How to change from slide to answer to tap/click to answer - General Questions and Answers

I would like to change the slide to answer/decline call to something like tap/click to answer. Sliding drives me crazy because i have small hands and it is hard for me to slide rather than just tap. I just changed my Iphone4 to HTC One, on iOS I have had a mod called EZDecline which forced the stock system red decline and green answer button on every screen and it was good.
On HTC though, on the lockscreen there are slides - how to get rid of them without disabling lockscreen ?
I have TrickDroid v8 and Nova Launcher.

Really anyone did not change or mod that ?

Widget Locker Question

So i had a couple questions on widget locker. i searched for about 25 min, but couldnt fine the exact answer i was looking for.
1. Why is it that the sense ui slider is lower in widget locker than it should be? is there anyway i can get it to be in the same place it normally is?
2. How can i get incoming calls to go through the stock htc sense slider? because when the phone is locked, it just goes straight to the answer/decline buttons when receiving a call, as if the phone is already unlocked.
thanks!
#1 the dev said he was going to implement the ability to move sliders and resize widgets.
#2 ? I don't know
hope that helps...
It will go to the slider if the screen is off. I use widget locker and get the sense slider if I get a call with the screen off

really? on my phone it doesnt do that
Just use your home or back button to unlock the phone and then you don't have to worry about it. It gives you lot's more room on your screen for other goodies.
I dont have a issue with the lock screens when i recieve a phone call either.. maybe try going into advanced settings and enabling the "5 second rule". or i think I remember a setting in there about " show during phone call ".
As for slider location there are two, under "look and feel" "slider layout" or something like that you will see a list of sliders to choose from. by default its on "widget locker" which is enclair's slider but all the way on the bottom, if you scroll down the list you will see something like "standard android" or "enclair" my phone is dead or i'd look but play with the sliders you will find the enclair slider in the proper location
hope this helps
From Widgetlocker tool mode check out menu > settings > popups > hide incoming call
i tried all that, i think the problem was the phone was just not going to sleep due to widget locker, so when i'd call it would act as if it was awake and not require unlocking. thanks for the help! still wish i could move the sense slider bar to where it should be though

Had this same problem, had to stop using widget locker until dev comes with new update

Change phone answer action?

Is there a way to change the action required to answer the phone when it is locked and rings (and stay on Sense)? Currently you have to swipe down to answer and up to decline. Unfortunately, the screen is sensitive enough that sometimes when I am sliding it out of my pocket, I inadvertently decline the call. Would love to be able to change the action to a left/right motion, more AOSP, but keep sense. I know I can change the lockscreen to AOSP (either as a ROM option or by deleting the htclockscreen app), bit this does not change the phone answer action. Has anyone done this?
Thanks!

Just download it, open a file explorer, go to it's download location (wherever you downloaded it to) and click on it. Also remember to allow installation of non-market apps in the settings. Another way would to just search for it on the market. Market link - (Free) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free&feature=search_result ; (Paid) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen&feature=search_result .
This is pretty smooth,
One thing I thought was odd was that in your setup you have an Ad. While not odd in itself, you need to make money somehow. The ad was in Chinese, or Japanese, or some other symbol language.
I'd probably be more inclined to click an ad I could read, just a heads up.

Nice lock screen app, but the short cut settings are very unstable. Sometimes they work, most times they don't...
Like This . Thank You .
Tested the free version an view minutes and bought the app. Great look screen!
I like it but the use of a lockscreen is destroyed when just a home button exits the lock.
Great job dev!

Hey dev, I have a small glitch. Using the ripple lock and the phone was in sleep mode my alarm went off. I had no way of turning the alarm off. Nothing popped up giving me the option to turn the alarm off. The phone woke up locked but that was it. I was using the stock alarm if that matters.
Thanks.

