That sounds like the surest way to unlock the screen accidentally in the pocket/handbag.

To what technology of iPhone are we refering here? None of the iPhones I have used has been able to identify whether I am unlocking it with my finger, toe, nose or side of my palm. Obviously not counting the new fingerprint technology where I can only choose one of this to be used.
But anyways, I also think this would be cool feature to have. On personal usage I would agree with Pichlo, I would be too afraid to have it on since I often do have my hands tucked to same pockets I might have my phone in.

In /etc/mce/mce.ini, the default policy for touchscreen interrupts is to listen for double-tap when the screen is blanked. There is no option there to listen for long-press, but it does say that the behaviour can be further customised using GConf, so there may be a possibility there.

When I have my hand inside my handbag for a mere moment , I make sure to touch my phone screen continuously for 2.5 secs , without moving my finger , no one said ever.

Hi guys,
Was wondering if something like this could be achieved.
Instead of 2 tapping to unlock the screen , I was wondering if someone could implement , a one long tap and hold (2.5 secs) to unlock it.
Thank you!

it's meant to be an alternative , as a touchscreen gesture.
