Before I begin, I want to let everyone know I searched endlessly for the problem I'm having and have found absolutely nothing. I'm hoping someone out there can help solve this problem for me. Also I'm posting here rather than any other section because it seems as though I would get the best help here.
I downloaded all of fresh's different vanilla clock options and tried them all individually making sure to wipe data/dalvik cache and haven't been able to achieve the results I'm looking for. Here are the problems:
1. His vanilla lock screen works but not when I receive calls, only when I turn off/on screen. When I receive calls I get the standard Htc lock screen. I've tried everything I can think of including using root explore to remove factory lock screen and also going in through the adb shell. Both ways seem successful until I get a call and realize I have the same problem all over again.
2. The second problem is that the vanilla clock on the lock screen is blurry and doesn't look the way it supposed to. It's black instead of white and very faint. I've found a way to get rid of the clock in the lock screen but would rather have one.
Basically I'm trying get the vanilla lock that's in darchdroid 2.7 or one that operates in that manner and looks the same. I'm assuming that that's the original unmodified/themed vanilla lockscreen.
Oh, and all this time I thought all those vanilla lockscreen mods (JsChiSurf, flipz, and the Gregalous's metamorph) handled calls this way!
I would also like to see this. Just a pure AOSP lock screen with all the looks and functionality of the original.
I'm confused my clock in the rotary aosp lockscreen is white and when I get a call the arc from the HTC lockscreen comes up but that's what's in the frameworks. I don't know what darchdroid looks like cause I've never tried it. I prefer sense roms.

I prefer Sense based roms as well after having numerous problems with dd 2.7 I ran out of patience. Plus fresh is running incredibly smooth for me. But the vanilla lock screen on that rom is neat because it's made so that it comes up all the time in similar fashion to phones that come stock with vanilla such as the original droid. This means that when you get a call to answer/unlock the vanilla lock screen comes up as well. No Sense lock whatsoever. Also I believe that it's themed so it's not completely clear but only semi transparent so that you can tell the lock screen is there. Lol I'm probably not doing a good job at describing it and don't have any screen shots since I"m not using dd 2.7 anymore.
Below is a thread from a while back about putting aosp apks on Sense based roms and you (Papa) have a post that you signed the zips so that they could just be flashed on instead of pushed. I wonder if this is possible with the vanilla lock screen? I figured if anyone would know it would be you or jschisurf. I extracted dd 2.7 rom and looked through the individual files for the lock screen but since I don't know what I'm doing (I've programming illiterate) I didn't see anything.

It will have to be done differently. Its not an app. Its in the android.policy file in the frameworks folder. I'm not great at classes.dex edits. IR bet is to ask jschisurf. He's the man when it comes to those edits
Should I send him a pm along with a link to this thread then?

You might want to check out WidgetLocker if you haven't heard of it. It's $1.99 and really customizable.. here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732986
And here's a video review of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9InDlQTy5lY At 5:15 it looks like you can get the exact AOSP lock functionality as well as static wallpaper. Then it's just up to you to find the clock widget you like..
Ok thank you. I will pm him and see what happens.

c00ller, thanks so much for finding this app!!! I downloaded it already and it's awesome! The only thing I wish it could do is replace the answer call drag down bar as well which is part of what I was looking for. This is great though! I wouldn't have know about it otherwise.
No prob I'm actually thinking of getting it myself. I agree though, it would be perfect if it also showed slide to answer a call
1. His vanilla lock screen works but not when I receive calls, only when I turn off/on screen. When I receive calls I get the standard Htc lock screen. I've tried everything I can think of including using root explore to remove factory lock screen and also going in through the adb shell. Both ways seem successful until I get a call and realize I have the same problem all over again.
is there any way to make the receive call the same as the lockscreen?
The in call lockscreen is mutually exclusive of the standard lockscreen, and thus why deleting HtcLockScreen.apk has no impact on the in call lockscreen that displays.
The problem is, the in call lockscreen is controlled by Phone.apk. If it were possible to simply load the AOSP Phone.apk, it would likely work, but I don't think it is that easy, as there would likely have to be major "surgery" to the .apk to integrate into the HTC framework, etc.
The other option is to try and take the elements of just the AOSP Phone.apk file that control the in call lockscreen and incorporate them into our (HTC Phone.apk). Either way, a lot of work, I'm guessing, would be required to make it happen.
So, long story short, this isn't technically a lockscreen issue at all, but a Phone.apk "issue" to address, if possible.
I haven't taken the time to see what it may involve, and haven't even tried to see if an AOSP Phone.apk would load, out of the box (doubt it), but that's the starting point for anyone interested in tackling it.

