2.1 Unlock screen

[mrhomiec]

I just received my Eris 2.1 update today.

I was hoping to get the new unlock screen. I don't like how the
slide down to unlock takes up a good chunk of screen. Wasn't this
supposed to change with the update to the new one where you
have the circular slide?

I tried doing a search on this but all i kept finding were apps to
download to replace this.

What do you want it to do?

Edit... missed the 'circular slide' comment.

I don't remember reading about that one.

That is the stock HTC Sense UI lockscreen. I won't change from 1.5--->2.1. I'm not sure you if you have to have root or not for this, but if you go the android.grdlock.net and look in the extras folder. There is a lockscreen_del.zip file to download that will delete the sense lockscreen and replace it with stock android.

I think it requires root, But I would LOVE this, the stock vanilla unlock is soooo much better IMO.

so that method to get the lockscreen_del.zip file only works on rooted phones?
that really sucks. i hate having the big slide thing right in the bottom 1/3. if it
were on closer to the bottom i wouldn't mind it so much, it just makes designing
a good lock screen really hard.

are there screenshots of the stock android lock screen anywhere?
