Change sense lockscreen with original lock

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?

+1....been wanting this for awhile now but still havent found anything

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

Android unlock-screen on Galaxy S

Is there any possibility to make this happen? i don't like the stock pattern-unlocker.

and this:

Nah, that's too much iPhoney

Ah great, Lockbot Pro does the job perfectly!

I use widget locker - not only does it have android/sense style lock it also lets you add widgets to the lockscreen

This is nice. Thank you for the info.
Tried the free version. It is thousand times better than the stock in SGS. Looks right, feel right, sounds right!
Edit: noticed that a soft reset disable it and I need to rerun lock 2.0. Is this the same for the paid version?

how hard would it be to make a update.zip to change the lock screen? and would it be possible to make an eclair like lockscreen with the touchwiz 3 music widget?
THAT be awsome

Thanks for this, loving my new widget locker.

It seems that Lock 2.0 is sometimes "killed" by the OS, and that means the lock that screen reverts back to stock. Is there a way to prevent that from being undone?

Sorry for just pushing this up, but im still looking for the stock lockscreen, maybe someone has found a way to use it already

Possible to change lockscreen background?

Hi there,
Is it possible to just change the lockscreen background but leave the rest of the lockscreen the same?
I know that there are several applications which will provide an alternate lockscreen but I would much rather keep the original if possible.
Cheers.

I'd like to know this too. Even my HTC Tattoo could have separate wallpaper and lockscreen backgrounds. Why not on the desire?

At a guess it's something to do with the live wallpapers.

search the market for WidgetLocker.
Sent from my HTC Desire

lockbot is a good alternative, you get several styles of lock screen and all are customizable

Just installed Lockbot Free to check it out, not very impressed to be honest, the original lock screen appears for a couple of seconds before the Lockbot one which ruins the whole appearence.
Have I done something wrong or is this just how it is?
EDIT
OK, bought & installed WidgetLocker which seems much better. There is still a delay if you lock the phone & then turn the screen back on straight away where it shows the original lock screen but it is negligable. I haven't experimented with all the options yet but it seems pretty comprehensive.

just noticed the wildfire has the option to change lockscreen

[Q] It's posible to use old sense 2.x htc.lockscreen in sense 3 or above?

Hi, I'm tired of lockscreen ring in sense 3 or above. Always unlock my screen while try to pull up my phone from my pocket, so I prefer the old locksreen of sense 2.x
I know that it's dificult to choose many 2.x sense roms, sprecially if you prefer the other advantages of gingerbread roms, main screen launcher for example.
As I saw in that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171674, I'll like to find any trick to install 2.x lockscreen in any sense 3.x rom
Of course, I tried to rename htc.lockscreen and use original lockscreen from Android, but I don't like it, I prefer sense 2.x lockscreen.
I will apreciate any suggestion.

Try to find an app called "WidgetLocker Lockscreen" that allows you to make/choose your own lockscreen! I think i helped!

Many thanks for your reply, but is not a problem to lock the screen, the problem is "unlock" the screen.
Sense 3.x ring lockscreen is so easy to accidentally unlock itself, inside my pocket, and then, random app could be launched. It's very very annoying for me.
Sense 2.x lockscreen is much difficult to auto unlock inside my pocket.
I don't understand why not many other people have the same problem.

Lock/Unlock screen are the same thing, just said differently. The app he mentioned should be what you are looking for as long as it replaces the HTC lockscreen with one of your choosing

Nah the app he recommended is correct, WidgetLocker has every type of lock screen you could want, but unfortunately you will have to pay for it (or will you? ) and this includes Sense 2.1 lock screen and sliders, ICS, rotary wheels etc. You can also add widgets to the lock screen (hence the name) which will give you the ability to have a music widget and weather widget etc. on your lock screen.
Also, try not to leave your phone in your trouser pockets and instead use your jacket pocket or something similar, where the phone won't unlock itself (e.g. when you're sitting down) and maybe set up a pin/password.

Hi, my HD2 was unable to download these app from market. I don't know the reason. I had to download from my Desire HD and test it directly on it. I have Sense 3.0 rom. It works fine, it can use htc.lockscreen 2.x style instead of original sense 3.0
Thank you for your help. Finally, I can use my pocket to keep the phone locked using sense 3.x rom.

After the first week or so with lockscreen widgets on other phones, I found them useless. They were limited in information and functionality... and honestly, my muscle memory was to pickup my phone and unlock it. Then if they magnified to the full screen, the area to swipe to unlock got small... I just think for me, they were a waste. Once I am 2 or 3 swipes, or touches in, I can unlock it just as fast.

I hope someone figures out how to add them back. I have an ICE app that I need to have a lock screen widget for.

I always used the message g widget, always quicker than unlocking and going into the messaging app, I also used the app shortcut widget that u swipes to the right for, especially after getting spoiled using cover lockscreen, which I uninstalled due to too many bugs

The same for me. Please, help us!
I know that with root, I can use Xposed framework and download galaxy s5 widget to do it... but what about Note4 without root ?
(P.S. I'm sorry for my English...)

Ice contact lock screen
You can add your ICE contact (phone number etc.) to lockscreen by writing it in to the "owner information" -field, which can be found under lockscreen settings. No need for ICE-app.
