If that's the only reason you need the lock screen password then yes I can confirm once again that it works. Just follow the thread.

Another option is to use WidgetLocker. Then you would have the lockscreen Dashclock and a customizable unlock slider, and then a password/pattern lock screen afterwards. This is what my wife uses, and it works well.

Isn't the smartest option to just use the Quick Glance Air Gesture? It does show unread messages and emails after all......

Not the same. The lockscreen is a bit more convenient IMO. Quick glance would require an extra step to unlock the phone.

Yea really and I did read what I wrote. We're talking about how to fix a $600 phone to make it work BETTER. Of course its notbon the same level as curing cancer or world hunger. From what I've read in your post your always right. Bud just because someone else wants to mess with their phone when they have to Odin to fix it, or they are looking for a solution to a problem you feel is unimportant does not mean they are less then you. Some of us want to make our phones as good as they can be FOR US. This is what this whole site is about. DEVELOPING ways to IMPROVE our phones. Improvement for ke may mean nothing for you but still it deserves a place here. This site is not KryptosXLayer2-development.com.

You don't have to attempt to educate me on why we screw around with these phones, I'm not new to this, chief..... I just recommended something that works for JUST as well, but you've obviously got some issues to resolve in your own life, so have fun dealing with all that, geez!

Everyone has their issues in life. Mine are fairly minor. I'm just not big on stopping progress just because I feel the immediate effects are useless. To me the end result could be something amazing. This might end up inspiring someone to get AOSP lockscreen working, or even someone to learn to code etc. Basically I see it as an opportunity. I took your comment the same way I take people who dont want to research basic science or ways to save certain animals from extinction etc because they dont see the immediate point. Of course this is much less important but the thought process seemed the same "I wont benifit in the next few days, who cares". I try to allow my mind to stay open, and to see opportunities were ever they appear. I dont honestly think 5 threads about bootloaders aee needed or the AdamOutler's thread is needed yet (I personally would have waited until Dan released his hack to expect the theead to stay on topic since so many people laced so much hope on Dan that theybare foing to talk about it every were they can.) But I dont go around telling these people they are wrong and their issues unimportant. I let the threads be and check in from time to time to see if anything meaningful has occured. Maybe it's just the American in me be I perfer to let people have their important issues and help those I can and those I agree with while not bothering those whom I can't help or those whom I don't agree with.

I like widgetlocker. Only issue I have is sometimes it does not load, or is slow to load. These are nit to bad though and this is what is holding me over until I can mess around and try to enable AOSP lockscreen.

App Password Option

I often grow tired of people grabbing my phone and being able to click on the gmail icon and immediately having access to my email. This got me thinking that the OS should have a password/pin option. Basically giving the ability to set a password/pin for any app on the system. Is there something that does this already? Sorry if I've posted in the wrong section.
Why not just use a lock screen pass? Would be a cool feature though.
Hard to show off the awesomeness of the Evo to people if they can only see the lock screen. This would be neat for the gallery as well to lock it up (I currently use PhotoVault). Maybe i'm too much into privacy, I don't know...

Sounds like you have a porn problem.
Haha, that's not the issue (at least not yet). I just want to be able to know my emails are safe and secure, handing your phone over to someone is like letting them use your computer with your email already pulled up and your password entered.

Screen is now turning on instantly!

Today I noticed that, out of the blue, my screen is now turning on instantly!
I no longer have to wait 2 seconds for it to turn on when I press the volume rocker with widget locker.
I didn't change any widget locker settings, or settings on my phone. I was just wondering if anybody else had this happen.
Now my only problem with the phone is the WIFI disconnects every couple minutes.
What did you do to get this instant screen on?! Things didn't happens magically, please review your latest actions on your phone, this might help several users!

Since I noticed the difference, I haven't downloaded or uninstalled any new apps, but I did do my daily updates of my current apps.
I didn't go into my settings... I DID do a full backup of apps and data using TiB.
Nothing else to note really...
It's so quick, I press the volume rocker, and move my thumb to my slider to unlocked it and I don't have to wait. One constant motion.
Please tell me you're not teasing us. That would be cruel....

if i recall correctly, the screen has always turned on instantly for me, and it still does to this minute.
do you use an SDcard with your atrix, i'm assuming no?
No I never had an sdcard. Why?

because it's related scrub. As noted in another thread, screen refresh was somehow linked to a sytem process rescanning the sd card for media everytime the screen was turned on. learn to search the forums, before flaming.

