First, sorry if this is in the wrong place, however, I remember having a custom ROM that you could draw shapes to unlock the phone, and also set custom shapes to unlock and open a certain app (i.e. messages, clock, or Facebook etc.).
I have totally forgotten what the ROM was, but was just wondering if anyone remembered?
Cheers
obviously wrong section....
should be available in every ROM built on CyanogenMod
...nevertheless go to Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Lockscreen gestures > ...

Hey Guys/Gals
Im still getting into the whole fuss and fun of playing aorund with my ROM on my HD2 and recently upgraded to the newest version (Nov10->Feb11) and am not sure how to actually get some of the settings/display back to how it previously was (getting used to it and all )
I installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5044378&postcount=2 on my HD2 and noticed the image on the far left (Lock screen) is how i remember it but for the life of my i cant seem to get it back to how it looked...
I have the left right scoll option but just cant seem to find the setting to push/change to get it back to how it once was
I know its a basic question and option but i liked the options of having all the call/sms history with the swipe down then password layout.
I noticed that there have been Scene updates over the 2010/2011 change and im starting to think its been changed over with them... Does anyone know of an history section mabey with the last/pre scene release?
Currently i have installed
Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.01.7z
Did you try and/or check all the options of CHT?
For the lockscreen, you have several options which you´ll find in CHTE.
If you´re not familiar with the great CHT solution and its editor, please check out the introduction in the original thread. All this is cooked into the ROM you´re using.
I was having a play around with it but before i flashed i was able to use the pin number option and still have the slide down to unlock...

This image shows the diffrences which are between the image and my phone with the rom...
THe more i look at it the more i think i wont be able to bring the settings back i think
The editor has 3 options and the one whihc looks the closest if the HD mini but still does not allow for pincodes so i read...
the lockscreen you are showing is the android lockscreen that is part of the rom. it is not the CHT lockscreen (though CHT has an android option as well.)
fyi, energy rom has 2 lockscreens - windows and android (part of all roms, whether CHT is present or not).
to use this make sure CHT lockscreen is disabled. then go to settings > other > change lockscreen. it will prompt you that it will soft reset and give you a message about what screen it will change to. i believe, as this is not CHT, you can use a pin code without a problem.
also, for future, this type of question would be best in the Energy rom thread - really people there would help you quite quickly.
cheers.

CHT is disabled and there is no "Other" option in the settings panel
I dont think it allowed me to post in there when i first tried but it seems to let me now :S
go to settings on the manila slider (not via the start menu).
then go to Other (miscellaneous). you will see change lock screen.
this is standard on energy roms (i have the same rom as you.)
and i forgot about the new user rules and posting; apologies.
Options i have is
AGPS Settings
Car Kit Mode
Start Menu Layout Switch
Format SD CArd
Device Info
Wide Device
Get Carrier Time
SMS Threading
Keylock Settings {Only allows me to set passwords and nothing else}
Uploader
Location Setting
Autodata COnfig
No lock screen settings
hmm. in the FAQ of the rom i see:
Q: How can I Revert back to Original WM LockScreen instead of the Android one?
A1: Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Switch Lockscreens.
does this work (it will switch between the 2)?
Fixed it !!! Needed 28244
Ok well i fixed it... (watched a youtube vid where they mentioned the bottom bottons showing onbly in 6.5.x not the std 6.5 and that lead me to the description stating the 6.5.x)
Seems the rom u have installed is 28244 were i had 21916...
Installed 28244 and it looks just like it did before lock screen and all eve the buttons on the bottom
So ill know now for future now which one to install
Its a shame its midnight now and i have to resetup my phone
All is well now..
Also i see our Lock Screen options now, using 28244
ya know, i saw that but thought his 6.5 roms had that option (never had used them though.) glad it is working.
and for next flash, look into xda_uc (i use xda_uc_net)...with CHTS...saves time and you are up and running in 20 minutes or so.
cheers.
Is there a way to remove just the clock from the lockscreen?
Why do you want to remove it? And I don't think this is possible.
it kinda gets in the way of the entire lockscreen picture
Don't think you can. I use widgetlocker which does.
yup, I was using Widget locker in the past but I like to use the stock lockscreen more (just without the clock). I'm trying to mimize using different types of widgets too
I wanted to remove the clock in order to capture the screen to use TW-wallpapers in different app.
Where can I find those wallpapers ?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
hi all,
i would also like to know how to do this manually, i guess by modifying a system file to change the boolean variable (i.e. TRUE -> FALSE, or FALSE -> TRUE).
but to answer the thread starter's question, this can be done on Leomar75 ROM Revolution using JKay Tweaks
Hello everyone,
Since I have 1 posts including this one on the XDA forum and couldn't post in the dev section, I guess it'll have to go here. I'd like to make a simple lock screen for my Galaxy S2 (Android 2.3).
It would be similar to the default pattern lock but I don't want a combination of dots. Instead, I want it to unlock at a single tap at a position on the screen, or maybe two correct taps.
Since the default pattern lock requires at least 4 dot connections, I couldn't use it. I also want it to show the background with no widgets, only maybe the notification bar.
Now I downloaded the Android SDK, but I have no experience with it. I have past C++ experience and I'm willing to learn, but I would like some directions and perhaps code snippets to get me started.
Inb4 NOT SECURE LOL: It's what I want to have.
tl;dr Mewants to make single or double tap lock screen with no widgets showing. Halp?
Try AppInventor ...It is a good way to learn to make apps for Android without really knowing the programming...all you need to know is hoe you you want your app to work...and since you have previous experience with C/C++..am sure the loops such as if/if-else etc in the pictorial manner won't confuse you..Good luck..Its a good Idea you have there..dunno if it can be implemented for sure though!
There are many AOSP Lockscreens available in the dev section anyway...check them out till then
I'm new to phone modding, so please be forgiving.
I just flashed Slim-i9100-4.3.build.2-OFFICIAL-1334 and I want to be able to use Google Play etc., so I downloaded Slim_aroma_selectable_gapps.4.3.build.2 and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly.
So, should I just go to recovery and flash the zip? That's it? Should I wipe both caches beforehand?
More questions:
- can I somehow change the view in Gallery to list (with small thumbs maybe)? The only two options are grid and filmstrip and they both suck for browsing movie clips.
- how can I add mobile data on/off shortcut to the notification drawer? I know I can modify the quick settings section, but that just adds an unneccesary step. Vanilla Android has that!
- can I make the font in the status bar slightly bigger? It's too tiny.

