Ok.. so recently flashed to the new cog 3.04 and noticed that they took out the "swype to unlock" if that is the correct term for it (sorry still brand new iwth my phone... i noticed they had it in the original one and then they put the stock unlock back in for 3.04... is there a way to change a setting so that i can just swype the screen to unlock instead of having to use the stock slidebar thing??? just curious if that is possible or would it require flashing to one of their older ones or wait and see if a new one they release adds it back?
Go to settings/Locations and Security/Change Screen Lock and select Pattern
Thanks for the reply coastal but I wasn't meaning the pattern portion.. sorry if I am describing it wrong when i say swype.. i mean in a way "flick" your screen.. like if you go to the Cog 3.04 page and at the bottom their is that review that is done showing the cog3 vs the cog 2 and one of the comparisons is unlocking the 2 where cog2 uses the "stock unlock slide bar" and how cog3 uses the swype screen.. basically can swype your finger in any direction from one side to the other to unlock as apposed to having to take that green button on left and sliding it to the right..
hope maybe that describes a little better what I am refering too.. but the pattern seems interesting as well.. might try it out to see if i like it /

I for some reason am unable to press the bottom left hand corner of the screen, which unfortunately is exactly where the dialer button is and now I can not press numbers for in-call options. Any way I can change this screen w/o flashing? im on Xtrsense now and would like to stay with it. Thanks a lot I have metamorph and amon-ra.
Maybe another dialer option from the the Market like this?: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.kz-mek-dialerone-iApD.aspx
I've never used it, but it gets good reviews, and looks like the only thing you would be missing would be the * then on the bottom left. Hope this helps...
I'm not really interested in theming my captivate very much (yet...) but I'd absolutely love to change the dumb ass lock screen... I hate the thing.
How might one go about changing this and is there a recommended replacement?
Currently running Cognition 2.1.4, lagfix disabled.
The app that most use is WidgetLocker, as it seems to be the most stable of the lock screen replacement apps. I purchased it, but don't use it because it's not quick enough for my taste.
With the stock lock screen, it's the first thing that pops up when you turn the phone on. With WidgetLocker, I would often get a brief delay where I would see the home screen before WidgetLocker kicked in. I hate that delay, so I've gone back to the stock pattern input lock screen.

Use the app called "no lock" to fix that problem

Tried that, didn't do the trick. Instead of getting a brief glimpse of the stock lock screen, I instead get a brief glimpse of the home screen.
Did you use either the home replacement or the root override? With those, I rarely get the stock screen, maybe 1 in 20 times.
I sort of like the lock screen. IMO, its much better than the Samsung Fascinate's lock screen. It's standard lock screen is the jigsaw puzzle.
I like how the Captivate's lock screen can be slid any direction to unlock, seems to make it really easy for me to just grab the phone and then flick the screen in any direction with my thumb.
anybody had any luck in getting that puzzle lock screen from the vibrant or fascinate? i know we have one when a call has been missed but i want that to be the main lockscreen.
I was wiping a smudge off the capacitive buttons and accidentally discovered that I could bypass the Android unlock and Rotary unlock by simply swiping either left to right or right to left across all four buttons. Is this something thats built into the phone itself or could it be a flaw with the ROM i'm running or maybe the non stock unlocks? I have searched the forum and google and can't seem to find any info on this, maybe somebody here knows the answer. ROM info in my sig is current if anybody wants to try and duplicate.
Thx
umm which rom? and are you talking about the 4 white buttons at the bottom? swipe them with the screen on?
cus swiping accross the 4 buttons didnt work for me with phoenix 4.5 with epic unlock screen, android unlock screen, or the samsung
yeah the 4 nav buttons under samsung logo. andromeda 2.1 weird, it just bypasses either the android unlock or the new rotary unlock..
I can bypass it with just the menu button.

Sure enough! I'm just curious as to whether it's supposed to do it..
could be a rom thing. doesn't work on mine!
this is code in the android.policy.jar. according to some, it is actual AOSP, i dont know.
i do know it was not intentionally left in in the rom release. we will look at it.
Running Cog 3.04 and pressing just menu button unlocks phone also.
Hi guys,
Probably simple one but buggered if I can see it....
Have just upgraded to ICS via Kies (think I got one of the early german handsets that Expansys were selling before UK launch).
I can't seem to find how to change the main apps that are permanently showing at the bottom of the screen. I'm sure before I could just drag and drop them from main screen to menu bar.
Thanks
Sorry Mods... just realised posted in wrong section please delete
tap menu button, then edit..then drag
Thats what its used to be on Gingerbread but when I do it now all I get is the 6 homescreens showing as little screenshots which can be dragged in the Remove trash can below.
Hi Guys,
The bottom of my screen (about 5mm) has become unresponsive to touch. In previous ROM's I've got around this by adding a navbar to the bottom of the screen which I don't use (as in the soft key buttons).
I've just installed a Sense 5 ROM (InsertCoin) and really like the feel of it, however I can't find any way to get the navbar at the bottom of the screen. Obviously as it's a sense rom, there is nothing in the settings, and I've tried putting qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 into the build.prop file but that has also not worked :/
Does anyone have a solution to this or a way to cut the bottom 5mm of the visible screen? Or even better, a way to get the bottom of the screen working?
Cheers,
Tom

That sounds like a hardware fault so you should contact HTC or your phone supplier

If you're running 4.18.401.2 then you're in the wrong section, this is the One section not the One X.
Go over there and do a search for return to stock, you should find all the info you need.
