Sense with (non)Sense unlock screen, answer a call etc...

Hi,
i have a question for developers:
i love sense rom(s) but i'd like to have a Sense rom with Froyo Lockscreen, not only for unlock screen, also for answer a phone call or switch off alarm clock; is it possible?
I don't want a "fake" lockscreen like Lockbot or other apps
Can you make a zip file to install all needed apps to revert back to a Non Sense unlock screen, answer a call etc..? Which apk we need to change?
I don't like Vanilla roms because i hate Gallery 3D and camera apk and i use them (Sense's Gallery an Camera) continuosly with my 2 months son
Thanks in advance,
Andrea

Have a look at the online kitchen of modaco, you can choose to use the standard lockscreen. He does note that it will affect the use of the default alarm.
Here is the link to the topic over at modaco. (I don't know if this rom is also available on xda)
android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/316565/24-aug-r8-modaco-custom-rom-for-htc-desire-with-online-kitchen-2-2-froyo/
(I don't have enough posts yet to post a link)
Grtz

I flashed PinkyDesire Rom with option to use Default Froyo lockscreen and i love this, but when a call is coming the answer screen is Sense and not Froyo; i think with modaco it's the same

Had the same problem. It's horrible how it switches to the alt lock screen when a call comes in. I ditched it and went to Defrost for a trial run and it's much better. I have nothing good to say about sense.

Vanilla Clock + HTC Dialer + Call = FAIL

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.

[Q] How to change incoming call screen - Sense

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.

@Moderators: pls delete this thread

@Admin/mods: can you please delete this thread? i decided to relase my work till now and so i think it's better located in the Themes/Apps Thread. I made a new one there
Ok i think this needs a complete Edit. I just finished my work for today, so i can sum my problems up.
I want to change the Lock screen from a Sense 3.5 ROM. I'm using VTS for this.
I read and followed this Tutorial
My problem is, that the time_date has no position to change. there is only a empty container. the same problem i have with the lock ring.
Also i have the problem, that the new lock symbol is smaller, so that the icons are under the old lock ring. you can see on the pictures. The problem is, that i cannot use the sms and phone shortcut.
and the drag and drop area is a bit strange for the others.
Also i would like to remove that the clock and date disapear, when the lock ring bounces.
I hope you can help me with my problems, and i also hope it's understandable.
Also i would like to reactivate the lockscreen navbar. That's not the problem. But i also need to change it. So i need to know, where the png is stored. Is there a way to read it out from the code??

I cannot belive nobody can help me.
I worked around with this today and i get a really great result. everything is where it should be. BUT. i destroyed the shortcuts. They are still displayed, i can move them around, everything is great. But they don't unlock the screen
I really have no idea. I changed some Scale, Position and visiable lines. At what line i can destroy the shortcuts??
I really need your help with this.
And one other question. I don't like to flash my new apk and reboot,.. so i pushed it with adb, and it works. but it still uses the old apk. only when i change the lockscreen to weather, or clock,... it will also change it on the lockscreen. So while playing around with this i got the problem that i removed the ring, and so i couldn't unlock XD. So is there maybe a adb command that will reload the lockscreen apk??
Thank you

Need your help guys :)

Hey guys. For some strange reason i can no longer change my lockscreen wallpaper or the clock? I can make changes to the homescreen without any issues but it seems as if the lockscreen is defaulting to whatever i have on the homescreen!! If i go into themes and edit my current theme, the options are there and it appears to work fine in the sense that i can choose a lockscreen wallpaper and it says "wallpaper applied" and even shows as changed within the theme but it changes nothing! The only thing i can change on the lockscreen is the icons! This seems a bit odd given that i have gone through all the htc related apps and none have been updated nor have any changes been made! A reboot also was of no help nor was clearing the cache!
My flashlight no longer works either (although i never really used it so its possible it was like this since new) In order for it to work i have to open the camera app and close it each time i want to use the flashlight!!
Anyone any ideas?? More annoyed about the lockscreen issue then the flashlight

Anyone ??

anybody any idea?

Honestly I've never had those issues and also don't remember reading about them. Something is borked on your phone. Done any mods? Might be time for a wipe.

Hello
Try wiping data and cache of HTC sense from setting, that might help you,
If that does not help try doing the factory reset, if the phone is completely stock
Backup before you do it, as factory reset will erase everything from the Phone including internal SD card
