[HOW-TO] Getting rid of sense lock screen - EVO 4G Android Development

Hey guys
I didn't make this but stumbled across it and I know its something other people have been looking for.
This will remove the sprint lock screen and give you the lock that slides to the right (vanilla lock).
http://geekfor.me/evo/21/vanilla-lock-fix-for-evo/
They are only guaranteed to work with Fresh Evo 0.1d but I can confirm that it works perfect with DamageContorl 3.1.2
There are several options on the page but I selected option #3 since I use beautiful widgets for my clock.
If anyone knows how to make it a non-transparent background, let me know!
Installation goes as follows (how I did it)
save zip to sd card
boot to recovery
load zip file
done
thanks to flipz and anyone else involved in this fix/project!

It works on Calkulin's too... it does screw up your power options screen (as stated on the site) and it has a transparent background (I personally was not a fan... looks too cluttered). Other than that... works fine.

Using BuglessBeatv0.3
Tried #1, it works terrible.
Instead of left to right, it's up and down.. but it SHOWS UP and if it's left to right.
Trying #2 right now.
Same results.
Trying #3 now.
Going down in order, lol.
Same results again.
Does not work well with Pete's BuglessBeast.

I just use "no lock" in the market.
Screen shuts off, but now, the volume button wakes it (I hate the power button). Goes to whichever screen it was on, when screen powered off.
No lock is free.

i use the security unlock code and its annoying to have to unlock it and then enter code. is there a way to get the lock screen to go away totally and only have the unclock code?

This is what I, ultimately, would like as well. This is how it worked on my Droid, and I really liked that. Unfortunately, I haven't found any methods to get this to work on the Evo yet.

Cheer's mate
works nicely. i like the fact you can rotate the bezel to alter the brightness.
Cool, it even allows full power, and apparently without limit, suggesting the LEDs can actually handle that... that's damn bright.
Now it would be even better if it didn't do that stupid animation everytime it's launched.
Thanks for sharing!
OK, just for fun, LED current draw:
Step 1: 32mA
Step 2: 107mA
Step 3: 530mA, thats 2W of LED. Mighty. I can light my whole flat with that. LOL
Nice.
Many thanks for sharing
Great app!!! is there a way to start it without the intro..?
http://pocketnow.com/software-1/new-htc-flashlight-app-for-hd2-available
Would it be possible, a recruitment Create menu where you can disable the 3 mode?
Thanks for sharing.
This is a very nice app.
I agree with other users, that it would be even better if it would start without the animation.
Any chace to achieve that?
All the Flashlight interface is done through GIO1: by HTCFlashlightLib.dll, which exports the functions EnableFlashLight and SetFlashLightDegree (though I haven't figured out their parameters yet).
Control codes for DeviceIOControl are 0x220C10, 0x220C04, 0x220C00, the last two are excessively used throughout the ASM. It also imports some clock stuff from MSM_CLK.dll - is it possible this one controls stuff like the CPU freq?
Thanks for the effort, and it looks nice, but it's useless due to the startup animation.
I have TorchButton in quicklinks, I just tap and it's instantly on. This thing takes a full 2-3 seconds which is kind of annoying, though I'm sure someone can fix it.
Edit: Also, this is 1.2MB larger than TorchButton... just saying, I wouldn't care if it didn't have animation at the start.
Thanks for sharing! Loving every detail
Decrease power of flash in photocamera
Can someone write to me the key of register to decrease the power of the flash when the camera is used?
cheers mate nice app
+1
It's nice but the start up animation is a bit of a bind.
My other TorchLight program starts up instantly just like a flashlight should
do you have the rest of the dump of the rom it came from?
This is a briiliant app but sadly as soon as I installed it my HD2 went all squirrley. My phone started to hang and booted slowly, when I got it to finally load using the slide to unlock the phone caused the screen to go black...
I like this just not sure why it did this...
In the end I uninstalled it and all is okay again...
Scott
ok. i know this is for htc devices but i put i on my lg expo. and it works as in it turns on and off the led but it turn on the front message led not the back camera led. does anyone know where the key/value that controls the led might be
thx

[REQ/IDEA] Secure Lockscreen

Hey guys, i got an idea for an interested dev. I dont have a android phone yet, but I've been lurkin around here for a while and have learned a lot from all you guys.
Now, i for one know people who go through others phones. Needless to say, it is annoying. I have an idea to con these guys out of there snooping.
Its a lock screen app that implicates both that we know already, the standard bar swiping one

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and the combo one
I was thinking maybe we could get an app that let you swipe the bar, like if it was going to open it, but then act like if nothing happened. To actually unlock it, you would put the combo in invisibly, either by swiping through specific sectors, as if the screen were a grid.
This is my idea to you devs for a safer phone.
I like this idea. Would be a good April fools trick too.

hahaaha, i know right. just hope a dev is willing to do it.
Can't imagine it would be that hard since both items are already built.

