Hi,
I would like to know if there is an add or a mod who will allow to turn on and off the screen on the phone sliding a finger on the hardware button on Sense based rom (like it happen on cyanomod based rom for example).
I already tried the shake to turn screen and the proximity sensor but they aren't working well and personally I prefer the finger slider method.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Massimiliano
There is no sense 5 rom on the hox !
Sweep to wake is supported by most kernels these days.
Ok sorry I meant Sense rom (in general) ... I wrote Sense 5 because I was trying to find something about it so I had it in my mind
I'm using Android Revolution HD 22.0 and I can't find a way to use/set the Sweep to turn on/off option ... will there probably be in other Sense rom?
Sweep to wake on/off is not a rom feature but a kernel feature.
Try another kernel, for example XM kernel. In combination with an app called trickster mod you can set different kernel options. Like sweep to wake.
Thanks, I'll try to install another Kernel

I realize that the Android OS has not had a Screen Capture ability built in, however some mods and ROMs have installed/created a way to get Screen Caps by pressing the Power/Lock and Home button to get them.
I am rooted and on the latest release of the OTA 2.3.4, but I wanted to know if there was a way to install/enable the screen shot abilitly like in previous ROMs I used.
Kind of like how I installed/updated the QuickSettings control in the notifications pull down - I was hoping there was an install package to enable this screen shot ability.
Thanks!

Well there is always market apps that are capable of this. Otherwise there isn't any flashable mods that will give you this function. This mod is a mod that must be baked into a rom before it is installed. Requires a certain apk, build.prop edit, a certain lib and the android.policy.jar must be capable of this function.
I use and recommend Shooter.

Get a CM7 nightly, it has the screen cap feature built into the power screen. Or get ShootMe. Both work

Thanks Everyone, appreciate the feedback.
I didnt want to use one of the other ROMs right now, I just went back to the OTA Rooted ROM that was posted a few days ago and figured I would wait it out until some of the ROMs were rebuilt with the new OTA release and became stable.
Thanks again for the responses!
ok, I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756479 and there were some suggestions like the nolock app, wildpuzzle, etc.
I just got rid of cm7 and testing shooter's newest, and yea the 3.0 lock is slow and annoying, but rather than just removing, I would love the gesture feature that c7 offers. Is there any way/ app that can do that while not on the c7 rom?
I did search and haven't found anything yet.
Tnx
Since the lockring style lock screen is a feature of sense 3.0 and guestures are a feature of AOSP, you couldn't easily swap it out. Only a skilled developer(or group) could get this to work.
On another note, I did see an app that replaced your lock screen with one that has a gesture function...but I read reviews of it not being implemented well.

There is an app (free in market) called no lock that works quite well for removing the lockscreen altogether.
I knew that back in the day on Sense 1.0 roms you could replace the Sense lockscreen with the AOSP one. I think you also had to switch out the clock so that you could dismiss alarms or something.
I never did this because I never run Sense, but I remember reading about it. I also don't know if it works on 3.0 roms, but it could be a place to start.
You could also try WidgetLocker. It doesn't have gesture support, but you can place sliders, shortcuts, and apps on the lockscreen. I know it's not what you're looking for, but it's a much easier solution & a nifty app as well.

Thanks guys. I used nolock in the past and the only issue is it does just that, it removes ALL security. So if I can't get the gesture, I would settle for a pin/pattern, etc. Even though I enable the pattern security, if nolock is enabled, it ignores that so it seems with a sense rom it's either ring + other security or nothing at all right?
Grrrr! Thanks
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.
Here is an efficient and good looking non-root alternative

Hi all,
I saw some great stuff to wake phone swyping directly on the screen, like PGM on play store (for Evo 3D and Galaxy Nexus), and was wondering if would be possible to have it for my One X.
I was using Faux kernel including S2W, and really liked it, but I think it would be better/easier/more useful if we can wake touching the screen, not the 3 buttons.
Also, for exemple in Nova Launcher, there is the option to launch an app making other gestures than swype, like pinch or rotate. Do you think it would be possible to wake the phone just pinchin screen when off ? What about battery drain ? Lot of users had complaints about S2W draining the battery, but I didn't noticed a big difference with or without this feature.
Do you think a feature like this would be useful ? Technically, is it realistic ?
Sorry for poor english :silly:
nobody has any idea or interest in such feature? I think it would be great to have the possibility to pinch the screen to wake it, so easier than swiping over the buttons, and with less fails. And I don't think that kind of gesture could be easily done while phone is in the pocket.

Hello, great idea but not so "feasible" easilly ... imo
How do you swype on a screen which is not activated ?
You will let the screen always activated ? I don't think the battery will appreciate.
Maybe you can activate the touch screen without the display screen
but that should surely need a kernel modification if it's not "hardware" locked.
The only app i see that make something very similar is Tap Tap Tap
and it uses the proximity sensor ...
PS : I never achieved to make Tap Tap Tap work correctly each time i Tap Tap
Yes, kernel modification should be needed, the Evo 3D app PGM is a kernel module. I emailed the developer, who explained that he logically can't develop apps for devices that he hasn't got. But if it works in Evo 3D and Galaxy Nexus, it surely can be developed for One X.
His app does not seems to drain too much battery. Anyway, if it is possible to make it using 2-fingers gestures like pinch or rotate, maybe it should be possible too to only activate the screen when there is this double contact. I don't really understand about development, but had read something like S2W was not draining battery because of activation only when the 2nd button was touched.
Tap Tap is not compatible with ICS 4.0.4, can't try it...
But many comments say that it drains battery a lot, and can easily wake screen when in pocket, so it's more like an option you punctually use I think.
Well, only 10 votes, but 60% love the idea.
Would be a great feature included in future ViperX 2.0 rom
