So with the new exploit for 4.4 by jcase (thanks for that by the way), I have root access and s-off. Being as my m7 is still relatively new and I'm not sick of Sense (yet), I installed the stock 4.4 m7 rom. I have no complaints except for the fact that my apps do not want to show up in the lock screen. I also can't seem to add any widgets to the home screen (not that I want to but just seems odd). Anyway, wondering if this is something that I'm just missing or if it is a flaw in the rom.
Thanks

Sense 5.5 lockscreen is different then previous versions of Sense.
You only have limited widgets that you can add to the lockscreen.
You have to swipe to the side from the top right edge of the lockscreen.
To add widgets to the homescreen, tap and hold on the homescreen, you should have a bunch of widgets that can be added.
Everything works in the rom, it's stock, as HTC made it.
Sounds like you just aren't familiar with Sense 5.5 yet.
There are guides online about the changes and differences between Sense 5 and Sense 5.5 that may help you see what has changed.
I understand that the lockscreen has changed in sense 5.5. I have been using the phone for about a month. The lockscreen just doesnt give me any option to swipe in any direction. I can add widgets to the home screen, its just the lock screen thats giving me the issue. And usually if I recall correctly, on the lock screen, there are usually some translucent arrows indicating that you can swipe to add widgets, and i dont seem to have that
Thanks
There's a setting somewhere to enable lockscreen widgets. Been a while since I flashed s new Rom so I can't remember where.

So I ended up flashing a new rom with sense 6 in it so this is not an issue anymore. Thanks anyway

Hey Folks,
I've recently rooted my device to DamageControl v3.2.3 and am LOVING this ROM. With just LauncherPro, JuiceDefender and disabling SENSE - my battery life has virtually tripled.
Of course, now I'm missing some of my SenseUI apps, namely the Clock/Alarm/Stopwatch/Timer application...does anyone out there know if this can be enabled/installed without having Sense enabled?
If it can't be enabled without going back to Sense, can anyone recommend a comparable app?
Thanks!
As far as i know, you cannot use any Sense Widgets or Apps while it's disabled. I suggest "Better Alarm" in the Market -- it's like the stock Android clock app. It doesn't have as many features as the Sense Clock, but it has enough to still be useful.
Hop that helps.
Thanks for the reply Veritas! I found a solution with a little testing...apparently re-enabling the HTC/Sense lock screen does the trick.
Immediately upon doing this, the HTC Clock app is now available for use! I'm not sure how much of a memory/resource footprint this has, but from my initial testing performance appears on par to my initial settings.
Hope this is a useful post for anyone else out there that's curious.
DC is a great ROM.

I am definitely still new to the ROM scene, but is enabling the lock screen the same as enabling Sense altogether? I still use a few HTC widgets and apps, I could replace them, but if this allows them without turning on the whole Sense UI that would be cool!

It is my understanding (and i could be wrong) but if you disable Sense but keep the lock screen enabled that you will not be able to turn off an alarm if sent using the "sense" clock. You may want to test this BEFORE you need to use it lol.

Omega, I didn't have any problems disabling it this morning. The Alarm functionality seems to be tied directly to the Sense lock screen and native app - as I was able to dismiss/and snooze with just the lock screen.
As a side note, it seems without Sense enabled I can't use the clock/weather widget...it seems to be cooked into the Sense Launcher. However, with Beautiful Widgets I don't particularly miss this feature.

Silver, I don't think the lock screen is 100% the same as enabling Sense as a whole for DC, but I may be wrong. I definitely can't use the Sense launcher w/ just the lock screen enabled, so I figure they're two separate application pieces.
I'm also still green to modding with the Evo, so maybe a more experienced modder or dev can clarify this question? *fingerscrossed*
HI Guys,
First post so huge apologies for any daft questions!
Before anyone asks I did try and search for the answer to this but with unfortunately no avail :-(
Ok, I am running the latest LeeDroid 2.3.3 ROM which is fantastic!
Today I added Sense 3.0 as linked on his page.
All is fine on boot and I'm presented with the new sense. However when i unlock the phone by moving the ring it reverts to my previous patten style unlock. This then leads onto my previous display/s.
The only difference i have is the way sms's are presented.
I can now see in the menu a category for lock screen has been added, but cannot seem to change any settings to allow Sense 3.0 interface to be running permanently?
I hope this makes sense to someone and many thanks in advance for any help i get.
EDIT* i have now noticed that it has the new alarm and incoming call interfaces.
I'm guessing somewhere within the software my old display needs ro be removed!
Regards
Rory
If you have the lock on in settings you can unlock with the 3.0 but you will always be prompted for the code.
Thanks for the reply!
I get that bit, but why do i lose Sense 3.0 all together? It is only there when the phone is locked.
I have just tried disabled the patten lock i had.
So now when i move the lock ring it goes straight to my old Sense displays?
Help.....
Hang on....
I'm not being stupid am I and that is all there is to this patch? Just the lock screen?
If so massive apologies!
EDIT* I doubt I being a moron
The weather page is different too, so it must be a software clash. Lee, or any other android gurus if you are reading this, any suggestions whatsoever as I reckon it is trying to run 2 versions of Sense?

You may find you have more sucess with this if you post it in Development section of the forum as they have much higher volumes of traffic/people on them.

