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!

- 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.

pull lock screen from a build and add it to another?

Say I wanted to pull a lock screen from a rom and add it to another. Can it be done?
I want to get rid of the sense lock screen and use a cyanogen type.
Thanks in advance.

Edit. Got it. Perfect. Thanks.

Read into replacing the Sense alarm clock too, as I believe it can only be snoozed/dismissed through controls in the htclockscreen. Could be a little problematic in the morning.
Now if only it was that easy to change the Sense answer/reject slider for the stock one...

How do I replace the alarm clock? I never thought about that.
Edit: Found it. Not as good of a fix though. FC on the new clock. Guess it's back to sense lock screen for me. Anybody have the apks for it?
J/K. I backed them up.

pull camera from another build?
Hi, I have a similar question. I have a build that the camera's zoom doesn't work and the LED cannot be turned off/on during recording. On another build the camera works perfectly. Perhaps I can exchange the files on the two build?
Thank you very much for your help.

+1 I hate the Sense answer/reject slider. Everytime I take my phone out of my pocket, I reject the the call unintended....

Customize lockscreens?

I was curious if there was anyway to use a lockscreen other than the ones provided with CM7 (which is what I'm currently using). And where would I go about finding them?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

There are but first learn to post in the general area if you have a question.
There is widget locker in the market as well as extracting the framework-res.apk and chamging lockscreen images and make a flashable zip.
Signatures are fancy.

Check out the WidgetLocker app. Its really awesome and well worth the price. When you buy it you will then be able to customize it and make the lockscreen change with themes other have made.
Heres a thread with some of the widgetlocker themes people are creating
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968613

Ill give it a look. Thanks for the quick reply.

Whenever I used widgetlocker, my cm7 lockscreen and the widgetlocker lockscreen would always interfere with each other...how did you get around that?

works ok for me, running CM7(RC2)
agree with others, Widget Locker is the best... and only $2

Thats why I stopped using it. Would get a hesitation using widget locker as it doesnt actually replace the stock lockscreen. It just seems to overlay it. What it appeared to be to me was that widget locker, being an app, had to load. So if it dropped out of Memory the phone had to reload it and it caused this stutter/hesitation between it and the actual lockscreen. Not that big a deal, but it gave the appearance that the phone was glitchy which I didnt like (i do everything i can to make the phone super smooth, no sense in installing an app that counters that, no matter how slight).
Now I just go with no sliders and use a gesture to unlock the phone and have another gesture to toggle sound. Super clean and confusing to whoever picks up the phone trying to be sneaky.

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!
