[Q] Problem Customizing Lockscreen - HTC Sensation

I used No-Sense++ to clean my phone (S-OFF) and got a problem:
After all i can not customize the Sense-Lockscreen Startapps cause of a missing "Customize" Icon in my launcher settings since i use GO Launcher Ex.
I tried to get into the Lockscreen Settings through "Settings" -> "Customize (Personalisieren in german) but the menu item does not start and i am back on my homescreen.
Is there another way to get into the lockscreen settings?
thx for reading

when on the home screen you should be able to press the menu button and a bunch of options will appear you should see settings and/or preferences there.. should be about to sort something out from there

No it is not .
That's why I ask for an alternative way to configure it. I know the standart ways of doing so. Sorry if this sounds rude... I am xxxxx that I cannot configure it.

You can't access the Personalize on launchers. It just takes you back to home screen. have you tried using widgetlocker app?

Just tested it. That's not what I want
Anybody any clue where HTC saves the settings?

New Sense 3 Lockscrren functionality

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.

adjust bightness in lockscreen, custom notifactions window

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.

How can i change lockscreen shortcuts?

How can a change lockscreen shortcuts?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA Premium App
if you look the shortcuts on the lockscreen are the same as the ones on the stock dock. so if you change the dock shortcut this should also change the lockscreen shortcut..................sudeki300
Go to settings - personalize - lock screen - settings, you can change the apps there.

There is no option to change shortcuts :S And before I was able to make lock screen shortcuts in that menu now they must be same like in stock dock ... thats wired .. any ideas how can I set different shortcuts in lock screen without changing dock ?
I don't think you can, if you want to stick with the Sense launcher. It's an ICS thing, I'm afraid.

I believe we are talking about ice-cream sandwich here. There are only settings to change the lockscreen wallpapers.

I just dont get it why they remove that option from settings ? It doesnt make sense
Well yea but there was no dock in previous versions of Sense. So technically they didn't remove anything. It's just that you're stuck with having the same shortcuts on your dock, and you can only change it through your dock. I know, I found it weird at first too.

[Q] Lost app drawer icon on CM10

Hi guys,
I've searched and the only solutions I've found don't seem to apply.
I have a pretty out-of-the-box CM10 4.1.2 on Amaze 4G, and I've lost my applications icon (the circle with squares inside that lets you see all your applications) in the launcher at the bottom of the screen.
Now almost every post says "just long press on the desktop and select New" or to go to the menu, or to delete an icon and you will see a + where you can add a new one. Long-pressing for me just asks me if I want to change the wallpaper, menu options give me nothing, and deleting another icon does not give me a +. Long pressing in the system tray does nothing.
Launcher is Trebuchet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Install a new launcher like Nova or Apex

[Q] Any way to remove the default lock screen widget?

I have gone into security settings and enabled lock screen widgets. This allows me to add DashClock widget to the lockscreen, however, I am unable to remove the default weather/clock widget from the lock screen. "Remove" is greyed out and the only option when you grab it is to "edit" it. DashClock works fine and I can remove it like normal.
This wouldn't be too big of a deal but it won't let me move the default to a different screen, its locked to page one so to get to DashClock I have to swipe.. Well, if I have to swipe its pretty pointless to have lockscreen widgets, I can just swipe to unlock the phone and have my widget on my homescreen.
I was able to take some screenshots to demonstrate what I'm talking about - I'm "new" so I can't post the link but try this: imgur.com/a/oCfVt
I was unable to find a way myself. I've been using this lock screen app instead https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slidelock
Really nice. Lots off features.

subbed for answer
Has anyone found a solution to this?
Only way to do is ..
The only way to hide/disable the stock HTC weather/clock widget is if you have rooted devices with installed Xposed Framework. There is a module called "Sense 6 Lockscreen Modes" where you have an option to remove/hide the widget, in that way being able to have any other widget on your main lockscreen !
I researched about this a lot, and the most covenantway to disable/hide the widget was to apply this module, plus you can have it back any time you want, just by disabling that module!
