Lockscreen Widgets? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to get widgets on my lockscreen? I played around briefly with FlySreen but I didn't care for it since it was basically an app that ran 24/7 and let you disable the lockscreen to it would "replace it".
Are there any actual custom lockscreens out there? I mean, HTC made their own, there has to be a way to build one right?

Yea, no indication of being able to place widgets on the lockscreen.

I saw that one. Are you using it? It pretty much looks like what I want but I don't know if it works like FlyScreen or what. I really didn't like the feel of FS. That status icon the whole time was really annoying.

[Q] Clock vs. Battery Meeter in Title Bar Solution

I like having the "Display Clock on the Title Bar in all programs" option on, so I can keep an eye on the time no matter what is going on, but when using this option the "Battery Meeter" in the Title Bar disappears...I guess it's an either or thing...
Anyone know how to have both?

Flashing a custom WM6.5.x ROM would allow you to have both. Unfortunately, WM6.5 doesn't seem to support both icons in the taskbar at the same time.

There are some great apps that show the battery state across the top of the device as a colored line. Do a search on AvianWavesBattline for that one.
Or I recommend the BattClock program, which allows you to put up a lot of information in the taskbar.
I actually use both...

Cool! I've seen the AvianWavesBattline before, forgot about it, thanks! I have to look up the other one.
I use BattClock too and am happy with it - have it showing the time, battery % and free RAM.

vanilla lockscreen???

When you unlock and swipe from left to right a light coloured bar comes out saying unlock on it, where is this bar? I thought it may be in framework-res but I couldn't see it. Anyone know where it is? Also same question for the vanilla call answer screen?
anyone have any idea?

Not sure about the call screen, but I can help you with the lockscreen. Get widget locker from the Market, it costs $2. Using this, you can get the default vanilla lockscreen, even one like the iPhone if you want. It also lets you place widgets on the lockscreen.

No you really can't help haha... You're way off dude.
He's obviously asking for theme'ing purposes.
Unfortunately I don't know where it's located either. I'd suggest downloading and extracting a ROM that has the Vanilla lockscreen and wading through all that.
EDIT: Or just download the update.zip from the Desire Themes & Apps section that has the Vanilla lockscreen only. And find it within there. I'll be home from work soonish so I'll download and check it out myself when I get there.

jog_tab_bar_left_end_pressed.9.png
jog_tab_bar_left_end_normal.9.png
jog_tab_bar_right_end_normal.9.png
jog_tab_bar_right_end_pressed.9.png
But I dont know about the text saying unlock etc......

Is it possible that the text itself is not an image but rather text that has been coded to pop up over the bar image?
That would explain why you cannot find an image for it.

Changing the lock screen only

Wondering if there is a way to change off of the Samsung lockscreen into something else, either the default Android lock screen or maybe even the HTC lockscreen.
Can this be done without putting a custom rom on?

Had to edit, read the post wrong. but you can download an app on the market called WidgetLocker Lockscreen. Its got different types of lockscreen you can change it to.

Lock Screen Defaults

Does anyone know of any way to either change the default lock screen clock / weather items? Or remove it completely?
I tried Holo Locker but it does not seem to work.
I don't want to disable my lock screen completely, just have it as close to the stock Google as possible. I hate the Sense weather that comes with the One. I understand I can add something like DashClock but I am not able to set it as the default lock screen.
Any help is appreciated.
No possible to put any other lockscreen on than the ****ty default one. You can of course add the lockscreens you actually do want to the "right" of the default one but this is incredibly dumb to force us on their ****ty lock screen.
I want dashclock and can't get it to be the default.
I agree. Well, thanks for the response. I wish we could change it.

You just have to wait for a modified kernel to do this.

Sad that they restrict the basic functionality that almost any phone on the market right now can do just to force this on us. What a shame.

Widgets on lock screen?

(unfortunately the search function is not working for me today for some reason; I tried looking about a bit but didn't find anything - I apologize if there's another thread...)
Well, for the life of me I can't figure out how to add widgets to the lock screen. I did customize my shortcuts as per instructions (just change the ones in Sense, even if you're using a different launcher), but widgets? I read I'm supposed to swipe left on the lock screen, but nothing happens...
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure that feature has been removed since the One M8, even since Android Lollipop.

Ah ok, so I'm not stupid or crazy after all.... thanks!
Would you happen to know if there is any third-party lockscreen that supports fingerprint and widgets?

Not that I know of unless you have a Samsung (Their Good Lock app works with widgets).
Thanks man. Certainly sounds weird!
Sense must allow other widgets on the lock screen, too.
