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.

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 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.

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,

Thanks, I'll check that out
I have the latest Fresh ROM installed along with the vanilla lock screen and love it. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to install the vanilla slide to answer. I'm not a huge fan of the sense one where you drag the bar down or up. Thanks!
I don't think so, at least I haven't seen one. It might be possible but its probably too integrated into Sense.
Make a request at flipz's website, maybe he or another dev will take it on.
Looking for a wakeup animation and sleep animation like the stock cm7 rc2 rom. Would like to have that on any rom. Ive been looking and cant find anything. Is it considered a lock screen animation?
Its called Screen On/Off animation and it was introduced when Gingerbread came out. I don't think any other ROM but CM7 has it, but I could be wrong.
Would it be possible to extract that from the cm7 rom? Im new to the sdk so I dont really know what can and cannot be done.
I've read somewhere that it can't be done because of the framework differences between froyo and gingerbread.
I may be wrong, but that is what I read.
Good luck.

it can be done, but by that time, evo should have stock ggb anyways. it is really hard to do, and would require some advanced java, that would ultimately lead to.... a split second screen animation :-| not that exiting for all that work....

Makes sence. Im just kind of a mod freak.... unlike most people here. Im willing to flash whatever just to learn how it works and how it dose not work. Just about everything that seems non recoverable i have somehow been able to come back from weather it be the modding of my xbox to my Evo. Im just looking for some knolage. Im trying to learn the sdk so I can be more of a contributing part of this forum.
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.
The Gingerbread update has been excellent with my HTC Incredible 2. Scrolling is smoother (i daresay iPhone-like), performance is better (example: 43Mflops in Linpack), and Sense is a little more refined...
But there is one major omission. Where and how do you get the awesome CRT style lock animation that comes with stock Gingerbread?
At the very least HTC should have a Gingerbread skin that includes this and all the other gingerbread looks.
Sadly I know exactly what you mean. Where the heck did this go?
Is that CRT thing a stock gingerbread thing or something that Motorola does...the only phone I've see that on is the Droid 3...but it's also the only other phone I've seen with gingerbread on it besides my Inc2.

The Nexus S 4G has it too
It is aosp gingerbread that had it from the start. Any phone running gingerbread with out the animation has had it removed by the company that developed the software on your specific phone... Thanks htc.... Lol jk, would love that crt animation but not a deal breaker
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
It can be added back in/enabled, but someone with the skillz would have to do it.
This is really lame on HTC's part then. I have no problems with Sense 2.1, but at the best least, they have this awesome Skin engine built into Sense, so they should have a "Pure Gingerbread" Skin that includes the CRT-style lock animation.
Here is to hoping they unlock the boot loader for the Dinc S/2 like they promised on the Sensation so we can eventually run CM8 or whatever's next.
I did it on my fascinate running stock ec09 gingerbread. I followed this guide and was super easy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977501
I would venture to guess it is near the same to enable on the incredible 2.
I should be getting my replacement in the mail shortly for the fascinate... even with 2.3 i was still missing calls.
edit: i just used root explorer to put the framework-res.apk in my system folder so i could change the permissions. After that i moved it to the framework folder and replaced the existing file. reboot and all was well.
I've seen issues where people go into a boot loop and i believe that it has to do with not setting the permissions correctly but i could be wrong.
