There isn't at the moment. That stuff is tied into the framework.
Yeah i dont think there is a way to switch between the slider and the button. The button appears when the phone is already on and the slider appears when the phone is off. So the only way to always have the button would be to keep your phone on (awake) at all times.
Thanks for the replies.
I find that when the phone awakes, it's a little slow, and sometimes its hard to slide at first. It's really easy just to press a button though.
I wonder if there is a way to throttle down my cpu and keep the phone awake, and when I use the phone, have boost the cpu, maybe with SetCPU. But when the phone is awake and locked, I'll still get the slider. It has to be awake, and unlocked. That won't work.
