WARNING: Currently there is no known way to reset the lockscreen back to Sense (without wiping your device)! Only continue if you really want to remove the Sense lockscreen!
I'm sure you've noticed all the posts on how to install a custom launcher, or how to get back the stock lock screen. Sadly, a lot of methods on this require root. Well, while I was prodding around my One, I found a method of disabling the Sense lock screen. Here's how I (think) I did it:
1. Download a file browser (I recommend ES File Explorer)
2. Navigate to /system/app
3. Find "HTCLockScreen.apk" and copy it to /sdcard
4. Navigate to /sdcard and try installing the APK (you'll need unknown sources enabled for this).
6. It may or may not say that the installation failed. Ignore that and restart the phone.
7. Enjoy!
Now, this is what I think is causing the HTC lockscreen to be disabled, although I'm not sure. Post a response with your results.
~~~~~~~~
Now, for those of you who want the stock launcher instead of custom one (like Nova or Apex), here's an APK you can install to get just that: http://goo.gl/cwdtHO
Hope this helps some people!
Nevermind.
Shouldn't, in theory at least, when you try to install that APK, it is placing something in /data/, which is writeable, so when the APK that is in /system/ checks, it finds two versions, one which has the permission to override the default, and one who doesn't?
I could be completely wrong there.

How exactly would we go back to the Sense lock screen if we changed our mind?
I just tried, and yes. It does persist through reboots.

That I cannot seem to figure out, as the entry in Settings->Apps cannot be uninstalled.

I just tried this and previously had pin unlock. I cannot change it to anything but pin, password, and pattern unlock. I don't see how its possible to add DashClock this way. Are you guys able to choose "none" or "face unlock" for security?

Yeah, I don't think you can really customize how this AOSP lockscreen works without setting it up beforehand. I would like to get the AOSP lockscreen with DashClock and pin unlock. I wonder if that's possible.
Are you using pin or pattern unlock?

I've got an idea of how to fix that, just need to test it.
yeah this worked, but like the others, no customization available and I can't get sense back atm. Luckily I like this lockscreen better, just wish I could put dashclock in and add other widgets

I already restored my backup, but can you try hitting "Clear Credentials" in Security settings to see if it will then allow you to switch to no security for customization? I forgot to try this beforehand.

Customization worked for me. What I had to do was remove all existing widgets (swipe down from home screen > long press and drag to remove) **I think I had to do this twice** and then my lock screen was blank no clock just the lock icon with swipe to unlock.
Then go to settings > personalize and select the "widget" lock screen option, select settings and pick the widget you want. I used Chronus (CLock from CyanogenMod). I then locked and unlocked my device and the widget now shows on the screen.

Just changed mine from Chronus clock to Calendar widget and back no problems.
Maybe an issue with you using the custom rom vs. me being stock?
Sorry about the Google Drive link, forgot you have to manually allow people to download. I'll add a new link soon.
Can someone take a screenshot of what it looks like on their phone after the switch?

Anyone know what this line is for on the ambient display for android p?

I'm thinking it may be where weather would go if you have that feature set up. I don't. Wondering if there's a way to remove it.
Thanks!

I assumed it was just a separator between the phone's info (time, date, etc) and the notifications? I guess you need to find someone who has the weather enabled (I don't) to see if it's still there. I'm guessing it is.

No it isn't, it's where the weather should be. Unfortunately it requires a clean wipe to fix.

This comment says you don't need to:

N.B.: I have a Pixel 2 XL and got the Android P through OTA if that matters."

The line is a seperator on ambient display, the pics in the link you quoted are the lockscreen, not ambient display.
the weather on ambient display appears to the right of the date just as it does on homescreen.
remember ambient display is an all black screen.
And yes, it also does appear on the lockscreen, in the same format: date - weather
Seems some people have it, others dont.
I had it yesterday, but its gone today.

Yep it is a separator to split out notifications from the standard Ambient Display info.
Thanks for the info on getting the weather to display. Good stuff! :good:
When I fixed the weather thing I just removed the Google update then put it right back. No reboot was required for me.

Thanks for this. I do have F set there, which means on the homescreen I have the correct temperature, but on the lockscreen it's in C. Odd.

ohh, that is very odd.
I didn't need to wipe the phone to fix the missing weather on the lock screen. Go into apps and disable Google. That reverts it to an older version. Reenable and give it a little bit and it will be there.

Although it's less of a problem, because this morning it has disappeared altogether. Still, never mind. I'll just look out of the window.
I actually never got it to work even though I tried the "fix" I quoted. And further along in the comments, it looks like it disappears for everyone.

I reported mine worked last night after disabling Google then re-enabling it. This morning it is gone again.

Is it normal getting apps not running in full screen? covering all edges?
Ive tryed the settings to "fullscreen mode" in adv settings but still not working...

Some games seems to not get full screen too.

this is the fix because i tried the Fullscreen settings but nothing happened but figured a way to make them full screen follow my steps :
1)- go to settings
2)- search for "notch in individual apps"
3)- change the setting of your game from "Auto" to "Always show notch"
4)- enjoy bro the full screen

Update: This only works if you are rooted now, since the January 2022 patch.
Hi guys, I've seen several posts asking how to remove the Gesture Pill. It's easy if you're rooted, but it's also possible if you're not rooted.
Here is a step by step guide. There is also a huge amount of UI mods that can be made using the same method.
1. Download the Shizuku app from the Playstore
2. Start the Shizuku app by running the following adb command:
adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh
3. Download and install FabricateOverlay release from Github.
4. In FabricateOverlay click “Add Overlay”
5. Choose Android System
6. Click “Add”
7. Set “android:dimen/navigation_bar_height” to 1. Apply. Save. Tick.
8. Set “android:dimen/navigation_bar_frame_height” to 0. Apply. Save. Tick.
9. Enjoy!
Let me know in the thread if anything is unclear.
Thanks to @squee666 for an alternative solution that does not affect the keyboard! Try it out!

Very nice, thank you for this!
Points 8 and 9 xan you be more specific.
Damn, it's too bad that the overlay system can't change fonts. I don't even want to install custom fonts, I just want to change the system default to the new Google font instead of Roboto. Without root.
Can we enable Fluid Navigation Gestures after applying a similar tweak?

Basically you need to search "android:dimen/navigation_bar_height" by entering it in the search box. Then click on it. Then add the value in the value box and click "Apply". There are screenshots showing how it works here.

Great! It works. Thanks!
But there seems to be one down-side ... when you enable the overlay the Google keyboard does not longer show the "down" marker to make the keyboard disappear. The android:dimen/navigation_bar_frame_height (0) is causing that. See attached 2 screenshots. First one is without overlay enabled, second one has overlay enabled. Notice how the little downward pointing arrow is gone on the second one.

Good point. However, you just need to swipe back for the keyboard to disappear.

It might be possible to increase the bottom margin of the keyboard in system.ui. I'll check in a bit.
Edit: Actually, the handle is part of the navbar, which is the reason why it disappears when removing the navbar.

Just open the Shizuku app and press "Start" in "Start (for rooted devices)".
So on Android 10, there was an overscan feature that allowed the 3 button navigation to be hidden and replaced with 3rd party navigation apps such as Fluid Navigation Gestures. This allowed swipe up from the bottom navigation much like OnePlus and Samsung offer. My curiosity is if this mod allows third party apps the hide and utilize the navbar.

Basically you only need to give the app permission to change the settings (i.e. write to secure settings). Once the system setting is written it sticks. But if you want to change the value again you will need to go through the same process with both apps.
