So I've been wondering about this for awhile. I love the idea behind the lockscreen pattern. Its a pretty foward straight foward concept, draw a pattern to unlock the phone, of course everyone here gets that. Now my question is, is there an app, or perhaps even a rom, which let's you change the size of the grid on which you draw the pattern, and if so, can somebody point me in the right direction? I searched the market place and the forums and nothing turned up, maybe I'm just not searching for the right thing? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey guys! Long time reader, first time Android poster. Love the community!
Getting right down to it, I'm visually impaired but not blind. Some aspects of the Evo are just too small for me to read. Coming from an Iphone, I got spoiled with there three finger double tap zoom accessibility feature. I'm looking for something similar or even just some way to increase the font size of everything. I ran across this app http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.pbxes.fontsize/ but the comments state that it doesn't work for Evo.
Anyways. this has been something sought after by many people. I've been reading everything I can find searching Google and all I find are people wanting it, but not getting it. I'm willing to throw some cash at a developer to get this going. If it can be made an app I'm sure it will sell extremely well in the market, even if it is just Evo specific. If it has to be some kind of custom ROM there would still be a lot of people using it.
Sorry if something like this has been requested before, but I spent a lot of time searching and I didn't find anything useful. If there is already a solution, please PLEASE tell us.
Hey, hopefully this helps you out. Go on the market, and look for dolphin text sizer. It says you have to also download the dolphin web browser [both free], but the text sizer should be right up your alley. And just literally looked it up for ya.
That is kind of neat. But.... it's not quite what I was looking for because this only works while in the browser. I'm looking to be able to zoom the entire screen and then pan it left and right. Or..... increase the font size of everything, including icons and contacts, timestamps... everything.
Here is a youtube video of the three finger zoom thing that the iphone does if you havent seen it before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1ZzDffl0sQ&NR=1 It really does a little more than he shows but you might get the idea.
Try Ideal Accessibility in the market. Kinda like a grid arrow pointing down. It profess having some good apps, but still looking.
Take a look at an app called lcddensity. You can use it to make everything on your screen either bigger or smaller. It resets on reboot, but you can make the effect permanent. You can also try changing your font to something a bit bigger than the standard font.

I made a app these days and now i published it on market
it is called ScreenZooM. Search for it (icon is a magnifier with a big green +)
i will atach a qrcode image
i can't post links coz i have 4 posts
Awesome!
Haha! WoW! Yeah 1 year later! This is pretty cool! I am having a little trouble getting the shake to work tho. It works once, then it wont work again. I'm running Decks 2.3.7 Stablistic on my evo, and I selected "custom" in the app.
But seriously, thanks! I thought this request was long dead and buried.
maybe i put sensitivity too small... and you need to shake harder?
You can try and the stock mode, maybe works better
cool app! Not something that I would probably use, but still, very cool work. thanks.

So Im loving this phone just like everyone else but im curiouse if it is possible to have the number of missed text and stuff on my lockscreen while i have security on such as the pattern feature? Or does it have to be on swipe in order for me to see any of this?

Use goSMS pro. You can customize it to act like an iPhone whenever someone texts you, it will show up in your screen without unlocking.

Really now? is it possible to get a screen shot of an example of this? haha just because im kind of married right now to the stock messaging app but that little detail you just mentioned might make me switch
Android 4.0 allows you to access the drop-down notification bar from the lockscreen. I'm not sure if it works when there's a password, though.
I don't have access to my phone for the next week, so I can't exactly test it for you, either.
EDIT:
So I looked up the issue a bit more, and found this old thread from last year talking about the GoSMS Pro lockscreen pop-up notifications:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231142
For some people it worked, but for others, it didn't. I suggest you give it a quick read.
Try DashClock of you are on 4.2 - looks great and does exactly what I need!
Search it up on Google Play, I cant post links yet
the drop-down notification bar from the lockscreen.
Hi, I have a one x on ATT, 2.20 rooted running cm10.
I have finally gotten a little settled on the way my phone works and now i want to change the looks. I've posted screenshots below. First off, I want a clock/weather widget that is similar to the one I have on my lockscreen. I found that as the dafault for cm10 and i have no idea how to get one for my homescreen. Can someone point me to a place where i can find a bunch of widgets or that specific kind?
Also, I want to change my notification bar,not just a black strip, and the icons(in the notification bar and home screen). How would i get to that? Am i suppose to look for cm10 skins (because a lot of them on the playstore seem like the same thing, rehashed with different colors)?
I've really enjoyed this forum and has helped me a lot (i just rooted it last night) and would really appreciate some help ! Thanks!
*ok i cant link outside of this site. any way to show these pics?
Flashed my S3 SGH-I747 with Dirty Unicorns and im loving it! its great so far but i do have some questions.
First is about using the voice features. I have the google app downloaded and i got the phone search to work but was wondering if there's a way to set it to come up when you double click the home button? I also cant seem to get the voice settings work in the messaging app. is there a way to fix that?
Second is about the lock screen wallpaper. It is the weirdest set up i've ever seen. How can i adjust the size of a picture or to adjust the wallpaper settings so that i can fit my custom images?
thats all i can really think of right now and any help is greatly appreciated!

bump! anyone?
I finally downloaded Good lock after reading some good things on it. I switched from C-locker from the app store. So amyways ive been trying to add the widgets i want on the lock screen and they dont show up. I go to Good lock>routines > default > then I click next till i get to "set layout" I add the widgets and click finish. Then i go to my lock screen and i just have a clock. Any help? Thanks
I'm in the same boat. Tried everything. Just happy for the change so i didn't bother saying anything!

If we cant figure it out, look into C-locker. Even the free version is awesome. It can be a little complicated to set up but if you have questions email the dev hes awesome at responding.
But I have some things i want to do that Clocker cant which is why i switched so I'm hoping someone can help!

Looks promising but the less software loaded the better. Good recommendation though.
I don't think you can replace the clock. You can only access the widgets by swiping down on the lockscreen clock.

I didnt think you could replace the clock, but i was under the impression that you could add other widgets to the lock screen
Swipe down from the clock on the lock screen and your widgets will show.
I see it now. Thanks. I wish they we on the main screen though.
