Lock slider major issue !!!! grrrr

Guys my wife just got Hero and I got evo. She changed her wallpaper on unlock screen and now instead of slider whole screen (wallpaper) comes down when trying to unlock the phone. I tried system restore ( she has 2.1 android ) and still same thing - how can I get i back to just moving slider not the whole wallpaper ?
plz help

I think the whole wallpaper is supposed to slide down.

just a slider - thats how it was before and thats how it is with my evo too

Look... Not to be rude or anything, but is this really that big of a deal? When I was ever on a sense rom, the wallpaper ALWAYS slid down. It really is NOT a big deal.
/rant

not to be rude but if it wasnt a big deal to me I wouldnt even post my question here.
I tried hard resets and still no luck
what is strange that I cant downgrade to diff ruu version so maybe rom image got damaged when upgraded to 2.1

If you run an ruu you're not supposed to be able to downgrade, that's why it's a challenge to gain root on new os versions.
I have never seen a sense lockscreen that didn't slide the wallpaper down with the lockbar

so it was like that out of the box until she used picture that she took from the phone and set it as wallpaper then all change and we arent able to get back.
Now my evo is the same - when power on the screen I have a wallpaper and lock bar and then i slide it down only bar moves and the wallpaper just changes to home screen

Not to be rude, but I think you're mistaken. I think you may be confusing your Evo's lock screen with what you think you saw on your wife's Hero's lock screen.
I have had the Hero since launch day, and the lock screen has always slid the entire wallpaper down. I have probably run 40 different ROMs, and this has always been the case.
I just watched an EVO video so I could see how that lock screen behaves. I can guarantee you that I have never seen my phone do that, nor have I seen my two coworkers Heros do that.

Haha, this is funny.
First off... calm down. Oh no, the wallpaper is sliding down! Major issue!
This isn't a major issue. It's more of a personal preference. Posting "MAJOR ISSUE" makes it look like a big problem, then seeing that it is just something you don't like... very deceptive and you just did it to get more attention. Not cool.
Second off, it has ALWAYS slid down. Maybe on a different lock screen it had a different behavior, but the Hero lock-screen (including wallpaper) slides down. It has always been like that. It will always be like that.

lockscreen wallpaper

is it me or is there no way to have the lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper different like you could on the hero???

I was wondering the same thing......I dont think there is way to do it in the stock rom....

that sucks they a stupid move on htc part i hope i the devs can restore this issue in the custom roms

i dont mind it looks sleek

I don't mind it. It looks visually better this way (the lock slides... the screen stays in place). With the Hero, the entire lock/background moved.
I just installed "No Lock" from the market which disables the lock screen completely. It's great on the EVO, because now I can use the volume buttons to turn on my phone and not have to slide an unlock screen to access anything. That power button is sometimes tricky to reach with this massive size phone .

I believe thus was done for live wallpaper as they now work in lockscreen and password screen.
I like the feature

Since we're on the subject of lockscreens, is there anyway I can customize the lockscreen? It would be pretty nice if I could add widgets or something useful on there.

[Q] vanilla unlock screen ?

let's hope this is the correct place to post this
I got the international galaxy S and I really hated the Samsung unlock screen
is it possible to replace it with the vanilla stock one ? and how ?
I use launcher pro so I don't mind losing touchwiz anyway
I'm running on a rooted device
and thank you

I am very curious about this too.
Would really like to have the stock unlock screen that also has the 'silent mode' option when you swipe from right to left instead.

seems like either nobody knows or nobody cared to try it
there are programs to change the lock screen , but nothing is like the real thing

Truth to be told you have 2 options.
1. Use samsungs lock screen, it has missed call/sms/blah notifications on it, and also music player controls.
2. Use pattern lock, it's the same as stock then.

I am using samsung's lock screen now , so that's not an alternative option XD
but I'd like to have the stock one .. love it >.<
and pattern lock .. it's awful trying to unlock it while driving [tried it XD]

as far as i know, widgetlocker lets you unlock your screen with vanilla sliders!

It has other features like widgets on your lock screen, sounds like a promising app, you should try it out and see if it fits your needs!

widget locker is great. try it

I tried it , but what bothered me is that you can't lift the unlock slider upward (the real one is kinda higher) and what was more annoying is you can edit the widgets from the lock screen , meaning you just by mistake keep on holding a widget and it moves
again , here I don't just want the look , I actually wanted to see if it's possible to change the apk , switch it from the touchwiz to the real stock apk file (if it exists)

You can switch from the Widget Locker unlock slider to the standard Android one in the settings, but you lose a line of widget/shortcut space. You can also make the unlock slider the Sense or iPhone one if that's your thing. You can also disable editing widgets while locked.
Widget Locker is worth the purchase really, it's cheap and does what you want.

Custom lock screen solution

I dont know if this has already been discovered by others but i found a solution to an issue i was having. I have always wanted to use a custom lockscreen but every one i would try to use, the factory lock screen would show up for a bit first and then the new one would show up, which just irritates me.
I found that if you download and install no lock from the market, it will block the factory lock screen but the aftermarket one will still work!
A small thing but it solved one of my nitpicks and allowed me to finally customize my lockscreen.
If you dont have one yet i recommend wp7 lock, pretty clean in my opinion

widgetlocker has this built in...

+1 widgetlocker
I hate sliding left to right so I switched to the Sense lock and now I can swipe down.

hmm odd, last time i used widgetlocker i still had the stock lockscreen popping up right before or during the widgetlocker lockscreen. When did they add this feature? Still its helpful for me because i dont particuarly like widgetlocker, i like the more simplistic approach.

Widgetlocker works just fine with my Droid X. I never see the stock screen. Only issue is the stock lock screen is no longer smooth (sometimes have to swipe 2 or 3 times) with GB update so it also effects widgetlocker.

[Q] Custom Lock Screen

Does anyone know if its possible to get a custom lock screen that will show the full content of a notification, instead of just a part of it? like when a message is received instead of the first few words, it would display the whole message.. or is it possible to mod the default Samsung lock screen to show more in its preview?
