Are you completely stock, or have you changed ROMs/kernals/themes?

Hmmm. Here's what I would try next, just for the hell of it: remove all of your icons from your dock and from your main home screen. Change your wallpaper to something else stock. Reboot. Put one normal, everyday (like the phone dialer or people, etc) icon/shortcut - not a widget - in your dock. Reboot. Check lockscreen. See your shortcut?
HTH!
Try going to personalize under settings and go to lock screen. There should be options for different lock screen options.

What did you install before this happened? You said you are stock, but are you rooted? Delete anything? This wouldn't just disappear without either clicking that setting off, or deleting something you shouldn't have.
I know you said stock... but did you install a different launch.. ie Nova, Apex... etc. and stop/freeze sense. When i did that i lost the lockscreen apps. Kinda sucks but sense needs to be running to have those, regardless of using it or not.... Good luck

Lockscreen shortcuts are the icons in the sense dock. Even if you are running nova it will pull them from the sense dock.

Don't disable Sense. As far as enabling it to change the dock, just go into Nova settings and use the "Default launcher" button towards the bottom. Go to Sense, "Just Once" and set your dock. Hit the Home button and click Nova, "Always". Done.

For me, i can still select phone for my lockscreen shortcuts, but its not in my app drawer. Should it be this way?

So for clarity, you have the phone shortcut available for lockscreen, but not in app drawer?
Go in to the settings where you can change which apps show. Select a different one then chose the phone again and it will show.

Cool thanks for that. It doesn't matter since the main sense button is phone anyway. I downloaded adw ex to see if the phone icon would show up in that app drawer and it did, so i imagine its just not supposed to be in the sense app drawer to avoid redundancy.

I haven't done a single update and the phone isn't in my app drawer. I removed it from my lockscreen in favor of the flashlight (which, among other important things..htc didn't include).
I am having a few issues and since it looks like root is out of the question unless HTC miraculously keeps their promise .. I may just do all the OTAs.

You might as well, when root is found, or when HTC unlocks it, there will have been several more OTA's to worry about. Just enjoy the fixes for now. Just my input.

Yea you're right. If we ever do get root, it isn't gonna be anytime soon. I may as well get this thing as functional as possible.
I fixed the app missing by doing a reset. I was all up to date but the update didn't go into effext until I did a reset.
Sent from my 3vo
So I have done all the updates and today I did a hard reset on my phone. The phone icon was on my lockscreen until I changed some of the other icons. It is no longer there and I cannot select it either.
I am wondering if the small updates stick after a hard reset? I went to check for any updates and it says none available. Is there anyway to install the small updates manually from somewhere?
Edit....Just an FYI after I kept checking for updates, eventually the small app updates was available and now I got my phone icon back. So anyone who hard resets their device after the updates, make sure you keep checking for the small app update because it does not stick after a hard reset and it did not auto prompt me to do so either.
I have not rooted my EVO LTE yet. But I installed ADW EX for now and can't stand the menu button on the bottom. It takes up too much space.
I'm not a Sense fan and was hoping version 4.0 was better, but but after a couple of days I still prefer pure Android. Unfortunately I can't figure out why HTC and others are adding permanent home, and back and recent buttons when ICS looks better without them.
Even when I root and install CM9, for example, I'll have a huge menu button that takes up too much space.
Anyone see what I'm talking about?
What can we do about it?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Man I installed go launcher and I'm wondering the same exact thing. I upgraded to this phone to have a bigger screen than my s2 and I can't even do that without sense..
Does anyone know how to get rid of that menu vertical ... at the bottom?
I think an option is to use Apex or Holo launcher. They seem to be better suited for ics. Just saw a video review of it here http://goo.gl/cykps
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Another option is Nova Launcher. It is a true ICS launcher that is really slick and and does away with the three dot menu.
There is a mod that could be flash to remove menu bar and remaps it. Have you guys tried it?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
If you flash cm9 they remapped the buttons that crap is gone, it's running way better than sense also. Just a few minor issues.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
But is there an official CM9 out for the evo? One thing I'm not liking is the 1gb ram and sense. Sense is still too heavy for 1 gb ram. Sometimes it takes 15-20 seconds to load the sense launcher.
I bought apex pro. Better, but when I jump to different apps then hit the home button, sometimes it takes a few seconds to load the launcher.
That just tells me memory is running out somewhere (sense).
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
OP, just to clarify, when you unlock and run CM9 , you WON'T have the big long menu bar. Even on sense, if you're rooted you can get rid of it.

