Hey everyone, I found an AWESOME app called "PGM - Ponury Gesture Mod", made by XDA Member bponury, that will allow screen unlocking capabilities on our (rooted) EVO 3D's using screen swipe gestures instead of the traditional power button. He's also added the functionality to lock the screen the same way, using screen gestures!! Check it out..
