[REQ] Ripple Lock Mod

I tried this app out, and it is really cool.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free
Being able to pull the thing anywhere to unlock is nice
But the nicest thing is having the ability to pull 1of4 apps into the center and it unlocks to that app(def awesome for the camera)
However...here's the issue. It's an app, that means it needs to always run(memory/battery hog) and, my AOSP Lockscreen starts first, i unlock that then the Ripple Lock comes up.
Or...pretty much any lockscreen that has the ability to unlock to a specific app would be awesome
Does anyone think they would be able to make a mod to turn RippleLock(or similar) into the default main lock screen, not an app??

ok.... this thread seems a little bit dead...
Never mind, but let me tell you that I like your idea, unfortunately I am not able to this so but it sure would be great if someone really did look into this

Here is how I got it to work.
1. Stop ripple lock.
2. Disable stock lock screen with "No Lock" from the market and reboot phone.
3. Start ripple lock.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the great lock screen
"Home-Less and Iconic"

Thanks guys! I've been looking for something like this.

Thanks guys, this app is really cool. Also, ripple lock 2.5.5 has a "fix double lock issue" setting. Haven't tried it yet cause I already downloaded and am using the No Lock app that K0G suggested. When I'm out of class I'll uninstall No Lock and try that function.

[Q] Any way to disable the (pin) screen lock for incomming calls?

Hi,
I use a pin to lock my screen. It kicks in after 15 minutes of idle time.
My problem is then when I have an incoming call I first have to unlock the screen using the slider and then also have to enter my pin.
I'm using ARHD 2.1.12 so it's Sense 3.0. I can't recall this happening on Sense 2.x so maybe this is a feature? But if it is there might be a way to disable it and that's what I'm looking for.
N.B.: Yes, I did search the forum before ;-)
Thanks in advance!

Bummer :-(

Does this happen on pattern lock?
Maybe you should alert mike1986 about this issue

Hi Mitraidos, thanks for your reply.
Yes it happenes with pattern lock too:
1. Call is incomming and my phone was idle for more then 15min (so the pin/pattern lock kicks in)
2. I have to unlock my screen using the slider
3. I have to enter my pin/pattern
A friend of mine has an HTC Sensation with stock Sense. He has no such issue. Maybe it's because of the No-Sense Script, because that also changes my lock-screen (I don't have that Sense 3.0 Ring but the Vanilla Slider instead).

hi there,
This issue is caused by the no-sense script. I was using the exact same config and, with the latest release, using no-sense removes the lock screen answer (which allows you to answer a call without unlocking) and also the LiveWallpaper picker. Haven't had a chance to look at this in detail yet... though a quick look at the no-sense script doesn't throw up anything obvious.
But i can definitely confirm that this issue is caused by no-sense

Hi Bantu85,
so the "lock screen answer" is some sort of Sense feature.
But what keeps me wondering is that the No-Sense Script didn't change for over half a year now. It's still v0.16 as it was when I first used it in ARHD 1.1x where it didn't remove the lock screen answer.
So it might really be the best to alert mike1986 about this issue. I'm definitely not the only one having this problem

I now contacted Mike1986 regarding this issue. If there are any news on the problem I will post them here.

Pattern lock only

I want to completely disable the regular slide lock, and use pattern lock only. I downloaded the "No Lock" app from the market but this disables both the slide lock and the pattern lock. I want to remove the slide lock and retain the pattern lock. The slide lock provides no phone security if someone walks by and picks it up, and with the pattern lock enabled you have to do do both it and the slide which is kind of a pain in the ass. My old Samsung Moment didn't need to do both...I could just pick one or the other. Any suggestions are appreciated.

With just pattern unlock enabled you don't have to slide to unlock too..I have pattern enabled and I'm not sliding as well..no need for a separate app
/Droid3

I've been unable to come up with that. How do I disable the slide-lock? Everytime I enable the pattern lock, I still have to complete the slide-lock and then do the pattern as well.

Which ROM?

Just stock right now. I do have the device rooted but I haven't had a chance to get recovery installed and go to a ROM (Just got it friday)

Ah. Try a custom ROM. That may get what you want.

I'm on cm9 if that helps lol
/Droid3

CM9 still has the same issue as far as having to pull the slider across the screen and entering the passcode/pattern. The only other option available on CM9 is the keyboard slide unlock, but I don't think that will help him either.
I don't think there is a way to get to the pattern/passcode screen without pulling the slider across the screen first to let the system know that you want to unlock the phone. Pressing the unlock button on the top of the phone still takes you to the screen to pull the slider. As far as I know this is standard for not only stock android, but all of the ROMs as well.

