Hey there my phone is rooted and I'm running the new Fresh 1.0.1 Rom and I came from the Evo9 Rom running Froyo 2.2. One thing I liked about the froyo rom is that on one side it was to unlock and the other was to set the phone on vibrate instead of silent. Is there any way to change this now. I have Fresh running and I have flashed the Vanilla locks screen but currently one side is to unlock and the other is to silent and I really prever vibrate.
Thanks in advance.
I think someone asked about this yesterday too, but i would love to see this too. Instead of having to unlock & even just go to a widget, i could do it right from the lock screen.
well the froyo rom that's available does this so I wouldn't think it would be to hard
I think cyanogen mod supports this. I'm sure there is a way to port it over/hack it in.
Is there anyway to get the Vanilla Lock screen WITHOUT rooting?

Not really. There is an app in the market (I think called lockbot) that lets you use alternate lock screens, including some that look like Vanilla.
Since this can be done by this app, I imagine someone that really knew what they were doing could make the actual vanilla lock into something that could be installed over top of sense, but I don't think it has been done.
You may just want to check out lockbot for now,

I have the latest Fresh ROM installed along with the vanilla lock screen and love it. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to install the vanilla slide to answer. I'm not a huge fan of the sense one where you drag the bar down or up. Thanks!
I don't think so, at least I haven't seen one. It might be possible but its probably too integrated into Sense.
Make a request at flipz's website, maybe he or another dev will take it on.
is there a way to edit it? This must have been asked a million times, but i don't mean with widget locker or lockbot or something like that. I find the clock tacky, since the notification bar is right there and i want to remove it. i'd imagine it would require rooting. thanks
yes
yes requires rooting because you would have to modify a theme zip like a stock theme then modify the .PNG then flash ....atleast thats the only way i know about it
You need to be rooted and running a deodexed rom. You then would have to do some xml edits to remove the clock

ok thanks guys. while i've rooted before, my epic still has the new phone smell and i'm still babying it. but could you help with this? is there a locking app that either:
1. overwrites that xml file or w.e. so that it is not active at the same time. (so they aren't fighting for domination?)
2. keeps the functionality of being able to swipe to missed texts, calls, e.t.c.
thanks.

There's different apps in the market that changes the lock screen. You might want to start looking into those

Can you point me in the direction where I can find a different lock screen zip for the epic thats not the TW one or the AOSP one?
Search isn't working right now...

Those two are pretty much it as far as lockscreens that work on the epic. You can get the rotary lockscreen if you use the cm6 beta, which I have found to be quite stable. Other than that you are going to need an app rather than a flashable zip.

I would recommend GOTO. Its in the market. Its a paid app, but as you unlock you can choose between messages, phone and gmail. You can change which apps it opens if you don't use the stock programs. I have been using it for a month or so. Just make sure you run through the setup twice to make sure the settings are set correctly. Initial setup is kind of tricky i though. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
Is there ANY vanilla lock screen.apk's out there that are just the .apk NOT an entire ROM, and ones that WORK, not ones that are "half ass" done? I realize developing anything can be difficult, I just want to find one that works correctly. The search filter on the site is junk you type in Vanilla lock screen, or any thing lock screen .apk and it just brings up every ROM that has a vanilla lock screen in it, can anyone help solve this "puzzle". I really like the one from Warm 2.2 BUT its jacked up/ wasnt properly developed and is just pointless to use unless youre using it with that ROM.

Warm twopointtwo is not a vanilla rom, so it would not be a vanilla lockscreen. What rom are you using currently?

I hear you can just delete the sense lockscreen and it'll use the vanilla one. But, I believe I also heard that screws up your alarm. Not sure where the sense lockscreen apk is though.

I think the htclockscreen.apk is in system/apps. If you rename it with .bak at the end you will have the vanilla lock screen. Not sure what you mean by half assed though? What do you think is wrong with the one from Warm?

well its "thinned" out, it sometimes double screens, as in you go to weather or alarm, and a blank screen will quickly slide up showing a half assed weather/ alarm screen, the lock itself is perfect, but what ever else he put in that apk file was terrible, i hate to *****/ trash on a dev since he has done really well, but i think it needed more work before releasing. as far as the apk file yea i knew you could change it to a .bak, only problem is, when i go into the root file explorer and locate the file to rename it, the second i try to rename it, it says "insufficient permissions" and i have no idea how to fix it, in this case google nore the forum was my friend lol any ideas?
ok fixed it, figured it out, and was able to change it, next step learning how to create apps LOL.
I don't think so but, is it possible to port over this answer/ignore screen from Sense?? My girl is getting annoyed by the slides now. She seems to be liking iphone now.. which it is better an app deparment. Way better than android market IMO..

