Using Go Lanucher EX with Go Locker, which provides for a different lock screen. Problem is the stock screen also come on so I have to go through 2 unlock screens..
Tried different things but no luck to total disable the stock one from launching.
I used NO LOCK from the Android Market. Very simple, very effective.
Thanks, that works great when just using the stock version only. But the stock screen still shows up when the go-locker version is enabled. Locks like an issue with the go-locker app..
Ya that's a issue with GoLocker, I'm using Widget Locker and doesn't show the stock lock screen at all. Plus they have the Sense 3.5 lock screen so I have the shortcuts
Problem my be resolved. I reported and after getting updates to Go Launcher and Go Locker, problem no longer happens.
Just an FYI - the "four key" go-locker widget has 4 shortcuts also. very nice..

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

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.

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

Hi,
I have question about Widgetlocker and ADWnotifier. Is anyone can get these work to show up count in lock screen? I use Go Launcher Pro. But Widgetlocker documentation said ADWnotifier works fine without ADWlauncher, how ever I can not get it work...
(Go launcher notification works fine in home screen but not in wideget locker lock screen. )
Any one using this?
Edit:- May be I am wrong earlier, It seems working though now. Still like to hear from others. [Earlier I has GoDialer, GoSMS on lock screen now I placed default dialer, sms application option from widgetlocker options which seems working)
Exact same setup. Go Launcher Pro, Widget Locker, and ADW Notifier. Works fine. If you run into problems again, just change the icons/apps on the lockscreen.
Hi Guys,
I have been trying to to add some widgets to the lock screen but cannot see the option do so. The main idea is to display the alarm along with the native clock icon and see the calendar events without having to unlock the device. I treid next lock screen but the behavior seemed a bit weird and I would like widgets on the stock lock screen itself. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks in advance.
Nope, no way to do that unfortunately. I don't think lock screen widgets have been a feature since 4.2
