I rooted my vibrant and removed bloat. Since then the puzzle piece style notifications don't work. when I put the piece in the right spot I just jump to my last open page. Then, if I don't check the message, I will not receive any sms notifications until I go to the messaging app. Any suggestions?

I guess I'm confused I've never seen this puzzle piece thing that the phone is talking about. When I look at my lock screen its just a clear box and I slide it out of the way to unlock my phone.

You get the puzzle piece when there is a notification while the screen is locked. you are supposed to put the puzzle piece in the missing spot and it will take you to the new message/missed call/etc
I get the puzzle piece. I put in in the spot...and I go to my last screen. And my sms notifications are MESSED UP. I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps I deleted an apk or odex that I wasn't supposed to. But before I flash back to the stock rom (and re-root, and de-bloat again) I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing the same issue.
@kizer
The puzzle piece only show up for about 2nd seconds after an SMS is received, only if God phone is not passcode protected.
@OP
I'm rooted, and have removed some of the bloatware, but my puzzle screen still works. I am using the stock messaging app.

Hey all,
One thing I've always wanted on android is the ability to slide-unlock, THEN to enter pattern/passcode/whatever.
Is there any way to do this? I found no way to do it in CM6. I'm now running MIUI and there's no way in this ROM either.
Is there some hack or software out there that will do this that I don't know of?
Have you tried downloading Widget locker from the market? That seems to be the most popular lockscreen replacement
No, there's no trial and I can't buy stuff off the market anyways. Does this allow for unlock->pass unlock?
From the screenshots it looks like it may.

just curios why do you want to unlock your phone twice?? ocd?
Haha no, I just like having a password on my phone and the lock screen with pattern lock is fugly. I don't want to see big dots all over my screen. I was able to fix this with CM6 by making it all invisible.
I sort of want it how the iphone does it, or how my buddies android 1.6 phone does it.

I actually really miss this function from my G1. Haha. I don't like the invisible buttons because it just makes the screen look absolutely empty. I would love a Unlock -> Password option.
Uhm, am I missing something or isn't that how it works by default? When I have a password or pin setup, and go to unlock my phone, I get the unlock screen. Once I've swiped to unlock, then I get the password/pin prompt. The only time it doesn't behave like that is when a pattern-unlock is being used.

Yep, I was. Makes no sense why you can't have this for pattern unlock as well!
I can't understand why anyone would want that!
It's one of the main reasons I don't like HTC sense roms - you can't get rid of the stupid unlock slider even when you have the pattern unlock enabled.
Why would I want to unlock it twice?!?
I want it because I frequently look at my phone for the time or for other various locked-screen uses, and it's aesthetically displeasing to look at it with the big bubbles all over the screen. Not to mention you lose the ability to slide to vibrate and that sorta stuff you get normally by default.
If you can't get WidgetLocker, try Simply Lockscreen. WidgetLocker looks way better, same with GoTo (but both are paid).
I apologize if this has already been covered. If it has, I wasn't able to find it.
1)
After a call, when I pull the phone away, the notification bar gets stuck "slightly" pulled down and touches to the screen are unresponsive. I have to pull the notification bar down all the way, then put it back up to make it go away. Otherwise, the bar just stays at about a half inch (or less) from the top of the screen. I'm using the SuperDark rom, but I don't think it's an issue with that since I remember the same thing happening with one of the first calls I made on the phone. It seems to happen about 1 out of 4 calls I make. I'm pretty used to it now and I usually just end the call using the notification bar when it happens, but I wanted to know if anyone is experiencing this and how it can be avoided/fixed.
2)
Animated GIFs. I saw the post of annoyances saying how the browser doesn't support them. But I couldn't find anything about the Gallery app not supporting them, either. I can deal with the browser, but I use Chandroid for 4chan and such, and it would be nice to view the animated GIFs I save from Chandroid in the Gallery. Is there a fix for this? Or possibly an alternate Gallery app I can use?
Thanks in advance
1. Don't press phone against ear until the proximity sensor turns the backlight off.
2. Don't have a specific answer. But I bet 2.2 wouldn't hurt.
good day
Looks like there was a discussion about the gif thing back in April.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660914
I have seen conflicting information about this, though, on the web. I have a phone with 2.2 at home, so I will give it a test tonight and let you know, unless someone replies sooner.
How do I change the lock screen to show "unlock" instead of the picture of the lock?
I can't post under the actual thread yet.

AOSP lockscreen. I can't figure out what to change show it shows as just the word unlock. In frankenstein screenshots one of them has it but I can not figure it out to save my life !

I don't have enough posts to post links/inserts. If you go to the frankenstein rom dk28. One of the screenshots has what I am looking for. It says unlock on the lock screen instead of the icon of a lock. It was also on an Evo rom, Frost.
The "Unlock" wording isn't whats always there.
That is a "glass" lockscreen, therefore theres no icons or background to the slider. to view the world "Unlock" you have to press on the slider, slide it half way to the right (Before it hits the Dot that appears on the right), and don't release. When you slide it and hold it there, the word "Unlock" slides out from the left.
Same goes for "Sound on/off" on the right slider when you slide it to the left.
Ill be adding this as an option once we figure out when this next update from Sprint is coming... But I am still working on some things while we wait.
It will be an update.zip along with several others,black menus ect... Im going more stock to begin with and adding more options.

