Same thing I did...and I would assume you didn't make a NAND backup...just like me. Only solution you have is to reflash...sucks. Grab titanium backup from the market. It will put most of your stuff back. Only messes up a few widgets for me, and taking the off and putting them back on is easy.
Good luck!

I wonder if the lockscreen layout is setup for a higher resolution device (HVGA) instead of the Hero (QVGA). If that's so, then you could theoretically replace the XML layout files related to the lockscreen from a ROM where the lockscreen is displaying correctly into this ROM.

have you tried pushing HtcLockscreen.apk back to /system/app and rebooting ? or if you go to one of the modded DC roms regawmod (sp?) there are several customizations including the espresso rosie which if they did it correctly should include the espresso lockscreen so you can just flash it and get the stock lockscreen back. as far as how to get the vanilla android lockscreen going I can help with that.

I think I understand wht you are describing ....this lockscreen worked fine on DCv1.0 after removing the htclockscreen.apk and i was wondering if we could remove the correct file from there and port it over to this rom it would be fixed .......but i am just guessing, and would not know where to start
Just trying to not get this post buried....... I hope someone is willing to help see if there is a fix for this lockscreen.....I think I officially diagnosed myself with OCD....LOL
And do really appreciate any help.
Bret
I guess either too much going on....... or no fix........ I know this must be an issue for other people... has anyone got a suggestion or a "It cannot be fixed "
Thanks again for all the hard work and dedication!!!!!!!!!! Please help

I have yet to use the lockscreen that everyone wants simply because a. I had no idea it existed and b. I have no idea how to get it. if someone figures this out I am all over it lol. Wish i knew how to help.
the stock android lockscreen will not display right on new sprint 2.1 roms this has been stated in many forums already there is no fix
Guys, just use Android Commander. It does all the ADB commands in a GUI. Useful stuff, it is. If you know where to push/pull stuff and know to backup things before you delete them, you should really only need Nandroid to save you from being unable to boot (stuck on HTC screen, not bootloop).

I f you remove the htclockscreen.apk in this rom you will have this lockscreen with the same problem as it seems that it is setup for landscape or widescreen mode...... forgive me if i am wrong but i have a hard time think this cannot be fixed with all the awesome things that are being accomplished.. I will do whatever i can to help!
thanks a bunch!
I'm interested in this as well. I haven't messed with Android too much but I develop for a living. Does anyone know if the stock 2.1 lock screen is controlled at the source code level or via a configuration file such as an xml? If someone could point me in the right direction, I'll see if I could come up with a solution...
I am living with my deformed lock screen untill someone has a fix.. i hate that htc lock screen.

It's nothing like a honeycomb. It still is only possible to unlock by sliding finger down.
U can unlock in any directions

Not true my friend. I can unlock the screen in any directions.
See this other video:
I guess you haven't tried it. This is not like the other work in progress Honeycomb lockscreen project(s) on XDA forum.
This is using Lockbot Pro.
If you are going to do something like this, you might as well use ripple lock.
Also, the Themes and Apps section is just around the corner, and is a much more suitable place for this. This is not android development.
Thanks for the info fella

There is one problem on your video - the clock is moving too when you unlock screen. Nice try, but it's just a very simple mock.
Source code ??? anyone ?

Like I said, there are many other honeycomb unlock screen solution and i've tried some and they all end up making my phone lag or only work sometime or some which u must flash via OR caused my phone to boot loop.
So far this solution works pretty well for me.
I don't mind the clock moving along because after u unlock the screen, the clock from the lock screen disappear. So it does not matter to me.
Ripple lock works very well, on my SGSII atleast and looks better too.
As I continue to make random tweaks, they will be posted here.
All of these tweaks are built on KD1, you have been warned. It's possible that they may work on KG2, but I have not tested them, and it's very likely that they won't work on KG2.
All Tweaks v1.1 (Volume Tweak, Settings, Notifications, Joystick & 10 Second Notification LED Flash tweaks ):
http://www.multiupload.com/75796T1NQS
Volume Rocker vibrate and silent tweak
All credit to the original patch from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016556, I just added it to the framework.jar from KD1. This adds both the silent and vibrate options to your volume rocker, ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE VIBRATE SET TO "ALWAYS" OR "ONLY IN SILENT MODE" IN SETTINGS.
AS FAR AS I KNOW, THIS ONLY WORKS ON KD1.
I'm using/working on/with GingerClonev2, therefore I'm working with a KD1 framework.jar. If people care enough, I suppose I could patch the KG2 framework as well, but as of now it's bedtime, as I have to get up for work in the morning.
This should be CWM flashable, just flash and go, don't wipe, don't pass go, don't collect $200 (even if you really want to).

Full Bat & USB DEBUG & Joystick enable Tweak
This next tweak was just random stuff that bothered me. This will disable the "full battery notification" as well as the constant USB debugging notification.
Also, as the only real improvement with KG2 was the option to disable the optical joystick, this integrates that option into KD1, if you want to use this option, be sure to flash the Settings app below to control that option as well.
This may or may not work on KG2, if you're on KG2, test at your own risk, make a backup first

Settings Tweak
This is a settings.apk that has the DriveSmart, Notification Popup, Theme Manager, and Software Update menus removed, allowing the safe removal of those apps, as they are not really necessary/useful
This is a modified version of the KG2 settings, as it integrates the Joystick disable option, therefore it *should* work on KD1 and KG2. currently running on KD1.

10 Second LED Flash Tweak
As Samsung decided we only needed 1 min reminders that we have something to look at, many people (including myself) missed notifications frequently. Well no more! This tweak will change the flash rate from 1 min to 10 seconds.

