I want to use face unlock, but it sort of defeats the convenience if I have to pull the ring on the Sense lockscreen first. Is there any way to disable/delete the sense lockscreen so it does not open before the face unlock?
You can with leedroid tweaks but make sure you use the right one for the right version of android. It's an awesome mod, but I don't recommend removing the sense lock screen because it does make other things inconvenient. I tried its for a while.
If you receive a call, you have to unlock the phone before you can answer. Usually I'd miss the call before I was able to answer. Same goes for turning off alarms.

So I feel pretty stupid asking this since I am not a n00b to Android but this is my first Sense phone.... And yes, I have tried searching!
Is there a way to disable the text message pop up on the sense lockscreen without disabling the notifications? I love the lockscreen but I hate the fact it shows who is texting me. I am using widgetlocker for now but I would love to go back. Any input is appreciated.

The only thing I can think of would be to use GO SMS and turn on the "privacy mode." Disable notifications on the sense messaging app. It should push the GO SMS notifications to the lockscreen and will show as just "new message." I haven't tried it but it's worth a try.
You should be using GO SMS anyway. The sense messaging app is horrible.
Cam someone point me in the direction of the aosp clock so I can get the aosp lockscreen up and running. How would I set it all up also, its been a while.

Don't know about the clock part. But if you want the lock screen. You can just use root.explorer to go to the directory system/app were the lock screen is the rename the htclockscreen.apk to htc.lockscreen.bak then reboot and that should make the native aosp lock screen appear. If I'm not mistaken.

Yea but aosp clock is needed, otherwise alarms will strike a big problem.

You can double check, but I've been using the aosp lockscreen for a while now, and haven't had any alarm issues. If you don't have a pattern unlock set up, as soon as you unlock the phone you are prompted by the alarm to dismiss or snooze. If you do have a pattern unlock set up, you won't be able to unlock until after you enter the pattern to fully unlock the phone. I haven't gotten the issue that I had with the Evo 4G where you wouldn't be able to silence the alarm without a battery pull unless you were using the AOSP lockscreen. Try it out and see if you have the same results. I actually made a thread on how to do this a little while ago, but it got buried. I guess most people prefer the sense 3.0 lockscreen.

Well, with the Evo 4G, the only reason I needed the AOSP clock was because the alarm wasn't able to be dismissed without it. You'd have to pull the battery in order to get the alarm to shut off. I have not encountered that problem with this phone. I've been using the AOSP lockscreen, and have been able to disable the alarm every time (htc alarm) without issues. As I said, if you use a pattern lock or whatever, you do need to unlock the pattern before being given the chance to dismiss or snooze the alarm, but you do not need pull the battery.
How do I get the previews to show up? Not the 4 app shortcuts but the preview if you get a text message or misses call it'll pop up on tje lock screen. My wife's EVO 3d does it

It should do it automatically. What lock screen are you using? (Ex. Wallpaper, Stocks, Weather, etc.)
You have to have notification turned on for sms. Phone should work on its own.
Im using weather and its not. Im using regular sense 3.0 lock screen no custom launcher

i have the same setup as you, weather lockscreen and no custom launcher.
i do get the missed call/sms notifications. i didn't change any settings and don't remember turning on any notification for phone calls anywhere.
perhaps experiment with other lockscreens to see if you get missed call notifications on them? at least you'll be able to determine if just the weather one doesnt show the notifications or if all your lock screens dont show notifications?
the other solution which comes to mind if wiping the lockscreen data settings storage with the assumption perhaps something got corrupted somehow.
might be worth double checking any type of notification toggle for missed phone calls, although i don't recall seeing that ... prob worth checking sms notification toggle also.
hope that helps, let us know.
I don't get the sms notice but I am using handcent...I do get the missed call notice....Using viperrom and the weather lockscreen.
Go into settings -> privacy -> display message text. Make sure that is checked and you should be good to go
Oh? Your iPhone can't view this 3d content?

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.)
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?
