Is there a push-to-answer option available? Be it in a custom rom, an add-on, whatever. I just need a better way to answer it, seeing as how when it's in my pocket and I go to grab it, I usually drag the slider to Ignore accidentally. Thanks.
You can install the full screen caller ID app.

For pattern lock: Settings > Location & Security > Security Lock
From there you can do a passcode or the pattern. I personally use pattern because it can replace the slide to unlock all together while keeping it secure.
I got the pattern lock....but what about adding a note or your personal contact information, thats whats missing...thanks
If there is a way, I haven't found it. I know you can do it on rooted devices, depending on how the rom is set up, but as far as the droid x, I haven't seen a way to do it. You can download an app from the market that will call your phone if you lose it. Also there are apps that will find your phone on GPS. I know this isn't really what your wanting to do, but it will help you if it gets lost.
after many hours on the net I found the answer. you get this by installing the antivirus program from the apps market. you change the "this phone belongs to:" by going to the antivirus program and pressing the menu button form there go to settings, then remote management and finely lost message. you can change the whole message

That's just specific to that app. There is no way on the stock rom to set this information you are looking for. Just add a contact called Me to your contact list. That way if you lose the phone, somebody may call you (If they don't keep the phone)

Too much work for something too small I think.
One way is to update your wallpaper image to have the text you want (using your favorite image editor). Of course then it'll show on the normal home/launcher as well. But a short "Belongs to John Doe, (555) 555-5555" towards the bottom-center should work.
just found WidgetLocker Lockscreen. I havent tried it yet but I guess you can put widgets on the lock screens so I can put a note there with all this information...worth a try
So I miss the vibrate on call connect feature I had on my old WinMo HTC Touch, any way to get this feature on my Epic
I believe there is a way... I haven't tested it out, but the setting is there. To access this, you need to create a shortcut to the proper settings menu, and therefore must have LauncherPro installed (dont need to be using it though)
Hold down on the screen like your going to add a widget or shortcut, select 'Shortcut->Activities->Call Settings->All Calls'. Then a shortcut will be copied to the screen on your phone, open it up and scroll to the bottom of that menu and select "Outgoing call vibration"
I was so excited.....but the setting didnt work, but wow I didnt know launcher pro could access so many hidden menus
does this work like regisrty edt on tp2? i sure do miss that app...if not, is there one for android like it?

OK so i didn't much like the stock Dialer and contacts to slow and look horrible so i set about trying to find a suitable alternative, now upon finding a couple of good ones Dialer One & TouchPal Go i followed various guides on how to set up installed dialers as your default dialer, applications manager-all then clear default on stock phone app launch new dialer and it should come up with an option to choose which dialer to use, ive come to the conclusion that most of the dialer apps ive tried this option never comes up thus not allowing you to use as a stock dialer, now i read that if you disable the contacts under application manager - all then go into your dialer you want to use it will come up with the new default option upon doing this i noticed that the Stock contacts & phone icon have disappeared from the homescreen and app-drawer, i can only find the phone listed in application manager - all but not contacts , what do i do to get them back ? thx
the same thing u did to disable them those 2 apps are related

are they backed up if yes try restoring them
Not sure on your question per se but once you do get em back ignore those guides because you don't have to do anything to make it work. Just lose the shortcuts on the desktop and replace them with the ones you want and press that icon instead. When an app wants to hook a dialer and you have more than one installed a window will pop up asking which one you want to use, select dialer one and always and you are good to go. This will happen each time a new app that hasn't tried to use the dialer before wants to do so but it wont be long before you have them all covered and you never see them again. The good thing about this is you simply need to clear defaults to go back should you choose and also if you want to use them on a case by case basis you can. In other words dont select always and the option will come up every time that app tries to hook the dialer. The same holds true with the contacts and replacement contact apps.

'When an app wants to hook a dialer and you have more than one installed a window will pop up asking which one you want to use, select dialer one and always and you are good to go' EXACTLY and after many wasted hours i concluded that many of the dialer/contacts apps dont allow for such an option to appear the new app just launches without said popup box. However i still dont know how to get back the stock phone/contacts icon.
As the title says, I want to have access to widgets on the lock screen, but I also want to be able to protect my device with some level of security. Is this possible? I haven't been able to find a definitive answer. My device is bone stock, straight out of the box from AT&T. Do I need to root the device in order to achieve this? Any help would be great. This is the one of the only things holding me back from using Android as my daily driver over iOS. Thanks.

Not that I am aware of, no... from what I've seen and heard, you can only have lockscreen widgets like DashClock if you have no security on the device.
Someone please prove me wrong.
That's right. Samsung needs to update this asap
You can use widget locker which will replace your lock screen. You can then put widgets on it and use a pattern unlock. Apparently the passcode unlock doesn't work well though.
Just curious if there is a way to stop that. It's annoying when I only want one screen, but new app installs make a new one. I'e looked around and can't find anything and I apologize if there is already something. I am rooted and have chroma install so and tweaks that involve root are accepted.
Open Play Store settings, and remove the tick which says 'Add icon to Home screen'.
I mean, that's kind of a fix. But it's an indirect fix.
