[REQ] Rotary Lockscreen... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway to port this type of lockscreen to the Epic?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919121
I know that I can use WidgetLocker, and I've already bought it but I don't really like it. It seems to lag, like when i hit thte power button from standby, I see the original ASOP screen first and a second later the widgetlocker rotary pops up.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to address this?

that would be nice the one with the four option is hot

you can get this on Cm6 but right not no devs are willing to do all this work then have to redo it when an official 2.2 is out

If you are rooted you can use the 5 second rule bypass on the widgetlocker advance options.
If you are not rooted then use the homehelper option in the widgetlocker options.

I use no lock with widget locker. It disables the stock lock but does cause a half second lag for the screen to turn on, which doesn't bug me as much. The lag could be caused by my widgets though, not sure

So does anyone know if someone has ported this to work with EB13 or any of the custom roms? I've used to on he CM7 Alpha build, and I was wonderinf if someone took the time to port it. I'd do it myself, but at this point I have little to no knowlegde with any of the languages used to program this stuff.

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but bump haha.

[IDEA] New Lockscreen :)

1st of all, sorry if this doesn't belong here! Seriously, i am sorry for that but i just had to get this idea out for all the awesome Developers out there
Ok, so everyone right now is problaby using the standard lock screen or Sterricsons Lock screen.
They're both almost alike just a different look (oh and the new features you get with S. Lock screen like the music and battery life) so how about making one thats more....active i guess you can say...
Is it possible to make one somewhat like the iPhone (sorry for saying that ) but instead of sliding the little bar sideways, how about sliding it up.
For example: Looking at the picture below is a Hero Lock screen, how about having it look like that and then sliding it up to bring up the home screen? i think that would be awesome!
Anyone agree?
Any ideas?
Is this even possible?
So yeah, just an idea, thank you for reading and sorry if posted this in the wrong section!!

