Do any of you who are more smart than me (all of you,) know of a .cab with the standard winmo 6.5 lock screen? The ROM I am running overwrites it with a more bland looking screen. Thanks for any and all help.

Do you have the htc version of the lockscreen? Or is it the old style ulock softkey and then ugly old style unlock button..?

The HTC, I believe. It has a white and black color scheme with rows of square number and a large rectangular unlock button. It's not the classic style with the rounded buttons, owner info, and softkey unlock.

I would like the rounded buttons with the contacts and mail shortcuts in the row of the unlock button.

Ok sweet. I have a fix for that. Install and soft reset.

Fix!

It appears that NRG uses a registry key to redirect the lockscreen to C:\Windows\Lockscreen as opposed to the default (or I think default) C:\Windows

Restore Lock Screen - HKLM\Security\Shell\Lock\CustomLockScreensPath set to \Windows

Restarted my device and I had the old lockscreen keypad back as opposed to the HTC Leo keypad.

OMG! Spent hours trying to get my lock screen back to normal and I was ready to do a hard reset. Followed all the above worked and love having the slider lock back.
I too tried using one of the Dusk themes and it messed up some of my settings (and never worked for me). Cannot get it all uninstalled either - irritating!
Many thanks!

can i use that path to change my lockscreen background? i'm using the dusk 6.5 lockscreen 3.0 too but want it over a different background than my dusk ga wallpaper. have tried changing the stwater cpr. but that changes the wallpaper too.

For those of us NOT using Sense 2.x, the old style screen makes some sense, because it shows the home screen - which has plugins showing information even while locked.

Having said that, I am still using the newer "slider" unlock with my SPB Pocket Plus.
