V, what screen locker are you using?

And the unlock thing, is it WidgetLocker ? How do you make it like this ? can you put skins for unlock pattern (the password replacement) too ?

It's widget locker, yes. It lets you add widgets, shortcut apps, change wallpaper and stuff of the lockscreen. So it's widget locker + bob clock widget(the clock) + gTab Simi Clock(the battery widget only) + a custom slider.

I know bro. The only way to solve that problem is to root the phone, install a ROM that has A2SD+, and partition your SD card to have an ext3/ext4 partition. How big is your SD card?

Not that much, since I use iPod for music (with about 60 Gb music in it ) I didn't need much space in my phone. it came with a 4 Gb SD card and I didn't change it.

Sensation is a great phone. But in terms of modding and rooting, it has a locked bootloader, so modding it will be pretty difficult.

If you don't care about modding it, then get it. Amazing phone.

I have no clue what any of that means, Sheik. Honestly I wanted the Desire HD but I saw some issues with it namely with its battery life and it doesn't seem to run all that smoothly so I'm hoping the Sensation is similar with improvement in those areas.

The Sensation has a more powerful processor so it will obviously run smoother. It even has a more polished yet more fancy interface. About the battery life, just don't bother, there isn't any smart phone out there that has a decent battery life no matter what the reviews say.

I have widget locker but I don't see this unlocking slider in my options, how do you add sliders?

First you need custom sliders. Ton of them here.When you get the files put them in the data folder on the SD, inside there is a folder com.teslacoil.widgetlocker, inside of that a themes folder. Don't extract the files or anything, just put them them the way they are inside that themes folder.

Then open WL from the app drawer. Key is to know you can't edit the lockscreen while the phone is locked, you need to unlock it and open the app from the app drawer. Editing is easy; if you wanna remove a slider you need to long press the space between the two slider options and drag it to the bin. Adding is easy, long press on the screen and add custom slider or widget or anything. Everything should be straightforward from then.

I know how to change sliders, I have four boring ones. Where do you find these tons of sliders?

Marty should really make hyperlinks another color. Click the word "here" in my previous post.

Indeed.

Got a bigger SD card, now I can use all the A2SD+ goodness.

Make sure the ext3 partition comes AFTER the FAT32 partition, and keep it at about 1gb.

Went by the store today, looked at some Androids. Didn't like the Samsung Galaxy S too much, seemed kind of unresponsive to the touch. HTC Incredible S has a nice feel to it though.

You're looking to replace your Wildfire?

Yup did that. Now all I have to do is get a ROM which supports A2SD+ and flash it the same way I used to?

Not sure yet. Might do it in the coming months.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Cool.

Yup. Just make sure the ROM supports ext3 FS. Most of them should.

Okay, now since the sd card I've now is a new one, is there something I should be doing before I do any of the flashing stuff? Like formatting it using the phone?

That's not necessary if you're already formatted it from Ubuntu or something. All you need is a FAT32 and an ext3 partition.

So the lagging of my phone will go away with rooting?
