Is there a way to set the incoming call screen to orientate to the portrait display?
I have set the LCD density to 240 from 160, which I find gives a great experence on the STREAK. The text is big enough to fill the full sized screen. But the only challenge is with a ringing in-coming call. The name is cut off on the bottom, so I can't see who is calling before I pick-up.
Once I answer, I can rotate the phone into portrait and I can see all the info just fine. But a ringing call won't change orientation.
Any thoughts?
What I found is that the incoming call screen's rotation follows the lock screen. If you disable the lock screen using "No Lock" the incoming call screen is always in portrait. There doesn't seems to be any way to overcome this, i.e. force the lock screen to be always in portrait. The highest you can go with the lcd density is 180 if you still want to see the caller's name/number.
For the record: I found an app that seems to work. Incoming Call Plus (beta) changes the orientation to portrait by default. And it has options to reject incoming calls by text message, which is a handy feature.
I use incoming call plus too, but its annoying that you don't have the slide effect anymore. Hanging up by accident happens occasionally

Solution to all the problems with lcd density, we install Dj Steve's rom to ourselves 1.7.0 it works quite of marvel.
I have 240 not fc and one sees of marvel.

Hi,
been looking for a tweak about this, but haven't been able to find any.
Does anyone know how to disable the screen on the TyTN to turn on when receiving SMSs? It's very annoying, as the only notification I need is the beep sound and having the screen come to life everytime I receive an SMS is a hazzle when it comes to carrying it in my pocket. Touch-screens are a wonderful thing, but not turned on while in ones pocket. ;-) All sorts of nasty things could happen then.
Cheers,
Steffen
don't know how to totally disable this but you could use a program called mortsaver that lets you lock the screen a bit more like a conventional phone.
for example, I have to press the power button then the internet explorer button within 2s to unlock the screen.
when you receive a message the screen stays locked, although not when I get a call (might be able to change that tho).
I use spb pocketplus to put a 'lock' shortcut on my today screen that activates mortsaver.
I can't remember the website but google it and i'm sure you'll find it.
cheers
Thanks!!!
I've installed MortSaver 2.0 and it really does the trick!! Thanks for the advice.

Hi,
I have a WM6.5 rom and when someone is calling me I get a simple popup window and two softkeys at the bottom: accept, reject. I read that when the screen is locked, there is a different incall screen, where you have to slide to answer or ignore. I do not lock my screen, so would it be possible to have the better incall screen by default?
Thanks a lot for the replies.
The app being mentioned is A_C's S2U2 and it provides a full screen pop-up for contact pictures.
I ran without a screen lock for a while until my pocket made a call and used up the £15 of just applied top-up. Now i use S2U2 and have yet to have any problems.
Thanks, will try it tomorrow

you can also try this one, i think this is what u are really looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493593 the latest version is on post 20.
Thanks, but I've found an ideal solutiuon - AutoLock. Now the screen is locking on an incoming call and I get the sliders
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

you can just set a screen lock on it and it doesnt show up until u unlock the screen lol.. thats wat i have or else it answers or ignores people in my pocket.. so with the connect the dot screen lock it just rings and shows u who it is until u unlock the screen...
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.

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?
is there a way to "tweak" the android setting so that the screen will wake up (but still locked) when SMS arrives?
I am looking for a system tweak rather than a third party app to do this
all i have is a 3rd party app. sms popup. you might want to give it a shot. screen stays locked but your phone wakes up from sleep mode.
SmsAwake
PERFECT SOLUTION: Download an application called SmsAwake. It simply wakes up your screen when you receive a text message. You can even adjust how many seconds you would like screen illuminated for. Awesome app!!
