I want to change the call lockscreen, I can't stand the pull down sense one. How would I go about doing that? Ive already changed the lockscreen when you wake up the phone, now I just need to change the one when you want to answer a call. Thank you in advance for any help.
+1 i hate the pulldown answer and would love the slide answer...i too changed my lockscreen from the pulldown to the slide by erasing the htclockscreen.apk but i wish the call lockscreen changed too
Agreed

How do YOU change the lock screen. Is there an apk out there
Sent from my Eris using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
i am not sure but i think you could take away the phone.apk (or maybe it is the htcphone.apk or something like that) from system/app and replace it with the phone.apk from a vanilla rom or tainted vanilla rom...
not sure about this... if you do do this make sure you do a nandroid backup before you do this.
Use root explorer or and and remove htclockscreen.apk inside system/app folder that should put you at stock slide lock screen.

Unfortunately, that doesn't replace the incoming call lockscreen, just the main lockscreen.
True. Removing phone.apk is bad idea. As far as replacing it you can try.

Also download "no lock" to disable the stock lockscreen
What's 'no lock'? I thought just using a lockscreen app would get rid of that one and put another one I want?
Yes, it puts it "on top", but doesn't completely replace out like out works with home launchers, abd eventually, the stock lockscreen pops up on top of your custom one.
No Lock disables the default keyguard so you can use a custom one without issues.

Be careful, once you use no lock the genius button can wake the phone and place calls.

If you are rooted, you can remove the HTC lockscreen app from /system. The default froyo lockscreen is just being overridden by that app.

Rock on! I always hated that lock screen! *presses easy button*
I would also add that a reboot is necessary.

I used root explorer to move the htclockscreen.apk and the odex files to my sdcard, got the standard froyo lockscreen. Moving it back didn't put the htc lockscreen back though, I still have the standard froyo. Now that I got rid of it, I kind of want it back, lol.
Actually, this may be a problem, I may need to exchange my Mytouch. Even a factory reset doesn't do it. I've wiped and restored it, still have the stock froyo lockscreen. The files are back in system/app, but I can't get it back somehow.
Try re installing the apk in the root folder, the n reboot, I haven't tried , just a theory
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Tried that, nothing. I may just need to find a stock rom to flash now.
Did you reboot it after install
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
It wouldn't let me install, "application not installed". And yes, I had it mounted r/w. It's in there, it just isn't seeing it.
I tried, same here, I even tried fix permission in rom manager with no luck ...

Hmm, I think I should bring this up as a separate thread, this could be an issue if anyone needs to go back completely to stock.
Quick question though, do you ever see the left slide bar missing every now and then? Sometimes when I turn the screen on the left slide bar is invisible, but it shows when I touch it.
4 shared.com search for "go to .apk"
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yeah the left side did that to me too, luckily I did a nandroid right after root, took me back to stock. If you didn't, do that next time!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
once this is doe is there anyway to get a picture on the background of the froyo background
I uninstalled the htc lockscreen on mine but I did a nandroid backup beforehand, and after doing that I just did a restore and it came back to working fine, don't know if that helps anyone out any
Anyway to do it right now? I want it completely gone and just want to use Widget Locker.
I think can delete it with root explorer and replace it with the aosp one

When I use widget locker it doesn't bring the sense 3.0 lock screen.

There's an app for that...
it's called NO LOCK in the market. I use it and go back and forth between the lock screen and then no lock when I want to eliminate it.

YOU complete me. Thank you.
i was wondering if anyone could make a flashable zip so we can have this locksreen instead of the sense one.
the locksreen is found in this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198099
would be highly appreciated devs!
What I did, was to rename the htc.lockscreen.apk to htc.lockscreen.bak with root explorer and reboot the phone without locking it. If you do it, you have to get other clock for the alarm.

If you get the app "widgetlocker" from the market you can do that, and have all the cm7 lockscreen options too.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Ill pass on the Widget locker thanks. And were is that apk located and can I do it over adb instead of root explorer?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I think you can do it via adb, the app its located at /system/app, remember to use other clock for alarm, because the android lockscreen doesnt work with the alarm snooze message.
I'm using widget locker with honeycomb theme and was wondering if there is a way to replace the stock lock screen with this one due to a few force closes making it revert to stock lock screen.

I used MagiLocker for a little while, but it seemed a little laggy to me.

I use WidgetLocket too with the ICS theme, and haven't had it force close once. It has worked perfectly for me so far. Maybe trying reinstalling it? Are you rooted or running mostly stock?
I'n rooted running adw ex with the snowball mod. I was wantint to replae stock lockscreen and not just have an overlay. Just seems like it would run better.

I find that with both widget locker and go launcher, that even if I have links to the apps copied to the system/app folder, my clock widget (fancy widget) loses the skin definition and needs to be reapplied.
Otherwise, things work fine.
Do you think putting a link to fancy widget in system/app would fix the clock skin issue?
Don't know if this would work but on my phone I use NoLock to disable the stock and Go Locker as a replacement. Might be worth a try.
There is a setting in the widget locker settings to disable stock lock screen. Can't remember where it is right now in the settings tho.
As far as the widgets disappearing after reboot, I have the same issue and haven't found a way to fix it yet.

If you want them not to lose configuration you have to move them from datt/app
to system/app and there you should give them full permissions. That has solved my problem with widgets in Go launcher
I'm using MeanROM, but I prefer an AOSP style lockscreen. Can anybody tell how to get, or make, one without using a non-Sense launcher?
Widget locker out of the market
Go locker/launcher is worth looking into as well
Use your root file browser and go to system, app, rename HTC lockscreen (add .bak to it so you can go back to it if you want later) reboot, and you'll have stock ics lockscreen. You just won't have any of the sense features, like seeing who's calling, or answering without unlocking first. Give it a shot, you can always restore sense lockscreen if it's not what you wanted.

No problem. I found it by mistake, I downloaded holo locker and was trying to get rid of sense. But for some reason holo locker wouldn't stay and the stock ICS lock screen kept coming up Instead. So I just got rid of holo locker.

Delete that and all the idlescreen files if you wanna be thorough. You can always pull them later from the rom zip and reinstall them.
