replace Sense 3 lockscreen with Sense 2? - HTC Wildfire S

Is there a way to get the older lockscreen back onto a Sense 3 ROM?
Or even, are there any optimised Sense 2 ROMs? It seems all ROMs in the dev section use Sense 3 (and I'm not a fan)..

Ill see if I can pull the lockscreen apk out of an old rom for you later. But its as easy as pulling the htclockscreen.apk out of an old rom

Until he answer you i have a bit different solution, by using WidgetLocker, here is a market link to it : Widget Locker, it's tested and i can say, best and most customizable lockscreen out there. Good luck.

Story short , i updated my wife's wfs to 2.3.5, and the unlock screen as well as answering screen is a bit choppy (using official rom , s-on, hboot 0.90000 - noob) and i was wondering how can i get the 2.3.3 lock screen (no apps from market, stock one) or how to downgrade from 2.3.5 if that is even possible ? pls help

I have build a stock 2.3.5 Europe version with the older style slide unlock.I didn't like the unlock rings myself and i couldn't install any RUU files after unlocking the boot-loader so i built it to try.Works very good here, i use CWM to flash the zip in recovery.If you would like to try it here is the un-direct link as i cant post a direct link as i am a new member.

I also didn't like it much and tried an experiment. It doesn't get the sense lock screen but removes those ring lock and gets the basic lock screen of android. Thats much better than the ring lock.
To do this you must be a root user.
1. Open a file browser in your mobile(I prefer root explorer but any other file browser would do which allows to access root.)
2. Go to location root/system/app
3. If you are using root explorer, you'd find on the top, a button r/w. Pressing this button gives you the read and write accesses of the root files.
4. Just move htclockscreen.apk and htclockscreen.odex to any other location(preferably sd card)
5. Restart your phone.
6. You'd get the basic style android lockscreen.
7. This method is irreversible. So if you want to get the previous screen back and doubt that you might not like it, you better do a ROM backup before doing any of this.
Advantages :-
Phone responds faster while unlocking screen.
Very simple interface
Pretty much attractive too
Disdvantages :-
You can not get the screen lock back if you have done this once.
To get the ring lock back you'd either need to reflash your backup or would hav to use widgetlocker app.
Biggest Disadvantage :-
If you receive a call while your phone is locked, the light won't turn on, you'd fist have to unlock the phone to see the caller and then only you'd be able to receive or reject the call.
I have experimented this method on my WFS. It worked. But I didn't like the unlocking while receving the call, hence I reflashed my backup.... All the best....

rockdev - please tell me are there any problems with the sense 2.0 lockscreen on the 2.3.5 update, beacause i'm interested in installing your rom, do you still have notifications on your screen even with this lockscreen ? my w's device is s-on with hboot 0.9000 but i am going to unlock it if this method is worth, or do you suggets otherwise. 10x in advance

No problems with mine at this stage the lockscreen works perfectly, it runs very well.I still have all the notifications and everything.It is stock standard expect the lockscreen and the power fix for longer battery life. my phone is s-on i have hboot 1.08.009 but i have the bootloader unlocked through htc.I flash it from CWM in recovery mode hope that helps.
cheers

I totally agree.... It's just a basic lockscreen but the problem is that to get this, you'd require to be rooted. S-On wouldn't be a problem.... You can still handle it but as already said, while attending the call, you'd require to unlock the phone first....
Enjoy....

ok, so let get this straight, the lock screen works flawlessly but when someone calls ,it won't unlock itself for me to pick up, (like in in sense 2.0, where you need to swype up and down in order to answer or reject), and i have to first unlock the screen (while phone is ringing) and second to swype, also i'd like to thank you for your quick responses.

