Hi,
So the other day I was checking out a friend's Nexus S. When he locks it the screen turns off like an old school tv. Does anyone know how I could get that on my S4GS? Let me try and find a link on YouTube to show what I'm talking about.
Thanks

CM7 has that too. I believe it's in framework-res.apk, but I could be wrong. Try the UOT kitchen. Instructions are pretty easy, but be sure you pay close attention to them

Okay. Thanks. I'll look into it. :-D
EDIT: I looked into it and UOT Kitchen didn't have it. Any other suggestions?

If you look in the market for an app called "screen off and lock" it will give you different animations for you to choose that will enable it. But all the app does is to create a shortcut of the app on your home screen so you will have to tap it in order to show the animations. It doesnt work by pushing the physical lock button. I know this might not be what you're really looking for but its worth a try as a work around if you want some lock animations.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look at it. Something is better than nothing. LOL
I was browsing the forums and I came across this thread and the software is awesome. You can lock any app you want!

I had an issue with the same thing and this seemed to fix it:
The most accurate recognition will be achieved when all the training images are taken directly from front (i.e. no profile images etc.). Also, you should take training images in different illuminations (in those environments where you usually use your mobile). Sufficient amount of images per person is about 5 to 10.
give it a shot and see if it changes!

It doesn't seem to work on a rooted Evo. Every App I lock goes to the face program then the app starts anyway.
been using this all day here and i must say im impressed. now i just need this to work with the "stock" lock screen (take the place of a pin pass or pattern). that would be amazing.

Im rooted running synergy rc1 and it works fine. Try wiping the app data and uninstall and then do a fresh install and see if that helps.

I was thinking the same thing! That would be a kick ass feature.
I am running the latest MIUI and this works fine. Awesome application. My only complaint is that on MIUI you can drag applications to the top of the screen for an uninstall. If you do that with the app, it will remove it and then you can access whatever you want on the phone. Obviously nobody is going to really know that they can do that unless they are familiar with MIUI, but still something to nag about.
Awesome application.

Same here so what I did was place it in a folder and selected the HIDE APPLICATION option that way it cannot be found
That's what I ended up doing as well. Worked really well since you can't delete the folder with something in it, but you can't find what's in it.
Also, I found that if you hit the home key while the app is loading, it cancels the protection out.
Say you have it protecting messages. You click on messages and while the screen is blank for a second or two (The camera security is loading), hit the home key. Now open messages again and it doesn't lock you out.
Just me or others too?

I found that bug accidentally, but now that I have found it, I can't really use the app anymore. Simply because I know how easy it is to get around.

Softkey remaps have been added to Trailblazer Mods
Also, the Clock Unlock has been added xD
Now though, new "Does anyone want...." When someone calls you, and you are in another app, so that you see the call from the ticker, does anyone want the "Ignore and Text" button to link to Google Voice?
Also, how about bold ticker date text? I don't know, the original seems to small for me haha
I don't know about it doing that but I was wanting to change the functionality
Anything that gives it functionality... I have literally only used it once to see what it did and screen on/off seems infinitely more useful... you know us continuum users will take what we can get...

Could you make it open app droor to switch apps w/o goin to homw screen? That and on-off are only functions I can think of rite now but im sure someone has killer idea ...whatever function you give it you gotta make a cool icon and 1 word descrip with no more than 6 letters....hahaha

I wouldn't mind a call button that's one thing I really miss about my hero lol.

I can make it open up the Call Log, is that good enough?

Also, ever since the upgrade to 2.2, the (handy, in my opinion) feature of unlocking the phone threw clicking the clock had been removed for some retarded reason I managed to put that feature back in, for myself mainly, and for anyone else if they want it

So yes Trailblazer101....final answer.... I would like a mod to change function of search key...really don't care what.....if we could answer/ignore/end calls or even sum kinda application launcher....
sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
I believe this deserves some consideration. With sum trial and error we could make a lasting improvement to google's standard interface. Im sure there is some app, utility, or shortcut that can be represented by an icon and makes navigating your phone easier....menu, home, and back are kinda dedicated to the SMART so maybe fourth key should be dedicated to the PHONE part init? To make a long story longer we took this phone from Sammy and VZW when we gave it froyo...we will take it from google when we improve native/home keys.......was that motivational hahaha

haha, yeah that was motivational, haha Made me think

Can you still have the 4 app launcher if you have a passcode? (I'm thinking about buying a One X)
Yes u just drag the app or unlock it and then it prompts u for password or face unlock

Also, FWIW, I'm password/passcode mandated bc my company forces admin rights for me to get corporate email, so I have to, of course, enter my passcode each time i unlock directly into an app. HOWEVER, this is not the case with the Camera, at least for picture taking. I can 'partially' unlock to get to the camera app and take multiple photos without entering a passcode, but as soon as you try to review or edit photos, you are prompted for the password.
Personally, I was concerned that I would lose quick access to the camera with password unlock, but luckily that's not the case. Thought I'd pass that along...
If you are interested, there is an app called ExtendLockTime, which allows you to set a delay for the pass code. For example, if you only wanted to enter the code once per day, within the app you set it to 24 hours. Its working perfectly on my HOX.
Any way to get the Screen Lock/Unlock sounds back too? lol

Found it!
Give Widget Locker a whirl. Highly customizable and can look like stock ICS. Easily capable of more actions than the stock lockscreen.

I'm not sure why HTC decided to mess with the default delays...The ICS ones were just fine. I usually had mine set to 3 seconds in case the display turned off while I was reading something and I could just tap the button to turn it back on without unlocking.
Let me know if it works!
You should see the ticker call screen when you are in any app, and you should see the default "full screen" screen when within the launcher itself...

Works just like it should! Even imported my home screen backup. Did have to un install the pro key and notification plug in and reinstall from the market, but they work fine. Thanks for this!

Hmm alright. o: Just wondering. Do you think you could show us how it's done or is it too complicated? Understandable if it is!
Also they've released a swiftkey flow beta. you should check it out!
One would need to learn javascript to understand actions in smali

Wow! SwiftKey Flow is pretty sweet! Works great, especially for someone like me that can't type to save my life! Kinda memory heavy, but doesn't seem to slow the phone down to much. I do think I'll be using this one! Lol! Thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda app-developers app
XjokiX7: Lol, it took me a long time to figure out smali, since I didn't want to learn Java first haha... I've said this before though, a good place to start would be looking at, say, the ticker, in action, and then look at the smali files for it... That way, you get a good picture of what smali code does what! Of course, it doesn't help when there's a lot of files for the ticker in services, but you can combat that with common sense and some detective skills
ciscogee: I know this is probably late, but how was moving!
Oh, and to both roaddog665 and XjokiX7, i freaking love Swiftkey Flow, haha I enjoy the "just keep going" feature, with not having to lift your finger up between words it's crazzyyyy!
Oh Oh, I added in a custom section for the Ticker within TSMParts for all the different settings I'm creating... Some option include turning on/off and customizing the Quick Launch screen, changing the sleep text, and what I am working on now is having options to remove/hide the weather icon/history button It's not ready to be released though, i'm just keeping you posted

and you can do it by swiping your word, then DON'T take your finger off of the keyboard and swipe to the space bar... Then, still without lifting a finger, go back up and swipe your next word... It takes some getting used to, but it seems like it's going to be a huge time saver
Haha!! That's good. This phone just keeps getting better and better.
Yeah, that will take some getting used to... But this keyboard is amazing! I've already "flowed" over 100 meters just playing around with it! Lmao!
