[MOD] Disable menu unlock for lockscreen

Since the issue was brought up in this thread, I decided to modify the necessary file to make this change happen for a bunch of themes that are available here.

Theme creators, feel free to uses the updated files in your respective themes if you feel users would appreciate this change. I'll also take down the file(s) if you wish as well.


The change will make it so that pressing the menu button while on the unlock screen will not unlock the phone. By default, this seems to happen. All files are for DJ05 and DJ05 themes. If you have a request for this for the theme/rom you are using, feel free to post here and I'll do my best to create an updated file for you.

The files are all CWM flashable zip files. Be aware that after applying the change, the first reboot will take significantly longer than normal, but subsequent restarts should be normal. As always, be sure to make a backup before applying this just in case. I have not tested all of these, but the same change was made to all files for each theme. Please post back with any issues.

Available Files
Stock DJ05
Gingerbread Grey theme
Gingerbread Black theme
AOSP Theme
Darkstar Theme
Incognito Remix Theme
Matted Blues Theme