Yes that's correct you need to swipe it sideways to unlock the phone then either except or decline the phone call. I prefer to do this as with the lock rings i was always missing calls or worse hanging them up.I can do another rom with the slide down unlock if that's preferred I actually built that type first it was dexoed zipalined... but I preferred the slide unlock better.
Let me know if you would prefer the slide down type of unlock as i can build another and upload it.I also have a stock 2.3.5 all original which i built first its has the lock rings.I just couldn't flash any RUU files no matter what i tried so that's why I extracted the image's from the RUU file and built my own.

t if you don´t have root permissions you can´t 3.0 lockscreen from the recoverymenu...okay...
but, can be i´m mistaken.. i don´t remember all the parameters that you must to enter in the CMD or linux shell (like me) for push it from sdk of android...now i´m mixing concepts in my head (and i can´t see it because i´m writting from my device)but i hope that you need also superuser permissions for it...(root)
EDIT:you can root, install recovery, flash it and revert root access lol
Sent from my amstrad CPC using XDA premium app powered by lol
Sorry im a lil bit new to this, (i've rooted my phone before, was running Cyanogenmod 7.0.2, but still.. a lil bit noob) hehe
But what happends when i "root, install recovery, flash it and revert root access" ?
First you will have to root to obtain root access. That is so you can install Clockworkmod which requires root access to install as it modifies the stock bootloader. You will need to install Clockworkmod and then with clockworkmod you will have to flash the required files to get the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. After you have done that and made sure it works you can get a tool from XDA that lets you put all the settings back to stock. But when you do that the Sense 3.0 lockscreen will stay.
I hope you understand what I mean
Yeah im starting to understand, but how and what am i suppose to flash?

You cann flash that you want....a new rom, a kernel,a theme... And the suposed sense 3.0 that you want for your device..
If you are not fully understand browse for this concepts and read a lot before flashing anything....
EDIT:read about the function of rom manager; of clockworkmod recovery... How to root.... Etc..
sent from my amstrad CPC powered by LOL..(premium xda)
Im not sure if the 3.0 lockscreen will work on the stock ROM but its worth having a go. For that you will need 3 or 4 files depending on what you encounter.
If you go to the Android development section there is a thread called Kingdom Lockscreen which is the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. You will need to flash the Sense 3.0 weather funtionality and the Sense 3.0 messaging functionality before the lockscreen.
Before you do anything (but once you have rooted and installed clockworkmod) I recommend that you do a Nandroid backup - A Nandroid backup is a backup that is made from within the Clockworkmod recovery environment that you can access either through ROM manager or by holding down the volume button while the device is turned off and then whilst keeping it held pressing the power button. A Nandroid backup backs up your ROM while its in its working state, all your applications will be backed up. Therefore if anything goes wrong you can just boot into recovery and re-flash the backup. A backup is quite large in size though. My last one was about 700MB so make sure you have enough space on the SD card.
So once you have backed up everything you will need to install the Sense 3.0 weather and restart the phone just to test everything is working. That is because if you install everything at once and it doesnt work its next to impossible to find out what caused the fault. Once you have done that you will need to go back into Clockworkmod and flash the messaging. Again restart and once you see that the messaging works you will need to go back into Clockworkmod to flash the lockscreen.
And that is it. If you encounter any problems while the lockscreen is installed (I had a problem where when I pressed power off the phone restarted instead), you will need to apply the fix which is on page 61 of that thread. That should fix everything.
After that you would just need to unroot. There are some tools for that lurking about the forum somewhere.
EDIT: I would strongly recommend installing a custom ROM as they are just so much better than the rubbish HTC give out. Much faster, more secure and there is much better support in place for them as most people wouldnt expect. If you have a problem with a custom ROM and you post it here, you will get an answer within 15 minutes guaranteed instead of having to wait for HTC for 15 days to answer your email and then find out they didnt answer the question but just said "sorry tough luck".

