Hy,
Previoulsly I was using a flased HTC Polaris. There was one great thing with this phone : buttons. Espacially incoming call answer button.
I love my X10, but I do have problem answering incoming phonecall. The slide button is very difficult to use with both hands, and impossible if you use your phone with one hand only (It could be a good thing for not answering while driving though).
I expected that flashing with a custom rom would solve this issue, as I was sure that everyone would agree with this point of view, but so far, I haven't tested a ROM that provide an incoming call button that isn't a slide button.
I believe that this slide thing (even for unlocking I don't like it) is some sort of iPhone like complex. Well to my point of view, an Android phone isn't an iPhone, and shouldn't try to look like an iPhone (espacially when it comes to details that are not so great about the iPhone)
Now to my question : is there a way to change the style of the answer button from this stupid and unpracticle slide button to a more simple touch button ?
There is a handfull of apps to do that... i listed some of them here, but i guess you can find even more of them:

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.nsd.easyanswer
https://market.android.com/details?id=tw.nicky.FullScreenCallerPro&feature=search_result
I guess some of them even allow you to use camera button to answer the phone.
The "iPhone Complex" is SO true...
Well said.
(I am using MIUI, but that's all about absorbing the good aspects of the iPhone and combining them with the Android power)

Great. Thanks a LOT.
I thought this kind of things would be changed only with a mod ROM.
Nope.. it's a case of "There's an app for that" !!!!!!

Thank you sir..... it is very helpful!
I'll cover this app later on the Apps and Games Thread...
I liked the idea and the app. Even have used ez answer but that covered the quick sms reply.
Dont understand why it needs internet, GPS perms and also read sms/mms. If the developer explains that it would be nice.

actually the main idea of slide to answer thingy is to avoid unwanted recieving of call i mean .....our phone has a capacitive tuchscreen which responds to even smallest of our touch if we have a direct answer button then take a situation like for eg: m with my gf and doing naughty things with her and suddenly my dad calls me and bimistakely the direct answer button gets pressed the call will get recieved but i wud not be knowing tht.....so slide answer prevents tht from happening....so slide to answer is very beneficial at such kind of moments....lol

Interesting..I use the Home button to answer calls (Settings->Call settings->All calls->Answering call->Answering key->set this to ON).

That, and you can use the power off switch to end a call. Settings - Accessibility - tick power key ends calls.
Very useful for these reasons
1. Usually you have to wait for the proximity sensor to lightup the display then end a call.. in that time the person on the other end thinks i wanna talk more, or maybe he wants say something at the last moment and you cant hear it coz the phone is not on ur ear anymore (Coz ur waiting for the screen to light up)
2. The index finger is right on top of the power button when you are holding your fone, atleast mine is, so i can DC it instantly whn I am done talking. Samsung did some things right this is one of them
these two features (Recieve with home key & end with power key) has made life so easy!
I used this app, but I'd really like the HTC Call screen ported to the G3. Any way to do that?

hi
mee too buddy but what to do this is the closest we can get to that
i also have a tattoo(my wife is using it now) and it is real easy for me on that phone
I found these apps too laggy :/
The stock phone app pops up and after few second the buttons appear. I have plenty of time to answer with slides.
If there was a complete replacement it would be faster, but there is not...
HTC Call screen is awesome :L

