Hi folks, you have no Q&A section so I'll post in here,
missus has Incredible S wont let me root it, but she wants to use the pattern lock screen but when she does the sense lock screen sits on top anyway of stopping it or removing it without root???? as i said she wont let me root or flash custom rom so pretty much up a river with no paddles as far as i can think, any help much appreciated.
she tried magic locker, no lock ect she just a pain and wants to use the pattern lock with the dots lol
I'll take that as a no then lol
Widget locker? Give that a try
I'm confused, it's just the sense lockscreen on top. Even all the other roms/versions will have aosp lockscreen on top before you get to the pattern OR sense lockscreen on top. Using widgetlocker would produce the same result. You have to go through unlocking it before getting to the pattern. so I'm a bit confused as to what you want exactly, and just out of curiousity.. how would you go about doing this if you rooted her phone?
Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but Go launcher has an add on called GO Locker with some different customizations.

I have been searching for widgets to lock/unlock the pattern lock like in 2.1. I have tried a lot of the widgets in the market and none of them work for 2.2. Does anyone have any suggestions to use? Right now I have to keep going settings/security and redraw the pattern just to unlock it.

Are you talking about the 9 button trace pattern thing? I don't use it, but if that's what you're talking about, why don't you just disable it, and create a lockscreen gesture in whatever trace pattern you want, no sliders, assuming you're on 6.1 stable....
I'm exactly in the same case you were. Since my update from 2.1 to 2.3.3 none of all the widgets I've tried manage to do the job. And each time I'm forced to redraw it to enable or disable.
Did any of you find a solution ?
PS : I used to do it with SwitchPro widget, tried with Beautiful widget and also with UnlockPattern Toggle.

Settings>Location & Security>Set up screen lock
Edit: And if your on CM7 Settings>Cyanogenmod Settings>Lockscreen>And then the top option to disable the regular lockscreen

yeah thank for your quick answer.
But unfortunatly I already knew this.
I'm just looking for a way to bypass the new security rules to do it with a widget. Just switch on/off.
Actually I'm on X10 2.3.3 rooted? But the original ask was the same.
Hello Mr Developer people.
I recently flashed the sense 3 stuff to my phone as I heard you could put widgets on your home screen. I was tired of using the fake lock screens that where laggy and didnt work correctly.
I was kind of hoping that the HTC sense would have there agenda widget as a selectable option but you cant.
Would it be possible for someone to make something like this?
Cheers

hi, i'd like to know a way to change lockscreen
i've tried market software, as go locker and magic locker,
the first one, sometimes makes original lockscreen to appear
the second one, makes wake on a little slower
i know the best would be widget locker, but why spend 2 euros, when there isn't a 100% guarantee default locker won't appear? (in some comments on market, people say sometimes it appears)
using one of those software with a software like "no lock" or those who disable default screen, would be a good idea? there could be conflicts?
isn't there a way to eradicate lockers from framework, so problem is resolved, and those software can be used without problems?
(for what i have understood they add the lock effect to the launcher, so without a lockscreen would appear launcher directly)
i was also searching for a guide to make a customized default locker... but it seems an hard argument to find something on... couldn't find any guide on this particular problem...
i'm not just talking about wallpaper, those can be changed easily, talking about adding links to apps (dont think it would be difficult to copy the slider for unlocking, and make it an apk link or similar)
probably my searches are wrong, but i always found tutorials on how using market software like widget locker etc...
we can change anything in android, is lockscreen that hard to customize????????
thanks for replys
If you are rooted and using a CM7 based rom you can disable the default lockscreen completely so you won't have that problem widgerlocker is the best thing to use for what you are wanting. Go locker is what I use but they are still working on it and don't have custom app links

How, exactly? Would it apply to MIUI, too, which I understand is CM based?
Would this give me the option to unlock the screen only with a pattern, rather than with the MIUI unlocker first and then with a pattern?
Thanks
In CM7 you can go into CM settings--> tablet tweaks and check disable lockscreen ... I couldn't tell you about MIUI because it isn't available on my phone As far as disabling the lockscreen and still using a pattern to unlock I don't know what would happen because I don't use the pattern unlock .

Hi guys,
Is there a way to replace the icons used for short cuts on the sense 5 lock screen? Im using nova launcher with a custom icon pack and would LOVE the icons on the lock screen to match.
I would use a custom lock screen, but all the ones I've come across don't allow you to place a lock screen widget like NILS on the lock screen.
Thanks,
J

If you're rooted you can just swap out the icons in the apk's to the ones you want ... Make sure you open the apk with something like 7zip and drag in your new icons, that way you won't have to decompile the apk.
Is it possible without root?
I've seem some lock screen apps, but don't know how good they are.
There is an app in the play store that allows you to change your icons without rooting but I can't remember the name ... I've never used it so I couldn't vouch for it changing them on the lockscreen but I don't see why it wouldn't.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=en ... There's that app but I have no idea whether it would show icon changes on the lockscreen awsell, sorry.
This worked perfectly. I had to change the icons and then set them before activating nova launcher.

Glad the app worked for you guys
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:
