Change Lockscreen Background - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, I have looked all over the place and can't figure out how to change the lockscreen on my Evo. I am currently using the Fresh 0.3 ROM with the Advanced Launcher.

To the first page travel you will....

You can't.

I can't believe that no one on this forum hasn't figured this one out. Did HTC really mess it up that bad?

What do you want to change?
On the Hero, you could have a different wallpaper on the home screen than what was on the lockscreen.
That is not possible on the Evo.

Install Lockbot.

with lockbot u can have a different lockscreen but it comes with issues
i havent tested with the alarm going off but i did notice these
no more media player controls on lockscreen
and no more slide to answer on incoming calls...

Sense Rom without HTC lockscreen

Does anybody know of any Newsense RomĀ“s with the standart AOSP lockscreen..?
Hate the pulldown lockscreen the comes with sandart HTC Rom..!!
Widget locker will do what you want. Then you can chose and customize your lockscreen
Thanks for the answer Lennyz.
Is there a way to accomplish this without installing a new app? I.e. enabling Android's standard lock screen and disabling, preferably removing the HTC lock screen?
Remove the sense lockscreen apk before flashing the rom, this will give the stock lockscreen except when answering calls. There is however a chance it also masses up the alarm but I'm not sure about that.

Thanks. The main reason why I was asking this was because I keep answering calls in my pocket. .
I currently use WidgetLocker and its great. I only wish there was an easy way to revert to stock lock screen without having to use third-party apps.
How do you answer calls in your pocket - magic legs?!?!
Never had an issue personally but I have a case

[Q] Warm Z - Lockscreen

I'm looking for some way to get music/audio controls on the lockscreen for Myn's WarmZ. Its a small feature but one that I find is terribly annoying not to have now that its gone after switching over. Are there any mods around that provide this functionality with Warm Z?
I don't believe you can with the Sense lock screen, but you could try a replacement lock screen like Widget Locker. Costs a couple bucks but it does exactly what you're describing.

Lock Screen mod?

hi there, nobody posted any lock app thread yet so here it goes.
I tried Go unlock but i think it hogs the resources over time and become laggy.
anyone else can recommend a sturdy one to install?
or any good rooting mod for this to make it 100% smooth?

Try the MIUI lock screen. They made it free and available through Play Store. You have tons of styles, themes, and all you ever wanted from a lock screen..
thanks, tried MIUI just now.
It has the 3dot menu on the lock screen after setting lock screen.
so i suppose the 3dot menu mod will get rid of this.
still feel bit un-smooth with MIUI tho.
some reason the sense one is the best so far
Try this.

Does someone know a metro-style lockscreen that runs stable and hasn't got the 3dots menu enabled? I just tried a few but there was none that really worked. Unfortanetly, for I love the tiles' look alot.
Another question: is it possible to change the icons of apps on WidgetLocker? And is the 3dots menu disabled?

I run widget locker myself, lets you have all sorts of different unlockers as well as run widgets and separate wall paper, umoung other features, all on the lock screen.

Hello,
I use widgetlocker on my One X. Yes, you can change the icons af the apps. Also there is no "3dots menu".
When you install adwnotifier you also get notification-count numbers on the lockscreen like in the normal sense lockscreen (for telephone, SMS, Mail[GMail and K9]).
I like it very much and use it in combination with apex launcher on stock rom without root.
Only the sense3 lockscreen from widgetlocker is a little laggy at my phone.
Thank you. I've installed WidgetLocker now and I like it. One problem though: I've got some icons in .png format that work great with Apex Launcher. But if I try to add them in WidgetLocker, they'll get a black background instead of a transparent one. So, how can I use these icons?

Lock Screen shortcuts disappear every now and then

Ok, like the title suggests. The Lock screen shortcuts for Phone/Email/SMS and camera disappear every once in a while. They are still enabled in the settings menu.
It happened once before, i rebooted and they came back. But now the shortcuts are gone, and I dont know how to get them back :O
Anyone with similar problem?

One time I had this issue. After restarting the device it disappears until today.
its like a random problem... i had it once in a while... even sometimes after restart...
Do you use some task killer? Make sure not to kill HTC Lockscreen app. I noticed that after it is killed then the icons on lock screen disappear.

