To be completely honest we just got the AOSP lock screen working. And really it's still broken. If you turn your phone on while the keyboard is open you'll see what I mean. I found some image files that are missing from the EPICS framework and passed them on to the guys that got this working in the first place. There going to look into it.
As far as the message alerts go I totally agree with you all. The problem is that it was never designed to do any of those things. As pointed out above the stock lockscreen will do that and the stock lock screen on the Fascinate does that as well and in a nicer way. Rumor has it the official release will drop on Sunday and once these guys get a hold of that we will see lots of amazing things that just aren't possible now.
I want to THANK all of you for helping to make this such a success. I can't tell you how nervous I was posting my first release.. Thanks for giving me something to do. Life is kinda tough and this is a nice distraction....
As of tonight this ROM has been downloaded over 1000 times. That is amazing to me. I've burned through about 150 GB of bandwidth...Thanks again...
