I've been using my iphone for the last few months but have recently decided to go back to my trusty old HOX. The problem is I've forgotten how to get facebook and twitter notifications to pop up on the lockscreen as they appear in real time. I can't even remember if they ever did do this, but I'm sure I remember something along those lines.
In ios7 the tweets and fb conversations pop up and light up the screen so you can just glance at your phone to see what's going on without actually turning it on. Is it possible in android? I noticed the social networking lockscreen option has disappeared, this might be what I was thinking of.
I'm using sense ARHD latest version, would consider flashing AOKP/CM to get this feature if it's possible.
Thanks.

Thanks, that is always an option but not exactly what I'm looking for. I'll bear that in mind though if there is no other way.

Thanks, they are already syncing I just want the notification to come up on the lock screen.
I thought maybe there was a setting somewhere I'd forgotten about but now I don't think it's possible, at least not natively.
I might look into 3rd party lockscreens. If I find a solution I'll post here in case anyone else is interested.
Thanks for the help guys
DashClock (and the appropriate plugins) should be able to do that.

Thank you, that was it, I remember now. Only problem is it isn't there anymore in Sense 5, at least not on ARHD.
Is anyone using a different sense 5 rom who could confirm if the productivity lockscreen is in the lockscreen options? I think it might have been missed out in sense 5.
Thanks.

Thank you very much Nogotaclue and Virgolib, I can see this in the options, this is exactly what I was looking for but unfortunately it only includes email and messages, not facebook and twitter. I'm sure it used to in sense 4.5

If you use ViperX rom, you can add applications on a one-by-one basis in their tweaks for the lockscreen. It comes up a little differently than normal Productivity sense 5 alerts, but I think that should be more what you're looking for.

First off excuse my ignorance, as I am not a developer.
the thing I hate most about Sense is the Contact interface, facebook and google voice in particular. Now I know google voice isn't a part of sense but thats kinda the point.
Facebook for sense is a good idea done bad. All the mundane features are hidden and obscure. Also when you use google voice, half the sense features don't integrate and just make things feel cumbersome.
Is it possable to make a true "vanilla" Rom at least when it comes to contacts and facebook. Can we get the android facebook to do the contact integration like the Nexus and can the sense contact interface be completely discarded?
I assume is is vary difficult since it hasn't been done yet but I wanted to request it just in case it can be done
People are working on vanilla 2.2 and2.1 roms as we speak. Should have more stable versions soon.

so these roms would have no sense it it at all? The reason I ask is because I have tried a few roms that say they are Vanilla but as soon as you go to a contact, the sense interface is still used.
try the CyanogenMod Test Rom.
No sense at all. It's nice to see it totally plain, but there are still enough bugs in the rom that I went back to stock to wait for a future release. But I still recommend you check it out for a day or two.

I tried it last night. Facebook still uses the HTC sense to sync contacts (witch is broken and I didn't try to push the friendstreem.apk) and I am pretty sure it had the sense finger slide in the contacts

You may have tried Ozzeh's or Jager's "vanilla" roms (which still have some sense left) but if it had any sense in it you didnt try Cyanogen. His is completely free of sense.

I may be wrong about the contacts menu but the facebook sync was definitely missing from the android app witch lead me to believe I would have to push friendstreem.apk to fix it but I didn't try so I may be wrong

OK, that makes sense then.
Because yes, right now the only way to get Facebook sync to work is to use friend stream....but that doesn't mean that the ROM has sense UI in it. It means you REALLY want Facebook sync.

Flashed fresh 3.2.0.0 roms, sweet roms so far, except for one problem here. I didn't find HTC Mail Widget in the "Add to the home screen" menu. I was wondering if there were any way I can make that widget showing on the launch pro+? If so, how should I do it? really appreciate it.
HTC widgets can only be used with sense UI
Swyped on my EVO
Launcher pro does not work with sense widgets like the one you are trying.
Are you sure it is missing? I'm running Fresh 3.2 and the widget is there. I guess it is possible that something went wrong with the install but if that is the case try ref lashing.
If it still doesn't show, post again and I'll send the apk to you.

Hi everyone!
I'm having a problem with all the DHD ports, I've tried as of late and really need my help before this phone gets thrown at the wall!
The weather/clock widget doesn't seem to stick to my home screen anymore!
Meaning: that every time I reboot my phone, I have to reinstall the damned thing!!
If anyone has a clue, please post below!
Thanks
Bump for the morning crew!
All DHD Ports? I am using the latest InsertCoin, and do not have the problem. Did not have this while on RCMixHD 3.0, too.

Thank you very much for answering.
Am also using the latest Insertcoin since yesterday and the same thing happens.
D2Ext or A2SD+? I do not have this promlem on A2SD+.
Also try taking of the battery for 10 secs and try after that.
Also can be a possible conflict with other widgets.

I'll try the battery idea but what other widgets could it be conflicting with?
Just pulled the battery and it didn't change anything!

Hmm, strange, other people said that after pulling the battery and re-booting they had missing the widget, so they had to add it again, but it was not gone after
Well, Custom widgets, like SIMI clock, desktop clock etc.

Any of those have animated weather like the stock HTC one or do I have to go with Beautiful Widgets?
Found this.
Still thinking about, why the default widget has the problem for you, but can't come to any solution.

p.s. Let me know if you find a solution please!
Well, I settled on Fancy Widget which seems to be working very well.
FOUND THE ANSWER!
Went into the clock app, cleared data and it's all working now!!
Haha, wanted to post that, but just got home, so I'm late with the answer.
Anyways, good to hear, you managed to solve it

Is there a way to have the cm 7.2 lockscreen on a froyo sense ROM? I love that lockscreen but I also love my Rempuzzle sense ROM...
Welcome to the end of your life, hail the oceanborn
Should not, but I think the sense of the beautiful lock screen, although the function is less
Apps
Sadly, replacing the lockscreen itself isn't as easy as flashing a new one in (like you can with the bootscreen). However, a wealth of apps are available that can change the outer look and functionality of your lockscreen (basically, giving you an entire new lockscreen, even if it really isn't). I can't link to anything right now, but searching for lockscreens in the Market should yield plentiful results!

I know most of you don't care about HTC "bloatware" and you probably think Sense would be an abomination on any Nexus device, but I am a huge Blinkfeed fan and I was able to install it by following the instructions listed here:
http://thebookofsarah.blogspot.com/2014/04/blinkfeed-apk-download-and-instalation.html
Couple of bugs still, weather icon isn't working for me and Facebook sync seems a bit off.
I really just wanted it for the news so it works perfectly for me.
Edit: Weather icon working now!
