Is it possible to have it open your texts in handcent from the epic unlock screen? Or any other SMS client for that matter
Nope but you can try deleting mms.apk and moving handycent.apk to system/app with root explorer

I think it maybe possible on one of the Gingerbread leaks if you use Maddoggins 8 unlock screens to program for example the 4 tab unlock to open a custom application which you could designate as handcent. That functionality does not work on EC05 though and it just force closes. I've not tried it with handcent though as I just use the standard sms client which it is already preconfigured for.
I'm on SRF 1.2 so that's not an option. Is pushing it to root actually a viable option? I heard that breaks mms
it might be possible with some smali editing
Just get widget locker,
it allows to customize the lockscreen however u want and it gives access to the notification pull down,
which is better then the tw lockscreen cause it can take u to what ever notification u want since its the notificartion pull down

I think he might be referring to the puzzle lock message counter and not the actual notification pull.
Cd's or tapes?

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Epic lockscreen, which you drag down to read unread messages. And he wants it to launch handcent instead of stock messaging.

Which would be the same thing as the puzzle lock. I was just bringing up that he didn't mean the slide down part, buddy.

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.

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.

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.
I just went from Cyanogen to Warm TwoPointTwo and I can't get the animations to go away.
I've tried taking off the clock widget, then putting it back on, UNCHECKING weather animations, and then removing that clock (since i dont want to use the HTC clock) and yet they still show up!
any help is appreciated!
If you are rooted and have titanium you can freeze them. Or just remove them altogether from /system/app
Did you go to display, animation check no animation?

Maybe you should try remounting rw and deleting HTCWeatherWallpaper.apk file? I think that's what it's for. It's the only wallpaper apk I have on my rom. I'd just try pulling it with ADB, then deleting it. If the problem goes away, then cool. If not, put it back as it's probably for something else.
Edit: If you need directions on how to do this, say so and I'll tell you.
Just remove the clock and manually add it back. When adding it back, uncheck weather animations.

Are you using Widget Locker? Cause that'll keep them on even if you turn them off on the clock...you turn them off in there also.

Nah. I'm just familiar with the concept of sarcasm. The OP clearly stated that he removed the widget, re-added it and unchecked weather animations. Then Rydah805 says to do the exact same thing. It's like he didn't even read it.
Help the OP not be sarcastic to other users. it's not a open party conversation. it seems the OP's problem lies in actually "freezing" the app. or just reflash the rom
there is a setting in one of the xmls that actually controls that... i think its in the rosie apk... but i cant remember off the top of my head where i saw it.
its in bool.xml inside /res/values/ which basically presets a bunch of values to true or false... what i think might happen is that the animations were set to "true" and therefore they go on, but for some reason it doesn't get changed... which is very strange cuz it should.
are u using Rosie or a different launcher... and if u r using rosie please let me know if when u try a diff launcher it still does it.
of course i assume u r using rosie cuz otherwise the clock wont work... but u also said u took it off and they still come up.
i dont have time to dig inside for the exact location of that xml... but i hope this gives u something to look into real quick.
You can stop the animation by touching the screen. When you press the power button to wake up the phone, touch the screen right as the animation starts. The animation magically goes away...stops. No big deal. If it still bothers you, just trash the HTC clock widget....download Fancy Widget from the Market and place the Fancy Widget on your screen in place of the HTC one. It also has the weather..no problem...no animation. It has a great clock. The BONUS is the replacement widget gets rid of that FUGLY flip clock from the 80's that HTC thinks so much of, but I think sucks...even on the newest version of HTC Sense that animates the flip as time goes by. This new one also sucks.

Lol I didn't. That should work though and since be did that and it did not work, it sounds like he should nandroid and wipe then reflash his Rom. It doesn't hurt to try. Do you want to disable animations in the app also?(when you click into the camera app.)

Wait.....so weather animations show up even with the weatherclock REMOVED?
Got two simple questions... Does we androids have this kind of app?
The sleep effects would look nicer in our EVO, do we have that app? What the name?
Other question was does exist other effect like the APP 3D drawer from Launcher PRO?

