I know this has been briefly covered elsewhere, but wanted to ask in case any new developments have been made.
I'm running the prj Clean Desire NAND but am sick of the Sense lockscreen. I know I can remove the HTClockscreen.apk file, but it then it apparently kills interaction between my alarms (ability to turn off from lock screen) and also answering calls from lock screen.
Is there any way of just changing the Sense lock screen to a stock "swipe left/right" style, with perhaps icons to show number of missed calls/emails/sms but not actually content of them (sense showing half an unread sms annoys me too).
i guess im sort of after how cookies lock screen was on the windows roms.
I googlesearched everywhere, and I got the same information as you.
Maybe the solution is to disable sense's sliding lock with a little app and to enable the "drawing" unlock. I'm going to try this.

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.
so, got my sprint tp2 running 6.5. i disabled sense and tf3d bc i want the simplicity of using the Easy Today Launcher (places whatever shortcuts I want on the today screen with no other fancy things going on).
in keeping with the simple theme, also installed Daniel Herieira? (sp) LockDevice (a simple lock slider which creates a clean screen with my wallpaper, the lock slider and a digital clock with the date).
since she boots at about 110 ram..before leaking down thru the day, Id like to NOT install any of the home screen custom ROM's that i believe all require to have the memory hog sense enabled.
all i want is a simple analog clock that i can either enable as a plug in in various skins/locations for my Today screen, or better yet, to replace the digital clock on my lock screen. looked everywhere, cant figure it out. does anyone have any suggestions?? am i posting in the wrong place? thanks in advance
Probably the best place to ask this, am using the latest stable insertcoin release for desire, sense 3 lockscreen is part of this. Having some issues though
1. Selecting to "pick up" or "reject" incoming calls from the sense 3 lockscreen is hard due to the "ring" area which you can drag the icons to, being tiny. Possible to change this at all, perhaps via custom lockscreens or such?
2. After picking up, if the phone has locked itself to require a pin or whatever before accessing, it is impossible to hang up a call until you input said pin. I don't think this was normal behaviour for the lockscreen before on the stock sense for desire, is it possible to change so I can hang up before putting in a pin etc?
3. If lockscreen customisations of this nature are not possible, are there any replacement lockscreens available which will alleviate these issues?
+1 for this as would also really like to know. It has been asked on IC threads also but noone ever answered.
I posted this over in the general GS4 Q&A forum in the relevant thread, but I haven't gotten a response. I figured I'd ask here in a new post in the hopes that someone will read it. This is a copy and paste job, which is why the beginning and the edit seem out of context:
Hey guys. I am an N4 user, but I just bought my girlfriend a GS4. She's discovered a problem that I can't find an answer to.
Is there a way to have text messages preview ONLY in the status bar and notifications? It is very useful to have the preview of the message in the status bar and expanded notifications. However, it seems that the only way to enable this is to simultaneously enable the preview on the lock screen. Even with a secure lock screen, the preview of the message is still there. It seems odd for the control for two completely severable features to be bundled together in this manner. This creates a completely unnecessary compromise between convenience and security. Not to mention that even with the preview option turned off, a message identifying the sender still shows up on even a secure lock screen. I am thinking that I must be missing something in the widgets options, and I can remove this text "widget" (which is exactly what it is in practice) completely from the lock screen without sacrificing the convenience of previewing the message through the status bar and expanded notifications.
So, any advice? I'm guessing switching to a third-party messaging app might work, but I (and she) heavily prefer the stock messaging apps. I am looking to avoid this and simply find a solution while still allowing for the stock messaging app. I am going to try Lockscreen Policy in a few, and I'll report back on that. The idea came to me while typing this up.
EDIT: Looks like Lockscreen Policy did the trick. The message still previews in the status bar on the lock screen, but the text message widget that was the major problem is now gone. Unfortunately this trick prevents access to all other lock screen widgets.
I'm on rooted i9500 at the moment, stock android 4.2.2
Looking for a way to completely remove anything on the lock screen (make it transparent), aside the top status bar.
Lock screen can be in 2 modes at the moment. The first one, is with only once widget, and the other is with multiple widgets. And it would be perfectly fine with the single widget lockscreen, if only when I remove the clock widget (or "life partner") widget it didn't come back the next time the screen is locked.
I found a way to make it "kinda" work with multiple widgets, and the blank lockscreen widget:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordpress.chislonchow.blanklockwidget&hl=en
It's ALMOST perfect, as it still has this f**** annoying plus sign on the side, and the top of the lock screen has this animation effect when I slide it. If I removed those 2 things, my lock screen would be perfect for me as I envisioned it in my head.
Any help (again, just a reminder, I am rooted, also have xposed framwework installed).

My last try I guess, or else I risk of getting a warning from a moderator
Anybody?