Samsung Galaxy II update to increase the size of icons
Even if Samsung were stupid enough to actually do this (and they aren't), you could just use an alternative boot loader (which most of us do anyway).
If you're on this forum, and still using a stock Samsung firmware, then what's wrong with you?
Number of rows on the homescreen is not hard to change, i am sure there will be a mod out within days to change it.
There will also be alternative launchers, tw4.5 etc.

I like it. Shrug. Big icons is some of the reasons people use MIUI in the first place.
OMG! They are giving us the option to have larger icons!! How crazy is that? People with bad eyes shouldn't be using smartphones!!!!!!!!
The first article says the large icon size is optional. Nothing to see here people

I myself dont use Kies as to me its a big load of crap although sometimes I do like to try officially released firmwares just to see what they bring and then after a week flash back to XDA firmwares.What hacks me off is that things can get to this stage with the bull between companies.People that dont flash for what ever reason,and thats fine as no-one is forced to flash their phone,are gonna be screwed.Im pissed for them,not so much for myself but for the people that will be affected.I myself will be sticking to XDA as always but come on...

If you read it properly it says that "HOPEFULLY" the icon change will be optional.It does not in any way confirm that it will be and both links are the same review.

Rather, a default, right?
Maybe its a good thing cos my grandad needs a new phone anyway and the bigger icons will be just what he needs.Now i know what Im gonna get him for xmas
Optional or not. If disliked there are multiple launchers on the market to replace the factory one..beauty of Android.
LCD Density Changer and ADW Launcher is all you need.
Just change the DPI of your screen. 240 is WAYY too high for such a big beautiful screen. It's like running 800x600 on a 24" 1080P monitor. 190 is a lot nicer and more crisp. You can use Rom Toolbox from the market to achieve this. Root required.

no you can't do anything else. Also i know that your provider can tell if you have this option enabled because i was trying to get support for intermittent wifi and they asked me why i had it enabled.

Wow... sneaky bastards!
All phones on Marshmallow have this option by default even if it does nothing. It's a feature that Google is using for phones with unlockable bootloaders for increased security and it just happened to make its way here and on multiple other phones that don't allow unlocking.

It's like the dummy thermostat put on the wall behind the counter at banks.
Tellers are some of the fussiest folks when it comes to temperatures.
The HVAC management company never allows them to change settings.
So to stop complaints, they put a dummy thermostat up.
And it gets adjusted many times during the day.
And they feel better about it.

Seems Nobody knows what ONE Unlock is for.
Hey guys the unlock toggle what it does is when you enable it and you do a factory resett on your phone it makes it so there is no locking setup on your phone you do not have to verify through google or any pin that usrd to br established

[App] aodNotify - Enable Always On Display on notifications! Now with Edge Lighting!

This little app uses Samsungs Always On Display (AOD) as notification indicator.
It turns on the AOD on notifications and turns it off when notifications are cleared.
The app has almost zero impact on battery, but gives you a clear visual feedback on incoming notifications.
Sounds simple, but works even better!
Simply select which apps are allowed to turn on Always On Display and get notified on important notifications.
Furthermore you can ignore notifications when the phone is unlocked, so they wont activate the Always On Display.
FEATURES:
Activate Always On Display on notifications
Disable Always On Display when notifications are cleared
Select apps which can turn on Always On Display
Minimal battery consumption

Hi
While I had this app installed, the feature "Tap to show' in AoD didn't work... it kept changing to Always on.
This might be a minor issue for some, but not for me.
Did this happened to anyone else?

Very nice but the last update triggers aod as expected and set it to always in main settings.
Hi, does this work like Glimpse Notification app? Or is this different from it?
How to deinstall this App properly? When I remove it, my AOD does not work anymore!
Please stop and banned this dev! This dev stealing money from people, make app and you pay for full version, but if you pay for full version the app dont work! Only if you buy one more app! Looool! You know about what app i talking. And to many dev on xda is full, and xda accept. Believe me.
