Is there anyway to change the unlock screen/control. I really like the Droid unlock patter screen. Is there anyway I could get this on my MT4G without flashing a custom rom? I already have it rooted BTW.

Sounds like there is a whole bunch of issues with this.
I really hate the swipe down stock unlock. Half the time I have to do it twice or three times to get it to unlock. I have only had the phone for a few days so maybe I'll just get use to it.
There's an app called Lockbot

Do either of those get rid of the default lock or do they just add another lock screen after you unlock the default one?
Widget locker replaces your lock screen with a slide to unlock, and if you prefer you can add other things that you can slide to open and use right from the lockscreen.
thanks i will try it too

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!

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.

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.

is the search button broke ?
nope they say to download the app from the market to remove it and when you do that no lock screen will work!
from all the threads I have seen I don't think its possible you can change it all together to a diff. one but not only keep the pattern one sorry

Are you just looking to get rid if the Sense unlock? Or trying to get rid of the pattern unlock?
I'm using widget locker to get rid of the standard Sense lock screen. I'm sure there are hundreds of different posts on what people use.

Widget locker is the way to go, you can change to the stock android or iphone style.

I have seen some pic of the HTC lock screen have unlock and silence option..

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
I am sick of looking around and searching so I am sorry if this has been discussed, I have tried using widgetlocker but cant seem to find where to setup a pattern lock, any ideas, all I would like to do is change the lock screen wallpaper but still have my pattern lock. Thanks in advance.
ps. I am rooted running CM7-EX
I haven't seen that option un any apps or roms beside miui

any devs out there that know how or are maybe interested in a way... I would be willing to donate for something like that and I am sure others would too....
MikFroyo 4.4 has it if you flash the rotary lockscreen mod. I'm using it right now. He adds an app to set up patterns or gestures, then you can disable the slide lock, and have an only gesture lockscreen.

I assume that is not something I can flash over my CM rom? Let me know if that is not the case, but thanks, this is on the right track.
I was curious if there was anyway to use a lockscreen other than the ones provided with CM7 (which is what I'm currently using). And where would I go about finding them?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
There are but first learn to post in the general area if you have a question.
There is widget locker in the market as well as extracting the framework-res.apk and chamging lockscreen images and make a flashable zip.
Signatures are fancy.
Check out the WidgetLocker app. Its really awesome and well worth the price. When you buy it you will then be able to customize it and make the lockscreen change with themes other have made.
Heres a thread with some of the widgetlocker themes people are creating

Ill give it a look. Thanks for the quick reply.

Whenever I used widgetlocker, my cm7 lockscreen and the widgetlocker lockscreen would always interfere with each other...how did you get around that?
works ok for me, running CM7(RC2)
agree with others, Widget Locker is the best... and only $2

Thats why I stopped using it. Would get a hesitation using widget locker as it doesnt actually replace the stock lockscreen. It just seems to overlay it. What it appeared to be to me was that widget locker, being an app, had to load. So if it dropped out of Memory the phone had to reload it and it caused this stutter/hesitation between it and the actual lockscreen. Not that big a deal, but it gave the appearance that the phone was glitchy which I didnt like (i do everything i can to make the phone super smooth, no sense in installing an app that counters that, no matter how slight).
Now I just go with no sliders and use a gesture to unlock the phone and have another gesture to toggle sound. Super clean and confusing to whoever picks up the phone trying to be sneaky.
