Default Eris/Sense Slide to Answer

Are there any ROMS or PATCHES that remove the standard "arc" lockscreen on an incoming call?

I've tried almose all of the ROMS and also jcase's nexux lockscreen patch, witch all fix the standard lockscreen, but as soon as I get a call, I see that dumb arch. I end up answering al ot of calls when I don't want to.

Thanks.

Lock 2.0 can make it so you just hit 'Accept' or 'Decline'.

But that might 'accidentally answer' even easier than the lock screen.

Put your phone in your pocket top-side down. You'll never accidentally slide to unlock. I still don't understand why people put it in there right side up. Phone calls accidentally answer (with tight pants) and the screen accidentally unlocks.

Upside down is better anyway. You reach in the pocket, you put your phone up toward your face to see it. It's a better system.

That's what I do. 0% accidental answer/unlock, EVER, when putting my phone in my pocket top down.

Thanks for the tip. I've got so used to rotating my phone in my hand when I pull it out of my pocket that it will take a little getting used to. It's a good idea, though.

I still hate the way it looks.

Yeah, lock 2.0 is a good alternative. I have never had a problem with the stock one, but installed lock 2.0 just for a change. I have the one like the iPhone lock, slides left to right. Give it a try

Just curious, does Lock 2.0 change the way you answer the phone?

Right now I have the Nexus One lock screen but it doesn't affect the incoming call screen.

Lol...yeah...we have default lockscreen on the rom we're using..

So..if you're using damagerom...you'll get the invisible slide to answer bar, no rotary unlock...

I was always wondering if there was a way to change that on any custom rom...

Default Lock 2.0

I installed Lock 2.0 on my EE3, but every time I reboot my phone it goes back to the sense lockscreen. How do I make Lock 2.0 the default?

If you use an AOSP ROM like Eris Lightning Bolt or KaosFroyo or CyanogenEris, you will not have the arc lockscreen to answer.

You also won't have, however, the beautiful SenseUI Home, the SenseUI widgets, the ordinary goodies that come with the Sense lockscreen, and a lot of the basic system features you come to expect in Sense that (some of which are enabled via CyanogenMod or otherwise) aren't all there.

It also is slow to ring, just like with Sense. But it is a completely different approach.

I also put my phone in my pockets upside down (since when I grab it and put it to my face, it's right side up anyway) and I've

N E V E R

accidentally answered my phone when putting it in my pocket that way. Top down. It's the way to go. 100%.

Plus it's easy to hit 'end' or 'call' right from your pocket when you need to hit it really fast.