I use the app NoLock from the market to disable my lockscreen (stock ROM), but enabling pattern lock forces me to use the lockscreen as well. I wonder why the one is dependent on/tied to the other.

That is a complete lie because here I am without the slide to unlock..not trying to start a war but all I know is I had slide to unlock on..kept having the phone slide open in my pocket so I switched to a more secure lock. (Pattern) and now all I have to do is the pattern unlock..unless my one phone is a freak among freaks, you are wrong

Wow, okay. My comment was based solely on personal experience with the android software. I'm not a dev, but I've been rooting my android and using custom roms since the Original G1 came out, and I've never seen an unlock screen that doesn't have a slider. I'm not calling you a liar, but in my experience, Custom ROM or stock, I've always had to drag the slider across the screen to get to the pattern unlock.

I removed my pattern lock because I hated having to both pattern and slide. I imagine there is a file somewhere we can edit to fix this. Anyone know what files/apk controls the lock screens

lol not trying to call you a liar either but on my old inc and now on my d3 I have never had this issue..speaking from personal experience too lol

Well, would you mind explaining how you got it to work like that then? Obviously I've never seen it work like that, and the OP can't get it to work either.

My previous phone, a Samsung Moment didn't require the slide and pattern lock both together, I could enable either one stand alone. It was a custom rom and was 2.3 based. Other than that I don't have much more info...

Instead of No Lock, try No Lock Screen. Similar functionality. I used it when I just had Go Locker. By default, one would have to unlock go locker, unlock android slide unlock, then enter the pattern. No Lock Screen effectively removed the default lock screen and kept the pattern.

try "Unlock with Wifi"
however, this only works when you are connected to the set wifi

I go into security..hit lock or lockscreen (or whatever its called)..then change to pattern..put in my pattern then voila I'm done..I don't do anything special its just what happens..its what happened on all my other phones too so idk what you guys are doing different
/Droid3

Any progress on this? I'm using default CM9 as well and face the same issue. However, on some ROMs which are based on CM9 I do not have to slide and use pattern together.

Same issue here
This has annoyed me A LOT since i bought my Droid 3. For what i read, it is embeded inside motorola software, that slide to unlock feature cannot be removed. We are used to see Samsungs, where the its possible to set the only unlock mode to pattern or pin... well... not in Motorola. And after a while you will notice that even the apps that are made to remove the slide-to-unlock sometimes fail. So, to solve this, we would need someone with A LOT of knowledge on programing and Motorola APIs, maybe even have to mess with the kernel... =(

4.2 Lockscreen - a step backward?

Hi all,
I cannot but tell you this huge doubt that has been haunting me since I got my Nexus 4: is this new 4.2 lockscreen really an improvement?
For me, it can be considered as a step forward (widgets) and two steps backward (camera and Google Now).
Let me explain:
Step back 1: the camera is now accessible only by swiping the screen to the right
Step back 2: Google Now is hidden as a tiny, little, dotted ring in the far bottom of the screen (see attached image)
Step forward: widgets to the left screen
This is all related to the new circle lock widget, that now allows you only to unlock the phone by dragging the center to whatever position in the borders (see attached image).
And you wanna now why Google did this? I'm strongly convinced they did it because of Apple's lockscreen patent. No joke and no flame intended here. If you read the patent, it clearly says that
The device is unlocked if contact with the display corresponds to a predefined gesture for unlocking the device.
Click to expand...

Well, with this upgrade the "predefined gesture" exists no more. Before Android 4.2, the only way you could slide to unlock was to move from point A (center) to point B (right): that's exactly what we call a "predefined gesture". Now you can slide to unlock from point A (center) to point B (right), or point C (left), or point D (bottom), and so on. In Android 4.2 the user is free to unlock to whatever position he or she feels like, Google is safe from Apple lawtrolls, but my impression is that we all lose here.
If this is not the reason, I can't figure out why they did this.
Honestly, who cares to unlock to whatever position? It is an automated gesture, I hardly see anyone saying "Oh, thank God, I really needed to swipe left and now I can, good job Google".
Now, instead of having three of the most useful apps in one place, and unlocking them immediately, we have to break this process in three different procedures. This is not immediate, this is awful and I'd like Google to revert to how things were before. They can leave the widgets, but the circle lock widget has to be restored as we have seen it in 4.1.
What do you think? Is this new lockscreen really this big improvement or, like me, do you see more cons than pros?

overall, im ok with it. like the google now thing is fine. but sliding left and right can sometimes be bothersome, but it wont kill me

It is just the start. They will build on it.

