Changing lock/slider unlock bar?

[Nils]

One that that needs to be done on most ROM's is to go into Settings Applications > Running and locate the clock and clear data. Then go rename the HTCLockscreen.apk and reboot.

Thanks, Nils! Hopefully that gets the OP where he wants to be.

Thanks Nils, I updated the OP of my post to reflect that.

I tried again using this method, no luck created endless boot loop. Ill try loading up a lockscreen from the rom manager package while doing this first.

edit: nope still stuck. perhaps my phone has no lockscreen to fall back on, is there anyway i can add it or replace the current file?

I would like one that Looks like this, apparently the stock droid one. http://www.incredibleforum.com/forum...1010031659-jpg

What i did was: i went into system/app and renamed htclockscreen.apk to htclockscreen.pak so it wouldnt load. I used the root explorer application and I used windows command prompt to rename back to .apk after it failed to load.
Followed this thread
Android Lockscreen for Sense ROMs


However, i restarted my phone and it got stuck in a boot loop, so i had to name it back to be able to boot.

I've used it on sky3.3 n installed from rr goodies.

re inspector, do I just load the zip in clockwork mod? I'm not 100 % certain I can find the right zip. i really can't explain these endless loops.

According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686567

Issues/bugs : HTC alarm clock, won't work on odexed ROM (stock, or MCR r2) do not even try it on these ROMs you will most propably get endless loop.

skyraider is deodexed right?

I am running Skyraider 3.3.2 and I have the vanilla lockscreen. I used the same method s197 posted and it worked without a hitch. Not really sure why is doesn't work for you.

Wierd. Im looking now.. In /System/Framework there is a folder called lockscreens, and in that folder is... what appears to be the rotary and tab unlock screens 'android.policy.rotary.jar' and 'android.policy.tab.jar'

So those files are present, however when i try to rename htclockscreen to something other than .apk, it results in endless loop boots. dunno

Ok this is where I am at now. I replaced my SR 3.3 Sense with SR 3.0 RC3. I didnt use sense ui anyway, and it comes default with the lock bar i wanted. I have all my applications restored and kings 5 kernel, and I feel like my system is in an identical spot to the way it was before. Is there any downsides to using SR 3.0 RC3 versus 3.3 Sense? other then i cant use htc widgets.
