Also download "no lock" to disable the stock lockscreen
What's 'no lock'? I thought just using a lockscreen app would get rid of that one and put another one I want?
Yes, it puts it "on top", but doesn't completely replace out like out works with home launchers, abd eventually, the stock lockscreen pops up on top of your custom one.
No Lock disables the default keyguard so you can use a custom one without issues.

Be careful, once you use no lock the genius button can wake the phone and place calls.

If you are rooted, you can remove the HTC lockscreen app from /system. The default froyo lockscreen is just being overridden by that app.

Rock on! I always hated that lock screen! *presses easy button*
I would also add that a reboot is necessary.

I used root explorer to move the htclockscreen.apk and the odex files to my sdcard, got the standard froyo lockscreen. Moving it back didn't put the htc lockscreen back though, I still have the standard froyo. Now that I got rid of it, I kind of want it back, lol.
Actually, this may be a problem, I may need to exchange my Mytouch. Even a factory reset doesn't do it. I've wiped and restored it, still have the stock froyo lockscreen. The files are back in system/app, but I can't get it back somehow.
Try re installing the apk in the root folder, the n reboot, I haven't tried , just a theory

Tried that, nothing. I may just need to find a stock rom to flash now.
Did you reboot it after install
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
It wouldn't let me install, "application not installed". And yes, I had it mounted r/w. It's in there, it just isn't seeing it.
I tried, same here, I even tried fix permission in rom manager with no luck ...

Hmm, I think I should bring this up as a separate thread, this could be an issue if anyone needs to go back completely to stock.
Quick question though, do you ever see the left slide bar missing every now and then? Sometimes when I turn the screen on the left slide bar is invisible, but it shows when I touch it.
4 shared.com search for "go to .apk"

Yeah the left side did that to me too, luckily I did a nandroid right after root, took me back to stock. If you didn't, do that next time!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
once this is doe is there anyway to get a picture on the background of the froyo background
I uninstalled the htc lockscreen on mine but I did a nandroid backup beforehand, and after doing that I just did a restore and it came back to working fine, don't know if that helps anyone out any

I'm using lockbot pro to change the mytouch standard lock screen to the froyo style lock screen. The problem is that I still have to unlock the standard screen and then it gives me the froyo to unlock. How do I disable the standard screen so I only get the one I want?

Use WidgetLocker Lockscreen. It is the best 2 bucks I have spent in a long time!! I am rooted but you dont have to be to use it. It does help though. My avatar pic is my lockscreen. I run it with no slider and a time delay on a button unlock it. It has lots of options for several types of lockscreens and other stuff also.
If u want the stock froyo lockscreen just go into system/ apply then delete the htclocksreen.apk and it will restore the froyo lockscreen you don't need nolock or anything else

You need to be rooted and s=off to edit/delete/add anything to the system file. If you are temp rooted and/or s=on you cannot use just the AOSP lockscreen.
I use the app: lock suppresor with the lockbot pro app.
works for me
I cannot seem to get it back. Anyone have this problem?

Well, I just did that..thing is, while it was blank I changed it to a diff app thinking it would switch back when I changed the screen. After the last update, I still have the other app I selected. My phone is still gone!
For me, i can still select phone for my lockscreen shortcuts, but its not in my app drawer. Should it be this way?
Seems like a PICNIC error to me.
I have the same issue. I did ALL the updates and my phone app is still missing,and yes I have been reading all the forums/blogs.

So for clarity, you have the phone shortcut available for lockscreen, but not in app drawer?
Go in to the settings where you can change which apps show. Select a different one then chose the phone again and it will show.

Cool thanks for that. It doesn't matter since the main sense button is phone anyway. I downloaded adw ex to see if the phone icon would show up in that app drawer and it did, so i imagine its just not supposed to be in the sense app drawer to avoid redundancy.

I think it's this...
I haven't done a single update and the phone isn't in my app drawer. I removed it from my lockscreen in favor of the flashlight (which, among other important things..htc didn't include).
I am having a few issues and since it looks like root is out of the question unless HTC miraculously keeps their promise .. I may just do all the OTAs.

You might as well, when root is found, or when HTC unlocks it, there will have been several more OTA's to worry about. Just enjoy the fixes for now. Just my input.