Is there a way to disable the volume buttons? Right now when the volume buttons are pushed the screen turns on and makes a beep sound
i really love ripplelock, but i have one problem:
if i put my phone in airplanemode at night (to save some battery) and turn off airplanemode at the next morning, usualy the PIN-input-screen pops up. But if i install ripple lock, the PIN-input-screen doesnt pop up, regardless of the chosen double-lockscreen method. only while system security lock is enabled, the PIN-input-screen pops up, but this way i get an double lockscreen.
The only version, which works properly for me without this issue is v2.2, evrey other version above 2.2 has the descriped bug. Thats why i stick with this version and hope this issue will be fixed soon.
(Also I would love to see that the home-button doesnt unlock anymore, while the status-bar is hidden (one of two main reasons, why i use ripple lock instead of the modded system lockscreen, which looks nearly the same except for the visible status-bar and that the lock icon functions only as a slider).)
BTW: I'm on an rooted Desire HD with cm7
Pretty cool app. Slight bugs:
1st time I had a notification written in Chinese or something. Then came up in English after I got through that one. Maybe or maybe not a bug; maybe you could ask the user 1st time setup which language to use.
2nd bug is that I came out of standby and was at the homescreen and then the lockscreen loaded up a second or two later. Maybe it's my midrange phone (Galaxy Ace) causing it to be a bit laggy.
Otherwise pretty awesome app.
I love the look of honeycomb especially the lockscreen. I've been using Ripple Lock for about 3 weeks now. So far so good. Thank you Dev!

The: BSOL (Black Screen of Life)

Being a G2X user and experimenting with various custom ROMS; most of us are all to familiar with the so called SOD (Sleep of Death), AKA: BSOD (Black Sleep of Death) or (Black Screen of Death).
Regardless of what we choose to call it...
IT SUCKS.
We want Performance, Reliability, & acceptable Battery Life.
Having a Frozen or Locked-Up G2X(Phone)... JUST PLAIN SUCKS.
So to pay respect to the unpleasant/familiar SOD condition, I've decided to have fun with it.
I would like to introduce to you, what I call...
The: BSOL (Black Screen of Life).
I know a few of you were probably thinking (Bull SH!T Outta Luck) Lol
Anyways Here's the concept...
By stacking some of my favorite applications together & theming them.
I've attained a rather pleasant setup that seems to compliment the G2X's lack of RAM & other quirks and various limitations.
Here's the setup and why.
Feel free to use some or all of my settings. (Some will be based on Personal preference.)
My G2X screen loves to turn on as soon as there is a USB connection.
It's just annoying... this setup minimizes the impact.
Were going all Black... “How much more black could it be... None More Black!!!”
Let's start with the launcher.
-Lightning Launcher
I use it because it is light weight on resources, fast, stable, & highly configurable on my G2X.
Under: Customize Lightning> Current screen> Wallpaper & background>
I unchecked: Display the wallpaper & set Plain Color to... BLACK.
Then do the same for the App drawer.
Now over to the status Bar... cleaner is better so.
Remove the battery strength & all I show is: Data, Signal Bars, & Time.
We will load...
-T.E.A.M. Battery Bar for a Top Bar and change the Automatically Color Settings
I use: Green for Charging, Cyan Blue for Regular, Red for Full, Orange for Medium, & Red for low.
Oh I forgot to mention, I like Black therefore I like ICS themes, I use...
-Ice Cream Sandwich CM7 Theme
Lots of CM7 style ICS blue & black... Yum.
Anyways one of the best things about Lightning Launcher is the Drawer.
It can be infinitely Big, or infinitely small, I kinda use both.
You'll see later, but let me also state from a user standpoint I like Gesture swiping.
So we will set a swipe down to open the app drawer & a swipe up to show/hide the status Bar.
But better yet, Let me introduce some of you to...
-Sidebar Lite/Pro
Anyways by swiping from the edge of your screen, you can Always bring up your favorite apps.
Note: even from another application, without having to return to your launcher.
It's slick & once you try it, I doubt you'll ever want to go without it.
(Think of it similarly to the Ubuntu Mobile phone launcher)
Anyways back to the setup.
I'm right handed, so I set my Lightning Launcher's Swipe right to be:
-Fast Dialer
It's kinda Ugly by default, but once you go into settings & change TEXT=CyanBlue & Button/Backgrounds to Black it looks sick.
YES I too find the ads annoying (and wish the developer would release an ad free version) But...
It can be configured so: I can find & dial a contact in 2 clicks
Caveat: If you have so many contacts that start with the same letter you might have to scroll.
CONFUSION/CONFLICT & CLARIFICATION
Yes, BOTH Sidebar & Fast Dialer are configured to launch when swiping right
But... Swiping from the left edge of your screen (AKA edge-swipe) differs from swiping right from anywhere else.
As I said, “I am Right Handed”... So far we have the following.
-Swiping up= Shows or Hides the status bar
-Top screen Edge-swipe down = Shows Notification bar
(Inside I have my favorite Power widgets & Yes they are CyanBlue too)
But I also changed the carrier name to custom, & Inserted: First & Last-name
(I know that my carrier is WIND but having my name personalizes it even further)
-Left screen Edge-swipe right = Sidebar ALWAYS does (Even from another application)
-Swipe right = Fast Dialer (and I can find contact & dial in 2 clicks)
-Swipe down = Launcher drawer (I typically have mine sized to see every icon I have)
I don't need to read them as I know them by icon but if you need to you can zoom in.
Note: it supports pinch zoom in & out, but by hitting your menu button & then selecting Zoom it will toggle between: Fit ALL & Normal Icon Size.
Oh I almost forgot here's one of my favorites, I use...
-Screen Off and Lock
Then after enabling it, I configure Lightning launcher so that when I double click on any blank Spot
-The screen turns off without having to reach for the power button.
In this case it's basically anywhere on the phone. This adds both convenience & prevents your power button from wearing out prematurely.
Almost done.
Under Tablet tweaks inside CyanogenMod tweaks, I disabled the lock-screen.
(Before you crucify me about how insecure this is... I know the risks, thank you for your concern).
Why...???
After I Push the Power Button, the phone is ON. It's all black or if I kept the status bar displayed...
I can see the time & any new notifications... then I double tap & the screen turns off.
VOILA, VERY, Very Slick.
To Finish the Set-up I use...
-Small Call
Why...???
I hate when I'm doing something on my phone & the dialer snaps to the forefront and kicks me out of what I was doing. This incoming call is usually from someone I don't know or even want to talk to.
Small Call let's me continue what I'm doing & in a more subtle manner choose to accept or Ignore calls.
I have a semitransparent black box near the bottom of my screen where I can read texts & click to respond or ignore. You can even set a default decline action.
Clicking the RED X in the box will close the pop-up box yet leave the mail notification as un-read.
Perfect for an angry wife or girlfriend cause you can show them how you never even checked your message... LOL (Just kidding).
Anyways...
That's my setup, & I Like it... hope some or maybe all of these suggestions can improve your G2X.
Time for some screen shots...
Wish me Luck, as I've never posted any before.

