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.

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.
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.
OK semi stupid question about Android roms. Is there one where you don't have to slide down to answer calls? I keep the phone in my pocket when it rings, I go to answer it most of the time it answers itself. Don't know if there one that has slide left to right like the Iphone or others.
CM7 roms slide left to right to answer, I think it's only Sense and MIUI that slide down to answer, but I could be wrong. But I know that CM7 has the sliding tabs to answer/reject like on the lockscreen.
the easiest way to go about this would be to download a lockscreen app from the market. there is a really great app called lock 2.0 which will allow you to do what you want. also you can add custom sounds if you like. there is also 1 called lockbot pro (what im using now) which has many different lockscreen styles like iphone, hero, eclair, froyo, x10 & galaxy. you can create many different lockscreens by changing the background around and a setting that will go through your default lockscreens you choose so you get a different lockscreen each time..i find it pretty cool. there is a free version as well but not as many features. hope this helps out.

but as far as I can remember, these apps don't change the incoming call screen, which is the real benefit of horizontal slide
i had to re-read that because i wasn't sure what you was talking about at 1st. your 100% right though, i must of missed the part about incoming calls the 1st time i read it.

Simple, Just get a protective case for it or sleeve or something. The screen is capacitive so only responses to touch from your fingers (not pressure but touch) so aslong as there is something covering screen it wont unlock.

I'm not sure about your phone, but mine is so responsive that it feels my finger through the protective cover I always demonstrate this to my friends by unlocking my device (whether vertically in android or horizontally in WinMo) through the cover
that's why it's a problem, we either need a horizontal answer app (easy) or get a thicker cover, which makes a barely-pocketable phone impossible to fit in pockets, unless you're one of those who wear baggy pants with huge pockets.
use the pattern unlock screen Miui has loads if different lock screens

There are a few things that really bug me about the Touchwiz software.
1) The ridiculous color scheme/non-standardization between pages. For instance, the new apk install menu is just horrid to look at, as well as certain pop-up confirmation buttons. Is there any easy way to change these so that they more reflect AOSP?
2) The messaging application and the widget that appears on the lock screen when you have a missed phone call/text message. I was wanting to use Dashclock widget on the homescreen to replicate this purpose, but no matter what, I can't find a way to disable that widget that always appears. Is there a way to remove it?
3) This sorta ties along with #2, but when you use a pattern on the lock screen, you can't use a stand alone widget, Samsung automatically takes over and uses it's own. I know it's possible to use pattern and a widget (I can do it on the GE Rom, and my Nexus 7), is there a way duplicate this process?
4) Is there a way to replace the TW messaging app with an AOSP messaging application?
5) The pull down notification bar, is there any way to make it look more like AOSP?
There are things that I love both about TW and AOSP, and unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a rom (in my opinion) that compliments both of the features that they consist of nicely. I don't have the knowledge (or the time at the moment with school coming up) to try and build my own rom that would enjoy the features that I would want. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this process. I would be forever grateful.
cliff notes: you cant change the lock screen icons or remove them at all.
so it seems the biggest gripe i have with this phone, albeit, not a huge gripe.....
you cannot pick and choose which icons show up on your lock screen tray. it reflects what you have in your unlocked home screen tray.
so if you dont want any icons in your lock screen, then you have to remove them from your homescreen tray.
i have seen many videos of other HTC phones that you can personalize the lock screen, however, on the 816 you do not even have that subfolder for lock screen personalization.
i cannot even remember the last time that i wasnt able to customize the lock screen with whatever icons i wanted to show up or none at all (which is my preference). I guess LG is a little more flexible about this one than HTC.
it has been confirmed per HTC online chat.
do keep in mind, i have no plans on rooting or running a customer rom, nor do i want to hear anyone saying i should, because you're wasting your time.
this isnt something i should have to hack my phone for or to install a launcher or separate lock screen app to do this.
this phone is limited in storage and i shouldnt have to load it up with this crap.
Thread cleaned. People argue over the stupidest stuff on the internet. Everybody take a breather and let it go.
Customization on stock HTC ROMs has gone backwards for years. I've been an HTC user for almost four years and remember when lockscreen shortcuts could be changed, but they've been unchangable separately from the tray since Sense 4. So, it's not just this phone. And I agree it is a step backwards although I think removing skins was a step backwards in customizing HTC phones too. But, I guess that's their choice.
I tried to find a way to remove them, but the only option would be to remove them from the launcher and then use a different launcher which you don't want to do.
If you had wanted to add an app without running a custom launcher or lockscreen, you could enable widgets on the lockscreen. On my HTC One, you go to Settings, Security, Enable lock screen widgets (I'm sure yours is similar). You could then add a widget to whatever app you want (assuming one is available).
Thanks for cleaning up the thread, it certainly needed it. Also thanks for actually giving an adult type response. These responses is what you should look for in a forum not the ones that were deleted from this thread.
the HTC phones I had were before sense 4, I've been on an lg phone kick lately and they've been great. But I came across the 816 phablet and it seems exactly like what I wanted. This issue is a very small one and won't cause me much frustration other than the fact that I don't want them there. But I do use them because they are there, but my preference is that they were not.
OK, this isn't really for OP because he doesn't want to root but for anyone else that wants to use different apps on the lock screen...
Install the Xtended Settings module for Xposed. That will allow you to accomplish what OP wanted. Xtended Settings along with Sense6 Toolbox will allow you to change EVERY DAMNED THING on your Desire 816. And by everything I honestly mean it. I don't think I've found a color or setting that couldn't be changed.
Make sure you have a backup before you play around with things though because there is a lot and if you just play with it and test different things you might forget how to set it back.

Nice find. I've heard of Sense 6 Toolbox but not Xtended settings. It's unfortunate that rooting is the only way to change things.
will it let me get rid of the battery saver mode notification icon?
