I'm just wondering if there is a way to replace the default lockscreen on a phone with one from the market or elsewhere (like the aosp lockscreen)
I've tried to find a diferent lockscreen for my captivate glide but all the ones I tried in the market have issues where they don't time out quickly enough (30seconds) or the don't fully suppress the native lockscreen.
Just wondering if someone smarter than could help me out.
I'm tired of being stuck with the touchwiz lockscreen.
Even if it just goes back to the stock android lockscreen I would be happy.

Hi guys,I recently tried one version of widget locker but with no good results,for example,when I unlock the screen it is covered by "grey rectangles" until I move the page. Is there any solution for that?
I also have a problem with widget locker. When i set it, it doesnt replace my lockscreen.
I have the wildfire with stock 2.2
I have to use the stock lockscreen to get to widget locker lockscreen...
I think the problem is in sense rom. I use rom without sense, and widgetlocker work great.
The "grey rectangles" are the "HTC Weather Animations", you can turn them off in Settings (if your weather is rainy, then you see rain drops & a windshield wiper). I agree they are a pain! Without them WL works great on my WF (not rooted, stock 2.2 ROM)
Thanks,but how can I download other kind of lockscreens?In the thread of themes there are lots of particular lockscreens that I didn't find in widgetLocker,are they using a custom theme with modified lockscreens or do they take those from any site?
You make your own lockscreen with whatever widgets you like - same as a Home screen.
You get a choice of several unlock slider styles, or you can put 'Unlock' on a custom slider. Then you make up the screen with Widgets & Sliders as you like. Only limitation I have found is that you can't put any of the HTC Sense Widgets on the lockscreen

Use adb to pull the app from the phone, replace the original .png's with the ones from the thread, or make your own, and replace then back into the apk, then push it back into your phone.
UNINSTALL it first before you push it.
Ok,got it,but need I to root the phone to run adb?I'm asking 'cause I've original froyo and I can't root my WF!
Anyone interested in adding even more functionality to the Sense 3 Lockscreen?
Say maybe another row of icons or possibly widget functionality (like Doggcatcher control widget, Pandora Widget, Even Music Control Widgets).
Would get me that much closer to matching the functionality of Widgetlocker.
So far the Sense 3 theme on WidgetLocker isn't matching the same functions for me. Maybe I'm not doing it right but still, I'd go with the standard layout but give me that extra row for controlling Doggcatcher or PowerAmp.
Havent been able to yet either. Cant change much on sense 3.0 either. the carousel is making me mad too. I want to eedit the lock screen but we may nee to wait for roms
Morning.
Hoping someone can help me with a work around or fix for applying lockscreen wallpapers.
I have been trying a few of the ICS roms out, today i am the HyDrOG3N one.
And for some reason when trying to set a lockscreen wallpapers it stops you selecting an area based on the portrait layout. meaning you cant display the whole of your selected image.
Also on the current rom it bugs out anyway and i cant change it anyway.
So guess what im asking is there a better way to set a lockscreen wallpaper on the current ics roms and why is it using the landscape area to set what you can have for the lockscreen?
Thanks.
Is it possible to have upcoming events from the calendar on the lockscreen?
I'd like to keep teh TW lockscreen.
Maybe via modding? eg replacing the stocks ticker or the news ticker?
Does anyone know if this would be possible?

I know you want to keep the TW lockscreen...but alternatively, I use Widget Locker lockscreen with Android Agenda Widget. (back since my HD2 days)
TRUST ME...I have owned widget locker for several years and watched it progress. It runs absolutely FLAWLESS on my S3. It has TONS of options/switches to make your every scenario happen without glitches. And there are so many choices for sliders etc.
Anyway, Agenda Widget has many options as well....actually so many it can be quite confusing. I have it listing my next 6 calendar events with TODAYS current events bold and brighter. So when I turn my screen on....that's 1 single button push....I can see my days events...if I have them. To me, this si fast and efficient.
I keep a Handcent widget on it for reading my recent text message...again...1 click....and several sliders including one that opens my camera for quick scenario photo taking. Widgets are overlap-able and resizable etc. (I am not affiliated...just proud)
Widget locker has only one bug which is very annoying.
If you get a Msg, and you've set the Pop Up to come, try unlocking the screen.
The pop up would display for a very short time before WL.
This doesn't happen with TW lockscreen.

Is it an easy task to remove the Sense lockscreen (the arc thingy) and switch to the AOSP JB lockscreen which I find much more visually pleasing?
I just find the HTC Sense lockscreen very ugly compared to the AOSP lockscreen and clock.
Failing that, has anyone developed a mod that can do this task?
I appreciate there are apps on the market, but these really just sit over the top of the Sense lockscreen, it's always there in the background, a phone reboot usually reveals the Sense lockscreen first.
I seem to recall on my old Desire HD it was easy to remove the htclockscreen apk and it would default to an AOSP style, but I am unsure if this works on Sense 4. It might be more integrated now.
Thank you.
You can do exactly what you did on the Desire HD. The only annoyance I've had is that you have to unlock the screen to answer phone calls.
What NasaGeek said is true. In addition, if you use the HTC Clock app for your alarms, a similar problem arises. It seems that the HTC lock screen is bypassed by the HTC phone and clock apps so that you can interact with them immediately when your screen turns on, but without the HTC lock screen, you do have to swipe to unlock the screen before you can take a call or snooze an alarm.
I have noticed that when I used the Android 4.2 stock clock instead of the HTC one that the alarm is no longer an issue.
Well, I tried removing the htclockscreen apk however the Sense lockscreen remains.
There is another apk called fusion, seems to relate to the lockscreen. I tried removing this and then my phone failed to boot. Had to return to a backup. This is running the Elegancia Int rom.
Thanks
