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?

He's been a member for like 5 - 6 years and has 130 posts I'm inclined to believe that that he's just a complete newb.
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?

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.

[Q] Change lockscreen shortcuts?

Is there a way to change the 4 shortcuts on the lockscreen? You'd think there'd be a way to change them.

You have to be using Rosie as your launcher to do so. You go to personalize and then to the lockscreen option. Then from their you can click the tab one the bottom to replace the shortcuts. There ya go. You're welcome.

As they said: menu-personalize-lockscreen-settings-click the icon to change-click the icon to replace-apply settings.
Done.

Ok so the thing that's bonky is that I have a ROM that's striped of Sense except for a couple things. Therefore we can't alter the lockscreen through the "Personalize" menu.
Is there a way to either wipe all the shortcuts off of there, or alter it via other means?

Nope, you need the sense menus to do it.

Lockscreen wallpaper

Hi,
Is there any way to keep a different wallpaper on lockscreen vs your homescreen?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

There use to be in Sense 2.x, but not any more with Sense's stock lockscreen. I haven't used them to know, but there might be a way to set a different lockscreen wallpaper on a 3rd party lockscreen like widget locker, though it would significantly slow down unlocking your phone.

It doesn't appear that you can (you used to be able to on the older version of Sense). If you go into Personalize > Lock Screen, they have one called "Wallpaper" but when you hit Settings... it only allows you to choose the app shortcuts. By the name I would have assumed it would be included but perhaps it was overlooked like other small things in Sense 3.0?

Ah. Ok. It seems like a mistake though I'm gonna use ripple lock. It's fast, looks pretty and let's me changemy lockscreen

[Q] Remove Lock Screen Wallpaper

I'm running a (more or less) stock / unrooted AT&T Skyrocket. I upgraded from the Infuse 4G. It was easy to remove the lock screen wallpaper on it, as it was simply done by setting lock screen wallpaper to none. The option isn't on the Skyrocket. Is there a way to remove the lock screen wallpaper (So live wallpaper is shown) without running a second locker?
I tried Go Locker, and occasionally it would cause me to have to unlock 2 screens... I'd prefer not to fix one problem by creating another. Any help is greatly appreciated...and yes I searched but no one has asked this before.

Menu... Settings... Display.... Screen Display... Lockscreen Wallpaper. You can set to various Wallpaper Gallery images or image in your Gallery. I'm on 2.3.6 so not sure if this option exists on 2.3.5 guessing it does as well.

Do what the Guy says above. If you're like me and can't stand the stock lockscreen swipe, try widget locker... really nice customizable lockscreen app. You can completely customize the lockscreen. Slider style, wallpaper brighthtness and all.
And it disables the stock lockscreen.

I want the lock screen, I use the pattern lock.
I want to REMOVE the wallpaper. I want the lock screen translucent like it was on my infuse. The option to set a gallery image is there. But the "none" option is missing.

I suppose maybe I should pay someone to create an app that does this.

Search for transparent lock screen zip
I know it exists...it is on most of the T-Mobile roms

Widgets on the lockscreen

Is it possible to change a app icon on the lockscreen to a widget?
more importantly the wifi hotspot settings button.

I think if you include it on the bottom of the 4 places that HTC uses, they should appear on the lockscreen

The lockscreen only shows what app icons are currently in your dock, and since you can't put widgets in your your dock it won't work.
Try widgetlocker app if its something you really need. It's a paid app but worth it, lots of cool options.

Use WidgetLocker from Play market. It might have that feature.

Right now I'm using Notification Toggle from the Play store.. and there are several other apps that do the same thing.. Lets you put many different settings in your notification pull-down which you can access from lock screen