While I like the app you mentioned,
you just sent me remembering a old days incident which happened with one of my close friend, i think it was around1998, incoming calls were Rs.8.40/min in India.
His father owned a bus service, he used to go to fill diesel and sign slips on petrol pump everyday, mostly with me and very occasionally alone.
One day when I was not along, he was bored so he went to university area, he located a few friends and was at tea shop, discussing everything from how cruel heart his father is, he sends him on bike on rainy days too, father has millions but will drive FIAT only, I hate these qualities, why can't I go by car to fuel the buses etc, oh my GF, she su**s me so hard and wild, I am flirting with a new girl and god knows what not, and to his BAD Luck, his ODD Motorola phone had his father's number saved in voicemail button which got activated.
To cut the story short (i can't stop laughing now), He was without food for 1 day, while Bike and cellphone were taken back for 6-7 days.
While this friend now owns a couple of Big Education centers, He still lives with his father, I am sure both may have forgotten that
So no way to port HTC Call screen to G3? Somebody PUH-LEEZ do it?!!
Hello. I'm opening this thread so everyone can tell little things that don't like, or want to be changed on our Neo-v, so developers can "make our wishes" true...
Thread will be daily updated...
CALLING
1.speed dialing - I wondering how its possible that modern phone doesn't have it??? There R 2 ways - first looong press on number or click on one number and then "dial"... These have a praistorical phones...
2.End call lock screen-(incoming) I notice that when I end my talking, screen locked it self...Even if dont answer or refuse call so I must unlock and then see missed call...
3.Call log-shows one same call-er in loooong list...is it better to show just last with options to show call history for that number
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
CAMERA
Need a lot of work on drivers...its just not that picture quality it has to be...
1.white balance -too much white on factory settings that make noise in artificially conditions (in house at night)
2.NO BEST PIC Great and very usefull shot-mode for driving of SE, so why they missed it in xperia models
3.Violet noise Sometimes i see this "ghost" when autofocus on lower light when there is a lite source at side of phone during picturing
MESSAGES
1.Message details - dont understand why we can't see detailes like sent time and recieved time...That what old SE phones has...So when I recieve sms, I cannot see when is send to me, just time when I recieved it...is it so hard to pu it...
VOICE RECIRDER
Am I stupid or I can't find this or is it POSSIBLE that modern phone doesn't have it????
MULTITASKING -
Phone dont have minimaze options, some app's stay but some not in ram after press midle botton...So I use Advanced task killer to get back to my working app's...
Regarding multitasking: have you tried long pressing the HOME (middle) button?
You will see the 8 last started application, and you can easily switch to them. Note that they might have been removed from the memory, but some apps can still restart into the same state.
Totally agree with u on speed dialing and call log.
Use handcent sms...its great replacement for the stock messaging app
About sound recorder, i can see that in manage applications under 'all' but yes its missing in app drawer..i dont know how to launch app from there.
I think notification led is at silly place..

LOL What XDA-developers can do to make the screen bigger? haha
Just buy Xperia ARC
Hmmm...For me it has to be the speed dial and call logs.
Hi,
I have been looking this for long time. So it is possible to access the camera without typing pin to unlock phone?
Because WP7.5 and iOS can handle this but why not Android?
My HTC One X has this. Can use volume keys (i think it's volume keys anyway) to get camera and choice on my xoom to have various apps icons on lock screen. I had the camera taking photos via lock screen on my phone last night until I changed it. I think it was volume keys, I was pretty worn out from insomnia and fumbling the phone when picking it up to use it to pass time while not being able to sleep from pain induced insomnia.

Hmm... I am not sure are we talking same issue... I mean if I want to take picture with camera. I have put that Camera-icon on Lock Screen but if i chose that I need first but pin-code and after that i can take pictures.
u can use smart moves look in settings in motion menu

That is not the answer because if I make that nice smart move to activate Camera. It still ask first my pin-code and after that opens Camera.
So Android can't handle Camera in sandbox mode?
Has anyone found a solution?
i would like to know the answer to this also was a handy feature on the Iphone for sure
Don't think there's a way to do this. The point of the pin is so no one can access any function of the phone without the pin. AFAIK there isn't a mod that bypasses this
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Instead of making a new thread i would like to ask is there any update to this?
I know the htc phones are able to do this by dragging the camera to unlock it.
But if someone can develop this for the S3.
I know some people have played around with Sense 4.0 with s3 its still glitchy.
The main reason i want this is so i can take pictures and video immediately instead of having to put my 8 character password in and if there something interesting to record such as a dispute or police brutality or anything really we can pull out and record for future use.
Thanks for reading hopefully someone out there atleast attempts this to see if there is a solution.

Yes, there is a solution even on a password locked phone... try camera unlock : https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Aeropic

You can bypass the pin and open the camera with Xposed framework and a module.
The incoming calls give me two options to receive.
For some calls, the phone shows the SWIPE option, and other times just to TOUCH the green or red buttons.
Why so? Is it normal?
Is there way I could disable the swipe option and keep the simple touch option?
Thanks

hmm not exactly a solution ... but seems if the screen is locked its the swipe.. and if not its the touch option ..... just to zero in on your problem....
As above. No way to change it. If the screen is locked, you have to swype. If the screen is unlocked, then it's just press to answer.
Reason being, if your phone is in your pocket, it cannot be accidentally answered without performing the swype action.

Well understood !
Thanks a lot mate.
this is really bad user experience, especially for older person.
EMUI sucks. And basic android also. I cannot believe the operating system still does not let user increase size of icons ( like windows does). Nokia was 10 times better ( before microsoft took over) at user experience, but they missed the smart phone wagon
Maybe you should sit and write new OS and share it to world
