Hello everyone,
Since I have 1 posts including this one on the XDA forum and couldn't post in the dev section, I guess it'll have to go here. I'd like to make a simple lock screen for my Galaxy S2 (Android 2.3).
It would be similar to the default pattern lock but I don't want a combination of dots. Instead, I want it to unlock at a single tap at a position on the screen, or maybe two correct taps.
Since the default pattern lock requires at least 4 dot connections, I couldn't use it. I also want it to show the background with no widgets, only maybe the notification bar.
Now I downloaded the Android SDK, but I have no experience with it. I have past C++ experience and I'm willing to learn, but I would like some directions and perhaps code snippets to get me started.
Inb4 NOT SECURE LOL: It's what I want to have.
tl;dr Mewants to make single or double tap lock screen with no widgets showing. Halp?
Try AppInventor ...It is a good way to learn to make apps for Android without really knowing the programming...all you need to know is hoe you you want your app to work...and since you have previous experience with C/C++..am sure the loops such as if/if-else etc in the pictorial manner won't confuse you..Good luck..Its a good Idea you have there..dunno if it can be implemented for sure though!
There are many AOSP Lockscreens available in the dev section anyway...check them out till then
Hi all,
is it possible to display new whatsapp messages directly on lockscreen? (like on ios? Display lights up if new message comes in and i can read message directly on lockscreen, thats what I want.
Bought some apps but nothing works fine :-(
Sorry for my poor Englisch...
For directly showing message on lock screen it depends on the ROM I think.
Is there any rom for my desire hd available?
I am using virtous quattro with ics at the moment.
You need to post this there.. I don't have desire. So, can't say.
I think widget locker is what you need. I use handcent for sms, and it gets through the lockscreen just like you describe.

The lockscreen code is either part of the framework.jar or the systemui... and if the device is not rooted, you cannot change it.
If you are a programmer, what you could try is to create a new window (for example with the WindowManagerImpl hidden class) trying different window types: window types define the layer where the window will be placed. For some window types you might need some special permission (for example I think TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY will be placed above lockscreen, and it needs the SYSTEM_DIALOG permission)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Currently there isn't an (lockscreen-)app that allows that. If you are a programmer you can always try to make it yourself, like mentioned above. But be warned, it's going to be a hell to create it
I´m not a Android programme
There is an option in the settings of whatsapp "turn on the pop up messages" check that box n u are good to go
i know this option, but it´s still behind the lockscreen...
Hey guys!!
This pop-up message, allows you to answer the message even with the lock screen. I think it's a lack of security because anyone can answer it if you forget your phone somewhere.
I've already try to talk with the developers of Whatsapp, but with no success.
On iphone you can only read and unlock to answer.
That's right, the popup feature when set to 'always' or 'only when screen off' shows messages and I think even allows replying from the lockscreen. You can't go view the full convo without unlocking though. This is the way it works at least in the latest beta from http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

Hi Everyone
I am looking at creating a custom lock screen but during my pre development research i have found some things that i wanted to get clarified by someone wiser than my self
I have seen mention that to create a custom lock screen you need to create a custom launcher that implements lock screen functionality. Is this correct? Presumably this would require setting the devices default lock mecanisum to off so that the launcher could take care of it.
Is it possible to create a replacement for just the lock screen?
Also, can anyone point me in the right direction for creating a root lock screen? Would this just be creating an app the provides the correct functionality (ie responds to the correct system calls) and using root permissions to replace the original lock screen with this app.
Thanks for any help you can provide

Ok this isn't exactly about flashing ROMs or anything but an app. I would like to mod this app for personal use. It is a lockscreen app (the one from L that was taken down from the Play Store) and for some reason it disables the default lockscreen and does not provide a way to have some sort of security measure (pattern, password, PIN, etc..). Is there any way for me to add the ability to create a security pattern? If you need the apk here is the post that has the link. Also if there is another thread in which I can post this in feel free to tell me and I will post this there as well.
Please keep in mind that I'm kind of new to app development but I am familiar with it's general layout.
Thanks in advance.
I know that there are much tutorials and forum threads about this, but I couldn't find anything helpful for my case.
I'm customizing a ROM (AOSP 4.4.2) and need that some third party apps appear on the home screan each time I reset the device to default - just like phone app or stock browser.
So I'm not developing new apps where I could resolve it with permissions in the manifest and intent in the main activity - this are already compiled third party apps and as I need the possibility to update them through the market I can't do reverse ingeneering and editing them.
I would be thankful for any help.
