Can I add a Horizontal Slide to Answer Calls? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After moving from rooted stock I went to Cyanogenmod 7.1 which I really liked but I was having stability issues. I went to Legacy Classic which I find to be fast and stable even though it has Sense.
What I really liked about Cyanogenmod was the lock screen and the horizontal sliders to answer or reject a phone call. Legacy Classic uses the default Slide Down Lock which causes all sorts of problem when I take my phone out of my pocket.
I have been able to disable the SDL with MyLock Utilities and replace with lock screen with LockMenu. I now get the Answer and Decline Buttons as default, which also causes problems when I reach into my pocket to get the phone when it rings.
Is there an app that will give me a horizontal slider to answer the phone, like with Cyanogenmod, or is it possible to easily take whatever program from Cyanognedmod and flash/install it into Legacy Classic? I have my Titanium Backup and nandroid backup of my Cyanogenmod ROM so I can access whatever I need to from it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

There's a mod in classic themes and mods to remove sense lockscreen and give u the stock AOSP lock sliders which is what cm7 has. It will use the horizontal lock for lockscreen and to answer/decline calls

I run Fresh and was actually wondering the same thing. Could I.somehow integrate this into Fresh 4.33?

Thanks -EViL-KoNCEPTz- for showing me the AOSP Lock Slider in Themes. It is more elegant than the workaround I used with the apps.
I have the unlock screen I want but I still get the Slide Down or Slide Up option when a call comes in instead of the horizontal slide. I have not seen anything in the Market that will give me this.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried using tibu to delete htclockscreen.apk from the phone? It may change the call lock I haven't been on classic for a few weeks if I have time later ill nandroid and flash classic and take a look, which version are u on?

I am using The EVO Classic v0.0.5 - Sense 1.0 Redefined - Ecstatic.
I have not used tibu (Titanium BackUp?) to delete the htclockscreen.apk. Won't that only delete the backup and not what is installed on the phone? Also, what would the default phone screen be then?
If it makes any difference I am using Go Launcher instead of the Sense Launcher or even the default Gingerbread Launcher.
Thanks for any assistance you can give and I look forward to hearing what you have to say once you flash classic
Doc

No u can use titanium backup to back up and uninstall files including system files I use it to remove all kinds of crap when I'm customizing my rom you can also use a root explorer es explorer is a good free one and navigate to system/data/ app and rename htclockscreen.apk to something like htclockscreen.apk.bak and it will disable it since the phone will no longer recognize it as aa valid apk. I'm not 100% sure since its been a while but the aosp lockscreen mod for classic may have deleted the lockscreen apk anyways but I'd have to double check to be sure I've been trying to port the 3.0 lock and answer decline to 1.0 but it's been an exercise in FC's so far 3.0 and 1.0 frameworks are so different its difficult to mod it to be accepted by 1.0s framework
Sent from my iCS'd out EViL4G, soaking in a bowl of Ramen Noodles

Found in system/app was two files called "htclockscreen". One was 105.93K and the other was 734.85k using Astro. When I press on them I get "File type odex not found" and "File type tt not found" respectively. I am not sure which one to change if at all.
When I am home from work I will do a TB and nandroid backup before proceeding any further. I will also wait to see what you get.
Thanks again.

[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.

Rosie question

I am running SkyRaider 3.3.3. My desire is to remap Rosie so that the center button will open the root folder in App Folders rather than my usual app drawer. This is because I have a lot of applications and having folder organization in my app drawer is a necessity.
I have searched and found a lot of threads about remapping, but none that give clear, step-by-step directions as to what needs to be edited.
I am likely trying to get into a project that's way over my head, but I would love to give it a shot and noodle with it in my free time. I just don't know where to begin.
Also, I am aware that this exact modification went into Uncommon Sense, which I have used and enjoy, but I would love to be able to change ROMs at will without losing this valuable feature.
EDIT: In an effort to try to figure it out by inductive reasoning, I have looked at the logs to see what events are triggered when I press the app drawer button, as well as the action I'd like to remap to that button. I then decompiled SkyRaider's Rosie classes.dex with baksmali and started digging around. So far, I can find absolutely nothing that makes any sense, leading me to believe this project is much, much bigger than I anticipated. I did get a laugh from the "UserHappinessSignals" file (the name, at least). I almost expected to open the file and find a list of words like "smile," and "laughter."
Alas, that was the one ray of sunshine in this otherwise massive and hellish undertaking.
The saddest part of this whole thing is that this exact thing I'm trying to do has been done in another ROM (Uncommon Sense). Mapping the exact same app (I installed the same modified version from Uncommon Sense 1.1) to the exact button I'm aiming for. I know the answer exists, and might not even be that impossible, but thus far, I'm stumped. Further, I'm lead to believe that Rosie.apk isn't the only place I'll need to work; I hear also com.htc.resources?
Honestly, if anyone can help me out, I'd be much obliged. I have put forth a great deal of effort thus far, but I'm realizing that effort without guidance results in a significantly higher ratio of time wasted vs. productive time.
Bump, with clarification.
I don't need or want to change the appearance of Rosie. I just want to change the event triggered when I press it.
I feel that should be at least a bit easier than an extreme cosmetic overhaul. Still beyond me, though.

