Default [Tutorial] Sense 3.0 lockscreen with changeable apps in lockscreen

This lockscreen consumes very little amount of RAM compared to other ported sense 3.0 lockscreens, works on stock rom or other roms. Please follow instructions carefully:

requirements: S-Off, Rooted

1.] In Root explorer copy attached htclockscreen.apk and rosie.apk
2.] Go to system\app and delete htclockscreen.apk and htclockscreen.odex / and rosie.apk and rosie.odex, be sure to delete them or move to sdcard or it won't work, also rename won't work.
3.] paste my htclockscreen.apk and rosie.apk to system/app folder.
4.] then set permission on both files with the following:

1.read, write
2.read
3.read

5.] reboot then see new lockscreen, then click personalized then you'll see lockscreen settings to change icons.
6.] If lockscreen not changed reboot 2nd time then it will work.



Hope you all success.

PS: Extract files with winrar. Also disable fastboot in Power settings when reboot otherwise turn off manually then on.

Strange...

I copied both files and everything works, except that everything from Rosie is now back in english while my phone is set up in NL (dutch).

Going back to my non changeable 3.0 lockscreen...

Is there a way to change size, font or color of the hour ?

I'd prefer a bigger one with another font type.

The screen shots seems fishy.
You said replace htclockscreen.apk , while the scrrenshots are of htcsenselauncher 3.0 ?

How did this happen ? Wil this method work if the sense launcher is Sense 2.0 ?
