The gingerbread lockscreen was disabled last minute by HTC I believe. Is there a way to get it back? I.e. tv turning off animation when locking.
On second note, can the homescreen be used in landscape?

I sure once we get some custom roms and what not we'll get that animation.
As for the home screen, the sense launcher does not have a landscape mode that I've seen.

Sense can't be used in landscape. I'm hoping somebody makes a mod like they did with Touchwiz, so we can change the functions and stuff, as well as having it landscape

Oh really? In the Sense ROMS i had been using on my HD2, i was able to go into landscape mode. But that doesn't bother me. I just wish the would have kept the awesome lockscreen animation
Hello All,
I somehow have an animated lockscreen at the moment.
Not sure how I did it, in fact trying to recreate it.
The live wallpaper is being displayed on the lockscreen. Can someone else reproduce any such thing on their Sensation?
T.I.A.

If you're using a custom ROM such as Android Revolution HD there are files you can flash to enable it in that particular ROM's Thread.
Thanks sromer for the reply.
Having an animated lockscreen background is very cool right, much more interesting than an static image for now.
the iphone had only one feature that our phone doesn't have.I've seen screen shots if other phones with the feature and am wondering if we can get it....
the iphone had thebottom for icons that remain when you jump from screen to screen and is configurable. what is that called and do we have something like that?

You can use shootme for screen shots and some ROMs like MIUI have it built in. And for the 4 icons that don't move alternative launchers like ADW and Launcher pro etc. have that and it wont movie when you move screen and you can change it to your needs

Miui is a rom that looks just like the iphone. it has the 4 icon dock. You can hold and drag the icons to change them up. Miui is a look alike of the ios.

Look at adw ex it has a second dockbar that can be used on any screen and is configurable.
thanks for the two replies...
i found them to be buggy and/or insufficient because i lost all the htc sense features. or maybe coredroid is that good of rom to make me not want to lose what i currently have.
I flashed a mod yesterday that gave me a transparent rosie and also keeps the dock at the bottom on all the home screens. Unfortunately it isn't customizable but it is a nice little add on.

Luckily I also got the stock rosie to flash back. It should undo the mod but I haven't tried it myself cause I like the transparent look.

Did you even read what he said? lol
tbh agile lockscreens suck, widget locker is the best replacement
thanx for explain
agree with m0kiem00m00, widget locker is pretty cool and fast but need right settings and tunings
Hey I was wondering whats the best way to replicate the iphone lock screen? Is it cm7 theme chooser?
You could try widgetlocker. It has the iPhone lock screen.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
There is an app somewhere that replicates the iphone lock screen. Used to use it on my old phone. So don't have the apk. Search a bit and you'll find it
I have, I am currently using widget locker, I've seen another app but apparently it won't scale. Correctly on the sensation, i didn't try it but saw. A. Comment from an. Evo. I'm guessing there's no. Cm7 themes?

Looking at the description, I don't think this will work... will know in 5 seconds......
And it............ did....... not work. Thanks for trying though.
lol dang, sorry man, no other ideas
Thanks anyway, I just wish we had a simple lock screen like iphone.
Try magiclocker from the market its free

There is an Miui theme with that Lockscreen. And yes it scales correctly. I used it for some time. Other than that I'm out of ideas lol
Magiclocker also has a sweet Samsung puzzle lock theme as well

What's wrong with you banana? I got an android device. For the a ability to customize it. I'm allowed to do what i want with it. If you're immature enough to not have the ability to resist pointless posts that have nothing to do. With the thread, you should be banned.
And I don't really like miui. The interface isn't functional to me. I like cm7. Just want a iphone lock screen. I'll try magic locker.

What about "Lock 2.0"? Haven't used it in forever (coincidentally, it was the first app I ever bought for Android - lol), but it was specifically made to have the iPhone style locking, as well as give it some personal flare.
Yea that's the one he's using. The screen is compressed and the slider bar is really long and skinny. I've tried it without any luck. I now use "no lock" and just hit any button and am on my main screen, I never really saw the use of pressing a button just to do another task..

I do this, except I use a passcode. I just wish android/cm7 will release a lockscreen I like. Rotary did it for me for a while, but it become almost too complicated for me. I didn't like that if I used it to change the sound, i have to wait for the thing to finish rotating. I just want something I slide and it unlocks, but the default sliding tabs in my opinion are ugly. I liked sense's lockscreen, but the cm7 replication doesn't do it for me. looks too... circular
Widget Locker is what you're looking for
Browsing the net for some splash screens/wallpapers and so on, I've accidentally found some nice lockscreens made by nick1313. I was wondering if there are also available for our Desire S (originally they're made for Evo 4G)
I've included a picture below to see what I'm talking. Mainly I'm interested in that nice central electronic watch, eventually if there's such a widget to be placed on the screen
I'm on Endymion v2.1 with the HD honey theme and the clock your after is in:
Personalize,display, lock screen style, clock ,settings,spin cycle clock which is the last one number 11. Cheers gordon
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Thank you for the tip, I'll check the scheme, but I'm on CM ROM and I'm quite happy with it, don't want to change it only for a lockscreen. I was hoping to find something that will work on CM ROMs
No probs very new to all this not sure if the clock is part of the rom or the theme. Cheers gordon
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
That is the very same clock I use and can confirm it's a sense 3.0/3.5 rom lockscreen. But I do like the unlock ring goes well with the clock.

Actually bud I can't take credit for those, Mando41 actually made them, I think. Here's a tutorial for it that I've found but haven't ever used.
EDIT: Just saw you said lockscreen. Did you mean lock ring? The lock screen is just an HTC lock screen right?
Don't know exactly what the posibilities are, that's why I said "lockscreen" (in the print screens there was the lockscreen). What I'd like to have is that digital round watch as a widget on my screen or, if that's not possible to have a lockscreen as you have in the prints.
It just crossed my mind now that the digital watch is on the desktop and the lockscreen has transparent background so it's seen through it.
I'll check the link you've provided and see if I can do something that works on CM ROM not MIUI

Hi, really do like that unlock ring mod I believe its an apk sense skin, correct me if I'm wrong cos most lockrings are modded thru skins.
Would you be kind to direct me to the thread that I can find this mod please.
Cheers.

MasterDL from what I've read and understood, that is the standard sense lockring lockscreen with a moded lockring. Nick has already provided a link to a tutorial for making those custom lockrings (check his post). For this to work though, you should have a ring lockscreen integrated in the rom (Sense based or MIUI as far as I saw). Unfortunately there's no such lockscreen in CM (the "ring" lockscreen in CM looks different)
^ Yeah I know, I am asking for it Cos I am a sense 3.5 user and like to know where this thread is so I can make one myself.
I'm talking about that ring in your first post.

HERE is the tutorial nick has pointed to, for the rest you can check the links in his signature. There are some screens and mods on that site too.
You can also search XDA for "lockring lockscreen" and you'll find plenty of threads that also have sample lockrings for you to use if you like to build your own
