Q: I'd like to obtain a new lockscreen. - HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title states, I'd like to obtain a new lockscreen for my phone. I searched for a little bit and seen some things that I like but have not really figured out how to install them to my phone or if it's possible to do so.

Widget Locker is probably the best app for customizing lock screens. It is a paid app on the market. In the general android theme section there is a whole thread of themes for it as well.

thank you, I'll look into it.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

That's the only way currently. CM7 and Gene's 2.2.2 don't have that option. I did hear from another thread that it would be theme-able in CM7 sometime soon, so keep checking for the update.

Lock bot is another free app on the market but widget locker is by far better.

Widget Locker is extremely customizable and well worth the $1.99.
you can find themes here as well: [THEMES] WidgetLocker Theme Collection

HTC Sense for the Atrix!!

Ok so we all know you cant actually get HTC sense ported to the atrix but I came up with a combo of apps that work as a perfect mirror of it.
Launcher: He launcher- use this to add the Sense style lancher bar. Lots of options for sense style
Wallpapers: Pyramid wallpapers- Includes all your favorite HTC wallpaers
Clock: Fancy widgets pro- Tons of sense style clocks, H7C is closest to stock
Sense Animations: Fancy widgets Pro-Enable it by clicking on the weather icon on the clock>menu>configure>Advanced>Enable forcast animation and enable unlock animation.
All apps are property of their owners I take no credit for design or funtion... just the pack of them together
Wow I was just checking here to see if I could find this. Taking this inspire back to exchange for the atrix

good to hear!
Nice work! So how long til the Sense port is complete? An ETA would sure be nice!
I have a confession guys... I traded my atrix for an htc desire hd plus 100 dollars yesterday. I have only had the desire hd for 1 day and I'm already trading back to the atrix. for those tempted there is no going back to a normal phine after using the atrix.

Haha I know I went back to my heavily customized nexus one (temporary brick) and honestly I was a big fan and didn't like to think it wasn't as fast as newer devices but I notice it in apps I notice it in swype... I know I said this with my n1 but this phone with more mature software will last me for a long time.

All of my Fancy Widget clocks are small on the screen. How do you make them large?

You have to select Fancy Home.
Hm... I selected fancy home, but it still gives me the ugly clock without the skin. (I've tried applying it several times)

I noted a bug in the fancy widgets FAQ that states you have to click the screen once after unlocking to stop the animation before the screen will respond to other clicks.

Has anyone else noticed that some of the apps in the is missing in the home drawer. I have at least 2, Angry Birds Rio and Samurai 2, which are installed but not shown.
There has been a little piece of wondering if I would have been better off getting a HTC instead of the Atrix... But now with big thanks to this thread, I have everything wanted in my 1st Android phone... And a hole lot more.
Now if I can find the weather widget or live wallpaper that has the windsheild wipers when it's raining, I'll be the happiest newbie on XDA.

[Q] CM7 features + HTC Sense look and widgets

Hi friends,
I have not rooted my HTC Legend till now. It seems so hard to root it. Tried to root once but failed and all my apps were gone. I really like the features of Cyanogen Mod 7 but I really like the HTC Sense look. I want to root my phone just because I need more space to install all the applications I like. So I wanted to ask you great guys that is there a way to root my phone and install it with CM7 and then install latest HTC Sense Launcher and HTC Widgets.
Thank You
Sorry for Noob Questions.
HTC Legend OTA 2.2

You can try some ADW Launcher Sense-like skins + Beautiful Widgets if you want to stick to CM7. If you really like Sense, try Blay0's ROM which has ap2sd and data2sd support - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849
l recommend cm7 with launcher pro plus +sense theme +ntsense theme chooser theme and beautiful widgets.

Instead of beautiful Widgets, look for the older version of Fancy Widget.

Yeah.. It has the H7C theme..
Sent from somewhere outta space using my phone..
actually i'd go with weather & toggle widget with the h7c skins, because it also has the addon that gives you the weather animations of sense
Thanks guys for the information. I really liked the BlaY0 ROM. But it lacks Gingerbread. It is based on FroYo, right? Correct me if I am wrong guys.
Why doesn't anyone post a complete video of the ROM on the YouTube?
It's based on froyo yes

[Q] I miss HTC Sense

I just got my SGS2 but I already miss HTC's sense, does anyone know of alternatives? I miss the clock/weather widget and the easy way to change/set the clock/alarm, the friendstream widget, the organisation of the app drawer
Excellent development related post. I look forward to your Beta release.

Can you make it compatible with htcsense.com? And please don't forget to add all the bloatware that comes with sense.

No real harm done. There are, however, skins for ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, EX Launcher and more launchers. There are widgets like Beautiful widgets which actually look a lot like the Sense widgets. Launcher Pro Plus actually has a lot of widgets like a gmail widget, a contact widget, etc. The good thing about Android is that there are a lot of alternatives in the market. Check it out!.
Colorize widgets for friendstream and a lot more, beautiful widgets or fancy widgets + go launcher o similar...you will never look back my friend, cheers.

[Request] 4 x 5 Rosie Mod

Would like to see something like in this thread for the Evo 4G:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860912
I really like the sense weather animations, but I love having 5 rows of icons on my launcher, like launcher pro, and adw.
I'm going to post in that thread, and ask if the dev can make a version for the shift, but maybe one of our very capable devs could work on this, too....

I'm assuming you're looking for this mod on Gingerbread build? I know the MikRom v 1.1 had this for froyo build.

Yes, I'd like to see this for gingergread. I just wish HTC made this an option in Sense. It's not like the screen sizes they are using, or the resolutions they use won't easily support it.
Not 100% sure but I think you have to edit the build.prop file and change lcd screen density. I've done it before but it broke some animations from showing up right

ICS lock screen

Hey guys im just wondering is there anyway to put the ICS lock screen on Bionix 1.3.1??? And if its possible can you direct me how to???
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
MiLocker is an option that gives you multiple options including ICS.
Widget locker and Golocker from the market?
That's the best I got without having to flash a random ICS theme. If you're looking for a full on theme you can search the "Themes and Apps" thread.
Good luck
Bionix is 2.2, have to be on 2.3 or higher for mii locker. Your only option would be to code it in yourself since bionix is no longer supported
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If your using the Go Launcher EX you could use Go Locker and download the ICS theme for it. Or you could try Widget Locker, which I believe has an ICS theme as well.
Edit: However, just a suggestion, if you're one who likes to really customize your phone (one week you love an ICS themed phone, the next a Gingerbread theme) you should look into miui. It allows you to customize everything from the status bar to the lock screen all within a themes app easily.
