I just discovered an app on the market, and was overwhelmed, I was waiting for this, its called music mod lockscreen, and when you play music it allows you to have the music from the lock screen, its similar to mixzing's ultimate. All credits go to the dev. Check it out.
Yep, nice app... and it's free... I like it, though I must add...
With CM 6 RC2, kmobs lockscreen music controls let you play/pause/ff/rw, but no album art or song display... and eliotstocker is also developing a cool lockscreen with music controls and display (it's not free, but may cost 1 euro)
Personally, I use WidgetLocker lockscreen (it's not free but it's just $1.99), and I can place widgets like the music widget there... it's quite a neat app...
ironic, I also use the widget lockscreen app, for widgets, but can you get kmobs lockscreen, play/pause/fwd...with enoms rom....is there like a flash zip file that allows you have those cotrols on any rom...
i cant wait for eliotstocker's lock screen, he posted a video on his twitter yesterday
Thanks!
It´s compatible with the music mod from Eliot Stocker!
Installed and working

This is really the best way to do it since you can put any Music app on there (except for Sense widgets) and mix and match up to 5x4 if you remove the unlock pattern.
Where is the kmobs lockscreen? I've been Searching the forum and Google but can't find it. A link to the thread would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running Fresh 2.1.2 with Live Wallpapers installed. I unlock my phone, and when the Weather Wallpaper runs, it force closes the Live Wallpaper and replaces it with the default one.
What I'm looking for is either a replacement clock that looks exactly like the original HTC one without the Weather Wallpaper, or some way to disable Weather Wallpaper so it doesn't FC the Live Wallpapers. (I've looked in the weather app itself, and I don't have the option to uncheck it. It just isn't there.)
Feel free to get technical with it. Just direct me, and I'll do it. I just don't know where to look to disable Weather Wallpaper, if there is a way.
Thanks in advance for any help.

im not sure what u mean about weather "wallpaper"..
also, Fresh 2.1.2 hasn't been supported for a long time now, so trying to find answers for it would be quite difficult... have u thought about updating your ROM to something newer??
lastly, not trying to be rude, just organized, but this should be in the Q&A section.. your more likely to get ur answers there sense people go in there specifically to ask and answer questions.. this is the themes and apps section, for posting new themes and apps.. most people look right over questions here, cause this isn't the section for it..
Weather Wallpaper is the weather animation that shows the current weather when you unlock the phone.
Crap... Is there any way of putting this post over to the Q&A section?

oh ok.. i wouldn't really consider that wallpaper.. wallpaper is normal referred to as your background image.. that would just be your weather app..
you could not use it and use something like beautiful widgets.. well worth it over the sense app.. im not running sense, but i also believe theres a way to disable it, something about weather animations need to be unticked... not quite sure..
but check out beautiful widgets or weather & toggle widget (both are paid apps, but well worth it)
Remove the clock/weather widget from your homescreen and then readd it. It will give you the option to disable fullscreen animations.
omfg... THANK YOU!!! I've been trying to get that figured out since I put Fresh on here. ty ty ty
MaximumPC.com had an article titled "10 Things Android Does Better Than iPhone OS" which has a photo of one device listed under #8 and I would love to have these individual widgets shown in the photo, but I after several hours on the Android Marketplace I have not found them. If anyone knows their name I would be very grateful.
I am too new so I can not link to the photo, but here is the article and the photo I am asking about is on page 2, under sub-title "Android Lets You Change Your Settings Faster"

That might be it, but none of their sample pics show the toggles other than "On/Off". I do like their clocks though...might buy it just for that.
Thanks for the response!

You can get skins for the toggles in the app
Just want to correct myself, its just Beautiful Widgets - Weather and toggle widgets is a seperate app, and is not as good (in my opinion)
yeap i think its switchpro and extendedcontrols
Maybe widgetsoid

@dogwoofer, sorry it has taken me a while, but you were the closest (if not 100% correct). I bought Beautiful Widgets and LOVE IT.
Thanks for the info!
After playing with the Sensation and Sense for a couple days now? The ability to run weather on my lockscreen has literally just blown me away. I don't really care about the prettiest app to do it but in your experience? What's the most reliable lockscreen weather app?
Widgetlocker + your favorite Weather widget
I use WidgetLocker and add Fancy Widgets and/or Beautiful Widgets. Love the options available between those.
Thanks for the suggestions. I've been playing with both for the last couple days. Anything else that puts the weather on the lockscreen?
I like GOTO lockscreen. It's visually impressive (though weather is certainly not the focus of it's visuals and is only a small part) and has practical uses like quickly jumping to phone, SMS, gmail, being able to set phone silent or vibrate, and music lockscreen controls (though this only works with stock music players), weather, battery, phone owner's name on lockscreen.

Still not satisfied with all of these choices. Anything else out there?
I use go laucher and go weather, but widget weather of HTC is the one!
is there a way to turn off the animation that comes on after the unlock of a phone?

Those look great, thanks!
So I use Pandora a lot during work. I would like to have a lockscreen widget that would allow me to forward/pause so that I don't have to unlock the phone etc.
I saw an app called Widget Locker that seems to be able to add widgets. Are there any other mods or apps??
I was also thinking about rooting and wasn't sure if any Rom's would give me that functionality.
Thanks in advance!!
I'd like the same, but for spotify.

There are a number of lockscreen apps, Widget Locker is the one I used. Just about any of them support widgets.
I've just disabled though because I don't want to install yet another app for email/SMS counts and WL requires one. The problem I find with Android is that the more you try to replace the manufacturer's UI with better stuff, the buggier it gets. I set up Tasker routines to renable Widget Locker when getting out of my car (because you don't want your lockscreen coming on when you turn off the screen in a car dock), and ever since, Google Music doesn't instantly stop playing when I pull the headphone plug. Too much going on, I figure, so I just disabled Widget Locker and so far so good.
A ROM might, depends on the ROM.
The price of all our freedom is...lack of polish and bugginess.
I use Widget Locker with another widget called Media Buttons. Media Buttons will allow you to control any/most music players. So what you got to do is, with your phone unlocked, launch Pandora and once the music starts playing lock the phone. The MB widget on your lock screen will now control Pandora. Follow the same process for other players on your phone.

Im wanting to edit my lockscreen kind of like we already edit our homescreen. In particular im looking to get my agenda and a snapshot of the weather on the lockscreen. Is this possible? If so how, oh and im not looking to use a launcher as i like the layout and feel of touch wiz. Thanks
You can't without root. Some manufacturers (e.g. HTC) will have weather info etc. on their lock screens natively, but Samsung doesn't unfortunately.
Well thats stupid! Okay option two/three. Any good lockscreen apps that replace existing lockscreen that dont lag? Or any launchers that sill allow me to keep my own theme and app style and layout but allow me to customize the lockscreen?

I don't know of any lock screen apps off the top of my head because I never use any, but I know they're on the Play Store, so just do a search and see which one would probably fit your needs. Also, the launcher and lock screen are two different things, so installing a custom launcher just affects the home screen and app drawer.

I tried that, and its giving me loads of issues any other suggestions? Thanks
I always used AcDisplay on my past android phones. I haven't set it up on my S7, so I don't honestly recall all the features, but I always liked it so that's a good place to start.
May just be for notifications but I really can't remember.
Try hi locker it uses the fingerprint scanner has good media and notifications has calendar and weather as well
