Hey guys !
I keep customizing my S7 edge, but there is 1 thing I couldn't customize yet : The lockscreen
With my former phone (LG G3), I tried many alternatives lockscreen, but they all had problems (battery drain, not fast enough, some lags, not fluent, etc...).
I'd like to make my lockscreen more alive, with useful informations on it. And I use fingerprint unlock.
So here is my question : Do you know a way to make it work ? A good xposed module working with touchwiz ? Or a good lockscreen app ?
Thanks, have a great day

Have you had a go with good lock from the Samsung store. It's pretty good at being customized.

Yeah I already tried it, but don't really like it. And there is no widget on lockscreen

Yes there is ! In routine's setup when you choose the clock style swipe to the top and ull find a way to add a widget
Yeah, go to routines, and clock and swipe to top, you can add one widget. I personally like the worded clock. You can also add widgets for when you swipe down for notifications.

Is there any possibility to make this happen? i don't like the stock pattern-unlocker.

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
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?

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.

I'm liking the samsung galaxy s II but I don't like the lockscreen is there anyway I can change it to the cyanogen lock screen. Pref just by flashing it, i don't want to install any apps cause I've heard the 2 screens can clash.
Thanks in advance
Android Market Lockscreens /

try agile lock..is the screenlocker from htc sensation..you can find'it on market
+1 for Agile Lock.
Still the most versatile one is Widget Locker, it's not free
Regards.
Why Agile Lock over widgetlocker ?
I am trying to find which one to buy
Widget Locker for sure! purchase it.
The number of customizations are insane!
Are some of these lockscreens you get in the market like Widget Locker hard on your battery, ive read reports from people saying they were experiencing battery drain due to Widget Locker, personally i think the normal Sammy lockscreen is fine, it is only a lockscreen after all.

Widget locker battery behavior is fine for me on stock kf3 rom...not much of a difference between this and stock lock screen...as long as no heavy widgets are used on the lock screen...
im reading a lot of battery drains on the SGS2 for the latest version of widget locker, since it never goes to sleep like it should.
If you just want to change your background for your lock screen, try quickpic.

Hello fellow G2-Users,
One thing that bothers me with this great phone is the lack to customize the stock lockscreen. For example display calendar and weather, changing the clock etc. I know there is WidgetLocker and other apps but i want to keep the great unlocking animation from the stock lockscreen and of course knockoff from lockscreen.
Who else wants this?
Who can make this possible?

I'm using a PIN code for security, so that changes things a bit. On that version of the lock screen, you can swipe from the left and add widgets. Stock lockscreen.

Thx for your suggestion!! iam aware of that and it is also avaible without PIN security. But i want to see my next appointment and weather on the main lockscreen and change the (ugly) stock clock.
Try "Android Weather" app. It has the features you mention, you can make the widget transparent if you want, and it can be added to the lockscreen.

Hello all- I just got my G6 ( Asia dual sim model) and love it but am pissed to find out that when using Nova pro and other launchers the navigation bar does not go transparent even when the transparent settings are ticked.
All other mobiles do it but this one does not.
The option for "color" in my home keys settings is greyed out also.
Any one have any clues to help me use this full screen to its beautiful potential ?
Cheers LL

That's really odd, because I'm using Nova Pro and transparent NAV bar works just fine. Have you got a theme loaded that might be causing it to not work?
[Edit: looks like my screen capture doesn't even show the NAV bar. I assure you that mine is transparent.]

Wow. Thats strange, Im gonna have to try and change the theme perhaps or maybe ill delete and reinstall Nova.
Thanks though sinister.. Now i know there is hope ?

Sinister.... One question though, what version G6 are you using and are you rooted ? I though me not being rooted may be another cause.

Nope, fully stock, unrooted Canadian version on H87310d.
I'd recommend also looking at your dock settings to make sure your dock background isn't drawing over the NAV bar. Although it looks really nice and consistent, disabling it should help you troubleshoot better
Good luck!

No issue here either. Nova is transparent for me. Also, there isn't root for the G6 yet. Attached a screenshot

You have to go into app scaling and select 18:9 for Nova Launcher. Then you will have a transparent nav bar.

AHA- Got it. It seems that all I needed to do was update my version of Nova. Not sure why it didnt work on my old version but its all good now, time to drool over this beautiful screen.
