Lock Screen Options? - Android Apps and Games

I'm running the "leaked" froyo on my Samsung Captivate and the default lock screen makes me a bit crazy (it's a panel that you can swipe to unlock but it seems to be a little testy - you have to swipe the right length and fast enough to unlock - not one hand friendly...).
Most of the android builds I tried before buying this phone had a different lock screen (that I liked better). Searching around the market and the forums, I've only found a couple options and nothing like what I'm looking for.
Anyone have advice on how I can replace my lock screen and where I should look for a replacement?
Thanks!

So, maybe I didn't look around very well... I went out to look at WidgetLocker which looks pretty nice. I also found Simply Lockscreen by FireZenk which is pretty nice. Some of the options don't seem to work and you can use the home button to unlock the screen - not sure if that's a feature or a bug and I'm not sure if I think that's a good thing or not but it definately helps with the one hand operation .

I need help too
After trying using the WidgetLocker / Simply LockScreen .. it wouldnt help .. the Samsungs LockScreen remains there ... which makes it now 2 lockscreens at the same time :S
what to do?

Mine worked fine. Maybe there was an option to turn off the lock screen that I hit? I'm on a captivate with froyo.

a combination lock for the lock screen ....

i was wondering if there was anyone out there that knows of or has made a MOD for the lockscreen that is a combination lock (old school style) like this

i dont know if there is even a path someone can point me in would be grreat .... maybe tweaking the rotary lock
Dude that would be amazing.

+2, have to spin it to the right, and it stops, then back to the left to open`...
crazy ideas~
Or how bout you put for numbers on a rotary lockscreen so then it can be a combination lock with a passcode and you have to slide it back and forth to put the code in

i´m realy interested in a lockscreen with combination lock like old safes.
some news?
glad to see support now if the dev with the know how could show there skill ...
I don't develop at the moment, but if you were to design it like an encoder, and have each hash mark be a marker, and use and logic when it gets the 3 locations, it'd open. You'd have to have a clear button incase you messed up though.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
I am interested in an app like this, I think it would be awesome
this is a bad ass idea, bump bump

This is pretty close...same Guy made ripple lock and agile lock its in the market and free....its called strongbox lock. You put in password and spin the dial with your finger. And there's a cool vault opening animation to unlock your phone....

This is pretty close, and a great concept. I think having the dial to enter the numbers would be a nice option, that way you can choose the style you like

hmm..it works alright, but not great. Anyone know how this effects battery life with the proximity sensor on constantly?
Is the state of the proximity sensor set to always "on" ? meaning draining the battery?
I've been using the app almost all day and I havnt noticed any dramatic decrease in my battery

Just to let u now I didn't create this app I found a few years ago and some one in rcmix wanted a way to unlock device with out using power button so I showed him this and thought would share so i can't take any credit or help with any solutions I can only show how to set up prop
U can change how long the sensor is on in options
I currently use widgetlocker. With it you can set the volume buttons to wake the phone, and then hit the back key to unlock. Bypassing the sense lock screen until you have to enter your pin. Its a whole lock screen replacement. its highly customizable, and you can add widgets, shortcuts, and custom sliders to your lock screen. It may not be your cup of tea if you adore the sense 3.0 lock for its eye candy. But if you prefer functionality along with your eye candy then widgetlocker is the way to go. Its only $2 in the market.
I agrea but I do like the sense 3.o lock shame widget locker done a sense 3.0 lock screen ow well

It seemed like a good idea until I put the phone in my pocket. If this could be done with the softbuttons instead it wouldn't accidentally unlock when you put it in your pocket.
This app is just so good....
thanks for sharing , will see during the day about battery drain... but i'm confident.
My sensor is staring to glow a feint red, only see able in the dark, is this normal? Started after using this app

Iphone Lock Screen

Hey I was wondering whats the best way to replicate the iphone lock screen? Is it cm7 theme chooser?
You could try widgetlocker. It has the iPhone lock screen.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
There is an app somewhere that replicates the iphone lock screen. Used to use it on my old phone. So don't have the apk. Search a bit and you'll find it
I have, I am currently using widget locker, I've seen another app but apparently it won't scale. Correctly on the sensation, i didn't try it but saw. A. Comment from an. Evo. I'm guessing there's no. Cm7 themes?

