Sir toast, if you feel this is in the wrong place, please do move it. I debated here or themes, however it seemed more like a dev task to me and all the QnA threads about this just seem to trickle off..
So here goes. As you may have noticed, we lost lockscreen wallpaper selection when we upgraded to the evo.
I'm asking if any dev out there if it would be possible to pull that option from say the hero and implement it into the evo.
Anybody know if it would be possible or even if there is a high enough demand for it that someone might want to try?
My favorite way of accomplishing this is to use WidgetLocker from the Marketplace. A terrific app.

I've used it, its good, but I enjoy the htc lock as well as not running an app as my lockscreen. I would be more be interested in implementing this without an app.
I would be very interested in this actually. I thought it an odd choice to take away that functionality in the first place.

This might be a noob answer sorry... but i think it can just no one has taken the time to port it... you might be able to find a similar app in the app market.

Can it be ported? A friend of mines had the epic claims to save battery alot was just wondering

What is it, a task killer? You definitely don't need one and it won't help your battery life.
No the epic it's like a widget made by samsung for the epic worlds good better than task killer

You want to say that in English??? To stay ontopic, any kind of task killer on anthing Android is not recommended.

If anything, the fact that the Epic runs an AMOLED screen is what causes it to have decent battery life. On the other hand, a task killer isn't really useful for Android. There are some who'd probably disagree. That's fine. I'd still encourage you to check out this article: http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/ which should outline in detail why task killers aren't necessary.
If you do run into a locked up program and really want to rage against the machine and force quit it, do the following:
Tap 'Menu' -> 'Settings' -> 'Applications' -> 'Manage Applications'.
Tap the 'All' or 'Running' tab. Find your program and tap it.
There should be a 'Force Stop' button in there.
Yeah...bit of a maze to find it, I believe Android 2.3 will add a "Running Applications" button to the popup menu that you get when tapping the 'Menu' button.
If you're STILL set on getting a task killer, try checking out Advanced Task Killer on the market. You can also do a search here: http://www.androlib.com/r.aspx?r=task+manager
OP, the widget can't be ported to a ROM that does not run Samsung's TouchWiz UI.
That was much harder than it should have been.

Hey Guys
First thing posting after taking a little break from everything is going to be this: "Stay Awake" "Dial-up Networking" "Dock Settings" and "Horizontal Calibration" re-added into settings
I have tested them all (except Dock Settings, because i don't have one ), and they seem to work great
Also! This version of Settings can also disable both Am/Pm or the clock entirely!
I can't take all the credit for this, because I observed Adrynalyne's changes he did for the fascinate, and ported it over for us So say thank you to Adrynalyne if you are really thankful
Now, on to the downloads!
http://www.mediafire.com/?50cqam8vicrmitn
Just Thank Me if you find this helpful, or if you are really thankful, you are welcome to donate to me
lovely! there you are buddy!
gonna get to it manana..
outstanding... the auto rotation might make TW usable... Who knew
It's now possible to auto-rotate TW?? So far the only time I've seen that is when I have it docked.

I seen the xmls that were edited in this mod. I didn't theme my services jar so i think I could overwrite that. Just trying to incorperate into theme (at least personal) because stay awake is needed to use an app Creator though ask
I PMd you also about it, just let me know either way buddy.

So I have a problem I hope somebody will be able to answer for me. the slide down to answer on sense roms absolutely drives me crazy. The main reason i use sense roms is for the dialer. Have been using CM7 for quite a long while but hate the dialer with it. Tried MyDialer and it is ok but not really feeling that one either. Is there anyway to change the pull down to either tabs or rotary like in CM7?
Look through the different ROMs... Some of them have alternate lockscreens... Check out incredibly re-engineered 2.4
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I'll take a look at it although I have a feeling its not going to have what i'm looking for. The regular lock screen I don't have a problem with but the phone call answer screen out what I haven't been able to change.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
if you want to stay on CM, you could always try go contacts, which is as close to a sense dialer as possible
That will work. Thank you.

Try EasyAnswer. It offers you two buttons to choose from.
One great thing I love about the E4GT, is the ability to slide to open new message, missed call, etc. Now, I am from a Cuban family, and Cubans tend to be pretty nosy sometimes xD, and force of habit makes me put a pin lock on my phone. Whenever I do, I miss the ability of the TW4 slide to unlock, and the slide to notification. So just wondering if there was a way, could a dev make a file to put in somewhere on the phone to bring back the slide to unlock before the password, or incorporate this into a ROM? Just a suggestion/request.
And if someone wants to take this further, maybe incorporate a way for sliders to pop up for push notifications?
I'd do this myself, but I'm no dev.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
huh..wtf..wow
So you have nosy people in your life and you want them to have access to your messages, but not any other part of your phone???
No no no. If you put a password lock on your phone, it will disable the standard swype to unlock, which includes the slide to open notifications. What I'm asking/suggesting is to somehow make it so that enabling the password lock will not disable the swype to unlock.

I would also like to have this ... my company's security exchange server protocol requires a pin to unlock my phone, I would like to have the "swype to unlock" screen before I get to the keypad where I enter the pin.
I've been asking for this and same notification volume level as ringer volume level lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You can easily just do this with Widgetlocker. Just install it, download SGS II theme and set the security pin. By doing so, when unlocking with widget locker it will take you to the security pin screen instead of unlocking your device.
Give it a try.
MiLocker is another free one.
In still confused on the part about your noisy family...

Thanks, I've actually already tried it, but there is a nice considerable battery drain, ontop of no more slide to notifications for texts, etc. , which is one of the main things I want.
I actually tried widgetlocker and had it on rotary, and one of the slides opened my inbox, but it always opens somewhere to the middle of my conversations, never to the top, and never to the new message like the standard loclscreen does. And the battery drain was wayyyyy to much.

It may seem inconvenient to you, but I spend all day sending text messages back and forth, and look the difference in steps.
As it is now:
On> Password> Home button out of any application I was on that wasn't messages> Tap messages> open the new message.
Now, after what I'm requesting/suggesting:
On> Slide new text slider> Password and bam! I'm at the message.
Huge timesaver for people who send text messages back and forth through the day.

I'll try it all. Foodie for life.
So I have an idea for a lockscreen but im not sure what to do with it... share it for a dev to find and possibly make? Or learn how to create it myself.. either way I havent a clue how to go about it... anyone have some advice?
can u share the idea i like to know
ok like a bunch of sliding blocks in from different directions that when you press and drag on them they can be slid away from screen.. and you "set the pattern" by choosing how many blocks and which blocks and in what order you have to swipe... so if someone for instance doesn't start on the correct block you can slide them around all day but it wont open... but if you swipe the correct say 3 in the correct order.. viola...
Instead of one constant motion like the pattern dots.. or a swipe lock screen.. you actually need 2 or more swipes...

No. That's degrading to his idea. He means more like playing the game "unblock me" from android market. But take that idea mixed with a lock-screen which i really like the OP's lock-screen idea.

I don't know how to code but the algorithm would be pretty simple
Assuming everyone starts with the same blocks in the same places
The specific combination of swipes would be needed to unlock the phone, dammit I can visualize this in my head but it's hard to put into words... I would also need to see what kind of layout u are specifically talking about, do u know how to code
