Hello
I have WidgetLocker installed as my main lockscreen so I'd like to disable or freeze the HTC Sense lockscreen.
I've tried
Code:
pm disable com.htc.lockscreen
and HTC Lock Screen under all running services is showing up as grey. However sometimes when I receive calls or plug in the USB cable, the sense lockscreen would show up instead of widgetlocker.
Could anyone advice me on how to disable the sense lockscreen?
Same issue I would really like to know, is the lock screen part of system files

Have you tried the NoLock App from the market?
I'll give it a quick try now.
EDIT: It seems to be working, although the problem I had wasn't consistent so I'm gonna need more testing.
Thanks.
Try No Lock from market
Download AntiLock and that will let you use a pattern lock. If you enter the pattern lock you will however have to swipe, but 95% of the time it hides it.

wondering if the was a apk or something to get the HTC desire's lock screen on the Mesmerize?
could I just install this apk file or would I have to edit it?

As that link goes to a file called "VillainROM10.2-DesireLockScreen-signed.zip" I would highly not recommend flashing that as it has the words "Desire" & "ROM" in it.

Luckily the package only contains a system/app folder with HtcLockScreen.apk in it. Also, the update script contains compatibility code, so it probably won't even work. If it does, it won't do anything but copy the apk over so it shouldn't hurt anything.
This is what the update script looks like:
assert compatible_with("0.2") == "true"
assert getprop("ro.product.device") == "hero"
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
show_progress 0.2 10
---EDIT--
The apk itself is also mdpi, so even if you made it work it would look like crap.
well i kind of got what i wanted though lock bot but I have a problem
I downloaded lock bot free and i got it set up but for some reason when my screen goes blank the first time I try tuning it on it always flashes to the mesmerize lockscreen then flashes to the lockbot screen the goes blank then when i turn the screen on the 2nd time it goes to lockbot screen and lets me unlock it then it goes to mesmerize lockscreen so I have to deal with 2 lock screens. anyone no whats up?

You are running an app that works in conjunction with your lock screen and doesn't replace it. What you want is to either turn your stock lock screen off, which is another app, and then run this app to use your own lock screen.
I'm just theorizing here, but it looks good on paper.
which app would u suggest to turn off the stock lock screen? or is there a all in one?
I've had that problem with EVERY lock screen replacement i've tried on the mes. Lockbot has an option that you check to disable the stock lock screen. Doesn't matter it always comes back and double locks the phone. It seems completely random. It can work right for hours and suddenly that damn stock lock comes back for a few unlocks and then normal again.
It also seems the longer you have a lock app on there as time passes the stock screen starts coming back more and more.
I wish i could uninstall the damn stock screen completely so it wasn't there at all as there seems to be not one locking app that works on this phone correctly.
widget locker is what I use... You can have the HTC sense lockscreen, iphone, or have your own customizable lock screen where you can set any shortcut as a sliding lockscreen. Very cool app!
It's $1.99 but well worth it IMO

But widget locker still has that problem. I tried it last week and gave up on it because no matter what it would show the normal lockscreen for about a second before widget locker would show up.
I've been using No Lock with a pattern lock enabled, I use the widget to unlock it and bypass the lockscreen completely and then if I lock it it only shows the pattern lock instead of the crappy stock lockscreen.

That usually only happens to me on boot... If you wait a sec it goes away but yeah it would be nice if you never saw it

I also just installed the NoLED tweak, it's pretty much my lockscreen. Displays icons and stuff on an otherwise black screen while my phone is locked like for notifications, then pressing the back button takes you to my pattern lock and then the homescreen. I like it.

I've also been using no lock widget and it's working great - no more lock screen for me.
I've tried running some other lock screens because i hate the stock one. none of them work. They work for awhile and then suddenly you'll use the new one and the stock one will be there after words so essentially the phone is double locking.
Anyone know a way to fix this so i can use a different lock screen and not have it double lock.
I use lock 2.0 its $2 on the market and i never had the double lock issue. If you use a task killer make sure that you exclude it
I find that if you install NoLock from the market and enable a pattern lock it disables the stock lockscreen, at least in my experience.
if you just enable a pattern lock it will disable the default one
I use widgetlocker.
It's $2 on the market, and development is active on it.
It works very nicely too, and allows you to clutter your lock screen with widgets. lol

I just got this and installed it and within the first hr i had 2 lock screens anyway around this i really want this working i cant stand the oem lock screen.
If you're still looking for a fix, try out GOTO Lockscreen. I switched from my NoLock idea to it, it does a good job of keeping the crappy stock lockscreen away.
It has a nice rotary slider with shortcuts at intervals on the slider, and a couple of other nice features. I think you would like it.

Does anyone know of a widget that can toggle the lock screen pattern on or off? I tried this one called Fantasy LockScreen which doesn't work on Froyo 2.2.
Code:
market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.fantasylockscreen
try widgetsoid, it has a toggle for pattern lock along with many others.