Make sure you didn't disable it at the Personalize screen.

Thanks, maybe that's the reason for my lockscreen icons disappearing every now and then.
I've added the lockscreen app to the ignore list of TasKiller
Hi!
I'm having the same problem: at random times icons dissapear. Sometimes lock screen with shortcuts gets replaced with lock screen with weather!
Does anyone know, that can one change lockscreen style on One V? And what makes lockscreen change like that?
thanks in advance
Ok I seem to have figured it out. In my case atleast, if I remove the clock widget which comes out of the box, the shortcuts disappear.
I had a great wallpaper and the clock was blocking the entire thing so I removed it, and with that the shortcuts disappeared. I have treied it 4-5 times now and everytime I remove the clock shortcuts disappear.
Now there might be other reasons for others problems, It might be totally random but for me so far it seems like its cos of the clock being removed. Weird.

I found the solution for weather lock screen- it seems that somewhere in the settings you can choose to show weather lockscreen as the first lockscreen of the day
In case it disappears, remove one icon from the dock bar and add it again.. And bam, the lockscreen shortcuts are back!!!!

You don't have to be a farmer to know what sh*t smells like.
Are you using HTC Sense as a launcher? The shortcuts on the lock screen assume that you have the bar in the bottom of the screen that comes with HTC Sense. If you switch launcher, the shortcuts will only be there momentarily.
Not Worked for me
My lockscreen icons are gone.. also none of lockscreen styles work....

What would you guys like to see in CM9

thanks

yeah. i like the sense camera too. the fm radio app would be nice as well.

Keep Beats Audio from stock.
I also prefer the sense lock screen, if that's possible.
lock screen with notification bubbles available on unlock icons (i.e. texts, email, calls) which show u the number of each respective new notifications (like sense has). Also those notification bubbles available on the icons in the launcher (like sense also has, and apex launcher pro)
I was using apex launcher pro with CM9 but I miss the notification bubbles on the unlock icons that sense offers.
I really like the available weather on the lock screen. But it'd be nice if there was a weather widget available that looked just like the weather on the lock screen. I really like the look of the lockscreen weather and would like that on my home screen.
also, an option to assign a shortcut to double tapping the home key. There is an app that offers this (Home2 shortcut) but itd be nice to have this built into CM9. right now shortcuts can be assigned to long press but itd be nice to have both long press and double tap as shortcut options
A sleek minimalist design with a transparent status bar! Also lots of performance tweaks, and other various tweaks.

I would love to see a Sense camera! I also like the HTC widgets with vanilla ICS. For some reason, when I use a diferent launcher, HTC Widgets don't show in the widgets pane.
Can you also include a camera mod if there's one out by then?
Waiting for your work... patiently.
A mod to choose to place the clock in the centre of the status bar - I pulled the SystemUI.apk from SuPrimo to use with the stock ROM, and I actually think it look nice having a centred clock

Please do not add Beats! I dislike how it hovers in the notification bar whether on or off and I find in general it brings no more benefit than a simple EQ.
Personally what I would like to see most is Google Now integration. Although what I would fall in love with is CM10 .

oh, and the option to turn off haptic feed back on the lockscreen! it is a tad bit annoying.
the quite hours trick where you check "disable haptic feedback" does disable haptic feedback on the lockscreen but it also disables all notification and call vibrations even though you don't check "disable vibrations".

Lockscreen gestures!! Was in CM7, but has been removed in CM9?
I like Sense pretty much, so I would be happy not to divert too far from it. The audio-player is very nice with the possibility to add other similar apps, like the FM Radio. This way all I need is the widget on one of my screens and I have access to it all. Please keep that.
Beats is still the best preset, just make that annoying icon go away from status-bar.
HTC weather and clock are nice!
Am I right, that the MIUI dialer looks like the Sense one?
I think, that in Sense all is so well integrated, that most should be kept and adding less is more. But then, I am just a noob, what do *I* know?!
Oh, and please try to port and add the One X camera mod (no compression).
