Who else thinks the lock screen is a little girly? Is there a way to change it once rooted? I guess we need a custom recovery first

Yea I don't like the lock screen variations too much. I am on the glass one, but still don't like it too much. Too used to stock android I guess.
I think the puzzle one is pretty cool, with the other puzzle pieces popping up as notifications.
I put it on the pattern lock and that took care of the puzzle pieces, but it also took away the music controls that slide down from the top while the screen is locked.

Wow, did not notice the music controls on lock screen until now thanks alot lol
Woot I didn't even find the music control last night lol. Figured out that it was because I was using Eliot 's music mod, the older 2.1 version.
Tried the stock music player, and hold and behold, had the pull down on the lock screen.
Thanks again.
I really like the notification puzzle pieces. So nice to be able to use those to go straight to the message. I just wish it would show a preview of the message under the puzzle piece or something.
I would like the stock android lock, or something other than glass and the puzzle. The puzzle lost its cuteness after playing with the phone for 10 minutes. The glass is acceptable, but something better would be nice. Is it possible to download new lock screens?

Check out Widget Locker in the Market. Cost a couple bucks, but it's definitely worth it. You can customize your lock screen with widgets, custom sliders, and lots of other things.
i succesfully got rid of the pattern locked on a costumers cellular phone. I try this on 2 other phones and it works perfectly.
The Zinc custom ROM has the Vanilla lock screen and I'm so happy.

So I have been always having trouble when using a custom lock screen so I could wake the device with the trackball. All the lock screens I tried would either work for a little then just stop working all together. Or the lock screen wasn't secure (the screen could be bypassed with a simple button press). I recently started to use dxTop again and got reminded that it has its own custom lock screen, granted its a iPhone style lock screen. But the lock screen have been working with out issue, and no matter what you can not get it to close unless you unlock it. Also dxTop is a nice home replacement and runs smooth on the Nexus. Figure I would throw this out there for anyone else who has similar issues.
EDIT:
You can also just use the lock screen without using dxTop, just make sure its set to on and just use the launcher home.
dxtop suck if you want a new theme made by someone other than them. they dont support 3rd party themes anymore since the master baron was bought out. no more template. my gripe.. pity, they were my fave until then.
People have trouble staying on topic here. Lol.
I used lock 2.0 for a while but it was just too slow and didn't always override the old lock.
I'm waiting for something nice myself. I don't like the look of the stock lock.
Anyone using Home++, what d you guys think?
Run home + + and enjoyed it. I have now found flyscreen and so I have stopped while I test flyscreen out.
I've been using Flyscreen for a while now without problems. I have to unlock the normal screen and then Flyscreen when I first start the phone but that's tolerable.
I wish they'd add a widget for the standard music player.
let's hope this is the correct place to post this
I got the international galaxy S and I really hated the Samsung unlock screen
is it possible to replace it with the vanilla stock one ? and how ?
I use launcher pro so I don't mind losing touchwiz anyway
I'm running on a rooted device
and thank you
I am very curious about this too.
Would really like to have the stock unlock screen that also has the 'silent mode' option when you swipe from right to left instead.
seems like either nobody knows or nobody cared to try it
there are programs to change the lock screen , but nothing is like the real thing
Truth to be told you have 2 options.
1. Use samsungs lock screen, it has missed call/sms/blah notifications on it, and also music player controls.
2. Use pattern lock, it's the same as stock then.
I am using samsung's lock screen now , so that's not an alternative option XD
but I'd like to have the stock one .. love it >.<
and pattern lock .. it's awful trying to unlock it while driving [tried it XD]
as far as i know, widgetlocker lets you unlock your screen with vanilla sliders!
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/entertainment/widgetlocker-lockscreen_hxov.html
It has other features like widgets on your lock screen, sounds like a promising app, you should try it out and see if it fits your needs!
widget locker is great. try it