Hope this works...

Unofficial directory of features/requests for the Verizion HTC M8

This is an unofficial directory for issues/features that we want to see fixed/added via ROMS or software updates. Simply post a request, and if it is appropriate and acceptable it will be added into the directory. This post serves as a place where DEVS can find an issue or feature and can... well... fix it! I plan for most of these to be at least partially exclusive to sense 6 and or the Verizon HTC m8. I will update the directory nightly
GUIDELINES​*The issue must be something that more than one person can relate to.
*The issue cannot pertain to another app. I.E. if an app is crashing too much.
*K.I.S.S Keep it simple stupid.
*Look before you post! I will update the directory and see if it's there. This will save us both some time
*Lastly off-topic posts or typo requests won't bother me the slightest, but just know your boundaries
*Please refrain from things that are basic in custom ROMS . These include but are not limited to navigation bar tweaks, and system ui visual changes
If you see a user post an issue that you know a fix for, give him a hand

Solutions
Please remember general UI tweaks can easily be edited with many xposed modules or ROM baked controls
✓ Allow the wake gestures to be used when the device is laying down
Calibrate G sensor poorly intentionally.
✓ Remove unnecessary wifi notifications "wifi network available"
Option in WiFi settings and flashable zip.
✓ Native wifi tethering
Custom ROMS.
✓ Full control over notification bar icons. Nfc, boom sound, etc.

