[Q] Press to unlock lockscreen - Android Software Development

Hi,
I'm looking into developing a custom lock-screen, that would use a kind of 'Press to unlock' feature, instead of the usual slide or drag to unlock... I've disliked the slide/drag to unlock lock-screens ever since I bought my HTC Wildfire, but have had no alternative, hence why I am looking to create an alternative.
It would be similiar to most lockscreens where it would have a Clock, and things. I'm thinking it would have three default buttons(ie. Unlock, Volume(would cycle through On, Mute, and Vibrate with each press) and most likely Power Down) with options to add more of your choosing.
My question is... is this a feasible idea, and would it be possible with the current Android 2.1 and 2.2 source?
Thanks

Bump Is this a feasible idea?

I like the idea.
Skinnable "Press to unlock" buttons or doo-hickeys would be nice.

I would love this. I'm not a big fan of the slide to unlock, either.

Add numbers to the in-call screen of dialer?

It is driving me nuts that I can't easily access the numeric keypad during a call. I have to always remove the phone from my ear, unlock it, press the little "show keypad" key and then type. And I have to do this for each response.
On the Touch HD there is a huge amount of screen real estate left black whilst WinMo shows the "in-call screen". I can't believe it would be so difficult to add the digits 0-9 on that screen which can give off DTMF tones during a call.
The problem is, as a non-coder, I can't figure out where to begin and understand which files I need to change and how. Can anyone help? I would need a lot of hand holding but I'm willing to learn and become a real contributor to these forums in the process.

[HOW-TO] Expand desktop option on power menu

Hi there,
Is there a way to get the Expand desktop option in the power menu (long press power button) , as in PA 3.0 but in the AOSP 4.2.2.
I love the navbar buttons, I dont like the PIE and it's delay that makes me wait.
It would be great. Look, like this

}
Thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, there is not. That is a system level configuration that would require a custom ROM. Almost all of them have it now.

I use Power Widgets from playstore. Its the best. Not only for power but many things. Thanks for posting though, that is def cool if you want power only.

Just use Tasker
I was going to look for an app but in the process I realized that with a combination of Nova Launcher and Tasker there is an even better solution. I can now lock the screen either by double tapping the home screen or just by long long pressing the home button.
You can also use the Assistant Menu under accessibility in settings
I m use this just shake shake and off my phone.
Shake off

Long hold back to kill?

Hey Guys!
I'm kinda missing the feature of holding back button for a 1,5-2sec to kill app that is in full screen. It's missing in +5 for some reason. Any ideas how to replace it? I didn't find a port for now. Device is rooted ofc
hope they will implement in stock rom... Why don't we input this request in their system ? If we will be many, they will hear us maybe
I'm running 7.1.2 LineageOs on my OPX and have the option, in developer options all the way at the bottom

Well, All In One Gestures on the play store allows you to do this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
It requires root and a bunch of permissions if you feel it's needed.
I also use All In One Gestures just for Back to Kill

for me it is very stupid that there is no way to set start screen on recents without keyboard
or to be like samsung phones in any way you close the application then open from where you closed it even if you restart
i tried lots of dialers from market but none of them suits for me
thanks
come on someone must know where to edit I'll do the rest just give me some clue or may be i must move the thead to other section
