Hi,
Just wanted to know if there are any gesture unlocking mods a available for the One X similar to the blackberry 10
Sent from my Awesome HTC One X using XDA Premium
I am not familiar with the blackberry feature but I had a quick play to see if I could do this with tasker and secure settings but could not get it to work straight off. Does not mean its not possible, have a play if you have more time. Would be useful if it didn't kill battery.

I tried searching online but to no avail. I understand that such a mod would require kernel integration. But has anyone had any luck in doing that? Perhaps swiping through the 3 soft buttons below the screen?

Swipe to unlock (run through capacitive button to unlock) is quite commom.

I am VERY new to the whole Android thing, so I'm very sorry if this is a stupid question. But if I understand correctly what ROMs are, is there some way to download a ROM that will turn my DZ into the same OS as a Droid X? To make it look the same?
Thanks in advance for help.
As far as a ROM goes, someone would have to develop a port for use on the G2. It's certainly possible but probably not likely.
If you just want to make it look and behave like the X, there are home replacement apps on the market with more customizable options than the stock launcher. I use ADW Launcher, myself.

How do I use these launchers
Once it's downloaded and you press your home button, it will ask you which program you want to use to complete the action complete with an option to pick it as the default.
If you want to switch back and forth, there's an app called Home Switcher available on the market. I don't really use it since I know which launcher I prefer and just stick with it.
I like ADW but Launcher Pro is a popular choice.
Try a market search for Droid X theme and see if one of the luanchers already has a skin/theme to suit your needs. Otherwise, I think customizing it personally is the most fun.

Offtopic, but are you the same PHOY from Reddit?
The problem with my desire is that the volume rocker is broken. Runnymede and runny rom have the feature that when you press plus or minus you can tap and hold the volume to change it directly onscreen.
So here's the question: does anybody know a sense 2.0 / 2.1 Rom (without kingdom lockscreen) wich has this feature?
Please help :l

It's a Sense 3.5 feature which can't, or at least hasn't been ported to other roms.
But you could try to use volume control from the market. It can create a shortcut to the notification bar. So you could quickly change volume.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Oh, okay
Is it just a shortcut or a real volume bar? Have been searching for something like this for some time but only found shortcuts...
Thanks anyway for the help
Just tried volume control from rubberbigpepper and it's awesome. I don't know why I never saw that :O
Swyped from my GT-I9100 using xda
It's only a shortcut.
I know that some sense 2.1+3.0 have a volume bar in the quick settings tab of the notification bar. So maybe there is also a 2.0/2.1 rom with it, but I'm not sure.

Try SensEvolution. Very good, stable ROM, with volume in Quick Settings.

Used sensevolution for a day but AnDroid seems to be the better way for me.
What I noticed is that the proximity sensor bugs around in every sense2 rom I try -.-
When I call someone and get the phone off my head the screen won't turn on until the other person hangs up, and that's really annoying.. .

Is there? Pretty much every AOSP ROM has it as menu, and that pisses me off.
I'd much rather hold the switcher button for menu.
Help please
why does every single question i ask on this forum never gets answered? please help
ViperX has that option as a tweak, more of a sense Rom with the option to choose apex or nova launcher for aosp look and feel
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Not just ViperX, every Sense ROM, including stock has that.
I want this for AOSP based ROMs, though, and I can't find a single one with this.
For now, all AOSP Roms use the appswitcher button as Menu, and long-press home as appswitcher. I think most people like it that way and that's why everybody have chosen to have it like that in their Roms.
I know you can change the button by yourself, but it will need a little hacking.
If you read in Tripnravers CM9 thread a couple of days back, someone explained how to do it..
I would like to know this aswell. Could anyone post how to do this?

Did you find anything? I really would like to know also, i want a slim rom (like asop) with the app switcher button intact. I would also like to know if it would be possible to use the recent apps in sense style. Thnx in advance!

It's intact, just hold it for like 2 seconds, can't be that much of an effort right? (imo)
The Domination cm9 rom has adjustable buttons in settings. So only aosp based rom that works for me. I'm a bit surprised that people need the menu button so much.

That is the legacy way though.
Google stated that the app switcher should be separate, and I want it to be like that.
Its not so much need. Its the way it has always been in android to long press home for recent apps. So that building from source you would have to modify it to have the sense style app switcher layout
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
But it's not like that anymore! The app switcher should be a dedicated button!
And it is NOT Sense style. It is ANDROID. Google says that it has to be like HTC did it.
Besides, is it too much to want to have the buttons do what they say?
I switched to Jelly Bean now, and I just don't know what to do.
...you know that you could simply open the the keylayout file which is located in /system/usr/keylayout with a simple texteditor
and remap the button yourself back to appswitcher?
In tgascoigne's thread he suggested just undoing via the file. It wouldn't make sense to feature the option on an AOSP build, but can see it making it into CM builds.

@SilverHedgehog:
Did you find anything yet? Im using the renovate rom with novalauncher. The app switcher button is still intact there, with a few sense options too. The rom.is around 300 mb. I asked the question in the rom thread but did not get a reply.
People, Android is OPEN SOURCE, so please stop wining about rather it would be better the way its being used by most ppl, thats not the android way people.
I am using adroid with the reason that u can customize ANYTHING.

@rbadal
there's the domination ROM, but that's all to my knowledge.
can't find anything else, sadly.
uhhhh.....way hot here eh?
Ok, let's try to re-start, thread has been cleaned, from now let's try to have a clean discussion, ok?
Did you try the RENOVATE rom? Im using that one on a daily base. I will try the domination rom.
Didn't try Renovate.
I'm on Jelly Bean right now, for which, sadly, I couldn't find a solution...
Just like the title says, I wonder if it would be possible to map the volume up key as the camera shutter button. It would make life so much easier for everyone. It doesn't have to be for the Sense camera app, I use CM10 personally and I think that it would be easier to do so on a senseless ROM, but I'm not entirely sure about anything, not even how possible or impossible that would be. So what do you think, is it doable?
PS: I did some research and a thread about this was started a while ago, but it never got anywhere since it was posted in the Themes & Apps section.

Thank you for that info, really appreciate it it somehow managed to slip by me I guess. But I won't be trying it yet because I'm on CM10. Nothing similar has been done for senseless ROMs, right?

any hopes of getting a kernel that will allow the HTC logo to act as a button? I know the Sprint variant has this and that the Viper ROM uses it, but in all my reading of the forums, I am still unclear if anyone has made the VZW HTC One function for this.

Check out Luner Kernel. Hawks Rom and Viper both have them built in. You need to use trickster on hawks Rom and venom tweaks for viper to enable or un-enable this feature

+1 for the Lunar kernel. If you're on a 4.2.2 or 4.3 Rom check out this one:

buckmarble's Lunar Kernel is great. Has Sweep2Wake, DoubleTap2Wake, Logo2Wake, and Logo2Menu options.

i wish i could get the logo to open the app drawer and for me to get rid of the app drawer button while still having the GEL.
