[Q] Switching Sense 3.0 lockscreen to Original Lockbars - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm running Synergy Rom RLS1 and I was wondering if there was any way to disable the sense 3.0 lockscreen and just have the normal stock lockscreen, the one with the lockbar instead?

The lock screen was cooked inside that specific rom. You may want to look at Widget locker for alternate lock/Moddifiable lock screens.

I am not running Synergy at the moment (Switched to MikG) but I thought there was a checkbox in Settings to use the standard lockscreen. On MikG it is Settings -> Display -> Stock Android Lockscreen. Am I confused? Does Synergy have this option?

Synergy has that option. It would revert it to sliders, like in CM7. Problem is, you have to swipe those sliders and unlock your phone to answer a call.

[Q] Rotary (or AOSP) lock screen on Froyo

I'm running BakedSnack 1.1, which is based on the official Froyo release. I don't like Sense's lock screen. I'd like to see the rotary lock screen I came to love on DamageControl 3.2.3, but I'd settle for even the generic Android lock screen.
Anyone know how to get one of those two onto a Sense-based Froyo ROM, or BakedSnack in particular?

Not sure about rotary, but the generic lock screen is actually still on the phone. Delete HTCLockscreen.apk (i think that's its name) and the vanilla one will load.
Wow, that was almost too easy. Thanks for the tip!
By the way, is there an apk I can similarly delete to get the stock Calendar app? I don't see any prefixed with Htc in the /system/app folder. My #2 gripe against Sense (after the lock screen) is the calendar app that doesn't show text on events in Week view.

Can't turn off HTC weather animations

I've moved to BW since its compatible with ADW launcher and has similar animations, but the HTC cloudy weather animation continually flashes across my screen upon unlocking and startup.
I've tried going back to the stock Sense launcher and unchecking fullscreen animations (multiple tomes) but to no effect. Anybody have a fix for this??

It may not be the HTC animation, but rather a third party app. Are you using Widgetlocker as your lockscreen? If so, it too has a weather animation that, unless something recently changed, is enabled by default.
Uncheck "unlock animations" in the advanced section of the BW settings, if you haven't already.
remove the htc clock from your homescreen and readd it....there will be a an option to enable/disable full screen animation

He's using ADW, so the HTC clock is not being used.

he said he went back to stock sense...maybe doing what i said will disable it then he can switch back... just a thought
@najaboy: I'm running with the skyraider rotary unlock lockscreen so I don't think that's it
@G00S3Y: I actually don't mind the BW animations, its the fact that the stock HTC cloudy animation always runs just before the BW one. It makes it weird when the BW animation is "clear" but the HTC one is clouds, but I'll give it a shot

That's exactly what I tried. I unistalled ADW and returned to the stock Sense launcher. I removed the widget, readded it, and unchecked the animation box. Reinstalled ADW and it was still there, "cloudy" animation only.
I even tried just removing the widget completely and STILL got clouds... :/

Backup your homescreen settings for Sense, pretty sure Titanium Backup does this...but I use mybackup pro. once you have it backed up, goto setting>applications>manage applications>all> then click HTC Sense and clear out the cache etc. then switch back.
just throwing ideas out there to hopefully get you all fixed up. let me know your results

Just tried your fix and was optimistic. Went to every HTC weather app in the app manager and cleared cache when able, then toggled force stop. Go back to the homescreen and... clouds.
I did find two interesting things though. While exploring the HTC weather apps I came across one that said widget settings that I couldn't change at all. Also, in an attempt just to do something different, I enabled the animations in the widget. Instead of replacing the cloudy animation, it STILL ran first, then the current weather animation showed.
I'm getting my ass kicked by this one... I'll see if I can post a screenshot of the unchangeable widget screen

that sucks. i like the adventure, i would back up my data etc and reinstlal the rom and go from there. but this is an odd bug of sorts.
It really is... I think ill just wait until gingerbread comes out and hopefully it might fix itself. I really just don't feel like doing a wipe and reflashing for an issue as small as this one :/

