Looking for screen lock with agenda display

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...

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.

[Q] vanilla unlock screen ?

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.

lockscreen unlocker

Hello desire community,
I just though of an idea. I like the look of the lock screen on sense, but i miss the option to have two sliders (one to unlock, one to silence). What is someone could build a slider that can slide up and down, plus has a slider point in the middle that can slide either left or right. I have attached an example but I am not a good artist so I hope you can understand what it means.

+1, that would be neat

I thought so to but:
1) I don't know how to program that
2) I can't even draw it very well

Like WidgetLocker, perhaps?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker

Moved to themes and apps

I have widget locker. I was thinking like the rotory slider but with one "slider" in the middle and four directions to slide.

This is what he wants except the places where it fades he wants it to rotate, and i agree would be cool.
Edit: this as in dragging up, and down, and rotationg side to side, would give it 4 ways to move instead of just one, and would take full effect of the possibilities of the HTC design...

Exactly I could imagine using up for dailer, down unlock, left mms, and right ringer. If it is in widgetlocker they could be customized

That's a really nice idea, i'd love to see such a feature.

Nice idea but I can imagine the amount of unwanted actions in pocket etc.

None because you would have to touch the middlepoint of the slider to make it work and thats veeeery unlikely....

a better example would be Galaxy S Lockscreen i think
this style is what i like to have

Search widget locker on market. It has a vanilla lockscreen

Galaxy Note Lockscreen apps (?)

Hi friends
Im gonna post a link to a video of the galaxy Note and from 00:56 to 01:05
you will notice that a nice looking chick is holding the Note on the lockscreen,
and it appears that there are some apps that appear on the bottom, right about
where the dock would be if the phone was unlocked.
Does anyone know if this is actually possible on the Note and how?
Im not refering to apps that customize the lockscreen because this
doesn appear to be an app.
I personally looked into the settings but had no luck.
Im guessing it was only a pre-production thing or else I would have found it.
But then again Im no expert...
Anyone with knowledge on the matter, please share your lights
here is the link:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xk...tablet-phone-the-galaxy-note-geekbeat-tv_tech

just found another one
I just found another video that shows the apps on the lock screen
and a couple more on the top right of the screen.
Where the heck are these options??????

I have this feeling I've seen that screen elsewhere before... I don't have my Note with me, but if you check under the stock Clock application, i think the rightmost tab has something that has shortcuts on the bottom and top right like that?

Lol.. its the dock mode on the galaxy note.. its on the galaxy s2 too.. just put it on a dock accessory and,d screen interface changes like that even on my galaxy s2... But not wen you use it normally

What a goof I am!
Thank you both.
You're both right!
This obviously happens on the dock or if you choose this screen from the standard clock app.
Thanks

That is the Clock mode. Just enter Apps/Clock =)

If you want a customisable lockscreen then it's not possible to go past Widgetlocker!

Oh well, Galaxy Note DID have a lockscreen with app shortcuts like sense 3.0 lockscreen up to version JHA. Later on, Samsung decided to take out this feature....maybe for patent reason?!?!
What a pity! It was one of the reasons for me to buy the Galaxy Note!

I would only use a lockscreen app that doesnt interfere with the home button.
I paid for Lockmenu Pro and my money went to waste because the app interfered with the home button just like a launcher and there was no option ti cancel this. Pressing the home button once while the phone was locked, and it unlocked! Called my boss at 1:00am while in my pocket!!!!
Does widgetlocker mess up the home button?

it's not the desk clock, on the desk clock in the top right hand corner there's an expand/contract button, whereas in the video that button isn't there

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?
