Evo 3D Rooted Remove Weather Lock Screen

Hey,
i have a evo 3d and even before i rooted it and put a custom rom on it, i wanted to remove that weather lock screen that always comes up when you power your phone on. The one that has phone mail camera messages icons and the Current weather, and you then have to drag a circle to the middle. That is the screen i want to remove or disable.
How can i do this with a rooted or stock phone?
I have seen the no lock app and the ScreenMode App which DO remove the Lock screen im talking about, but they ALSO REMOVE the security Pin / Pattern Lock screen also (which i want to retain.)
As it is now, i have to go through 2 lock screen when i power up my phone- The Weather Lock screen i speak of above and want to remove/disable - and the 2nd lock screen is my Pin/Pattern Lock screen which i can enable or disable via Settings->Security->Device Lock.
Please help me remove the weather lock screen,
tks
Widgetlocker is your answer
there's a couple ROMs in the dev section that have removed it, and are using the aosp lockscreen, go check them out.
Just go to setting personalize lock screen and change it to whatever you want no root needed

You have 2 options. You can go into system/data and rename HTCLockscreen.apk to HTCLocksreen.bak (rather than deleting it, in case you ever want it back). Or you could use Titanium Backup to uninstall HTCLockscreen
Widget Locker now gives me its locker screen, which is then followed by my Pattern lock screen (which i need, i only want the pattern lock screen).
If i go to Settings->Personalize (nothing happens, as in i get no options to choose), it just brings me back to the home screen.
I have Titanium Backup Pro and removed HtcLockScreen.apk and it removed it sucesfuly, but now the default Google Lock screen (with the lock on one side, speaker on the other) and you slide the lock to the right to unlock it.
Is there a way to keep WidgetLocker running, but set it to NO lock screen. Normally you would just un-check "Enable Widget Locker" in WidgetLocker's settings but doing this makes the home weather lock screen reappear.
or is there a way to disable the Google lock screen and keep the Pattern Security lock screen (this is how i had it on my EVO 4g)
Thanks for the help guys!

Hold your finger on the weather widget for about 10 seconds (untill the *trash* pops up at the bottom) and drag the sucker into the trash.
Took me all of the first day I owned this phone to kill that POS.

[Q] shortcut to lockscreen?

Hello,
Is it possible to create a shortcut to lockscreen and place it e.g. on my homescreen?
I'd like to only show the lockscreen, without turning off the screen.
There are many applications on market, but they all lock device and turn the screen off.
If there is such an option in tasker, I must have missed it.
Thanks for any help,
Paul

You mean,you want to lock the device but not turn the screen off with a shortcut?
Yes, exactly.
I'd like to utilize the lockscreen as a "gesture shortcut" application (why install another app, when CM lockscreen has all I need?).

Widget Locker query

Hi Folks,
Have Widget locker and enjoying it.. i have the home button disabled, and can add shortcuts to apps etc to the lock screen - what i want to do though is change the default sliders - one is fine - its slide right to unlock - left to change sound/virbrate/silent.
the bottom slider is right to camera on - (thats grand) but left or press to change brightness options - id like to get rid of the brightness option and maybe add in a shortcut to an Led torch application.. when i open widget locker in Tool mode is says to drag/drop things around.. but it wont let be alter or drop the bottom slider into the 'remove' trash can..
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Mick
add a new slider and on the slider chooser screen slide the tab you want to change across and it should give you the choice to change it to whatever you want
got it thanks..
Hi Folks,
One more query - is there anyway to get notifications on the lock screen with Widget locker? messages/calls/application notifications?
Cheers,
Mick
You can get an app called MissedIt! which allows you to add these to Widget Locker.

How to customize LOCK SCREEN

I haven't found any apps that can enable me to customize the lock screen, like different text, clock, wallpaper etc. anyone have any idea?
Widget Locker

[Q] Using your own clock widget on the lock screen?

So I made a nice clock widget with UCCW and I have it set up on my home screen. I want to use it on my lock screen as well with PIN security. I can set up the UCCW click widget if there is no security on the lock screen - ie 'swipe to unlock'. But if I set up my own clock, then change security to use pin, the old default clock appears. Is there any way around this?
I am assuming you are using the stock rom with the device and that you have not changed your locker?
Unfortunately the S4 locker is somewhat limited in that capabilities - you can add it but won't be on the same screen that has the pattern, it is really limited in what it can do to that end.
You could try a different locker.
