Hey guys, just wondering if it was possible to change the incoming call screen on my Epic 4g from the "drag the picture/icon in the middle up or down" one that's standard on the epic to the horizontal sliding unlock screen. I can't post pictures yet so I can't really show what I'm talking about, sorry.
My mom has the LG Optimus S, and her phone has the incoming call screen I'm talking about. Slide an icon from left to right, and you pick up. Slide an icon from right to left, and it ignores the call.
Thanks!
i'd like to know if this is possible also.
If you searched you would realize this has been discussed before. you want the aosp incoming call screen. Right now the imply way to get it is to install cm6

so, it's impossible to change incoming call screen from third party software
so sad
I wonder why anyone would want the AOSP incoming call screen when the TW call screen has that handy "ignore with text" button on it.. Plus you get a lil picture of the person calling you.. Not to mention if you miss a call, you get the "slide to missed call" thing on your lock screen
it seems to me that the tw incoming call screen is objectively better in that it provides more functionality... so, if you don't mind me asking, why are you so eager to switch to the AOSP incoming call screen?

When I get a call come through if i cant answer it, how do i put the caller through to voicemail?
I know i used to be able to do this on my old phone by pressing the call end button.
This does not seem to work on the HD2...very annoying
Any ideas guys?
doesn't it give you the option on the screen?
swipe left to answer, swipe right to reject
volume toggle
Try the user manual, all kinds of basic stuff,& tech stuff too,.. On mine the volume button can reject,& be set to send text saying your busy,& will call back...
lol it shows on the screen when someone is calling.
the slider is in the middle.
left side is green 'answer'
right side is red 'reject'
you slide to whichever side you want to do.
Ah, i worked out what it was....
I had that slide to lock thing on my phone (SU2 i think)
What it was doing was not giving me the option to slide the bar the other way to reject a call.
I have removed it fom my phone and im now able to reject a call or send a text now.
thanks for the help guys
Does not the red hardware button do the same (the one used to turn phone off) ?

you don't really need to uninstall S2U2 for that... I was confused by it at first, as well, but then all you need to do is to disable everything under Settings\Phone (Actually, you get to disable "show caller id" and then everything else is immediately greyed out)

i never really used S2U2 that much anyway.
thanks though
Im running MattC Leo Sense which uses a slide/lock for both the phone lock and to answer phone calls. I was able to change the phone lock slider from up/down to left/right but I want to do the same with answering phone calls.
What happens with incomming calls is someone calls me and I pull my phone straight up and out of my pocket. When I do this, the phone rejects the call because the phone rubs against my inside pocket and slids the answer/slide to reject phone call. If I could change the answer/slide from up/down to left/right then this wouldnt happen.
Does anyone have this issue and/or know of a fix?
Thanks

Can you please tell me how you changed the unlocker from up/down to left/right. I would really appreciate.

same problem here, i've tryed the lockscreen tactic. but i find that very annoying. I have no program skills but there must be some guy who can make a small apk that deletes the slider and replaces it with nothing =) so i can just use the hard buttons on my HD2...
Just to bring the issue up again im still having massive problems with calls being ignored or answered (depends on which way the phone is in my pocket)
Anyway have any idea, ive tried widget locker but that only seems to apply to lock screen and not phone call screen.
This issue had anoyed me for a while as well. I have tried widget locker and that works great for the phone lock, but as mentioned earlier in this thread - not for the incoming call locker.
If someone fixes this for the sense based ROMs, they will be my hero!
cyanogen mod ROM includes the "slide to answer" from lockscreen window similar to "widget locker" app. i just wish they would include the option to add widgets and shortcuts to the lockscreen like widgetlocker does

I have the exact same problem, and looking for a fix.
same problem here
people hung up on me because phone answered in my pocket and they would hear noise while I'm removing it from my pocket/case >.>
setting a lock screen is so annoying, now I remove my phone carefully so I don't answer by mistake.
[edit] I've searched around the net, and downloaded a few new lock screens. there's one called "simply lock screen" it has an option to disable the slide to answer, and it will be replaced by the normal answer buttons you get when the device is not sleeping. it might work, but there's still chance that the answer/dismiss buttons will be pressed when you remove the device from the pocket
same problem here... no one has a clue yet?
the problem is htc sense...to avoid this problem i have switched to stock android builds...
There are a couple of apps out there that can help, the best I have found is Easy Answer Button. It is a bit tempermental, but if you install it as your last app after a fresh flash, it tends to work better - at least imho.
Others are Advanced Telephone (also free) and EZAnswer which will cost you a couple of bucks. (The link is to the 2 day trial).

Why don't you just delete htclockscreen.apk from system/app.
It will change sense up and down answer to left, right standard android lockscreen.
Use root explorer or the like and reboot afterwards to see changes.

I did a little hunting around and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for:
My girlfriend has a captivate, and hates the default answering screen you get when there's an incoming phone call. She finds the small slider too difficult to reliably slide all the way over on a consistent basis. I found a few apps that will change it to a single button, but they have mixed feedback, and that raises the problem of the phone accidentally being answered in her purse/pocket. Short of loading a custom ROM (I am /not/ going down that road on a phone that isn't mine) does anyone know of a way to change the answer screen to have a larger slider or like the glass style lock screen? Am I missing something obvious?
I just replaced my stock Touchwiz dialer with exDialer, and love it! I was wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of the Touchwiz in call screen, the ugly screen that shows the number, allows you to mute, switch to speaker, etc. I find that screen very, very ugly and poorly designed.
I installed Not Call Log, so I don't have to see it after the call hangs up, but I'd like to replace it completely or find a workaround. Any ideas? I've tried a Ultimate Call Screen HD but there is a super long delay when clicking the call button in exDialer. Almost like the app is freezing, so that won't work.
Like the your new G4 but can't stand that every time someone calls you, there is a full screen, in your face caller id screen? What if you are busy in an app? Tough. You just have to answer the call or ignore it.
Well, that can all be changed. Remember back in KK there was a much smaller caller id that popped up and you could answer the call, decline the call, decline with a message or ... swipe that screen out of your way! Well, you can have that back again and you don't need anything special. Just tap your dialer app. Once there, make sure you are on the 'Dial' or 'Recent' tabs. Hit the 3 buttons in the top right corner, select "Call settings" and then towards the bottom of that menu there is an option called "Incoming voice call pop-up" which is unchecked by default. Just tap the box to add the check mark and back out of there. (Side note. Scroll farther down in these settings and you will find the Gestures that are missing from the phones settings screen. Flip to silence and bring the phone to your ear to answer are hidden away in here.) Now when you get a call and you are in an app or game, instead of the full screen, in your face, can't move the sombitch, window, there is a much smaller pop up that we all love and remember from KK. When you get a call, you can answer, decline with a message, or just decline. But there is also the beloved swipe that thing outta my face before (insert anecdote here) happens, in which case the ringer will be silenced and the pop up will just slide out of your view.
Hope this helps alleviate some of the frustration with your new phone until we can get root and REALLY change the way things happen on our phones.
(BTW. I make no guarantee that your variant has the option described above. But I'm fairly positive that the option will be there.)
You can access the Call Settings directly from the Settings Menu, too (at least on the unlocked variant of the G4). Just go to Settings ยป Calls.

Unfortunately doesn't look like it's in the Sprint variant.

Oh nice find. This was on the G2... then disappeared. I don't know why it is always turned off by default. It is a really nice feature.
I am using Verizon btw
When I first got my G4 it asked me to tap it to my old phone to transfer settings, so this setting must have transferred from my G2 to the G4 automatically.
