I like the htc sense lock screen but want to know if there is any method to revert back to the stock android lock screen. And then back also if possible. Because many of us like the origional feel and its also a bit light on the resources (in which wildfire lags behind a lil as compared to most android phones).
Also any other methods to use the limited potential of the wildfire more productively are welcome.
I am not sure how the stock lock screen looks like. What I did was, I designed my own lock screen wallpaper (with my name on it) and applied it using Menu - Wallpaper - Lockscreen - Gallery (folder where I put my own design). But of course the slide down (without button pattern) to unlock is the same.
I understand there are many lock screen apps posted around in xda.
disable is easy;

goto the site and download app. But dont know how to get back the standart andorid lock screen.
BUMP.
I find the HTC Lock Screen annoying. Always answering calls when I pull my phone out of my pocket.
Any way to get back to the Vanilla Lockscreen? (besides flashing a AOSP ROM?)

Download wildpuzzle rom and flash 0201 to remove htc lockscreen and other htc stuff
Temporary fix: Installed Screen Suite, bypasses the HTC Lockscreen. SLide to unlock and then you get the Answer/decline buttons.
Kinda busy now, I don`t have the time to flash custom ROMS and mess around with settings.
I tried this by pulling everything and cooking a rom from that, leaving out htclockscreen.apk.
The result was a stretched, ugly looking landscape-like vanilla lockscreen. Still looking further into this, if I succeed, ill post here.
OK, I found this:
http://geekfor.me/hero/fixes/vanilla-lockscreen/
But it`s for HTC Hero. At a first glance I think that it won`t work on the Wildfire because of the resolution, but maybe someone with knowledge of extracting apk`s and making update.zip files
(maybe applying the hero update.zip works directly woks, I don`t know, but the difference in resolution makes me think that there are different coordinates for display elements)
The general ideea is this,:
Extract the clock.apk from a Wildfire AOSP source
See if the modifications in the Hero files can be applied to the Wildfire
If not, maybe remake, or duplicate
create a .zip file that can be applied from a recovery mode.
I know it sounds like a lot, and I would do it myself, but due to problems and college, I don`t really have the time to start learning all this now. Maybe in the Christmas holiday.
Any devs interested in this?
Yes you can remove HTC Sense lock screen and revert to Vanilla lock screen. Procedure is simple but root and S-OFF is a must. Just install a root explorer like ES File Explorer. Navigate to Phone memory /system/app. Find and delete (make backup if you want it back later) HtcLockScreen.apk. Reboot your phone and you are done!

I've managed to do this without S-OFF. I just used titanium back up to uninstall the HTC Lock screen. back to stock. the problem is, the stock lock screen has the horrible weather widget instead of the clock, and I can't find a way to edit it. Did you have the same issue?

ahh 2.1 thats why. 2.2 if you remove the lockscreen apk you just get a straight up vanilla lockscreen, no mod required. on 2.1 youre better off getting widgetlocker or something off the sort as a lockscreen replacement.
i have seen mentions of widgetlocker, i will get this app soon. thanks for the help
Wait. There is a file you need and then it'll work on 2.1 - I'll post as soon as I'm back at my computer.
Ok found it! Download this file and use recovery mode to apply it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=362754&d=1279498582
Although the above post will work to fix the lock screen, seeing as it's 2.1, the lock screen will have the option to unlock and science the phone, but not vibrate, as that is on the 2.2 only. Just an fyi

How do I remove the lockscreen apk? I am rooted using 2.5.2 skyraider. Can I delete the htc.lockscreen.apk from root explorer and if so where s it located? Will this work on skyraider?
Sent from my HTC Incredible using Tapatalk
I believe you can use root explorer, however I have not used that, I did it through adb. It is the htclockscreen.apk and .odex files. However, I would not remove them as you might want to put them back on at a later date. Use the mv command to either rename out something you will remember like htlockscreen.apk.bak, our move or to another directory. And it should be located under /system/apps.

has anyone got this working on froyo????? if so please help....i as well would kill for the rotary LS
Easy way is install unrevoked forever
Then use root explorer to rename
Htclockscreen.apk to .Bak.
Don't forget to reboot after you rename it.

A few things to note: this will not change the slider on the incoming call screen. Also, I've heard of issues silencing an alarm with the HTC lockscreen APK missing.
has anyone found a way to get this to work and NOT have problems with the alarm clock?