Hmm well on cyanogenmod you can just hide the "dots" on the Pattern-lock. I use it currently. My current background is black, so that's why it's all black. It's just an extra security measure. Anyone without an android phone wouldn't really know what to do considering it doesn't even show the "Incorrect pattern" message (which you can turn on or off).
Note that this is the normal pattern lock with just everything hidden (except for the cyanogenmod message at the top, which can be turned off/changed to something else.) There's no slide-unlock then pattern-unlock, just pattern-unlock.

Weird Screen Glitch When Unlocking Via Pattern Lock

Have encountered this twice with my replacement One S (first one had a weird refresh issue that I haven't encountered yet with the replacement). This is all using the stock Sense launcher with pattern locked enabled.
Basically coming out of a screen off situation I unlock via the ring and then get the pattern screen. However, everything is smaller and shifted far to the right so I can't see all of the dots and therefore can't unlock. Only solution is to restart the phone.

Just curious if others have run into this.
Just happened again.
Figured out a workaround to not have to reboot the phone. One of my lock screen shortcuts is the camera. When this happened I went directly to the camera from the lock screen and back to the lock screen and all of the dots appeared this time.

Are you rooted, bootloader unlocked, or running a dif recovery? I have been using the gesture unlock since day one and have had no issues like what you describe. Perhaps a factory reset may help?
None of that. Stock out of the box. I'll monitor it and see if I can determine if it is specific steps that lead to it since it doesn't happen that frequently. Hasn't been happened at all today.

This happened with me too, on my stock phone. It must be a bug that has to do with the camera unlock feature, I just stick to bare pattern and it works for me.
I have the exact same issue with my stock HTC One S. I don't use face unlock just the pattern.
Thanks for the camera thing work around, I was getting tired of rebooting my phone.
Question, when you open the app drawer and start tapping "Menu" on top right rapidly, does the UI start glitching?
It's happen to me as well, I'm using the face unlock now to avoid reboot. I'll try the camera work around.
I occasionally get that as well but turning the screen off and on again or even going in to the emergency dialer and backing out usually fixes it. I've never had to reboot because of it. I use the camera for security with a trace pin backup.

who is spying after me?

Hi.
I assume that someone spies against me. look at these 3 reasons:
1. my notification list contains a transparenr/black icon. see image (i marked the "hole" yellow frame):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
how can i know which app activates it? the active apps list seems pretty ok.
2. after i turn on my device (samsung galaxy s2) and wait for about a minute or so, i turn on the screen, want to draw my pattern but it screen tells me that i should wait 30 seconds, means that someone or somewhat has previousely tried to guess the pattern and failed to do so for 5 times. it happens every time i turn on the device.
3. my waze app sometimes loads by itself, even while i'm not touching the device.
what do you guys think?
Thanks!

well first of your image link is broken anyways i am assuming your phone is rooted if it were you could try installing greenify to see which apps are running in background also if you think you have a R.A.T on your phone (p.s a R.a.t stands for remote administration tool and is a type of spyware) if i were you i would try installing a free anti-virus like avast run that see what happens if that doesn't show up as anything and you are still feeling like you are being watch maybe flash to a nandroid backup?
thanks

A few weird issues...

When I turn the phone off and back on it wants my password instead of a fingerprint... is this happening with you guys? The fingerprint only works AFTER the password has been put in if rebooted..
Also I am getting a weird error message saying "all apps associated with this action have been turn off, blocked, or are not installed." I do use package disabler pro, but everything I disabled was the same stuff I disabled on my s6... anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?
Last thing is the message that pops up saying my SD card is inserted, anyway to get rid of that so it doesn't pop up every reboot?

Firstly the password is normal. There's a quip on there about it being safer that way. I also found if you install greenify and allow it administrator access you can't do fingerprints anymore either. They just upped the security. That's all.
Secondly you probably disabled something , as it sounds like you already know. Lastly that's normal. Guessing it's like the s5 popups that seemed to never go away

Meh... kinda sucks...
Any clue what I might have disabled to cause that? Or am I going to have to go through it one by one.. :'(
Nevermind I got it. It ended up being game launcher which I checked by accident. Hopefully root happens soon to disable that SD card thing cause that's annoying.
Agreed. Glad you found it!

One more thing, though. Anyone have any idea of how to add the temperature (weather) to the lock screen? My S6 had the time and a little icon showing what the weather was...
