This is more of a question then a problem. I am running Vegan but have also seen this behavior when I was running TnT Lite. When I boot my G-Tab I seem to randomly get two different lock screen's. Sometimes I get what I call the "iPhone" lick screen that looks like an iPhone. It's in portrait aspect and has a slider the if you hold the G-Tab in landscape must be moved from top left to bottom left. (Note that it's sideways when you hold the G-Tab in landscape)
The other lock is the Vegan lock where it's 2/3 of the way to the right side when holding the unit in Landscape aspect. It's got a lock slider on the bottom that must be pulled up toward another button the looks like a speaker.
It's not really a problem to unlock the G-Tab either way, but it has me curious since it seems random which one you will get each time you boot. It's even more off that I get this on both Vegan and TnT Lite.
Any Thoughts?
Hi kmclaren,
I'm sorry that no one responded to your post. I am also using Vegan, and also wondering about the screen lock slider. Actually, I don't need that feature, and I'm trying to find out how to disable the screen lock, so that I don't need to do the slide motion.
I believe there is a program called "nolock" that will eliminate the lock screen

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has noticed this 'bug' with the keyboard backlight staying On, even in the 'closed' position?
I noticed it when looking at my touch pro side-on in dim light, and finally figured out how to replicate.
It basically seems to happen if you open/close the keyboard a few times without waiting for the 'lag' in the screen to catch up and change from landscape to portrait. The keyboard light will remain on even after being slid closed, and even after the machine is put into sleep mode!
It is sometimes fixed by opening the keyboard, letting the screen 'catch up', and then closing it again. But sometimes, this does not work. You have to open the keyboard, hit a key to make the machine realize that the keyboard is open, and then close it again.
I'm running the Australian 1.94 original ROM, and I noticed this both before and after using the SlideWakeup tweak for the keyboard.
For real. I just discovered the beauty of No Lock, which in conjunction with a case and a fullscreen launcher brings froyo a little closer to tablet heaven.
It just removes the lock screen, meaning 1. you can bring it straight out of sleep with the power button and 2. you will not have to see the moment when your launcher removes the taskbar.
If only we could get rid of the row with the dock alltogether, then froyo would almost be a tablet os!
Thx, good tipp!
No Lock is awesome. It gives you the choice of either enabling lock or no lock. If you choose no lock, then you only need to press the power button to use the phone. You dont have to slide to unlock it. Sweet!!
Also "Screen lock suppressor" works..
funny how a little thing like that will immediately change the feel of using a device... its pure gold until we are able to cook custom roms
I stopped using it on my Milestone a long time ago, never tried it on my Galaxy S (and I actually like the Galaxy S lock screen).
Reason I stopped using it on the Milestone is that it had a tendency to cause excessive battery drain. Hopefully the author has addressed this.
uses absolutely no battery on my tab...
Maybe your Milestone was always powered on?
Never heard of that problem.
I hate the fact that when using nolock the phone power up even when pressing the volume buttons...

yes, the volume buttons cannot be disabled - its a limitation of 2.2 as far as i know
nevertheless, i never hit them by mistake...
I have been playing with my Hero mods all day, and have a new question that I a sure has a simple answer, it is just escaping me finding it On my lock screen, I have two "slider" buttons.. One is to unlock the screen, the other is to change the ringer/vibrate/silent controls. I have accidentally turned off the ringer w/o knowing it via sliding the ringer/vibrate/silent controls while it was in my pocket. How do i change the lock screen so that slider is not present?
I am using CM6.1 w/ADW Launcher on a Sprint Hero (CDMA). The slider buttons go from right to left and left to right (not up or down).
Any help on this issue is helpful.... Also, in addition to how to change/remove it, is the issue related to CM6 or ADW? Thanks!
Wrong section. -1 for you. And as for your question, I don't think you can do that.
So I came across this option to enable the "puzzle lock screen" from the recovery "advanced" menu. I remember when I flashed my first rom (the luna theme in my sig) the puzzle lock screen had overwritten the default "slide glass" one. however, since then, I haven't seen it at all. I tried enabling this and rebooting, but still no lock screen, can anyone clue me in?

The only time I see the Puzzle Unlock screen is after a missed txt or call. Other that that its the Slide. Not sure if that might help narrow down where to look but best I got.
The Slide it seems is there to Open the device completely and the Puzzle Screen seems to only come up if there is an Option of two choices (Usually two puzzle pieces to pick from). Open completely or Open Phone or Msgs.

Sorry, after I wrote my post earlier I realized I should have specified this up front. What you're describing is the stock lock screen, and that it still does (when i miss a call/recieve a text).
What I'm referring to is; after I flashed clockwork and my first custom rom (luna), the normal "glass slide" lock was replaced by a new lock screen, that just had one puzzle piece on the left and you dragged that right to the open spot, so it was WAYYYYY easier to get (you only had to slide like 1/4" of the screen total) but I haven't had this come back at all since that first rom, but it does give me the stock puzzle stuff (missed call/text)
What I'm wanting to get rid of is that horrible "slide glass to unlock" screen that you basically have to drag your finger across the entire screen to get to unlock.
I do realize there are apps for this (i've been using GOTO lock screen) but I'd rather not have to work around it like that, and I want to know what is intended when "enabling" this "puzzle lock screen" from the advanced tab in recovery.
This is one of the things that I'm (slowly) working on. I've got something that is a little more pressing on the plate right now. If it starts working, you'll want it more.
'nuff said Thanks for all your time and effort with what you're doing!

I am there with ya. if you figure it out let is all know. Would love to see a one handed solution.
I also came a crossed this today, have any advancements been made?? Thanks
It stopped working after EB16, was working fine in EA11 with themes that supported it.. The only way to get it back right now is to go back to EA11.
EB16 is much much smoother and until phidelt82 releases the fix for it, I for one can put up with it..
I think I know the answer....but I am hoping someone knows if there is a way to turn this off. It's so big. Hate it. As far as I can tell...its not optional.

Nope, can't turn it off.
not yet, give it time for the framework to be ripped apart. root and s-off have just arrived, patience
Agreed that it's a bit large, but I actually like the feature.
My biggest complaint with the TB (other than TFT vs SAMOLED screen) is the placement/arrangement of the capacitive menu buttons at the bottom of the screen. I don't have tiny hands, but they're not particular big either, so the size of the phone and the placement of the Home button make it just about impossible for me to use the phone with just one hand like I do my 4" phones. My thumb just can't reach the Home button when holding it in my right hand without risking dropping it, so it's difficult to do the long press to get the recent apps screen up. I can comfortably drop the shade and select from there, though, so I like it. Obviously a YMMV thing, and accessing the Home screens still takes two hands for me.
yeah, the recently used apps in the notification bar was poorly thought out. It's redundant as holding the home button does the same thing and isn't needed. If they were going to put anything up there, it should've been the quick toggles like the Galaxy S line of devices.
Yes...I also miss the quick toggle from Cyan....I still find myself pulling down the shade only to realize its not there.
And I miss being able to dismiss notification with a sideways swipe.....A LOT!

Check out Widgetsoid. It does what you want but takes a bit of setup
Couldn't you just use a different launcher like ADW? Or is it built into the framework? If so, what a turn off.
