Is there an app for this? And does the phone have to be rooted? just seems practical on the touch screen
What do you mean, like for in-call options?
I think he doesn't want to hit the green phone button, but the screen, to answer a call, as well as ending the call w/o using the red End button.
Look there has been multiple threads on this... that and a full screen pic for the incoming calls
Yea i just saw a thread for the full screen pic but i can careless about that.. all i want it the answer and the end to be on the screen so i dont use the buttons on the phone.. used an iphone for a bit and now i keep catching myself touching the screen in frustration.. So is there something? and does it require a root? can I have a link if its not to much trouble ..the search feature here forwards u to google so its tough to use

so, you have only ever used an iPhone? Never a phone with buttons? it's not that hard to get used to it...
No smart ass i only used it for a day while unlocking it for my gf, i found it useful and was wondering if there was an app.. is that to much? This is the only toch screen phone ive used and the silicon case doesnt let the buttons light come through so it would be perfect for me. sorry for asking. And i didnt say its hard to get used to it just seems practical to have it on screen.

1st I'm guessing your a kid so thats strike number 1. Strike number 2 if you've read em then you'll or should understand that NO YOU CAN'T YET. Strike 3 I really can't see any one helping you when some one asks you a question you being an ass to them. Go check on Howard Forums they are more to your liking over there and will spoon feed things to you like you want.

Don't worry about them. Your question is legitimate, and the suggestion to use the buttons on the phone was a workaround, not a resolution. These internet tough guys like to show their virtual muscles for everyone to see. Just learn to ignore them.
And yes, the ROMs require root access first. I recommend this thread if you already haven't read it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480

Turbo, i apologize for coming off as an ass. Bad day and I took it out on you.
Back to topic.
I would agree with Turbo, it would be cool to have a function like this, however, when you are on your phone, your cheek rubs against the screen, (and don't tell me yours don't ever touch the screen) it would be nice to be able to have this option with an enable/disable function.

Well that WAS a problem b4 cupcake, not sure if you noticed or not but while on a call after several seconds the screen locks/sleeps, and when on a call and the Dialpad is up it requires a "Double-Tap to unlock" on screen to unlock it. Unless your chewing gum or bouncing it off your cheek it should not be a problem. You can also use Shake Awake.
Now if someone could make a app like OP wants, it would be NICE, as I been looking for something like it for a long time.

True, forgot about that. also if you are using a headset, it doesn't matter either...
Yes, the Hero ROM describes what you're talking about. It has a Green "ANSWER" button and a red "DECLINE" button, just like the iPhone.
Unfortunatly, an APP can't do this yet because it's all built into the version of the phone, not an application itself. If someone could port it over, that'd be great!

well if im correct i dont think the hero rom is the only 1...i may be wrong but i think the HTC Magic ports that Haykuro did also had a different way to answer the phone it had the HTC dialer, its been a while since i used that rom been dealing with Hero, its a little more stable and user friendly then hero you may want to check that rom out.

i get what is being asked. i'd love to see it too, or even an option to turn on/off a function that takes the functions of the make call and end call functions right on the screen, and nice looking.
but then, i'm always ating things i have twice that do the same thing. and i cant break off the buttons... lol

I used to run off of Haykuro's builds since he started making them. I haven't seen any HTC builds with an on-screen answering option like the Hero build. I know all about the HTC dialer, but there's no on-screen things that are drastically different.
Besides, the Magic and the Dream have no difference UI-wise except for the tiny extra features that Haykuro's "H" builds have offered.
I have rooted my phone and am using CyanogenMod 4.2.14.1
I was wondering if there are any interesting lock screens I could use. My criteria:
1. NOT the ones in the marketplace, have tried them out and don't really like any of them
2. FREE - this is a minor request and definitely not something I want to pay for (heck I've already paid $400 for the phone!!)
3. relatively easy to install. I managed to root my phone with SPL 1.76.007 which took a looong time and was difficult so I know my way around it. BUT, I am not willing to take any risks. I don't mind flashing something, but, that's probably the extent to which I want to take risks.
The screen itself:
1. Simple but with useful features, such as music changing ability, battery status, etc.
2. Some sort of password/lock code (not essential)
3. Background image
Thanks!

boot into recovery and flash it on top of your rom
Thanks it worked.
Are there any other options? This one isn't bad but it seems a bit useless to me. Bit odd that you have to press a button to see the battery when it's right there on top!

Nope that's pretty much it. I know hero and eclair roms have a different lockscreen but they don't work for 1.6 roms. Only other option is to flash a hero/eclair rom or get one from the market. If you want one like the iPhone then get lock 2.0. Its not half bad.
I like having the battery button on the lockscreen. The battery on top gives some indication as to howmuch battery you have left but I like knowing exactly how much life is left in my baby lol

Thanks for the response.
Not unhappy with this one per se, but, it just doesn't do it for me.
Lock 2.0 is actually pretty good but I'm in Singapore and I don't have access to the paid market (which in the long run is a good thing!) and the free version has too many restrictions. I can't even add a background.
My main thing is I want a nice clock and background and battery display. This Stericson one does all that but it just feels a bit "meh" to me. Not sure why, not blown away ...Guess I'll survive!
If anyone knows of anything (theme or lock screen) to spice things up do let me know!
email me [email protected]
Does anybody know of a theme or something to make the default lockscreen
transparent??
use lockbot on the market, its pretty good. theres a free version and its still good
First of all let me say that I am a brand new owner of a Captivate (switched from iPhone 3GS) and I'm absolutely loving it. I used to be a big user of jailbreak apps so naturally I've been diving right into the modding community of Android. I was just wondering and this may be a tired, old topic but is there any way at all to change the backlight period on the capacitive buttons. Like maybe set them so they only turn off when the screen is locked? Its not too big of a deal (I've had the phone for 2 days now and have already learned their positions for the most part) but it'd be a nice tweak to have. I'm using BLN already so I know theres someway to control the buttons but haven't been able to find such a tweak. Any help would be great thanks!

