Sense 3.0 Lockscreen Available for Some Rooted HTC EVOs 4

There's a lot of excitement for the HTC EVO 3D, particularly among current HTC EVO owners. Now, granted, most of this unbridled yearning is because of its stellar hardware, but the Sense 3.0 has also turned a lot of heads, particularly the lockscreen. Well, those of you have a rooted EVO will be happy to know that, thanks to xda forum member GODZSON, you can claim this elegant looking lockscreen today, assuming you're running a Gingerbread-based ROM. The ROM also has to be Sense-based, apparently with at least Sense 2.1 running. I say “apparently” because it's still being tested which phones the lockscreen does and does not run on. Something else to mention is thatIf you're willing to try it out, the installation instructions are actually really simple…after the break!

Download the .apk file from the xda thread below and place it on the SD card of your phone.
Go to Settings > Display and enable Stock Android Lockscreen
Use a file explorer to install the .apk file like any normal side-loaded app
Go to Settings > Display and disable Stock Android Lockscreen

And that's it! You should now be turning some heads with a lovely looking lockscreen. Something to note is that the shortcut option isn't working. It's only the lockscreen itself. Hit up the link below and try it out!

Witnesses at Mitch Wright’s birth claim that he came out as a mechanical cyborg beast, who then decimated the doctors in the room with a violent laser blast. Naturally, these witnesses are insane. Mitch was born in Texas, grew up in central New Jersey, and then moved back to Texas, where he met his spectacularly awesome wife. He currently works as a repair tech for Major National Carrier, where he is able to fulfill his love for gadgets by taking phones and PDAs apart and (hopefully) fixing them. He has a strong passion for technology, reading, writing, and science fiction, and loves the fact that modern technology is getting ever closer to the latter. In the world of PDAs, Mitch started off in the land of Windows Mobile with the HTC Touch and HTC Diamond, migrated to webOS with the Palm Pre, and has since been infatuated with Android, first with the Samsung Moment and now with the HTC Evo.
