[Q] Enable Menu Unlock - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on MikFroYo with Slayer69's CYAN Dragon Theme I have vanilla lock screen. I want menu unlock. Every thing I find is how to disable it. I tried
the app on the market but it dose not work. If anybody can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Me too. I'd also like a way to undim my screen with the power button. My top button has just about bit the dust.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.

Nobody knows how to do this.

Lol I know it's on cm but I don't like cm. The aosp phone sucks, and I don't like adw or any other launcher other than stock.

Not sure I can help but don't understand the "I want menu unlock". Can you explain this better or in a different way so I get a grasp on what you want to do?

When i had Fresh rom I would remove HTC lock screen and would be able to swipe the screen to unlock or push the menu button. It seems like everybody is disabling this.

Sorry for the delay.
This is what I would try first after doing a nand backup of course!
Click on the paperclick by the Fresh Rom post and download "Rosie.apk". Install it and should overwrite the one Mik uses. This might give you what your looking for.
However, I could be wrong and it may just change the theming. But easy to return to what you have now with quick restore. I found a zip to add this feature but it was for Fresh on the Hero (which is where it originally came from). Not sure if it would work for the EVO.
Let me know if this didn't work and I will try to help further.
NM...here is what you want.

Just download the "Remove HTC Lockscreen" and flash it. Will give you the Vanilla Lockscreen and allow unlock using menu button according to thread.

*BUMP* See my previous post for solution.

Did not work it was disabled in the rom or the theme. If you look at the rotary lock screen post he disables it. I do not have that mod just an example. Some roms have it some do not. It has to do with the vanilla lock screen. With the theme I have he says to rename the HTC lockscreen app. witch lets the vanilla lock screen work.

Nexus lock screen?

Can we get the nexus lock screen for the evo? lol maybe that sounds stupid but I like the lock screen on the nexus so if its available can someone point me in the right direction?
Also quick question about the phone bar at the bottom, is there a diffrent version other then the stock one floating around that we can use? Not a big fan of launcher pro, ill try ADW next but really dont think I will like that one either. Either way after using launcher pro I have some real respect for HTC sense lol.
Also I am on the OMJ rom but I am willing to switch to another rom if needed.
this isnt the forum for this. this should be QA. anyway, if you are referring to the vanilla lock there are some roms that implement it. i have it on my fresh rom. there are issues with the vanilla lock and the htc clock app. you have to replace both to avoid issues with alarms if im not mistaken. i hope this helps. try to post in the correct forum next time. thanks

try fresh or damage control. both have the option thru the the built in updaters to change to the vanilla lock screen(nexus) and the rosie bottom bar..
Thanks both of you.

Droid lock screen for htc evo

Does anyone know how I can change the evo lock screen to the android lock screen like on the droid. It just looks so much better. That would be cool
Wrong forum.
Check under "Themes and Apps" for stuff like that.
Here's the thread your looking for:

No problem. - The original Sprint boot animation is so ugly I just can't believe they'd hire someone to make that stuff happen at Sprint.
Here's another link on how to apply a boot animation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697527
I think he was asking about the lock screen, not boot animations...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt the droid use the stock lock screen? If so, this is a theme in damagecontrol
I juss don't like the stock lock screen for the evo.i like the android lock screen better
Is there a way where I can still change my htc sense lockscreen to the droid lockscreen without rooting?
It was late last night. He DID ask about the lock screen.

Well at least be know how to add custom boot now.

doubtful, you need to be able to remove the htc lock screen apk i believe.
Well do I have to root my phone in order to run the boot animation?
I don't want to root my phone yet that's why, but maybe if I just do what you said
I think so, because to modify the boot animation files you have to have access to rw system
there is an app in the market to change your lock screen.i think is lockbot or something like that.

Yeah, he asked for the DroidX lock screen, not lockbot or anything else.
{does anyone know how I can change the evo lock screen to the android lock screen like on the droid}
LOCKBOT IS AN APP TO CHANGE YOUR LOCK SCREEN, you can change it to look like the one on the droid, you can chage it so it looks like the , iPHONE,ECLAIR,Froyo,x10, and galaxy, i think this would do what you want!!
ps. to the one that posted above me, are you forealz, do you even know what lockbot is???
Ok cool, then I guess I'll lockbot thanx guys

[Q] fresh 3.2 help?

im running fresh 3.2 with adw launcher. using fresh updater i set my theme to vanilla lock + clock - clock. the lock screen is fine but when i get a call it shows the swipe down lock instead of the vanilla lock, any ideas?
bump anyone?
I don't think you can change that. Mine is the same way. Maybe because its still a part of Sense and that zip doesnt delete the call unlock/answer. Maybe someone with more knowledge can provide input.

correct... It depends on who's rom it is and if they want to change that feature. It is changed in caulkins rom to resemble his lock screen.

