[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.

[Q] Vanilla Dialer pickup action

When I get a call, the HTC sliding lock comes up to answer the call, I prefer the Vanilla android method of answering calls (as well as lockscreen) so I removed hte HTC lockscreen. Is there anyway to get the Vanilla Android answering tabs on a Sense ROM? I'm using the latest Virtuous Rom.
I'd also prefer to keep the HTC dialer and peopl app. But if the dialer must go inorder to get the answering method I'll drop it.

The paid app WidgetLocker may be what you're looking for
http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
EDIT: On second look, this seems to just modify the lockscreen, not the dialer action. Sorry

As far as I am aware this is not possible on a Sense based rom. You would need to use a AOSP rom to use the stock answering slider.

[Q] How to change incoming call screen - Sense

Hi,
I there any way to change the default incoming call screen, when the phone is locked? The problem is that when someone calls me, and the phone is in my pocket.. the process of taking it out often involves reject or answer, while the phone is still in the pocket .
I've tried some dialers, but it seems that this is a part of htc sense.
If i can divert to standard android behavior it will help too .
Regards

Tried the App; Full Screen Caller ID ?

Yes I tried it, but its not a replacement of the default call screen .

same problem here!!

I think you have to use an other phone.apk or dailer. Then remove the htclockscreen.apk.
I wanted something similar. Just remove the htc stuff and use as only lock screen the unlock' pattern and not the htc or stock lockscreen!

I got same problem here.

Likewise, upon searching for a solution... none is found... I would very much like to use CM roms but i miss the Sense T9 dictonary... thats the reason i used Leedroids... if only cooked roms are able to change the HTC dialer to the stock ones...

There are dialer apps in the market with t9. Use one of those with cyanogenmod.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I don`t understand why Google didn`t implement t9 dialer already :/ Are there any patent`s for this? :/ Stock Android dialer sucks! aTakePhone is the best so far as I know (apart of SENSE of course )

I dont use the HTC lockscreen i removed it from the rom before install (using Revolution HD rom removed with RomCleaner)
I also removed the htcdialer.apk which does revert the phone back to the standard android answer screen (so much better imo) but your back on the android dialer and the main phone button on the homepage doesn't work either if you can live with that then just remove the htcdialer.apk.
I didn't use the phone to long without the htcdialer.apk so not sure if there are other issue's also...

Okay i did this but i must be doing something wrong...
I used Titanium Backup to remove the htc dialer ( i get repeated F/C for android core process)
Pulled out the battery.
After restart, pressing the dialer button/icon have no effect
Downloaded and used launcher pro, no effect either
downloaded Dialer one, docked it with launcher pro.. works like charm
BUT!!! When i called my own phone, im still getting that stupid HTC answer screen where u slide up and down instead of stock androids left and right...

Hmm i have been scouring the net and i seem to hit something...
If my searches is correct, the answer call slide screen is tied to the HTC Framework... Coz phones like Samsung galaxy in order to revert to the stock android lockscreen, they have to replace one of their framework files... policy something IIRC...
So wondering if any dev could look into the framework and do some editing/mods/changes?

hi,
I am having the same problem, really dont like the HTC sense screens but want to keep the stock rom as i get free turn by turn nav with my provider.
I have removed the lockscreen, so it revets to vinilla, but really want to change the slide down to answer screen?
has anyone looked into the last posed question?

It is incorporated into Sense.. No way to have a stock unlock screen and Sense ROM together...
U will have to get back to stock with scripts like "no-sense" and remove stuff from the rom after flashing it.. Or just install CM rom..
OR, this is maybe a walk around which i use it sometimes:
1. Install standard ROM with sense,
2. Install WidgetLocker
3. Set it up the way you like it
4. Choose an option to "hide the caller screen"
5. So, when it rings, you have to use the slider to unlock the screen, and then you have the sense slider (up to decline, down to answer)
This prevents to answer and gives you extra options when locked..
Hope this help.

I have gone back o Launcher Pro Plus and now instead of the htc sence slider for incoming call I get a green answer and red decline button to press.
It seems better to me but might not suit everyone.

I decided to switch back to Sence to see how things stood.
Low and behold I still have the same answer screen as I had with L.P. full screen, caller ID, and the two buttons red/green.
Don't know what I did wrong but I am glad I did.

I searched a few hours for a solution of this problem and finally found one i will try now.
The App I installed is called HD Caller ID and is free.
So for you, looking for a solution try this App. Maybe it´s good for your belongings.

