p925 answering call issues with cm7 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've flashed and wiped using all nightlies, but when I receive a call I have to hit the phone shortcut then tap something that says press 5 then slide to answer. This has really been an issue BC I end up missing calls BC of of the extra steps. I figured there might be a setting in the cyanogen mod settings but it force closes everytime due to com.android settings. Someone plz help me answer my calls my just sliding to unlock like it was with stock. Currently running nightly 8. Also is there a way to get the notification bar back? Thx for all ur tike and help guys

Question about slide to answer on CM7

On stock Gingerbread, when receiving a phone call, I just pushed the button to answer or ignore. Now on CM7 I have to slide to unlock in order to answer or ignore. I have checked all the Cyanogen Settings for the lock screen and phone and there is no way to diasble this. I also use "No Lock" from the market but it looks like there is no option to change this cm7. Can anyone help?
When screen is locked and phone rings, you slide to answer. When you are on your phone with the screen in, you push button to answer. I havnt been on cm7 for a while, so I could be wrong. That's how it is in homebase

No, you have to slide to unlock whether the phone is awake or sleeping. After researching for a while I can't understand why this would be stripped in cm7 when they seemed to fix it in Gingerbread and even Froyo I think. Seems like a lot of people were complaining about it on other message boards. I just wonder if it was intentionally stripped out of cm7 along with the ability to ignore with text response.
Uhmm.. Mine works fine. No issue like that.don't need to unlock to answer.

Thanks for the reply but could you be more specific? Are you running the Cyanogen Mod 7 beta ROM and if so are you saying that when your phone rings that you don't have to slide to answer i.e just push the answer button, or are you saying that you dont have to swipe to wake up your device and then swipe to answer?
Yep running latest cm7 available for atrix. Didn't really changed anything regarding the locksreen.. though i do have gestures enabled along with the regular lockscreen.
I only have to slide to pickup the phone.. never needed to slide to unlock.. then slide to pick up..
I think you misunderstood my original post. I do not have to "slide to unlock" to wake the phone in order to "slide to answer". Just like you, all I have to do is slide to answer. I want to change it where I can just push the "answer" button to answer the call like you could in stock Gingerbread.

not sure if this does what you want it to do, but i replaced my caller ID screen with it because the stock one wasn't compatible with my density levels.
anyways, check it out, it's pretty customizable: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androminigsm.fscifree&hl=en

Well you need to reword this..
You can try and use a different dialer in the market. Personally, Sliding makes more sense to me as you don't wanna accidentally pick it up or hang it up on a press..
Maybe widgetlocker will let you add extra sliders to your lock screen.

[Q] ICS Stock Messaging Auto Keyboard

Good day,
I know that when you enter the stock messaging and try to read a thread, you simply read all the SMS on that thread. The problem is that when i click on a thread the keyboard automatically pops up
Even when accessing the new sms message from lock screen. After swiping, i know that new message shall be opened for you to read but in this case the keyboard too pop up.
It gets annoying to keep pressing the back key or hide keyboard. I cant seem to find the correct settings to prevent the keyboard from popping out.
Can anyone point me on the right direction?
Using pure stock ICS (DXLP7)
Thanks
Up. Anyone have an idea how to solve this?
Still cant figure out how to stop it

[Q] Call Waiting Menu - Choose default action instead of option

Hi,
When I receive a call while already on a call, and want to answer, I get the following options:
- Put <number> on hold
- End call with <number>
This means having to first swipe to bring up this menu and then select. More often that not, I miss the incoming call while doing this.
All my earlier phones with physical answer buttons allowed a default option to answer the call while putting the current call on hold. I know there's no option to enable this on the S3. Was hoping to see if there's an app that does that.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Me too I hate this behaviour. If you install a custom rom base 4.2.1 and higher you will have a different menu or install a Cyanogenmod rom. I recommand Omega rom 44.1.

[Q] Few questions about my SGS2 4.1.2

Hello everyone!
I've got some questions about my galaxy S2.
I have my device for about a month now and decided to root it (ICS).
I installed GO launcher and for some reason it appeared in my task manager and i swiped it away by accident and thats where the ~ started
Got a black homescreen, rebooting didn't help so i thought well this is some kind of brick?
Yesterday i downloaded the pre-leaked 4.1.2 jelly bean (as belgium still doesn't have the official update) and put it on my device. I think it's dated from early november 2012.
Everythings working fine now but i have a few questions about changing some settings i don't seem to find or that don't work.
1.) Text message app:
The chat bubbles seem larger and the text in it too compared to ICS (if i remember it correctly). Is there any way to make make the font size even smaller than the default "extra small" which is quite large in my opinion. I don't want to use another messaging app and i tried a few apps to change font size but they didnt change it inside the messages app.
2.) Message buzzer:
When recieving a message my phone buzzes very hard and loudly for about a whole second eventhough i put it on heartbeat :s
Any idea how to fix this?
3.) Notification bar:
When sliding down the notification bar the upper row of switches always is in the middle position and then scrolls sideways to the first switch automatically, is this normal? and is there a way to change this?
4.) Go Locker:
When pressing a button to open the lockscreen my touch doesnt always respond. Need to lock it again, light up the screen again and then i'm able to swipe the screen. Normal?
Thanks in advance
I'd answer your questions one by one but i'm gonna make an aseveration instead.
It's normal, you'll get used to it, use the vol rocker to change the size.
You're on the leak, you can flash the netherlands ROM if you like, it's jb final.
Some of the apps that worked so well on ICS won't work the same way because of the different OS and lack of app upgrade.

dun use go launcher/ go locker if u feel that it is the cause. go launcher is known for it's big memory hogging/ overeater. try buzz launcher :cyclops:
@gastonw i know about the volume button but it doesn't go as small as before 
 @cyelanius i have no trouble with the memory usage, dont see much diff in batery life and i'm not a gamer on this device
Thanks for the replies anyways
Trust me, you'll get used to; I did.

[Q] Restore 4.3 Dialer to Kitkat?

I prefer the 4.3 dialer to the new 4.4 dialer in kitkat. I tried removing google dialer and replacing it with a copy of 4.3's dialer from my nandroid. It sort of worked. The dialer launches and works as you'd expect. However as soon as you press send to make a call, the dialer screen disappears. The call is placed successfully but you can't end it, see the keypad, or speaker options. The in call screen basically disappears. You can still get to call history but none of the call screen options are visible.
So I think it is close to working. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Was interested in knowing the same. Any ideas?
BUMP

Hi
I have the same issue with the stock 4.4 dialer! I can end the call by pressing the lock screen button (configured in accessibility). Any thoughts?
P. S. I have a stock 4.4.2 nexus 5
to replace dialer you need root access. Otherwise you can't make calls.
Never mind my post.
Any news ?

Ok root access is available - I would just prefer to put my dad's phone on Kitkat but he hates the new dialer. Is it possible to use the 4.3 dialer with kitkat?
