Geek For Me is proud to present… a sleepy time release…

Bug Fixes and Requests for Lock Screen Related Stuff

I’m going to try and lay this out in some sort of logical order but there’s going to be a lot on here so it’s going to look a little messy. But I’ll try! All of these fixes were done by me (flipz) so please give credit where credit is due. These are not bugs in Fresh Rom or feature requests that were necessary sent directly to me. These are bugs that affect all copies of the Sprint 2.1 based roms out right now. Thanks. PS- I was half asleep while typing all of this up and prepping the files, so please excuse any issues.

Bug:

  • Vanilla lock screen is all jumbled up. More information was already released here but I’ll be repeating most of it.
    • The vanilla lock screen source code in all of our 2.1 leaks from Sprint have suffered this. The information isn’t displayed properly on the page. Only time will tell if our final release will ship like that.
    • If you decide to use the vanilla lock screen then you will also need to use either the vanilla clock or a 3rd party application. This is because HTC’s world clock is integrated in to HTC’s lock screen, which you would have removed. For this reason I have ported the clock over to use with it. If you set an alarm in HTC’s world clock then it will go off in the morning but you won’t be able to stop it. Again… If you are using the vanilla lock screen then you must set your alarm in android’s clock application (or a 3rd party app) and not in HTC’s if you want to be able to turn it off in the morning.
    • I have made 3 different patch options. These have only been tested on Fresh 2.0d but should work perfectly fine on any rom based on Fresh 2.0d or DamageControl. All 3 are going to remove HTCLockScreen so make sure you aren’t applying this update.zip unless you want to use the vanilla lock screen. It does wipe your dalvik-cache so expect a long reboot (5+ minutes) after flashing it.
      • Just fix the lock screen: http://link.geekfor.me/vanillalock1
      • Fix the lock screen and install vanilla clock. You will end up with two “Clock” programs in your app drawer. You MUST set your alarm in vanilla android’s clock if you want to be able to turn it off in the morning. lol. : http://link.geekfor.me/vanillalock2 (you will have duplicate “Clock” entries in your app drawer. One for vanilla and one for HTC)
      • Fix the lock screen, install vanilla clock and uninstall world clock: http://link.geekfor.me/vanillalock3
Before After Working Alarm

Feature Request:

  • By default the “Menu” button will turn on and then unlock the phone. This is seen as a bug by many because it constantly causes the phone to unlock itself in your pocket.
    • While it isn’t a bug I was able to remove it from both the vanilla lock screen and HTC’s lock screen.
    • The first 3 downloads are the exact same 3 downloads right above this, however that one still has “Press menu to unlock” enabled and these ones have it disabled.
      • Just fix the vanilla lock screen and disable menu to unlock: http://link.geekfor.me/vanillalock4
      • Fix the vanilla lock screen, install the vanilla clock, and disable menu to unlock. You will end up with two “Clock” programs in your app drawer. You MUST set your alarm in vanilla android’s clock if you want to be able to turn it off in the morning. lol. : http://link.geekfor.me/vanillalock5 (you will have duplicate “Clock” entries in your app drawer. One for vanilla and one for HTC)
      • Fix the lock screen, install vanilla clock, uninstall HTC’s world clock, and disable menu to unlock: http://link.geekfor.me/vanillalock6
      • Disable menu to unlock on HTC’s Lock Screen: http://link.geekfor.me/htclocknmenu

Bug:

  • When using the Menu button to unlock the phone in Sense UI it pulls up the home screen menu after hitting menu the second time, when the expected result is for the phone to just be unlocked.
    • I fixed this on the Rosie.apk from Fresh Rom 2.0d so if you are using any other rom or theme then you may noticed changes in your rosie.

Request:

  • Make the vanilla lock screen opaque so that you can’t see right through it.
    • So far we haven’t been successful in getting an actual wallpaper there, however I was able to modify the background color.
    • This is the only patch that requires that you already have the vanilla lock screen. Or you can download and flash vanilla at the same time as this. But this one will not install the vanilla lockscreen for you.
