Tried to flash to cog 2.3b6 from 2.2b6. Apparently something went wrong, because I don't have a launcher. It just displays a black screen after the lock screen. Everything still works. Phone calls, noticfication bar, Running apps switcher.
Is there any way to reach to get to the Market to maybe download a launcher? Menu doesn't work at the black screen that's supposed to be home.
I'm not sure if it's part of the launcher, but are you able to long press on the home screen and add shortcuts? If not I'd say reflash.

Either push a launcher via adb or reflash your phone.

Had never heard of this app until today and I love it... Thought I'd give it a mention.
It's a complete lockscreen replacement.
does it feel as smooth as the standard lock screen? or does it cause some lag?

I haven't noticed any lag.
The only downside in my opinion, so far, is that the gmail icon counter only shows the count of your primary account. Hopefully they enhance that to show counts of multiple accounts soon.
The biggest down side about apps like this is its not a true replacement for the lock screen.. It is just an app that runs over top of the default one.. I bought widgetlocker and now dont use it. I will sometimes see the stock lock screen or it wont have lag when locking it.. I tried GoTo and its about the same..
I came from the iPhone and used intelliscreen which just added stuff to the default lock screen.. Was amazing.. Wish someone could come up with the same type of mod for the android lock screen.. =[

Testing more, the only time I ever see the normal lockscreen is if I enable the option to disable the volume/camera buttons. I reported it, not sure what they'll do about it.
That said, I don't actually want that option enabled so I never see the normal lockscreen in my real use.
I also still have not run into any lag, but I guess that will vary based on a zillion different factors from person to person.
You're right though, I wish that things like this could be true replacements.
Theres a way to disable the lock.screen on htc devices but that's cause its a .apk with some digging around I'm sure someone can disable the tw lock screen. Doing so would allow you to use the app without the stock lock screen showing up. Not to sure about lag thought

That'd be cool... I'll have to search around.
I need to use the phone for a bit longer and test more, but I went into Titanium and froze TWLauncher and I am no longer getting the normal lockscreen, even if I disable GOTO, so I think it is gone.
I do see the normal lockscreen very briefly if I reboot the the phone, but it goes away in a split second and I don't see it again unless I reboot again.
Perhaps that is all that is needed.
This app is the bomb

Nevermind... that SEEMED to work for a little bit, but now if I have the disable volume/camera option enabled I see the normal lockscreen for a split second again. It goes away quickly, but it does appear.
That said, I still never see it at all if I don't enable the disable volume/camera option.
Ok, I installed NoLock (free in the Market) and disabled the lockscreen with it and that works. I see the normal lockscreen very briefly upon a reboot, but never again after that.
I tested a bit longer this time before saying so, lol.
This thing works flawlessly for me. Sometimes my fat fingers have a hard time stopping on the text message one, but that is user error.
Goto is awesome... it even ran with no lag on my hero
Traced with Ultra Keyboard from my *Epic*
So I've been using this for a day now and I love it. Can change the shortcuts to similar apps, can unlock, doesn't make phone lag and it's only .99c

I've also been using it for a day now, and it's a really nice app!
Been seeing the regular homescreen quite a few times though, will try to disable the "enable the disable volume/camera option"' option...
yeah as someone else said you have to use nolock (market) with any lockscreen app but i've heard that it does make it pretty flawless
You can do this and it's probably easier to change your lockscreen over and over, but you can navigate the system, or apply a new theme which either way can change the system files. Someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in as to what you need to do, I'm not sure if you can delete it and disable it that way or if it just puts something else up instead, but I definitely know you can theme the lockscreen because I have seen different ROM's have different lockscreens.
Thanks for.posting this app. Its pretty good.

