Is there a way to change the shortcuts on the HTC lockscreen. I have looked but cannot seem to find a way
Yes, the lockscreen shortcuts can be changed. The lockscreen shortcuts are the same icons that are in the HTC Sense dock. Change the icons in the Sense dock, then the icons on the lock screen will change.

^^^^^ This ^^^^^
Thanks Matt. That's rather annoying... only four total? Would be nice to be able to put a few more on that screen...
possible to do this without sense launcher?
So I flashed the UKB rom and I only have nova launcher, I'm assuming the config for the shorts cuts is sitting in some file somewhere? Can I still change my launch screen shortcuts without the sense launcher or do I have to reflash the rom? Sorry if the answer is posted somewhere, I searched around and didn't find anything for this particular situation.
I remember using this with my inc 2 .

Sounds like that might work I'll give it a try tonight and see. Thanks!
No dice, there's gotta be a configuration somewhere. I'll keep digging, if someone else comes up with another idea let me know, thanks!

I useapex launcher. I imagine its similar to nova. go to your advanced settings in launcher. and switch to sense as default launcher. change icons, switch back to your launcher.
Ya I tried that but I only have nova launcher as an option, thanks though!
i see. you must have removed sense through aroma.
dirty flash the rom, and don't de-sense.
then you can change your shortcut icons in sense and switch back to your 3rd party launcher.
Ya that's the process I was saving for a last resort, thanks!

You nailed It lol
-I Dial It-
still unable to change lock screen shortcuts
So I just clean flashed ukb 1.1, this time I left Rosie installed. I've tried changing my shortcuts in the dock multiple times and it still has no effect on the lock screen short cuts.
Are you changing them on Rosie or on Nova?
I'm changing them on Rosie

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!
Hi!
Im wondering why i cant place a 4x1 snowstorm widget on my home screen?
Its all empty but it says "there is no more space on this startpage" (translated)
Im using launcher pro för my menubar in the bottom.
He just downloaded the app to try out, it works fine on stock touchwiz. so id guess it is a launcher problem.
try loading TW and see if you can install it on that homescreen.
i dont have launcher pro installed but i would check its options for something like home screen grid and check that it is set to something like 4x4, a quick way to check if you dont want to dig though options is to see how many apps you can place on the home screen in a line, if it is only 3 then you know you are in a somethingx3 format.

thanx dude it worked, just needet to set the columns and rows
I absolutely love the ripple effect unlock on the S3 - But I kinda hate the lockscreen itself (bad quality image for the wallpaper, ugly clock, non-customized icons for shortcuts, etc...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could either customize the S3 lockscreen and use my own clock widgets and/or icons OR somehow get the ripple effect unlock over to my WidgetLocker screen...?
I'd probably just prefer to use the ripple unlock in WidgetLocker.

Not sure on this, widgetlocker is great, but I find it causes wakelocks which isn't helpful. I just wish there was a way to what shortcuts show on the stock lockscreen, and wish it showed todays calendar appointments. That would make it pretty close to perfect without dealing with widgetlockers battery drain issue.
Fwiw, I notice that widget locker constantly asks for your location in the permissions log... Not widget related as I had nothing on the screen just a slider. Guessing that is what causes the wakelock'ing

You can change what shortcuts on lockscreen. Settings. Security. Lock screen options. Short cuts

Awesome, thanks for that.... Now if we could only get Calendar appointments to display, maybe a dev will work it out. Although probably just use the AOKP / CM lockscreen if that's the case when the time comes.
Install water drops plus from the play store and choose whichever wallpaper you like to put under the water and you can use it with widget locker.. Maybe add a transparent slider for now also... That's the best thing I can think of

Disable automatic drops in settings so it only ripples on touch unless yu like it automatic.. Just play around with it..

Heh i sent the author of WidgetLocker an email the other day talking about this very thing....
I not only like the ripple effect but the slider itself being able to be used from ANYWHERE on the screen is nice.
Usually WidgetLocker is very good about adding features and fixing issues in the past.. the only reason I can see him not being able to do something like this would be due to restrictions with the OS itself.
As for the suggestion on waterdrops.. that's great if you don't already use a LiveWallpaper If you use a Livewallpaper like I do, you cannot have 2 of them running at once (one for the lockscreen and one for the normal phone operation).
Posted this on Rootz as well but I wanted to ask here.
My main wants are:
Ability to hide bottom dock and Notification bar and use gestures to bring them back. Would be nice to utilize all that wonderful screen landscape.
Use my ADW and LP icon packs if possible.
Easy to use shortcuts for moving between screens along with smooth transitions when doing so.
Long press icons to change icon image.
Hi-res display
Resizeable widgets
Keep in memory setting that works well and/or the ability to set custom wallpaper dimensions. It's a pain in the butt to have to reset my wallpapers with Wizardrii because LP got booted from memory and had ot restart.
Set non-scrolling wallpapers.
Do both Apex and Nova have all of these features? Guess I could consider ADW too. Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks in advance.
All the features that you want are there in apex dude.. Just try it out..
Icon packs I'm not very sure but definitely sure about the other features

I've used both Apex and Nova, and I guess it's just a personal preference as they at least seem to be quite similar. They're both based on the stock launcher in ICS / JB, and basically have the same features. Only differences I noticed were very specific, but feature-wise they're quite similar. You should just try them out.
I prefer Apex though, if you wondered.
Hi guys,
Apparently I'm not allowed to post in the dev forum, so I figured I would ask here. I had to get rid of the JB lockscreen because I just couldn't use it with having to unlock first and then answer the call. I have the Sense lockscreen now, but it doesn't have any of the apps, which I made sure was enabled under Personalize. The other issue I have is that the notification bar is transparent on the lockscreen, but black on the home screen. Not really a big deal, just more cosmetic. Other than that, nijitsu has done a wonderful job with this rom and I can't wait to see what future releases bring.
Thanks,
Steve
Are you using the sense launcher or nova/apex? You need to put your apps in the sense dock to show on the lockscreen.
As far a notification transparency, that's how it's built.
I assume you have it de- sensed? Only the sense Rosie launcher will support the transparent status bar.
Also that it's your problem with the lock screen shortcuts.. it pulls them from your Rosie launcher bar

Ah, I feel like such an idiot now, lol. I installed the Rosie, but I never opened it. After I took Nova off default and went into regular Sense, the lockscreen icons show up now. As far as the transparency, I think I will wait for that UKB specific mod to get updated to 1.21 and give that a try. I used another mod and it messed with using the power button to reboot (phone automatically reboots with no options).
Thanks for the quick replies guys!
widget locker solves this problem
Using in desensed with widget locker and this makes it possable to answer phone with out unlocking first, phone rings and will display the call screen.:good:
