Installed vanilla lock screen by removing the htc sense one and loving it. Only problem if when my alarms go off when the screen is off I can't turn the alarm off. Any ideas for a solution?
Thanks

I believe you have to uninstall the HTC Clock and use the Vanilla clock instead. This is what i did to get it to work on the Fresh ROM. Not sure if there is another way but this is what worked for me and after installing fresh 3.2 i havent put the vanilla lock screen back on since it doesn't show the music app when its locked.
The world clock doesn't work well with the vanilla lock screen. You have to download a theme from the fresh updater that removes the world clock and adds the vanilla clock.
yea just go to Fresh's website geekforme or do a search for vanilla lock and he has a set of choices for you
here you go http://geekfor.me/hero/fixes/bugfixes-requests-lock-screens/
So whats the big deal with the vanilla lock screen? Everyone seems to like it so much better then senses. I don't use the music app, so i don't have a need for that functionality.
i jsut like how it looks i like having the 2 slides (one for silent one for lock and like the side to side vs the down.
overll it functions almost exactly the same except for cosmetics. so it is really a personal prefrence
The HTC SENSE slide up and down is driving me nuts when i carry my phone in my pocket i either answer or decline the call before i even see who it is.....
Ive searched countless forums for a Vanilla Slide to Answer just like the Slide to Unlock/ringer Slide and with no luck have i come across such mod..
Can any devs look into this or possibly point me in the right direction thanks
I believe the slide to answer/decline is part of the Phone.apk tied to Sense. A possible solution would be to try the AOSP Phone.apk but i'm not 100% if it will work.

Thanks i'll look into that.....
Got the same issue and it also drives me nuts. Idiotic design.
I think you just use Root Explorer to delete /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk, then reboot. I've done it before.

nm the attached zip is just for lockscreen, not calls.
I was running Caulkins new rom and he has a different slide to answer lockscreen, so it can be done
Would really love to see this mod. The current design is absolutely idiotic. Cm6 currently had it. By just installing the aosp dialer does not give you this lock screen.

I'm tired of hanging up on people whenever i pull the phone out of my pocket, is what your requesting able to fix that?
I haven't found anything on changing the Call Slide to Answer Function without changing to another rom..... Would love to see a Signed or ADB Push way to do it to a Deodexed or Odexed Rom.....
Currently using the Newest OTA Odexed with Vanilla Lockscreen
Now if we could get a DEV to just make the Call Slide to Answer i and a few others would be very Grateful.....
But in the Meantime i will continue to search
Check out an app in the market called WidgetLocker. It replaces the lock screen and not only allows you to add widgets and shortcuts making the lockscreen a usuable screen, but you can select from sense slider, vanilla slider, iphone slider, and android rotary slider. It's the best app out there in my opinion.
Edit: you can set it to put itself in front of the call screen so that you need to unlock before you can slide to answer thus preventing unwanted answering.

I can confirm this does work but as the OP says, it's not ideal. If you try it out you'll see it's not all that elegant. Would be sweet if someone smarter than me could come up with a way to do it right.
If your rooted, go to Titanium Backup and uninstall the apk "htcsenselock". After uninstalled reboot your phone and you are in business. You will still have sense minus the annoying lock screen.
Edit:
Scratch that, it only changes the normal screen unlock...not the phone answer unlock.

Don't let this die!!
srsly! BUMP!
I hate this stupid slide up/down to unlock BS!
Guess no one can do this
yea this sucks man I either want to get rid of it or find out which file is it that you remove or edit so I can make my own slide to answer .png
This is one of the only reasons I've dropped my Sense roms and migrated to CM6. After using it for a few days and many hours of tweaking it with themes and widgets, it's nearly back looking like an HTC and not a G1 but with the super sexy vanilla lock.
Just delete HTCLockScreen.apk and you'll have a horizontal vanilla slider lock screen.
When I get a call, the HTC sliding lock comes up to answer the call, I prefer the Vanilla android method of answering calls (as well as lockscreen) so I removed hte HTC lockscreen. Is there anyway to get the Vanilla Android answering tabs on a Sense ROM? I'm using the latest Virtuous Rom.
I'd also prefer to keep the HTC dialer and peopl app. But if the dialer must go inorder to get the answering method I'll drop it.

The paid app WidgetLocker may be what you're looking for

EDIT: On second look, this seems to just modify the lockscreen, not the dialer action. Sorry
As far as I am aware this is not possible on a Sense based rom. You would need to use a AOSP rom to use the stock answering slider.
Hi all,
Installed the Vanilla Clock apk to get the stock android lockscreen which I much prefer. However when I recieve a call, I still have to use the htc screen as well as the android locksreen.
Major pain in the ass. Anyway to get around this ??
No. Next time use the search button please. There are apps that remove lock screens.
Edit: Whoops, my bad I thought you were asking to change the slide down HTC screen to answer. If you delete HtcLockscreen.apk (and .odex if not on deodexed ROM) it will remove the HTC lockscreen completely. Just search next time.

