[UNLOCK IDEA] Unlock pattern

[oliverano]

Hey
I have really good idea for the unlock pattern, but don't have the skills to make it
so I would like to give the idea to you

When you put an unlock pattern you can't mute the phone, but with the regular "slide to unlock" lockscreen you can. Now my idea is to make a second pattern to mute your phone or think a bit further you just could launch apps with a sepcific pattern

Would like to see some day this type of unlock screen

lock screen gestures already do that.
they're built into CM.
i don't know about outside of CM though.

edit: ohhh! wait, never mind.. i read wrong.
that could be neat!

i think that would be super neat except with exchange set up you dont get the option to use the unlock pattern(which I love), just a number pad if your exchange requires security

 

[oliverano]

I thivk you miss understood me
you still keep the normal pattern unlock screen
but an aditional feature with that you can set up an additional pattern in the same unlockscreen so that you could just set that up to mute your phone or just launche an app

sorry for my english xP

This is a really coool idea. I hope someone does this soon enough.

I know what you mean and it would be great, I just couldn't use it because corporate security only allows pin unlock in exchange server

i have this working using gestures.

Using CM goto CyanogenMod Settings > Input Settings > goto the last line... Disable unlock slider.

Before u do that in the same Input Settings there is Lockscreen gestures... there build a gesture to unlock phone (and watever else u wanna do like launch an app etc)

lock the phone and try unlock. It works fine. Just dont forget the gesture to unlock

Its actually better than the ordinary unlock .

haha i guess the OP hasnt ever used cyanogen ROM? all this is built into cyan, very nicely i might add too!

I think he would rather it be a part of the pattern unlock screen itself.

Possibly like this (O = part of pattern X = untouched)

Unlock:
OOX
XOX
xOX
Going from top left to bottom.

Volume control:
XXO
XOX
OXX
going from top right to bottom left.

Each pattern controls a function that normal sliders would, but keeps the cool pattern unlock and security of it.

I myself would love something like this as it would be more accurate than the cm lockscreen gestures.

I agree with my preposter. I made the same experience that it sometimes is hard to get gestures working because of it's inaccuracy...
