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.

Thanks for the info.
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.

LockBot

I've just installed LockBot and have set the theme I like..
Looks good - BUT !!!
When a calls comes in the Desire reverts back to the default lock, ie: slide down to answer... This is what I was hoping to get away from.
How do I get LockBot to work as a Lock and slide for answering ?
Thanks

It's just a substitute lock. It can't be used as a call slider...

Ahh.. are there any call sliders available ?
Thanks

Not from the market.
The call slider is part of your rom (ie AOSP slide left and right or Sense up and down) and cannot be changed by a market app

I use widget locker , this replaces the" slide down " thing .. fab ... as I can now have a calender etc on the lock screen...
WL cost a few quid

Hi
Will widget locker give me the froyo style lock/sound icons ?
Will it stay locked on an incoming call, showing who is calling before I unlock it ?
Thanks

Will widget locker give me the froyo style lock/sound icons ?
If you want .. there are loads of icons out there for this app ... as it's a paid for .. it's has loads of add ons.
Will it stay locked on an incoming call, showing who is calling before I unlock it ?
Yes ... the default incoming call starts... but the screen is still locked.

Thanks.
when a call comes in and the screen is locked, I presume this uses the default slider to unlock.
Any 'easy' way to change this to the froyo style unlocker ??
Thanks

You can change the icons for the sliders, but it will still be the same slide actions.
Sent from my GT-P1000

so it will always be slide down to answer ?
Not slide across ?

Yes. You'd have to edit some lines of code in the Dialer.apk (or whatever it's called). But even if you delete the HtcLockScreen.apk, so that you get the real Froyo Lock (not just a replacement) the default Sense Answering-Lockscreen will be there when a call comes in.

[Q] Lockscreen like S2U2?

Hi!
Is there a lockscreen app for Android like the one on WinMo's S2U2?
I realy miss the way it locks the screen until you slide to answer it, when inside your pocket i always answer or dismiss the call when pulling the device out of my pocket.

I've tried a couple of those, but non of them are as good as S2U2
I want to be able to slide to answer, that almost eliminates the chans that you answer by misstake when pulling out of the pocket.

Widget Locker. It's a paid app but has just been updated and has a lot of customisation options for your lock screen. You can have the iphone/S2U2 slider if you want but it gives you more choice if you want it... Recommended.

[Q] It's posible to use old sense 2.x htc.lockscreen in sense 3 or above?

Hi, I'm tired of lockscreen ring in sense 3 or above. Always unlock my screen while try to pull up my phone from my pocket, so I prefer the old locksreen of sense 2.x
I know that it's dificult to choose many 2.x sense roms, sprecially if you prefer the other advantages of gingerbread roms, main screen launcher for example.
As I saw in that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171674, I'll like to find any trick to install 2.x lockscreen in any sense 3.x rom
Of course, I tried to rename htc.lockscreen and use original lockscreen from Android, but I don't like it, I prefer sense 2.x lockscreen.
I will apreciate any suggestion.

Try to find an app called "WidgetLocker Lockscreen" that allows you to make/choose your own lockscreen! I think i helped!

Many thanks for your reply, but is not a problem to lock the screen, the problem is "unlock" the screen.
Sense 3.x ring lockscreen is so easy to accidentally unlock itself, inside my pocket, and then, random app could be launched. It's very very annoying for me.
Sense 2.x lockscreen is much difficult to auto unlock inside my pocket.
I don't understand why not many other people have the same problem.

Lock/Unlock screen are the same thing, just said differently. The app he mentioned should be what you are looking for as long as it replaces the HTC lockscreen with one of your choosing

Nah the app he recommended is correct, WidgetLocker has every type of lock screen you could want, but unfortunately you will have to pay for it (or will you? ) and this includes Sense 2.1 lock screen and sliders, ICS, rotary wheels etc. You can also add widgets to the lock screen (hence the name) which will give you the ability to have a music widget and weather widget etc. on your lock screen.
Also, try not to leave your phone in your trouser pockets and instead use your jacket pocket or something similar, where the phone won't unlock itself (e.g. when you're sitting down) and maybe set up a pin/password.

Hi, my HD2 was unable to download these app from market. I don't know the reason. I had to download from my Desire HD and test it directly on it. I have Sense 3.0 rom. It works fine, it can use htc.lockscreen 2.x style instead of original sense 3.0
Thank you for your help. Finally, I can use my pocket to keep the phone locked using sense 3.x rom.

Do we have to ROOT for PATTERN UNLOCK ?
Do we have to ROOT for ENABLING another LOCK SCREEN APPLICATION ?
Is there any lock screen application which supports Nokia X2 Lock screen WIDGETS ?
Is there any application with all of the above features ?
Please help me .
Thank You.

Dont know any lock screen with widgets like x2. But give HiLocker a try, stock lock screen can be disabled through it. Just select none option. It got some odd lollipop and I-phone ui fusion, but it looks nice. Also shows notifications. Im currently using it.

just replace it with any locker from playstore, and dont forget to disable stock lockscreen
