Root CyanogenMod's gesture lockscreen won't unlock !

[McNerdius]

Long story short: i was looking for a simpler way to get into my phone. I set up a gesture, a simple horizontal swipe. Ok, so when it comes time to unlock the phone - nothing. My finger has swiped every direction, every pattern, every square millimeter of the screen, and nothing. I can't get in ! Rebooting is a no-go. I haven't done anything in recovery, wiping cache or anything like that - i'm thinking there may be something i can do in ADB to solve the issue. Basically, starting small and working my way up the "icky stuff i have to do" food chain.

Any input is appreciated ! (btw, there's really noone for me to "request" a phone call from, to see if that'd get me in. sad eh ?)

not exactly sure how to fix that, but if you're comfortable with it, pm me your number and I'll call you from my V.

It's a while since i updated backside anyhoo, so i just went for it. Shame to have to re-flash because of a stupid lockscreen bug(?).

I couldn't help but giggle seeing the new backside robot dude. cool to see it freshened up a bit.

This'll help get me into the mood for an impending windows reinstall too... sooo... there's that.

[edit: good god my 3g is @$&%!& slow now... hope it's the weather.]

Try this, then edit settings.

Guess i went ahead of myself.

What do the lockscreen gestures do btw?

it's like the next level of the "pattern" unlock - the 3*3 connect-the-dots. But with the gestures one, you set it up to unlock when you draw, say, a W or C or whatever you want. At least... theoretically... apparently... for some people... sometimes.

Just not for me.
