(REQ) Altering of TouchWiz Lock screen - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I like the TouchWiz lock screen, how when I have an unread text, I can slide down and it goes to it.
My issue is sliding up to unlock, my hand isnt that big so its a stretch to get to the top of the screen. Is there any way to alter it so I can slide left and right instead of up and down. I like the Vanilla Froyo lock screen, but could care less about being able to slide right for vibrate. Maybe there is a way to remove that and add slide right for SMS inbox or unread SMS?

Assuming I understand your request, Widgetlocker does this. It's not free, I think it's like two bucks or something. Definitely worth it.
Widgetlocker gives you a new lockscreen that you can use instead of, or in conjunction with the android lockscreen. You can make custom sliders for it that do whatever you want them to or even get rid of the sliders altogether. You can also put homescreen widgets on your lockscreen.
It's awfully cool.

I was reading about it, just was hoping it was simple to write something or change a value from vertical to horizontal or something like that.
Basically I want the stock samsung lock screen just sliding left and right

Look in. the aosp lock screen thread for dk28, the post by raiderep is the final version, the o under two have minor issues

[Q] [Request] Vanilla Slide To Answer [DEVS PLEASE]

The HTC SENSE slide up and down is driving me nuts when i carry my phone in my pocket i either answer or decline the call before i even see who it is.....
Ive searched countless forums for a Vanilla Slide to Answer just like the Slide to Unlock/ringer Slide and with no luck have i come across such mod..
Can any devs look into this or possibly point me in the right direction thanks
I believe the slide to answer/decline is part of the Phone.apk tied to Sense. A possible solution would be to try the AOSP Phone.apk but i'm not 100% if it will work.

Thanks i'll look into that.....
Got the same issue and it also drives me nuts. Idiotic design.
I think you just use Root Explorer to delete /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk, then reboot. I've done it before.

nm the attached zip is just for lockscreen, not calls.
I was running Caulkins new rom and he has a different slide to answer lockscreen, so it can be done
Would really love to see this mod. The current design is absolutely idiotic. Cm6 currently had it. By just installing the aosp dialer does not give you this lock screen.

I'm tired of hanging up on people whenever i pull the phone out of my pocket, is what your requesting able to fix that?
I haven't found anything on changing the Call Slide to Answer Function without changing to another rom..... Would love to see a Signed or ADB Push way to do it to a Deodexed or Odexed Rom.....
Currently using the Newest OTA Odexed with Vanilla Lockscreen
Now if we could get a DEV to just make the Call Slide to Answer i and a few others would be very Grateful.....
But in the Meantime i will continue to search
Check out an app in the market called WidgetLocker. It replaces the lock screen and not only allows you to add widgets and shortcuts making the lockscreen a usuable screen, but you can select from sense slider, vanilla slider, iphone slider, and android rotary slider. It's the best app out there in my opinion.
Edit: you can set it to put itself in front of the call screen so that you need to unlock before you can slide to answer thus preventing unwanted answering.

I can confirm this does work but as the OP says, it's not ideal. If you try it out you'll see it's not all that elegant. Would be sweet if someone smarter than me could come up with a way to do it right.
If your rooted, go to Titanium Backup and uninstall the apk "htcsenselock". After uninstalled reboot your phone and you are in business. You will still have sense minus the annoying lock screen.
Edit:
Scratch that, it only changes the normal screen unlock...not the phone answer unlock.

Don't let this die!!
srsly! BUMP!
I hate this stupid slide up/down to unlock BS!
Guess no one can do this
yea this sucks man I either want to get rid of it or find out which file is it that you remove or edit so I can make my own slide to answer .png
This is one of the only reasons I've dropped my Sense roms and migrated to CM6. After using it for a few days and many hours of tweaking it with themes and widgets, it's nearly back looking like an HTC and not a G1 but with the super sexy vanilla lock.
Just delete HTCLockScreen.apk and you'll have a horizontal vanilla slider lock screen.

