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?

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.

to change the bar on the bottome of sense ROMs? It seems like such a waste of space to have a HUGE phone button and a "add to home" button that isn't needed. I know I could install launcherpro or ADW...but I like the sense widgets just not the bottom bar.
I have no idea if it is possible, but if it is the Devs here at XDA can do it

The screenshot with 5 icons was actually LauncherPro and not sense. You can actually change the launcher to look however you want as long as the png file is the same size as the default launcher. The limitation however is that you cant change how the 3 buttons work on the launcher (app drawer, phone and +).
thats a bummer, I like launcher pro but have a few issues with it:
1. I have an icon on my screen that tells me when I have new SMS and the LauncherPro has an icon in the bar, but it doesn't say if there is a new msg. Kind of redundant to have both.
2. I like the sense widgets, LP widgets are ok but I prefer the Sense twitter/facebook widget, the calendar and the favorites.
Actually, yes! I will be releasing sense bar mods this week. The first one will be a simple app drawer button in the middle. Afterwards, I will be releasing mods that allow third party apps to launch from sense buttons. Here is a simple preview of what I have so far. More to come.

Well this is interesting!!! My guess is your doing some pretty heavy recoding, will be nice to see the end results. Keep up the good work!
that would really make my day
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.

Is it possible to change a app icon on the lockscreen to a widget?
more importantly the wifi hotspot settings button.
I think if you include it on the bottom of the 4 places that HTC uses, they should appear on the lockscreen

The lockscreen only shows what app icons are currently in your dock, and since you can't put widgets in your your dock it won't work.
Try widgetlocker app if its something you really need. It's a paid app but worth it, lots of cool options.

Use WidgetLocker from Play market. It might have that feature.
Right now I'm using Notification Toggle from the Play store.. and there are several other apps that do the same thing.. Lets you put many different settings in your notification pull-down which you can access from lock screen
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:

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.

For me, its 3G video calling and more refined UI
Options to customise the menu bar at the bottom. So always have the home button, but choose if back button, app list visible. Want the touchwiz screenshot button? Hold the menu bar, select the 'mini widget' and drop it there. Want the touchwiz popup app menu? Hold and select.
Want a mini widget that always shows if there's a new email and count? Choose if you want that notification to pop up in the usual notification area, or if a fixed point on the menu bar (tool bar?).
The popup settings bar, with the clock/notifications. Allow that to be customised too. Choose if you want it drag down from the top, pop up from the bottom and how (kinda built in Cyanogen features), and again, if you want mini-widgets on that to turn on/off wifi/bluetooth. The stuff that's there, but not standardised. Then, if Samsung/HTC want to customise their phones/tablets, it's just those mini-widgets they default to, to get the look they want. If you don't like it, you remove them and use standard halo theme. (or select more featured ones from the play store).
So if you want a really clean look, you can hide all those buttons, and use gestures (press and hold the menu bar, show the possible widgets, with settings per widget on which gesture to activate).
-rotatable home/lockscreen
-very fast screen orientation
-changeable color themes
-customizable lockscreen and notification bar
-more visual (transition)effects
