Is there ANY vanilla lock screen.apk's out there that are just the .apk NOT an entire ROM, and ones that WORK, not ones that are "half ass" done? I realize developing anything can be difficult, I just want to find one that works correctly. The search filter on the site is junk you type in Vanilla lock screen, or any thing lock screen .apk and it just brings up every ROM that has a vanilla lock screen in it, can anyone help solve this "puzzle". I really like the one from Warm 2.2 BUT its jacked up/ wasnt properly developed and is just pointless to use unless youre using it with that ROM.

Warm twopointtwo is not a vanilla rom, so it would not be a vanilla lockscreen. What rom are you using currently?

I hear you can just delete the sense lockscreen and it'll use the vanilla one. But, I believe I also heard that screws up your alarm. Not sure where the sense lockscreen apk is though.

I think the htclockscreen.apk is in system/apps. If you rename it with .bak at the end you will have the vanilla lock screen. Not sure what you mean by half assed though? What do you think is wrong with the one from Warm?

well its "thinned" out, it sometimes double screens, as in you go to weather or alarm, and a blank screen will quickly slide up showing a half assed weather/ alarm screen, the lock itself is perfect, but what ever else he put in that apk file was terrible, i hate to *****/ trash on a dev since he has done really well, but i think it needed more work before releasing. as far as the apk file yea i knew you could change it to a .bak, only problem is, when i go into the root file explorer and locate the file to rename it, the second i try to rename it, it says "insufficient permissions" and i have no idea how to fix it, in this case google nore the forum was my friend lol any ideas?
ok fixed it, figured it out, and was able to change it, next step learning how to create apps LOL.

Hey there my phone is rooted and I'm running the new Fresh 1.0.1 Rom and I came from the Evo9 Rom running Froyo 2.2. One thing I liked about the froyo rom is that on one side it was to unlock and the other was to set the phone on vibrate instead of silent. Is there any way to change this now. I have Fresh running and I have flashed the Vanilla locks screen but currently one side is to unlock and the other is to silent and I really prever vibrate.
Thanks in advance.
I think someone asked about this yesterday too, but i would love to see this too. Instead of having to unlock & even just go to a widget, i could do it right from the lock screen.
well the froyo rom that's available does this so I wouldn't think it would be to hard
I think cyanogen mod supports this. I'm sure there is a way to port it over/hack it in.
Is there anyway to get the Vanilla Lock screen WITHOUT rooting?

Not really. There is an app in the market (I think called lockbot) that lets you use alternate lock screens, including some that look like Vanilla.
Since this can be done by this app, I imagine someone that really knew what they were doing could make the actual vanilla lock into something that could be installed over top of sense, but I don't think it has been done.
You may just want to check out lockbot for now,

is there a way to edit it? This must have been asked a million times, but i don't mean with widget locker or lockbot or something like that. I find the clock tacky, since the notification bar is right there and i want to remove it. i'd imagine it would require rooting. thanks
yes
yes requires rooting because you would have to modify a theme zip like a stock theme then modify the .PNG then flash ....atleast thats the only way i know about it
You need to be rooted and running a deodexed rom. You then would have to do some xml edits to remove the clock

ok thanks guys. while i've rooted before, my epic still has the new phone smell and i'm still babying it. but could you help with this? is there a locking app that either:
1. overwrites that xml file or w.e. so that it is not active at the same time. (so they aren't fighting for domination?)
2. keeps the functionality of being able to swipe to missed texts, calls, e.t.c.
thanks.

There's different apps in the market that changes the lock screen. You might want to start looking into those

Can you point me in the direction where I can find a different lock screen zip for the epic thats not the TW one or the AOSP one?

Those two are pretty much it as far as lockscreens that work on the epic. You can get the rotary lockscreen if you use the cm6 beta, which I have found to be quite stable. Other than that you are going to need an app rather than a flashable zip.

I would recommend GOTO. Its in the market. Its a paid app, but as you unlock you can choose between messages, phone and gmail. You can change which apps it opens if you don't use the stock programs. I have been using it for a month or so. Just make sure you run through the setup twice to make sure the settings are set correctly. Initial setup is kind of tricky i though. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
Is it possible to switch out the lock screen? There is a post in the dev thread where someone has offered up a replacement but says it only replaces the 'vanilla' and not sense. If you run this ROM you have sense, right? If someone could point me in the direction where I might be able to learn more about how this may/not be possible that would be great.
Widgetlocker?
I could be wrong but I think there might be a sense lockscreen apk in data/app or system/app. I'm thinking if you delete or rename that, you'll have the "vanilla" sliding tabs.
Note: This information may be entirely incorrect.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
FYI
NOTE: If you do rename the WarmZ 2.2 lock screen file ---> /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
as mentioned by k_nivesout, you will then have the vanilla lock screen.
With the vanilla lock screen, you are going to need the vanilla clock app.
The htc sense clock app and vanilla lock screen does not play well together. You will get an alarm that goes off, and you cannot stop it until you restart your phone.
Thanks for the help. I have progressed in my quest. I have found that the lock screen I have been trying to get installed, posted by gomorrah, uses update-script that isn't compatible with CWM3 (ammend vs edify). Trying with another recovery I am now at the point of not having Launcher2 so I'm chasing that piece now.

