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!

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!

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.
I dont know if this has already been discovered by others but i found a solution to an issue i was having. I have always wanted to use a custom lockscreen but every one i would try to use, the factory lock screen would show up for a bit first and then the new one would show up, which just irritates me.
I found that if you download and install no lock from the market, it will block the factory lock screen but the aftermarket one will still work!
A small thing but it solved one of my nitpicks and allowed me to finally customize my lockscreen.
If you dont have one yet i recommend wp7 lock, pretty clean in my opinion
widgetlocker has this built in...
+1 widgetlocker
I hate sliding left to right so I switched to the Sense lock and now I can swipe down.

hmm odd, last time i used widgetlocker i still had the stock lockscreen popping up right before or during the widgetlocker lockscreen. When did they add this feature? Still its helpful for me because i dont particuarly like widgetlocker, i like the more simplistic approach.
Widgetlocker works just fine with my Droid X. I never see the stock screen. Only issue is the stock lock screen is no longer smooth (sometimes have to swipe 2 or 3 times) with GB update so it also effects widgetlocker.
I would like to change the stock lockscreen to something more appealing.
I use pin lock but want to have weather displayed, beeing able to use camera (preferably with the swipe gesture) and maybe also upcoming tasks.
Is there any lockscreen that supports this? (camera is optional if thats not possible with pin lock set)...
Problem is that with pin set you can no longer add widgets to make your own lockscreen, but I'm sure there are lockscreen replacements that can change this or?
Hi, I'm getting an S5 soon and I was wondering if I can enable the ripple effect ontop the current lockscreen (pattern, fingerprint, etc.). I know I can do this on my S3 Mini and would like to know if there is an option like that on the S5 as well?
In short: (On my S3 Mini) I have swipe unlock first and then when I swipe to unlock, it takes me to the pattern lockscreen, which I need to do in order to unlock my phone. Is there such an option or mod on xda for the S5? Thanks in advance to anyone who helps or decides to create such a mod if possible
I noticed that this is an EMUI thing that hides notifications on lockscreen once it's unlocked and never shown on lockscreen again. Can this be changed so i always have lockscreen notifications?
I have the same issue on my Huawei Nova and EMUI 5. I tried lot of lockscreen notifications apps, but none gives good results... Hope someone finds a solution.
just use some of original themes
Unfortunately, I found few similar threads:

It seems that EMUI 5 just works like that. Concept was to keep lock screen clean.