Ya I knew this. But what I am talking about is something that replaces that and only shows "Unlock" without sliding.
But that sounds good ecooce! I love the ROM. Quick question, which kernel do you recommend using? I am using genocide and it seems to give me issues with root access and my processor is overheating.
Twilight Zone is where its at right now,it has root built in,Genocide does not. As for over heating,Ive tested both of these kernels and never had a problem with heat,but I only OCd for a short period of time. But we will see what happen,Sprint will have a new OTA ready soon.
Edit = HW keyboard skips,wtf,still.

Almost every time I push the power button to turn the screen off and then unlock the phone again almost any app I'm in has been closed. I mean it can be literally lock the phone and unlock it right away and it takes me to my home screen instead of back to the app I was in. The app is still in my recents, but as soon as I unlock the phone it takes me to my home screen.
This is happening on my unlocked version directly from OnePlus. When I try it on my T-Mobile version it doesn't close the apps and unlocks right back where I left off. It also is working correctly on my Pixel 3 XL and the RAM management is currently absolute trash on that phone.
I'm using Nova Launcher on both phones, I have tried turning off battery optimization and advanced optimization and it still does the same thing. When I use the stock launcher this does not happen.
Anyone else seeing this or know how to fix it?

i use Nova Launcher too. Dont see any issue so far. When for example Chrome is open and i lock the phone (powerbutton) and unlock again, Chrome is still open.
(i have a non-T-Mobile 6T from Amazon with unlocked Bootloader and Magisk, running on OOS 9.0.5)

Thanks for the quick reply, it's really starting to annoy me and I'm running basically the same setup as you.
I've done everything short of a factory reset to try to fix it. I might have to do a factory reset when I have a little free time.

Thank you, well that helps me rule out that it has nothing to do with routing or bootloader unlocked. I was starting to think that might have had something to do with it because my T-Mobile version doesn't do this.

It doesn't always do it. I just did a test and the xda app was right there when I unlocked.
But it happened to me literally every time I locked the screen last night. Even for this short amount of time.

Same thing here it doesn't always do it but it doesn't have enough to be really annoying. I can't seem to find any Rhyme or Reason as to why it's doing it.
Edit: I just walked my dog for 10 minutes came back unlock my phone and it's still on this XDA page like it's supposed to be. SMH
Ok, so this has bothered me a lot as well and I have mentioned this and a few other issues in one of my earlier posts.
It's definitely a bug especially, as it does not happen everytime (only most of the times) and OnePlus has to fix it.
However, I do have a theory on why this happens. OnePlus has added a new feature (quick launch?) which let's you access app shortcuts when you press and hold the fingerprint scanner even after unlock. Now this overlay would presumably not work very well if you're inside an app.
So I think OnePlus takes you to the home page to prepare for this quick launch shortcut overlay display.
Obviously, this is a new feature and I believe needs some more development and bug fixing.
I would've hoped that at least turning the quick launch feature off would rid us of this problem, but sadly it doesn't.
Hopefully it's fixed soon.
can you guys check if you have my prob aswell?
copy paste from my thread
I have a super annoying Problem when using Nova Launcher. My Dialer minimizes when i move my Phone away from my Ear. To reproduce: Open Dialer, minimize the Dialer, open again and make a Call, block the Sensor with your hand shortly. Looks like the Dialer crashes but it minimizes. For ending the Call i have to press the little icon in the Top Bar to maximize it first. Super annoying and with this Problem Nova Launcher is unusable. Somebody else with that Prob or someone have a suggetion to fix that?
I noticed the same problem, I thought I was just swing up to go back home before I hit the power button to turn off the screen out of habit and not realizing it. Glad to know I'm not crazy. I am stock from one plus but running Nova launcher.

I'm using the Google Dialer and not the stock one and I just tried it by covering the sensor and when I uncovered it the dialer was still there. But if I lock the screen and then unlock it it's gone.

Not my find but there's an update to the OnePlus launcher in the Play Store that once you update the issue with Nova goes away.
I updated from the Play Store and tried every single app on my phone and when I unlocked my phone they were still there no more going straight to the home screen.
New OnePlus Launcher update fixes the problem.. OP Launcher 3.1.2.181109163305

This is great news! Thanks for pointing this out guys.

Happy to find this topic! Thanks for the solution!
Hi folks,
One of the first things I set up on my 6T was the lock screen message, such that if someone found my phone, they could call a number or email me to help return it. I'm an optimist, eh?
But I just noticed the message doesn't show after a reboot, before the first unlocking of the device following the reboot.
Is there some way to force it to show the message? It's silly if someone finds it but it has powered off meanwhile, that the contact info won't show.
Any thoughts appreciated!

Before unlocking the data is encrypted and therefore inaccessible.
I don't think you can make that work as you want to.
Rather than fussing intensely on this, I could always put my info on a slip of paper taped to the back of the phone, covered by the Karbon case, easily found on inspection by a phone-finder...

If you're handy with photo editing software, you can add the text that you want to display onto an image and set that as you lock screen wallpaper. It'll be behind the shade of the lock screen so not necessarily as clear as the other text, but would still be visible. And you would want to place the text so that it won't be covered by the clock on the regular lock screen.
Unless if you're living in japan, then i think the chances of someone returning it would be 0

thanks for this. I've actually done this on my son's iPhone years ago when they didn't have a lock screen message function that I could find. So it's a good idea to see again. I will look into it and figure out something!
