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 all
Anyone know of a way to lock or select an orientation for the "lock screen" in portrait mode thats compatible with ADW ?

Thanks for this, I had the same question...lol
Lock portrait with only ADW solved
You can lock it into portrait mode using only ADW, no external apps/widgets required.
I came across how somewhere here on XDA and reposted it here:
http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=7317
to do it in adw...
hold phone in portrait mode
menu --> adwsettings --> system preferences --> check system persistent
that does it for me.
only thing is when you reboot... need to go back in uncheck it, then hold in portrait rotation and go back and re-check it.
Im refering to the lock screen not the home scteen, i want the lock screen set to portrait.
ADW can kinda lock the home screen but not successfully between reboots
anyone figure this out on the stock official froyo? its really annoying that i can now have a fully portrait phone, with the exception of the lock screen.
Widget Locker. It's a paid app but it does the trick.
I found that the most recent version had some bugs with the Streak but if you email the developer he will organise to send you version 1.2.5 which works well with the Streak.
i got the widget launcher apk installed and configured. i guess it will do for now but it doesnt feel very native. every now and then the default android locker will flash for a second. i was hoping a setting in build.prop would have it.

Have you asked the developer to send you version 1.2.5? Like I said, the version on the market is buggy with the Streak but I had no problems at all with 1.2.5.

so widget locker latest version will rotate lockscreen and lock screen slider, please confirm, on official froyo? thanks..
yeah i had 1.2.5, it crashed on me several times so i just uninstalled it. widget locker doesnt really rotate it into portrait, it more replaces the lock screen with another program, that happens to be portrait only, that you can customize to look pretty close to stock. i think i might wait for a better solution.

You sure you haven't been using 1.2.8? 1.2.5 works perfectly for me to give me a lock screen in portrait.
What exactly do you want anyway? Do you just want the lock screen in portrait or the home screen? Or do you want a lock screen that actively rotate when you rotate the phone?
I installed screen suite locker to replace normal lockscreen but old lock screen kept coming up too, so I downloaded no lock to disable default lockscreen completly.
Works just how I wanted it portrait lock screen no default lockscreen

Ahh... I see! You want the stock lock screen in portrait. No, this cannot be done at this time.

Isn't there a setting in build.prop that will switch to portrait? i really want my Lock screen in portrait.
any news??
This great idea
Just download ultimate rotation control , enable pre app , set lockscreen orientation ( potrait ).
U also can use forced auto orientation for lockscreen, u can use your lockscreen in all orientation.:good::fingers-crossed:

or flash the portraitmode zipfile from the Manii, it should be there somewhere in the development section.
I was wondering in Gingerbread 2.3.2, is it possible to change the lock screen wallpaper to make it different to your background wallpaper? Is there any way of doing it with out using a third party app?
Can anybody help with this?
TBH i somehow turned the lockscreen off and now i can't trun it back on.. So i don't have a lock screen anymore.
And for your problem there is a widget that does that i think but it ain't free. it's called widget locker or something like this.
how can i lock down the home screen from rotating. I dont mind the pics and text messaging with the flipping but i dont want the home to rotate. I have tried the shake to flip thing but it is some weird...any way just to lock down the one screen?
are you using the stock sense launcher or a launcher from the market?
i have adw and i think i found a setting in it...i thought i had looked everywhere
Yeah, theres a setting in ADW. its in like UI settings / screen preferences /home orientation i think.
Good day,
Is there a way to lock the layout and remove some of the pages? I only use 1 page and do not want the icons to change on my homescreen. but when I search all I can seem to find is the damn lock orientations junk that is over talked about on the web. Can someone tell me if that is coming to the nexus 7? is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? Or, do I have to install a different homescreen app?
Thanks in advance,
supersobbie
Nova Launcher Does exactly what your looking for.... Nova prime is awesome on the nexus 7
