I like the fact of having a clock on the main screen, but don't like the fact that if I click on it by accident, it'll bring up the clock preferences to change the time. Is there a way to stop that from happening?
you can install RLTODAY plugin. customize it to use just the clock and program it not to have the onclick command. then you can disable your default clock.
a lil bit of work but not much!

On the main Clock with the Weather under it, is there a way to stop it from trying to sync/update the weather everytime you unlock the phone?
I can't find a setting for this anywhere, I like having the weather and clock there, but it needs to stop killing performance when it doesn't need to check weather but every hour or so.
Click on the weather/clock and hit menu and go to settings. You can turn off automatic update.
That only seems to turn it off on the weather application- not the clock.
Hello everyone -
I'm looking for a transparent lockscreen solution for my cappy. There's a thread about doing this for the Hero/Eris, but it requires a Sense odex. (tried to post URL but I'm not allowed as new user...)
My ideal lockscreen is transparent over the default home screen, so I can still see my standard clock and other home screen widgets. I've tried Widget Locker but I don't like it.
Any help or suggestions?

Could probably modify android.policy to remove lock screen entirely, lol. It's probably a ton more work to enable a sense-style lock.
Or install nolock and adjust your screen timeout to a low number. Pressing the power button would then go straight to your homescreen with full functionality and pressing it again would just turn the screen off.
*crap wrong section, mod plz move, sry all*
Is anyone else seeing this? Its fully rooted, everything works perfect, but Ive tried 4 different launchers now, and all of them crash the home screen (screen goes black after hitting "create/addshortcut", then resets to the home screen) when I create a shortcut.
I can put everything on the desktop other than shortcuts.
I first noticed it with LauncherPro when I was trying to change shortcuts on the toolbar (to get rid of the phone, contacts, etc) and every time I would try to change it, it would crash, but I was able to change the icon.
GDE is so far the only one that allows me to change icons on the tool bar, but still crashes if I try to add anything to the desktop.
I hope its something stupid Im missing, although, I have found ways around it, its jsut something thats botherin me like a pebble in my shoe lol
Well there is something missing on the NOOK that prevents this from happening. No home app will bring it back. I think the missing component is called "picker" or something like that and just like the market and other Gapps, someone will have to figure out how to add it.
Ah ok, as long as its something thats not working as intended. I must of missed it reading along here somewhere. I did find a way around it with Zeam and App organizer
Zeam allows you to drag icons to your tool bar, then you can drag them from the tool bar to the desktop with no crashing.
And app organizer allows Widgets that act as folders to be created, and widgets have no problem being added
Or you can just hold onto the program icon for a few secs and that will alow you to drag it the desktop.

I'm able to drag apps straight from the app drawer to the desktop with Zeam. Perhaps you're talking about something else though.
I found a work around for this. Since I've seen the question brought up every few days, I'll make a wiki article on this as well.
Requirements:
Desktop Visualizer: http://www.appbrain.com/app/desktop-visualizer/jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr
Icons for the shortcut you're making [not necessarily required, you can pick an existing app and use that apps icon for the shortcut as well]
Steps:
1. Long press desktop on launcher of choice
2. Add widget
3. Pick the desired widget size from the Desktop Visualizer options
4. Set your icon in Desktop Visualizer
5. Hit the Select Action button in Desktop Visualizer
6. Hit 'Other'
7. The menu you're now at should have the options that would normally be accessible from the shortcuts menu
8. Find the shortcut, finish up in DV, and voila, you're done.
Great tip, thanks ! Used it to toggle WiFi AdHoc/WiFi AP
Proxy Settings are not available
All shortcuts except the Proxy Settings shortcut are available.
Does that mean there is a way to access the WiFi settings directly ? Can only toggle so far.
I'm on ARHD 20.1 and I would love to have a cleaner look on my lockscreen and remove, the clock as well as the defaults apps which are in my dock. It used to be you could edit and choose the apps that are displayed in the lockscreen but now i can only edit the wallpaper.
Any ideas ?

The only way to remove the apps on the lockscreen is to use a different launcher and remove all apps from the dock in Sense before switching to the 3rd party launcher, or, don't have any apps in the dock if you want to use Sense. With regards to the clock on the lockscreen, the only way to remove it is to use ViperOne ROM which has an option to disable it by way of a built in Mod (which I did ask the Dev about releasing it as a standalone Mod as I don't want to use Viper, I had no reply though) ... The other workaround is to delete HTCLockScreen.apk and use the default, Android lockscreen, this has issues though such as having to unlock to answer a call, no message notifications other than in the notification pulldown and same goes for missed calls ... The one positive though is you would do away with the weather and the apps on your lockscreen, and, btw of running some command in terminal, you can enable the ability to have different widgets such as cLock which lets you change colours and depending on your wallpaper, would allow for the possibility of having no clock (purely by having, for example, a black wallpaper and setting cLock up so that the fonts are black, this would essentially hide the clock from your lockscreen.
I use Apex Launcher but I edited a lot of apk's icons manually and they are incorporated into my ROM, same with Mods. I edited icons, menus, alsorts lol to get it set up right and flashable in one go rather than flashing loads of different Mods, it looks the same on Sense does mine btw as the icons in my dock are actually edited right in the apk rather than just chaging them on Apex ... It looks like this:

How did you remove the carrier name?
Hi,
is it really impossible for the moment to have a normally-working lockscreen or "no lockscreen", that does not eat the battery on HTC One?
I have noticed by "OS monitor", that even if I set "HTC no-lockscreen" active - idlescreen process keeps accessing my phone constantly and eating the battery, because it accesses WeatherProvider all the time! I don't want to use weather at all while my phone is locked and besides, I have a third-party Elecon HD weather app that I do use.
When in my custom ROM I set AOSP lockscreen as active - I have to unlock my screen on incoming call and alarming, as described here.
Just want to make sure: no any solution for the moment - to MAKE HTC lockscreen not to access weather service to save battery OR to customize side-lockscreen so, that it would auto-unlock my phone when alarming or incoming call?
Hi guys
Wondered if someone might be able to help. I have just started using Minimalistic text, and I love it. What I want to do is use the clock widget on my lock screen. I am running ARHD 51. I know I cant add it to the first default lock screen on sense, but can add it to the side screen. But that is no good as it doesn't come up straight away when you wake the phone. I have managed to go into the system app folder and backed up the htc sense lock screen, and then uninstalled it, this has given me the default android lock screen. By doing this I was hoping I might be able to add widgets to the very first screen, but it wont let me change it at all. I want to try and avoid using a third party lock screen from the play store and stick with the originals if poss, I use the Greenpower app to toggle the Data and wifi when I lock my screen, but third party apps don't work to well with it.
So can anybody help me get the minimalistic text clock onto the lock screen.:fingers-crossed:
