Hi all.
I've just received a new HTC Desire - quite impressed so far but one thing I'm struggling to find is a screen lock app that offers a full or partial agenda display...
I previously owned a WinMo Touch Pro 2 and used S2U2 - an srceen lock replacement that allowed for several extra displays during screen lock including customisable agenda presentation. I found it quite handy when I wanted a quick check on my next meeting and didnt want to unlock my phone.
So can anyone recommend a screen lock with that kind of functionality?
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone recommend a screen lock app...?
Any suggestions....I'd accept a "better" screen lock if nothing else....
Something that will display new texts, or reminders without unlocking the screen...
I'm curious about this kind of software. I would like it..
but if it is possible to disable the locksceen I'd also be satisfied since I use a leather case.

How difficult would it be for s2u2 to be brought over to Android?
S2U2?
I don't know but that is one the the only things I miss from my windows mobile.
Having a randomn background on screen lock and all the other functions that came with it
Flyscreen from the Market can do this for you.
It has an inbuilt Agenda widget for the lock screen or you can add your own.

Thanks djmcnz.
I looked at and tried the Flyscreen app and it wasn't quite right. It was diffiultto get a useful calendar on the screen and in fact it didn't lock the screen for me. When I placed an app on the Flyscreen modified screen it was still active and the slightest touch opened it....
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but it was more hassle than it was worth.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Thanks I'll give it a go...

Thanks I'll give this a go - first impressions look ok if a little more than I wanted
Not too bad so far - opted for the adware support version for the time being.
Offers a lot more than I wanted/needed but for free or even for the paid version still seems like a good investment.
Thanks for the suggestion
Finally something: CalWidget & WidgetLocker
Hi all.
after a few months looking I finally found a simple but comprehensive combination for my screen lock and agenda display requirement.
I'm uinsg CalWidget for my calendar replacement and then WidgetLocker. WidgetLocker replaces the standard screen lock app and allows me to add other widgets.
Surprisingly good - still a few rough edges but better than most other options and combinations found so far.
Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.

check out widgetlocker
there's a video of it here you can check out:

let's hope this is the correct place to post this
I got the international galaxy S and I really hated the Samsung unlock screen
is it possible to replace it with the vanilla stock one ? and how ?
I use launcher pro so I don't mind losing touchwiz anyway
I'm running on a rooted device
and thank you
I am very curious about this too.
Would really like to have the stock unlock screen that also has the 'silent mode' option when you swipe from right to left instead.
seems like either nobody knows or nobody cared to try it
there are programs to change the lock screen , but nothing is like the real thing
Truth to be told you have 2 options.
1. Use samsungs lock screen, it has missed call/sms/blah notifications on it, and also music player controls.
2. Use pattern lock, it's the same as stock then.
I am using samsung's lock screen now , so that's not an alternative option XD
but I'd like to have the stock one .. love it >.<
and pattern lock .. it's awful trying to unlock it while driving [tried it XD]
as far as i know, widgetlocker lets you unlock your screen with vanilla sliders!
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/entertainment/widgetlocker-lockscreen_hxov.html
It has other features like widgets on your lock screen, sounds like a promising app, you should try it out and see if it fits your needs!
widget locker is great. try it

I tried it , but what bothered me is that you can't lift the unlock slider upward (the real one is kinda higher) and what was more annoying is you can edit the widgets from the lock screen , meaning you just by mistake keep on holding a widget and it moves
again , here I don't just want the look , I actually wanted to see if it's possible to change the apk , switch it from the touchwiz to the real stock apk file (if it exists)
You can switch from the Widget Locker unlock slider to the standard Android one in the settings, but you lose a line of widget/shortcut space. You can also make the unlock slider the Sense or iPhone one if that's your thing. You can also disable editing widgets while locked.
Widget Locker is worth the purchase really, it's cheap and does what you want.
Im looking for a really good lockscreen that is similar to the stock camera lock screen. But one that you can customize to go directly to you msg app, or any app you choose.

You could try searching the play store
Edit :
Ubuntu style lock screen is nice.
Thanks for the reply g_ding84. Didnt want to just dl a bunch but get real world reviews on ones that people tried & worked 100%. I like the pics of the one you mentioned & will try it out. Hate not having access to all apps through the lock screen
If your a fan of AOSP style lock screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410945
Ok i didnt like the ubuntu one...Wasnt really what I was looking for. But Is there a lock screen that allows you to put apps that you can immediately go to thru the lock screen? Like the stock S5 lock screen has an option to go directly into your camera via the lock screen ? But I want to be able to go into any apps as well?