What about the power consumption?
After 7 hours the battery is completely empty. This is not normal, right? ( HTC DESIRE HD )
I am running Cognition v3.02, JL1. I love the ROM but am wanting a different lock screen. It comes stock with the captivate lock screen. I would rather have the android lock screen with mute option or HTC or some other option. Is there an .apk file that I can download and install or does it have to be specific for the ROM I'm running?
WidgetLocker
I did see that but I was hoping to get something free or an .apk, something that doesn't run another service or task.
lockbot free, search in market.
I tried lockbot, it is ok, but I am also using noLED. It is an .apk that shows notifications on the home screen since the captivate doesn't have an LED. What I'm looking for is more lock screens that I can add to the options in my ROM. I'm pretty sure that 2.3 cognition had them but they are not in the new version, and I'm not sure how to pull them out of another build and add to mine (or even what to look for, for that matter)
So I have 4.3, and ever since, when the phone starts into Android, there is always a lock screen where you have to swipe the lock in the center away to get to the home screen. I want to disable this so that it simply boots into the home screen. I'm fairly certain to do this I'll need to edit my build, I'm just wondering exactly what I need to edit to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I don't know if this helps, but i accidentaly found this "glitch" that lets my phone without the lockscreen and enter the phone just by pressing the power button
I installed Windows 8 Lock Screen app from Play Store, I checked it to be the default locker, but after that, after I played around with it, I decide not to keep it active and I unchecked the "Default Locker option". After this, apparently, I have no lock screen whatsoever... Just press the power button and the phone is unlocked

HTC have removed the option to have no screen lock at all, you have to have something (which is responsible IMO)

Actually, this issue only came up once I installed the 401 5.5 4.3. My native is developer 1540 4.3, which does not have this. Good to know it's most likely a sense 5.5 addition, as I can request the next toolbox include an option to disable this.
Edit: For those interested, I seem to have found a happy accident that exploits the lockscreen coming up every time the phone goes dark. By installing the Windows 8 Lockscreen app from the play store, setting it as the default lockscreen, utilizing it a few times, then disabling it, when I restarted the phone, the only time the lockscreen came up was during the initial startup. Nothing after that. The power button got me directly to the homescreen. I also have no lock installed with locking disabled. Obviously, all it would take is a simple xposed module or app to isolate this and get it to the masses, but for now, this seems to work for me. I hope it works for you as well.

Yeah, HTC removed it
Weird, in the home screen, when i move my an app right above the dock just right above it, it doesnt stay there but went straight down to the dock? anyone has this same issue? it was working fine on my s8+, tablet, both imported with the same save settings.
It happened to me once. In my case I had an e-mail widget that was taking up most of the page. Visually it looked like there should be enough space to put an icon above the dock, but it wasn't until I shrunk the widget that I was able to correctly add the icon. Hope this helps

I think you can go into Nova setting, under Desktop, either go to Advanced and turn on "Widget overlap" or under Desktop grid and check "Subgrid Positioning". I guess you can resize it too.
Hmm, im not using any widget, just a simple plain screen though. Tried Widget overlap, subgrid positioning was already enabled from previous settings and resizing, issue still remain.
Just got this phone yesterday and noticed that I can't do anything while receiving a call, there is an "always on top" screen that won't go away by pressing any of the buttons until you hang up. This is really annoying since it completely disables the phone. Let says you are driving using google maps and somebody calls you, you will miss your exit for sure, or you want to check a text while talking on the phone, not possible... Already tried to disable the phone notifications, as well as trying all the available options ( for notifications), also tried with other phone apps and with SystemUI Tuner app all with no success.
Is anybody else having this issue? I'm happy to provide any info you guys might need as well as do any test. Currently using Nova launcher,
Android version 9,
Security patch Jun 5 2019.
Software info WW_16.0622.1906.19_0
Extension ROM 1.1.93
Maybe because of Nova Launcher. It is actually kinda weird. What firmware is installed on your ROG Phone 2?
I'm also on WW_16.0622.1906.19_0 and when I'm in a call I can just go home or use recent apps while in a call, mine looks like this, note the green bar at the top of the Play store screenshot.
I also use Nova launcher.

Nothing happens in mine when I press the home or recent apps while in the call screen, I can drag the top menu but that's about it, in this menu even if I press the little gear to go to settings it opens it in the background and once the call is over that will be the first screen that I can see. But somehow the call screen is always on top. On this phone I can't get the green bar, I'm used to it from all my other past android phones, but not on this one.
Any ideas?