you need to try the pulse rom then, it has a lockscreen you unlock by flicking up on the screen, its pretty sweet, but in the end, a lockscreen is to keep your phone from doing too much on its own without your interaction, don't get me wrong i LOVE and thoroughly embrace stericson's lockscreen, i can barely use a rom that doesn't have it.
search the market for lock 2.0 - theres your iphone imitating lock screen..
HOWEVER i would love to see some savvy hacker make us/port us the hero lock screen to CM builds........ prob gna be difficult with it being tightly linked with sense ui... howver do it... and it big donations from me
I want the Pulse lock screen...that sh*t is sexy.

~~~calling all techs~~~

I DO NOT want a lockscreen on my HTC EVO. I already uninstalled the htc lockscreen then I was left with a transparent vanilla lockscreen that you slide from left to right. I dont want any lockscreen. please help.
Did you perform any Google searches at all? I found this in, literally, 5 seconds:
Bye Bye Lock Screen
all of these no lock apps work only half the time, so I'm so tired of dealing with lock screens. I have already used no lock app, and it worked 60% of the time then my lockscreen kicks back in. just want to uninstall all lockscreens even the vanilla one
Switchpro has a toggle that disables the lockscreen. It's in there as "auto lock screen". Works just like it's supposed to.
so I dont want to use anyones half working apps to block my lockscreens. I want to literally go into a file on my evo and uninstall all lockscreens, HTC and Vanilla
Switchpro works great and works 100% of the time.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Go get a flip-phone.
No, really, I'm dead serious. Go get an old flip phone and use that.
well this sucks

lol.........lol
You would probably have to decompile the framework and find the file.....probably the services.jar file....but that's just my guess.
come on I know some of you are tired of having an app that trys to block your factory lockscreen only to have it kick back in sometime. For example if you have LockBot pro lockscreen running, it does a ok job trying to keep your factory lockscreen not to kick in. So I just dont want any kind of lockscreen running. that way my lockbot pro can run without any issues

this has been hell for awhile now, all people keep saying is to install some half working app from the market...everyone of those dont work all the time, I've test just about every one, and my factory lockscreen shows its ugly face after a while
Like I said...No HTC or Vanilla lockscreens... this is the vanilla lockscreen I'm talking about that kicks in after the uninstall of HTC Lockscreen I'm left with this:
and dont have Tmobile I have sprint this pic is the only example I can find of the vanilla lockscreen

Yeah, It will require some code editing. I don't believe that there is a simple uninstall. Try decompiling the services.jar and see if you can find the lockscreen call.
No Lock app from the market, works like a charm.

^^He doesn't want to use an app though./shrug/
Are you running a task killer? That could be killing the lock apps.

REQUEST - MIUI Lockscreen PORT

i wonder if its possible to pull the MIUI lockscreen into a sense rom. i dont like the "click-on-colored-babyish-iphone-icons-style" of MIUI but the lockscreen is awesome!
Any ideas if there is a way to do this?

Run launcher pro with MIUI and you won't have to deal with those "colored-babyish-iphone-icons"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they still show that style on the app drawer or if placed on the homescrens?
I like a lot of things with the MIUI interface, but the thing that drives me away is the iphone-esque menu when you hit the menu button. I love the phone/dialer though.
MIUI should be enjoyed as a whole product, not in bits and pieces. But I'm sure someone could do it for you.

Laucher Pro will let you replace the icons with whatever ones you want when you put it on the desktop - there are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to change the look of the homescreens - but if it really is the menu system you don't like then hopefully someone can try and port the lockscreen for you
(FYI - here's my Incredible running MIUI and Launcher Pro)

i was thinking of making this exact thread. it would be great to get that lockscreen but I was reading somewhere that it is non-trivial to port it to CM6

Non-trivial? So you're saying it's important to port it to CM6?
If that's the case, it could be ported to MIUI as well, since they are both AOSP roms.
Unless of course you mean trivial, which makes more sense...

Non-trivial in this sense means not easy.From what I have read,the lockscreen is pretty tied in to the Rom.

Yeah, this would be incredible if this was possible. I enjoy MIUI, but it has its pro's and con's. I really LOVE the lock screen, but on the other hand I really am not a fan of all the white/light grey system menus. With the number of people that are obsessed with theming their Android devices I'm surprised there isn't any option to change all those menus to a darker scheme.

Anyone have any luck with a port of miui? I would love to test it

Just a guess but do you maybe have a clock widget on your home screen? That's what the image looks like.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.
no i dont since theres a clock in the notification bar and lock screen it seems pointless to have a third clock anywhere.
if it is a widget i can delete it then right? why would a clock widget need every permission available?
i have it frozen with titanium backup for now and i dont notice any difference
Yea I would back it up in titanium backup then delete it so you could put it back what ever the hell it is.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.
I saw one of those at one point as well. I wasn't sure where it came from either, but I deleted it and haven't seen it in several ROM flashes since.
It's the htc clock/alarm/timer/world clock. So it's not gonna hurt to leave it in case you need to set an alarm, or just defrost as needed.
but all my clock,alarms, etc work with it frozen. someone asked in myns thread and the reply was that its the desires flip clock (or something close)

It is there, but you have to look for it on the online list and it is like at the very bottom.
I tried it it kinda worked but it was unable to installed some lockscreen themes from online. Also didnt like it that the Lockscreen showed chinese/Jap letters couldnt find the options to change it either.
Thanks
Def what I was looking for to update my bland lockscreen.
Looks like it's officially in the Market, too! Here's a market link in case you're uncomfortable allowing it to "Autoly check." At least I THINK that's what that option is supposed to do!
As one of the reviews says, this definitely feels like a beta release. I'm sure they'll add more translation in future releases, because right now the heavy amount of kanji is kind of a turnoff for a person who doesn't know how to read that.
EDIT: looks like you can add wallpapers by dropping them into /sdcard/miui/wallpaper

I second that. I love MIUI, it's pretty much the only rom I ran on my Evo. That being said, the chinese characters are annoying.
Edit: Sapphire is easily the best option. It's in English too!
