Root Rooted - wondering I can change slide down lock

[dntel123]

Hey Guys,

wondering if it possible to change the slide down part for unlocking the phone as it was only available to root with a previous version I've lost that silver circle which was quite nice, not everything but wondering if i can have a custom slider to unlock?

Cheers!

What ROM are you using?

What ROM are you using?

Not using one as of it I suppose I would to get one?

What CDPlant means is, do you have a custom ROM on your phone (given that you're rooted and don't have the lockscreen any more)?

At the minute it would appear he isn't using a ROM at all but has downgraded to root and has the slide down lock screen again.

Installing any Sense based ROM currently available in the Dev Forum over on XDA will give you the pull ring again. If you use whats known as an AOSP (Vanilla Android) ROM you will get either the gingerbread side swipe sliders or the ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) lock ring.

I suggest putting a ROM on there and if its the Sense experience you want go for Android Revolution here:

OR

You can listen to the heathens (El Presidente, D-U-R-X, Xyro) and flop on an AOSP ROM in particular CyanogenMod CM7.1 or the flavour of CM known as Absolution.

You could also take a look at Widgetlocker? It's not a ROM, but an app on the market, you can customise your lock screen with that.

If you're rooted, you may as well go down the custom ROM root though.

thanks for the replies guys - seems I will install a ROM yep, I'll take your advice. I've rooted for the first time using Acehack last night and it tells me software is 2.3.5 I had to downgrade like you said and then I have gingerbread lock screen I think - was looking at the CR stickie and sounds good if I can speed up and reduce the screen lag (bugs the hell out of me) and increase battery life.

Just hope its not too difficult to flash roms!

Relatively straight forward... just remember to do a backup (from within clockworkmod) before you flash anything, as a fail safe!!

Ok then well wish me luck

*Goes and searches for how to Install clockworkmod*

to XDA!

p.s. if you have any suggestions of well structured guides for clockwork and ROM'ing then that would be cool!

Download ROM Manager and flash clockwork from within that (if you used the Ace Hack Kit to root, you should already have clockworkmod)

There are plenty of guides... depends which ROM you want to flash

Let me know if you want another Sense based ROM or a Vanilla Android ROM?

You must resist temptation my child!

HAAAAAAHAHAHA!!!

Love it!!

 

[dntel123]

Hahaha nice

Well thing is I'm new to this so I'd be open to suggestions of a good, stable one that looks nice! I'm all about looks. I'd LOVE good battery life.

Buw what I most want is NO lag, don't know if thats asking too much - mines quite smooth at present except sometimes lagging in scrolling I'm always jealous that the iphone is so smooth

Currently rocking this:

Latest up to date one - I hear Cyanogen are good, and would like to use go launcher with it.

If you want lag free and ultra fast, then ARHD is a cracking Sense choice, CM7.1 is good I won't deny that if AOSP is your thing. However if your going to be running a launcher your choice really isn't all that important.

If you want to take your smoothness experience to the next level using ARHD it can be stable at 1.5Ghz with the V6 Supercharger script which ensures that the launcher retains highest priority in RAM and CPU and has not hindered my multitasking or gaming in the slightest even on the strictest 1000HP mode. You also get to keep the Sense 3 LockRing screen without having to use widgetlocker.

Thanks for the info man. I will probably go with what you say! Plus I can always change it

Any chance you know if this will run smooth? SPB Shell 3D? Looks pretty sweet!

SPB Shell should be fine, if it isn't using Daemon Controller switch to smartassv2 and set clock speed to 1536 I think it is and install the V6 Supercharger script. You'll never worry about smooth again.

Just have to wait for XDA to come back up as they went dark for SOPA
