Any info how to make the default froyo lockscreen in portrait ?pls advice
I had to buy WidgetLocker
Lock 2.0 will also force lockscreen to portrait.
Full version
Demo version
LockBot also uses portrait.
Free version
Paid version
I played a bit with LockBot free and it works better if you use something like NoLock to turn off the phone's built-in lockscreen. I'm not using a security lock.
I like LockBot better from the few minutes I tried them out.
Edit: the free version of LockBot has no ads and has three lockscreens you can choose from. It also allows unlocking form the menu button. See attached images for Lockbot free lockscreens.
To choose a theme in the free version open Lockbot from the app tray. Tap My themes. Then hit the menu key and then playlist. In the free version you can pick from the three themes pictured in the attachments. The ones you select will rotate. Select only one if you want the same lockscreen each time.
How do u get lock 2.0 to so lock screen in full mode?

That's my current setup. I changed the backgrounds for the lockscreens to pics of my 3 year old grand kids.
LockBot works with the PowerAmp lockscreen widget, except with the direct unlock setting in PowerAmp. So when I am running PowerAmp I have to unlock twice, which is how I had it setup with the stock lockscreen.
I have widgetlocker, but it irritates me how the first time I try to wake my phone up, the stock lock screen is there and the phone immediately shuts back off. I'll try nolock when I get home, thanks for the info!
Edit: Worked like a charm.

Hi,
Widget Locker is really good however the Home Screen bypasses the security. Howevr you must use the inbuilt lock for it to work. But note, if you have a widgetlocker background for example black then when you go to unlock it you will see your homescreen background which doesnt really fit in? if you know what i mean?
LockBot Pro was really good and my preferred choice however that too bypass security. Even though it has its own Inbuilt Lock. Pressing the Home gets rid of it...apparently it say's its fixed but you can still press the Home and you're in....
---
I downloaded Lock 2.0 which has a inbuilt Lock 4 Digit Pass. Which is what I want however I can't move the slider down. ?? the background pictures shows correctly but then the slider is like half way down the screen.. does anyone have a idea how this works??
Thanks
I didn't like NoLock because the volume and camera keys bring the phone back to life.
I found Screen Mode Widget Lite overcame that problem.

never faced an issues with widgetlocker
Just wondering if it would be possible to program the volume buttons to light the lock-screen since the fingerprint-button is so horrible to use. Thoughts from any developer?

Moved to proper forum.
i want to unlock with the volume buttons as well but i dont want to use widget locker, id much prefer to use the MIUI unlock screens. is there any way to do so?
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew a secret as to changing the double tap function of the home button? It starts the voice activation program but I want it to open the inbuilt task switcher (yes I know you press and hold the home button to do this, but it takes slightly too long).
Noone?
Anyone?
No takers?

I'd also like to know.
I want to solve it too
From what I could remember, there is an app called QuickDesk which creates another layer for your widgets and shortcuts. Believe it also has an option to display the running apps.
Since Samsung has registered the double click home button shortcut, not sure if you could overwrite it with this app.
Quick Desk Pro

Quick Desk Beta - not sure what's the difference

Come one guys. A lot of us need to change that function. The voice program is no use to me.
It won't be possible to change it , unless you guys ask Cyanmod to implement it at root level.
I am sure they might be able to change the way how the hardware buttons react to certain softwares
CyanogenMod nightlies don't have voice control set on double press, so you can use the above mentioned third party apps.
Bump! I'd also like to know this tip if possible

It doesn't work for me. Does anyone have another trick?
Uninstalling voice command could be a solution?
Or this will cause some troubles with google voice to?
Thx!

That's the solution! Thank you sir.
disabling the double tap doesnt work. 2.3.6 stock firmware.
If you are rooted and have jkay Deluxe Settings app it can be disabled there.

i needed this today so i found this,
http://www.appbrain.com/app/advanced-home-button/com.crazyricky.advhomebutton
it is working perfectly for my galaxy s3, i can double tap the home button and open any app I want.
It adds a very simple feature I was missing: waking the phone by pressing the volume keys, just like the power button sometimes hard to catch.
It's a feature available on MIUI but not in stock Froyo roms. As far as I know, there is no simple way to enable this.
It's very light: no widget, no screen, no configuration, no service, no process running. So it won't appear in drawer or widget menu.
Just install it and it's active. No root required. Can be slow to react right after a reboot, but ok after.
It's my first application and it has been tested only on my 2.2.2 defy, so do not hesitate to write about any problem: not working, conflict with another application, etc... You can also tell if it's working of course .
It should work on other devices, but never tried.
Thanks for your feedback.
Nice! Worked for me

I'm planning to switch to MSGinger soon, I will be able to debug it and take a look at this. Maybe it's because of Gingerbread base version. I hope I will find because I will need it!

There is a change between froyo and gingerbread concerning broadcastreceiver that i'm using. I'm searching for a solution.

I am using "No lock" (BOD) from the market for this with MSG 2.1.
It is disabled the lock screen and in the same time you can wake up by pressing volume button.
I need this when I am mountainbiking (volume button are easy to catch), so I did not need the lock screen.
It a desktop widget, easy to enable/disable.
If you use your mod, is it possible to activate/desactivate the feature or it is always on ?

I dont think it will work because these keys are disabled when the screen is off.
This feature is already included in the latest stock MIUI.us release...it's under settings, system, buttons.

Unfortunately, it does not work on Samsung captivate I897.
hi all, as the title tells is there a way to make it possible? a single tap, double tap or as per user choice, or touching specific area in the display to wake the screen.
the display does wakes from sleep mode when receiving mail,calls extra without touching the keys, so can the same mechanism be achieved to unlock the screen?

i think it should be reported to some dev who develops lock screen app or modify aosp screens, anyway lets pm jkay and see what he suggests
any other idea guys?

This thread may be a good start. It's an app that lets you re-map the double tap to launch a certain apk. If you somehow change that to the unlock command or create a very basic app that unlocks once open then it should work.

i think we have to remap the wake event sent by home button or power button to the display unit, lets ask the app dev in your link and see if we can get something fruitful
according to me its a wierd feature..that requires tap to unlock......
always sliding is better nd stylish to use...........
tapping to unlock is a ****ty idea that all nokia symbian based phones exists......
so devs doesnt focussed on this .........
try widget locker or go locker, it provides as many as better nd good screenlocks than u said to make implement by devs.......

Put it this way, how about waking the phone from sleep mode using tap instead of pressing power key or home key. Won't that be useful ?

I think if that's the case (waking the phone by just tapping and not through the power button) buddy then the phone should be awake to recognize the tap causing battery drain and prevents the phone from going to deep sleep. On the other hand unlocking the phone by double tap might just be a good idea
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I wonder what happened about this? Would really be useful, no progress eh?
Does anyone know if a rom which has options "tap to wake" or "tap to unlock" as in G2 ?
You need modifications in kernel in order to do this, and I doubt it would be battery efficient enough to make it work on this phone.
