How to: Turn samsung unlock button into a slider by editing the lockscreen ui.

[Guest Steel Reign]

I was looking through the registry and windows folders for ways to turn the default samsung lock button into a slider button. So I found the lockscreen files and it turns out that it was a swf. Now I don't know if you can modify the swf so that the button turns into a slider but I think its worth a try. Attached is the lockscreen swf. If any of you flash gurus want a shot at it here it is. If anyone knows any way to get the touch player on s2u2 or something like that that has a slider I'd love to know, as that is the only reason that I'm doing this.

Edit: Also the lockscreen.swf and all its related files are in the /windows directory.

So I decompiled the swf and it looks like all we need is to simply code in some actionscript and it should work. Problem is I have to learn actionscript.

I have been looking into this and I also decompiled the swf. I just can't seem to recreate a working .swf from the .fla file I get. I do see some working action scripts, so I am going to try and create my own lock screen from scratch. This will probably take a while, but I got nothing better to do :)

Getting the lock to slide should be pretty easy, its getting everything else working with the phone that is gonna be the problem.

Could you show/explain this a little bit more? So this swf is started when you push that button?

any progress on this idea? I would like to keep the samsung lockscreen because it has the touchplayer controls in it, but I prefer the slider lock because it is less likely to accidentally become unlocked.

The swf is the actual lockscreen. So yes when you press the lock button it's started. Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been watching this thread.

has anyone figured out a way to convert the standard push to unlock button into a slider?

Surely if all that is needed is to edit a flash file, someone can do this relatively easily. Heck, even a proof of concept without any graphical edits would be a good start. Are flash developer tools free? If so I'll figure it out over the next couple of days if it's doable.

Yeah there's flash hacking tools that are free. A simple google will suffice.

Just letting you know I'd be interested in this as well!

[Guest Snow02]

K. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. I haven't done anything with flash since about 2001, so we'll see. I've got a few hours to kill, so I should be able to get a feel for how long it might take at the very least. Or you know, someone who knows wth they're doing could knock it out in an hour or so...

[Guest jpenman]

I would be interested in this if the lock screen wasn't so laggy...i hate how it shows the home page before the lock screen pops up...and i wish they had a better way of displaying text messages....thats the one thing (besides the slider) that s2u2 has over the default lock screen...it shows the text message in a nice way and if you dont view it right away you can click on the notification and view it later but with the default one if you dont view it you cant just click on the notification to see it again...

I second that!

had a chance to check it out yet?

Downloading a flash editor now. I'm not making any promises as, like I said, I have not done anything with flash since about 2000, about the time actionscript made its debut. But I'll take a look. I'm not real hopeful, as surely there's people who frequent this board that have done flash work more recently than that. But we'll see.

Well thanks for at least trying, even if you can't get it to work, it's more than anyone else has done so far. If I understood anything about coding and such I would give it a go, but alas I don't know a thing about it.

[Guest Snow02]

I cannot copy the lockscreen (no file extension) file located in the windows directory. It says it's in ROM. I'm not sure what it's purpose is, but I'd like to at least be able to have a look. If anyone can get a copy of this and post that may be helpful as well. Thanks in advance.

I have a bit of a humpty-dumpty issue. I can't get the decompiled .fla to recompile correctly. I'm getting a static .swf image. I looked into it for about 7-8 hours. Apparently flash decompilation is not an exact science, and I don't have the knowledge/time to get it working. The issue appears to be the use of a global class definition that kicks back an error. I know there's a fix, that probably has to do with newer actionscript convention, but I couldn't get it to work. There may be other issues, but that was the most obvious. So unless someone manages to fix a proper .fla file, it's not going to happen. Sorry, I tried.

Oh well, it was worth a shot. Thanks for trying anyway. If someone else out there has more knowedge feel free to give it a go. I wish I knew anything about it..