By judging from your work i can see that you are quite good at these, would you mind if you could help us out? i guess a lot of people would want this
Jschisurf, thank you for your feedback! I knew if anyone might have an idea it would be you based on the numerous threads involving your work. I wish I could take what you said and begin tackling it however, I've got no skill in this area. The most I could do is offer you or anyone who can do this a small donation to tackle it and can get it working. However, that being said, I can't imagine how much of a pain in the ass this would be based on what's involved so I'm not going to push it.
I've tried to load aosp phone.apk in past but no go
I have tried numerous metamorph themes modifying the framework-res.apk, and they seem to apply just fine (metamorph gives me a "succesfully applied" notification). The thing is, once I reboot, nothing changes . I was working on modifying the lockscreen, and everything applied well, but it didn't show a difference. I figured I must have messed something up, so I applied another person's lockscreen mod and it acted in the exact same way. This is really frusturating me cause I have been working on different solutions for the past 2 hours, and nothing seems to be working.
I am using GB 2.3 (latest release), and do have a different theme applied using theme chooser, but as far as I am aware, it has no affect on the lockscreen files. If anyone has any ideas, that would be great!
Thanks in advance!

There's 5 versions of GB, which ROM do you have? And if you are using a theme it's important to know which one. Also, maybe throw some links up to the actual morphs you're using. Also, what exactly are you trying to do? Like what's the morph changing specifically. I mod my frameworkres.apk and SystemUI.apk manually with every flashover, (using aospCMod 3/26 and "androidian" from theme chooser) so *maybe* I can help.
I am using the rom on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864403
(AOSP 2.3.3 / CM7 (Gingerbread) [03/26/2011]).
I am using this "theme chooser" theme (Honeycomb Hero)
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965216) (the one for CM7, obviously)
I tried to apply this lockscreen theme (MDPI version)
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602)
since it was targeting the same thing that I was working on; this was my test to see if it was my theme that was messed up, or if it was something else.
I am wanting to simply change the green unlock icon that you slide to unlock your phone, which is located in:
framework-res/res/drawable-land-mdpi
Hope this helps; thanks again.
I've used the lockscreen morph you're trying to apply on the same Rom a couple versions ago... I forgot which one but after reading some posts in the thread when I tried it on later versions it just didn't work because the framework has changed (i think) cuz it didn't work for me either. So you would probably have to post your framework in that thread & ask the op to make the new morph for you to work. I don't think its user error or anything like that. Hope that helps ...I really liked that lockscreen when it still worked on like 3/18 or somethin

Yeah thats something I might do too. I'm just wondering why the images that I edited aren't being changed. Maybe ill do a flash or push framework over, but that seems riskier. Thanks for the input

So I found this thread that has a Power Control Widget and Lockscreen Chooser that you can flash on the EVO 4G. My questions is can this be ported over or modified and made to work on our EVO Shift. So that we can flash it on our phones. I know they're using it on some roms as part of the rom.

This should be able to be ported over. Here is what you do:
1. DL Original base of EVO 3.70
2. DL MOD from thread
3. Compare the files from the MOD to the original using WinMerge - figure out what has been changed.
4. Compare the files from the MOD to original files from a Shift and try to bring those changes over to the Shift's files.
It seems really simple but there are a bunch of problems that usually jump up. I tried a few of the seemingly easier ones but was having trouble. But an easier way than porting this awesome MOD would be just use CM7
Sounds fairly straight foward. But, then again a lot of things do. I think I'll just leave it up to someone else for now. Might give it a shot if I get brave. Using the Mik v1.1, too set on it to change

The app is called WidgetLocker. For the notification bar Widgetsoid. But what I was talking about would be built into the rom itself. Not an add on app.

I would prefer locking and unlocking the phone to be instant with no crt animation..anyway to remove it?
Try looking in dev tools, you should be able to find it in your app drawer
dont have it
Nope, i dont have it. Running weapon 2.3.3...Anyway I can get the apk...or maybe a different way to get rid of the animation?
This has been discussed in weapon's thread.
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
If you install CM7, you can disable it in CM Settings.
the crt animation does not delay screen lock/unlock.
when you disable the animation the screen delay is way more obvious. you can try it yourself if you don't believe me.
Xboarder's thread has a crt-removal zip. It MAY work with your rom, it's for stock.

Hi all,
I am looking to try a new lockscreen other than the default HTC lockscreen to get more information at a glance. However, all of the lock screen replacements I have tried seem to sometimes have a slight delay where the HTC lockscreen shows for a second before the custom one I installed shows up. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, and just have the phone go directly to the custom lockscreen? I am rooted and s-off which should help. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you used the ViperOneM8 custom ROM? In the tweaks it allows you full customization of the lock screen + other screens. Nova Launcher in combination with ViperOneM8 is how I have my phone and I couldn't be happier! ?
And they're releasing a new 3.x version within a couple weeks, if not days over the new 4.4.4 firmware.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I used to be running viperROM, but I was hoping that the lockscreen would give me more information at a glance kind of like how the new Lollipop lockscreen looks. I looked though a lot of the settings, but didn't seem to find what I was looking for. I will be looking into the new version once it drops, because I definitely liked the ROM, just wished the lockscreen could be customized the way I like.
Maybe a theme download? Sorry

If you go into the /system/priv-app directory and re-name the HtcLockScreen.apk to something like HtcLockScreen.apk.bkp then it will default to the AOSP lock screen after a re-boot. I am doing that and using the DashClock lockscreen widget. I'm happy with the results. You also get the full-screen music art on the lockscreen, which I like having back.
