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.

Stock Android lockscreen?

For some reason, Samsung always seems to have to put its own stamp on everything.
While I don't dislike the Samsung Epic unlock slider, I like the stock Android one (with both an unlock and volume slider) better.
Is it possible to get rid of the Sammy lockscreen and use the standard Android lock on the Epic?

Almost ALL of the available ROM threads have a flashable zip on their page to replace the lockscreen with the vanilla one.

There is an apparently calls widget locker which u can put the original lock the iPhone lock sense lock or create your own custom 6+ option lock pretty cool once installed u can also use stock android home and disable the touchwiz taskbar on bottom

Everything I've seen says the widget locker lockscreen causes all kind of problems...

The only ROM I found with a flashable vanilla lockscreen was Epic Experience, and flashing the vanilla lock zip had no effect.

I use widget locker and it doesn't give me any problems. It can be a bit slow sometimes and occasionally the stock lock screen shows up but overall it's pretty good. I would recommend it, it's just $2.

Yes, but I think the problem is that I'm not on a de-odexed ROM (I'm on stock rooted ROM w/Clockwork)

You've probably hit the nail on the head there. My next question was going to be what ROM you were using... I never tried it on a odexed ROM, wasn't sure it would work on one.

Yeah I found some evidence in other threads that flashing the AOSP lockscreen mod on the stock ROM will not work (because it's not de-odexed). There is a de-odexed version of the stock ROM on the Wiki, I may try that since I'm happy with the stock ROM otherwise.
Thanks for all your help.

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.

[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.
