Hey quick question, I really dislike the EVO Sense lockscreen, I'd much rather have the 2.1 lockscreen style, Flan I think. How would I go about removing it?
Thanks!
Turn off Sense and it is gone.
Remove htclockscreen.apk and .odex or rename them and you should get stock while keeping the other sense goodness.
I turned of Sense and it stayed the original Sense lockscreen.
After you turned off Sense, it should have asked you what home screen you wanted...Sense or Launcher. I just tried it on my phone and it worked fine.

Same problem, the sense lock stayed with a disable. I want to keep sense but I dislike the Locker, I tried using terminal with the Unrevoked root and I can't seem to access the APN? It says access denied or something.
Downloaded RootExplorer and mounted Read and Write operations and changed the name of the two files, Rebooting now. Lets see if that worked.
That didn't work, the file comes right back when I reboot.
I would like to now how to do this too. I am using ADW launcher and the Sense lock screen is still there.
Try no lock in the Market. Also lets you use the volume rocker to come out of standby.

We don't have /system rw in android yet. That is why its not working.
You have to boot to recovery (nandroid screen), mount, and change through adb.

Thank you! Just what I was looking for although it would also be nice to be able to double tap one of the for cap buttons to wake up the Evo.
EDIT: Oh it seemed just about perfect and then I figured out that it also turns off the screen lock for incoming calls which is no good for me.
removing htclockscreen.apk and odex does bring up the android lockscreen however, the graphics are off, just like the hero was.
Well damn I've tried 3 different computers and I cannot get ADB to detect my phone correctly so that I can work around and delete the stuff. Is there a guide I can follow exactly to the tee for the Evo 4g
I saw a app on the market to remove the sense screen. Can't remember what its called tho.

sounds like you haven't enabled USB debugging in settings->applications on the evo.

I have though, the drivers I try to use will not install when I go to device manager, and I've tried stopping windows from installing automaticly to use the drivers from the SDK.
Lockbot Pro. Best app there is. Built in editor to make your own or browse the gallery and download.
I just made an X10 Themed lockscreen. I'm happy.
What is the Code I need to put in? I'm on the green nandroid screen

Its built into the core of the Android system as far as I know. its not an individual program .apk that can be installed or pushed.
I'm not so much concerned with the Launcher as the Lockscreen I really want that and maybe if it was clear that would be dope too but mainly just the 2.1 lockscreen

I don't know which one it is, but the GoogleBits v1.9 for AOSP has the lockscreen in there, don't know which apk it is, but it's in there, I pushed it on an vanillia aosp 2.1 that didn't have a lockscreen once i did, it showed up.
and look around for launcher2.apk which is the nexus one's "home"
sorry don't have time to find them both and link them, but they're in darch's thread somewhere. hopefully that points you guys in the right direction
EDIT: oh forgot, after you push the google bits, remove the htc one and it will revert to the google lockscreen, but only after you push the google one *this is important*
EDIT2: oh agian... do a nandroid backup first
I remember that now I did have that lockscreen when I used that rom but it lacked too many things I needed so I went back to Fresh 1. maybe Noj can chime in on this and lend a hand or does anyone else know how I can get that lockscreen
If its like the one from the Droid you could use lockbot pro

it's really only a issue if your using lwp with it, try the other launcher with lwp
is there a way we can get 5 home screens and use lwp? if you push and use launcher2.apk to the phone and use that for your homescreen, lwp screws up your phone. at the same time, using the regular launcher only gives 3 screens... =/
For root users with recovery img only.
Save zip to sdcard, reboot into recovery, and flash the zip from sdcard.
Enjoy.
OR
If you comfortable with a linux shell, you can mount the system partition as rw, and delete the htclockscreen app from /system/app (if you even think about asking me for help, just use the patch and save us both some wasted time). However feel free to email/msg/call at home at 1am Unheard for help, since he wanted to point out the command line procedure.

applying wallpaper to the nexus lock screen
hey fantastic patch by the way! thanks so much for the hard work. i do prefer the nexus lock screen however is the transparency the only option? i tried to apply the wall via menu/wallpaper/lockscreen...says wallpaper applied etc but doesnt show when the device is locked. is this a limitation of the initial root? would it be advisable to go to v3 of the 2.1 root? again fantastic work much appreciated...
v0.3.0 is advisable, wont fix your problem. Will look into it after I have a break from the phone for a bit.
One other bug ive seen with the wallpaper is that it does not allow you to shut off or snooze your alarm so I had to restart or appkill to get it to shut off

