I have spent the last week or so searching for a solution to my question, but I have yet to find it. In short, I want to replicate the 'famous' lock screen from the TV show "Sherlock". When unlocked, it looks like this: i. imgur. com/HihXp. png. When the 'sleep' button is pressed on the device while it is already alseep, it wakes to this screen, minus the letters 'SHER', with the keyboard open. I'm trying to figure out if it is at all possible to do this, rooting or no, without me being forced to effectually code a new lock screen. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Sherlocked Lockscreen
Might wanna take a look at this app on google play. Try searching "SherLOCKED Lockscreen". It's a working lockscreen by the way.

Having to stretch my finger to the power button at the top of the phone is annoying , was wondering if its possible to wake up phone using any of the buttons above...
Thanks in advance.
I already posted a thread on this. As it's my only real gripe with this phone. However there seems no solution YET. Someone suggested flyscreen but that was a full lockscreen replacement. Not what i wanted.

Couldn't find it anywhere, thanks that's my only problem too ....
Actually there is 3 threads on this now haha. No problem they are all called something different. I think this feature will be a major demand in a custom rom which isn't too far away
Is it possible to completely disable the red 'you failed' trail that is displayed when you fail at your zigzag pattern? i know my pattern...why in the name of god would i want to display the failed pattern? what is the possible purpose other than to allow others to visualize the baseline idea of your pattern that you deftly just mussed up? why not light up the 4 digits on your ATM keyboard so you can see just which digits you hit vs the ones you intended to hit?
There must be a way to disable the pattern lock visible line. with exception to the period of time allocated to setting and verifying of the pattern to be used...i would think it should never been seen.
There should be an option to "turn visible lines off"....It should be in the same menu as adding the pattern...

This only disables the green line while trying to unlock instead of the red fail line

Correct. I do not want failed attempts to be displayed on the device in a red line... nor do I wish to see the green line.. i have already made the green line go away.. now to hide there red one.

Install the latest CM rom tons of stuff in the pattern lock settings on that rom.

You might want to include the fact that a lot of stuff isn't working with CM.
such as no 4g.......
WiFi not working for everyone.
no HDMI
Why anyone would give up all that, to change the pattern lock settings, is beyond me.
Well if you don't live in a 4G area or don't use HDMI then why not. Personally I'm waiting for a stable version since I use my phone for my business so I cant be using a experimental version for everyday use.

LOL.
I too would like the fail trail to go away. I often miss the last one (because it's just a little bit out of reach) and it basically gives it all away, anyone watching and seeing the red line obviously knows which one I didn't hit.
I could obviously change my pattern so my thumb doesn't have to reach, considering it's also compromised as of late...
I am watching the CM6 development with great interest but am not willing to roll to a pre-Alpah release (according the first post of that thread). yes, i know it is working very well, but do prefer to wait for the RC1 to be available.
hi,
can't seem to find a solution to this via search since not sure what to call it.
this screen when the phone rings and you have go grab that thing in the middle and slide it in one direction or the other.....how do i replace it with almost anything else? can't stand it. at least if you could see before you grab that center thing which direction you are supposed to pull the thing.
i'm rooted and using liquid rom.
thanks
Uhh. Once you do it once, you know which way to go. Don't see the issue there lol. Do you get fumbled by the stock lockscreen too? Forget which way is camera and which way is unlock? Cmon...
I'm sure there are ways to replace it.
anyone helpful out there?

What exactly are you looking for it to do?
Gingerbread had slide right to answer, slide left to effectively stop the ringer and send the caller to voicemail.
ICS has the exact same functionality, and looks much more polished doing so in my opinion.
But I am curious, what is it you want to happen/see?
basically looking for just buttons to push...nothing to slide.
a couple things about me that the first smart*** "helper" didn't care to take into consideration.. just insult me...and thank you for that by the way! 1) i don't get very many calls. i mostly just use this thing as a computer so when i do get a call i don't always remember very well which way i will need to pull that slider and 2) i have 2 conditions in my hands which don't always allow me to "hang onto" that slider thing.
since, i found an app called "EZ button" which has 3 buttons that are displayed on screen when the phone rings. you either push the buttons or hold for a couple seconds. SO FAR...it seems to work in ICS/Liquid though it doesn't really mention being ICS compatible.
i will try out ACG as the prior poster metioned. i tried initially but it didn't appreciate that i have ads blocked so i have to edit the hosts file....in time.

EZ Answer looks like it does what you want it to do and more. It incorporates all of the other 'EZ' applications that cost 99 cents into one for I guess a good deal of $1.99.
EZTouch on its own looks like the standalone product you are looking for.
and
EZButton seems like another standalone product that does what you want to do, but also incorporates your volume buttons to answer by speaker or regularly.
Now whether each work for ICS and particularly this phone, I don't know. I see that you already tried 'EZ Button' so I'm guessing all will work, but I'm not 100% on that.
Good Luck.
From the time I've got the note 8, I've always been able to just take a screenshot and right after that it'd open my screenshot and i'd be able to edit it straight away (drawing on it etc.). However, for the past few hours now, that doesn't work anymore, initially it stopped opening the screenshots straight away but, it would show up in the notification panel and I'd click on it and be able to edit it like before. But now even that doesn't work it shows up in the notification panel and I click on it and it give different apps to open it with (paper artist etc.). Any suggestions? I haven't installed or uninstalled anything recently, I'm running the stock rom. I haven't touched anything to be honest but, it changed all of a sudden. Am planning of doing a factory reset, but I'd rather not. I'll be really grateful for any help.
edit:-ok, if I click edit it only opens with paper artist
I just a factory reset, but even that didn't help. Any ideas? Anyone please help, I'm desperate

How are you taking the screenshot? There are at least 3 ways to do it.

Hmm i had never thought of that, I had been taking the screenshots using the swipe screen method. I just tried using the s-pen and it worked like before. I used to take the screen shots like that before(s-pen) and only recently started using the swipe screen method. My memory tells me I edited the screen shots the same way using the two methods, but I'm pretty sure my memory's wrong. Thank you so much,this had me bugging out.
Just wondering, when you take a screen shot using the swipe screen method on your phone, does it let you edit like it does normally(using the s-pen) or does is bring up the choose app thing?
Anyway thanks non the less, much appriciated.

It just gives me the option to choose an app to edit with. Does not give me the immediate edit option like when using the S-Pen.

oh kk, thank you so much for the reply. Haha I did a reset for nothing, but it feels good to know that nothing's wrong with my phone. :good:
One s pen screen shot is immediately editable. . Same as on note 2

Hi guys, when i bought my oppo find 7a 1 month ago, i was searching for some tips and tricks on youtube and found out that you basically never have to touch the power button to lock or unlock the phone. Just double tap anywhere on the screen to unlock and double tap the home button to lock. This simple tip makes it so easy and quick to lock/unlock faster (really helpfull since it's a big phone).
Maybe you will find it weird, but it makes me love the phone so much more just because of that. I don't know if other phones does that? I am so used to this tip now that i always double tap as a reflex when i use my friend's phone from other brands and then realise that it doesn't work.
If you didn't know this trick, maybe it will feel weird for a some times to develop this reflex of double taping, but try it and you'll love it after some time.
I guess that nobody reads instructions manuals anymore...

Welcome to the forum. Did you also know that drawing a circle on the screen while the screen is off will launch the camera, drawing the letter 'v' will toggle the flashlight on/off
By going in to settings then about phone and tapping on android version 5 times in a row will bring up a cool secret easter egg from Google
