Hey all,
I recently downloaded an app called 3D PARALLAX BACKGROUND.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vinwap.parallaxwallpaper
Seemed like a cool and interesting thing, much like the new iOS feature. Background looked pretty awesome too once I was done installing...
Only problem is, it changed my lock screen to something else (I guess a default within the program) and no matter what I do, I can't change it back to stock.
I have tried uninstalling the app, restarting the device, changing lockscreen to every stock lockscreen available, etc but it still won't change back.
Super weird and it seems that I am the only person that has had this problem. I looked through the app reviews and nobody mentions it. Wondering if it's an HTC One problem... Running 4.2.2 Android Revolution 12.0
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have attached a screenshot of the lockscreen in question. It's a nice looking one at least, but I am not a huge fan of the functionality and I would rather have a 12-hour clock than a 24-hour one...
TL;DR App changed lockscreen, can't get the stock one back.

Well that was quick, I figured out it was a completely other app that was activated for some reason. Go Locker was the culprit. Problem solved
Good work bro

Hey guys. I'm running Aloysius V12 and have been using Beautiful Widgets. Love the look and it's fairly reliable as far as the time/date/weather go, but whenever I plug my phone into the computer, the style reverts to stock. I am very particular about the way it looks, because the way I have it now looks quite good with my wallpaper, but when it reverts, it doesn't match up well. Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things since I just have to restart the widget, but curious to see if anyone knows why the USB plug-in would make any difference. I have had this issue on BW 2.998 and 2.999. As a side note, does anyone know how to change the date font? Changing the clock font has no bearing on it, and neither do weather skins. Thanks in advance.

Beautiful widgets says, in its own documentation, that it doesn't work with SenseUI.
This is partially true. It works, sometimes, and for a while. my buddy has a small widget on his home screen that he has no troubles with, but I've used the brightness widget, a home screen one, and others.
I've had Sense randomly force close on me (MANY MANY times), when tapping the widget (or sometimes for seemingly no reason at all - presumably when the widget updates), and so on and so forth.
They 'Work', but they aren't reliable, that I've seen. I haven't used them since like 2.7 or so.
That's odd that the font changes when plugging it in.
I've been to their site a couple of times, but guess I didn't run across that. I asked this same question on android forums and the response had to deal with BW skins are saved on the sd card and once it is plugged in, then it doesn't have access to them anymore. I'm not sure if this is the exact reason, but makes as much sense as anything else I've thought of. Too bad it's not more reliable because the only competition that I have seen is Weather Widget donate. I don't have anything particularly against that one, but just can't customize it get the look I am going for...
Upon unlocking phone, in the background, it is like beaming sunlight, then goes away.
I have recently rooted, and tried a few ROMS and went back to stock. Anyone have any idea what this is? It did not do it before. Doesn't bother me, I just cannot seem to identify it from Ti or Running programs.

lol. Its a function of Sense and the Sense clock widget. It has the weather and gives you a nice weather screen animation on initial unlock and going to the home screen. Its can only be found and run on sense roms.

I see where the lol is now
I had never seen it before, and I am not, or didn't think I was using the widget, I will have to check... I currently have a blank home screen. It actually looks kind of cool when it happens.
just an fyi beautiful widgets also does the same effects also
This question may be hard to explain, so if I am doing a poor job at explaining, please let me know, but right now I have a rooted Thunderbolt (Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3) and I am using WidgetLocker. When I unlock my phone, I like how sometimes it just go straight to the homescreen with no transition, but sometimes it does that 'zoom out' transition where the screen gets smaller as it zooms out into the homescreen. I tried looking all over in the preferences of WidgetLocker but I cannot seem to find where I can make it so there is no transition and the lock screen goes straight to the homescreen... I also looked at my LauncherPro preferences to see if I can stop the homescreen from transitioning from the lockscreen (maybe that is where the problem lies). I could not find anything and was wondering if there was a way to make it so the lockscreen/homescreen do not transition when the phone is unlocked? Any help is appreciated - thanks!
Bump - if I need to clarify, let me know, because I sometimes do a piss poor job at making sense of my words, ha.
Hmm.. does it do that without widgetlocker?
It could possibly be just part of the structure of the Rom.
Mine, when I unlock, has the fade effect.
Would that be what you're talking about?

Possibly? It looks like when I unlock, sometimes it goes right to the homescreen, which I like, or sometimes it looks like the lockscreen background (which is different from the homescreen background, maybe I should have clarified that earlier, sorry) zooms away into the homescreen background, which looks awful. I feel like it is trying to transition, but since they are different backgrounds, it looks weird unless I can change that. Is that better or is my explanation still a little confusing?
From what it sounds like, its just the lockscreen app you are using, just having a different wallpaper. Have you tried changing both to the same or is it something else?
I believe I know what you're talking about with how the lockscreen seems to "slide" away so to speak?
It did that with me when I used lockscreen apps

Yeah, I am using WidgetLocker, which a lot of people told me was great, and so far I really love how customizable it is. I would like to keep it both different (I have a sort of theme going on and it wouldn't work right if they were different), but yeah, the lockscreen just sort of zooms away and the homescreen flies in (the background does not necessary fly in but the top notification bar and the icons fly into place). I feel that there is a way to make it so there is no transition or anything like that, but I cannot seem to find it, ha.
Not really sure. That's just how the system works I believe. It's basically an app transitioning to another app. (Which can be disabled in phone display settings)
So let me know how it goes because I have been considering about getting widget locker too haha.