✓ Custom status bar toggles
Now in stock ROM as well as most custom roms.
*In the quick toggles tiles, make the brightness toggle open a traditional slider
*Remove that friggin 4gLTE icon when wifi is on
*Custom actions for motion launch gestures
*Don't auto wake screen on call end
*Quick toggle/widget for toggling motion launch gestures
*Email widget for stock sense email app

*App ops standardized
*Remove 10 incorrect password attempt data wipe.
*More options for auto device sleep/lock
*More sense features ported or modified for aosp use. (This one is a toughie)

*Allow the wake gestures to be used when the device is laying down

This is getting annoying for me. The double tap to wake and the slide up to unlock is an amazing feature. But it's almost worthless if we can't use it when the phone is laying down. My phone is on my desk at work most of the day, and it would be great if I could just double tap to see what notification just came in.
I think it has to do with the g-sensor. When I first turned the phone on, the pop up menu said that the unlock gestures only work when the screen is being held in portrait mode. So I'm thinking that when it's laying down, the phone doesn't know exactly what orientation it should be in. I've found that even holding the phone upright just a touch allows the gestures to work fine.
Changing shortcuts of the gestures while the screen is off? For instance, swipe left while screen is off launches 'X' app...
Unlocked wireless tether. Get rid of the various wifi notifications. LED torch quick toggle.

When on a call, press power button to turn screen off, when call ends the screen turns back on by itself. Why? Idk but very annoying, only HTC phones do this!
If someone can tweak it to where when in a call the user manually presses the power button to turn screen off, the screen stays off even when the caller or whoever hangs up.
A feature that would be great for me is a quick toggle/widget to toggle the motion launch gestures. I have to go through all the settings menus every time I want to toggle it (which is only when I'm at work). When at work, my phone stays in my pocket, and I am moving around a lot, so sometimes my thigh will unlock the phone and open apps, along with draining my battery.
Changing images for navigation bar.

U WOT M8?
Just pointing out a few things:
1. As far as the WiFi notification, you can get rid of this by going to Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced, and de-selecting the "Notify me" option. This is what I did on my previous phone (M7) and my M8, and since de-selecting that box, I've never seen the WiFi notification pop up.
2. The Wake Gestures actually can be used when the phone is laying down. This also annoyed me to no end initially, until I saw someone post that you can just move your phone slightly to make the wake gestures work. I'm assuming this works because it trips the internal movement sensor, which then makes the phone think that it's been picked up. The movement doesn't even have to be vertical; I just slightly move my phone to the side a bit, and it's enough to make the wake gestures work for me.
Email Widget for the native Sense email app...i cannot BELIEVE this was left out by HTC/VZW/whoever...WTF!
I'd like to be able to adjust the grid size of the home screens, 4 across is too spaced out, I like it lining up with 4 icons and app drawer icon at the bottom.
Also, as mentioned in another post, I'd like to be able to customize the keys next to the home key, i.e. move the back key to the right and replace the multitask key with the menu key etc.
ability to hide the standard soft buttons and replace them with LMT style popup buttons.
Ability to toggle individual gestures on and off. I'd like to have double tap to wake, but turn off swipe to wake. I end up waking the device with a swype simply by pulling it out of my pocket which I don't want.
Toggle automatic factory reset on 10 bad unlock attempts on and off or set the number of failed attempts to an arbitrary number.
Able to remove ANY of the always on notificatios. Alarm, keyboard, hearing aid boost, nfc, etc

I love the "knock on" feature, tho I agree, it would be very nice if it worked even when the phone is laying flat. But why is there no "knock off"? Don't they kinda go hand in hand?
Ability to have more than 10 alarms

Slide finger across statusbar to control brightness like Gravitybox (enabling in Gravitybox does not work on our devices).
Ability to display notifications from more than the stock HTC apps when using the Dot Matrix case.

I have found that tapping the screen 3 times (instead of 2) will usually wake the screen while it is laying on a desk. Just use a little bit of force on the first tap... It seems like an accelerometer needs to detect motion before the screen digitizer wakes up.
This would still be a nice feature request, though I have a feeling it won't be possible without having a significant effect on battery life.

Three taps with the phone laying flat has been working for me as well.
I would love to see a built in data transfer rate in the status bar like Android revolution has for the m7
