I am on the stock rom, rooted recently. I am using the stock alarm and when the alarm goes off, I see the default android unlock screen and once I unlock, there is no way to dismiss or snooze the alarm. I could do anything on the phone (e.g. turn it silent) but nothing short of a reboot would make the sound go. I have removed the HTC lock screen, could that be the cause of this or was it because of removing something else. I think I went according to one of the threads where while removing stuff, but I have certainly messed up somehow.

Yeah, that is your problem. Removing the lockscreen and still using HTC's clock app causes this issue. I'm not sure where it is, but there is a thread that has these mods in them that would remove the HTC Lock Screen and replace the clock to the AOSP clock. If you don't feel like doing that, just get a different alarm app from the Market. If you want something different, Gentle Alarm is pretty cool
I found the mod, but since I have already removed the Lockscreen (and now the HTC Clock as well), if someone can point me to the apk for the stock ASOP clock that works with EVO, that would be great. I've been trying to search it but haven't been able to find an apk that works with EVO. (I extracted the apk in that mod, but it did not install).

Moved it to the /system/apps folder, changed the file permission to 777 and restarted the phone. No luck.
Ignore that, another restart and it works. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough or maybe it needed a reboot. Thanks guys.

I like the htc sense lock screen but want to know if there is any method to revert back to the stock android lock screen. And then back also if possible. Because many of us like the origional feel and its also a bit light on the resources (in which wildfire lags behind a lil as compared to most android phones).
Also any other methods to use the limited potential of the wildfire more productively are welcome.
I am not sure how the stock lock screen looks like. What I did was, I designed my own lock screen wallpaper (with my name on it) and applied it using Menu - Wallpaper - Lockscreen - Gallery (folder where I put my own design). But of course the slide down (without button pattern) to unlock is the same.
I understand there are many lock screen apps posted around in xda.
disable is easy;

goto the site and download app. But dont know how to get back the standart andorid lock screen.
BUMP.
I find the HTC Lock Screen annoying. Always answering calls when I pull my phone out of my pocket.
Any way to get back to the Vanilla Lockscreen? (besides flashing a AOSP ROM?)

Download wildpuzzle rom and flash 0201 to remove htc lockscreen and other htc stuff
Temporary fix: Installed Screen Suite, bypasses the HTC Lockscreen. SLide to unlock and then you get the Answer/decline buttons.
Kinda busy now, I don`t have the time to flash custom ROMS and mess around with settings.
I tried this by pulling everything and cooking a rom from that, leaving out htclockscreen.apk.
The result was a stretched, ugly looking landscape-like vanilla lockscreen. Still looking further into this, if I succeed, ill post here.
OK, I found this:
http://geekfor.me/hero/fixes/vanilla-lockscreen/
But it`s for HTC Hero. At a first glance I think that it won`t work on the Wildfire because of the resolution, but maybe someone with knowledge of extracting apk`s and making update.zip files
(maybe applying the hero update.zip works directly woks, I don`t know, but the difference in resolution makes me think that there are different coordinates for display elements)
The general ideea is this,:
Extract the clock.apk from a Wildfire AOSP source
See if the modifications in the Hero files can be applied to the Wildfire
If not, maybe remake, or duplicate
create a .zip file that can be applied from a recovery mode.
I know it sounds like a lot, and I would do it myself, but due to problems and college, I don`t really have the time to start learning all this now. Maybe in the Christmas holiday.
Any devs interested in this?
Yes you can remove HTC Sense lock screen and revert to Vanilla lock screen. Procedure is simple but root and S-OFF is a must. Just install a root explorer like ES File Explorer. Navigate to Phone memory /system/app. Find and delete (make backup if you want it back later) HtcLockScreen.apk. Reboot your phone and you are done!

I've managed to do this without S-OFF. I just used titanium back up to uninstall the HTC Lock screen. back to stock. the problem is, the stock lock screen has the horrible weather widget instead of the clock, and I can't find a way to edit it. Did you have the same issue?

I don't have a wildfire now but I don't remember any weather widget on lockscreen.

It's work for me, thank you!!!!
I'm running the new OTA Deodexed and for the life of me I can't get the vanilla clear lockscreen to work help por favor
Have you tried using Titanium Backup to uninstall HTC's lockscreen? Fresh Rom has a patch that deletes the HTC lockscreen and adds in the Android clock. Not sure how else you can do it on rooted OTA roms.
Coming from the Hero (I'm sure you remember what a pain it was to get the vanilla lock to render in portrait) I was astonished when, on my evo, I removed HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app and rebooted and VOILA! Vanilla lock works natively on 2.2 on the EVO, you just need to get HTC's slide down lock out of the way first.
I made this real quick-like. It worked for me on 3.28. Flash through recovery. Always nandroid backup.
I did delete htc lockscreen .... Just gets stuck in a boot loop .... Should I delete lockscreen with the zip above?

The zip above deletes the HTCLockscreen.apk for you. It also adds in the Vanilla apps like Desk Clock, Music, and 3D Gallery. What ROM are you on?

