[REQ] puzzle lock screen - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can we get this lock screen!?
i love it.

i wanted it to..but i guess we just got to wait

yeaa i hope someone ports it over.

It's been asked for many times (try searching "puzzle lock"), and many times it's been posted that it's not as easy a port as one might think.

I really hope this happens!

This might be possible now since there is the source code out

Not really. Its part of touchwiz, which is still closed-source.

so y does all the other Galaxy S phones have it were u can pick whatever lockscreen u want from any phone..but we cant

Because they have a newer version of touchwiz

Didn't we get tw 3.0with leaked froyo?

[REQ] Puzzle Lockscreen from Fascinate.

I was wondering if anyone has ported the Puzzle lockscreen from the Fascinate to the Epic.

If you are talking about the grid where you put in a certain pattern to unlock the phone we have that, its just not activated by default. Its under settings>security....not sure the exxact pathway but its there

This is what he's talking about. I'd love to see the puzzle lock screen ported too. I wish I knew how to dev so I could do it.

I don't know how to port it but you can find it here at xda in the fascinate themes and apps section under the thread called (MOD) stock lockscreen and the file is enable_glass_lock. Also the captivate keyboard is there in update.zip format. Hope this helps someone maybe get the lockscreen ported over.
Hi:
Any word on this, or something similar? I have a Captivate, and after raving so much about how great it is, my boyfriend just got the Epic.
It's a great phone, but the lockscreen is very annoying. Does anyone know of a lockscreen replacement where you can swype in any direction like the Captivate, even if it doesn't have the puzzle aspect? I have found a couple of replacement locksreens, but they all seem to be iPhone style, slide to the side.
Thanks!

Any progress at getting this ported?
Or have any devs taken a look at this?
I want this so bad.
I am very interested in this as well. *fingers crossed*
I've tried a few times to no-avail. It seems while the remnants of the code are there, the full code is not. I'll look more into it after Official 2.2 releases. Until then, it would be quite pointless considering it would have to be redone for the 2.2 release.
Hey, any news on this? I came from an Evo Shift to the Epic a day ago.

its certainly possible to do it...you have to add the images to the frameworks and mod 2 jars i believe...we have 5 lockscreens on the fascinate courtesy of sbrissen...so it just takes some tinkering

Question From a n00b re: puzzle lock screen...

i know this has been discussed and there's probably a logical reason why we have not managed to get this to work yet on our epics ,still ill give it a mention. ive been digging into themeing a little and noticed deep with in our own
framework/framework-res/drawable-hdpi we have what appears to be that lock screen. (as well as the rotary one) also i noticed that in "schnowdapowda 's Erebos!" port, that within his ported theme , in settings/display/unlock screen it lists it as an option ...however it dose not work. now im hoping that someone with more knowledge of framework can answer my questions, is it possible to somewhere with in, "turn it on"?
if not im sorry for being a stupid noob and let the flaming begin
Yeah I was playing around with it today too. I couldn't get that to work either but mobile ap worked really well. Surprising what things are as simple as installing an .apk and what is framework-deep.
cd's or tapes?
If it was that easy to just turn on it would have have been done already
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
The Erebos theme Settings.apk is from the I9000 I believe. That's why it has this extra option for Unlock Screen.

Why TW based ROM's?

Hi, first of all thanx to all the DEV's that make all the beautiful rom's. I'm just curious why can't the dev's make rom's from CM7 build we have? They can make it better with their flavor.
No disrespect to any of the Dev's. Just wanted to know. I hate TW its killing the phones.

Actually there is a majority of people who like TW (I am not one), and its simple enough to throw away if u dont, so to say its killing out phone is a lil bit rediculous, also from my understanding (haven't used CM Builds l8ly) they change alot rom and kernel side to make it completely incompatible with AOSP/Stock FW, it would be alot of work to say the least, 2 CM7 IS ported I do believe, but still with bugs (ofc).
3 IF u want stock as possible u CAN download launcher2 or launchers developed from it.
4. There is very little pros that outweigh the cons (for me at least) to scrap what I've done and work from a new source, just to rebuild somebody elses and not really ever have it 100% the way u want, all devs code differently
And even though in my case I do like lookin through other devs work jus to see what they did, and maybe see my own swing on it or c if how they did something, but whether or not, the same thing remains, no matter the code, there's multiple ways to do it (usually) and something u do to somebody elses can usually have side effects xD from not knowing how they went about it that's simply probably y u see these roms geared from OTA sources and such is its way to.much effort to simply take a huge project like CM on and expect to get anywhere fast.
Not to say these devs ain't capable, just saying, u would need more then a few devs working on a base..
Thanx for the reply
TW is system wide, so changing the launcher it doesn't make it go away. And I know we have 2 rom's. I was saying why the dev's can't make the cm7 that we have better with their touch.

