Froyo lock screen - Notifications - myTouch 3G, Magic General

hey everybody, quick question:
coming from htc sense roms I'm used to the screen lock showing missed calls and sms. so there is no need to unlock the phone to see if I missed anything.
with the froyo roms I don't have any notifications on the lock screen, so I actually have to unlock the phone each time I want to check if I missed something. is this how froyo lock screens work? or is there an easy way to have the missed calls/sms on the lock screen?
thx,
vercetti.

Purchase Widget Locker from market

the notification bar still shows up on the lock screen. Just look at the little icon's to see if you missed anything.

great, thanx!

Change sense lockscreen with original lock

Hello,
I tried to search but couldn't find any answer.
Is it possible to disable sense's lockscreen (and keep sense launcher...) and enable Android's default lockscreen (Eclair) without any additional app?
Thanks
Hi
Just remove lockscreen.apk in system/app
Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I think your talking about htclockscreen.apk, as I don't have any file named lockscreen.apk, but I'm not able to delete it without rooting the phone
Is there really no way to have android STOCK lock screen
Hi
You're right it's htclockscreen.apk. Sorry for my mistake.
Then i don't know if it's possible without root?
+1....been wanting this for awhile now but still havent found anything

You'll need to root or, if you have a higher powered device, install lockbot from the market. It replaces your lockscreen and it has eclair, eclair-2.0.1+, iPhone, and Sense lockscreens. The Pro version has a few more.
Actually this is not enough, i'v removed this .apk but when call is received the lockscreen is still sense - you must slide down
tried on HTC Desire Pays rom 2.1 based
We need a solution here...
All lockscreen apps don't work as they should, as the lock is disabled (htc legend) when the home or menu key is pressed.
The problem of default lock screen is that because of the slide down (instead of lateral slide), the lock screen is often disabled when the phone is in my jeans pockets and then it does unwanted calls...
Hi
you can lock the screen with the unlock pattern under security settings.

Yes that what I'm actually doing, but still... it's annoying to put the pattern at each unlock
I sent a msg to htc costumer service to see if they have a solution.
Hi.
Anyone has found a solution yet?
I tried LockBot Pro, but it's buggy and slow as hell.
Is there any lockscreen for 1.6 that would also have the support of Sense music widget?
Hi, found this topic when searching for "Caller ID lock screen"... and see that it seems to get no solution.
WIth HTC Desire HD, the problem remains: the caller ID lock screen can't be changed for a horizontal one. It will be usefull to avoid that my pocket automatically answered a call when I pull the phone out before seeing who is calling...
I still dig for this kind of "S2U2 Caller ID" (horizontal slide to unlock instead of default Sense vertical which is too sensitive when phone is in my pocket).
If someone gets ideas?...
Thanks
Why do you need a lockscreen at all? Can't you just turn the screen on/off?
Yes you can there is a thread on this, search for vanilla lockscreen on the desire topics.

Looking for lockscreen replacement!

Hi,
I'm looking for some good lock screen replacements.
Time of day, email/sms count, battery power, weather? would all be nice to have on a lock screen.
Prefer free but I'm willing to shell out a couple bucks if there aren't any free options.
Thanks!
- GOTO Lockscreen
- Widget Locker
Anyone know of any flashable lockscreens? Not apps. As I'm also quite bored of the drag down unlcoker.
widgetlocker is worth the money! couple of different unlocking styles + add any widget that you want... love it!
cheers

Agreed. Just bought WidgetLocker and it's well worth the two bucks.
Try lock 2.0 its pretty good... has a stupid iPhone lockscreen so you can tell your friends you have iOS
Does any of those programs replace HTCs answer/reject call screen? I usually reject the call when the phone is in my pocket.

Nope. No app from the market would be able to do that. You'd have to change rom for that. But even then its either sense down slide or vanilla across slide.
Widget locker has an option to hide the popup till you unlock. I haven't tested it but its there.

Is there anyway to get that "vanilla across slide" for sense rom. Atleast HTClocksreen.apk deletion doesn't work.

Nope, not unless a dev has removed ALL of the sense lockscreen, which most dont, and replace with the vanilla.
However, I think someone posted on here about adb pushing the vanilla lockscreen (rotary or slide) to sense roms. Not sure if it replaces the call slider but might be worth a try.

Thanks for the info.
Widgetlocker has gives you rotary locksreen among others but it doesn't affect on call slider
With widget locker is there a way to prevent the default lock screen from popping up first?
I purchased it last night but the delay where the default lock screen shows up first is pretty disappointing.

Thats what I was saying. No apps will change the call slider. Hence why I said to try the adb push method.
Search the forum for the adb push vanilla/rotary lockscreen as that might change the call slider.

You can do this, but u need to use the default phone.apk.
there was a fix on the forum here but i forgot where it had slide to answer option even.

Have you put it as default for home button etc?
Mine works like it should be and I see it only for second very rarely.

LockBot

I've just installed LockBot and have set the theme I like..
Looks good - BUT !!!
When a calls comes in the Desire reverts back to the default lock, ie: slide down to answer... This is what I was hoping to get away from.
How do I get LockBot to work as a Lock and slide for answering ?
Thanks
It's just a substitute lock. It can't be used as a call slider...
Ahh.. are there any call sliders available ?
Thanks
Not from the market.
The call slider is part of your rom (ie AOSP slide left and right or Sense up and down) and cannot be changed by a market app

I use widget locker , this replaces the" slide down " thing .. fab ... as I can now have a calender etc on the lock screen...
WL cost a few quid
Hi
Will widget locker give me the froyo style lock/sound icons ?
Will it stay locked on an incoming call, showing who is calling before I unlock it ?
Thanks

If you want .. there are loads of icons out there for this app ... as it's a paid for .. it's has loads of add ons.

Yes ... the default incoming call starts... but the screen is still locked.
Thanks.
when a call comes in and the screen is locked, I presume this uses the default slider to unlock.
Any 'easy' way to change this to the froyo style unlocker ??
Thanks

You can change the icons for the sliders, but it will still be the same slide actions.
Sent from my GT-P1000
so it will always be slide down to answer ?
Not slide across ?
Yes. You'd have to edit some lines of code in the Dialer.apk (or whatever it's called). But even if you delete the HtcLockScreen.apk, so that you get the real Froyo Lock (not just a replacement) the default Sense Answering-Lockscreen will be there when a call comes in.

Bumping this one ... Anyone knows how to get a clean unlock screen like S3 for example ?
Are we all on the same page here.... sometimes the lock screen will go haywire and show some mini applications, or boxes that have edit options? Like adding stuff to the lock screen when you didn't ask for it... ? Anyway to turn it off.... Might have to buy a custom locker
I dont have any widgets/apps on the lockscreen, but its kind of annoying when the clock expands and makes it hard to unlock the phone....
I guess we got too used to the "slide from anywhere to unlock" feature. Just slide at the very bottom and youre golden every time

If you slide downward from the clock widget or any other screen widget, this feature allows you to edit the current widget, add a new one, or replace.

[Q] Lock Screen Notification

Hi,
Just wondering is there anyway, to setup the lock screen widget to show the screen on which alert is popped up? for example your homescreen is the one with the clock on (usually) and when a text is received on native sms app it will jump to the text screen automatically?
wondering if we could do the same thing with NiLs notification?
Thanks :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
So no one is capable enough here to answer this Hmmm
