I like the slide unlock feature, but I would like to change the secondary (camera) option. Any way to make it a different app?
Yes and No.
Yes, if you are rooted, you can use a custom ROM that permits this. I am a CodeName Adroid user and you can set multiple 'targets' on the lockscreen that point to whatever app you like. You can also just change the one camera shortcut to point to something else. I am sure that many other ROMs allow for this too!
No, if you are not rooted. I'm not 100% sure on this, but there are no apps or command lines that allow you to change it without being rooted first!
My advice? Try CodeName Android as a new ROM. It's awesome!
Bummer. Thanks for the info!

you can use widget locker to do this, but it replaces the lock screen.

I hate the slide up to ignore, down to answer "feature" of the EVO.
I'm rooted, and make whatever change needed. It drives me crazy to pull the phone out my pocket and realized I already answered the call w/out seeing who it is, or ignored on accident.
Please assist!
Do search for vanilla lockscreen.
I have it running on Fresh 3.1.0.2 as an update exclusive to Fresh, but I think others have it on other ROMs.

Widget locker is a good one. You can customize the entire lockscreen to your liking. You can even have up to 8 sliders with whatever action you want assigned to them.

Widget locker doesnt appear to change the swipe motion required to answer the phone? And I have the vanilla lockscreen - but that also doesn't change how you answer the phone, it just changes how you unlock it.
Am I doing something wrong here?

There should be a setting in popups I believe. It lets widget locker handle an incoming call. Go to settings then popups.

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.

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.
Is there anyway to change this, to a slide bar or something?
Just come from a HD2 running stock desire rom and the current SGS2 one seems a bit...naff in comparison.
Try widgetlocker. Slide to unlock plus slide to any app

WidgetLocket works perfectly and when activated stops the default locker from appearing.

Perfect, thanks
Adding the stock lockscreen is very complicated, requires editing of the framework.jar and android-services.jar aswell as framework res.
I will begin work on it once we have fully functional deodexed rom

Do you think you will be able to do it? Really don't like using bolt on lock screens like widgetlocker.
Depends how similar to the origional sgs the java files are. That's the complicated bit. Waiting on cwm for backups and deodexed rom, then work will begin

If you haven't given widget locker a go yet I would try it.
It's even better if you've rooted and increased your lcd density somewhat (192 seems good to me). I love being able to unlock straight to SMS, Email & camera, while being able to use torch mode without unlocking too... etc.
The old lock screen is still on in the background. Sometimes it flashes up when I unlock. Is it a bad idea to disable through Widget Locker?
I love widget locker, but I'm finding it a pain - my home button first start bypassing it, then when I figured that fix out, hold it down still activates the task manager grr
WidgetLocker is great - I've been using it for about a year but only found out the other day that you can get custom themes for the sliders, and because they're mostly just zipped up image files it was relatively easy to customise.

This is the 5 second problem. It's discussed in the Widget Locker documentation (and in the settings menus too).
If you root your phone you can get rid of it once and for all. Otherwise Homehelper is supposed to maybe help, but I never managed to completely get rid of the system lock screen till I rooted as you can't override the 5 second thing.

Okay. Planning on rooting my advice so may try that. Cheers. What is home helper? Do you mean root helper?
Widgetlocker on my O2 branded unrooted SG2 worked perfectly. However, now I have rooted it and flashed the unbranded firmware the home button overrides it meaning just pressing the home button twice unlocks the phone.
Anyone else with this issue? I have checked to make sure the option to allow the home button to unlock is unticked.
Edit - Ignore me, forgot the Homehelper needed to be set as default.

DO you think it would be possible to add Cyanogen's unlock screen (with rotary unlock and stuff) or would that be even harder ?
I would love to see the AOSP lock screen pop up on the SGS2.
my vote is the puzzle unlock from some sgs models.

That one is built into Widget Locker if you don't mind using that. Given the power and battery life on the phone I'm quite happy to do that. Although my resource reporting apps show Widget Locker as quite a hog.
I hate the Widget locker icon in the notification area. It makes me sad.
Hi,
As I use a PIN to unlock my phone, I'd like to remove the ring lock screen.
I know how to do it in CM7 but can't find it under ICS...
I'm on Leedroid ROM.
Thank you.
You can't without replacing the lockscreen for an alternative
Hasn't LeeDroid tweaks got an option to replace the HTC lockscreen with the standard ICS one?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
any luck?
Even I am annoyed with the round unlock screen.. is there any way to change it to stock ICS (or anything else) ? I am currently on the untouched Stock HTC OneX ICS
Anyways for this?
I'm fairly sure the lock screen is unchangeable on the stock ROM, custom ROM's there is usually an option to use one of the many ICS lock screens and in some cases lock screens from previous versions of Android. As for LeeDroid I'm not too sure as I have never used it, but in other ROM's the setting is usually found inside the ROM Control or ROM settings inside the settings menu.

What custom ROM's are you talking about that have options for the lock screen?
I know that the MIUI ROM uses a different lock screen, and if you don't want to use the entire ROM, you can use the MIUI Launcher app to add it to any ROM.
I too would like to simply disable or remove it somehow if at all possible.

Just got the Nexus and I guess I'm just used to being on gingerbread for so long. I used to be able to see the unlock slider option and I had the choice between Unlock/Camera/etc. I can do this now, but when I do, it just unlocks. No security at all. If I set a pattern/pin/pass it just goes straight to that and completely bypasses the slide to unlock option. I'd like the option to unlock directly to my messages, gmail, camera or Google search. So I'm looking to be able to see the normal swipe to unlock with the 5 or so different options and then be taken to my pattern screen to confirm. I googled this and the only way I have seen people "fixing" this is to install third party applications such as go locker or widgetlocker, etc. I am wondering if there's a way to do this naturally on a system level without downloading an app?
Model: Toro
ROM: ParanoidAndroid JellyBean
Kernel: Francos kernel

Possible? Very likely it is. Has it been done yet? Not that I know of. All I have ever came across are apps like Widgetlocker.