[Q] LeeDroid Rom Sense 3.0 odd issue

HI Guys,
First post so huge apologies for any daft questions!
Before anyone asks I did try and search for the answer to this but with unfortunately no avail :-(
Ok, I am running the latest LeeDroid 2.3.3 ROM which is fantastic!
Today I added Sense 3.0 as linked on his page.
All is fine on boot and I'm presented with the new sense. However when i unlock the phone by moving the ring it reverts to my previous patten style unlock. This then leads onto my previous display/s.
The only difference i have is the way sms's are presented.
I can now see in the menu a category for lock screen has been added, but cannot seem to change any settings to allow Sense 3.0 interface to be running permanently?
I hope this makes sense to someone and many thanks in advance for any help i get.
EDIT* i have now noticed that it has the new alarm and incoming call interfaces.
I'm guessing somewhere within the software my old display needs ro be removed!
Regards
Rory

If you have the lock on in settings you can unlock with the 3.0 but you will always be prompted for the code.

Thanks for the reply!
I get that bit, but why do i lose Sense 3.0 all together? It is only there when the phone is locked.
I have just tried disabled the patten lock i had.
So now when i move the lock ring it goes straight to my old Sense displays?
Help.....

Hang on....
I'm not being stupid am I and that is all there is to this patch? Just the lock screen?
If so massive apologies!
EDIT* I doubt I being a moron
The weather page is different too, so it must be a software clash. Lee, or any other android gurus if you are reading this, any suggestions whatsoever as I reckon it is trying to run 2 versions of Sense?

You may find you have more sucess with this if you post it in Development section of the forum as they have much higher volumes of traffic/people on them.
Just a thought

ah i have problem with the weather on home page as well with sense 3.0 and using leedoid.

Maybe your getting confused about these Sense 3.0 add-ons with Sense 2.1 etc?
If you flashed Lee's All-In-One Sense Patch (as in my signature) you just have the Sense 3.0 lockscreen, mms, weather. Installing the Rosie 3 (3D) is just the Sense 3.0 launcher, it is not full Sense 3.0, but still 2.1.
Best to install everything after Full wipe all parttions, rebooting between flashes, do not resore system apps & data, make sure clear the relevant apps data as in SEO's thread, reboot, flash Rosie 3, reboot, restore user apps & data / restore market links, reboot CWM clear dalvk, reboot, setup gmail etc and homescreens (do this last)...... I think you get the drift

Cheers that make Sense
I was starting to figure out what was going on too, but the day i posted this was after a massive session of learning how to root, change radio/kernel etc with my phone and a gps issue...... my head was not quite on straight!
Your post hits the nail on the head. I indeed only have the 3.0 lock screen, mms and weather. As of course it should be!
How do you find Rosie 3D?
Btw. Our phones apart from Rosie3D are the same software spec.

If you've flashed the sense 3 all in one, you'll find the Rosie 3D link below it on Lee's thread.

No need to answer as I can see for myself...

If you haven't already, new lockscreen options found in personalize. You can assign shortcuts to the lockscreen from there as well.
Edit: if you slow down spare parts animations to normal, weather animation shows better after pressing power button to show weather lockscreen.

[Q] Remove Sense 3 Lock + replace with gestures

ok, I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756479 and there were some suggestions like the nolock app, wildpuzzle, etc.
I just got rid of cm7 and testing shooter's newest, and yea the 3.0 lock is slow and annoying, but rather than just removing, I would love the gesture feature that c7 offers. Is there any way/ app that can do that while not on the c7 rom?
I did search and haven't found anything yet.
Tnx

Since the lockring style lock screen is a feature of sense 3.0 and guestures are a feature of AOSP, you couldn't easily swap it out. Only a skilled developer(or group) could get this to work.
On another note, I did see an app that replaced your lock screen with one that has a gesture function...but I read reviews of it not being implemented well.
Sent from my supersonic using XDA App

There is an app (free in market) called no lock that works quite well for removing the lockscreen altogether.

I knew that back in the day on Sense 1.0 roms you could replace the Sense lockscreen with the AOSP one. I think you also had to switch out the clock so that you could dismiss alarms or something.
I never did this because I never run Sense, but I remember reading about it. I also don't know if it works on 3.0 roms, but it could be a place to start.
You could also try WidgetLocker. It doesn't have gesture support, but you can place sliders, shortcuts, and apps on the lockscreen. I know it's not what you're looking for, but it's a much easier solution & a nifty app as well.

Thanks guys. I used nolock in the past and the only issue is it does just that, it removes ALL security. So if I can't get the gesture, I would settle for a pin/pattern, etc. Even though I enable the pattern security, if nolock is enabled, it ignores that so it seems with a sense rom it's either ring + other security or nothing at all right?
Grrrr! Thanks