I tried it , but what bothered me is that you can't lift the unlock slider upward (the real one is kinda higher) and what was more annoying is you can edit the widgets from the lock screen , meaning you just by mistake keep on holding a widget and it moves
again , here I don't just want the look , I actually wanted to see if it's possible to change the apk , switch it from the touchwiz to the real stock apk file (if it exists)
You can switch from the Widget Locker unlock slider to the standard Android one in the settings, but you lose a line of widget/shortcut space. You can also make the unlock slider the Sense or iPhone one if that's your thing. You can also disable editing widgets while locked.
Widget Locker is worth the purchase really, it's cheap and does what you want.
I dont know if this has already been discovered by others but i found a solution to an issue i was having. I have always wanted to use a custom lockscreen but every one i would try to use, the factory lock screen would show up for a bit first and then the new one would show up, which just irritates me.
I found that if you download and install no lock from the market, it will block the factory lock screen but the aftermarket one will still work!
A small thing but it solved one of my nitpicks and allowed me to finally customize my lockscreen.
If you dont have one yet i recommend wp7 lock, pretty clean in my opinion
widgetlocker has this built in...
+1 widgetlocker
I hate sliding left to right so I switched to the Sense lock and now I can swipe down.

hmm odd, last time i used widgetlocker i still had the stock lockscreen popping up right before or during the widgetlocker lockscreen. When did they add this feature? Still its helpful for me because i dont particuarly like widgetlocker, i like the more simplistic approach.
Widgetlocker works just fine with my Droid X. I never see the stock screen. Only issue is the stock lock screen is no longer smooth (sometimes have to swipe 2 or 3 times) with GB update so it also effects widgetlocker.
OK semi stupid question about Android roms. Is there one where you don't have to slide down to answer calls? I keep the phone in my pocket when it rings, I go to answer it most of the time it answers itself. Don't know if there one that has slide left to right like the Iphone or others.
CM7 roms slide left to right to answer, I think it's only Sense and MIUI that slide down to answer, but I could be wrong. But I know that CM7 has the sliding tabs to answer/reject like on the lockscreen.
the easiest way to go about this would be to download a lockscreen app from the market. there is a really great app called lock 2.0 which will allow you to do what you want. also you can add custom sounds if you like. there is also 1 called lockbot pro (what im using now) which has many different lockscreen styles like iphone, hero, eclair, froyo, x10 & galaxy. you can create many different lockscreens by changing the background around and a setting that will go through your default lockscreens you choose so you get a different lockscreen each time..i find it pretty cool. there is a free version as well but not as many features. hope this helps out.

but as far as I can remember, these apps don't change the incoming call screen, which is the real benefit of horizontal slide
i had to re-read that because i wasn't sure what you was talking about at 1st. your 100% right though, i must of missed the part about incoming calls the 1st time i read it.

Simple, Just get a protective case for it or sleeve or something. The screen is capacitive so only responses to touch from your fingers (not pressure but touch) so aslong as there is something covering screen it wont unlock.

as stated earlier CM7 slide left and right, but if you dont want to use CM7 and like the rom your on, get go launcher[FREE], launcher pro, ADW launcher ... i think each has a different answer button
If there is A rom that u like u can use this application to get rid of the slidedown to answer (EZanswer) http://www.4shared.com/file/MhGQjhuO/EZanswer_1400.htm tell me about the result

I'm not sure about your phone, but mine is so responsive that it feels my finger through the protective cover I always demonstrate this to my friends by unlocking my device (whether vertically in android or horizontally in WinMo) through the cover
that's why it's a problem, we either need a horizontal answer app (easy) or get a thicker cover, which makes a barely-pocketable phone impossible to fit in pockets, unless you're one of those who wear baggy pants with huge pockets.
use the pattern unlock screen Miui has loads if different lock screens

Im looking for a really good lockscreen that is similar to the stock camera lock screen. But one that you can customize to go directly to you msg app, or any app you choose.

Edit :
Ubuntu style lock screen is nice.
Thanks for the reply g_ding84. Didnt want to just dl a bunch but get real world reviews on ones that people tried & worked 100%. I like the pics of the one you mentioned & will try it out. Hate not having access to all apps through the lock screen
If your a fan of AOSP style lock screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410945
Ok i didnt like the ubuntu one...Wasnt really what I was looking for. But Is there a lock screen that allows you to put apps that you can immediately go to thru the lock screen? Like the stock S5 lock screen has an option to go directly into your camera via the lock screen ? But I want to be able to go into any apps as well?

The only thing I can think of it an AOSP style lock screen. Might need a bit of trial and error testing.
Which one would you recommend? If anyone can chime it I would appreciate it.
