Seconded, infinitely customizable.
Stock lock screen is pony.
Burko

Definitely go for Widgetlocker.

Widgetlocker!!! its brill

Like others have said, Widget Locker is probably the best. It's available for $0.99 in the Amazon App Store and it's one of their best selling apps (that's how I found out about it).

Thanks guys, just got it. agreed its the nuts!
the other little thing pissing me off, cant customise the powercontrol widget.

Anyway to get WidgetLocker to not unlock with home key press?

Yes, it got something to do with homehelper.
Go to advanced settings/homehelper/ and check the boxes for 'Homehelper Block Home & Block Home In Other Apps'.
That did the trick for me.

Hey, thanks! I never knew about that, but now I do thanks to you!

Same but I want something which works with Samsung's music player's lockscreen widget.
Where I don't need to unlock phone to change tracks, pause /play etc.
Anyone got any ideas???

You can change the background under Settings > Display > Screen display > Lock screen > Wallpaper

WidgetLocker has full widget capabilities. As long as it's a standard widget that can be added through the widget menu, you should be fine to add it to the WidgetLocker screen.

extended controls (0.99)

I'm using the stock android pattern lockscreen.

when I enable widget locker it appears an icon in the notification tab. Is there a way to remove that?

Extended Controls. Market search it. It is the best one you could ever imagine. It does cost, but I bought it (and I am one cheap-skate! ) Great app. Allows you to easily make the powercontrol widget, with a number of themes, or icon packs. Very useful app.
I remember when I bought it, there are a number of different apps that do the same thing. But this one just looked the best at the time, so have a quick read of the info on each app.

[How] Disable vibrate when unlock Milestone 2

Hi, How to disable vibrate when unlock milestone 2 ?

On official stock roms you can't, I'm afraid - but you can get a lockscreen replacement app like GO Locker, Widget Locker and Nova Locker - think they all have the option to turn off the vibration. I'd recommend installing No Lock off the Play Store if you go for that option, stops the stock lockscreen coming up and being a nuisance.
Another option is to install a custom rom, or Argen2Stone
Edit: on second thoughts, if you install Spare Parts from the Play Store, uncheck the box for 'Use haptic feedback' or something, that might turn it off as well methinks

[Q] Change Lockscreen Background?

I haven't been able to figure out how to change the lockscreen wallpaper/background or add any widgets to the lockscreen. From reading "tips and tricks" generally applicable to most versions of the Note 3, it appears to me that Verizon has limited our lockscreen options compared to the other carriers. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
I have to say, this is frustrating, since I'm used to rooting and flashing ROMs that give me so much customization. That said, this phone is a beast!

Settings>Display>Wallpaper
You can change home screen...lock screen or both.
Settings>Lock screen > Multiple widgets...turn on
Success!

That option is only available if you use swipe as your unlock method. Unfortunately, they remove that option when you select any type of 'secure' lock method.

i like the ui cause of the tap-tap. i know cm11 has it but only in the status bar which is annoying for me. well it was worth a try.

What's "tap tap" ? Knock On? It works fine on various ROMs. And Knock-Off only works in the launcher or status bar on the stock ROM anyway.
My solution? Knock On and use AOKP and put a power button on my navbar. So I can turn on and turn off from the screen (in any app).

i know it only works with the launcher... i do own the phone...you know what i meant by tap tap. thats what im actually looking for is the launcher.

Why don't you just download a screen off app like this, Nova or Apex and set double tap gesture to launch screen off. It will be pretty much the same as the stock knock off feature.

Trying this right now

I have knock on and off using cm11. For knock off I am using apex laucher's double tap behavior setting linking to a "turn off screen" app. Yeah it's not built in but it's a solution.

When you are on the apex (or nova) launcher, yes. You might have to set the double tap gesture as a shortcut rather than the app itself for it to properly function.

Did you download a "screen off" app from the play store and activate it? There are a couple of them. What I am saying is that you might have to shortcut one of the apps actions in order to get it to work. If you just set the app to the gesture you'll end up opening the settings.

Confirmed working. Thank you

There are SEVERAL SOLUTIONS for this:
1. On AOSP/CM11 Roms, Knock ON will always work. It is a kernel feature and is not new. Custom Kernels have been doing this for a long time. So KnockOn is taken care of.
KnockOff Talk:
2. Purchase a Launcher that supports Double Tap such as Nova Prime. Download a Free app that locks the screen. Set Nova Double Tab to launch the ScreenLocker. Boom.
OR
3. Install LG Home Launcher that has this built in. Boom.
4. Find the AOSP KnockOff StatusBar mod in the forums. This gives the ability to DoubleTap the status bar in any app, just like LG does.
The Launcher is a different issue for KnockOff. I've never looked into it, but you'd need a lockscreen that supports double tap and launching of apps while locked. Another solution would be to try to find the LG Lockscreen app or have your favorite Dev try to port it over. IMO I really love the LG Lockscreen since you can swipe anywhere on the screen to unlock and assign quick shortcuts. Also the ability to assign a custom lockscreen wallpaper. LG Lockscreen > AOSP Lockscreen IMO.
But even with Nova Double Tap > Launch Screen Locker... that gets you 90% of the way there. Lockscreen and Status bar are just extras.

[Q] Add Touchwiz Quick Settings

I'm running Bajarom Build 14. Is there any way to add custom Quick Settings tiles? I want to add Torch and Wifi Hotspot.
I tried using Mappz Quick Settings but I prefer not to have an additional panel, I want to use the existing Touchwiz Quick Settings and add these 2.
Thanks