The only thing I can think of it an AOSP style lock screen. Might need a bit of trial and error testing.
Which one would you recommend? If anyone can chime it I would appreciate it.

Can someone tell me, how I can add a weather widget on my lock screen?
Found this polygon wallpaper. The colors look really nice on my gold edge.

There's a lot of apps you can download that changes the lookscreen and adds customizability
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cmcm.locker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay
do any of these work with fingerprint scanner? CM says it does, but i don't see the option in their menu -- just pattern or password.

Guys, can I hijack this thread to ask if your backlight is on when you use a pure black wallpaper as your lock screen wallpaper?
My blacks are pure black when I open my screensaver in the gallery (if i tap the screen to remove the UI, I can't see the screen at all in a dark room) and it's the same for most screens except for the lock screen. In the lock screen it almost appears gray or it appears like it's affected by backlight bleeding. Just wanted to find out if it's a software bug (since it's almost like the Night Clock bug) or if it's a defect with my phone. I also cleared my cache with no success.
Also, how do you take a screenshot of the lock screen?

Not sure if they work with the s6 edge, might have to wait for that support. I'll personally just wait for xposed to be updated so i can get fun stuff like wanam xposed, and just live with the current launcher, as i really like the fingerprint scanner.

You can change wallpaper by long pressing on an empty space in the homescreen. It goes into edit mode and you will see a wallpaper icon and label at the bottom left. Tap that and you are directed to another menu to select whether to apply your wallpaper to just your home or lockscreen or both. You can also go to settings>wallpaper to change wallpapers.
As for the weather, the design changes accordingly with the theme you choose.
Hope this helps.

Tap on your homescreen weather widget. Go to more>settings>show weather information. Profit.

Press home+powerkey simultaneously to get a screenshot anywhere in your phone.
Thanks so much for sharing guys. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that white status bar I have in the lockscreen. It just looks so ugly. Hopefully an upcoming FW update from my carrier would fix it. :fingers-crossed:
Does someone know how to get the wallpaper the S6 gets when it's on update mod? Blue cyan w/bugdroid on the middle. I really love it
Simple look.

I don't understand why there is a shortcut to the camera on the lockscreen?
I thought you could open the camera frem everywhere with two cliks on the home button?

Why the need to change that? You only see that when there's an update. Do you get an update every hour?
So after I removed the special offers on the lockscreen, it shows some (around 5 I guess?) stock wallpaper on the lockscreen routinely. I know the wallpaper can be changed in display > wallpaper, but I can't find the place to change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Is there a walk-around to achieve it?
I've got the 6th gen HD 8, but in mine, I browse photos using the Prime Photos app. When I see one I want to use, tap it so it displays full-screen size, then tap the 3 dots (menu) in the upper right corner of the pic. One of the choices is Wallpaper. On my 8 HD, choosing and confirming this will set it as both the lock screen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper.

Thanks for helping. I really appreciate it. I was looking for the content related to "lockscreen wallpaper" and I didn't know that home screen wallpaper & lock screen wallpaper are changed at the same time.
Also, I can confirm that using your method and going to display > wallpaper have the same result.
There is a video which shows you how to do this

Totally unnecessary. Dragonfire1024 has demonstrated the way to change internal lockscreen wallpaper in his thread. As far as I know, that's the only way to customize the lockscreen wallpaper in a rotational way without using Amazon's app.
So...
What am i missing here? I've just changed my wallpaper, but my lock screen is still blissfully rotating pics from the folder of stock images that came pre-installed
EDIT found the answer in another thread. I mistakenly used Google Pics to change my wallpaper, not the control panel setting, which doesn't change the lockscreen.
On the other hand, this is a good work around to have different lock screen\wallpaper images.?

Sorry, but this was a year ago and I have no idea where I found it. Like I said in my comment though, my solution was to use the control panel. Also, did you pay to bypass the "sponsored" tablet? If not, you will always see the ads and never have control of your lock screen.
Other than that, I really can't offer much help. To be honest, I barely notice what my screen looks like these days. I use my Fire so infrequently I just open it, use it, and shut it off. So I don't know if the interface has changed.
Wish I could be of more help.
Disable the unwanted lock screen. Can you use Kustom Lock Screen Creator from Google Play Store
