[Q] Lockscreen - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

hi,
I'm having the Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 3.5 ROM on my HD2. Best Rom I've used!
But only thing, I don't like the lockscreen, it unlock in my jeans...
I've tried a lot of lockscreen Apps, but non of them really worked. Like: When I got called, the standard lockscreen turned on, and sometimes, the standard lockscreen was showed, and not that one I used in the app and stuff like that.
How can I change it to the original WM6.5 lockscreen? 'Cause I really liked that, and it didn't unlock in my jeans.
Thanks

AFAIK the incoming call screen will always revert to the default one from the ROM, no apps can change this (at least none that I've found so far). You can always change ROM (Sense is slow anyway) but I don't think you can individually change the call screen.

Thanks for fast reply!
Sad thing about that incoming call screen.
But what app for lockscreen do you think works the best?
(offtopic: That slow sense, with this rom it's all fine but that's my opinion and off topic)

Dunno the only one I've ever used is widgetlocker which is quite decent. And yeah, it's entirely opinion and i haven't used the energy ROM specifically, I was just basing that on the other sense ROMs I've tried

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?

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

Looking for lockscreen replacement!

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!
- GOTO Lockscreen
- Widget Locker
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
b
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.

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.

pull lock screen from a build and add it to another?

Say I wanted to pull a lock screen from a rom and add it to another. Can it be done?
I want to get rid of the sense lock screen and use a cyanogen type.
Thanks in advance.

Edit. Got it. Perfect. Thanks.
Read into replacing the Sense alarm clock too, as I believe it can only be snoozed/dismissed through controls in the htclockscreen. Could be a little problematic in the morning.
Now if only it was that easy to change the Sense answer/reject slider for the stock one...

How do I replace the alarm clock? I never thought about that.
Edit: Found it. Not as good of a fix though. FC on the new clock. Guess it's back to sense lock screen for me. Anybody have the apks for it?
J/K. I backed them up.
pull camera from another build?
Hi, I have a similar question. I have a build that the camera's zoom doesn't work and the LED cannot be turned off/on during recording. On another build the camera works perfectly. Perhaps I can exchange the files on the two build?
Thank you very much for your help.

Incoming Call Screen:

Hi all, I'm just customising my Android Build, and wondered if there are any alternatives or ways of changing the incoming call screen? I believe sense has a version and the MCCM 3.4 seems to have something different. Are there any apps that change or customise that screen? I'm using LauncerPro as my launcher at the moment if that makes any difference?
Thanks

interesting question
anyone? this should really help with the answering\declining a call when taken out of pocket..
solution found!
OK i hope you guys see this - i found a solution -
just install this .apk, it presents a screen with two simple buttons (answer\decline) instead of having to slide. works like a charm no more leg\but answering\declining calls

[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.
