Is there a way i can change the lock screen of my phone? I don't like the normal slide down thing, i really like anything that i can slide across really...
so i was wondering if there was a .apk or a flash-able thing i could use to change it.
i did search for about 15-20 min and gave up so if someone just links me to another part of the forum thats cool because i must have missed it but i dont need to hear "use the search noob" or something to that effect.
thanks in advance
after some looking i found widgetlocker which seems amazing, so if anyone knows a free one cool if not ill just get this.
thanks

Has anyone thought of/already produced a small Slide to Unlock bar that could be used as a today plugin for your home screen? That would be the bomb! Anyone agree or heard of something already? I know of S2U2 but that is more of a screen saver... could be a "slide to lock" and then "slide to unlock" type deal. Anyone feel me on this?
Some people have discussed a "transparent" S2U type of app. The PointUI guys said they may try to add that to their app at some point. THat's the closest thing that's been considered...
yeah :/ hopefully someone comes out w/ it soon, would rather it be independent from pointui...
That's a neat idea.
I"m having a hard time making s2u2 actually be useful for me, because i really want to use it. but i dont want to use the native lock function either, and the batterystatus locking functionality is boring! i want to sliiiiiiiiiiiide
yeah! i hope someone on this board with any type of programming experience picks this idea up, i'd be more than willing to work with them on the gui for it, if it is at all even possible.
bump... i refuse to let this idea die!!!!

yes i read through that but it isn't quite what i was inquiring about... hopefully that developer can cook something up
great idea would love to use
If there be a nice Graphic today >> Slide to Lock (instead of Lock) and call S2U2 would be very nice
if you're using ftouchflo, setup the left->right action to run S2U2. I find that to be a better solution so I can easily lock my phone no matter what screen I'm on and save my precious today screen space...
Nah, Personally, i'd prefer just an lock/unlock slider sitting on Today screen, so that i can see my Batterystatus and TodayAgenda all the time. The fact that S2U2 covers the Today screen (and my events/tasks with it) is the only thing that keeps me from using it.
What i would expect from such a plugin is the simplicity, ability to skin it, and customize its size.
someone please produce this, maybe we can get a paypal going for the author? i'd pay a few bucks for it forsure.
this is what your looking for...
for some reason this wouldn't come up in the xda search, had to do it directly in google... but this is what your after

my mate just got this app for his iphone it doesnt have any use but i thought itd be great as a screen locker.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xY4ZSSFXbA
Anyone feel like tryin to make this?
cheers in advance
Soooooo, no one wants to give this a go? I think itd be great, to unlock the device press a few icons on the DHD and then hit the big red dial button and the stargate opens up to unlock the device!!!!!
If i knew anything about programming then i would make this myself but unfortunatley i know sweet **** all.
Come on people lets get extra geeky and have our very own DHD!!
After installing the update from TMO, The little bar that flips between mail, home, internet, images, music, etc. "shrinks" into a little black tab in the middle of my screen at the bottom.
This is super super annoying because it takes an extra effort to click on the damn thing and then slide my finger to scroll. This also requires a second tap on the screen when i go to browser because the first one simply 'collapses' the little thing and the second one will actually respond to the internet icon you're tapping on.
Tell me there's a way to turn off the collapse of this stupid thing. I tried looking on here but I don't know what keywords to use to search this out. Something like 'htc sense update hd2 registry change' yields nothing.
TIA

It sounds to me like you have cookies home tab enabled?! That is strange are you sure you didn't flash to a custom rom?! I have that one my phone and I have the update but the only way I was able to get that was with CHT. I have attached examples.
Yep! I do have cookies home tab installed! Dang..so is the setting in that to change it? :bangs head:
I'll take a look.
WTHAT A MORON. Thats its. The 'retractable slider' setting. I can't believe I didn't realize that was cookie and not HTC.
Thanks a million for pushing me in the right direction.
Awesome! Glad I could help! I had that enable for a while but it became a little annoying so I took it off! Hahahaha it does make it look really cool!
Hey, thanks for the info. I'm glad I learned about that.
I also have Cookies, and didn't know about that.
Now I have just enabled that feature. Why? I don't find that "ribbon" at the bottom very useful, as it is not very customizable. Nice to have the settings button there at the right, but one can also do that with a Quick Link. I like the music app, but one can also do a quick link for that. Withouth that ribbon, there is room for another row of quick links. (I find it unfortunate that that "ribbon" is so uncustomizable. You cannot choose what is in it, but only what to remove (other than settings and home). (I don't really need that home icon either, because there is a hardware button for home.) I don't like how that "People" tab goes to "HTC People". I'd rather go straight to the regular contacts list. But it can't be changed (AFAIK), only removed.
So by retracting it, I remove the whole thing (can slide it back if I want), but can put the links I like in that ribbon into quick links, for which there is now more room.
Thank you.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if its possible to disable the first animation from the flip clock? i dont like it and it always confuzes me how late (early) it is.
So if anyone knows how to disable it.. it was really easy on my hd2, just install a .cab file.
Thanks
+1 for me on this one.
It really is annoying and especially on analog clocks the animation looks rather weird.
Regards,
And another request from me...
This was pretty much the first thing I did on my HD2 (disable flip) and it's driving me nuts already!
bump bump , same here
Bump!
Agreed about the analog comment...it's bloody weird!
No one knows how? i will call htc tomorrow and ask them.

You can try but they probably don't have a solution.., It's just build in.
Not that this disables it by normal operation, but I find using "No Lock" from the Market skips the animation when you press the power button, but it also removes the need to "slide down" to unlock after pressing the power button (this is good in my book, and the real reason I use it).
This also annoyed me to no end when I first got the phone especially on the analogue clocks. It looks really stupid to see the hands rotate round the clock to the correct time every time you flick back to it! I searched for hours trying to find a solution but I gave up. Which is a real shame because I really like the HTC clocks but can't use them

Yeah that was their answer too. So there's not going to be a way to do this official.
Another one from me, very annoying!!
Sorry if already asked, but I've searched and not found an answer. Does anyone have a mod that changes the answer screen? I'd really like to eliminate the Reply with Text feature.
Haven't seen it, yet. Or much discussion of it for that matter. It would be cool to be able to customize our incoming call screens.
Buy Full Screen Caller ID and never look back.
Tried that - it gives me more info, but doesn't remove the "Reply with Text". Was hoping for more AOSP screen
