any aosp rom will have it (like cyanogenmod)
fresh rom has it, if you update using freshupdater
i don't know about the others
hmm dont use aosp stuff.
i will have to look i think it wad vaelpak that was senseless...
so does that mean its a sense thing that wont allow the sideways unlock?

It is a sense thing, but on any 2.2 Sense rom you can remove the HTCLockscreen and the original one will appear in its place. It works, but you can't use it for controlling Sense applications (music, calendar, sense alarm clock).

You have a couple options. If you have EStrongs file explorer and root and read/write turned on go to /system/app/ and delete htclockscreen.apk. or you can flash the attached file. this removes the HTC Sense lockscreen and just leaves the vanilla. If you use sense apps like alarm they wont work properly so you should download an alternative from the market like open alarm or AlarmKlock

Actually the alarm will work as long as you use the asop clock to set alarms...
Just wondering if there still isn't anyway to use the vanilla lock screen to answer calls yet?
oh i know i can just remove the apk, but oh god i hate the Vanilla lock screen... blah yuck.
ok first thing you'll say is the iphone style is nearly the same.
nope, it isnt is my answer.
You can also use widget locker on the market. it has an option for iPhone style screen unlocker.

flyscreen has a calendar widget? i think
what about using Widget Locker?
not smooth as i want. sometimes u can still see original lock screen :<
widgetlocker with smoothcalender widget (Y)
I skipped the installation of widgetlocker because it asked for permission to use the phone... it seems weird... What phone calls should make such an application?
Any other app does the same?
tnx

All apps that support older Android devices older than 1.6 automatically have this permission, and even those not meant for devices that old often still have it, usually because developers didn't know or were lazy - here's more information

Because you can add shortcuts to the screen to make calls I believe. The app itself obviously isn't making any calls.
WidgetLocker + Android Agenda Widget is my favorite.

Another vote for Widget Locker. I use that with Pure Calendar widget to get my appointments on the lock screen.
can i use WL for my mytouch3g andriod 1.6?i dont want to root my phone,.
You don't need to be rooted to run WidgetLocker. I'm using it on an unrooted Evo with the pure calendar agenda widget.
A new widget came out called calendr that is pretty sweet. On the clean though if you like that type of thing.

Original thread
Features
-It does not include the Samsung widgets
-It does work on Froyo and Eclair... I'm running it on the DamageControl Rom
-1 to 7 homescreens
-Application Dock
-App drawer is iphone like style
I would recommend you download the app "Home Switcher" from the market, if you didn't already... Makes it very easy to switch between home replacement apps, and set as default.
Download
TO ADD APPS TO THE DOCK, open up the all the applications by pressing the applications tab, then press menu, then press edit, and drag your apps to the dock as you wish.
Heres some pictures

This is one of the many reasons I love android! Something on another android device you want? Wait a few days and it shall be so!

You are using the built-in application installer most likely, try something like Apkatcher and try installing it again.

It did that for me as well, I had to download with a computer, then transfer the files to the phone. For some reason when I downloaded directly with the EVO, the file kept getting cut off at 13kb. The file is like 1.5mb
Can someone who's downloaded this and installed it successfully please upload the. apk to RapidShare or something? The problem is that download link lists the file at 1.4mb but when you actually download it the file only ends up being 13kb or something. I believe there is something wrong with that particular download link/site. Thanks

When I do a full restore with TB, all of my widgets are replaced with the dreaded "Widget Missing" error. Some of my widgets take a bit of formatting so this is a REAL PAIN.
When you nandroid it saves all of your widgets and restores them. Why can't an app be written that does the same? Or can nandroid be configured to replace your homescreens just as they were even if you do a full wipe and flash a new rom?
I know launcher pro and adw both have settings to backup your homescreens. Works great as long as the apps are already installed.

I guess my point is that if Nandroid can save widgets, why can't we write an app that does the same? How does Nandroid save them? There must be a file somewhere that tells Android where to place your widgets. Where is it and how do we save it?

I think that settings are a part of Rosie.apk for Sense.....when we Nandroid, it takes a dump of the whole system and saves it.....Saving the settings of Rosie is a little more difficult and I think thats why we dont see multiple apps in the bottom Stock Rosie launcher as well

Nandroid makes an image of various partitions on your phone. It's like taking the bag full of goodies instead of taking them out one by one.
Much less difficult than saving and restoring specific settings.
I restored using adw ex and it put my widgets right back in place. In a sense rom and cm 6.1.1.

Don't know which version of ADW Ex you are using but I just tested it and it does NOT reload your widgets. I had 4 widgets on my homescreen and every one got replaced by the "Problem Loading Widget" message.
Damn damn damn and I had such high hopes too. Grrrr.
Why the hell is this so hard?
Idk if this is what you mean. I use tb and after batch restoring apps I use batch restore system data but only select the sense desktop. This restores all widgets and shortcuts. For some reason it will overlay two copies of shortcuts/widgets on top of one another so drag the extra to trash. Is this what you meant?

This isn't an OS restriction. The real way to correct this is to make your default.xml located in /system/customize/MNS. This file is what presets your Scenes, widgets & shortcuts. I can easily remove things but I haven't figured out how to completely figure out how it all works. If someone does figure it out, let me know.
I too have the same issue as the OP... quite annoying since I flash every few days
I like Android but i hate the widgets and the Homescreen, i don't need them. So i like the apple surface. Is there a launcher/hack to show always the app surface/drawer/app depot? I use.the go launcher and if it's possible i will use it further more.
Thx a lot!!!

Why not just resize your homescreen grid to hold more apps and put all your apps on scrollable homescreens? With adw you can even make the dock disappear all together to make more room for app icons.

For.example the go launcher has a perfect app depot with recently used apps and running apps in tab style thats what i love and want.

Use ADW or LauncherPro and change settings so it won't close App Drawer when you open a new app.
Check if MIUI is available for your device, its does not have a app draw.

I suggest the same. also set number of home screens to (1). plus since you don't like the home screen, change the settings so that when you press the home button it pulls up your app drawer.

@Nexus 4G: The same like fifarunnerr. There isn´t a option except "Open/Close the App drawer" but i want only "Open the app drawer".

Dude seriously you are retarded if you have a large screen tab and can't figure this out with the multitude of options at your disposal.

@OP- I'm not sure you really have an option... Even if u switched to miUI, u would have several homescreens instead of one app drawer.

ok guys i just got my 4g slide
i noticed that it doesnt have the same lockscreen as the sensation
is there a way to get this on my phone without root?
because i saw somewhere on phandroid.com that XDA has an installable app
for the EVO (not 3D) adnd i was wondering if anyone knows about an app for the slide
Well you're definitely not going to be able to do it without root since it's a system file. If you try to install an .apk over the existing system file it just won't work without root.
If you do find the .apk let me know cause I'd pay $10 for that right now, it's really all I feel like this phone is missing! I think, however, it's integrated into the framework of the phone - since you can customize through the personalization menu - and that simply installing an .apk won't work exactly as we would wish! We're probably going to have to wait for a custom ROM to come out which hopefully shouldn't be too long!
