Is it possible to completely disable the red 'you failed' trail that is displayed when you fail at your zigzag pattern? i know my pattern...why in the name of god would i want to display the failed pattern? what is the possible purpose other than to allow others to visualize the baseline idea of your pattern that you deftly just mussed up? why not light up the 4 digits on your ATM keyboard so you can see just which digits you hit vs the ones you intended to hit?
There must be a way to disable the pattern lock visible line. with exception to the period of time allocated to setting and verifying of the pattern to be used...i would think it should never been seen.
There should be an option to "turn visible lines off"....It should be in the same menu as adding the pattern...

This only disables the green line while trying to unlock instead of the red fail line

Correct. I do not want failed attempts to be displayed on the device in a red line... nor do I wish to see the green line.. i have already made the green line go away.. now to hide there red one.

You might want to include the fact that a lot of stuff isn't working with CM.
such as no 4g.......
WiFi not working for everyone.
no HDMI
Why anyone would give up all that, to change the pattern lock settings, is beyond me.
Well if you don't live in a 4G area or don't use HDMI then why not. Personally I'm waiting for a stable version since I use my phone for my business so I cant be using a experimental version for everyday use.

LOL.
I too would like the fail trail to go away. I often miss the last one (because it's just a little bit out of reach) and it basically gives it all away, anyone watching and seeing the red line obviously knows which one I didn't hit.
I could obviously change my pattern so my thumb doesn't have to reach, considering it's also compromised as of late...
I am watching the CM6 development with great interest but am not willing to roll to a pre-Alpah release (according the first post of that thread). yes, i know it is working very well, but do prefer to wait for the RC1 to be available.

When looking at the lock screen my phone doesn't display the date. Its cut off. All I see is Mon. May and the very top of the actual date. Anyone else have this problem? Wasn't like this any other time.
Edit.. didn't see any other posts when I started to post this earlier and didn't finish. Now that I did I see others. Mods, feel free to delete.

it does sort the apps menu... hit menu, edit , sort , save... and the lockscreen thing is easily fixed by swapping fonts

well yes they are... lock screens can make or break a phone. even windows 8 will have a customizable lock screen. Widget locker comes the closet to the best but samesung is awsome lock but needs widgets....

Do you BONSAI?
Pulled my new galaxy s 2 out of my pocket and noticed a thin horizontal white line about 1 inch from the top of the screen, Only on the lock screen. I changed lock screen background and reset the phone but it s still there in the same location (edge to edge). There is no physical damage to the screen and the line is not visible any other time (home screen, pictures, games all fine so far). Anyone else seeing this? Screen shots soon. Maybe normal and i never noticed it?

Can anyone confirm that they do not have a horizontal line under the clock on the stock lock screen like the picture attached?. (not my lock screen btw) after looking around on google it seems this may be normal, but it's hard to find pictures of just the lock screen for the stock rom...thanks for the replies...Not sure how i missed it if it is normal...

not normal. Seems like stuck pixel. Since its an led screen each pixel is an led basically. I would return it if you could if not try to run a test. you can find one from the market just dont remember the name.

noooo. he took a screenshot...that means that a picture of the image being sent to screen for display to the user. Screenshots do not show hardware defects. I believe this to be a bug in the system. I would odin back to stock and post back with results. Not factory reset...odin
edit: if it IS a hardware defect, then it is probably the graphics chip that renders the image that is going bad...not the actual screen
Picture i posted is not my screenshot, gound that with google and added the arrow...i can confirm the line is not visible on any other screen just lock..i really just dont recall seeing it before. Used a screen test app and all screens look ok to me...

then it is most probably just a bug. Are you updated to latest Kl1 firmware? If not, you can update through odin without losing your data. If you are on tha latest firmware and dont want to go through the hassle of odining stock again and setting up everything again then i would just not worry about it as its only on the lock screen
Screen
I do believe that's a design element. I have the exact same thing on the lock screen and I have a brand new phone made January 20th.
I had that when i updated to kl1 or when i used one of the first versions of juggernaut. Just do a fresh install or odin/factory reset from phone.

Yes that's normal. Its suppose to be there. Ive gone through 3 sgs2 and always set up a screen lock and have always noticed it on all 3 phones. Its not a hardware or software issue, its part of the design element for the lockscreen as I'mDan2 also mentioned.

