Hi all,
I'm not a fan of the powerbutton on top of the desire so I'm looking for a way to create a shortcut to put the phone in standby...
Anybody any idea how this can be done (e.g. using the "make your own" feature in bettercut)
I've found something called intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF but I have no idea if this can be used
Cheers
B
I'm interested too. Anyone?
Make that 3. I would be interested in any kind of app that would allow you to put the phone into or out of standby. The power button is kind of annoying in my opinion.
How about Lock Screen Widget?? its on the market
Payed app? Can't seem to find it on the free market.. does this put the phone in standby or does it just lock the phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Its definetly on the market(just checked), and it says "lock your screen with one click iPhone style"
or u can just press lock button on top of the phone
u mean: "lock screen widget", its on market for free =) i use it too..very fantastic app
ok think I'm going crazy... still can't find it on the market, can someone post the apk (if it's free)?
when I scan the link on appbrain I also can't find it
http://nl.appbrain.com/app/com.droidmania.lockscreenwidget
cheers guys

Lock screen Widget , fantastic .Just one tap on ICON on screen , the screen is locked .
ok just found out why I couldn't find this one, apparently it's for 2.2, I'm still running 2.1
cheers
b
anybody any solution for 2.1? I don't want to upgrade to 2.2 yet...
cheers
B
Try LOCKENABLER. Despite this application has 6 second count down before dimming the screen, it perform similar funcation as LOCK SCREEN WIDGET but works for 2.1.
Lock Screen Widget is the best way to put the Desire in standby without pressing the switch hardware button.
doesn't work in combo with widgetlocker... anyhow the delay doesn't do it for me, any other options?
right beside battstatt is lockscreen widget, but with invisible icon
just mark it for you with launcherpro+

as I mentionned this one only works on 2.2, I'm running 2.1 so I'm looking for a solution on 2.1

I guess 2.2 is worth the upgrade if you want to use your phone features to a new level, and a lot more apps. Plus, with the forthcoming release of Gingerbread, 2.1 will be (almost) let down.
f.
well my 2.1 is running perfectly - not a single thing bothers me - and I've read people having issues with 2.2 so I'm not sure about upgrading at this point

1st of all, sorry if this doesn't belong here! Seriously, i am sorry for that but i just had to get this idea out for all the awesome Developers out there
Ok, so everyone right now is problaby using the standard lock screen or Sterricsons Lock screen.
They're both almost alike just a different look (oh and the new features you get with S. Lock screen like the music and battery life) so how about making one thats more....active i guess you can say...
Is it possible to make one somewhat like the iPhone (sorry for saying that ) but instead of sliding the little bar sideways, how about sliding it up.
For example: Looking at the picture below is a Hero Lock screen, how about having it look like that and then sliding it up to bring up the home screen? i think that would be awesome!
Anyone agree?
Any ideas?
Is this even possible?
So yeah, just an idea, thank you for reading and sorry if posted this in the wrong section!!

you need to try the pulse rom then, it has a lockscreen you unlock by flicking up on the screen, its pretty sweet, but in the end, a lockscreen is to keep your phone from doing too much on its own without your interaction, don't get me wrong i LOVE and thoroughly embrace stericson's lockscreen, i can barely use a rom that doesn't have it.
search the market for lock 2.0 - theres your iphone imitating lock screen..
HOWEVER i would love to see some savvy hacker make us/port us the hero lock screen to CM builds........ prob gna be difficult with it being tightly linked with sense ui... howver do it... and it big donations from me
I want the Pulse lock screen...that sh*t is sexy.

I tried the Lock 2.0 but it really doesnt work...you cant see your notifications and is somewhat slow.
But thanks, i'll check out the Motorola blur right now =) and yes! I hope someone develops this =)

Isnt the default clock widget meant to flip the numbers over, (so they flop down, hinged in the middle of the number?) like when the time changes?
This is what it shows happening on the TV advert for the desire.
Yeah you're right, whats the point in the look of it if it dont do dat?
Anyway I never used the big clock, I have a couple of little ones for my country and the country of my girlfriend. The 5th one along when you choose from the HTC clock faces, top right in the attached pic.

Quite right, i had to stare at my phone for a minute but it' strue, it doesn't flip. That said, coming from a Touch HD i can tell u that the clock flip was a huge performance drainer and a big problem in all roms. It took the devs quite a wile to be able to disable it so i can only guess this is the reason! No biggie!! i've had my desire for a while and hadn't noticed!!