I was worried as well, After using it on my GNex i have to say i like it, Alot of 3rd party apps have updated and are usable like Hd Widgets and Falcon for twitter. Im sure many more will follow.Getting to the camera and google now still only take 1 swipe. I see where you are coming from but adding functionality is hardly a step back. You dont have to use widgets and getting to Gnow and the camera are just as simple

i really do like the google now being down there. its where the home button actually is, which makes sense since you do drag up from the home button to get to google now quickly when on any screen (besides the lock screen of course). a bit more organized and less confusing for those who are coming to this phone for the first time

I just want my clock widget to get better from the black eye it's got.

What I'm saying is that the overall third party widget idea is more than welcome, but Google could have done much better by keeping Google Now and the Camera app within the lock circle and giving more space to widgets: that would have been accessible not only by swiping to the left, but also to the right.

You know, at first I thought they had eliminated Google Now completely, then a friend of mine told me that it was in fact hidden behind that little dotted circle.
Every time you unlock in 4.1, you see a giant Google Now logo; in 4.2, if you want to get access to it in the lock screen, you have to go figure it out.

but youre used to it being on the lock screen, like sliding it up. im saying more for those who are new to the phone. they may be like "oh, sliding up on the home button gives me google now. cool!" then they will think that, and when going to the lock screen, it'll be the same process for them. now thats only my speculation. but i understand what you mean

It looks like a bug for me!!! The 4.1 lockscreen was way better!

Old lockscreen found running on 4.2 Nexus 4
Thought this might interest you, also I would love to know how this is possible.
Here in the UK I tried out a Nexus 4 in a Carphone Warehouse store yesterday. We opened the box for the first time, booted up the phone and it presented us with the 4.1 version of the lockscreen .
The thing is, the phone was running on Android 4.2, I checked the settings, it was confirmed to be Android 4.2.
I am desperately trying to find a way to restore the old lock screen. The camera loads slower, the widgets are rubbish and I hate the new clock typeface.
Does anyone else know how this could be possible? The phone was unboxed and came straight from Google.

if you read reviews on the device, they were running 4.2 without the lockscreen widgets. the OTA implemented the functionality. idk why everyone thinks its bad. im ok with it. maybe the devs will include the option to have the old lockscreen in a custom ROM in the future

Oh now that is interesting, I'm very surprised Google didn't allow people to retain the old lock screen. One can only hope they listen to complaints and roll out an option to toggle widgets, customise clock typeface, etc.
I find accessing the camera by swiping to be a slower experience than before. It makes all that work speeding up the shutter seem a little pointless.
Not only that but sliding between widgets is very awkward when you have a phone case on. Step backwards indeed.

Initially I didn't like it, but it's kinda grown on me now. And I actually like the look of the clock with the hour in bold :victory:

If it's ever too humid or I'm too sweaty, making the phone that easy to unlock one way or another leads to some nasty accidents in the pocket. One time I ended up pocket calling two people over 20 times in the period of an hour. And that was with the original slide to unlock. It was so bad I had to put a pin lock on it temporarily.

For those complaining about the bold hour font on the clock you can easily download a mod to change it.
I didn't like the two flashing boxes that appeared for the widget screens so I downloaded a mod and now I just see the clock and the pattern unlock.

Really? I haven't found any bugs whatsoever in 4.2 so far.

Way to remove password text from lock screen?

Is there any way to do this? I can't find any info on it anywhere, at least not for this phone. I have a beautiful picture of a dear friend who just passed as my lock screen background, and that stupid "enter backup password" text is right over his face >:[
I'm rooted on 4.4.4 with xposed, and I'm comfortable editing build props or system files if that's what it takes. Thanks in advance.

Well, I did find one semi-solution; Alternate lock screen app.
I've been using C locker, which is the only one I found that works with the finger scanner. No text on face, and it had widgets & stuff too. Ideally I'd like to just fix the stock lockscreen, but I guess this is good enough.

Wow that's great then..I'll try it straight away..top man