I have no idea how to change the buttons but I do know a cosmetic overhaul would be a lot easier.

Not sure if this is what ya want but look up app folder in the market
I actually already have App Folders. Now the trick is integrating it into my Rosie launcher. Which is apparently seriously difficult.
Oh well. I'll keep plugging.

I'm pretty sure I can get this working for you homie.
you need to be on a stock DEODEXED ROM. this is a must, I deodexed teh latest Nov OTA with no name completely stock deodexed. here is a link - http://www.multiupload.com/2KS0OS60DR
then what you need to do is either take uncommon sense's ROM rosie.apk or it's framework-res.apk. I think you just need the Rosie.apk, if you pull the rosie.apk from the uncommon sense rom you know has it, and make it into a flashable .zip to flash in recovery. I used this method for mynwarms rosiesettings.apk which allows you to pick the left and right rosie buttons with an easy to use app. its mad kick ass. but hit me up PM we'll get you going.
@kensikora:
The issue is that there are a couple of areas that need to be changed depending on how you want it to look.
The buttons, mapping of buttons and icons are in the Rosie APK. the App Drawer information is also in the Rosie APK (transparent, black, 4 or 5 rows). The look of the dock is in the resources (transparent, button look, traditional arc or straight line, ETC).
I am sorry if I missed this, but could you please let me know EXACTLY what you are looking for:
This is what I have currently:
Left Button - Phone
Middle Button - All Apps
Right Button - Google Voice
The dock it a traditional Rosie that is Semi transparent.
It is possible to create a flashable zip for the Rosie only that will assign your button locations BUT will take on the look of what ever ROM you flash.
EDIT: re-read 1st post. I belive I suggested you check out the EVO thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797688
if anyone can set up that center button to go where you want, he can.
The only change I really want to make is to have the center button open a modified version of App Folders instead of the usual all apps drawer, exactly how it works in Uncommon Sense.
I just really want to be able to try different ROMs instead of being tied to Uncommon Sense based solely on Rosie mods.

[Q] Re-Arranging Screens

Is there some way to re-arrange my home screens?
I am running a rooted, stock Sprint Sense ROM. The last time I flashed a ROM, I did not know how to back-up my home screens (still don't), and slowly re-built them. I couldn't remember exactly how I had them set up before. Now, I pretty much have what I want, but I don't like the order they are in.
Is there an app or trick that would let me re-arrange them? What about backing them up and restoring after a ROM flash?
Umm, you just long press each app shortcut or widget. Then you can delete it or move it. If you want to add something to a blank space, long press the blank space. Android 101...
I think he is referring to rearranging his home screens as a whole so that he doesnt have to individually move each shortcut/widget.
Unfortunately, I haven't used Sense in almost a year. So I am not much help in this area.
Mikg does this...

Press the home screen so that you see all the home screens. Then select one and HOLD. Then drag it and it'll rearrange.

No, I tried that. They dont move. At least not with HTC Sense.
Thanks though.

I know the 3.0 Ports will do this...don't thing the 1.0 does though, sorry.
i think with some of the home replacement apps like adw or go launcher you can do it as well

[Q] power control widget

For some reason my power control widget is not working. I can place it on my screen but there are no buttons in it for me to select. What is the stock apk? Looking to find a stock one that would work with EL30.
What rom are you running? I've had this problem before, but it's been a while. I use cleanGB mtd right now.
sent from my secret underground bunker
I'm currently on cleanGB and minimalistic black theme. But I also ran advance data restore when I jumped over to EL30. I'm not sure what the apk is for the power control. I need the name so I can pull it from a rom or theme and push it through and see if it will fix it.

This is a common bug. Do this....
Place the widget on your desired screen and restart your phone, it will appear, give it time. I have experienced this bug on 75% of the ROMS i've tried.
Also try fixing permissions if that does not correct the problem.
that worked. thanks!
Another simpler solution that I always use is just place the widget anywhere then turn on wifi from ur status bar and it'll bring up all the buttons

slide and lose icons

Somehow when I slide to switch screens or just slide to unlock, sometimes I lose icons in the lower "sticky" part of the screen. Recently, the phone dialer, messaging, and the app icon disappeared.
I've had this happen on GB and various ICS. Right now I'm using Apex on Dark Side Evolution from May 9th.
I have finally made a backup and fortunately was able to restore. But it's frustrating to need to use the dialer and it's gone!
What am I donig wrong?
Make sure that you are using darkside superwipe before installing any new custom rom.
If that method doesn't work try going into settings any restore it.
What launcher are you using
