Im using CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD(2) NAND ROM but the stock sense lock screen does now work well for me. It will unlock the phone and do all kinds of stuff in my pocket, the other day it even made a gibberish comment on my friends facebook page about his brothers death while it was in my pocket! I dont want to enter a password or pattern i just want a more traditional swipe left or right unlocked.
I tried simply lockscreen and lockbot free but the sense full screen weather animation no longer works and i would like it to.
I don't mind paying a couple bucks for something like widget locker but will the sense animations work with it? If not are there any aftermarket lock screens that it will work with?

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.

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
I am not a big fan of the stock swipe lock screen on the phone. Is there a way to disable it or replace it with something else other than the pattern lock thingy?
Mods: Not sure if this should be in themes, if so please move.
Thanks.
I think I heard about other users on the forum using a app named NoLock to get rid of the lock screen.
Any of the lockscreen apps on the Market should replace the stock one for you. Try LockBot, Widget Locker (real nice and customizable), Lock2.0 (think that's what it was).
I'm with the OP. I don't find the TW lock screen as useful or as good looking as the stock 2.1 / 2.2 lock screen. Is there a way we can port the stock android lock screen to the Vibrant? I've looked through the phone and I haven't found any files that blatantly say "hey, this is the lock screen" to me. Is this possible?
check this one out its got a clip so u know what its like before u buy it or "buy" its lol

Yep, WidgetLocker would be your best bet for a 2.1 look. I've used it and it actually is really nice and customizable.
This may be a dump question since the creation of live wallpapers but is it possible to have like maybe a screensaver instead of a lockscreen
Howzit guys,
Wanting to know - is there anyway to change to a different (Not a sliding one) type of lock screen? Just find it annoying at times
If so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks!
Don;'t know if you are looking for an app or a actual rom mod.
There are plenty of lockscreen replace apps on the market, such as Lockbot (I use pro on OD)
which can give you customisable hero, flan, eclair and froyo lock screens, and can upgrade to pro to use X10 and Galaxy lockscreens.
There are plenty more, but this is the one I use.
So what kinda lockscreen u guys using? widgetlocker or normal? Plus what theme do you guys use on widgetlocker or on normal lockscreen (metamorph)
widgetlocker lock screen
i used widget locker is great alternative locker android phone it gives you many feature
I use the stock one. I did use widgetlocker, but it has a lag between pushing the power button and appearance of the lockscreen. And I started hating it afther a wile, somethimes the lag was so worse that you could press the unlock button, unlock the phone with the standard (htc)lockscreen and hit the homescreen and then had to unlock widgetlocker because it was to slow.
The standard android homescreen doesn't look very good tough, the sliders are to big. But I'm more or less trying to find out what can be done to make it look good.

Stock sliders are too big? What rom are you on?

Stock froyo it looks like htc didn't do an effort to make the standard lockscreen look good
It is possible to make them all right again, but you have to flash an other framework, which I find realy ugly
So I tought to substract the right files of that "new" framework and put them in the stock framework, but its harder then I tought but I'll continue when I have the time!
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.
