I downloaded the Inspired Ace rom which I love and has increased my battery life like I didn't think was possible. My question is the lockscreen. How do I change the sense screen to the standard froyo or gingerbread type that slides left to right and allows you to change ringer on/off?
Widget locker. That's what I use.
You can remove or rename htclockscreen.apk and it should show up automatically. Not 100% sure one the apk name but I think I am remembering close.
Located in /system/app
note: if you use the above process (deleting the apk) your alarm will not work.
Widgetlocker looks pretty cool, I think I might have to check that out.
Widget locker is the best. You can make multiple unlock bars, widgets on the lock screen, change the lock bar style, etc. Absolutely worth the cost.
I guess my question is how do you use the add ons in the rom. It has the option while downloading to enable the htc lockscreen but I want to use the stock froyo slider that I'm guessing it also has. How do I change the lockscreen? I would post this in the rom forum but I can't yet because of my number of posts.

In case you have not noticed - the Sense 3.0 Lockscrren on out Sensations now has additional functionality.
To unlock the phone you drag the grey circle upwards. But you can also tap and drag one of the 4 icons (phone, mail, web, camera) and move them into the middle of the circle and you then jump right to that function.
I find that kinda neat, and of couse it opens the question - can we add custom icons / apps to this quicklauncher and if so how is this done?
Also, there seems to be a reproducible bug with the camera, at least in my phone. When I launch it likedescribed above it starts the camera app (i see the stuff the cam ispointing at in the display) but it lacksallof the control buttons. Is this hapening with your versions too or isitmaybe already fixed?
You're kidding, right?

In such a case, go to settings and change your lockscreen shortcuts

Personalize -->Lock screen-->go to the lock screen you want and choose settings - tap app icon to change shortcuts
I was laughing at this then realized I have a question about the lockscreen too! Don't wanna start a new thread. So when you have an alternate launcher, you lose the ability to access the "personalize" section of the settings, which is where you change the lockscreen icons and ****. Now, to change the lockscreen type or icons, I need to disable Launcher Pro's defaults and use the Sense launcher. I don't change it often, so no biggie. But is there a way to change the lockscreen outside of the Sense launcher?

tj - just pull down the notification bar and go to all settings - personalize is at the top then mod your lockscreen
the only settings available is the htc modified version - thats why car home is blacklisted because if you try to pull up settings it crashes - doesn't care for the HTC version

See, with Launcher Pro at least, when I hit that Personalize button it just closes settings and throws me back to the homescreen. No FC or anything, I just go to my homescreen. Can anyone with an alternate launcher confirm this behavior for me? Is it just Launcher Pro, or maybe even just my device?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
okay i see what you mean
zeam and launcher pro do the same thing if you select them to open personalize
you have to use sense to launch personalize
if you don't get prompted to choose between lpro and sense when you click personalize just clear the launcher pro defaults and next time you can choose sense. shouldnt make that big of a deal since sense will just get dropped once youre back in launcher pro
I have the camera bug also...
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
from what i can pull out of the OP's message, I think he was saying a bug where the lock screen will show the icons and background but also be displaying the image from the camera.
I first noticed this when I was using Barcode Scanner, left the app running, locked the phone, and then hit the unlock button. the normal lock screen would appear faded and then the live camera image. pretty cool looking i think
I can reproduce this
Almost got it with anycut - create a shortcut by long pressing the screen from whatever launcher you want then choose activity - scroll down and choose the second personalize listed - there should be three. the lock screen settings are there and load fine without crashing only problem is that your lockscreen will change to a theme but the icons on the lockscreen don't switch. I think if you tried out all thet settings options in anycut you could do it.
Hi all,
I've got 2 questions:
1. I was wondering if it would be possible to have some sort of widget that allows me to change my brightness in the lock screen.
2. Is there some sort of mod for the notification window? I would like to have the "quick settings + some other functionality in the first window when I drag it down.
Thanks!
Jason.
Well lock screen brightness would be the same as your home screen brightness.
(not too positive if that's what you mean) you can adjust that in menu/settings/display
As for your quick settings being something different. That is definitely a suggestion to bring up as I have never seen that done differently besides a EQS.
Maybe a Twitter feed? Or something? Conversations? Hmmm

1. Get Widgetlocker app on the market and add whatever brightness widget you would like to the lockscreen.
2. CM7 and MIUI both let you customize the quick settings shortcuts on the notification bar.
You can also use a tweaks option on any sense ROM although you will find most have it anyway (custom roms)

can you elaborate? Tweaks like what?
@OP.. Sense Lock screen cant be changed. U can use brightness changing application in Sense Lock screen shortcuts but that will still unlock screen after opening application..
Second option as 2nd post says to use WidgetLocker application but for that u have to sacrifice Sense Lock screen...
Let me clarify myself further:
I would like to keep the htc sense lockscreen as it is but also include the option to adjust brightness.
As for the notifications:
the samsung galaxy s2 shows quick settings in the first window when dragged down, I would like to have something similar and maybe increase the number of options displayed. For all I care the recent applications in this window can go out of the window for this since I always use the home button to switch between applications.

