Issue with display - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello all,
I am on calk's GB ROM.sometimes on the screen on and off animation the screen becomes very pixelated.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Is it possible to change the lock screen?
Also does anyone have the gallery apk they can upload? I deleted mine and can't change lock screen wallpaper.
Thanks in advance!

Follow the instructions in his op in the forum and re flash, and I wouldnt use 3.0 its stability either seems to be hit or miss, and to change the lock screen /statusbar/blah blah, go to the themes and apps and looks for maddogins tsm parts mod, good to the lastish Page and look for the el29, its close to My posts, no I dont have an gallery apk either but theirs bound to be one floating around.. Or just re flash your calls to fix the CRT and it should give you another gallery alk you need

Trouble with unlock screen

Had this phone for Two days now and LOVE it. Way better then evo 3d I had. Only issue I have is I struggle to unlock it every time. Maybe the size maybe the touchwiz screen. Either way it makes me crazy. Anyone make a suggestion of a different lock screen that is stable and won't mess up the excellent battery life.
Btw I have no interest in rooting but don't mind buying an app if needed. Also I have no issue with other parts of touchwiz just the lock screen.
I use widget locker. You can set that up any way you'd like. I have the stock aosp lock screen. Does wonders.

Widget locker allows you to customize the lockscreen with a ot of different options. So the AOSP lockscreen is when you slide the icon across to unlock you phone. It is Androids stock lock screen that ships with Android if Samsung or HTC wouldn't add their own.
Agile lock is pretty good too. It gives you a lockscreen similar to sense 3.0

I replaced my stock lock screen with widget locker and haven't experienced any problems (including battery life). It could be that people using widget locker are placing battery intensive widgets on their lockscreen.
Yeah I haven't had any problems with battery life or any slow downs either. This phone handles the battery and speed well. You can set it up however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can even download themes. I just like it so much because I don't have to use the original lock screen for our phone.

Thanks again! I downloaded and have been playing with widget locker and love it so far. Only question I have is ... Is there some way to get rid of the icon in the notification bar that shows widget locker ongoing. I keep thinking there is something I have not checked and it kinda bothers me. Tried to find a setting to get rid if it but no luck. Thanks again

App to No lockscreen??

Anyone know of a good no lockscreen app that really works at all times? I tried using the no lock by BoD in market but doesn't work all the time. It worked good on my G2, G2x it was working good either... Now with sgs2 either.. And also, doesn't touchwiz suppose to have the puzzle unlock, or is that other version or carrier version or overall a different lockscreen?

Go Locker.
Might as well install GoSMS and Go Launcher too while your at it.
Touchwiz does have puzzle lock. Go to Locations and Security in the Settings -> Change screen lock.
Haha yes I agree install Go launcher as well
I meant, the puzzle as to actual puzzles being put together to unlock.. Not the connect a dot

You can see in this video the puzzle unlock, I thought touchwiz had it..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
That video is the Galaxy S not S2.
The S2 only comes with either dots or keypad.
Buy it's regular lockscreen, no password or pin needed, either way I thought it came with touchwiz.. Because the simple lockscreen they made sucks. Looks like sheet of paper to slide off and unlock and I do not want to use 3rd party app

Hi,
You can disable the lock screen without any app if edit this file /efs/imei/keystr with HexEditor. open the file and there is vales 4f and 4e that gives you the ON just change the 4e to 46 that will make it OF. save the file and reboot. that will disable the lock screen.
samsung needs to release a patch to address the lockscreen disappearing bug. It is too easy to bypass the lockscreen pin or pattern draw. I want to get this phone but might try to hold off until this is addressed.

I use a replacement lock screen app called widget locker. As someone who hates the stock lock screen I can't recommend it highly enough.

I worked around it using the ICS theme. That cleaned it up. Very nice theme by the way. That black font over the white date was pretty ugly.

Actually I own W.L. but removed it a while back. Some of these apps make a simple thing into a complex operation. It just had too many options to keep track of.

Old TV/ CRT lock screen animation

Anybody know how to add a lock screen animation without using a third party app? In referring to the old TV/ CRT off animation.

for almost all the Galaxys Samsung likes to remove that.. not sure why, i think it takes that hint of "wow" away from the phone.
I know for sure the CM9 rom's have it, and there are some other roms out there that will add it.
I know right now that CM10 does NOT have it, but i am sure that will come in time.
CM9 is the way to go, its like living on the edge with a saftey net .. (stable and better then stock)
I would very much like to know this. I have wanamlite installed and does not have this feature
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure nuns rom has it and so does mine you can check those out

I know DietICS has this feature and KyanRom has it as an apk add on. I'm not sure if winam has a flashable apk or if there is a universal apk you could use. I personally have Kyan and love the CRT off animation. It brings something unique to the phone when you shut it off, rather than a default delayed screen flicker.
It worked in LG1 and it is flickering in LH1. So I skipped adding it.
Yes please, bring it on, I'm also looking for it!
All the guides Ive seen required decompiling system.apk and modifying the services file. I on the other hand have no wish to install a custom rom or custom recovery just stock rooted with crt off. I saw on another thread someone mentiong a flashable zip for kyanROM, anybody confirm that it works on stock? Especially the Rogers LAL1. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Still no flashable zip to do that?
n e progres ???
