Evo 3D Rooted Remove Weather Lock Screen

Hey,
i have a evo 3d and even before i rooted it and put a custom rom on it, i wanted to remove that weather lock screen that always comes up when you power your phone on. The one that has phone mail camera messages icons and the Current weather, and you then have to drag a circle to the middle. That is the screen i want to remove or disable.
How can i do this with a rooted or stock phone?
I have seen the no lock app and the ScreenMode App which DO remove the Lock screen im talking about, but they ALSO REMOVE the security Pin / Pattern Lock screen also (which i want to retain.)
As it is now, i have to go through 2 lock screen when i power up my phone- The Weather Lock screen i speak of above and want to remove/disable - and the 2nd lock screen is my Pin/Pattern Lock screen which i can enable or disable via Settings->Security->Device Lock.
Please help me remove the weather lock screen,
tks
Widgetlocker is your answer
there's a couple ROMs in the dev section that have removed it, and are using the aosp lockscreen, go check them out.
Just go to setting personalize lock screen and change it to whatever you want no root needed
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
You have 2 options. You can go into system/data and rename HTCLockscreen.apk to HTCLocksreen.bak (rather than deleting it, in case you ever want it back). Or you could use Titanium Backup to uninstall HTCLockscreen
Widget Locker now gives me its locker screen, which is then followed by my Pattern lock screen (which i need, i only want the pattern lock screen).
If i go to Settings->Personalize (nothing happens, as in i get no options to choose), it just brings me back to the home screen.
I have Titanium Backup Pro and removed HtcLockScreen.apk and it removed it sucesfuly, but now the default Google Lock screen (with the lock on one side, speaker on the other) and you slide the lock to the right to unlock it.
Is there a way to keep WidgetLocker running, but set it to NO lock screen. Normally you would just un-check "Enable Widget Locker" in WidgetLocker's settings but doing this makes the home weather lock screen reappear.
or is there a way to disable the Google lock screen and keep the Pattern Security lock screen (this is how i had it on my EVO 4g)
Thanks for the help guys!

Hold your finger on the weather widget for about 10 seconds (untill the *trash* pops up at the bottom) and drag the sucker into the trash.
Took me all of the first day I owned this phone to kill that POS.

Lock screen

Anyway to bypass the initial lock screen when you have a passcode lock so it is one less swipe?

Disable Default Lock Screen

Is there any way to get rid of the redundant ring pull lock screen? I'd like to be able to just have my pattern lock be the only thing I need to access the phone and/or keep it from turning on in my pocket.

[Q][CM10] Slide Lock Delay in CM10.1?

In CM7 there was the ability to set a delayed PIN lock when the screen was powered off such that turning on the screen before the timeout would require a slide to unlock instead of the PIN (Slide Lock Delay). In CM10.1, I have found the option to delay locking with the PIN, but the slide-to-unlock-in-the-meantime option does not seem to exist and the screen isn't locked in any way until the timeout.
Does anyone know how to enable Slide Lock Delay in CM10.1? Perhaps via a workaround?

[Q] Stock 4.3 lock screen widgets

I see that the lock screen widgets are able to be minimized if I set my lock screen security to use only a swipe without any pattern unlock. Is it possible to have the lock screen widgets minimized when turning on the screen while using pattern unlock?
I'm using stock 4.3 omega v51 software.

I think there is a few xposed framework modules that address this. I am just relying on memory here so I'm sorry if they dont end up helping you solve your problem
