Now that I finally got my G1 to work, I want it to be "broken".
I would like to have a bootup lock screen that looks like the phone still is not functioning. Something like a force close alert or a black screen that requires a code.
I tried app locker 2 and put it on the launcher but it seemed erratic and I could access the dialer and messaging on first boot so that wont work.
Any ideas?
Nobody has any ideas? I would think there would be an app that would work but looking through the market I am not finding anything. It appears that lockscreens are cooked into the rom?

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.

Hey all,
I have a time widget on my homescreen that doesn't seem to update everytime I come to it. I've tried different settings to get it to work but it changes time sporadically and isn't very useful.
Any tips to get it working properly? I'm using LauncherPro.

Hi.
I don't know if it's only my DHD.
I have htc message widget (black one, not the white one that looks like post-it note) on one of the home screens.
Ever so often when I swipe through home screens that widget is refreshing names and phone numbers that are in the widget (if you have john smith it will delete the name show his number instead and place name back) and when you swipe further to the next screen it lags for few seconds.
Problem is the more messages i have the more it lags
Debugging is not helping and turning fast boot of doesn't change anything either
Unless someone knows a replacement widget to be placed on home screen

Replacement widget ? Well, i use this one, even if it is paid, it's in my opinion the best on the market now :

Good to know you're getting this problem too Matt, as far as I'm aware it's just that the htc widgets are pants. Which is a shame, because I think they look good and are easy to use.
I use the large message, mail and calender widgets and each of them take between 1-3 seconds to refresh. I've even tried to turn off refresh on open where possible just incase, and even disabled mobile data and wifi and it's the same.
The Facebook and Twitter Android widgets work fine, they're already updated before flicking to their screen, which is what is expected from the htc widgets.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix? Is there a setting I'm missing?
I think the answer may be live with it or get another widget, which would be a shame.
All suggestions are helpful

Second that statement, it's usually not something wrong with your phone/your widget version. I've noticed most HTC widgets do end up lagging there are plenty of third party widgets though that do it better.
When I get my phone back on I'll give you the name of a couple I use.
All HTC widget are lags. Maybe they need to free up some memory everytime its not under user's sight so that other apps can run faster with more memory....then it will need to refresh again...
yup, it suxx everytime i swipe to that corner of my homescreen.. omfg its coming! lol actualy the first time i flash/mod my dhd i was expecting it to be smoothen, but ugh..fat chance it really feels like im still at stock rom

All the lag i used to have got fixed with the gingerbread update
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?

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.

im looking for the lockscreen app, like the "pure" android where you slide the bar to to the right. like the htc g2.
I dont wanna buy a lockscreen app from the market.
I got the apk.file for widgetlocker lockscreen but it force closes because it knows i didnt purchase it.
Help me find what im looking for or bypass the widgetlocker lockscreen forceclose thingy please?
Unfortunately, Widgetlocker is the only application I know of to change your lockscreen. No offense to you but you probably sideload a lot of Apps to your phone, knowing all the money you have saved in the past, what's the harm in purchasing ONE app for a change?
Switch to a gingerbread rom like cm it has a lockscreen configuration page. But asking for help with your wares, I'd say is a little iffy.

We aren't to discuss warez on XDA and some developers have taken the option to encode their apps with protocol to verify the legitimacy of the apps

If you want to have an aosp lock screen just go into the system and delete the lockscreen.apk you get the stock lockscreen but there have been known issues of there being transparency. You can see the homescreen even though the lockscreen is there.
