How do I go about doing this... my wildfire is already root'd with the puzzle ROM... but I want to get rid of the default lock screen for good...
Any help would be appreciated.

Just delete Rosie.apk from /system/app/ and restart phone.

That won't remove the lockscreen, it will remove the Sense launcher.
You could remove HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app, but you'd be left without a lockscreen as there are no others on the phone. Try lockscreen replacement apps on the market
yea,got that, but what seems to happen is the default lockscreen is shown first before the replacement pops up.
Im borrowing your topic a little;
The Lock 2.0 app on the market does not support our screen, right?
I have widget locker but the problem is if I wake it up quickly after it has gone to sleep (and sometime even if I leave it a while) it shows the home and the default lock screen before the wigetlocker lock screen.
sorry noob question, pls teach me how to delete the file in system/apk?
am already flash with wildpuzzle, want to remove original lock screen but can't understand the tuto i found in website. can delete thru this phone or delete from computer?

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?

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.
Xda app

I have seen some pic of the HTC lock screen have unlock and silence option..
like the picture below..
is this only work on root phone? or can download from market or install by ourself??
That is standard Froyo lockscreen.
You can try to put it with lockscreen replacement apps (like lockbot)

Correction, that is standard Android's lockscreen. The swiping up/down lockscreen is Sense.

ahh ok thx so i can just go and download lockbot to replace that?? no need to root or anything?
Yes, no need for root access, just install them like a normal app.
Some other lockscreen replacements are lock 2.0 or Simply lockscreen
Bear in mind that it doesn't actually replace your lockscreen. It just gets in the lockscreens' way. It's very clever, and worth a look into. Just bear in mind that it doesn't always work
Hi guys im new to the forum and, i dont know much around. Could you guys tell me how i could change the lock screen to standard 2.2 Froyo lock screen? I dont want to use the Sense lock screen and i have already tried out lockbot which fails to work miserably.
Thnx Guys ^^
Damn thanks button..., try widget locker, you can also mod it as well if you want to.
Thnx for replying but unfortunately i cant pay for it. Is there anything for free except widget locker and lockbot free?

I'm sure you'll be able to find it on google or on the internet somewhere , and lockbot is crap imo.
Also the widgetlocker website allows you to pay for it via paypal. http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker
I've got default android lock screen by using wildpuzzle + remove htc widgets package.
Just wondering weather to use widget locker or try and mod this one.
Kevin, do you think widget locker will work better without the htc lockscreen?
i shyed away from it in the past because it would show up when screen was locked and unlocked within the 5secs...
Yes it works perfect with the stock android lockscreen, it never shows up after i unlock widget locker.
Just don't forget to enable 5 second root rule just in case.

A lot of thnx for the link and I really appreciate the replies, just one more thing how can i install app to my phone from the computer?
first go to settings -> applications and enable uknown sources....then copy the app to your sd card ...when you do all that use any file manager and go to your sd card and find the app you want to install...then just click on it
use the market app to download a file manager if you dont have one jet
sorry for my english
I've tried the widget locker app, but after the unlocking, annoying animation of flying squares in shades of gray appears. is that normal? how to disable it?
Realy stupid, isn't it I was wondering myself what the hell that was, and when it was raining a saw a very crapy animation of droplets falling on my screen. So the square thing is a weather animation - i think it's supose to tell you that it is cloudy outside
Just look in the setting, you will find an option somewhere where you can choose to show the animation at every screen, show it just when unlocking the home screen or disable it.
Erwin
Why you dont use WidgetLocker Lockscreen v1.2.8.1 ...you can find it on web for free and if you dont I send it to you!
oh so that was the weather animation...thought it was a bug, thnx!

Edit: sorry didnt see the solution from ErwinP
I do not have it rooted, nor do I have a 3rd party launched on there, I downloaded a text widget app which I believe may have something to do with why its doin this because it only started doing it when I tried to apply the widget to one of my screens, I have also tried to turn of off and then it back on but no luck.
Can anyone tell me there is a wah to access the apps and they to delete it by pluging it in and doing it that way? Would really hate to have to recover to a previous version
I don't quite understand what is going on. Does your launcher force close only when you try to put the widget on the screen, or does it force close on booting now?
If it is just when you put the widget on the screen, then there is something wrong with that widget and you can just uninstall it.
Sorry,no it does it now even when I boot

What app or widget?
I think it was literally called text widget, it was 4 stars and had over 10,000 dls so I didn't think anything about t I guess
this is the app I dl'd
https://market.android.com/details?...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50VGV4dCJd
well I was able to get it fixed by just spamming the settings button and was able to get to the applications and manually un-install it
Hi guys,
I had been scouring the internet looking for how to setup the stock lock screen on the ZF2 because I hated those 3 bubbles for camera, phone and messaging on the front screen and had no success.
Turns out there is a simple box you have to uncheck to get the stock lock screen working
Go to Settings>Lock screen> and uncheck "Quick access"
I feel really dumb because its been bothering me for more than a month now but I hope this helps anyone else who has this issue!
You can also change the apps that get accessed by clicking on "Quick access" instead of clicking the "on/off" switch.
so is it necessary to make a thread about this easy setting?
you can easily find all tips and tricks about zenfone 2 on YouTube, you can find many videos named "things you need to know after buying asus zenfone 2"., you can find many useful tips and tricks in this forum as well...
Freezing the ASUS weather app makes it even more like stock too. Shame you can't center the clock on the slide lockscreen.
With weather app frozen:
Edit: Actually, after rebooting this removes the clock from the lockscreen completely.
you can also delete "lockscreen" from /system/app. This will give you the real aosp lock screen

I tried to delete it but get "permission denied". If I freeze the ASUS lockscreen system app, I still get the same lockscreen anyway.

Fitst of all you need to be rooted, secondly you need to use a file manager like root explorer or root browser to mount rw, but freezing will result in the same thing anyway

I'm trying to freeze it, but I can't find it in Titanium Backup. Is there another app I can use to freeze it, or is it called something weird?

How does the AOSP lockscreen look? I did this on my old phone once, the lockscreen ended up not being worth it. (Buggy/frequent crashes when inputting PIN)

So I froze that, but my lockscreen didn't change, even after a reboot. I was hoping the lockscreen would be AOSP so that I can set 5 or 6 app shortcuts in there (via GravityBox). What am I doing wrong? Do I need to go into the file system and delete stuff?
With the ASUS lockscreen app frozen I get no change whatsoever in the appearance of the lockscreen (still has the off-centre ASUS Clock/Weather widget and swipe to unlock). With the weather app frozen I get a blank lockscreen with swipe to unlock.
i tried different lockscreens from playstore.for me hi locker is the best
Use hi locker its far better lockscreen than native lollipop or zen ui 's

How do you remove default lock screen? There's no none option only swipe.
EDIT: Never mind, just had to remove guest user.