Hi, i just was looking for themes for the lockscreen, but no results... I've only found apps that make my phone slower and more laggy when unlocking...
So where could i find mods to change the appearance of lockscreen dor root users????
If they dont exist, a new thread for new mods could be created...
EDIT: tried "lockbot pro" + "no lock" combination... Works very very very well without any lags... No errors, no dual lockscreen and can put some themes (ics theme too ).... Its very inntegrated with the os.... Works exacatly as stock lockscreen... But cannot use widgets... Ahhhhhh
I use widgetlocker. Slows the phone a bit but still fast
No, i have discovered lockbot pro.... It run so smooth... As i am using ics theme ,i have cose the ics theme for lockbot... Let me see it how it runs....
However im not looking for that... Im looking for a mod, to modify the stock lockscreen, because its the only one really integrated with the OS
Edited: uau, its works very well, but still laggy ...nothing like stock lockscreen xdxd
I'm quite interested in this too, I used widgetlocker for a while, and loved having pacman to pull across the screen to unlock, but if u want to have any form of security on ur phone, a lock pattern or pin number u have to unlock with widgetlocker, then slide the stock unlocker, and THEN do ur pattern or code, its a pain in the arse!!
I've been playing with a HTC Desire HD lately, and I love the lock screen on that, where u pull a ring to the centre of the screen, or to the thing u wanna do, like camera, phonem sms, etc.
maybe this can help you.
install no locker from market. open it and select lockscreen disabled then run widgetlocker and there you go. no lags or double locks

Have you tried to make a theme for just the lockscreen using UOT? Try it here... UOT Kitchen You can do an entire theme or just pick the thing you want to theme out. Not sure exactly what your going for, but using UOT you can change the appearance of the lock tabs, color, even the icons on the lock sliders. Enjoy!
Have you tried GoLocker?
Remember how when the first ring lockscreen came about we could change the shortcuts?
It seems with Sense 4 they mimic what you have in the launcher bar. Can't change them unless you change the ones in the launcher.
That's kind of lame
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/04/18/change-lock-screen-apps-htc-sense-4/
seems pretty smart to me, if you put stuff on the launcher bar its a pretty good bet you are going to want to have fast access to those apps.
I agree - so need to get creative with just the 4 choices. Luckily ICS allows shortcut folders. Decision on whether you want something 1 click or 2+.
There's gotta be an XML edit that can be made to Rosie or , wait, wouldn't be rosie, damn, I'm trying to remember the name of what controls lockscreen. Haven't run sense in almost a year, will edit when I remember. Sorry

I think it makes since to use the dock icons too. Here's the issue I have with the lock screen:
I have my lock screen set up to show notifications, buttons when I receive a text message it only shows the number and not the contact name. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Fusion apk. That's what I was trying to remember. XML edits in fusion would probably break the dependency. IDK, haven't had a chance to look at sense 4 yet.

I did notice that if you using a launcher like Apex then you can set up the short cuts you want on your lock screen by setting them in sense the go back to apex and set the ones you want in your dock there.

How does it make sense to limit customization? That doesn't make sense lol the camera for instance isn't on my dock bar, but I would love that to be on the lockscreen, which I could do on 3.6.
Yeah, annoyed with that also... For example, I want access to Spotify on lockscreen, but don't need it in my dock all the time. :/

Widget locker is an option.
Actually, it works perfect for me. I hate the Sense launcher, so I use Nova (Similar to ICS-Stock). I just put the 4 apps I want from the loackscreen on the sense launcher tray, and then never open the launcher again.
+1 on an alternate launcher.
Using Apex and liking it better than stock given the fact that I can now have some gesture support on the home screen AND have different dock icons than lock screen icons.
Title says it all... Basically, I want to remove/disable lockscreen widgets, (which is an option in many ROMS), however use a custom widget (instead of the standard clock)... get it?
I tried replacing the standard widget, then disable all widgets... however, unfortunately that brings backs the main clock lockscreen widget.
Anyway

Dont disable lockscreen widgets. Just add your custom widget and delete the page with stock widget , thats it
