change how to answering droid

answer the phone while driving.

Lolz, surprised no one replied just to comment on that :p.

I'm not sure about an app or anything to change it, but I know if she gets a Bluetooth earpiece/speaker/head unit for her car, then she can just hit the answer button on the receiver to answer and talk. I use it all the time in my Altima and it's nice to not touch the phone to answer.

I am like 90% positive that the "slide" motion of the Lockscreen (and subsequent "answer call" screeen) is hardwired in a way that cannot be changed via normal methods. Those screens cannot be "replaced" in the same way your sms, or even dialer apps can.

Technically with a rooted droid, and a custom ROM built from altered source code, it could be possible but as of yet no one has made a ROM that does that.

It would be nice for this to be an option. The Palm Pre had a patch that enabled "slide to answer". Was pretty convenient in certain situations.
