I am using the latest CyanogenMod ROM on my Optimus T P509. I use the gesture feature on the CyanogenMod lockscreen to unlock my phone. However, when there is an incoming call and I use the unlock button, the entire phone becomes unlocked so if I ever lost my phone, and an incoming call was answered by the person who found it, they would have access to everything on my phone. Is there a way to answer an incoming call and not allow access to anything else on the phone without first entering a password or gesture? Maybe something like allowing a call to be answered "on top of" the lockscreen like you can do when answering text messages with an app like Handscent? I'm sure there is such a feature in the settings on my phone - but I just can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance for your help on this.

What I'll often find happening with my HTC Desire S is that I receive a call on the phone, and as I'm rushing to get it out of my pocket I'm accidentally managing to swipe the screen, which rejects or accepts the call, when I didn't want to.
What's the best way to avoid this, given that I want to keep my phone in my pocket? I'd kind of like the screen to remain disabled when a call is being received until I press the power button at which point it becomes sensitive. Is there a way to do this or something which would avoid this accidental accept/reject of calls?
Is there anything built into Android that would allow this? An app? Or would it require development of a new app to get this kind of functionality?
As a sidenote, would there be a more appropriate xda-developers forum for me to post this in, or have I picked the right one?
Searched the forums and couldn't find an answer to this. Hoping someone else has experienced this and has a fix.
Whenever I answer an incoming phone call or dial a number my phone presents the caller in the QuickCircle window as if my quickcircle case was closed. The problem with this is that I don't get presented the dialpad to input numbers or activate speakerphone. I can only swipe to answer or end call.
Can't figure out if I made a setting to enable this or if my stump root and rooted app/modifiers are affecting anything.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a question here,
Got marshmallow running on my HTC One m8.
There is no silent mode anymore as in no sound and no vibration. What's there now is the do not disturb feature which basically does the same. But Accidentally I had it set to accept calls only from contacts.
What I can not find out now is, does this actually and actively block and deny any calls of unknown numbers without logging them or showing in any way that this person tried to call me, or does it just not show full screen call notification when I receive a call of unknown numbers?
Hope someone can shed a light on this.

Hi! Google replaced Do Not Disturb feature with Silent in Lollipop 5.0 and it was reported that they will bring Silent back at a later stage. Anyways, the Do Not Disturb feature in Android phones does not decline calls automatically like iPhone's Do Not Disturb, it only silents your phone and if you have selected 'Contacts Only' then it will only ring if someone from your contacts call you otherwise it will remain silent and notify you of the call or text (or whatever) and your screen will turn on while a call is being received.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!
Okay thanks! Was worried I'll miss calls or something.
I tried it out in the meantime, asked a friend whose number I don't have to call me. I didn't ring loud regardless whether I set accept all calls, or contacts only. It rung silently but the call came through in both cases.
I'm just looking for a simple app that will enable this feature, I was trying Smart Call Accept it worked but it annoyingly stopped the phone from ringing 3 seconds into the call...
I just want a simple app like that that will allow me to accept calls by saying "Hello" or whatever, tried Utter it had the option but didn't work and was toooo feature rich, I rarely and barely ever used S Voice so why would I need another like that that I'd hardly fully use.
Anybody got any suggestions, I'm doing this to get rid of the swipe to accept incoming calls on this phone, if it had the tap accept/reject button feature I wouldn't even be looking for a app to do what I'm asking now.
Thanks
Hello,
I am having a problem with incoming call interface of stock android oreo. I'm new to XDA, i heard, here are great Android developers who can solve almost anything with android. I've Nokia 5.1 Plus device which is based on android one.
I usually keep phone in my front pocket of shirt. As the incoming call interface of Stock Oreo, if you swipe down anywhere on screen, it'll reject the call. So when i pick up the phone from front pocket, sometimes it got swiped down and reject the call! (Idk why this happen only to me ).
So i wanted to know is there any solution to change the incoming call interface? I do not want to install custom rom, because it will destroy warranty. I tried some apps from playstore (like i call slide etc) which change interface to swipe right to answer. But idk Android kill this app sometime and it shows old Oreo incoming call screen! Can anyone help me with this problem with permanent solution. I heard about substratum which let us allow to use themes without root, does these themes also change the incoming call interface?
Thanks in advance,