There is an Miui theme with that Lockscreen. And yes it scales correctly. I used it for some time. Other than that I'm out of ideas lol

What's wrong with you banana? I got an android device. For the a ability to customize it. I'm allowed to do what i want with it. If you're immature enough to not have the ability to resist pointless posts that have nothing to do. With the thread, you should be banned.
And I don't really like miui. The interface isn't functional to me. I like cm7. Just want a iphone lock screen. I'll try magic locker.

What about "Lock 2.0"? Haven't used it in forever (coincidentally, it was the first app I ever bought for Android - lol), but it was specifically made to have the iPhone style locking, as well as give it some personal flare.
Yea that's the one he's using. The screen is compressed and the slider bar is really long and skinny. I've tried it without any luck. I now use "no lock" and just hit any button and am on my main screen, I never really saw the use of pressing a button just to do another task..

I do this, except I use a passcode. I just wish android/cm7 will release a lockscreen I like. Rotary did it for me for a while, but it become almost too complicated for me. I didn't like that if I used it to change the sound, i have to wait for the thing to finish rotating. I just want something I slide and it unlocks, but the default sliding tabs in my opinion are ugly. I liked sense's lockscreen, but the cm7 replication doesn't do it for me. looks too... circular
Widget Locker is what you're looking for

As far as I know, The Bulletproof rom has 3 separate lock screens. Personally, I don't trust apps like Widget locker because I'm sure that it's not hard to hack the application off even if the device were to be "locked".

Wtf? Do you have some CIA baddies comin to yo house at night tryin ta get to your phone? Who on earth has access to your phone for long enough to attempt to hack into it, let alone with the know ow to even use a Android phone well enough to hack it?
just curious.. lol it seems odd, mine has a pattern lock on it after 3 minutes just cause i have...pics.. on there and my parents cant find them, but i never let ppl use my phone without me being there as it is.
Mine has a pattern lock after 10 minutes. Haha, I don't know. I just feel insecure.
I've had to "hack" a passcode lock off my old G1 (Since I left it in my drawer for over a year, I didn't quite remember the passcode.) and It would've been a lot easier to just remove the widget locker app from ADB if I were using it.
Anyways, I was desperate to flash that laggy ICS Port for the G1. Can't wait for CM9.

you could have booted into recovery straight away and flash it...
That's exactly what I did. Straight off to ICS. It was laggy as hell though. But it was still pretty cool

The pre-1.0 Bulletproof distribution did, but unfortunately they were removed in the 1.0 release.
They are on the list of things to be added, but many other things are ahead of this and it will be some time before we see them in Bulletproof again.

Go Locker

Hello all,
I have a couple of questions about Go Locker for those that use it or use Go Launcher EX.
I actually hated it at first for a number of reasons but recently gave it another try. I know I have modified my phone the way I like it and have 2 locker themes I really would love to use.
However, what seriously frustrates me is the lag and inconstant performance. First off, when I power cycle the phone or restart it, it will load the default Skyrocket lock screen for a while before it eventually only loads the Go Locker screen I have chosen. Second, it sometimes does not display the lock screen immediately after waking the phone up by pressing that power button.
I love this very much but I seriously hate the lag and poor performance.
Has anyone been able to tweak this or find a workaround?
Thank you much,
i use milocker
Ahh, never heard of milocker. Does it perform well for you? Is is fast after waking the phone? Do they have themes or are there any from third-party?
Thanks!
I found either go locker or one of go lockers themes seemed.to help my battery drain real quick . I'm going to try milocker also
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
milocker has many themes. some work faster than others.
I completely agree with this! Very true. Not only are some slow as mentioned below even with milocker, but some do have an impact on battery life. I personally won't use any that has some kind of animation.
I just found one high tech theme that looks amazing and works great, as long as I disable the clock. Don't really need the clock on lock screen. Works great!!
Thank you all
