You can change them, but not get rid of them

as phoenx said, you can get rid of them. To change them go to where you change the lockscreen & when you select one you can press any of the 4 icons & it'll give you a list so you can change them to whatever app you want them as

Yup, thanks guys, I know I can change them and finally gave up on deleting them at 2AM and went to sleep.. hahahaha

I don't get what you mean by widgets in the lock screen. The lock screen being *swipe finger sensor* or slide to unlock?
EDIT: ohhhh... this is sense not motoblur... xda app does not distinguish forums very well. Sorry bout that

he means the icons that are preloaded on the lockscreen... there are 4 of them. like mail, message, phone & camera.

Yeah I've never had htc sense. I don't know how I originally posted in the sensation board... coming from motoblur.

Relevant bump!
I too, would like to delete the homescreen widgets. The mail, calendar, contacts, etcc.. (the ones you swipe your finger to access.)
Can anyone lead me as to how to do this? Thanks!

You could try installing Widget Locker ($2.99 in the Market). It's a lockscreen replacement that allows you to fully customize your lockscreen...including removing all shortcuts!

Wonder if there's a widget like this?

Curious to know, after looking at the demo video for Windows Phone 7 (or windows mobile 7 whatever), is there some sort of widget we could put on our screens, or has anyone heard of one, that can show off our recent calls? I think that would be handy indeed. I'll do some more searching but I didn't see anything yet, if I find something, I'll be sure to edit and update this post.
Thanks

lol thats the first thing that I thought but hey.
to the OP all you have to do is hit "phone" on the rosie bar and it will bring up all recent calls.
I'd like a widget like this too.
yeah yeah yeah, it may seem stupid but let's put this into perspective....."dildroid"? Need I say more?
Anyway, yeah dude, seriously....would it have killed ya fingers to type out the extra letters?

Looks like the guy wants to copy something that was demo'd in a winmo7 phone.
I think it's a good idea, recent calls widget would be nice, along with any of the other "tiles" or widgets they have going on in the new winmo. One of the greatest parts of being an open OS is that if you like the idea that someone else has came up with, you can take that idea and run with it.

just looking down at a widget on the homescreen would be even easier than this method if it was available

im not sure but all i was getting at is that if you like the widget im sure a dev on here would have the know how to pull the .apk from GDE and make it a stand alone widget for any android system?
Edit: thats only IF you payed for GDE...

I loved the slide to unlock i had on my Touch Pro And Pro 2, Didn't Really think about having it on the Hero when i had that but i Think with the big screen Slide 2 Unlock would look so nice! Any Ideas, Apps Other then FLYSCREEN(HORRIBLE RES) I WOULD LIKE to get the actually slide to unlock orignal app on my evo. Any ideas suggestions??
Lock 2.0 is what I use. I bought the paid version as I wanted more options for themese.

So i like what i see with the trail version, BUt what settings are you able to change when you purchase the full version, I dont like the slide button, and the top curtain isnt showing, and those icons are at the bottom, do those disappear when purchased and can you change the slider button

I tired lockbot the resolutions were poor, On everyone one of them, except the x10 swipe lock, The slide to unlock looked poorly put together But thanks for the suggest, Does have a good selection from the moment unlock, hero unlock, slide 2 unlock, but just didnt feel satisfied with it.
nevermind...
lockbot pro has been the best for me... gives you every lock option that we've seen for our android phones and the iphone like lock screen, best part is.. you can customize it on the fly from the app

well... thats because the ones your downloading are formatted smaller screens. You can change the background yourself....

just a plain boring dark background...

I have seen some really bad ass wallpapers, but everything i put on my phone makes it hard to see the icons and widgets. so i have just gone with the stock HTC dark wallpaper. Anybody else feel the same way?
I Just Keep Searching and Searching On Google Images until I Find one I Like and it doesnt Make anything hard to see. Hard to i find the right one ya know?

Yep. It's the one I use. I go between that and live Nexus for when I'm showing off the phone or just feeling something different.

where could one find that wallpaper?
You might want to try Socwall.com A lot of dark ones under abstract. That's where I got my current one. There are also plenty that are simpler than mine of course.

I have the same issue with the grapic glitches on the widgets -change my live wallpaper from weather to grass for the night changed it back to the weather today seems ok ---you can use a 3rd party app to take a screen shot drocap/shoot me etc search screen shots in market ---really don't thing there is much you can do if it is an issue with the device maybe get a replacement or hopefully an ota update will fix
shoot me - requires root right?!
just use ur digitial camera.
there's one or two threads about this already. general consensus is that the widgets don't know what to do with higher resolution. don't know if search is working right now but the threads are out there

Lockscreen Response FIX!

So I have been reading on all the "problems" that this device has, and I've stayed pretty quiet about all the griping over minor things. (coming from the Vibrant and the G2X makes me pretty resilient to "bugs".
Sadly no one ever really talked about how it is a software problem. Everyone wanted it to be hardware related even though the touchscreen works for every other app.
(hops off soapbox)
Here's the fix, it's quite simple.
1) go to HTC hub and download a new theme (mine was music lover)
2) apply the theme
3) reboot phone
4) pull the ring to unlock
5) go back to XDA and hit the thanks button
I've replaced mine so I don't have it right now.
Unresponsiveness is not just lockscreen issue. It was effecting every apps on mine. I couldn't type, get carousel effect etc. Does this solve all of these?

Looks like you didn't read carrefully As I said I've replaced mine so I don't have this issue on my new device. That means I can't test this.
I never had unresponsiveness in any other app. Maybe I just got a perfect Sensation... well almost perfect (s-on)
Mine is so damn responsive, sometimes when I scroll the application drawer a little bit it opens an application

I saw the 'unresonponsive' threads, and was somehwat amused, since my screen appears to behave normally...but for the heck of it, I tried the carousel, and could NOT get it to rotate fast AT ALL! Other regular nav/touches worked fine. I just tried this 'fix', and can now get fast rotation on carousel easily! It was worth clearing defaults (LancherPro) and playing with it to get this 'fix' working. Now, back to LPro!

I posted this on another thread but I noticed that if you swipe really fast on one screen, without moving between home screens, it will always spin.
Just swipe really fast.
tried this fix and didnt work

Can you just apply one of the themes already on the phone? busted did not work, no thanks here. Just dloaded and installed music lover, no go. Who said the problem works in every other app? mine does not. Anywhere you try to swipe/scroll. home screens, contacts, pictures, LOCK RING, fruit ninja.. registers as a touch( a lot of touches) instead of a swipe. I dont think a software update will fix it. If it would then it should work when i restore phone to factory defaults, it does not, yet it worked fine at those same settings when it was new.

That is the problem! lol that is NON responsive. Swipes are not registering as swipes, instead registers as a tap. Thats why an app opens. I open an app almost every time i try to scroll through the app drawer. NOT how it should be.

No it does not. Not on mine. Yours will get worse untill that doesnt work for you either.
Thank you for this.
Why you always gottqa be freaking negative? Even on the fre3vo thread you freaking out on people. I tested this on mine, 1 swipe and the carousel appears.

I have to agree this did make a difference in the 3D carousel spinning. I don't know about other issues as I have not had them yet.

Ok let me be positive and see if that helps. brb.. Nope, still no carousel. All i did was inform you that what you think is actually good, is in fact one of the issues. Our sensations should not be opening apps when swiping. My evo didnt, my N1 didnt, my iphone didnt, but the newest latest and greatest device does. I have a right to be negative. Sorry if i offended you.