Yea you're right. If we ever do get root, it isn't gonna be anytime soon. I may as well get this thing as functional as possible.
I fixed the app missing by doing a reset. I was all up to date but the update didn't go into effext until I did a reset.
Sent from my 3vo
So I have done all the updates and today I did a hard reset on my phone. The phone icon was on my lockscreen until I changed some of the other icons. It is no longer there and I cannot select it either.
I am wondering if the small updates stick after a hard reset? I went to check for any updates and it says none available. Is there anyway to install the small updates manually from somewhere?
Edit....Just an FYI after I kept checking for updates, eventually the small app updates was available and now I got my phone icon back. So anyone who hard resets their device after the updates, make sure you keep checking for the small app update because it does not stick after a hard reset and it did not auto prompt me to do so either.
Can anyone help me out with finding an app or mod that can disable the lock screen altogether? I've tried the No Lock app in the market and this makes my keyboard extremely sticky and laggy after some time. Even using Widgetlocker renders my keyboard unusable. My keyboard gets sticky whether I'm using the Gingerbread keyboard, smart keyboard or even swiftkey. So what I've gathered is that tinkering with my lock screen at all will make my touch screen buggy. Does anyone know of a work around so that I am able to disable the lock screen and get to my home page as fast as possible? Thanks much.
If you're rooted, try going into the system app and renaming the htclockscreen.apk. I wouldn't delete it, just rename it to something like htclockscreen.apk.bak or something. In theory it should work and will get rid of the lockscreen all together. You can find it under system>apps>htclockscreen.apk
Thanks for the response. I'm currently using a senseless rom which means that I'm using the vanilla gingerbread lock screen. However, I have made the mistake of uninstalling all of my lock screens before and I was just left with a blank screen when I would power up my phone from sleep. Do you think that renaming it will have a different effect?
I'm not sure. I haven't used the gingerbread lockscreen in a while :/

Use tasker. There is an option under display to disable the lockscreen.
I have a profile set for "driving" that disables the lockscreen among other things.
Oops nevermind.

This produces the same results as all of my previous attempts . Regardless of keyboard, the keyboard becomes less responsive and It takes much harder presses to get a letter to register.

This is the first app that I tried and the app that I used to use on every reboot with my Evo 4G. Doesn't work as well on my 3d however.. I'm surprised that I'm the only one with this problem. I've tried using no lock on a fresh and stock rom with no custom apps installed ,and that didn't work either. Maybe I just touch too lightly when typing? Although I notice no problems when my lock screen is enabled.
Lol dog44 that's the same thing I said until I read the op post again.....oops.
Try using "touch screen booster", it seems to help some people with typing issues.
I got to thinking. Go ahead and look for the lockscreen apk in the system files and rename it. If it does give you the blackscreen you could just rename it again and it will put it right back.

Ok, I tried this and it worked, but now I get the Android lockscreen? The one where you slide the lock icon to the side to unlock. How do I get rid of that one?
I'm using MeanROM, but I prefer an AOSP style lockscreen. Can anybody tell how to get, or make, one without using a non-Sense launcher?
Widget locker out of the market
Go locker/launcher is worth looking into as well
Use your root file browser and go to system, app, rename HTC lockscreen (add .bak to it so you can go back to it if you want later) reboot, and you'll have stock ics lockscreen. You just won't have any of the sense features, like seeing who's calling, or answering without unlocking first. Give it a shot, you can always restore sense lockscreen if it's not what you wanted.

Hmmm. Here's what I would try next, just for the hell of it: remove all of your icons from your dock and from your main home screen. Change your wallpaper to something else stock. Reboot. Put one normal, everyday (like the phone dialer or people, etc) icon/shortcut - not a widget - in your dock. Reboot. Check lockscreen. See your shortcut?
HTH!
Try going to personalize under settings and go to lock screen. There should be options for different lock screen options.

What did you install before this happened? You said you are stock, but are you rooted? Delete anything? This wouldn't just disappear without either clicking that setting off, or deleting something you shouldn't have.
I know you said stock... but did you install a different launch.. ie Nova, Apex... etc. and stop/freeze sense. When i did that i lost the lockscreen apps. Kinda sucks but sense needs to be running to have those, regardless of using it or not.... Good luck

Don't disable Sense. As far as enabling it to change the dock, just go into Nova settings and use the "Default launcher" button towards the bottom. Go to Sense, "Just Once" and set your dock. Hit the Home button and click Nova, "Always". Done.
