Widget Locker is probably the best
+1 to this. It's not free but it's well worth it. I was originally using Go Locker but had problems with it with the recent updates. Switched to this and it's far more customizable!

I was going to ask where you guys play all these games. I assumed it would be 'waiting for a bus/train' or 'waiting in the doctors office' or something along those lines, but if you're building things to hold controllers, I assume it's at home?
Don't you guys have PC's, Xbox's or PS3's?

Anyone else install the latest 'Beta' of VLC?
It's not a bad UI, quite smooth with video (plays most file formats I've thrown at it, just like the Desktop version) and Music sounds quite good!!..
There's no EQ, Widget or Lockscreen controls yet, but it seems a good start!!

Play anywhere, home, work, in the car while waiting for people. It's not hard carrying a controller in a backpack or messenger bag or glove box.

Yeah I reckon its more a "wow look what can be done" rather than "oh, I need this".
Ive bought some apps and only used it once... bought just cos it amazed me!

My HP server is running a few differnt servers and wondering if I ned a specific one or if I can just play from my shared folders?

I have a PC & Xbox
But I can't carry those around with me to play games
The consoles weren't so bad nor the collapsible picnic table and chair it was the plasma screen that caused me the problems, I thought I'd get used to it, I took the lot to work a few times but it was too much for me, in the end I had to admit defeat
plus the set up time was ridiculous, 40 min once in the Dr's waiting room but that was all the morons shouting at me and getting in the way coupled with me having Flu!
All I can say is thank God for mrk for showing me a slightly easier method of otg gaming with decent controls!

Hey guys I just noticed something with the Auto rotation on my SGS2. With Apex Launcher and with TW Launcher, the home screen, app drawer and pull down notification screen don't rotate to landscape. But they do with Go Launcher. Is that the same for you? How about if I try Nova, does that rotate ok? In the car, I put the phone in it's cradle in landscape position, so it's a bit of a pity those 3 screens don't rotate.
Also, exDialer doesn't rotate. But that has nothing to do with the launchers as it doesn't rotate even in Go Launcher. Seems odd that it won't rotate.

Apex settings > behavior settings > screen orientation

Nova also has a similar setting if anyone was wondering!
Settings --> Look and Feel --> Screen Orientation:
-Default (normally locked)
-Auto rotate
-Force Portrait
-Force Landscape

Doh! Thanks, I didn't see that setting.
Works fine now. But in TW Launcher (not that I need to use TW) auto rotate screen is ticked in settings but it doesn't rotate those same screens I mentioned.
Soldato
I have yeah. I've got 'Auto rotation' enabled in the pull down notification screen, I've got 'Motion Activation' ticked in Motion, and I've got 'Auto-rotate screen' ticked in Display. I take it there's no other TW Launcher menu I'm meant to go into? When I switch launchers to TW, I just use the default system settings of the phone.
Soldato
Ah, but I thought that's what I was doing? When I've switched to TW launcher, I press the left bottom capacitive button, it brings up a grey rectangular box with Add, Wallpaper, Search, Notifications, Edit and Settings. When I go into Settings, it's the same System Settings screen as for instance, when you click system settings from Apex.