Yes, it's definitely a graphic design element. Most telling is that the same line on my phone, running GingerSnap, is a reddish-orange color - in accordance with the rest of the reddish-orange theme for that ROM. Lol

This may have been asked before, but haven't found any threads on this.
In Gingerbread, when you chose the password unlock option, you got the slide-to-unlock with unlock and silent sliders, and then when you slid the unlock one, you were presented with the password screen. In ICS, you just get the password screen. Is it possible to have both the ring unlock on ICS which leads to the password screen?
Thanks!
newest version of gummy has this feature. Can't say off top of my head where he got it or if he just coded it himself. Might check there first though.

Why the Hell!!! would you want to slide and put in a password every time you use your phone? Coming from an iphone 4 that was the feature I hated the most in GB.
Am I missing something? Please Help me understand why you actually Want That?

Check out the gummy thread, there is a video that may help you understand. Basically, it allows you quick access to the camera and two other shortcuts while maintaining a security option.
I installed unlock with WiFi and it does the slide to unlock and the PIN. So when you are on a home WiFi network you just get the slide to unlock.

Ohhh, I see said the blind man. That actually makes more sense than wanting to go through both (slide and pin/pattern) 20+ times a day. That's what I didn't get.

Hi, there.
I'm on Vodafone in the UK and my new One X displays the message 'Loading' with the moving circle underneath every time I return to the homescreen or come out of a programme (for between 3 and 5 seconds.) I've only had the phone for a day and have arranged to have a replacement delivered on Monday, but I wondered whether anyone else has noticed this? It's obviously a dealbreaker but I can't see any other threads, so am I right to assume I just got a dodgy phone?
(I also have a yellow spot on the bottom left of the screen, so I'm not sorry to be getting a replacement.)
Thanks in advance!
The loading screen happens to almost all the OneX out there but if your planning to unlock bootloader then you can use SuperCharger script or one of the custom ROM which already has it. Otherwise you have to live with it.

Gosh, really? I mean this is just infuriating - every time I exit something, there is a reeeeally long pause before I can do anything else. Does that happen to all the phones? Every review I've read talks about how fast this phone is and I would have thought a three or four second hiatus before a new task can be started would have been mentioned somewhere within the torrent of praise I've read for the One X.
I've just come from a BlackBerry Bold which was much quicker and the iPhone doesn't pause like this - if the new phone has it, I'm going to have to rethink.
Is this something others are also experiencing?

It's been a common problem with Android that's why we have SuperCharger script. You'll be suprised how of them are using that script.
Solved!
I have solved this!
Go to Settings > Developer Options > Scroll down to Don't Keep Activities and UNCHECK it.

Doesnt that disable multi tasking?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I believe so. A quote from Android Developers website.
Immediately destroy activities
Tells the system to destroy an activity as soon as it is stopped (as if Android had to reclaim memory). This is very useful for testing the onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) / onCreate(android.os.Bundle) code path, which would otherwise be difficult to force. Choosing this option will probably reveal a number of problems in your application due to not saving state. For more information about saving an activity's state, see the Activities document.

app problem
For me the activity that restored normal time (instant) when going to the home screen was deleting apps I had installed today. I uninstalled Adidas MI coach app and boom, the loading circle wasn't there any more.

Probably, if you were to check it. The OP has indicated that he got around the problem by unchecking it. In which case there is no effect on multi-tasking. I don't think that is the default setting anyway's, so somehow the setting must have got set on the OP's phone.
Also not sure why it is being said that this loading time is common. It isn't! I have never seen it on my H1X and this would have raised a big concern over usability of the phone....
I would have posted in the CM 10 nightly build thread but I can't because I am still a newbie and can't post in development threads.
Two relatively simple questions for everyone.
What type of battery life are you guys seeing on the stock cm10 kernel/ the 9-05 nightly?
My other question is, is there a way to bring up a pin unlock screen in conjunction with the slide unlocker launcher? (I searched but couldn't find the answer to this, might just be searching for the wrong thing) After you slide to the right to unlock it brings up a screen that lets you enter in your pin. I believe that those of you that had cm7 should remember this functionality and ideally I would like to keep the option of opening up other apps from the unlock screen as well as have a pin to unlock my screen.
Observation about the flicker that I was going to put in the development thread: screen flickers after switching from the camera. (CM10, 9/05 nightly, stock cm10 kernel)

Not sure what answer you are looking for here (subjective), but seems to be good. Sleeping, it is using ~1%/hour.

Screen flickers still happen, for some people more than others, and not at all for some people. It isn't bad enough to make me want to stop using it.
