[Tweak] [05/04/2010] - Lock Screen Middle Fix

So since i got this i always felt that the slider at the top was annoying, then everyone moved it to the bottom, now personally is still find it annoying as its well at the bottom.
Therefore I moved it to the middle...

Installation
1. Download it here (text) or here (no text)
2. Install it
3. Soft Reset
4. Enjoy
Remove
1. Uninstall "chris10230 Lockscreen Middle"
2. Download and install this
3. Soft Reset
4. Enjoy your stock looking lock screen
I do recommend removing any other lockscreen mods before installing this as they may have an undesired effect.
Should do no harm if it does then well you should know the risks by now!
Let me know what you think and anything else to make it better!
Made it on pocketnow.com! => http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/change-windows-mobile-65-lock-slider-position
Also anyone that has a problem with it can you please post the ROM that you are using as i have a feeling that some 6.5.x roms may not be compatible. The only thought that i have.

wooow good job
Thanks.

Agreed.
This is rather nice.
I appreciate this simplicity kind sir.
Seriously, such a "simple" registry tweak is constantly overlooked.
I enjoy the little things... and this is definitely one of 'em.
BRILLLLLLIANT!

1 thing how make top bar trasparent
thanxxx

Thanks man!
I had installed the bottom lockscreen cab and when i uninstalled it, the stock lockscreen did not appear! I searched a fix to avoid the hard reset and i found it in your thread!
Thank you chris10230!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to be the first with a problem. Installed ok. First time lock screen was, bottom of screen as in your picture above, but unlock icon at top. Did a soft reset, now unlock icon in middle but bottom of screen as before install, as screen shot. I have uninstalled reinstalled but no change.

Works Flawlessly on Miri HD2 21898 V10 ROM over at HTC Pedia!!! THANKS THIS IS EXCELLENT

I'm a bit lost on this one, maybe go ask in your rom thread for the LS_lockscene...cpr that came with the rom. Something may have gone wrong, then try it again on another rom later.

Thanks, nice work much appreciated

I have the exact same problem as steve, running kumars v1.5 on Tmo US hd2.

Looks amazing! Will try! Thanks a lot!!!

When i get some time ill look into this, may be a case of having to flash but would speed it up if you can give me the LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr from you rom it will be Windows\lockscreen
Cheers, would be nice to fix the bug

Calendar
Does the calendar suppose to show at the bottom of lockscreen? Anyone having the same problema.
Slider in the middle so much dam better. My thumb was cramping up when i had the slider at bottom.
NICE work.

Updated with no text lock screens!

Attached is the zipped file as requested.
Cant wait to get it sorted. BTW the missed call symbol does not come up, all i get is a 1 on the lock icon.

Cheers, but any chance of the one that was originally in your rom, also i dont quite get why it messed up as i did not touch any of the appointment parts.
otherwise i cannot see where it has gone wrong tbh

Calendar
Does anyone know how i can get the calendar icon from showing up on the lock screen? its show up at the bottom underneath the clock and date. The slider doesnt have enough room for drop down notifications.

i in stalled it and it works fine, my question is the second pic u have it also has a slide for missed calls and is that a facebook slide? how do i get those to slides to show up on my phone.

As far as i know this is the only android keyboard built with arrows for quick corrections - ideal for the big chunk of phones without a trackball
unfortunately I have no idea of how to even start porting this over, i'm wondering if anyone working on previous ports would be able to help get this working on any generic 2.1 device (like my droid )
I have access to the full system dump and can up any files you might need, or if you want you can download them yourself from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685507

**reserved**

just random question? why do you want this keyboard if ur nexus has a trackball? but i would like to have the keyboard aswell.... just to say i can lol

Want it cuz i have a droid along with a N1 and i use it as my daily, the only thing that was bugging me was lack of trackball (same with my buddy and his X10 ) i saw some other devs on here were able to port the IME from desire, figured they might help importing the 4g keyboard as well (for the good of all droids)
Its posted on droid forums as well but the community is a lot smaller and less experienced so if its going to happen its going to happen here
Plus im sure some other people wouldn't mind having it for the sake of having it lol

i would like this keyboard too been looking for one with arrows +1 for a port

I'd be interested in a port for Nexus One as well ... simply because I HATE that Smiley face button. Seriously, what's the point for it ><
But yea, like Averma ... I also have no idea where to begin.

One thing id suggest is that you do a simple switch on an n1/ime keyboard to replace smiley with a left arrow. You realistically only need one arrow, and adding a full line of arrows under the keyboard, with prediction, for an n1 thats going to be virtually all of the screeen portrait, and landscape your only gona be able to see one line of text.

I would love this keyboard for my Droid! Because of the lack of a trackball this would come in handy when typing a text message.

only problem i see with this is when the EVO was debuted the people describing the phone said that the reason the phone had a different IME was due to the extra room on screen... no doubt it would be awesome to port, but it was reduce either the actual screen size of other items or the keyboard itself would have to be reduced in size.

has nothing to do with screen size and everything to do with resolution, if ported (when we can get a dev to help ) it'll look just like the current HTC IME but with a row of arrows and take up the same ratio of screen as it does on the Evo (because they have the same screen rez).
the reason HTC put these on here is because the EVO lacks the trackball all other HTC phones have, and android doesn't have an easy way to select inside of text so htc just stuck a row of arrows underneath to easily move back and forth inside of text, they did the same thing on the HD2

What keyboard are you using? The Nexus keyboard doesn't have that as far as I can see...
If it's the HTC keyboard you're using, you do realise you can turn that smiley off don't you?

