ok guys i just got my 4g slide
i noticed that it doesnt have the same lockscreen as the sensation
is there a way to get this on my phone without root?
because i saw somewhere on phandroid.com that XDA has an installable app
for the EVO (not 3D) adnd i was wondering if anyone knows about an app for the slide
Well you're definitely not going to be able to do it without root since it's a system file. If you try to install an .apk over the existing system file it just won't work without root.
If you do find the .apk let me know cause I'd pay $10 for that right now, it's really all I feel like this phone is missing! I think, however, it's integrated into the framework of the phone - since you can customize through the personalization menu - and that simply installing an .apk won't work exactly as we would wish! We're probably going to have to wait for a custom ROM to come out which hopefully shouldn't be too long!

Have you tried computerkid23's rom? Brings back the standard android lockscreen bar and gets rid of this Sense 'ring'.

Use NoLock (or other app to disable the stock lockscreen) and get Agile Lock.

any aosp rom will have it (like cyanogenmod)
fresh rom has it, if you update using freshupdater
i don't know about the others
hmm dont use aosp stuff.
i will have to look i think it wad vaelpak that was senseless...
so does that mean its a sense thing that wont allow the sideways unlock?

It is a sense thing, but on any 2.2 Sense rom you can remove the HTCLockscreen and the original one will appear in its place. It works, but you can't use it for controlling Sense applications (music, calendar, sense alarm clock).

You have a couple options. If you have EStrongs file explorer and root and read/write turned on go to /system/app/ and delete htclockscreen.apk. or you can flash the attached file. this removes the HTC Sense lockscreen and just leaves the vanilla. If you use sense apps like alarm they wont work properly so you should download an alternative from the market like open alarm or AlarmKlock

Actually the alarm will work as long as you use the asop clock to set alarms...
Just wondering if there still isn't anyway to use the vanilla lock screen to answer calls yet?
oh i know i can just remove the apk, but oh god i hate the Vanilla lock screen... blah yuck.
ok first thing you'll say is the iphone style is nearly the same.
nope, it isnt is my answer.
You can also use widget locker on the market. it has an option for iPhone style screen unlocker.
Widget locker.....

Im trying to use vaelpaks new rom but I all I really need is the htc messenger because I hate the stock messages. Is there any way someone can give me a zip file for this please?
Im willing to donate.

If it's an AOSP ROM you won't be able to use Sense applications
Vael always puts side by side apps in his roms. Look in the vaelpak extras folder using root explorer or similar program. The HTC mms.apk(its the entire app even tho its called mms) should be in there

my phone keeps force closing like every 3 secs.. the last thing i remember doing was putting a theme on my phone. i running cyanogen mod 7. is there a way i can back up my settings for cyanogen mod and the notifaication bar? would it be possible for me to use titanium back up
Don't know if this will help, but you could download the sdk from android developer site , and at least see a stack trace.
That if you can enable debug mode on the phone.
What would that do? Is there s way I can back up my cm7 settings? Like the gestures and notification bar?

If there is an easy way, I'm not sure of it, but you should be doing a nandroid backup before installing themes and such. I know it's a pain (as in it takes 5 minutes of waiting), but nothing is better at saving your ass than having a good nandroid backup to restore.
I wish I would have known that before

I'm not a huge fan of the HTC messaging app an I'm kinda missing the vanilla gingerbread one. Anyone know a way of installing the vanilla one without root?
I've downloaded the mms.apk but the HTC app is installed under the same name so you can't uninstall/update it without SU. Is it possible to somehow repackage it as a new application that would run separately?
Go sms man

handcent sms works really well...
I like chompSMS, its a really solid alternative SMS app..... but I've actually been using the HTC messaging app lately, I love the way the conversation screen looks with the 3D sort of threads...
hello guys did anyone managed to get the motoblur apps to work on a custom rom? (file manager, quick office,motoprint,cytrix,) and btw i have all of the apps but couldnt manage to make them work any ideas please?
Blur apps will never work on a non blur ROM. They are dependent on some of the framework the blur has built in.