I never once said just changing the launcher makes it go away...
Its in the framework, ui, everywhere incl widgets that stock can only b used with TW..
But yet again, it is simple enough to get it out for the most part.
And the answer to ur question then is simple, didn't have needed resourses/sources for CM to add it directly, and devs here Probably have similar issues..

i dunno how is working perfectly for you cm7 for our phones has a bunch of bugs for once you gotta leave gps on all the time..... anything that the phone needs to do landscape basically makes the app foreclose..... bunch of games that make the phone be in landscape is either really buggy or fs instantly..... Doesn't let you record in 1080p video also..... im sorry but you are cutting a bunch of features that the phone brings just to say you on cm7 not 2 smart in my opinion

Agreed its just not an "everyday use" ROM I prefer my TW stripped tank I gut here lmao
Only gut golauncher as home tho... can't w8 for ICS (well, I can, not lookin forward to reworkin all this crap xD).. so usin tablet GUI looks so sick xD wonder y they choose ugly ass colors for stock.. h8ed the green n not big on new blue either..
Haha just found out today after lookin at some of my libs (Never clued in b4) android builds are goin alphabeticly:
Eclaire
Froyo
Gingerbread
Honeycomb
Ice cream sandwich
Wonderin whats next cant think of a desert or entree that starts with "J"
I'm guessing since people are working on ICS and CM9, nobody wants to waste time on CM7. It would be nice to have a fully functional CM7 ROM though.

I don't understand how come I'm not having any force closes? In landscape or in any apps. And I use the phone heavy. Plus you don't have to leave the GPS on all the time. Only when you have to reboot the phone then.

We don't have the source for the CM7 rom, so it is hard to improve it.

Agreed. Im fine with the jellybean lockscreen.
Galaxy S3 dandelion LWP in the Play Store works pretty nice and has the ripple touch effect.
There's also an app from the same developer called Water Drop LWP that let's you use your own pictures with the ripple effect.
I liked the whole idea back on the final releases of GB/Cyano where you are able to tap on any part of the screen and choose the options. JB Lockscreen is fine but I dont like it to be tied down to the bottom area only, maybe the S3 lockscreen appeals to me only because you can unlock from any portion of the screen, and that sexy water ripple perhaps One thing is for sure, you don't need no damned Quad core to get that. But what I would love, would be that sexy MyWater.apk from Asus Transformer. That LWP was the BOMB! But doesn't work on JB, sad.

We won't have too many ROM options, besides AOSP and TouchWiz, until CM10 is officially released. It's out for the international version, but only time will tell how long it takes to reach our version of the device.
If you want to take a giant risk, go ahead and flash ParanoidAndroid for the international version, but it'll probably hard-brick your device.

Hard Brick? If this were Wikipedia I'd tag that with [Citation Needed]
I agree it will probably make it non-functional, but I find it hard to believe it's something that restoring an original sprint partition wouldn't fix.

Maybe so, but I've heard stories of people hard-bricking their devices by flashing kernels made for different devices.
If anyone really wants this type of ROM, go to TMO GN2 forums and look at DaGR8s ROM. Or join #saurom on freenode. I asked if he could bring it over but he would rather have me maintain it but I know zero when it comes to modifying stock roms, smali, etc lol.

No offense, but I don't understand what you're asking. I say this because Android 4 is the same on phones and tablets. I have ASUS Transformer Infinity (TF700T) and this phone, and both are running Android 4.1. The difference are more device specific about screen size and particular hardware.
The mods I've seen are more about squeezing more functionality out the device, such a WiFi tether and mutli-app. They don't bring a more tablet experience than what the device already is in my use thus far.

Your cruelty knows no bonds. Making me search, LOL. Took me a while to find something that showed it. Most just videos on found on Youtube left in the ROM(s) in phone phone mode. This one showed it best that I was able find first.
But yes, I get it now. The sad part, only a few apps I use really have tablet interfaces. I like a similar interface across devices if possible. Although, it would be nice if K9 had a tablet UI. But I digress....
Haha sorry.
Yea I meam to me with 5.5 inch screen its more tabletized to me so why not exploit it more. **** if you advertise it as a "phablet" then why not send it with the optionm?!

I like the idea of picking some apps to use in Tablet form. NFL Game Pass has a good tablet app; but I believe it's designed for 10" tablets, not the small ones such as Nexus 7. I like Chrome's interface on the tablet over the phone as well.
I have the ASUS Transformer Inifinity. Needless, some apps are interesting with their user interface.
Unfortunately, most apps on Android are still designed for the phone interface. As Android tablet get more popular, we'll see design interface incorporate the larger screens.
At the moment, I'm just happy to have a larger screen so I can see without having to zoom everything.
I hear ya but im constantly in settings and everywhere else hitting the back button a lot. Would be nice to have it all on 1 screen. Im gonna try and port PA. I would of bought or stayed with my evo. I want to see just how far I can take this lil big thing.

Yea, the settings is a nicer setup on my tablet. Switching tasks is a lot faster too. I just hit one button instead of holding it down. But I like this phone's recent task list. It actually closes the programs. I really like the clear memory option too. Why they can't incorporate a clear cache, is beyond me, but something I would like in that menu area.
