I know many people here have reported lag associated with the stock lockscreen that comes with the device. I was curious to know that if anyone has tried a new lockscreen and seen better results? Such as installing a vanilla AOSP lockscreen in place of the blur one and see if it makes any difference?
I dont know if the lockscreen is an actual .apk you can change out easily or not, as i have not poked around myself, but i do know that when i owned my incredible many people were switching out there sense lockscreens for vanilla ones and it didnt seem like a big deal
+1 for this question / desire. I too would like to switch out the lockscreen (and indeed some other APKs/items) for "stock" if possible...
Well, I'll tell you this. I use ADW launcher and have not noticed any lag at the lock screen. I've also seen others using custom launchers that also have said they notice no lag.
I've used adw and launcher pro and still have lag on the lock screen on 2.2

Go look up Widget Locker. It's a sexy lockscreen widget that removes lag COMPLETELY (it actually disables the android lockscreen and you use it instead. Works fansmic, allows tons of widgets on it, including shortcuts to your favorite apps fast, and security locks.
$1.99 in market - search widget locker.
The only thing with Widget Locker -- in my experience -- is that turning on the phone sometimes shows the default lockscreen for a second before fading into widget locker.
Does the home button bypass widget locker?

No lag using flyscreen either.

If you disable screen lock in Location & Security in the settings, you don't get that issue anymore.
I had the same gripe about it until I found that option to uncheck.

I didn't find the option to disable screen lock, but I turned it off using extended controls widget, which should have the same effect. Either way, thanks for the tip!
Not that this has anything to do with your op but htc does not make the droidx as per your signature. Thought you might want to know.

I don't have this option, but I downloaded "No Lock" from the marketplace and it works great with Flyscreen. (I'm using the Froyo leak posted recently)
I've just got a HTC One in black and i LOVE IT, but i use poweramp and would like a way to use the poweramp widget on my lockscreen. I tried widgetlocker but i quite like face unlock now it works properly so i'd like to keep that function. Is it possible to add widgets to the sense lockscreen?
When 4.2.2 will arrive, yes
Hey everyone, i was just wondering if there is something on the hardware side of the One that doesnt allow me to install DashClock. I tried downloading it from the Play Store but it says my device is incompatible? Is it hardware, or is it because i have an international version.

Because DashClock only runs on 4.2.2 based rom

I'm running Android Revolution HD, which is basically HTC's stock 4.2.2, with Sense of course, and I'm having the same issue. I honestly think it's the Sense lockscreen that's the problem. In order to install Dashclock, you have to add it as a widget to one of your lockscreens. The problem is Sense only gives you the main lockscreen, no widgets, scrolling, etc.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm trying to get DashClock running on Sense roms now that we have 4.2.2 available on them. Tried it on an AOSP ROM (Slim Bean) and was very impressed.
Right now, TrickDroid 7.0.0 has android 4.2.2 and comes with an AOSP lockscreen option, but that lockscreen does not support widgets. While you cannot get DashClock from the Play Store, you can install Dashclock via APK and it works (in a reduced capacity) on the home screen.
As for getting DashClock on the lockscreen, right now I'm using WidgetLocker Lockscreen (paid app), but it's running in a reduced capacity there too. Looking into changing the lock screen to one that fully works, don't know how deep this rabbit hole goes, but I am a developer (not for Android, though .. yet) so I'll see what I can come up with.
If you want to play with it too, here is the APK.
I heard that if you rename htclockscreen.apk to something else, and you use apex or nova launcher, you will have stock android lockscreen, with all widgets you want

In TrickDroid 7.0.0 at least, you get the stock android lockscreen, but without any widget functionality. I'm thinking this could be related to settings in android.policy.jar

Nope. Just an empty lock screen

Yes i've installed the same Rom and have been trying to look for a solution to the problem :S
I'm on OrDroid 7.3.2 - 4.2.2 and I can use DashClock widget without problem with all extensions as you can see with this screenshot.
Classic install => download from Google Play and installed correctly
I don't use some other launcher, just stock launcher
I use DashClock on my N7 3G too
Go Settings > Personalize > Lockscreen > (scroll to end) Widgets (Settings -> Choose DashClock) > Apply.

I've been trying to get the DashClock to work on my phone, but I can't find the Widget in the lockscreen options. I am using SentinelROM and running 4.2.2
Got it working on the htc one ... but now have two clocks on the lockscreen .... any ideas on how to get rid of one ?
Same Issue
I'm running Android Revolution 12.2 on HTC One and I'm also getting the two clocks issue. I used Personalize->Lockscreen->Widgets->Dashclock to set it up, but cannot remove the original lock screen clock. I switched the dashclock time for a small analog clock and it looks better but that huge clock at the bottom takes up too much space. Any ideas?
I'll just leave this here.

I'm looking for a minimalistic widget (clock + weather), and came across dashclock. Its a very well executed open-source apk that syncs notifications into the homescreen widget (as well as lockscreen.) and has several extensions that can be added.
This Apk requires 4.2 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock&hl=en)
Im aware that on 4.1.2 (which im running), doesnt allow lockscreen widget, but I would like the homescreen widget of the same. Is there any way of installing this?
If not, any known alternatives?
Thanks in advance

I know this is a really old thread, but did you ever try Better Dashclock Widget? It's the exacto same one but it works for the home screen
So my boss' wife got a HTC One and she just upgraded to 4.3 and have now lost a feature where she was able to set a slideshow on her lock screen. As I understand this feature is not available in Sense 5.5 and I have been looking for widgets that could do this and found Photo Grid/Frame Widget, but she wants it to be fullscreen so do you guys know any simple and good lock screen that can do this task?