Could you post a link to said lock screen? Is there more than one, or just a single lock screen?

if if wont flash on CWM 3 use this. just flash it first then do whatever you want after.
Thanks. I was thinking down those lines. The package installed, at least as far as CWM was concerned, without error. Problem is that nothing changed.
is there anyway to get the lock screen (+weather animations) from synergy rom on warm z 2.2? that's my favorite part of the synergy rom (easily amused i guess) but otherwise like warm z better...been searching forum for some time looking
thx for any info
No, I don't think the sense 3.0 lockscreen will work on a non gingerbread rom. I believe incubus is working on a warm 2.3 rom, and there is already a warm skin for synergy.
thanks
will any skins for synergy rom from other phones work? i'm not finding one for the incredible (forgive me if i looked right at it & didn't see it) i found skins for the evo synergry....
hey guys, i need some help here lol..... basically, i have no idea what im doing.... i rooted my phone (evo 4g) and i have the warm 2.2 rom right now (which i like alot) i like how its all blacked out and got some transparent stuff, real clean.. BUT i HATE the lock screen.... wanna get the "ring" lock screen, but i have no idea how to do it... also i downloaded "synergy w, god mode" or something like that, and everytime i boot into recovery and try to install it off the sd card, it loads and installs, BUT when it brings up the white HTC Evo 4g Screen when i reboot, it stays there and doesnt ever boot.... ive let it set for like and hour, and it still does nothing..... basically.... i wanna know how to change my lock screen to the one in the sinister rom i think? not really sure what the name was... i think it was sinister.... it had the sweet ring at the bottom you would drag up to unlock, but i didnt really like anything else about the rom..... is there a way to mix and match? and also where do i go to find more mods for the warm 2.2 rom? i have the transparent title bar, thats it..... HELP any advice it GREATLY appreciated, im trying to learn this stuff as fast as i can, but its so overwhelming lol Thanks in advance guys!!!
Before you flash synergy wipe everything. Factory reset, and both cache. And you should use the non gmode synergy. Also look in mods in the second post of the synergy post for a transparent notification bar

Ya when I flashed it the first couple of times it just hung at the white EVO screen so I pulled the bat and wiped everything BUT the SD card and it went great. Also looks pretty good now that I got the whole 3D look going

Install the non god mode rom, god mode one isnt anything to go crazy about. I recommend baby steps since your newly rooted, so stick with what you know will be the easiest sure thing and work your way up until you are comfortable with all things Android
ok ill have to try that!..... as for now i have warm 2.2, adw launcher, and lock bot.... ill take some screen shots.... one thing i do miss is the HTC widgets (calender, favorites) stuff like that... is there a way to get these??
If you use launcher pro plus from market, it has some widgets, but not quite like sense (and i personally like ADW better than LPP). Beautiful Widgets in the market has sense-like clock widget. I never have found anything that compares to the htc mail widget, though (thats one of the only reasons i use sense a lot)
Lockring: as long as you're on synergy, or any sense 2.1/3.0 rom, youll have the lockring. There are threads (MANY) with custom lockrings to flash. And the greatest devs in the world, that even take requests
Have fun.

Using adw you have the sense Widgets. I use to use adw but since installing synergy I'm all over sense.

What recovery are you using..... synergy requires amon ra..... if you are using rom manager .... you can switch recovery to amon ra..... flash alternative recovery at bottom of menu on rom manager.... you will be able to flash synergy thru amon ra........
Fflexed from my SYNERGY EVO!
hmmm.... maybe, i am using rom manager, maybe that has something to do with it? im really not that worried about it anymore....i have a decent look that im satisfied with right now..... oh yeah.... because im so new to rooting and all that stuff, if there any sweet benefits that im not hearing about? like what other cool stuff is there to do other than changing themes, appearances? thanks! lol

thats is definitley why gmode isnt booting and also i would stick to non gmode for now. themes are kinda iffy on there at the moment.
Is it possible to have the stock 2.3 lock screen minus the text? I would love to have just the slide lock/silence and my background, zip download would be fine, but I would love to learn how to do it myself.
Anyone? I would expect at least at a sarcastic comment but nothing at all?
The only way I know to modify the lock screen is with a application, such as WidgetLocker...They have a default option for a Sense lockscreen, but I've never tried it (I'm an AOSP man personally)
The uot kitchen might be able to do this. I personally know nothing about it, but I've heard people talk about the wonders it works. Google is your friend in this case, I think.

yes you can hide virtually anything
just takes some tinkering
This thread interests me also... I'm using Virtuous with the 3.0 lockscreen. Haven't figured out how to remove the "31000" on top of the time... I've tried modifing it with root explorer and going into spn-conf.xml file but haven't been able to edit it. Also tried Carrier Name all it changes the file but not the screen.... Any sugg??

I know CCName can change your carrier text and, therefore, you can make it blank. I don't know how to change the other ones though. Does Sense use a Clocktopia font? If so, you could probably make a "blank" font.
