[GUIDE - DEV + MOD] How to add ability to disable HTC Lock ring

[daheufster]

Tried it on ViperS 1.2.1 with Sense 4.1 - Doesn`t seem to work.

The option for HTC ring is the first one in the list, however you select "none" but nothing happens - the ring unlock is still active. Tried restarting phone, reflashing / reapplying.

Very handy mod though OP - if it could be made to work on Sense 4.1 (Unsure it is because it is Sense 4.1 or not).

Good job!

I can confirm this issue; running insertcoin v2.4

it works on any sense rom.
do you have new line on security lock settings or not?

Yes i do, but when selecting an other lock option at first the ring/sense lockscreen is visible and when opening this the selected lockscreen is visible.

See following two lockscreens; the sense ring first followed by the pattern..which after the mod are present... So not only the pattern lockscreen

Sorry, made mistake in string. First line on sense 4 disables, the lock screen, when choose htc ring. Now im fixing it.
When you choose pattern the lock screen appears, yes. I will try to improve it. But now it is this way. You can only disable by choosing none in settings

Seems to work ok on the viper 1.2.1 rom. Noticed though when you wake the phone it simply returns to previous screen.

Is there a way of modding it to go to the home screen when you wake the phone?

Don't worked with Viper v1.2.1(I'm allways choose None in Screen lock)

No problem, your mod is looking very promising... And - in my case - have been wondering why this hasn't been fixed earlier in sense roms

May I have a request?

I would like to have lock ring disabled while I have pattern unlock enabled.
(Move the ring up then do the pattern unlock is quite troublesome)

Thanks

what do you mean? does it work or not?

 

[daheufster]

what do you mean? does it work or not?

-When selecting 'none' lockscreen there is no lockscreen after wake up;
-When selecting an other option ( other then the stock ring lockscreen) the first lockscreen is the lock ring by HTC/sense, the second lockscreen is for instance the pattern lockscreen

Yes, i got the same here, when you select other screen lock, the lock ring showed first before the selected screen lock. How to reverse this action, i mean how to revert back or maybe we need the the stock settings.apk to flash in recovery, rather than flashing the whole ROM again. Brilliant idea though...thanks.

Waiting for the fix...thanks..

This mod allows to disable htc ring only pressing NONE in settings, and it doesnt mean that if you choose other lock screens it will also disabled. When you didnt have that none and ring options the way you are talking about was as well.. it relates to htc sense not to the mod.

You dont need revert anything because it is only one single option in the settings, if you revert it you also will have the same situation with pattern screen lock..

so if you dont like it just put settings.apk from your rom which you are using

 

[mikrosmile]

and pls look at first post.. next release i will improve it