Hmmm... Your post actually gave me an idea and I switched that Animations from "All Animations" to "Some Animations." I have no idea if this will work or not, but I will let you know.
EDIT:
"Some Animations" made it go away - thanks to everyone who helped!
Because of the constant Sense reloads I downloaded and am using the Nova launcher.
While I like it a lot, the one thing I miss is the HTC photo gallery. I'm not finding anything out there that matches it. What I am looking for is a full screen widget for one of the home screens that shows all of the photos from your device just as the HTC gallery/album does. What I have seen out there either is an app you have to activated before you get to the album or a widget where you have to go in and select which photos you want to show on the screen.
Any help?
I'm more curious why you were getting sense reloads. I'm not having any issue like that at all, and haven't seen it reported on the mikmik.

Well, in general Sense has had reloading troubles across platforms for about a year or so depending on the device and the update where it seems to have started:

HTC's "community" forum had a number of threads about it which seem to have been deleted:

Specifically with the EVO LTE:

This is also a problem on the One X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1601619.html
So, while perhaps not for all, it is an issue. It may depend on what app you are leaving to get back to the home page (seems to happen every time with Chrome) or how many apps "open" or how much memory being used, or who knows... And as you can see from the threads, there have been lots of suggestions and supposed "solutions" which don't seem to solve and sure didn't for me. Got so bad that started considering taking the LTE back before the 14 days was up. But Nova solved this problem. Not only do i like the launcher, there have been no loading/reloading"resets since I installed it.
And, in any case, I find I like the NOVA launcher and plan to stick with it at least until we have fully functional stable ROMs and I am fairly certain there wont be any major OTA updates (one hearsay post I saw suggested a recent update to the International One X helped the reload issue but can't find a confirmation).
Which brings me back to the ONE thing I did like about Sense that I cant seem to replicate, a photo gallery that accesses all of your pics and displays them all the time on one of the home screens, just like the HTC Gallery does.
Anybody????
So, is this impossible to do?
I would like to know if this is at all possible.

Quickpic works great https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder

I just installed quickpic and it doesn't have a widget that I can find.
But, I live what it does with the burst mode shots, gives them their own folder and unpacks them. Nice. I hadn't tried quickpic on this device yet.

Hey guys. I'm the type of person who loves his phone to be like a second home. My friend had an HTC Desire HD and it impressed me so much i actually wanted to but it off him, even though its about 2x worse in specs than my current phone, but it has the most beautiful user interface i've ever seen.
I'm talking about the HTC DHD weather unlock animation.
I first noticed it when i asked the friend to make a call and upon unlocking the phone the screen froze over and it started to snow, it was pretty amazed by how good it looked, and how accurate it was since it was really snowing outside.
Here it is. ( not my video, but exactly the same thing)
HTC Desire HD Weather Animation Snow - YouTube
I think this is one of the best looking widgets/launchers i've ever seen, and i have a question, not as much as a request.
I do know that this is "exclusive" to sense, most likely 3.0, but would it be theoretically possible to rip out the launcher/weather widget you saw in the video?
I am NOT asking for any warez, just some instructions, i feel like i'm dedicated enough to work with this for a few days just to get it.
I'm currently using a SONY Xperia GO , and i would like to port the needed things to it from sense (3.0?) to it. How do i do it?
Maybe someone knows a similar app that does this and looks like it.. But so far i've downloaded 20+ widgets/apps from the play store and didn't find anything ever NEAR as beautiful, or as functional. Most of the apps/widgets require you to click on the widget to see a weather animation, thats not what i want.
TL;DR : How do i port the sense (3.0?) launcher/weather widget? Is there an app that is as functional and looks similar?
Thanks in advance.
It's VERY difficult to port proprietary UI stuff like Sense based things to other devices. So much of Sense is not just based on the apps, but also on the framework-res.apk, systemUI,apk, and another one - htc.resources or something of the sort. Been a bit since I was that deep into HTC stuff. There just aren't going to be any easy or elegant solutions to this. As for a half assed work around, Go Locker claims to have animated weather stuff on the lockscreen in it's free version. Couldn't hurt to check it out? They have TONs of themes, but I find the Go Locker and Launchers to be a bit laggier than some. HTC has started adding some of their apps into the Play Store, including Blinkfeed, but something tells me that there won't really be a way for them to add the lockscreen as a standalone option.
