Hi all, sorry if I missed any solution to this already...

I am currently using xtrROM 4.2 and like many - am SICK of pocket answering my Eris.
(I know this happens regardless of rooting)

Is there a way of completely disabling the slide unlock to answer the phone?
Using the Green to answer, Red to deny works perfectly well.
I want it like an "olden-days" dumb phone :p

Is it at all possible to modify/flash the ROM to render the screen inactive for this?
Most threads point to unlocker apps, but I'm trying to avoid them...
