Ran into the issue where the lockscreen shortcut wasn't showing the Phone in the list. It was kind of pissing me off, so I made a simple app that will simply launch the Phone app. That's it. It's just a shortcut essentially.
Install as a regular APK.
I've named it "Phone" in the app drawer and gave it the same icon (as seen in screenshots below). I can rename it to like Dialer or something if you guys prefer to be able to distinguish it, but I'm sure this will do the trick for the majority who have this issue.
Works great thanks! It was pissing me off too after flashing ROMs it would dissappear
Thanks

How do you install this on your sensation? I tried clicking the link and installing as a regular apk as I normally would and it says the content is not supported on the phone. No application can be found to open this file. I even tried scanning the QR Code and it doesn't seem to work as well. Any suggestions? I appreciate your help as I am a noob on here.

Install astro and look in options, there should be a setting to enable all downloads from the internet.
Man, thanks so much for this APK. Just ran into this issue myself, and your solution worked out perfectly.
Any help for this issue? Got a "The application DialerShortcut (process com.roman.dialershortcut) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. This happens everytime I try to press on the shortcut.

No. Extract the .pak files from the zips. Transfer them over to your phone via USB and use a file explorer program to install the apks.
or
use http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine to sideload the apps

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

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.

There's no point in getting stuff off filesharing sites when there's at least a couple free ones in the market already
The free gingerbread keyboard in the market works fine for me. After using the Nexus S since day one, it's hard to go back to a non multitouch keyboard.
How do you guys activate alternative keyboards? Mine is always popping up the default HTC kb no matter what I have enabled @ settings.
I've tried Swype, Better Keyboard and the one mentioned in this thread and none of those will activate. Already tried to reboot without luck
My chosen keyboard stays selected @ settings though even after reboot.
Thanks in advance.

open your browser or create an email or just open twitter. When you see the input box and when the kb pops up. LONG PRESS the input box. Another box should pop up with a mini menu where you would choose "input method". If you have selected keyboards to alternate from in your settings then you should see a selection of installed keyboards. GL

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.

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?

Kidding, by adding a widget ti the screen (if you've downloaded it from the htc widgets app)
Or by installing a 3rd party one from market
Alternatively you can opprn the command prompt and type begin, writeln(LOL), readln; end. But that is only for hackers cuz we do it the hard way

good tip for the dock mode, i always saw it running, but never saw the app before

EDIT: when looking at the all, its 0.00kb, with NO app data or cache...looks like they deleted the app data, but forgot to uninstall...slackass T-Mobile :/
Go to the market & download "any cut". Open it & select "new shortcut" & then select "activity". Once the list loads, scroll down till you find the entry for the sound recorder. Select it, follow the prompts, and it will add a shortcut to the sound recorder to your home screen. Voila- sound recorder.

You do know that it's HTC that does the software modifications that T-Mobile requests, right? So it's slackass HTC, not T-Mobile.
On another note, I agree that T-Mobile does always seem to request removal of useful things and add crap like MyAccount. We can get that off the market if WE want it. My best guess is that by the time they are done adding they're crap too much just is running the background so they start removing other stuff.
