How to remove default Slide Lock Screen?

Hey guys,
I recently downloaded an app called LockBot Pro. Which allows me to customize my own Lock Screen Slide, backgrounds and Unlocking sounds. My customize Lock Screen is running fine but I can't seem to get rid of the default Lock Screen. Like I'd have to unlock the default lock screen and then the other.. which is pretty annoying to be unlocking both. Especially when I'm in a hurry. Is there a way around this? I've tried deleting the HtcLockScreen.apk from the system but the default Lock Screen still stays.
I'm currently using;
HTC HD2
Chucky ROM
Matt Froyo 1.5
2.12 radio
Help me out yeah?
Thanks!

Hope you haven't wasted your money. Found out today that pressing <- and Windows key you can unlock Android in seconds with no lock screen required. I know, it happened in my trouser pocket!

Yeah...I purchased this app a long time ago on my MT3G and when it first came out it worked great...then the dev kept updating it and made it into a complete mess.
If you are still in your refund period, I would go that route.
I tried using it on the HD2 because I do not like the fact that I keep unlocking it in my pocket when hitting the windows key...and unfortunately, lockbot pro has become garbage.

Hitting any physical button followed by the windows key unlocks the phone...if anyone knows how to disable this, that would be great.

Must be the build of Android I'm using. I'm in too deep now to try another one! Thanks for the Avatar comment. LOVE Chopper. He's become a bit of a cult hit for me. Don't think many non-ozzie Brits know about him.

[Q] homekey setup on D2?

OK so I just got my D2 last week, and I have to admit its kind of a grows on ya thing. I also have an hd2 as my personal phone so im spoiled with the giant screen. D2 is much more responsive then my hd2 and dont get me started windows lame OS.
BUT....
Why is there no built in "home" key? when Im browsing there doesn't seem to be any way to get back to the desktop of my phone with out hitting the return button and exiting all applications.
Very annoying. And the whole bajillion apps running that can't be shut off. I bought an app that "freezes" them, so far so good. Why do I have to buy an app to open the cmd prompt?
and the searchsoft key. wtf nothing happens.
IS there any way I can hack and re-assign my keys to different functions?
I would like the search key (magnifying glass) to bring up google search any time i hit it, and my home key to always go back to the homescreen.
is this just me being a noob and cant git' r' done or is this a D2/android thing? THis is only my first week with the android operating system, I realy love it, really makes WM look like a pos. yeah and windows 7? it just ads more ghey to the old wm. stil sucks.
Any help would be nice thanks!

Are you using the stock ROM and launcher? or do you use launcher pro or ADW?
the home key should already be assigned to go back to the desktop as far as I know.

Hi yes I still have stock rom. Also my lockscreen doesn't work and when I push the keylock\power button it doesn't fully lock the screen as if I push the volume button the screen turns on. So im not sure what's up. Homekey as I said doesn't work anymore as well.isn't there someway to hack the phone to re assign keypad softkey function? Also none of these keys work on th KB as well. I still havnt upgraded to 2.3 yet. Seems like a hassle to unroot delete every thing and start over. Yes I have clockwork also TI backup pro
Any suggestions would be great

I don't use the stock launcher anymore. ADW and from what I hear LauncherPro both have preferences that change the home key assignment. I would upgrade to 2.3.20 though it's not a big of a hassle as you would think. I've sbf'd my phone twice and factory reseted everytime I upgrade a ROM. It doesn't take that long as long as you know what you are doing and you have backed up what you need. Google will remember your contacts and apps and settings if you tell it to. The only thing I have to setup are my non gmail email and a few apps that I have login info for. You don't have to unroot. You can just flash the new sbf and then re-root and you'll be updated (always flash with a full or near full battery) and I wouldn't be surprised if it fixed the problem. I've never heard of the soft key's not working on the stock ROM. They worked when I used it before we even had root.
The only way I can get my phone to wake with the volume button is to use "no lock" to turn of the lock screen. But if the lock screen is in place the only way to wake the phone is to press power and then use the sliders.

Sleep button broken, and i want a Sense build. Please Help

I have a nexus one with a broken sleep button, ive managed so far with it since Cyanogenmod had trackball Wake, but im getting real tired of it now, and i want a sense build. Is there someway i could enable trackball wake in sense? ive tried looking but found nothing. Thanks!!!

Check out No Lock or Widgetlocker in the market.

Or use a froyo sense build.

[q] mt4g roms without trackpad wake

Ok I've been searching for this like a crazy person but haven't found any really useful information about this.
I have a MT4G which doesn't work well with trackpad wake, so I would like to know if there are more roms out there that do NOT have the trackpad wake feature enabled.
I know that cm7 has an option to disable it and also I have a sense rom that was patched to disable this feature... but switching between just 2 roms is a little bit limitating... so... does anybody know about some other roms that do NOT wake the phone using the trackpad? only the power button? maybe ported roms from other devices that do not have trackpads? anyone?
Thanks for reading this and I really hope you can help me find more roms

If trackpad wake doesn't work for you, don't use it.

DARKSIDE Sense v3.3 (Sense 3.5) was really solid and didn't come with trackpad wake, if I recall. Had menu and back wake, I think. Power wake too, of course.They all have that. Even Roms with trackpad wake can be woken up with power button.

Virtuous Affinity 2.05 has a setting to disable track pad wake. It is a VERY nice ROM. Very few problems. You do have to install the Amaze Camera (or any one of your choice) if you want the FFC to not be upside down.

zips creamed glacier doesn't have trackpad wake...I wish it did though

Agreed. But if your looking for no track pad wake I reccomend this I have been using this as my daily driver .

As I learned in another thead, i believe you can wake it using the home button, almost as good as using trackpad. I think this works for IceColdSandwich and zips creamed glacier.

Button remapper
Appelflap has a way to fix this! Read this post:

Good Luck!

We can use Button remapper.But there is NO trackpad key to remap in Zip's rom

In case you're looking for a newer ROM, Toasted Marshmallow runs JB and has no track pad wake.

Man if he's still looking then I feel sorry for him

Keyboard on the lock screen

Hey guys, just wondering if it's possible to change the keyboard used on the lock screen? I use Go Keyboard but the lock screen is the default. On my last phone (the HTC One X), the lock screen used the same keyboard (although that could've just had to do with running a custom rom). I looked through the Go Keyboard settings and couldn't find anything.

I would say that's a bug not a feature...
I am stock rom and the keyboard is everywhere the same.in my case swype.
The only time it was changing for me it was when I greenified the keyboard...

Thats weird. Like I said, it worked on my last phone fine.