Turn on the 3d drawer in launcher pro menu/preferences/advanced settings then use 3d drawer. I turned my opening speed all the way down.
Check out a gingerbread rom(like cm7) they have a screen off animation.
On thing I want to point out is that they have the speed on that turned WAY up

Theres a bunch of stuff you can do for lock/unlock sounds. go to settings/sound and check screen lock sounds. Below is a tutorial to replace the stock unlock sound via root explorer(if you don't want to pay for root explorer you look up how to push stuff with adb), be warned though they don't work out as well as you would like. Like when I did mine way back in the yesteryear of summer/fall I got some stuttering about every 10-15 times i did it, which was obnoxious cause I had the star trek communicator sound.

I haven't seen anyone ask this before, so I figured it was worth a shot.
On the TouchWiz Lockscreen, when you have a new text, you can pull it down to see the message. Now, I want to know if it's possible to, instead of having it go to the stock messaging app, having it go to Handcent... is there any way to do this?
Thanks,

Sent from the Epic that bites.
I think you are talking about the pull down menu at the top that shows notifications - if so then you should only have to turn off notifications for the stock app and you will only get the handcent ones
the lock screen, I only get the handcent notifications - its not something that can be "pulled down" but you can set it to have the popup show and thats sorta the same - but its been so long since I used the stock messaging app the new design sucks and I stopped months ago when 2.2 came out the DK28 version and the messaging app was changed - I went to handcent and never went back - I dont know whats the matter with people but there is no reason why we shouldnt be able to change the stock messaging app back to the way it was before
if you are talking about the icon at the bottom of the screen - you can just change it with the handcent app
this is one of the major features in 2.2 IMO for these phones - the ability to change the bottom icons

He's talking about the Lockscreen. Like, when you get a new text, you can slide the unlock circle down to go straight to the new text, or up to just unlock. As far as I know, you can only do that with the stock messaging app, as it only appears if you have notifications enabled for it. It also is the same for missed calls.

One more reason to GO!!!! Go Contacts has Go Dialer included with works with any reasonable resolution (182-240) that LCD Density has on the Samsung Epic. Just replace the icon on your launcher with the Go Launcher Dialer and if you want Go Contacts and you are good to go. Go those of you who have balls of steel you can try a lower resolution but I won't I don't want to mess my phone up and have FC issues. I am happy I tried go launcher I am even trying go SMS and I have discovered it is way better than the stock SMS. But I will keep the stock SMS for MMS purposes. Since I heard that you need the stock SMS to send MMS messages. Plus I have a modified stock SMS that sends picture that are up to 5MB in size. I am happy I found the solution to my problem without have to create a theme which would take hours to do!!!
You'll need to contact the Creator, its apparent it doesn't fully support your choice of ROM
some info here -> Epic
Custom theme for smaller screen density.

I click on the link and read all through the post another person goto it to work for their epic too. I have no problem getting it to work on my Samsung Epic. It works great for me. It works great just the dialer look funny. Can somebody create a flash-able dialer for this screen density or even a theme for this screen density.

That is cool I remember the touch pro 2 had a dialer file that you could alter and resize for different Rom builds. I was just wonder if you could do the same thing with android?
That would relate to the dialer.apk probably. Less then the whole "android os" itself

Some people can change the look of the dialer, color,
appearance, etc. So it is possible it is just having the know how and most importantly the time to do it.
I asked a similar question a while ago and got zero answers.
I'm suprised more people are not into changing the dpi of their screen. Default is annoyingly large.

Yeah I hated that. 180 worked fine on 2.1. There needs to be a way to edit the Dialer.apk so the graphics show up normally. The same thing for the camera app.
How can we get people to like LCD Density.

If we can get enough people using LCD Density. Maybe somebody will make a theme for it that is between 182 and 186. If one of the themer can fall in love with is program we might have a chance.
I'm definitely looking for an answer to this also. Would be awesome for one of our devs to implement. Maybe if we shoot a pm to one of them.

Try Go Contacts with has a Go Dialer included it is free.
I found the solution to my problem. The program I use is called Go Contacts which has go dialer bundled with. Download on free application and get the second for free. You can't beat that deal!!!! I am also using go SMS. I wanted to go all GO but I like the launcher on Launcher Pro Plus better than Go Launcher EX. But that can change if the widget were more like HTC and if it had a scrollable dock.