HTC removed the flip animation back on the hero during a firmware update and haven't put it in any versions of the Sense UI since.
ah thats a shame, im sure the desire could handle it.
its just a bit misleading that in the tv advert it quite clearly makes a point of the clock flicking over

Yepp they removed it I am REALLY glad that they removed it, it is also on Sense 2.5/2.1 on WinMo too..and man that is annoying(it is cool first 2-3 times)..tnx God we have XDA who disabled this in WinMo
it lasted about 2 seconds on my phone then I got pissed off with it and deleted it.
JAmes.
this may sound like a silly question but how do you customise the clock? i'd like to try out other versions but cant see the menu settings to do it..
cheers,

Just remove the clock widget and add it again. When you add it you'll be asked which clock type you want.

Yep that was so annoying. Glad it isn't on the main clock any more, however all the other clocks jump back to 12:00 and animate round to the time randomly. Hate it.
I DO NOT want a lockscreen on my HTC EVO. I already uninstalled the htc lockscreen then I was left with a transparent vanilla lockscreen that you slide from left to right. I dont want any lockscreen. please help.
Did you perform any Google searches at all? I found this in, literally, 5 seconds:
Bye Bye Lock Screen
all of these no lock apps work only half the time, so I'm so tired of dealing with lock screens. I have already used no lock app, and it worked 60% of the time then my lockscreen kicks back in. just want to uninstall all lockscreens even the vanilla one
Switchpro has a toggle that disables the lockscreen. It's in there as "auto lock screen". Works just like it's supposed to.
so I dont want to use anyones half working apps to block my lockscreens. I want to literally go into a file on my evo and uninstall all lockscreens, HTC and Vanilla
Switchpro works great and works 100% of the time.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Go get a flip-phone.
No, really, I'm dead serious. Go get an old flip phone and use that.
well this sucks

lol.........lol
You would probably have to decompile the framework and find the file.....probably the services.jar file....but that's just my guess.
come on I know some of you are tired of having an app that trys to block your factory lockscreen only to have it kick back in sometime. For example if you have LockBot pro lockscreen running, it does a ok job trying to keep your factory lockscreen not to kick in. So I just dont want any kind of lockscreen running. that way my lockbot pro can run without any issues

this has been hell for awhile now, all people keep saying is to install some half working app from the market...everyone of those dont work all the time, I've test just about every one, and my factory lockscreen shows its ugly face after a while
Like I said...No HTC or Vanilla lockscreens... this is the vanilla lockscreen I'm talking about that kicks in after the uninstall of HTC Lockscreen I'm left with this:
and dont have Tmobile I have sprint this pic is the only example I can find of the vanilla lockscreen

Yeah, It will require some code editing. I don't believe that there is a simple uninstall. Try decompiling the services.jar and see if you can find the lockscreen call.
No Lock app from the market, works like a charm.

Are you running a task killer? That could be killing the lock apps.

I have a G2, not a DZ but it's running Sense (Virtuous 7.2)
I figure I'd find more Sense expertise over here (until the merger makes it a moot point )....
Anyway...
I was messing around with Launcher Pro and Widget locker. Decided I wasn't a huge fan of either and uninstalled them. Now my lockscreen clock is gone.
I'm talking about the big widget one with weather in the top half of the screen, not the little one on the actual unlock slider.
I've spent the last hour going through every damn settings page I can find and I'm unable to find a setting for this.
Things I've tried:
Reboot - nothing
Switching scenes and skins - nothing
Clear Sense data from "manage apps" - nothing other than having to rebuild all my home screens
Things I have yet to try:
Restore nandroid from before - I'd prefer not to.
Factory reset - same.
So... is there some way to turn this back on? It's a small thing but I really like that widget on the lockscreen.

Yeah that's the one. I've removed and added it to my homescreen and that works fine, it's just no longer showing on my lock screen.
I've never had my home screen Sense clock showing on my lockscreen, just the time showing up on the Android slider on the lockscreen. Maybe I've missed an option though ?

Thanks all.
You must have added the HTC clock/weather widget to the widgetlocker lockscreen.. stock HTC lockscreen only has the small clock on the bar

Is there anyway to port this type of lockscreen to the Epic?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919121
I know that I can use WidgetLocker, and I've already bought it but I don't really like it. It seems to lag, like when i hit thte power button from standby, I see the original ASOP screen first and a second later the widgetlocker rotary pops up.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to address this?

you can get this on Cm6 but right not no devs are willing to do all this work then have to redo it when an official 2.2 is out

If you are rooted you can use the 5 second rule bypass on the widgetlocker advance options.
If you are not rooted then use the homehelper option in the widgetlocker options.
I use no lock with widget locker. It disables the stock lock but does cause a half second lag for the screen to turn on, which doesn't bug me as much. The lag could be caused by my widgets though, not sure
So does anyone know if someone has ported this to work with EB13 or any of the custom roms? I've used to on he CM7 Alpha build, and I was wonderinf if someone took the time to port it. I'd do it myself, but at this point I have little to no knowlegde with any of the languages used to program this stuff.
I'm not sure if this is allowed, but bump haha.