Hi All. Long time follower on XDA for the G1 (9 months after the G1 debut) but first time posting. I just recently did the 2708+hboot hack for the 14mb to flash and test the lastest ROMs. I've tried everything that is currently available for download on XDA development and found that Laszlo 5.2 to be the smoothest and fastest (just as fast as Super CSDI).
I read through the entire post to see if anyone has experienced the same thing as I did, but no one really did. This ROM is amazing and everything is working great, but one thing. My question is--The Audible selection and screen lock sound do not work. One person ask about the screen lock sound not working, but no one answered. Is anyone else getting this problem besides me and is there a fix. I flash it several times and on 3 different G1s and get the same results. Maybe the download of the ROM I'm flashing is slightly corrupt. Any thoughts??? Thanks everyone for all your help through these years keeping the G1 alive and still amazing.

im not using that rom at the moment but as far as i know the sounds were working.. is he using a kernel with it? maybe its messing with it..
Don't know what you mean by "Audible selection", but I would guess for the lock/unlock sound you need to install the audio from addons (since it contains the file). Type "addons" in terminal and follow the on-screen prompts.

Hi Adam, your the Man!
Thank you so much. Your suggestion fixed it. I was playing with Super Aosp 6.0 when you made the suggestion and I was very hesitant to flash again to find out that it might do nothing. But the speed of Laszlo was just to good to not find out, so I did and I'm glad I did.
I'm surprised that hardly anyone knew what I was talking about. So to clarify, if you go into Setting>Sound and then scoll down a bit you will see Audible selection and Screen lock sound options. The Audible selection is when it makes a 'Click' type sound when you select something. That extra audible feedback is very helpful.
I was going to just put up with Laszlo 5.2 even without sound if I had too, but I'm glad I don't.
Now I can finally stay with this for awhile to see if it is stable as well as fast.
Thanks again.

Not to be a jerk but you could've answered your own question by simply using the search function in settings. Before you could fully type "Touch input" it will have narrowed it down to the setting you were looking for.
That setting search function is an awesome tool with all the options we have.

No I read that you did everything you could. The sad thing is typing on the literal text in the setting search would've taken you right to the answer.
I just wish you put as much effort in the "exhaustive search", as you put into griping about good advice..
I mean you could just take a gander at the screen shots and see how easy it is.
Nevermind next time you get a pop up that's too hard to decipher, you can make the daunting task of searching settings.
And that's how you fish.

Wow you are seriously butt hurt over this.
Literally you could've been like "wow, so many ways to do something on this phone thanks for one more tool in my tool box".
Nevermind checking the extensive manual that answers a lot of these questions. Let's not pretend this is hard info to find. It's the phone doing what it was designed to do, not some broken feature you need to troubleshoot.
I keep forgetting this is XDA, it's easier to ask for the answer right in front of you as opposed to learning how to answer the questions yourself.
I'll report back to my support group and tell them mission accomplished. Someone learned something new.
Knowing is half the battle!
...
If you pick up your phone with your hand over the proximity sensor (top of phone), you will get this pop-up. I turned the setting off and it went away but the screen did unintentionally come on while in a pocket. Therefore, it appears best to leave it on and ignore the message.
Can a mod delete pcriz's comments and androidwarriors responses after the question was answered. I think this topic was a valid question.
Samsung has switched up a lot for the better but the downside is they moved it all around. We are stuck in such a monotonous get to point A to point B environment these days the answer was right in front of his face but he couldn't see it because he was too used to the tools he always uses. I am still learning little things about this phone as I go too. I think his question was valid, seeing as Samsung experience is still quite new, Samsung experience is such a huge improvement over TouchWiz, the note9 is loaded to the gills with features and nuances and Samsung (and other OEMs including Google) having features that have trained us to a certain mindset for years. Coming back to the note line after a hiatus hasn't been overwhelming for me but I can see where coming to the note would be like a longtime Android user switching to iOS or even vice versa. For me, still using my work iPhone is so underwhelming I can't figure stuff out and I am pretty savvy with tech. iOS users can find Android overwhelming. And listening to the apologies Apple users come up with now, compared to yesteryear, when many people are finding out iOS isn't as easy to use as has been claimed, it's just what they grew up on, kind of like learning a language. There is a lot to grasp by being immersed in the ecosystem, but more to find out by asking details and learning, learning that can be turned into a tool to find more stuff on your own. Dude obviously tried and put out one more flag up for something he might not have had control over and the response was douchebaggery at it's finest. I find the questions dumb when people are asking me how do I get such great battery life and how they can do it but are unwilling to take their phone off full brightness, theme it to take advantage of OLED's self emitting pixels and are stacked to the gills with social media and email accounts because they have to be that connected and are not willing to streamline portability. Finding the sweetspot for my notifications on the note9 was aggravating for the first time in years as there are many layers to it now. I had to experiment and read about other questions to figure it out. Settings are still taking some time to get used to with main settings, app settings and figuring out where the granular settings are when they're not in places or labeled to what we are accustomed to. To each his own but pcriz obviously overstepped the bounds for a valid question.
