Skinning Fresh Evo 4.3.3. Is it possible? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If it's possible, how would I go about changing the boot screen and lock screen animations?
Is it possible to get the lock screen where you can pull the 4 apps down for quick access?
Thanks!

Does anyone know how I can change the evo lock screen to the android lock screen like on the droid. It just looks so much better. That would be cool

No problem. - The original Sprint boot animation is so ugly I just can't believe they'd hire someone to make that stuff happen at Sprint.
Here's another link on how to apply a boot animation:

I think he was asking about the lock screen, not boot animations...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt the droid use the stock lock screen? If so, this is a theme in damagecontrol
I juss don't like the stock lock screen for the evo.i like the android lock screen better

doubtful, you need to be able to remove the htc lock screen apk i believe.
Well do I have to root my phone in order to run the boot animation?
I don't want to root my phone yet that's why, but maybe if I just do what you said
I think so, because to modify the boot animation files you have to have access to rw system
there is an app in the market to change your lock screen.i think is lockbot or something like that.

Yeah, he asked for the DroidX lock screen, not lockbot or anything else.
{does anyone know how I can change the evo lock screen to the android lock screen like on the droid}
LOCKBOT IS AN APP TO CHANGE YOUR LOCK SCREEN, you can change it to look like the one on the droid, you can chage it so it looks like the , iPHONE,ECLAIR,Froyo,x10, and galaxy, i think this would do what you want!!
ps. to the one that posted above me, are you forealz, do you even know what lockbot is???
Ok cool, then I guess I'll lockbot thanx guys

[REQ] Method to hide taskbar on lockscreen?

I was wondering if there is any way to hide the taskbar when the screen is locked, but have it shown when using the phone. It would make my phone look absolutely amazing. I'm using the clear lockscreen mod, with the Sprint banner replaced by a space. If there is a way to do this, it would basically make the phone a digital picture frame with a clock on it. See the screen for what I mean.
I didn't want a new thread, but is there any way to extend the timer before the screen turns off before you unlock the device?

Are you talking about the screen timeout? menu - settings - display?
No, I mean the base slide lock screen, from when you first turn on the device. Is there a way to control how long it will display the clock and wallpaper before turning the screen off due to no entry?

[REQ] Want to use pattern lock ONLY, want rid of HTC/AOSP lock screen!

I figure I will bring this up again. I am posting this in dev because I think this is the only place/way for a potential solution.
The Evo is the only that behaves this way--when the pattern lock is enabled, the HTC lock screen (or AOSP lock screen, if the HTC is removed) still pops up before the pattern lock.
There are plenty of tools out there that disables the lock screen, but they do not solve the problem. Using the menu shortcut on the HTC lock is still not a good solutino.
I simply want the Evo behave like my Epic, N1, an other Android phones, where the slide unlock goes away when pattern is eneabled.
How?
I'd appreciate some help.
Thanks.

By enabling the lock screen gesture on my evo running CM7 it disables the slide to unlock and unlocks immediately after you put in the pass trace. so i'm not sure why this is needed. definitely in the wrong section. should be under Q/A

yea probably...
Thread moved to Q&A.
I'd like to bump this, I'm having the same problem. I've done some searching and as he said, I can't find any *real* solution to it. Some suggest apps but that takes out the lock screen altogether. When I hit the power button, I want to do swipe and be in. This is really a pain in the butt so hopefully we can find some answers.

[Q] Disabling Stock Screen Lock Slider

I am attempting to use Go Locker as my phone's lock screen instead of the stock screen locker. For a bit, the Go Locker worked fine on its own. Now, I find that the default screen lock comes up as well as the Go locker screen. So I am required to unlock both to gain access to the screens on my phone. How do I disable the stock screen locker?

If you're on a Sense ROM, go to Settings>Personalize>Skins and select the skin that doesn't have a lockscreen. Should be good to go then.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

How to get the Stock Android lock screen without root acces

Like many other people, I hate the sense style lock screen on the HTC one. After installing the GEL launcher to a more stock android experience all I wanted to do was get rid of the sense lock screen but the problem was my phone isn't rooted. But I found a way to get the stock lock screen minus some of it's features and here's how:
1. Personalize> Lock Screen Style> Select the No Lock Screen
2. Apps> All> HTC Lock Screen> Click force close
3. Apps> All> Lock Screen Command Control> Click Disable
4. Restart your phone
After doing these steps you should now have the stock android lock screen, the only problem being that so far I can only get it to have the unlock option instead of also the Google and camera unlocks. To get widgets however, you can go to Personalize> Lock Screen Style> widgets> settings> And then click the widget that you would like on the lock screen. By disabling the sense lock screen like this and instead of using an install method it is much easier to revert back to the sense lock screen by just enabling the Lock Screen Command Control.
Hope this has helped some of you who aren't rooted and are trying to get rid of the sense lock screen.