Dw: I need more constructive criticism than that. What specifically should I change to make it more organized?
i think he means like put each section in a gray box so it looks more organized by section instead of writing [volume].......[\volume] but i think its rather organized but could be a little better. if you just take the time to read then you can understand whats going on ha
I'l do that when I get home, was trying to post last night before bed

Turns out, my brain doesn't really function very well after a long day, I couldn't find the box button, not realizing it was the quote box. I'll update the OP, thanks for the suggestions, they are noted and appreciated.
EDIT: OP updated with quote boxes, should be better organized now.
If there are any experienced kernel devs who wanna help out with porting the SK4G Kernel to 2.6.35, that would make CM much easier to port.
How do I install the settings tweaks in order to enable the option to disable the optical trackpad?
You can either flash the full package, or the joystick/bat/usb debugging and settings tweaks from the OP

I tried that, I can't find the joystick setting. I'm using a stock ROM that I ODIN'd last night back to KG1. Could that be why? Where would I find the setting if it's there? Perhaps I'm just not noticing it.
There's only KD1 and KG2, there's no KG1. It should be in Settings>Accessibility>Enable optical joystick
I have a request. The stock messaging app, (and notification popups and SocialNetworkingService Composer) doesn't recognize the enter key as well, the send key. Can that be fixed (even if just on one of them)?
I don't use any of those pieces, can you describe the issue in more detail? What should happen, and what does happen?
It's the stock messaging app on the stock kd1 firmware that ships with the sidekick. Basically, pressing the enter key on the keyboard gives a newline, instead of sending the message.

I believe you can enable that option in the settings of the stock messaging app.. but I'm using aosp MMS so I'm not positive
Edit: yeaa i dont think the sidekick messaging app allows that..
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
I dont know if this can be done though the sidekick has smooth transitions and such just the only thing that looks choppy is the notifications bar when you pull down which does seem a little choppy while other devices are smooth as butter. can this be tweaked on the sidekick?
Just curious... why would anyone ever want to disable the track-pad "joystick"? I mean, maybe if the keyboard had arrow keys like it should, but even then, it's pretty recessed and I've never hit it by accident, so why?
I figured the knowledgeable people here could point me to apps (that require root or not) that do things that xposed used to do but now can't:
•Slide on notification bar for brightness (not an actual slider just able to slide)
•lockscreen app targets
•edit quick toggles in any way shape or form
•edit nav bar height
•change recents button into a menu button and remove three dot menus
•advanced power menu options
any info is appreciated!

I wouldn't say it's useless. The developer has stated if he can find a way to bring it to Lollipop, that he will. Rather it's just unusable for now.
Sent from my Nexus 5 on Lollipop 5.0
Lollipop just came out.
Its going to take time to get get custom roms and features rolling
Users need to stop with the [Request] threads. You want something bad enough, learn to dev and make it happen. MOD EDITED - BE RESPECTFUL!!!
Most of the things you mentioned have to be a system modification not an app. Check out the lollipop custom ROMs, some of them have a few of the features you desire. It might be a few months to get Xposed working if possible even. You could always revert to 4.4.4 too.

Perhaps you can share the apps you found so far? Im following your thread bro.
Xposed is just so good, it became a must in my phone. I want so many features from it and its modules too
I search for xposed at least 3 times per day and i didnt find any useful information but a reply of rov89 a month ago saying it was going to be hard to merge xposed to lollipop because of new ART runtime. So i find this post very useful as we can share temporary patches until xposed is released for lollipop.
* Intelli3G: Your internet is set to EDGE while phone is locked, but when you unlock it you get 3G/4G (until you lock)
* Lots of gravitybox features:
-change battery icon and clock position in the info bar ( percentage + circle battery!)
-flash activated when you pulse the lockscreen for 3secs (stupid ye but very useful for me)
* Burnt toast: that was so cool (show app icon in toast--> superSU permissions)
*App settings: so i can put safari in immersive mode
Cant remember more at the moment but if you know any app with similar features post them here please
For battery percent:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
On Lollipop the percentage is visible even with full battery.
You know if Xposed doesn't come back I am kinda okay with it. Towards the end of Kitkat it seemed like any really useful app that came out needed Xposed to run. It was like as if app creators ran straight towards Xposed instead of using different methods. I know for some things you needed to be able to hack further than root allows but I would guess that a few Xposed modules could have achieved the same result through different means. I'm probably wrong though.
As well intentioned as this thread was, it still got almost completely derailed... Shame.
One feature I'm looking forward to is customizing the slides on Lock screen.
Dialer and camera shortcuts are great but I am so spoiled now.

Read the forum rules regarding member conduct - I have no problem actioning those who do post disrespectfully!
This is NOT a damn social site..stick to G+ for your immature flaming
This is a development site and as such keep this thread on topic
People are looking for alternate solutions while Xposed is being worked on to be ART compatible
So either contribute or don't post!

Is there any way to theme icons without a launcher? As far as I know, no launchers support Google Now (which I really like having as a screen), which is, unfortunately, my biggest deterrent. While devs adjust to the finer points of ART, I really, really miss my icons. ;_;

Thanks for the suggestion. I know that's possible with root and substratum but I was looking for a solution without rooting, not because I'm against it but because I just don't need to for any other reason right now. I'll try it on a back up phone and who knows, I may like it better but I'm wondering if it's possible to trick the UI into changing it. There must be some check for every wallpaper applied and if you hit the right flags, it switches. I'd like to try and figure out what it is.
