I am on SenselessROM 2.1 Beta 1, so its the HTC lock screen, but Sense call/answer apps. Is there a way to set it up so that when you receive a call to have the lock screen not show up but the answer and decline screen show up? Because for me I have to unlock the phone, then swipe my password to just hit the answer key. I am pretty sure my blur-less Droid 2 didn't work that way, unless I am terribly mistaken. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the rom as I've heard of other people having this problem, but don't hold me on that.
:/ That's no good. I guess I will wait until a fix comes about. Thanks
The fix requires re-writing the HTC framework and I dont think that will happen.
Ah So will you then for your senseless rom move to the aosp way of doing things, or no?
look for a semi sence rom with the lockscreen or just pull it yourself and add it to your fav rom. make sure you get proper permission from the devs.
Well I am running a Semi-Sense based rom.

One thing that really annoys me about my X2 is the fact that when it's idle and I want to use it, I have to first slide my finger left to right to unlock the screen, and then put in my security pattern to use the phone. It's a little redundant and stupid to have to do both. Now that I"m rooted, is there a way I can remove the initial left to right swipe screen unlock?

There's a free app in the Market called No Lock. I have it, and it works great!
Sent from my Droid X² using XDA App
Ah that's right, someone mentioned that before but I wasn't rooted at the time. Thanks.
EDIT: Actually that takes both things off, I only want the initial sliding unlock removed, I still want to enter my pattern...
I found AntiLock which does what I want but is kind of shoddy... it shows the home screen for a split second before making you enter the pattern, and there's no emergency contact button down below. There has to be something else out there.

I use No Lock; put MIUI on my wife's nook color and No Lock was bundled with it. Seems to work well.
No Lock doesn't do what I want though, I still want some security in the form of the pattern lock. I just don't want the stupid left to right swipe screen, it's pointless.
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
Sent from my Atrix
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.
Xda app via atrix
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.
Coming from Nexus One so AOSP/CM were what Im used to.
Im currently running quick sense.
ADW as my launcher.
Just a few questions.
1. Is there a way to remove the PULL RING lock screen at all ?
Or at the very least change the shortcuts ?
I have pattern lock but Im used to going directly to that when waking.
2. Are there any modified APKs of the messaging app ?
Lack of customization isnt made up by its high res UI and slick design.
Handcent and GoSms are nice but not high res so Im caught in between
3. Anyway to turn off home screen rotate ?
4. Contacts. Im very lost here.
Can I sync JUST the Facebook contacts I also have on my Google account ?
Seems like its all or nothing.
I like having say "brenda's" FB status and profile pick...but not her sisters jane and diane who are also FB friends.
5. Is there a way to enable track skip for the volume buttons ?
If Im listening to music Im used to being able to press Vol up/down to change tracks.
So far love the camera..light bleed is there but hasnt irritated me (yet)..very heavy/bulky...but great screen and Audio seems FAR better than my N1 so far. Battery life went from wtf ? to oh..pretty good with Quicksense.
Thanks!!

2. Only the third party ones from the Market. I may be wrong though.
3. My home screen doesn't rotate. Maybe try Settings > Display and check/uncheck Auto-rotate screen.
4. Confused here. Do you want your Google contacts AND your Facebook or just your Facebook? Or do you want to sync certain Facebook contacts.
5. You can swipe your finger across the screen to change tracks. That's about it as far as I know.

No. But there should be something on the Market to disable the lockscreen. I have a power control widget that has the option to disable the lockscreen when selected.

Currently, there isn't a way (that I am aware of) short of removing the contact from FB to prevent them from showing up. Alternatively, consider setting up groups such as Work, Friends, Class, Clan, Gang, Homies... whatever. I use the People widget on my homescreen with twelve or thirteen frequently used contacts and rarely need to go through my contacts at all. And with the People widget it also shows their latest FB Status, tweet, e-mail, missed call or sms. Maybe that helps?

Why not run Beastmod then?
It kills all Sense... Seems like you don't want Sense features since you are using ADW. Why run a bulky ROM for features you don't want?

"1. Is there a way to remove the PULL RING lock screen at all ?

Yes - you can customize which icons are on the lock screen - you get at them from the 'personalize' icon on the home screen - lock screen - settings - and can assign any app to the lock screen.

But to do this yo have to be using the SenseUI launcher while trying to customize, then you can switch back to whatever. I learned this the hard way while using Launcher Pro

Hi all,
I installed the latest official firmware from Samsung which was rolled out officially in Spain, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share two things that bother me:
1.) Lock screen shortcuts: any shortcut app on the lock screen (e. g. camera, flash light) still asks for the PIN. I thought the idea of the shortcuts was to avoid having to type in the PIN for non-security-related apps ...
2.) Keyboard language switching: the space bar wiping for switching the language is really nice, BUT: voice typing does not use the same language as the one specified for typing! When I go to voice typing, even worse, I have to select the language I want to dictate two times, the first time will not be recognized!
Ok, hopefully I am wrong but I rather doubt it... if anybody can confirm these things please let me know!

If it's not a bug, what is the benefit? Suppose I have the flashlight app on my homescreen. If I want to access it I have to do:
- enter PIN
- tap on the icon
Now, with the great new lockscreen shortcuts, I do:
- tap on the icon
- enter the PIN
What's the benefit of the lock screen shortcuts, anyone?
What's the benefit of setting your lockscreen to ask you for a PIN number?
So that people can't access to your device.
Shorcuts play the same role.

Yes, the benefit of the PIN is security. I did not understand the rest of your answer.
As far as I understand, the widgets and shortcuts on the lock screen of the pure Android Jelly Bean, as it is installed on the Nexus 4, is the following: you can access some applications even without entering your PIN. This makes totally sense for some non-security related applications like the flashlight, or the music player. In the Samsung Jelly Bean adoption, I still have to enter the PIN code - so what's the sense of the shortcut then?
If something is not working as it is intended it is a bug. To me, this is a bug. Where can I file a bug report for the Samsung Jelly Bean?

On htc sense is the same. Has been since 2011 on Sense 3.
It's not a bug. No point reporting it, it makes sense, why would you set a password but apps can be opened from shortcuts?

So, what's the point of the shortcuts then? I don't see why it is faster to first press the icon and then enter the PIN, compared to first entering the PIN and then pressing the icon.
So you don't want anyone that hasn't your PIN code to use your phone, but you also don't mind them using whatever apps you got shorcuted on your lockscreen?
That's how you want your phone's security to work?

Galaxy S2 Omega v19.2 FC during charge
Hi all,
I have just installed the omega v19.2 rom and found a bug. If I put the USB cable to the phone (charger or my PC, does not matter) and let it switch off itself automatically, then I can not switch on the device again, have to pull out the battery and restart again. If I switch off the screen with the power button during charging than it does not freeze, i can switch it on again. Any solution?

App in the play store called no lock will do the trick. HTC removed that feature for some reason. They probably want you to have some type of security on your phone.
Please press the thanks button if I have helped you in anyway.
