, but the stericson lock screen is still popping up occasionally... How do I completely remove stericson?
(Using CM 4.0.4)
its not on the market!!! I searched like 4 times and it cant find it.... wtf?

You can dl it from here
I like it ok...
But, I was under the impression I would be able to use widgets installed on my phone.
I can't - I have to use widgets that flyscreen has... And, their calendar widget is not interactive (can't open my calendar with it or see my appt's), there is no Gmail/Email widget, and I can't use my own weather widget instead of theirs.
Since I don't really want to use any widgets they have... It sorta makes the app pointless. If I wanted to use a widget they have I would have downloaded/installed it already!
I had this during the beta invite and liked it a lot then and the final revision is not dissapointing. I agree, custom backgrounds and missed call, sms etc. notifications are needed though.

any ideas on removing stericson lock?
Installed it. One of the best app on the market easily. Running weather, facebook and 2 custom RSS feeds. Its kinda laggy and slow. And it also it takes sometime to kick in when you wake the phone up. It shows the home screen for a sec before flyscreen lockscreen appears. This is the major issue. Can be fixed with further optisations. Minor annoyances are the wallpaper. Missed call register and music widget wont hurt either. But still, great app!
This app makes any rom awesomeness. If they can get all the social networks on this app, who needs blur? Has a lot of potential.
Been using the beta for quite some time, uninstalled because of slow performance...
the release version is much more stable, really happy with it all I want is to be able to install and create skins and wallpapers
Really nice concept. Good first release. However, like others have said:
1. Needs configurable wallpaper (my gf called me gay...she would know)
2. Causes great lag returning to homescreen, whereas before flyscreen, return was instant.
I'm a little thrown off by having to give my phone# on registration but I guess that just creates a unique username. Very cool idea, I wish I could customize the background and the alignment looks a little off on the bottom (not quite centered)
Very cool. I'm looking forward to more updates from this app!
when im using tw launcher everything is fine, then i when i try ADW or LP or any other i get this weird shadow behind widgets, mainly the ones that are PNG ( transparent of some sort) only in tw launcher it doesnt have it..
examples :
copy & paste this in search bar
h ttp://img202.imageshack.us/g/openhome.jpg/
first pic look at the bottom of open home, it has a weird shadow that goes all along the bottom bar., the rest of the pics in other launchers with the battery widget with this same problem.. this is just some examples, it does it with pretty much any other widget/ app
anyone know how i can fix this?
BTW:
- this doesn't happen if im using a LIVE wallpaper.
- im not rooted
- everything is STOCK
I don't see a way to do so on the one....maybe i'm missing something. Does anyone know?

HTC Launcher doesn't let you do that, you will need a 3rd party launcher.
I downloaded Nova Launcher from the Play Store. it will allow you to resize widgets
It depends on the widget but with the stock launcher when I added my calendar widget, I just held my finger on it, a blue border appeared and I stretched it to fill one of my screens.
Some widgets don't allow resizing by default and you need another launcher but ones like the calendar do.
Thank You Everyone
That kind of bums me out a bit... don't get me wrong i love some other launchers and stuff but i kind of like having my blinkfeed etc and keeping my phone like it currently is, just wish this was a function built in.....
As I am stuck on 4.2.2 at the moment I still can't use the native weather clock which I really like.
I have recreated it perfectly with the zooper pro widget.
Problem is on the location search i can type and find my town but the save button is not in view and it won't scroll so i can select it. I have found this on a few other apps. Is there another way to fix this.
P.S Im on Null07
looking for solution as well. because app was not designed to work in such low resolution/ppi, i think we need some sort of DPI settings like in paranoid android.
I've started utilizing Google Now quite a bit lately. And now I would really like to get back to using the Google Now launcher. However, It's still missing 2 key features in stock form. I'm looking to see if anyone has a solid work around for them, that doesn't hinder performance.
1) Change icon theme
2) Change icon size
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Icon changer on the playstore
Thanks, but it looks like it only changes/resizes the icon on the desktop and not the app drawer. Am I doing something wrong?
You can just drag icons out of app drawer first . you can't have it already there