+1 on Nova.
Running Fresh 1.0 with Nova launcher, no lag but never really had any of the Sense 4.0 reload issues that some talked about anyway. Figured it was just the GS3 people trying to troll but maybe a bad batch of cells went out too..
Anyway, NOVA is sick! Setup the way you want, gives you better visual then GO etc (IMO) and great on footprint (memory). Works very well and as the other user stated, its native to ICS anyway. Give it a shot, blows the doors off anything else I tried and no lag anywhere..
Fresh is great too IMO, there are some great multitasking tips using the ROM toolbox, adjusting heaps etc..works well also,

What you say would be a solution for my discontent. I'm going to root soon and will remove some of the sense bloatware, but removing the menu also interests me. Regarding CM9 once it's officially supported ill be on board.
I bought apex and almost bought nova instead. They both look interesting.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Just to let you know the menu button on the bottom shows because those apps having been optimized to ICS, yes after 7-8 months and developers still doing the same, thats the reason you dont see any system apps doing that, cause their optimize, I wish developers would tho

I used Go with my Droid X and Liberty and loved it. Since this is my first HTC I've been giving sense a try, but the thing that drives me nuts is the home screen only sits vertical, where as Go works either or.
I never did theme mine, the craziest i got was enabling some of the cool page transition graphics. I'm starting to lean toward Go again, esp if i can get the sense clock/weather 4x1 widget. I have to say i love that thing a lot.

Same with me, that's a waste of space. Apex launcher doesn't have that black menu bar. Not sure about other launchers.
I used it in the past but found it "choppier" then other options. ADWLauncher EX is my go-to nowadays. never had a problem with it.
I'm trying it right now. It seems to be the only one that I can find that offers a 5 column app drawer and allows resizable widgets for free.
It seems pretty fast, there is choppiness every now and then but that is usually when I'm running other stuff at the same time.
The biggest downside is the Honeycomb menu bar. I emailed the developer about this issue, hopefully they will take care of it since it is a fairly simple fix. If some of you like it too (except for the menu bar), I'd encourage you to email them and complain. The more complaints the higher the chances of a fix. [email protected]
I tried most launchers and the one i like the most is Nova Launcher.

The only way to "disable" blinkfeed currently is to not set anything up and to set another screen as your home screen. It will still be sitting there on the far left, but ignorance is bliss, so you just don't swipe too far left. LOL I'm sure it will come with time, but the developers are still concentrating on getting all the bugs out before they start working on the tweaks.
You can just set a different homescreen as the default one.

On your HTC One Home Screen just swipe to left.
Just tap and hold on any blank area of the screen.
A Panel will appear on the top. From the available panel, you can set one as your alternative to BlinkFeed. Just tap and drag the panel you wish to set it as home screen. Drag the panel to “Set as home”.

It sounds like you're definitely having an issue with the launcher configuration. I've dealt with that before too, but the good thing is sometimes I'll have trouble with nova trying to get the settings dialed in perfect and it still will feel off, and I'll try apex and the stock settings out of the box perform crazy fast and smooth. Or it might be vice versa, but I would tinker with that.
Also, make absolutely sure you aren't restoring your launcher backup or settings or anything that you used on the S3 over to the DNA.

I'm talking about the settings in the Nova launcher settings, not the ones in developer settings. There are speed settings in Nova launcher's settings that you can tell it to give priority to speed over graphics.
Edit: Found another person's post on another site about it:
To make it even faster go to nova settings, look and feel and change scroll and animation speed to faster than light.

That does make it feel a little faster but i was saying that nova launcher made my phone unresponsive once.. The button clicks would take few seconds to register.... A reboot fixed it... Thank you. I am trying the faster setting and i like it

Maybe you just aren't used to sense? Sense has always been known for being a heavier skin. I'm fine with it, however sense 5 is way faster and smoother. Just because the phone doesn't feel fast, doesn't mean it isn't. It is a very quick device.

I don't know if this thread is dead but for people with this issue in either nova or apex in their respective advanced settings you can make the launcher stay in memory. This brings redraws to nothing on apex for me.
