First, wrong section. Second, what did he do?

first, I suggest to drop it right here.
Second, OPEN SOURCE is what it means, people can use code from anyone and make it better, if not, lets just all jump the ship to @pple or Micro$oft and end of story.
People are over reacting about copy - past - modify... I'll tell you something, if I were a Dev and someone uses my code for anything, I would feel pleased and happy because that would mean that what I have produced is helping empower others in their quest for knowledge.

As long as they have permission, give credit and It follows the rules of the forum.

In my opinion I say yes as long as the other developers don't mind. I think that is the whole spirit of android and open source. I I take something from someone else and change it and reuse it than that is my business. If I take something from someone else and don't change it but include it in my rom or theme than as long as the developer that created doesn't care than who cares. But that is just my 2 cents and I have no idea what the relation is to i3.

I know it's the wrong section they won't allow me to post in the development bc I'm a "jr" I'm for sure I think accusations that he was copying and pasting othera work

[Q] How to remove the crappy lockscreen?

So. I got my 5th android telephone now, Galaxy S2, and i absolutely love it. I have ofcourse, rooted the phone and removed most of the crappy samsung apps as most of them just seem to drain battery.
Its almost the perfect phone for me now. There is however one thing that remains and endless anoyance for me. Was the same with S1.
How on earth do you remove that redicilous lockscreen? Or change it to something else? I dont mean changing the lockscreen picture. Just replacing it with some other lock screen. Like the one that comes with HTC Desire and so on.
Just to be clear. I know how to turn lockscreen of. But i want to CHANGE it. I hate the swipething.

5th Android phone and you haven't heard of Market?.. Widgetlocker or who knows how many other options? Maybe post questions in the Q&A section also.
Sent from my HTC Flyer using vodka

You can try "widget locker" from Market and there is also an app "Agile Lock" that makes the same Lockscreen as its in Sense 3.0 (with the Ring and shortcuts).

Didnt know there were lockscreens on the market as i asumed you had to tamper with som root settings or something! And i never bothered to look for them on most of my phones as i were happy with them as they were... So sorry for asking you sour tard @nobnut !!
Thank for your suggestions stein81! ) As i browsed through your suggestion i actually found one i liked better!

Widget locker and Agile lock(currently using) are the best alternatives to stock lockscreen. But if you like to read your facebook n rss feeds then you might want tui try out the Flyscreen which is also free. There are other apprentices as well. But these are the best ones to my concern.

[TIPS] Samsung Galaxy S III: 15 Power User Tips

Hello members,
Every once and a while I come across an interesting article that is worth noting such as the article titled "Samsung Galaxy S III: 15 Power User Tips" over at PC World. There were some well not so known tips and great features that were listed in this article that wowed even me about the Samsung Galaxy III. Dont take my word for it, go over there and become informed. If you know of any other tips that were not posted, please do share the wealth.
Some examples are such as :
Save That Screen Retrieved from this article here:
"Take a screenshot. And another. And another. Taking screenshots with the S III is a snap—all you have to do is swipe the screen with your palm. So go ahead, take some more. And some more. And, well, you get the idea.
Other Android phones don't make it quite as easy. If you're using a phone running Android version 4.0 or later, you have to press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time"
Make the Phone a Flashlight
"Stop digging around your bag in the dark, hunting for your keys.
If you have your S III in hand, you've already got a flashlight. The Assistive Light widget—which you can add to your home screen by going to Apps, selecting the Widgets tab, and choosing Assistive Light—turns the camera's flash into a flashlight when you need it most. Some other Android phones have this widget as well.
Want to add the flashlight feature to your Android phone? Check out Tiny Flashlight + LED, available as a free download in Google Play."
Oh yes, here is a great one that I did not know of......
Wake Up in Style
Let's face it: We all have to get out of bed sometime. And what better way to face your day than to be prepared for all it has to offer.
Using the "Briefing" setting on your Galaxy S III's alarm clock, you can have your phone wake you by reading the time, weather and weather forecast, news headlines, and any appointments you may have lined up. To turn this feature on, go to alarm type in the settings menu and change it to briefing.
Not a Galaxy S III owner? Download WakeVoice from Google Play to get some of these features on your Android phone.
Regards,

A lot of those are pretty obvious now that the phone has been out for a while thanks anyways tho.

Bumping your thread isnt going to make a reply come quicker, you do realize people read more than just the first page of threads?
But anyhow, the answer is no. "Hold back to kill" is a ROM specific tweak. It is hard coded into android source code by CyanogenMod. I have however had an idea for "hold back to kill" app where the app listens for a Hold search broadcast, then kills the foreground app. But until someone makes something like that. The only way to get Hold back to kill is by flashing a CM ROM.

wow i do appreciate your answer. it's nice to see someone adding a littke A to the Q that actually has knowledge on what i was speaking about. nobody else answered because they mostly had no idea what i was talking about. and not to start an argument but I've takin your bumps not needed approach for the few years ive been here and im not exaggerating when i tell you there were many that floated to a back page to sit forever. most peoples idea is that the further back the post is either there is no answer or its an answer there prolly not going to have the answer for since nobody else has by that point. but trust me i see your angle. thanks for your reply and im gonna keep researching on this because I'm almost positive it can be added, it's just how much work is going to be involved and can i do it lol. thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

It can be added. Ive got it on my list of mods that i want to get around to adding here. Its a mod that requires decompiling a couple of apk/jar files and editing the code. It is one of the few that haven't been added to any of our stock roms so ill probably bump it up the list a bit. We shall see.

I dont think thats possible. Its a ROM source code tweak. As in the source code is changed. So far ive only heard of CM and MIUI Roms having this. Just google it, im sure if it was possible someone would have already done it. I mean it requires editing the complete layout of the settings window. Unless you just change a jar file to listen for the hold back and then have it kill it.
But if you know how to do it, can you share what files need to be edited? Ive seen this question pop up almost everywhere and even ROM devs say its only possible via kitchen. But hey you learn something new every day

I could swear ive seen it ported to other stock roms such as sense and tw. Been a few months since i last looked into it though. Gotta go to work so ill try to find the info for you later today.

It may have been ported. But they may have used a kitchen. Like I've seen stock ROMs have it but I've never seen a ROM without it get it added without cooking a new ROM. But I'll be hitting refresh awaiting the information! ^-^ thanks!

I beleive everyone deserves a chance.That being said i dont know what would be sadder.Having a dev promise stuff and not deliver,or having the chance we lost a developer because he was so quick to be judged.In my opinion the fact he added 1 new difference to a rom makes it different.To the developer.If you can change this rom like you said,do it prove them wrong.If you cant then its messed you would get peoples hope up.
