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
Hi guys im new to the forum and, i dont know much around. Could you guys tell me how i could change the lock screen to standard 2.2 Froyo lock screen? I dont want to use the Sense lock screen and i have already tried out lockbot which fails to work miserably.
Thnx Guys ^^
Damn thanks button..., try widget locker, you can also mod it as well if you want to.
Thnx for replying but unfortunately i cant pay for it. Is there anything for free except widget locker and lockbot free?

I'm sure you'll be able to find it on google or on the internet somewhere , and lockbot is crap imo.
Also the widgetlocker website allows you to pay for it via paypal. http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker
I've got default android lock screen by using wildpuzzle + remove htc widgets package.
Just wondering weather to use widget locker or try and mod this one.
Kevin, do you think widget locker will work better without the htc lockscreen?
i shyed away from it in the past because it would show up when screen was locked and unlocked within the 5secs...
Yes it works perfect with the stock android lockscreen, it never shows up after i unlock widget locker.
Just don't forget to enable 5 second root rule just in case.

A lot of thnx for the link and I really appreciate the replies, just one more thing how can i install app to my phone from the computer?
first go to settings -> applications and enable uknown sources....then copy the app to your sd card ...when you do all that use any file manager and go to your sd card and find the app you want to install...then just click on it
use the market app to download a file manager if you dont have one jet
sorry for my english
I've tried the widget locker app, but after the unlocking, annoying animation of flying squares in shades of gray appears. is that normal? how to disable it?
Realy stupid, isn't it I was wondering myself what the hell that was, and when it was raining a saw a very crapy animation of droplets falling on my screen. So the square thing is a weather animation - i think it's supose to tell you that it is cloudy outside
Just look in the setting, you will find an option somewhere where you can choose to show the animation at every screen, show it just when unlocking the home screen or disable it.

Why you dont use WidgetLocker Lockscreen v1.2.8.1 ...you can find it on web for free and if you dont I send it to you!
oh so that was the weather animation...thought it was a bug, thnx!

i have the same problem....apperantly you have to disable weather animations but i don't know where
Edit: sorry didnt see the solution from ErwinP
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?

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

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.

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.

Hi some time ago I was using the widgetlocker app and I loved one of the experimental features that disabled the softkeys, the google now and the notifications bar so pretty much the only way to unlocking the phone was through the slider, so if I made the slider icon invisible, i'd have a simple secure lock screen which only I could unlock. Anyways widget locker doesn't have this option anymore plus I dont like how the music widget doesnt appear and dissapear when you have music playing like in the stock lockscreen. So I would appreciate if someone had an Idea on how to make my lockscreen like this again, btw im rooted. THANKS EVERYONE!!
