Hi there,
Is it possible to just change the lockscreen background but leave the rest of the lockscreen the same?
I know that there are several applications which will provide an alternate lockscreen but I would much rather keep the original if possible.
Cheers.
I'd like to know this too. Even my HTC Tattoo could have separate wallpaper and lockscreen backgrounds. Why not on the desire?

At a guess it's something to do with the live wallpapers.
search the market for WidgetLocker.

lockbot is a good alternative, you get several styles of lock screen and all are customizable
Just installed Lockbot Free to check it out, not very impressed to be honest, the original lock screen appears for a couple of seconds before the Lockbot one which ruins the whole appearence.
Have I done something wrong or is this just how it is?
EDIT
OK, bought & installed WidgetLocker which seems much better. There is still a delay if you lock the phone & then turn the screen back on straight away where it shows the original lock screen but it is negligable. I haven't experimented with all the options yet but it seems pretty comprehensive.
just noticed the wildfire has the option to change lockscreen

Hello,
I tried to search but couldn't find any answer.
Is it possible to disable sense's lockscreen (and keep sense launcher...) and enable Android's default lockscreen (Eclair) without any additional app?
Thanks
Hi
Just remove lockscreen.apk in system/app
Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I think your talking about htclockscreen.apk, as I don't have any file named lockscreen.apk, but I'm not able to delete it without rooting the phone
Is there really no way to have android STOCK lock screen
Hi
You're right it's htclockscreen.apk. Sorry for my mistake.
Then i don't know if it's possible without root?
+1....been wanting this for awhile now but still havent found anything

You'll need to root or, if you have a higher powered device, install lockbot from the market. It replaces your lockscreen and it has eclair, eclair-2.0.1+, iPhone, and Sense lockscreens. The Pro version has a few more.
Actually this is not enough, i'v removed this .apk but when call is received the lockscreen is still sense - you must slide down
tried on HTC Desire Pays rom 2.1 based
We need a solution here...
All lockscreen apps don't work as they should, as the lock is disabled (htc legend) when the home or menu key is pressed.
The problem of default lock screen is that because of the slide down (instead of lateral slide), the lock screen is often disabled when the phone is in my jeans pockets and then it does unwanted calls...
Hi
you can lock the screen with the unlock pattern under security settings.

Yes that what I'm actually doing, but still... it's annoying to put the pattern at each unlock
I sent a msg to htc costumer service to see if they have a solution.
Hi.
Anyone has found a solution yet?
I tried LockBot Pro, but it's buggy and slow as hell.
Is there any lockscreen for 1.6 that would also have the support of Sense music widget?
Hi, found this topic when searching for "Caller ID lock screen"... and see that it seems to get no solution.
WIth HTC Desire HD, the problem remains: the caller ID lock screen can't be changed for a horizontal one. It will be usefull to avoid that my pocket automatically answered a call when I pull the phone out before seeing who is calling...
I still dig for this kind of "S2U2 Caller ID" (horizontal slide to unlock instead of default Sense vertical which is too sensitive when phone is in my pocket).
If someone gets ideas?...
Thanks
Why do you need a lockscreen at all? Can't you just turn the screen on/off?
Yes you can there is a thread on this, search for vanilla lockscreen on the desire topics.
Xda app

Thanks mate, will look for it
[EDIT] Found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686567 but it seems that it doesn't change the caller ID locker... ?)
Is there any possibility to make this happen? i don't like the stock pattern-unlocker.

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
I am not a big fan of the stock swipe lock screen on the phone. Is there a way to disable it or replace it with something else other than the pattern lock thingy?
Mods: Not sure if this should be in themes, if so please move.
Thanks.
I think I heard about other users on the forum using a app named NoLock to get rid of the lock screen.
Any of the lockscreen apps on the Market should replace the stock one for you. Try LockBot, Widget Locker (real nice and customizable), Lock2.0 (think that's what it was).
I'm with the OP. I don't find the TW lock screen as useful or as good looking as the stock 2.1 / 2.2 lock screen. Is there a way we can port the stock android lock screen to the Vibrant? I've looked through the phone and I haven't found any files that blatantly say "hey, this is the lock screen" to me. Is this possible?
check this one out its got a clip so u know what its like before u buy it or "buy" its lol

Yep, WidgetLocker would be your best bet for a 2.1 look. I've used it and it actually is really nice and customizable.
This may be a dump question since the creation of live wallpapers but is it possible to have like maybe a screensaver instead of a lockscreen
How can I change just the lock screen sliders without changing and applying a theme? I just want the lock screen sliders different. Running Apex 1.3.1

In what way do you want to change the lock screen sliders? Sorry, your question is just kinda open in terms of interpretation. If you could suggest what you would like to do, or what you are looking for, and maybe myself or anyone else that reads this thread can provide you some more help!
Thanks
P.S. not sure if it is what you are looking for at all, but check out the application called widget-locker on the Market. This allows customization with image edits, and allows you to customize your entire lock screen as well.
Sorry about the open ended question, I meant just the sliders without using Widget Locker, so lets say I wanted to make the unlock a pacman and the silent/vibrate a ghost. Is it possible to change the icons without Widget Locker?

Use NinjaMorph to get into your framework-res.apk under system/framework. Then go to res/drawable-hdpi and it should be near the very bottom of the pics under zz_moto_jog_tab... or you could only change the centers of the sliders to pacman and a ghost, that would be ic_jog_dial_...
I'm liking the samsung galaxy s II but I don't like the lockscreen is there anyway I can change it to the cyanogen lock screen. Pref just by flashing it, i don't want to install any apps cause I've heard the 2 screens can clash.
Thanks in advance
Android Market Lockscreens /

try agile lock..is the screenlocker from htc sensation..you can find'it on market
+1 for Agile Lock.
Still the most versatile one is Widget Locker, it's not free
Regards.
Why Agile Lock over widgetlocker ?
I am trying to find which one to buy
Widget Locker for sure! purchase it.
The number of customizations are insane!
Are some of these lockscreens you get in the market like Widget Locker hard on your battery, ive read reports from people saying they were experiencing battery drain due to Widget Locker, personally i think the normal Sammy lockscreen is fine, it is only a lockscreen after all.

Widget locker battery behavior is fine for me on stock kf3 rom...not much of a difference between this and stock lock screen...as long as no heavy widgets are used on the lock screen...
im reading a lot of battery drains on the SGS2 for the latest version of widget locker, since it never goes to sleep like it should.
If you just want to change your background for your lock screen, try quickpic.