[REQ] Notification screen bottom

Hi!
I'm quite new to theming with the SGS and I'm a complete noob when it comes to Photoshop, my friends tend to laugh at me in class when we're doing sth in PS. I actually have a request, I don't think it's hard to accomplish, because of all the amazing things I've seen in this section.
Okey, here it goes, the default notification screen (that grey thing you pull down ), I'd like the bottom of it to have actual angles, instead of being round and to go to the actual bottom of the screen, so nothing but the notification screen (and the bar up top obviously) is visible.
I hope I made any sense and I'd very much appreciate if some1 would even consider trying to create this for me and/or others ofcourse.
Thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to mention this, I'm running on XXJPO for the i9000, current ROM is Doc's v7.5 if that matters aswell.

If you get rid of the bar at the bottom when it is fully open, how would you close the drawer?

.....possibly run your finger down the back of the phone?
He means the graphic at the bottom of the notification drawer when fully open which you can skin to be what ever you want... Just cause the image has changed doesn't make it's job change as well. There were a few (personal) themes I made that I removed it and gave the small illusion of extra space
Besides which the back button works just as well

PIN lock would prevent an honest person from returning my phone! Solutions?

Is there a way to add text to either the slide or the PIN lock screen? Basically I want to add a note saying "If found call (xxx)xxx-xxxx" I want the security of the PIN lock but if I lose my phone and an honest person finds it they'll have no way to contact me to return it.
I'm using Warm 2.2.
I tried Widget Locker but its too clunky with the PIN unlock. The banner hex-edit method doesn't have enough space. I'm considering just adding text to the picture I use as wallpaper but then it would look weird when I was actually using the phone. And there is no way I'm giving up my transparent clock for an opaque one to hide it! It would also show up on other home screens. I've returned many a phone I've found on the street and it'd be almost impossible with a PIN locked phone.
Thoughts?

On some ROMs it's possible to use a different background for the lock screen, you could try adding that in or seeing if Myn would be willing to do it.
WaveSecure can place a screen above your lockscreen. it does cost money, but that was the only solution i found when i was looking. perhaps Gingerbread will be of help when it hits.
you can look into Tasker. it may have an SMS based alert solution you could implement.
CyanogenMod has this feature built-in. You can put custom text on your lock screen.
CM: 9,001. Sense: Still zero.

[Q] Is there a way to lock" the home screen icons?

Is there a way to lock the home screen and other screen icons so I don't inadvertently drag them from one screen to another and then have to find them and drag them back? Maybe it's me, but I've never had this problem--at least not to this extent--with any other phone, but with this one it seems like a few times a day the icons that should be on my home screen are somewhere else and I have to go looking for them and bring them back. Is there an operating system trick to lock these a little better, so that I'd have to unlock them to move or replace them? If it can't be done via the OS, is there a simple app that could accomplish the same thing? I'm not looking for an app that let's me do all sort of customization or skinning or whatever it's called. I just want to put my shortcuts where I want them and have something that would help me leave them there.
Thanks!

Can you change the SM-P600 5.1.1 pattern lockscreen?

Hi guys, I have 5.1.1 on my SM-P600 stock not rooted YET, and I was wondering if it is possible to change the way the pattern lock looks like, it is terrible, it's small and located in the bottom middle of the display, and has an old theme, it's a downgrade from the 4.4.2 lockscreen. So I was wondering if I can possibly change it to look like 4.4.2, without 3ed party lockscreens. If there is any way please tell me, an xposed module, an app, a system tweak, whatever, please tell me, i'm truly disgusted with the new lockscreen type, I want the old lockscreen back.
I also would like to know, the only thing that really bothers me is the amount of time the lock screen stays on after I pull the Spen. It's only a few seconds.
l agree with the time out being way too short on the lock screen. 1 second isn't enough time. I'm also noticing since the update to 5.1.1 that the wallpaper isn't shifting properly when I rotate the device-in both lock and home screens.. It looks fine in landscape, but rotating it to portrait the image stays in the center of the screen, no longer adjusting to fill it, even the icons aren't adapting well to rotation. Not to mention I hate the camera icon being on the lock screen! l can't seem to find any settings to adjust these things. l really liked how well this aspect of the tablet worked before the update. Are there any apps that can fix these issues?