Not possible for an AOSP ROM (which I presume you're using).
That answer screen is part of the Sense framework. To port that over would mean to port over the entire framework, which isn't possible.
Thank you, no kind of alternative huh?? She really likes that "iphone" stuff.. but unfortunatelty.. she's stuck now with the TMOUS leak , unrooted.. until there's a downgrade.., everything else is perfect, except she's tired of the slides.. which is dumb IMO same process right?

I don't believe there is an alternative, though I could be wrong. The AOSP answer screen is part of Phone.apk and I don't believe there has been an alternative to that.
You can use alternate dialers like DialerOne (http://www.appbrain.com/app/dialer-one/kz.mek.DialerOne) which changes the dialing screen, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't change the answer screen.
Sliding or pressing to answer calls doesn't matter to me, sliding just requires a tiny bit more finger effort, lol. Tell her it's good for her finger muscles lol.
I did notice that if the phone is "awake" and someone calls, you get the "push to answer" option instead of the slider. And when it's locked, you get the "slide to answer" option. Makes sense because they want to make it harder for you to answer a call on accident when the phone is locked and in your pocket. So if someone modified Phone.apk to always present you with the "push to answer" screen, then your problem would be solved.
If you're familiar with ADB, have you tried the downgrading thread over at the development section? Supposedly you can downgrade and root any G2 with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055581
Then you could just load up an MIUI or Sense ROM onto her phone and she'd be happy

Yeah, I've rooted her phone and all.. put sense, miui, and cm roms on it but they always have problems.. so I unrooted but then put the PC10IMG of gingerbread on it and since there's no downgrade available right, she's stuck at slides now

Lol that sucks. I love Sense and MIUI ROMs but they're a little too slow for me. I've had the most success with the InsertCoin ROM. Pretty smooth, not as smooth as CM7 though... Of course that's just my opinion.
Is it possible to switch out the lock screen? There is a post in the dev thread where someone has offered up a replacement but says it only replaces the 'vanilla' and not sense. If you run this ROM you have sense, right? If someone could point me in the direction where I might be able to learn more about how this may/not be possible that would be great.
Widgetlocker?
I could be wrong but I think there might be a sense lockscreen apk in data/app or system/app. I'm thinking if you delete or rename that, you'll have the "vanilla" sliding tabs.
Note: This information may be entirely incorrect.

FYI
NOTE: If you do rename the WarmZ 2.2 lock screen file ---> /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
as mentioned by k_nivesout, you will then have the vanilla lock screen.
With the vanilla lock screen, you are going to need the vanilla clock app.
The htc sense clock app and vanilla lock screen does not play well together. You will get an alarm that goes off, and you cannot stop it until you restart your phone.
Thanks for the help. I have progressed in my quest. I have found that the lock screen I have been trying to get installed, posted by gomorrah, uses update-script that isn't compatible with CWM3 (ammend vs edify). Trying with another recovery I am now at the point of not having Launcher2 so I'm chasing that piece now.

Could you post a link to said lock screen? Is there more than one, or just a single lock screen?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11897693&postcount=2454
if if wont flash on CWM 3 use this. just flash it first then do whatever you want after.
Thanks. I was thinking down those lines. The package installed, at least as far as CWM was concerned, without error. Problem is that nothing changed.
is there anyway to get the lock screen (+weather animations) from synergy rom on warm z 2.2? that's my favorite part of the synergy rom (easily amused i guess) but otherwise like warm z better...been searching forum for some time looking
thx for any info
No, I don't think the sense 3.0 lockscreen will work on a non gingerbread rom. I believe incubus is working on a warm 2.3 rom, and there is already a warm skin for synergy.
thanks
will any skins for synergy rom from other phones work? i'm not finding one for the incredible (forgive me if i looked right at it & didn't see it) i found skins for the evo synergry....