This has been discussed many many times...but you will have to use the vanilla clock app to use the alarm. If you try to use wprldclock or setting worldclock through the sense widget you will have to do a battery pull to silence

Thanks OP!
I'm running the new OTA Deodexed and for the life of me I can't get the vanilla clear lockscreen to work help por favor
Have you tried using Titanium Backup to uninstall HTC's lockscreen? Fresh Rom has a patch that deletes the HTC lockscreen and adds in the Android clock. Not sure how else you can do it on rooted OTA roms.
Coming from the Hero (I'm sure you remember what a pain it was to get the vanilla lock to render in portrait) I was astonished when, on my evo, I removed HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app and rebooted and VOILA! Vanilla lock works natively on 2.2 on the EVO, you just need to get HTC's slide down lock out of the way first.
I made this real quick-like. It worked for me on 3.28. Flash through recovery. Always nandroid backup.
I did delete htc lockscreen .... Just gets stuck in a boot loop .... Should I delete lockscreen with the zip above?

The zip above deletes the HTCLockscreen.apk for you. It also adds in the Vanilla apps like Desk Clock, Music, and 3D Gallery. What ROM are you on?

For my stock-ROM Evo, I want to be able to disable the HTC slide-down lock and use the pattern lock.
Can I simply delete the .apk (presuming I need root for this) and the AOSP/Android screen lock will just show up?
Thanks.
I have managed to finally root my evo 2.2 with unrevoked3 and i am a noob i was into apple, i knew a lot about jailbreaking etc. but android is much better.(my opinion) i am trying to install MattedBlues-V1_3-CM6.0.0-Sept12 and i really want to have the normal android lock "Flan" but i cant seem to find it. I have tried Lockbot but i didnt like it at all because i have the overclocked widget and it lags for lockbot. i want to see what the message says if i get on at the lockscreen or a missed call etc.. i know i will be getting a lot of criticism because i do admit i am a noob to android world. i am learning. so i give myself credit for that.
please any help/directions would be really helpful
thank you xda forums

First. to use a theme you flash it jsut like a rom (except you dont need to preform a wipe for most themes). you jsut place it on your sd card go to recovery and flash.
for the vanilla lock bar. The easiest way i have found is to use root explorer or titanium back up or even adb to remove htcLockScreen.apk from your system folder. then reboot the phone. as a warning if you use alarms you will run into problems using the HTCWorldCLock.
hope that helps some

now there is a CM6 version and a sense 2.2 version. i would get the sense 2.2 verison correct? and i have titanium back up and i froze htc lockscreen but its still there, i have to uninstall? and i will get the vanilla lock?
please i just installed the theme and everything is force closing!! help me please!!
SO I deleted the HTCLOCK.APK thinking I could just use pattern lock but I got the left to right slider came up now. I like the htc clock so it really borks the alarm.
Anyway I've tried flashing MYN rom twice but the lock I had doesnt come up' I would rather not wipe data as I cant grasp why I should have to. The rom should install the lock app back on right? I've extracted it from the rom and tried installing it that way. it fails.

Try going to the htc sense app, deleting data and restarting it or have someone on that rom pull the lockscreen apk. I'm on Fresh, so if i pulled it, im not sure it would work for you
Use root explorer or adb push to put it back in...note has to be in /system/app
Also, locker widget locker (paid app) will allow u to set whatever lock screen u want without them being installed...
Via EVO on XDA app...
Thanks for the replys. I went ahead and did a full on wipe and it fixed it. full wipes arent to bad now that google keeps the apps. As for the aftermarket locks, I've tried that one and lock 2.0 and they both are a little buggy and still dont silence the stock alarm clock.
I am on the stock rom, rooted recently. I am using the stock alarm and when the alarm goes off, I see the default android unlock screen and once I unlock, there is no way to dismiss or snooze the alarm. I could do anything on the phone (e.g. turn it silent) but nothing short of a reboot would make the sound go. I have removed the HTC lock screen, could that be the cause of this or was it because of removing something else. I think I went according to one of the threads where while removing stuff, but I have certainly messed up somehow.

Yeah, that is your problem. Removing the lockscreen and still using HTC's clock app causes this issue. I'm not sure where it is, but there is a thread that has these mods in them that would remove the HTC Lock Screen and replace the clock to the AOSP clock. If you don't feel like doing that, just get a different alarm app from the Market. If you want something different, Gentle Alarm is pretty cool
I found the mod, but since I have already removed the Lockscreen (and now the HTC Clock as well), if someone can point me to the apk for the stock ASOP clock that works with EVO, that would be great. I've been trying to search it but haven't been able to find an apk that works with EVO. (I extracted the apk in that mod, but it did not install).

Moved it to the /system/apps folder, changed the file permission to 777 and restarted the phone. No luck.
Ignore that, another restart and it works. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough or maybe it needed a reboot. Thanks guys.