You should of flashed gapps straight after flashing the rom. It should be ok to just flash gapps tho.
There might be a gallery on the play store for that but not sure.
Im dont use Slim but its base is cyanogenmod. You should have a toggle there with your network name? If so that is your data toggle.

yes flash gapps from recovery, always wipe cache and dalvik before is best practice. Data on/off on notification, that should be there in slim (if I remember rightly) You could check out widgetsoid to put toggle on home screen, I find this quite useful for seeing at a glance what is going on and abilty to change immediately as needed. You may also want to check out Tasker (paid app) I wouldn't be without it, then you can easily automate data on/off for what ever you like - example: screen off/data off - screen on/data on, browser on/off/data on/off etc.
Yes, you can make status bar bigger from within slim settings - change dpi to 240 (which will restore your phone to original screen size), if you wanted to get more technical you could use xposed settings with per app settings module, this works a dream for me, then you can set ui to 240 for example and other apps as you like them.
Also - quick pic may be a suitable solution for your gallery issue, I find this a good app.
Hope this helps
Happy modding!
Thanks for the replies. I have another problem and I don't want to make another thread, so here goes (it's a bit complicated, so bear with me):
I flashed the aroma gapps ROM and the installation process went fine, BUT it somehow corrupted my presonal/contact data. I would get "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." and "Unfortunately, dialer has stopped." errors. Maybe because I didn't wipe cache/dalvik?
Anyway, I read somewhere that to fix that you should disable and clear cache/date of:
- DRM Protected Content Storage
- Media Storage
- Dialer
- Contacts
- Contacts Storage
Which is what I did, but I think I did one too many things. The errors are gone, the contacts list is fine, I can send SMS and call no problem.
But now when I connect the phone to my PC, I can't see any folders in Windows Explorer! I can see the GT-I9100 icon in My Computer, I can see "Internal Storage" and "SD Card" on it, just not any contents. 0 folders, no hidden ones either.
Also I can't see any ringtones in the Settings->Sound->Phone ringtone menu, same goes for Notification sound. It only lists "none" as an available tone. Yeah.
HI, Today i have successfully installed slim-4.3 build 2.1 unofficial on my HTC HD2, after successfully installing SlimBean aroma gapps build 2 through recovery, there was no gapps package application in my launcher , what will be the problem ?
Slimbean 4.2.2, contacts and dialer apk of stock 4.1.2
Is there any way to have the contacts and dialer apks of Stock 4.1.2 can be installed/flashed in slimbean 4.2.2.
would be nice if there's a prompt reply.
i don't know if this is the right section if it's not please move it
i am a perfectionist when it comes to things being Clean i've installed lineage and a couple of mods and gotten my phone the way i want it, what bothers me is two things, the giant GOOGLE section in the settings panel so now theres two google settings one under accounts and one under the main settings panel, i want a rom where this is moved under accounts i hate any kind of branding i've gotten rid of all google like Icons and text i want my phone to visibly be as free from google logos or text as possible, Another issue i have is accessability i don't use it i only use and i wonder who messes with custom roms actually does use any of those help features, the one function where apps require it can be put under system , i'd like to get rid of that entire section and have the accessability for apps feature moved to the system section
these are things i'd like for a rom and i wonder if anyone likes the idea enough to do it, basically modify lineage and make those Changes, will Android break if you mess with the settingspanel? i just want to move things around to keep it cleaner i for example also wanted network settings and blutooth etc to be combined into one section all connectivity data,wifi,bluetooth etc.
actually i just noticed Android pie has the google settings removed