For my stock-ROM Evo, I want to be able to disable the HTC slide-down lock and use the pattern lock.
Can I simply delete the .apk (presuming I need root for this) and the AOSP/Android screen lock will just show up?
Thanks.
so Like an impatient idiot I decided to delete the htclockscreen.apk and htclockscreen.odex to change it the stock android lockscreen. So now the Alarm wont shut off. What Do i Do?
I'm on STOCK 2.2 but rooted
Just turn the phone off and turn it back on. You need to install the vanilla desk clock apk and use that one for your alarms from now on.

I just want everything to go back to normal. I rather use the stock htc alarm clock

<shrug> So put the two files back. If you didn't save them, copies of the stock ROM are endlessly available on XDA, and you can get whatever files you are missing from one of them.
I did the same thing... I did a search for a stock 2.2 rom with sense but I am not sure how to extract the files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I figured out how to extract the adk file but I still need the odex.... any suggestions on that?!
Thanks again everyone!!!
I ended up re-rooting and got everything back to normal... lesson lerned!
Just reflash the sense rom you used over again. That will reset everything back to "normal."
SO I deleted the HTCLOCK.APK thinking I could just use pattern lock but I got the left to right slider came up now. I like the htc clock so it really borks the alarm.
Anyway I've tried flashing MYN rom twice but the lock I had doesnt come up' I would rather not wipe data as I cant grasp why I should have to. The rom should install the lock app back on right? I've extracted it from the rom and tried installing it that way. it fails.

Try going to the htc sense app, deleting data and restarting it or have someone on that rom pull the lockscreen apk. I'm on Fresh, so if i pulled it, im not sure it would work for you
Use root explorer or adb push to put it back in...note has to be in /system/app
Also, locker widget locker (paid app) will allow u to set whatever lock screen u want without them being installed...
Via EVO on XDA app...
Thanks for the replys. I went ahead and did a full on wipe and it fixed it. full wipes arent to bad now that google keeps the apps. As for the aftermarket locks, I've tried that one and lock 2.0 and they both are a little buggy and still dont silence the stock alarm clock.
So I use my Evo as my alarm clock. Often times when it goes off at 6am, I pick it up and hit snooze. Then it'll go off again in 10 mins or so, but when I pick it up, the alarm app is no longer showing to shut the damn thing off. I enter the clock app and there still isn't a place to shut it off.
I end up having to pop off the back and remove the battery...now so much for snoozing again, now I gotta get the hell up cause i'd oversleep due to no alarm set..Grrr!!!
What rom are you using? Is it Sense-based or AOSP? Are you using an AOSP alarm on a Sense-based rom?

This happened pretty often to me when I was running Myn's and Koni's rom. Only been on CM for a week so I'm not sure about an aosp rom yet.

Currently, I am running "Eternal Prophecy v5.8". Before that, I was running Myn RLS 5. It was happening there quite a bit. All Sense based
I felt your pain...
I had the same problem at first, but figured out that it was the lockscreen type that was causing the problem. The AOSP desk clock is only compatible with the Vanilla lockscreen, and the HTC World clock is only compatible with the HTC lockscreen. If you set your alarm in AOSP, but are using the HTC clock as your alarm (and vice versa), you will encounter this problem.
I personally love the HTC clock/alarm, because of all of the options available (stopwatch, timer, etc..) and am running Eternal Prophecy 5.9 which I love, so this is what I do: (Thanks to Dr. Ryder for guiding me through the process)
Before x-ferring the ROM to your SD, delete the Desk Clock apk from the ROM itself: "supersonic_signed_042711_090619.zip\system\app"
Then I add HtcLockScreen.apk, HtcClockWidget.apk, and WorldClock.apk (attached)to the same folder.
Once you flash the EP rom (or any other using the vanilla lockscreen as the default, really) you'll have only the HTC lock screen & Clock available.
On the other side, if you prefer the vanilla lockscreen, and desk clock, all you'd need to do is delete the WorldClock.apk from that very same folder, just to remove confusion.
This is all possible via RootExplorer, as well.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for this solution. I am reading this and first wondering how am I to do this via Root Explorer if you said do this before I transfer the rom zip to my SD card.
I still have the 5.8 zip on my SD card, so I just opened Root Explorer and browsed it. I find Deskclock.apk and when I long press it, all I get is a 'Extract' option.
I guess I am confused on how you delete and add to a zip file w/out extracting the whole thing and re-zipping.

Sorry, I wasn't clear.
Pre-ROM flash, you can delete/add apk's in the zip itself.
Post-ROM flash, you can use RootExplorer to delete the Desk Clock apk, and move the HTC apk's to the system/apps folder (I would assume a reboot would be in order, but I haven't tried it that way, only received instruction from Dr. Ryder). My understanding is that both methods will work the same, though again, I haven't tried the root explorer method myself.
Seeing as Dr. Ryder updates so often, I've made it a habit to delete/add before I flash.
