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.
Kris
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.
Hi guys im new to the forum and, i dont know much around. Could you guys tell me how i could change the lock screen to standard 2.2 Froyo lock screen? I dont want to use the Sense lock screen and i have already tried out lockbot which fails to work miserably.
Thnx Guys ^^
Damn thanks button..., try widget locker, you can also mod it as well if you want to.
Thnx for replying but unfortunately i cant pay for it. Is there anything for free except widget locker and lockbot free?

I'm sure you'll be able to find it on google or on the internet somewhere , and lockbot is crap imo.
Also the widgetlocker website allows you to pay for it via paypal. http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker
I've got default android lock screen by using wildpuzzle + remove htc widgets package.
Just wondering weather to use widget locker or try and mod this one.
Kevin, do you think widget locker will work better without the htc lockscreen?
i shyed away from it in the past because it would show up when screen was locked and unlocked within the 5secs...
Yes it works perfect with the stock android lockscreen, it never shows up after i unlock widget locker.
Just don't forget to enable 5 second root rule just in case.

A lot of thnx for the link and I really appreciate the replies, just one more thing how can i install app to my phone from the computer?
first go to settings -> applications and enable uknown sources....then copy the app to your sd card ...when you do all that use any file manager and go to your sd card and find the app you want to install...then just click on it
use the market app to download a file manager if you dont have one jet
sorry for my english
I've tried the widget locker app, but after the unlocking, annoying animation of flying squares in shades of gray appears. is that normal? how to disable it?
Realy stupid, isn't it I was wondering myself what the hell that was, and when it was raining a saw a very crapy animation of droplets falling on my screen. So the square thing is a weather animation - i think it's supose to tell you that it is cloudy outside
Just look in the setting, you will find an option somewhere where you can choose to show the animation at every screen, show it just when unlocking the home screen or disable it.
Erwin
Why you dont use WidgetLocker Lockscreen v1.2.8.1 ...you can find it on web for free and if you dont I send it to you!
oh so that was the weather animation...thought it was a bug, thnx!

Edit: sorry didnt see the solution from ErwinP
I've seen a few people mention reluctance moving onto a 3rd party launcher because you lose the ability to turn off your screen by double tapping but there is a way you can do this with Nova and or other third party launchers with gesture controls.
1) Download a free app called Screen Off from Google Play and set it up
2) Set your Double Tap setting to launch Screen Off
Your screen will now turn off just as if you were using the LG launcher.
Alternatively, and with no need for a third party app, just double tap the status (notifications) bar

Or also at the navigation bar with tweaksbox.
Nova launcher comes with gestures where you can set to double tap anywhere to screen off.

Actually it doesn't (unless you're rooted maybe?)
Gestures that you can setup in native Nova do not include screen off.

Correct.....
The only way to do this is with a third-party app which I explained to everyone (thank you by the way for your thanks) in a different topic here.
For me, I just have xposed>gravity box
and go to nova sett.>gestures(need prime)>double-tap>shortcuts>gravity box>screen off.
DONE.

Where is "actions"? I only see Nova, Apps, Shortcuts. And I have Prime.

I have not been able to get the double tap gesture in nova to work at all. I've tried setting it to multiple different actions or apps, and no matter how fast or slow I double tap nothing happens. All other gestures work fine. For the time being I've settled with double swiping down to activate Screen Off.
Has anyone else had this problem with their G3 and Nova?

Look at my post above (post 6 in this topic) and click on the link I give.
This will take you to the topic where I mention what app to install and what actions you need to carry out in order to make it work.
Works fine for me. So far I have never pressed the power button on my G3.
Action Launcher Pro supports Double Tap to lock screen feature.
The problem I am facing with nova, apex...etc that I have exchange security enabled by my employer, all the guesters and third party apps that i tried is locking the phone with the Pin not just shutting the screen, the double tab on the stock launcher shuts the screen but does not lock the phone.
Did anyone find a work around using third party launcher or app ?
Thanks

Sorry Shortcuts
KK Launcher is pretty comparable to Nova and Apex, and it has native support built into it to double-tap your screen to turn the screen off. I've been using this launcher with my Nexus 5 for a while now and have been quite happy with it (compared to Nova). (I'm supposed to get my G3 later today, so I can't speak as to how KK Launcher performs on it yet).

That's exactly why I use the Touchdown app for my exchange mail. Don't have to worry about the exchange security requirement taking over my darn phone...

I believe the latest beta version of G3 TweaksBox has a setting to get around the security features when using Exchange. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792242
Thanks a million, its working like charm, now i can use whatever launcher.
I have Nova as well and works fine just double tapping the status bar. Seemingly works better than LG'S...
Seams like there are a lot of different ways that everyone has to do this.
For me, I have been using Tasker to get double tap off with Nova Launcher gestures since the G2. Tasker is such a great app with about a million uses, I highly recommend everyone check it out. I have it setup to auto connect to different wifi's depending on my location, adjust screen brightness/ringer volumes depending on the time of day, and many others.
Action launcher is the best

After the first week or so with lockscreen widgets on other phones, I found them useless. They were limited in information and functionality... and honestly, my muscle memory was to pickup my phone and unlock it. Then if they magnified to the full screen, the area to swipe to unlock got small... I just think for me, they were a waste. Once I am 2 or 3 swipes, or touches in, I can unlock it just as fast.
I hope someone figures out how to add them back. I have an ICE app that I need to have a lock screen widget for.
I always used the message g widget, always quicker than unlocking and going into the messaging app, I also used the app shortcut widget that u swipes to the right for, especially after getting spoiled using cover lockscreen, which I uninstalled due to too many bugs

I know that with root, I can use Xposed framework and download galaxy s5 widget to do it... but what about Note4 without root ?

Ice contact lock screen
You can add your ICE contact (phone number etc.) to lockscreen by writing it in to the "owner information" -field, which can be found under lockscreen settings. No need for ICE-app.