Both htclockscreen apk and odex are deleted, but when I get a call it still seems to be there. I have read that it is part of the dialer .... but opinions on this vary.
Is there a way to remove it from the dialer ???

No. Unless you use tasker to disable the vanilla lock on incoming calls. The sense style lock for answering the phone is in the dialer, no way around that one.
Why not install Widget Locker, it will give you the vanilla style lock screen and a lot of awesome options!
I have looked at it, but reviews are mixed at best and apparently many issues still arise. Thanks for the responses though. Wanted to stay stock rooted, but will have to re assess.
Hi,
I there any way to change the default incoming call screen, when the phone is locked? The problem is that when someone calls me, and the phone is in my pocket.. the process of taking it out often involves reject or answer, while the phone is still in the pocket .
I've tried some dialers, but it seems that this is a part of htc sense.
If i can divert to standard android behavior it will help too .
Regards
Tried the App; Full Screen Caller ID ?
Yes I tried it, but its not a replacement of the default call screen .

same problem here!!
I think you have to use an other phone.apk or dailer. Then remove the htclockscreen.apk.
I wanted something similar. Just remove the htc stuff and use as only lock screen the unlock' pattern and not the htc or stock lockscreen!
I got same problem here.

Likewise, upon searching for a solution... none is found... I would very much like to use CM roms but i miss the Sense T9 dictonary... thats the reason i used Leedroids... if only cooked roms are able to change the HTC dialer to the stock ones...
There are dialer apps in the market with t9. Use one of those with cyanogenmod.

I don`t understand why Google didn`t implement t9 dialer already :/ Are there any patent`s for this? :/ Stock Android dialer sucks! aTakePhone is the best so far as I know (apart of SENSE of course )
I dont use the HTC lockscreen i removed it from the rom before install (using Revolution HD rom removed with RomCleaner)
I also removed the htcdialer.apk which does revert the phone back to the standard android answer screen (so much better imo) but your back on the android dialer and the main phone button on the homepage doesn't work either if you can live with that then just remove the htcdialer.apk.
I didn't use the phone to long without the htcdialer.apk so not sure if there are other issue's also...

Okay i did this but i must be doing something wrong...
I used Titanium Backup to remove the htc dialer ( i get repeated F/C for android core process)
Pulled out the battery.
After restart, pressing the dialer button/icon have no effect
Downloaded and used launcher pro, no effect either
downloaded Dialer one, docked it with launcher pro.. works like charm
BUT!!! When i called my own phone, im still getting that stupid HTC answer screen where u slide up and down instead of stock androids left and right...

Hmm i have been scouring the net and i seem to hit something...
If my searches is correct, the answer call slide screen is tied to the HTC Framework... Coz phones like Samsung galaxy in order to revert to the stock android lockscreen, they have to replace one of their framework files... policy something IIRC...
So wondering if any dev could look into the framework and do some editing/mods/changes?

hi,
I am having the same problem, really dont like the HTC sense screens but want to keep the stock rom as i get free turn by turn nav with my provider.
I have removed the lockscreen, so it revets to vinilla, but really want to change the slide down to answer screen?
has anyone looked into the last posed question?
It is incorporated into Sense.. No way to have a stock unlock screen and Sense ROM together...
U will have to get back to stock with scripts like "no-sense" and remove stuff from the rom after flashing it.. Or just install CM rom..
OR, this is maybe a walk around which i use it sometimes:
1. Install standard ROM with sense,
2. Install WidgetLocker
3. Set it up the way you like it
4. Choose an option to "hide the caller screen"
5. So, when it rings, you have to use the slider to unlock the screen, and then you have the sense slider (up to decline, down to answer)
This prevents to answer and gives you extra options when locked..
Hope this help.

I have gone back o Launcher Pro Plus and now instead of the htc sence slider for incoming call I get a green answer and red decline button to press.
It seems better to me but might not suit everyone.
I decided to switch back to Sence to see how things stood.
Low and behold I still have the same answer screen as I had with L.P. full screen, caller ID, and the two buttons red/green.
Don't know what I did wrong but I am glad I did.
I searched a few hours for a solution of this problem and finally found one i will try now.
The App I installed is called HD Caller ID and is free.
So for you, looking for a solution try this App. Maybe it´s good for your belongings.