Maybe your getting confused about these Sense 3.0 add-ons with Sense 2.1 etc?
If you flashed Lee's All-In-One Sense Patch (as in my signature) you just have the Sense 3.0 lockscreen, mms, weather. Installing the Rosie 3 (3D) is just the Sense 3.0 launcher, it is not full Sense 3.0, but still 2.1.
Best to install everything after Full wipe all parttions, rebooting between flashes, do not resore system apps & data, make sure clear the relevant apps data as in SEO's thread, reboot, flash Rosie 3, reboot, restore user apps & data / restore market links, reboot CWM clear dalvk, reboot, setup gmail etc and homescreens (do this last)...... I think you get the drift
Cheers that make Sense
I was starting to figure out what was going on too, but the day i posted this was after a massive session of learning how to root, change radio/kernel etc with my phone and a gps issue...... my head was not quite on straight!
Your post hits the nail on the head. I indeed only have the 3.0 lock screen, mms and weather. As of course it should be!
How do you find Rosie 3D?
Btw. Our phones apart from Rosie3D are the same software spec.
If you've flashed the sense 3 all in one, you'll find the Rosie 3D link below it on Lee's thread.

No need to answer as I can see for myself...
If you haven't already, new lockscreen options found in personalize. You can assign shortcuts to the lockscreen from there as well.
Edit: if you slow down spare parts animations to normal, weather animation shows better after pressing power button to show weather lockscreen.

i have an issue i flash leedroid rom with sense 3.0 mods which is great
but there is a problem with the weather lockscreen
weather updates fine in the app but when i apply the weather lockscreen it says "no weather forecasts available"
also all other lockscreens work fine its just the weather one
i also cleared data from htc weather sync provider....but still no effect to the weather lockscreen....plz help
ok, I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756479 and there were some suggestions like the nolock app, wildpuzzle, etc.
I just got rid of cm7 and testing shooter's newest, and yea the 3.0 lock is slow and annoying, but rather than just removing, I would love the gesture feature that c7 offers. Is there any way/ app that can do that while not on the c7 rom?
I did search and haven't found anything yet.
Tnx
Since the lockring style lock screen is a feature of sense 3.0 and guestures are a feature of AOSP, you couldn't easily swap it out. Only a skilled developer(or group) could get this to work.
On another note, I did see an app that replaced your lock screen with one that has a gesture function...but I read reviews of it not being implemented well.
Sent from my supersonic using XDA App
There is an app (free in market) called no lock that works quite well for removing the lockscreen altogether.
I knew that back in the day on Sense 1.0 roms you could replace the Sense lockscreen with the AOSP one. I think you also had to switch out the clock so that you could dismiss alarms or something.
I never did this because I never run Sense, but I remember reading about it. I also don't know if it works on 3.0 roms, but it could be a place to start.
You could also try WidgetLocker. It doesn't have gesture support, but you can place sliders, shortcuts, and apps on the lockscreen. I know it's not what you're looking for, but it's a much easier solution & a nifty app as well.

Thanks guys. I used nolock in the past and the only issue is it does just that, it removes ALL security. So if I can't get the gesture, I would settle for a pin/pattern, etc. Even though I enable the pattern security, if nolock is enabled, it ignores that so it seems with a sense rom it's either ring + other security or nothing at all right?
Grrrr! Thanks
Hi,
As I use a PIN to unlock my phone, I'd like to remove the ring lock screen.
I know how to do it in CM7 but can't find it under ICS...
I'm on Leedroid ROM.
Thank you.
You can't without replacing the lockscreen for an alternative
Hasn't LeeDroid tweaks got an option to replace the HTC lockscreen with the standard ICS one?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
any luck?
Even I am annoyed with the round unlock screen.. is there any way to change it to stock ICS (or anything else) ? I am currently on the untouched Stock HTC OneX ICS
Anyways for this?
I'm fairly sure the lock screen is unchangeable on the stock ROM, custom ROM's there is usually an option to use one of the many ICS lock screens and in some cases lock screens from previous versions of Android. As for LeeDroid I'm not too sure as I have never used it, but in other ROM's the setting is usually found inside the ROM Control or ROM settings inside the settings menu.

What custom ROM's are you talking about that have options for the lock screen?
I know that the MIUI ROM uses a different lock screen, and if you don't want to use the entire ROM, you can use the MIUI Launcher app to add it to any ROM.
I too would like to simply disable or remove it somehow if at all possible.

Hey guys, Im currently running Trickdroid on my HTC and im really enjoying the HTC Sense feel. However, there are a few very minor things i thought that might make the experience that much better.
For one, i really like the HTC Sense stock camera; Easy options, Zoe, the seamless switching etc, but i would really like to be able to manually adjust the focus. I found you can change the exposure but i cant find any focus options.
Another thing (very minor) being the Sense "Recent Apps" ( double tap home) , for some reason it doesn't seem to support "multi-touch" and i can only swipe away one app at a time, even if i start from top to bottom. It would be awesome if i could just quickly swipe apps away before waiting for the fading animation to finish.
And lastly, the lockscreen. I do like the simplicity of the stock lockscreen but there's one thing that annoys me occasionally, if i miss tap or don't swipe properly it pops up with a short animation and says "Pull up to unlock" and the screen is unresponsive for the second the animation is happening.
Like i said, these are VERY minor things but having a solution would just complete it.
If you have any suggestions or fixes, they would be greatly appreciated
Possibly through XPOSED Modules?
Bump.......Ideas anyone?
I've never seen anything about anybody else asking about these issues so I would think the chance of a Mod existing or being made is very slim indeed ... You could ask in the Xposed thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335241&highlight=xposed ... Maybe the Dev could help you out.
