The widgets you see are the only ones available right now other widgets will be released by other developers.

That would be flipping amazing. I think I might dive into the SDK today and see what I can do.

This is a weird situation actually. With SmartScreen on, I am still getting my slider theme to work, but my wallpaper is now my custom boot logo for the phone.... Not sure what is going on here.

when i first saw the demo on this it looked much more promising on release. oh well ill try it anyways.

**c.e.p** · 11-21-2009, 02:58 PM

bought this last night, and it works with ease. No problems at all

**knguyen** · 11-21-2009, 02:58 PM

idk how this compares to Lockinfo, but Lockinfo drains a lot of power.

**sonyman74** · 11-21-2009, 03:46 PM

How do you get it off military time.

**metaserph** · 11-21-2009, 03:48 PM

I have both Intlliscreen and LockInfo. Neither of them drains much power for me. Maybe you have several background processes running. But in general it would seem to me that frameworks that interact with existing apps are more efficient than frameworks that replicate existing apps, like notes, calculator, weather, calendar widgets etc. These are "live, always on" versions of existing apps that only use cpu and baterry while they are on, only when used. Just my thoughts...

**gggguest** · 11-21-2009, 03:49 PM

I was able to get a free activation code from the developers yesterday. Was excited after playing with it for a while, but now I'm pretty freaking disappointed.

At the moment, there's only 4 (FOUR!) widgets. All these other ones that developers are making are probably going to cost money (the developer of TwitFeed and the weather one is charging).

So, take $5, and add more money for the widgets. Real ******** if you ask me...

The only lock screen mod that I like is LockInfo. It's neatly organized, doesn't slow things down, and has a great developer. SmartScreen sucks, QuickBrowse sucks, Cydget sucks, and IntelliScreen sucks. LockInfo FTW.

**tudtran** · 11-21-2009, 04:28 PM

That is a cool app.

**bbillh77** · 11-21-2009, 04:31 PM

I will wait a week then try it

**fleadog99** · 11-21-2009, 04:31 PM

Imagine that, programmers who want paid for the work they do.

In my experience on my 3G, LockInfo tends to lag often. takes awhile for my slider to even respond as it loads.

With SmartScreen, although limited to, well, jack squat right now, I receive none of this lag that LockInfo had been giving. Given, LockInfo at this point is loading a lot more information than SmartScreen is at the moment.

Nonetheless, I also see NO extra battery or memory usage while im not at the lock screen.

Hands down, SmartScreen loads and responds faster than LockInfo on my 3GS. With no other background processes except Phone and Mail.

I think we just have to be patient for new widgets to appear. I've downloaded the SDK and will take a look tonight myself, but I wouldn't expect payment for these widgets, nor would I pay for them. That news is rediculous

**klouud** · 11-21-2009, 05:27 PM

There are quite a few widgets listed on the official site, but only 4 available in Cydia... am I missing something?

Unfortunately the widgets on their website are from other developers. These have not been released yet, but I imagine these developers will be doing so quite quickly.

In the mean time, for the savvy, they have released an SDK for the community to build their own widgets for SmartScreen.

**xerray** · 11-21-2009, 05:47 PM

where do you buy this?

**chrisrotolo** · 11-21-2009, 05:55 PM

anyone??? (echo) will we ever see a video lockscreen again?
I know people will say it sucks and is choppy and etc.
but I think it was cool

I dont know how you would have all your info at the same time though, maybe after the brief video it goes to lockscreen with info, can it really be that difficult devs? havent seen it since 1.4??

anyone have any info on this please PM me thanks.