Widgetlocker
This has been annoying me for weeks, and couldn't find an answer anywhere. I had disabled the animations in the Sense clock, but it was still running animations over my home screen. But someone above had the answer that finally solved it for me. It was Widgetlocker, which has it's own button for turning on and off the Sense weather animations. Problem solved!
I would like to know about this as well!
I don't like the delay between unlocking my phone and being able to use it (the weather animation runs and I either have to wait for it or click the screen).
Appreciate anyone's input...
Bump shamelessly until I get a fix for this... somebody gotta know something!

[Q][SOLVED] Lockscreen mod?

Any way to mod your lockscreen similar to this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919121
I dont want an app or to use Widget Locker ( i hate that app btw ), I just want a better lockscreen than the sliding one. I prefer the HTC Sense, or at least the rotary one. I am running CM7
Not sure if it's no longer available in CM7, but in CM6 you can set the rotary lockscreen in CM Settings->Input Settings. You can also remove the lockscreen sliders and use gestures instead.
those are standard in cm7, settings/cyanogenmod settings/input settings

[Q] Sense 3 Notifications on AOSP?

Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is a way to get the pull-down notifications with the multi-tab available through the latest version of Sense on AOSP ROMs such as CM? i really like that portion of sense, just don't want to have all the extra sense bloat.
Any help would be most appreciated.
If you are talking about the quick access to settings then CM7 has it, its called power widgets (if i remember correctly). Turn that on in cyanogenmod settings and you can have it a better way than Sense 3.
If thats not what you are talking about. Then im lost.
Actually miui. Has a theme called slate sense which is very sense 3.0 and includes the notification bar with quick settings tab
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
CM7 has power widgets and is actually quite customizable. Although there is no separate page like the sense 3.0 notification bar, you can set the power widgets
as scrollable I believe and set as many as you wish. MIUI has a separate settings tab in their notification area by default.

[Q] Question to all you rom freaks out there

Hey Guys and Girls,
I love roms,I am always flashing new ones but I have an idea and I need help getting it.So I like sense but love gingerbread,the thing i love about sense is the lock screen where i can drag the apps to the bubble.Thats pretty much it,so I want to have gingerbread as my actual home screen,app screen,and for my keyboard.I know this sounds pretty crazy but can anyone help me find a rom or apps that can help my obtain this.Answers to this quetion would be very appreciated
install a sense rom then install a launcher from the market
Sent From My Optimized HTC Incredibly Since
Agile lock from the market is a nice sense 3.0 lockscreen clone. Its still inferior as the software is a little edgy and there aren't any sms previews like the sense 3.0 one has. I currently use this with CM7 along with sms popup from the market and it works great.
Otherwise download a stable sense rom with the sense 3.0 lockscreen (Nils Gingersense, Synergy) and use a different launcher.
There's also SupraROM which is an AOSP Sense 3.0 mix, but I'm not sure if it has the sense lockscreen.

I know when I ran MIUI about a month ago there was a Sense ring lockscreen you could install in Theme Manager. The downside was I couldn't figure out how to pick what apps other than the ones it gave you. Maybe that's changed, not sure there.

Ah right, I forgot about this option.
I do believe that they can be changed. You have to edit a text file though so its not as easy as HTC makes it. There's a MIUI lockscreen thread with a few of those sense ring lockscreen alternatives. However they all have one thing in common: when releasing the ring, the screen immediately unlocks. No cool "fly through the ring" effect.

Div033 is correct on the MIUI sense 3.0 lockscreens, they look pretty much identical but lack the fancy animation.
I'm not sure what the OP means by this:

By gingerbread, do you mean the stock AOSP look? Because if so, you could use agile lock on CM7, like has already been mentioned, or maybe try the synergy rom with the warm theme. It has the sense 3.0 lockscreen but is themed with quite a few AOSP gingerbread elements.
