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

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.
To remove the default HTC Lock screen?
Eitherway i dont have a Weather Widget on my home screen, nor can i add one (dont have weather or news listed under my widgets when i try to add)
tks for the reply
so i'm looking for an app(doesn't need to be fancy) that would change the lockscreen wallpaper automatically like say,everytime i press the power button to check the time.(imagine your desktop wallpaper changing every 5 mins- something like that) i can't use fancy widget lockers because i use a pattern-security lock and it would be pointless to unlock and then do another swipe to use the phone. anybody here has an idea of what can do this? thanks:laugh::laugh:

My personal understanding, u go to Settings find security> Lock screen> Swipe lock option. U try lock and unlock that should change back to swipe to unlock style. The lockscreen wallpaper u can find at Play store.
I've tried different ROMs and I have come back to one backup and I have not had any issues until now my shortcuts are no longer showing up on the lock screen with the swipe option. Do anyone know how I can get those shortcuts back on my lock screen?
On another point, I like the calendar and shortcuts on the swipe lock screen. Is there an app, apk, or mod that I can install to allow me to get the swipe lock screen and a pattern or password lock screen behind it. Thanks.

Is there a way to enable lock screen widgets with a patter lock,not only the swipe lock
settings - lock screen - lock screen type - choose from there ...
from 4.3 onwards, if u have any type of password, u will not have lockscreen widgets or shortcuts. Security reasons.

Is there a way to get the lock screen messages to open when the message is swiped? I have to swipe the screen first to unlock the phone. I do not have a password, just swipe to unlock..
No. When you have a notification on the lock screen you need to select it then swipe to unlock and then app will be launcher right away.
This is such a frustrating mechanic! I'm used to my Nexus 5 where I just double-tap the notification.. Argh