[Q] [Request] Vanilla Slide To Answer [DEVS PLEASE]

The HTC SENSE slide up and down is driving me nuts when i carry my phone in my pocket i either answer or decline the call before i even see who it is.....
Ive searched countless forums for a Vanilla Slide to Answer just like the Slide to Unlock/ringer Slide and with no luck have i come across such mod..
Can any devs look into this or possibly point me in the right direction thanks
I believe the slide to answer/decline is part of the Phone.apk tied to Sense. A possible solution would be to try the AOSP Phone.apk but i'm not 100% if it will work.

Got the same issue and it also drives me nuts. Idiotic design.
I think you just use Root Explorer to delete /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk, then reboot. I've done it before.

nm the attached zip is just for lockscreen, not calls.
I was running Caulkins new rom and he has a different slide to answer lockscreen, so it can be done
Would really love to see this mod. The current design is absolutely idiotic. Cm6 currently had it. By just installing the aosp dialer does not give you this lock screen.

I'm tired of hanging up on people whenever i pull the phone out of my pocket, is what your requesting able to fix that?
I haven't found anything on changing the Call Slide to Answer Function without changing to another rom..... Would love to see a Signed or ADB Push way to do it to a Deodexed or Odexed Rom.....
Currently using the Newest OTA Odexed with Vanilla Lockscreen
Now if we could get a DEV to just make the Call Slide to Answer i and a few others would be very Grateful.....
But in the Meantime i will continue to search
Check out an app in the market called WidgetLocker. It replaces the lock screen and not only allows you to add widgets and shortcuts making the lockscreen a usuable screen, but you can select from sense slider, vanilla slider, iphone slider, and android rotary slider. It's the best app out there in my opinion.
Edit: you can set it to put itself in front of the call screen so that you need to unlock before you can slide to answer thus preventing unwanted answering.

I can confirm this does work but as the OP says, it's not ideal. If you try it out you'll see it's not all that elegant. Would be sweet if someone smarter than me could come up with a way to do it right.
If your rooted, go to Titanium Backup and uninstall the apk "htcsenselock". After uninstalled reboot your phone and you are in business. You will still have sense minus the annoying lock screen.
Edit:
Scratch that, it only changes the normal screen unlock...not the phone answer unlock.

Don't let this die!!
srsly! BUMP!
I hate this stupid slide up/down to unlock BS!
Guess no one can do this
yea this sucks man I either want to get rid of it or find out which file is it that you remove or edit so I can make my own slide to answer .png
This is one of the only reasons I've dropped my Sense roms and migrated to CM6. After using it for a few days and many hours of tweaking it with themes and widgets, it's nearly back looking like an HTC and not a G1 but with the super sexy vanilla lock.
Just delete HTCLockScreen.apk and you'll have a horizontal vanilla slider lock screen.

[Q] Deleting all Lockscreens

Hello everyone,
I've been looking for a few days, ever since i got Visidon Applock Plus, for a way to remove the lockscreen (both the HTC one and Vanilla one) because the lockscreen keeps showing up, so i have to unlock it, then face-unlock it, where i want to just use the face lock feature. is there something i can delete/remove/flash to get rid of the lockscreen?
Thanks
How about a lockscreen disabler?
Nolock works.
Sent from my RamenizedEvo on Cricket.
thanks for the reply
However, i tried using that, and it was very sporadic, like would work for a minute then the lockscreen would come back, then it'd work again, happened multiple times in the half hour or so i tried it, and same thing with 3 or 4 other "no-screenlock" apps
Ok. AOSP has a disable lockscreen.
Sent from my RamenizedEvo on Cricket.
ok, thanks. should've mentioned i'm on MikG 3.0 (i believe that's the version), and from what it's sounding like, there's no way to do it on sense, is there
Then ditch that sense and come to the aosp side. We have cookies

You could always delete HtcLockscreen.apk & .odex, but I'd definitely do a backup first, because I don't think you'd be able to unlock your device.
I've deleted those and it goes to the AOSP style side-drag tabs. thanks everyone, i'm just going to go back to CM, since i know how to disable the lockscreen there.