I have Widgetsoid and the pattern lock widget doesn't do what I want.
Basically I'd like something like an auto-rotate on/off setting but for the lock screen pattern. So, if I'm at home, I'd toggle the lock pattern off and toggle it back on when I go out (as long as I remember).
i think extended controls in the market does this....i've never used it but the option is there to enable and disable the lockscreen pattern
Thanks planedoc, I tried Extended Controls but the lockscreen pattern widget doesn't work in 2.2. Google disabled access to toggling that option in the Froyo update.
'No Lock' works with Froyo - it simply overrides the screen lock.
Or DelayedLock is under development - it overrides the screen lock for a predefined time interval.
DelayedLock does allow 2.2 users to override the lock screen pattern/password, although it does bother me that now every button on my phone will wake it up leaving it prone to accidental pocket presses.
There also doesn't seem to be a way to retain the slide to unlock, but only disable the pattern/pass lock from what the dev said.
The app's built-in simple slide lock feature is nice, but not very attractive coming from the Sense UI screen slide lock. I posted suggestions in the dev's original post about DelayedLock.
I actually found another app called "Extend Lock Time" (for Sense only?) which allows you to specify a longer screen pattern/password timeout in seconds. It's very simplistic - could use a UI update to make changing values easier - but will work for now.
I have been using lockpattern onoff which i got from the market. Im using it on cm7 om my nexus and works great for me. I dont know if this is what u were looking for or not. It should work on 2.2 cuz i was using with rods miui rom and worked for me.
LockPattern OnOff doesn't seem to work with the stock Sense ROM (UK version) on 2.2 for now... hopefully someone will find a way around it.
Hey i use widget locker and i find it annoying sometimes when i use my phone that i see the sense lock screen before my widget locker screen pops up. i thought i can solve this by disabling the sense lock screen which works but now i can't answer calls. any solutions?

In widget locker there's a setting in advanced settings for root users that fixes that if your rooted

Are you still envy of the brilliant lock screen of Android 3.0? Now, as long as your phone is Android system, you will be able to experience the beauty of the lock screen. Only use one button, you can choose to use this ripple lock screen or system default screen.
Drag the inside circle to the outside circle can unlock screen.
hope u will like it~~
it does exactly what it says and looks great doing it. i dont like the whole points system tho. otherwide i give this app 9 out of 10. good job.

Just download it, open a file explorer, go to it's download location (wherever you downloaded it to) and click on it. Also remember to allow installation of non-market apps in the settings. Another way would to just search for it on the market. Market link - (Free) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free&feature=search_result ; (Paid) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen&feature=search_result .
This is pretty smooth,
One thing I thought was odd was that in your setup you have an Ad. While not odd in itself, you need to make money somehow. The ad was in Chinese, or Japanese, or some other symbol language.
I'd probably be more inclined to click an ad I could read, just a heads up.
One of the best lock-app. 10/10

Nice lock screen app, but the short cut settings are very unstable. Sometimes they work, most times they don't...
Like This . Thank You .
Tested the free version an view minutes and bought the app. Great look screen!
I like it but the use of a lockscreen is destroyed when just a home button exits the lock.
Great job dev!

Hey dev, I have a small glitch. Using the ripple lock and the phone was in sleep mode my alarm went off. I had no way of turning the alarm off. Nothing popped up giving me the option to turn the alarm off. The phone woke up locked but that was it. I was using the stock alarm if that matters.
Thanks.

Is there a way to disable the volume buttons? Right now when the volume buttons are pushed the screen turns on and makes a beep sound
i really love ripplelock, but i have one problem:
if i put my phone in airplanemode at night (to save some battery) and turn off airplanemode at the next morning, usualy the PIN-input-screen pops up. But if i install ripple lock, the PIN-input-screen doesnt pop up, regardless of the chosen double-lockscreen method. only while system security lock is enabled, the PIN-input-screen pops up, but this way i get an double lockscreen.
The only version, which works properly for me without this issue is v2.2, evrey other version above 2.2 has the descriped bug. Thats why i stick with this version and hope this issue will be fixed soon.
(Also I would love to see that the home-button doesnt unlock anymore, while the status-bar is hidden (one of two main reasons, why i use ripple lock instead of the modded system lockscreen, which looks nearly the same except for the visible status-bar and that the lock icon functions only as a slider).)
BTW: I'm on an rooted Desire HD with cm7
Pretty cool app. Slight bugs:
1st time I had a notification written in Chinese or something. Then came up in English after I got through that one. Maybe or maybe not a bug; maybe you could ask the user 1st time setup which language to use.
2nd bug is that I came out of standby and was at the homescreen and then the lockscreen loaded up a second or two later. Maybe it's my midrange phone (Galaxy Ace) causing it to be a bit laggy.
Otherwise pretty awesome app.
I love the look of honeycomb especially the lockscreen. I've been using Ripple Lock for about 3 weeks now. So far so good. Thank you Dev!
