Question: Can one install a different lock screen? - Touch CDMA General

Hi. I noticed on some of the builds like Jamezelle and Zenulator have awesome "slide-to-unlock" type of lock screens. Can these be installed separately or are they limited to the system.sqsh builds?

I believe there are no apk's for the lockscreen. It's more of a build-particular thing. I'm sure one of the devs could give u a more in-depth answer if you want. Also, you can get an app called lockbot from the market. However, it is often reported to cause taskbar lockups. But it emulates the major lockscreens pretty realistically

Lockbot works great, you can choose between iPhone, Hero and a few others. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and haven't noticed any lag or other issues.

Thanks for the info. I really love the Nexus 1's lock screen in Zenulator's Eclair port. I'll try this app either way, it sounds wicked.

LockBot is nice, but as mentioned, it seems to lock the taskbar on the Vogue, at least on the Donut builds here. It has a FLAN themed lock screen, but you can't use it in the free version. The Eclair ones are pretty cool though. Other than the taksbar bug.

LockBot as well as Lock 2.0 are not just lockscreens, they'll take over the home pages. It might be that's the only way to fully lock the phone or it could be that they don't know what they're doing. In anycase, you'll lose the use of the send key (hard key) and the notification panel, which is probably the taskbar you mentioned.

For android...?

I use lockbot Pro w/ home++ which has a built in notification icon. My send key launches my call log. I'm using plemans hero donut blend.

Stericsons lockscreen can be implemented into these android builds via the framework.

Minimize

Dear ALL,
I was just wondering if there is a program that minimizes (Minimize.exe) the running app but than with an slide down animation like the iphone which you can use with Touchflo.
I would love to have this too.
But for now, this is your best bet with app transitions.
There's FtouchFlo that uses gesture and there is a minimise.exe by efrost, the same developer of FtouchFlo.
Then there's the much much improved version - FTouchSL, which has all the gesture and launch application, etc build into one. Go to www.ftouchsl.com to find out more info.
Looks like you misunderstood. He is already aware of the Minimize.exe of efrost. But he wants a minimize.exe that has an animation of the current app being minimized to slide down or something.
Excactly! I already bought Ftouchsl. It works perfectly. I use a iphone UI and it would be nice to minimize with transition or animation effect.
I'm sure it could be done since PointUI and Touch Commander already does this.
Try pm'ing roozbeh on this forum. I'm sure he could do it.
I did PM but still no answer yet. Keep hoping.

Nah, that's too much iPhoney
Ah great, Lockbot Pro does the job perfectly!
I use widget locker - not only does it have android/sense style lock it also lets you add widgets to the lockscreen

This is nice. Thank you for the info.
Tried the free version. It is thousand times better than the stock in SGS. Looks right, feel right, sounds right!
Edit: noticed that a soft reset disable it and I need to rerun lock 2.0. Is this the same for the paid version?
how hard would it be to make a update.zip to change the lock screen? and would it be possible to make an eclair like lockscreen with the touchwiz 3 music widget?
THAT be awsome

Thanks for this, loving my new widget locker.
It seems that Lock 2.0 is sometimes "killed" by the OS, and that means the lock that screen reverts back to stock. Is there a way to prevent that from being undone?
Sorry for just pushing this up, but im still looking for the stock lockscreen, maybe someone has found a way to use it already

Looking for lockscreen replacement!

Hi,
I'm looking for some good lock screen replacements.
Time of day, email/sms count, battery power, weather? would all be nice to have on a lock screen.
Prefer free but I'm willing to shell out a couple bucks if there aren't any free options.
Thanks!
- GOTO Lockscreen
- Widget Locker
Anyone know of any flashable lockscreens? Not apps. As I'm also quite bored of the drag down unlcoker.
widgetlocker is worth the money! couple of different unlocking styles + add any widget that you want... love it!
cheers

Agreed. Just bought WidgetLocker and it's well worth the two bucks.
Try lock 2.0 its pretty good... has a stupid iPhone lockscreen so you can tell your friends you have iOS
Does any of those programs replace HTCs answer/reject call screen? I usually reject the call when the phone is in my pocket.

Nope. No app from the market would be able to do that. You'd have to change rom for that. But even then its either sense down slide or vanilla across slide.
Widget locker has an option to hide the popup till you unlock. I haven't tested it but its there.

Is there anyway to get that "vanilla across slide" for sense rom. Atleast HTClocksreen.apk deletion doesn't work.

Nope, not unless a dev has removed ALL of the sense lockscreen, which most dont, and replace with the vanilla.
However, I think someone posted on here about adb pushing the vanilla lockscreen (rotary or slide) to sense roms. Not sure if it replaces the call slider but might be worth a try.

Widgetlocker has gives you rotary locksreen among others but it doesn't affect on call slider
With widget locker is there a way to prevent the default lock screen from popping up first?
I purchased it last night but the delay where the default lock screen shows up first is pretty disappointing.

Thats what I was saying. No apps will change the call slider. Hence why I said to try the adb push method.
Search the forum for the adb push vanilla/rotary lockscreen as that might change the call slider.

You can do this, but u need to use the default phone.apk.
there was a fix on the forum here but i forgot where it had slide to answer option even.

Have you put it as default for home button etc?
Mine works like it should be and I see it only for second very rarely.

Widgetlocker/lockscreen

So what kinda lockscreen u guys using? widgetlocker or normal? Plus what theme do you guys use on widgetlocker or on normal lockscreen (metamorph)
widgetlocker lock screen
i used widget locker is great alternative locker android phone it gives you many feature
I use the stock one. I did use widgetlocker, but it has a lag between pushing the power button and appearance of the lockscreen. And I started hating it afther a wile, somethimes the lag was so worse that you could press the unlock button, unlock the phone with the standard (htc)lockscreen and hit the homescreen and then had to unlock widgetlocker because it was to slow.
The standard android homescreen doesn't look very good tough, the sliders are to big. But I'm more or less trying to find out what can be done to make it look good.

Stock froyo it looks like htc didn't do an effort to make the standard lockscreen look good
It is possible to make them all right again, but you have to flash an other framework, which I find realy ugly
So I tought to substract the right files of that "new" framework and put them in the stock framework, but its harder then I tought but I'll continue when I have the time!

Sense 3.0 lock for AOSP roms! Agile Lock

Finally! someone created and lockscreen replacement that mimics sense 3.0 !
You don't get the nice animated wallpaper but the ring and icons are there.
I downloaded the free version.
In the free version you can download some other apps to gain points. Install those apps, get 300 points to unlock the paid version. Then just uninstall the extra apps.
I'm using it on CM7 and no problems so far.

Works great on oxygen.
Thanks
Cool, thanks
Nice lockscreen - better than the stock android IMO.
80 cents worth it.

my default font is helvetica, that's the reason...
but there is a option for changing the font, you have to download some apps to collect 300 points and than you get the full version.
here is another one, just take the original background from the htc sense 3.0 lockscreen...
edit: to change the files in the .apk you have to change "properties" and set "open with" default to winrar.
I'm loveing this lockscreen, works very well but i find it anoying that it rotates... is there anyway from it doing so (without locking orientation on all the other apps obviously!!!)
Thanks a lot and great app!!!!
i think in the .xmls files but i can't handle that...

Can you get access to change the lockring itself? I am thinking of making a mario theme for my phone, and I found a lockring which uses the one up mushroom and I love it. Would love to be able to use it, with this app on an aosp rom.
give me the pics and i see what i can do
EDIT: AGILE LOCK HAS BEEN UPDATED, ROTATING BUG BEEN SOLVED.
Is it possible to remove the shortcut icons?
