Poll: Intelliscreenx vs Lockinfo+sbsettings

[rKunda]

I tried ISX all day today. It's very nice, especially the UI. It does feel like a stock app. But it does lack a lot of options that LI has, and it's terrible at rendering emails. The calendar is inferior to LI if you use multiple calendars, and other annoyances. It's nice, but LI still wins for me.

I do hope that Messages+ gets an option inside LI, though. It is really great.

I prefer LI/Sbsettings over IX

What about BBSettings over SBSettings? BBSettings is the new kid on the block right? I don't like to use themes so I don't want to use SBSettings because it looks so Winblows like. How can I get screen brightness at the top like notification center or something like that? BTW, OT but does anyone have MyWi OnDemand working on iPhone 4/iOS 5?

Install Brightness Activator Action and set swiping status bar left and right to adjust brightness. I found this solution best so far. Instant access to brightness adjustment!

With regards to the ISX vs LI, LockInfo doesn't work properly at the moment. It will work properly in about the same time since ISX came out...

I don't like SBSettings in NotificationCenter. Scrolling left/right isn't even.. ISX QuickSettings seems to support SBSettings within the same window which is perfect for me. Also the scrolling is fine, unlike SBSettings itself.

For internet tethering try TetherMe from Cydia.

If you've got Bite, it'll work with ISX. You can set it as your quick reply option in the ISX settings app.

Personally I keep switching between the two. I just can't decide. I LOVE the look of ISX and Messages+. Looks very iOS like and integrates well. I also really like the top shelf feature with the quick settings toggles. They look really nice and blend well with iOS and the ISX app. The twitter/mail/RSS plugins are pretty cool, but the reader doesn't sync with google reader which make it useless for me, the mail plugin doesn't handle HTML at all so it sucks too. I've used the twitter plugin but I'm not sold on it, yet.

I don't like that the quick reply for Messages+ automatically marks the message as read when you open it. Sometimes I start typing and have to stop without sending the message and I'd rather not lose what I've typed/have to open the quick compose, type in the name, see the conversation and THEN reply. Kind of annoying. Also not a fan of how hidden album art is when it's behind ISX on the lock screen, but thats not really a HUGE issue.

Lockinfo just has that familiar feel since it hasn't really changed all that much (which is both a good and bad thing). The sole reason I use BiteSMS is for quick reply and I like how it integrates with Lockinfo. The QR window comes up and can be closed without marking the message as read and any typed message remains. However I don't like having to have SBSetting installed along with Lockinfo AND BiteSMS. Seems like too many things that ISX does by itself. I like the customizability of Lockinfo, but I end up just having it similar to how ISX is by default anyways aha, . Though I would prefer if ISX would adopt the ability to change what widgets are viewable in each screen, since having the clock/ticker widget is kind of useless in the normal notification center.

*sigh*

Typing this made me switch back to ISX. Had been using Lockinfo the last week or so. Seems I'll never decide


edit: for battery life, it really depends on the settings. Both have the potential to slaughter your battery if the refresh intervals for the plugins are set to low values. I set mine to high enough values that its basically manual refreshing whenever I want it to.

Pretty much agree with this. I also like that you can put other things in the top shelf with ISX Quicksettings. I didn't realize this at first, but now I have Noticall in there which is nice way to get to your favorites without clogging up the initial pulldown menu. I've also always used bitesms and Lockinfo on my past two iPhones, but I've been trying to get by with just messages+ lately and its working out ok. I sometimes still hit the volume + button to send a quick text versus pulling down the notification center and clicking the little pen icon.
I wish I could have independent settings for ISX for the lock screen and the pull down notifications like lock info. Basically so I could get rid of the clock/ticker in ISX notification pulldown but still have it on the lockscreen. Also I'm not sure why but whenever I unlock my phone and I've received new emails while locked, I get the banner notifications for the emails on the unlocked phone. It only happens for emails and not texts or anything else. Anyone else having this problem?

So if I buy Intelliscreenx, I should uninstall sbsettings first, (not needed)?