[Q] White Screen Issue after update to JB OTA

I have my HOX OTA to JB last week, but after that, when I open the camera or play a video, it will show a white screen, but still i can press the power button and lock the screen.
and if I chose "Disable HW overlays" in Developer options-Advanced, this white screen issue will be solved。
what is the meaning of “Disable HW overlays”? Is there a way to fix this? Can I flash something to fix this?
If you did this Over The Air with a locked bootloader etc etc, I'd contact HTC. But if you've unlocked the bootloader I'd say it's just a bug in the ROM, and you still need to contact HTC firstly so they are made aware of it and secondly so they can either point towards a fix or whatever... but they may be unwilling to help if you've unlocked the bootloader :/

if it is just a bug in the ROM, I have flash some other ROMs, and if the ROM is base on Offical Jelly Bean, like ARHD, this issue will be show, but if I flash some ROMs Like CM10, or Offical ICS, there will be no problem...

i think roms that dont use sense can´t access the camera chip so your problem may be in the chip. you may have to send it out for repair

i flashed official ICS 4.0.4, the camera had no problem, and white screen issue not only show when i open the camera, but also when playing a video.
when i open the camera, the white screen show, then press the power button to lock the screen (this will take more time than usual) and press again to unlock the screen, the white screen gone, and the camera could be use as normal. but when exit the camera, the white screen shows again...
so i don't think this problem is in the camera chip.

can you have a program installed that couses it?
have you tried hard reset to see if it solves that?

If you don't like JB, go back to GB. Or just get used to the keyboard and camera functions. If you have questions, ask the ROM developer instead.

You can flash 4.1.2 Xperia Keyboard (its as good as GB one) and you can turn on silent mode in "long press power button" menu.

Put the phone to sleep via soft button?

Hi,
I really like my HTC 10. The only thing I'm missing is the option to put my phone to sleep via a soft button or something like that.
I read that it's possible to install a new kernel and get the function to double tap the fingerprintsensor to lock the screen.
What do I have to do to add a similar function? Only flash a new kernel?
best regards
tom
edit: "only" flash a new kernel - I have no clue how to do it. And to root my phone is a bit complicated, because I want still be able to play PokémonGO.
Hi,
here is my way.
1. install "Screen Off & Lock" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
2. activate Screen off & Lock in devices administrator
3. long press home button
4. choose "Screen Off"
regards
starbase64
Thank you for your answer.
I tested this app, because it sounds really promising.
I can't unlock my phone with the fingerprintsensor. It always want the PIN if I locked it with the app.
The "double tap on fingerprintsensor to sleep" thing sounds really good. Could someone provide some noob-friendly explanations? For example: Can I flash a kernel without flashing another ROM?
Use Tasker with "run shell" command "input keyevent 26".

Thank you! Finally!
That was the keyword I needed!
I will read a bit about these things (I'm a noob - only rooted my OneX+) and try it.
As I understand it for now:
I unlock my phone with htcdev site
I install TWRP (don't know how - I will read about it in the threads)
Then I can flash the CleanSlate Kernel
No root necessary (so I can play PokémonGO without problems)
No settings app or something like that necessary. All features (double tap to sleep, some LED changes) are included.
But my phone will be cleaned (data and apps will be deleted).
EDIT:
- Adrenoboost version 2.2 - smooth gaming, battery friendly, fixing GPU handling of stock HTC kernel -- battery friendly conservative governor. Three levels (1 is the most battery friendly), and off state. ICE configurator / LeeDroid settings should handle it soon (thanks @flar2 for the original idea)

Sounds like you know what you're doing, reading is always the most important thing. Make sure you use unofficial twrp after reading the op and FAQ on twrp perfume thread.
I'm running stock rooted currently and, same as you am missing the screen off button from my m8. My procedure was slightly different in that I used sunshine to S off, then took all Ota's to nougat, then flashed twrp. That way there is no need for HTC Dev to unlock bootloader so no data loss. I then rooted with supersu, but of course I can't use PoGo or banking apps. You could also flash leedroid rom which uses clean slate kernel, this has loads of tweaks and can be ran without root to enable PoGo etc.