By using that nandroid backup you made, right before trying it?
Didn't make one? Probably have to reflash.
Im good backup didnt work at first because Im guessing the phones power was low. Right after I posted had put my wifes phone on the pc to charge and the nandroid back up went through.
I'm probably in the minority that actually enjoys the lock screen more than live wallpapers, but this patch is great. Other than a few small visual issues, this is perfect. I hated the Sense lock screen. Great work jcase!
installed it and love it only issue i have with it would be the alarm wont snooze...will you be working on that or is this just something we would have to work around? other than that its a great extra
The issue is in the HTC Alarm, and Sense. Use another alarm clock.

Thanks for this. Saves me on gas having to do this for his phone.

I love the Nexus lock screen it keeps me from pocket dialing. I wish I could set a lock screen background though.
I really like this lockscreen and it works great except if i put my phone into airplane mode. When it comes out of airplane mode, the lockscreen continues to say 'No Sim Card', display the 'emergency call' and no longer show the battery charge. Rebooting the phone fixes it. Perhaps the CDMA Nexus One lock screen will fix this problem.
i have found the stock froyo 3d lancher for sense roms , very smooth and the best , look at attatchements lancher .apk
bumbing for general benfit
Works great on DarkStone's HD2Froyo,
i've tried getting it from a Sense ROM but it wouldnt install, thanks!
EDIT: i've noticed with the widgets, it looks as if theres a live wallpaper (i have a static) set and takes away the quality of the widgets.

Put the .apk on your SDcard and use Astro or something simular to launch it.
Depending on the build you may also have to select in phone options to allow non marketplace apps to install.

Hmm, I can't get this to work on FroyoStone.
When I open the .apk file it tells me it's already installed, even though I don't have the 3D launcher, and it gives me the option to uninstall. I even tried uninstalling the old package, rebooting and reinstalling the file found here... everything looks the same.

Oh, really?
I thought this was the 3D launcher like you see in Nexus One. You know, the one where the bottom of the list fades away in a 3D manner.
The one on FroyoStone doesn't seem 3D at all, it's just a grid of icons on a black background.

deleting the file would give you trouble turning off your alarm. only a shutdown would turn off the alarm. do you have to do something else for this to be solved?

So i use an exchange 2003 server for all my email, contacts, and calendar but after flashing some of the new roms it seems my previous methods for disabling the lock no longer work.
I've tried lock picker, and even the instructions from keyguard controller on how to patch the Mail.apk but i still get the lock screen.
Does anybody know how to completely remove the lock screen? This is driving me nuts and i do not have access to the exchange 2003 server to change any settings.
Thanks for any help guys!
Ive had this problem and was driving me nuts. Today wanted buttons to be replaced, but they replaced the whole damn phone. Long story short after rooting.
I surpassed the exchange policy by this apk.
I did this.
adb push Mail.apk /system/app
Reboot...
Once done, i added exchange account, went through the whole setup.
After that i went back into the settings, security, device administrator- removed that, and went yes on all the warnings of it deleting. Then still on security screen, i turned off the screen lock/setup the pattern lock.
Hopefully this helps you out.
Oh and this was all thanks to this thread here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10266578&postcount=307
but since your using an evo, and this Mail.apk works for me, id figure it work for you.
What about "no lock" by BoD ? I include it in my ROM and haven't had a case were it didn't work. Although I don't know what ROM you are using.

Don't know what a velocity rom is, but sounds like you either uninstalled your launcher or it is corrupt. Are you rooted? That's the only way I know that you could have uninstalled it. Here's what you can do to recover regardless. Go to play market from your computer, sign in with your assosiated account to the device and find a home launcher you like. I've used launcher pro and go launcher ex on the flipside. Send your choice to your phone. Then when you unlock the phone, press the home key and you should be given the choice to use the new launcher. Should fix, but you'll have to do some customizing.
it was rooted however i dont think it is now because i tryed to do the master reset when it first happened. will this still work without being rooted?

Not without being able to access the home screen. If you can't remember the google account associated with the phone, sounds like only option is to reflash with the stock sbf. You will lose all data on the phone but not the sd card. The files needed are in the development section.