Do you have dedicated volume buttons? Jonasl's modded HTC_IME has an option for using the volume buttons to move back in forth in text. Might be another option for ya in the meantime.

Anyone updated this project?

[Sneak Peek] Who wants some Rotary goodness? Returning soon to a Sense ROM near you.

After more bootloops than I care to share, I couldn't believe it when this one (see below) loaded up, and it didn't bootloop, a few minutes ago!
FWIW, I am running Fresh ROM (HTC Sense).
EDIT: For those just joining the conversation, this project has become much bigger than just rotary lock below. See Here for more information regarding additional features coming with this pending release.

Hmm, I was just wondering, any way you could make one similar, but with the look of Myn's HTC sense lockscreen? The black with white text and green HTC EVO on the sides, etc... somehow just so it matches Myn's RLS 5 theme... any way to make one similar to that? I'd try my hand at it, but have no photoshop skills whatsoevar LOL

Once I release, themers can do with it whatever the heck they want. That's up to them. I focus on the code .
Lol, I've literally had this up and running on my phone for 30 minutes, after days of work, and I'm already getting requests for mods

Loving it, like always.

Thanks. Still tinkering with some things.
This ended up being a "hybrid" of my original port from the Hero back in the day, with roots from the original motorola droid stock ROM, merged with elements from the CM ROM release.
Still working on a few things. Sucks though, as it has required edits to multiple framework files once again...

absolutely outstanding

Check out the second pic I just added to the OP. Notice I mentioned "hybrid" above? I was able to pull in the music controls from CM for the bottom of the lockscreen as well.

You are brilliant, JS.
We all appreciate your works, and I do believe that nearly all of us use them even if we don't know it.
Thanks for making this a better phone, again.

Ha, I think you're right.
The dilemma is, when releasing, is the "base" starting from the Power Control Widgets framework, stock, both? With music controls, without. Option to go back and forth between slider and rotary, etc.
Yikes.

Looks great I will be keeping an eye on this really like your work.

This has been on my todo list ever since getting the EVO back in October. The darn Power Control Widgets have been taking 100% of my "free" time.
I wanted to step away from that for a bit and work on something else.
It's more fun to get something new going, than it is to keep working on tweaks for the same thing (that gets boring).

Will this cause the alarm clock issue?

I would love to have this it looks awesome.

Widget locker...any good?

Hi,
Has anyone been using this app on the Nexus S?
I only came across it after I saw the multiple icons on the lockscreen on one of the advertised themes.
Reviews on other sites suggest that there is a lag issue and other errors...none of them seem to be on the Nexus S.
Comments please.....

Im after the same answer, I saw it being used on the home screen post and it looked very good.
I want to start doing some customisazion of my own.

You can add up to 10 shortcut keys on the unlock screen. So, top left corner is camera, top right camera is LED flashlight, left middle is notes, right middle is google voice, bottom left is unlock andd buttom right is to silence it.
Oh and you can add widgets on the screen so i added a calendar widget.
I love this app and its really worth the money, being able to access some of these apps right from the screen is real convinient, especially the camera and flash light.
The only issue i've run into is that if you turn it on and off real quick, it will show the stock slide to ulock screen, and sometimes it will go back to the original slide to unlock screen, at this point you would just click on widget locker again to start it up.
Overall great app!
Better yet I'll post a video to give you an idea

When i search for it in the market is it the one made by Teslacoil software?

That's the one.
Also, it is a known issue that this app will not work along side NoLed.

Heres a vid of the app.

Also, if you notice in the vid, when I turn it on from sleep mode, it shows the stock slider, thats because turn it off and on within 3-5 seconds, it will show the stock slider.

Cheers for that i'm sold.
Just downloaded it.

Awesome!
Thanks a lot. Just downloaded it.

It's a must have app... I made a video about it a while ago. I like my lockscreen with my calendar events and music. Also, if your rooted go to advance and set it to rooted device.

I would recommend widgetlocker. One of my favorite android apps

Widgetlocker is like quickdesk not like extended controls. You can customize your lock screen with widgets, shortcuts, toggles, apps, weather, etc..etc..

Just wanted to let you guys know that my primary phone is a Nexus S. So the coming update is definitely well tested on this phone
Also I've been talking to the dev of NoLED trying to resolve the conflict between the two apps. Not solved yet though.

I had the issue when I was using CM7 nightly ROm with Netarchy 1.2.2 kernel. But I was also having other issues such as the lockscreen spontaneously coming on and off. The lockscreen on/off was happening even when i disabled widget locker . so I dont think it was the app.
Since I flashed another kernel, it seems to have resolved.
Hope that helps.

Typing Mode means, Observe what happen when you do,
1. Go to dialer see the white section where you want to remove.
2. Press any dial pad number and see that section change its look.
Tell me in both situations how you want it to look like, Then i will customize it that way.........

That part is done I think, they were talking about moving the in-call contact picture to the top like in 2.1..

I want it to be removed in both situations, there's no need to indicate that I'm typing anything, I know I am, and the numbers on the line also tell me that
So I want it transparent all the time! It will just look so much better, much more uniform.
And thenk you for your effort!
