I've disabled both the Sense launcher and the lockscreen - using ADW Ex and WidgetLocker as replacements.
I've noticed however that incoming calls won't display correctly - upon an incoming call, I'll see the green phone icon in the notification bar but my screen will be black and I'm unable to do anything until the call goes to voicemail.
Apparently incoming call behavior is controlled by the phone.apk. Is there a modified phone.apk I can use with my EVO 3D that will work with the Sense launcher and lockscreen disabled?
Would it be possible to revert to the stock Gingerbread incoming call screen/phone.apk?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I have a question regarding the stock lockscreen (i.e. the default touchwiz lockscreen):
When I receive an email I see no notification on the lockscreen but when I receive a sms message I see a notification on the lockscreen. Can anyone tell my how I can enable it so I can see a email notification on the lockscreen area? And I am not talking about a notification in the notification on the top, which I get. I am using the Samsung email client (i.e the default one).
Thanks
I'm searching for this as well. I didn't even know that new sms notifications would show up on the lock screen until this morning.
It's a really nice built in feature. If it would show emails and missed calls too I wouldn't need an app which would be preferred.
I haven't seen anywhere to edit anything other than the wallpaper of the lockscreen although the manual makes it sound like you can simply long press to edit.
Is this hidden in Samsung Apps or somewhere we wouldn't think to look?
Testing:
Missed calls show too. I guess just Emails don't which is a little odd.
Only missed calls and text messages show on the lock-screen, the only customization allowed on stock lock-screen is clock position and of course the lock-screen wallpaper.
Music widget will also show on lock screen if your using the Samsung music player
Thanks, I didn't know about the music player showing.
Emails would be really nice. A quick link to the camera would be the only other thing.
Good enough for me to not use an app (widgetlocker) though.
Hi.
The problem is the following: My "phone number lookup" app is not able to unlock the sense lockscreen, so that I am not able to view a phonebook search of the incoming calls before I answer. If the screen is unlocked then it is not a problem, and I can see the popup field with the information
When using sense versions prior to 3 it was not a problem, as the popup field was placed on top of the lockscreen.
But after update I need to answer the phone(and thus unlocking the screen) before I am presented the information.
I have tried WidgetLocker to override the Sense incoming call lockscreen, but it can only override the regular lockscreen, not the incoming call one.
Anyone that knows how to solve this annoying issue?
I only get the ICS lockscreen which is locked with a pattern so I have the risk of missing a call.
If I understand your question correctly, your lockscreen only works if you set a pattern? Depending on your ROM you can adjust the timeout for the lockscreen so that it locks right away vs. waiting a few minutes.
As far as getting to the dialer screen, you have to unlock it and open the phone app. More details will help though:
What ROM are you on?
Does the lockscreen work without a pattern/pin?
When someone calls you and your device is locked, what happens? Does it go to voicemail right away or does it show that someone is calling?
No.. I just get the ICS lockscreen when I receive a call, no answer-decline buttons. So I have to unlock the phone first before I can accept the call. This is because I have the sense dialler with the ICS lockscreen.
Is there an ICS dialler I can install to make the incoming callscreen showup in the ICS lockscreen?
I know what you mean, I installed the stock ics contacts and dialer app from the themes section and tried freezing the HTC dialer, didn't work and calls still come in on the HTC dialer. It may be part of sense?

Oh OK I understand you know. Sorry. You can try an app like widget locker which provides different style lock screens. That shouldn't interrupt your calls. It worked well for me.

If you're using something like leedroid tweaks to switch the lockscreen (at least over sense 3.6, that's all I've tried it on), there's no way to make calls show up on the lock screen. For now, at least, you have to unlock and open the app if you want to use AOSP lock screen on Sense (3.6 only? Haven't tried any other version.)
Love the Inc 4G but cannot find out how to get the screen to turn onto the lock screen when I receive an incoming text message.
Any ideas?
Using the stock messaging app but also tried SMS Pop UP and Handcent.
Thanks!
I use Go Sms, which those settings are under Notification Settings
smsAwake, it's what i use! works pretty well anyways if you like the stock messaging app
tweaks will come
I'm rooted with stock sense rom. I dislike the sense "ring" unlock. Widget locker has let me change the lock screen but when I get an incoming call it is still the sense ring unlock. I used an app called nolock but it removes the lock screen completely so when I get an incoming call it behaves as if the screen was on.
Is there anyway to get a slide to answer or decline call like in ICS?
