Does anyone know of a better lockscreen app than widgetlocker?
Widget locker is pretty much the best but you could try LockBot.

I was curious, so I tried LockMenu from the market. It's an ad-supported app, but it seems to work pretty well so far. I haven't tried WidgetLocker.

I decided to give adw another try, if you do and change your setup to run 8 columns and 5 rows without icon text you can fit a ton of stuff on your home screens. Just make sure you resize your widgets accordingly.
Will post a couple screenshots soon.

Running eugenes Vibrant hybrid R3, best thing you can do with the phone if you want to remove most of touchwiz, not just hide it.

I was running that for awhile, and it was super fast.
SRE1.2.3 w ext2 is working better for me as i need gps for the time being.
Anyone have any ideas for a good theme or two from this launcher?

I've gone between adw and launcher pro and I kinda like launcher pro better but adw has way better configurations. I'd say the speeds about the same.

I tried ADW again because after my latest restore LP kept on FC on me.
I like LP's scrollable dock, but the ability to have 20 icons+ Fancy widget on the main screen is working well for me.
I use laucherpro because I can have 5 icons on the dock and have an additonal 5 applications off the dock via swipe.
it is super fast, works, and kinda digging the new facebook widget, works well.
I love the stock sense ui, but I really miss the scrollable dock I had on my launcher pro ui setup. Anyone know of a mod that will replace the sense dock with something more launcher pro-esque without sacrificing access to the sense widgets?
Thanks

I know this is like beating a dead horse and yes I do understand that for some reason people like Sense that much more....but what widget is it that you really want that is available in Sense but not Launcher Pro? I say this as someone who was a huge fan of Sense until I actually set up Launcher Pro with the dock and icons and widgets I wanted at which point I could never see myself going back to (at least the current version of) Sense.
Rather than starting the old debate, I mean this more as an offer to help you find a compromise.
I had launcher pro on my epic before I took it back, and really loved it, it was the lite (free) version, so have it didn't have all the widgets avail on the donation version.
I love the live weather clock, the book mark page, the enhanced music player, and the friend stream feed.
I actually just looked at the widgets you get with the donation version, and they seem to cover every thing but the sense clock. Are there free apps that will provide equivalent to the htc sense apps that I could use with launcher pro?

for a sense clock download fancy widget from the market. works exactly the same, looks exactly the same
There are quite a few weather and clock apps. Beautiful widgets stands out but there are others like Fancy Widget as well. The bookmarks I'm not sure about since I use my browser's bookmarks. There is a Friends widget with LP but I never used it since those kinds of widgets demolish battery and I prefer to just check that stuff from Facebook or whatever. There are quite a few music widgets as well and many are much nicer than the Sense one as well.
Honestly your best bet is to get the full LP. It's a very good app and worth the tiny price. Between their widgets and all of the ones (free and paid...mostly free) in the market, there shouldn't be anything getting in your way. I'd rather just pay for LP and have all of my options than try to hack Sense to be as flexible as LP. Sense is a decent bit of polish on the base Android OS if you like how it looks but it is hard to customize and it is missing some of the best parts of third party launchers. Check out the screenshot and LauncherPro threads in this subforum and you might just find some things that make Sense look boring.
If you really do need something from Sense, you will probably need to give up the scrolling dock but there are some nice themes to make it at least look better than the default scheme.
Thanks guys, the info is exactly what I needed

Did a search for 'fancy', 'fancy widget(s)' and didn't see anything relevant, is it listed under a different name?

I have the minimalist text program and love how it displays the weather. I can click it and have it pull up any program and run it. I also have fancy widget installed. I would like to click the minimalist widget and it pull up the nice fancy weather overlay that the fancy widgets use. If anyone knows what I'm talking about let me know if it's possible. If you don't understand I'll try and explain it better. Using my phone so bear with me.

I'm currently on Trip's MiUI, and I really can't get myself out of it, but at the same time I really want to go back to CM7.
Are there any amazing themes for CM7 + ADWEX that would compare to the theming that MiUI has? I'm running NEON (Blue) right now. Also, I really love the custom lockscreen's that MiUI has, anything comparable using CM7 + ADWEX?
widget locker which isnt free, but worth the price you pay for the lockscreen
and if you like the miui launcher, theres one on the android app thread
I went back to CM7 last night. I got WidgetLocker, and I'm trying to figure out how to get those custom icons on the lockscreen. I wanted a minimalist approach to it. I want a similar lockscreen to the MiUI one where it's a wheel and you just drag the centre to the app icons. I don't think that can be done on WidgetLocker though.
I have the miui theme on my widget locker. You have to go to the XDA thread for widget locker

Im running ARHD 6.0.3 XE and I've been looking for a ICS lockscreen with a message/call/camera/unlock option instead of just the camera/unlock option. I have seen that type of lockscreen and can get it using GO Launcher EX (with GO Locker plugin) BUT the issue is that I hate that launcher due to the widgets for it don't work for some reason so I stick to sense 3.5 I just want to change the lockscreen but not the actual launcher. I would like to keep sense 3.5. I've been looking into WidgetLocker with the ICS theme but i cant find a pic of the lockscreen and I dont want to pay for the program to find out that the ICS theme lockscreen for it only contains the camera/unlock options rather than the camera/message/call/unlock options. I attached a pic of what im looking for, its a pic from Go Launcher ICS Locker plugin. I have searched all over the web and xda and only found apps that only contain the camera/unlock option. Is it possible to use the lockscreen without using Go Launcher? (Im a noob, sorry). thanks so much in advance!

I have never had any lag from Widget Locker. I'm pretty sure you'll be satisfied with the results.

widgetlocker won't make you feel lag. but widgetlocker may not open in the 1st minute you turn on the phone. no big deal. good app in deed.

Go into advanced settings in Widget Locker and disable stock lockscreen and the issue with standard lockscreen popping up is gone.

No pattern, pin or face unlock.
All of these lock screens allow anyone to pickup your phone and give you a massive creditcard bill from Google Play... what are you thinking?
OMG
