Lockscreens

I'm looking for lockscreen options and am very interested in experienced users input. Free is best, but it you know of a excellent lockscreen, let us know!
..... and thanks in advance.

To be honest I think the vanilla lock screen is great. I just disabled the HTC one and it was already there. I like being able to set vibrate with just a quick finger swipe. Plus it shows charging status when plugged in and any alarms I have set. If you do that, though, you need the Google desk clock for alarms if you use them.

lockbot is a program out there in the market that can do this
the only drawback is that it has to run all the time in the background...but it makes it very easy to customize your lockscreen

Do you have a link to directions on how to disable the sense lock screen? Thanks in advance!

Delete or rename the htclockscreen. apk

But that kills the alarm.
Or so I've heard.

That's what he said in his post (post #2).

How do you edit the HTC lock screen? I tried using ASTRO but since it doesn't have root privleges it doesn't work.
Could I use Metamorph so rename it?

You can solve that problem by using the deskclock.apk that ships with vanilla 2.2 instead of the HTC one.

I personally love the vanilla lockscreen with the Droid2 metamorph, it looks great

Widgetlocker is great too, you can add extra tabs with shortcuts to whatever you want, and best of all put widgets on your lockscreen. It does cost $1, but it's well worth it if you're looking for a third-party lockscreen replacement.
^that's from my eris, but it will look pretty much the same (read: better) on the Incredible

To remove the htc lockscreen use root manager if you're s-off

S-off will disable the security check, so you can flash unsigned roms from the bootloader. Just in case you somehow accidentally run an OTA or other official update and lose root/clockwork recovery, you can easily get it back.
It also allows you to modify the files in /system/ without rebooting into recovery.
Use unrevoked forever to turn s-off, the tool makes it pretty painless.

What font is that? I like it...the font in your first pick.

i flashed my incredible with forever and renamed the lockscreen.apk but today i dled virtuous 2.4 and when i went to change the lockscreen.apk it says its a read only file again. do i have to install forever again? i thought it was a one time thing

What I did (since I'm too cheap to buy root explorer and haven't looked into adb yet) is I just used Titanium Backup to uninstall it.

iphone style unlock slider

i cant find this rom that used a while back but it used the iphone style slide to unlock.
the forums are showing me stuff for the WinMo phones but nothing for the evo... strange..
if anyone has, knows where, knows how to do the iphone lock screen can you point me in the right direction.
i just wish i could remember what rom that was that i used that had the iphone style slide to unlock.
i really prefer that over stock, or vanilla lock screens.
again i dont want the rom, just the lockscreen.

widget locker has an iphone type unlock option

hhhmm
is that a screenie of just everything it has or is the lock screen really that cluttered?
it has the vanilla lock with sms/mms notification plus it has the iphone unlocker... wierd.

It's my normal screen I just switched from widget lock to iPhone lock, all the other stuff is removable, like the other slide stuff and clock and battery

lockbot free has the iphone style as well.
don't mean to hijack, but I have a similar question. Is it possible to get the puzzle piece lockscreen from the Galaxy S?

I notuce lockbot comments were pretty poor have u had any issues?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

from the few minutes ive played with it (i thought it had the puzzle lock i was looking for, but the only Galaxy locks was the glass slide-any-way ones) it's a bit laggy, but did replace the default sense lock. No double lock screen. It was pretty customizable though theres only a 3 out of 7 you can fully customize in the free version.

just tried it and it works... once the phone starts and you start the app.
but it doesnt auto start.
phone boots to stock lock screen and wont change to the iphone one i made unless i start and then exit the lockbot app.
yierd.....

Lock 2.0 is ok or at least it was "have not run it for a loping while"

lock 2.0 wouldnt do anything, its a seperate app to lock the phone, it doesnt actually replace the lockscreen when you push the lock button.atleast on my phone it doesnt.
plus it only runs 1/2 screen, for me it does. the slider is 1/2 way up the screen and is about 1/2 the size it should be.

Anyone else able to offer any other thoughts on the iphone slide to unlock?
I dont likr apps that do it but if i have to i do.
If someone has this on their phone can you post or email me the apk file. Just the unlocker and i can push/install it myself

Widget locker...any good?

Hi,
Has anyone been using this app on the Nexus S?
I only came across it after I saw the multiple icons on the lockscreen on one of the advertised themes.
Reviews on other sites suggest that there is a lag issue and other errors...none of them seem to be on the Nexus S.
Comments please.....

Im after the same answer, I saw it being used on the home screen post and it looked very good.
I want to start doing some customisazion of my own.

You can add up to 10 shortcut keys on the unlock screen. So, top left corner is camera, top right camera is LED flashlight, left middle is notes, right middle is google voice, bottom left is unlock andd buttom right is to silence it.
Oh and you can add widgets on the screen so i added a calendar widget.
I love this app and its really worth the money, being able to access some of these apps right from the screen is real convinient, especially the camera and flash light.
The only issue i've run into is that if you turn it on and off real quick, it will show the stock slide to ulock screen, and sometimes it will go back to the original slide to unlock screen, at this point you would just click on widget locker again to start it up.
Overall great app!
Better yet I'll post a video to give you an idea

When i search for it in the market is it the one made by Teslacoil software?

That's the one.
Also, it is a known issue that this app will not work along side NoLed.

Heres a vid of the app.

Also, if you notice in the vid, when I turn it on from sleep mode, it shows the stock slider, thats because turn it off and on within 3-5 seconds, it will show the stock slider.

Cheers for that i'm sold.
Just downloaded it.

Awesome!
Thanks a lot. Just downloaded it.

It's a must have app... I made a video about it a while ago. I like my lockscreen with my calendar events and music. Also, if your rooted go to advance and set it to rooted device.

I would recommend widgetlocker. One of my favorite android apps

Widgetlocker is like quickdesk not like extended controls. You can customize your lock screen with widgets, shortcuts, toggles, apps, weather, etc..etc..

(dev of WidgetLocker)
Just wanted to let you guys know that my primary phone is a Nexus S. So the coming update is definitely well tested on this phone
Also I've been talking to the dev of NoLED trying to resolve the conflict between the two apps. Not solved yet though.

I had the issue when I was using CM7 nightly ROm with Netarchy 1.2.2 kernel. But I was also having other issues such as the lockscreen spontaneously coming on and off. The lockscreen on/off was happening even when i disabled widget locker . so I dont think it was the app.
Since I flashed another kernel, it seems to have resolved.
Hope that helps.

Looks really good. Only have one issue though. I use a pin to unlock my phone. This locker bypasses my pin and unlocks my phone without it.

yes.it does so. because it is on beta stage and will be fixed soon since go dev team really updates their apps in very short time.

I am still disappointed by the app
As it is not fast as,well as it does not provide more customizations. But great app for beta level. Can have a great expectations for it.

I like it, but it seems to break SMS LED notifications as provided by LightFlow. Widget Locker doesn't seem to have this issue. It's weird though, but sure why a lock screen app would have anything to do with LED notifications.

My favorite is still agile lock... Will be great to customize the background for example want to use my live wallpaper for background...

I really like this app I have added it to the collection of Go apps I have will be nice when the lock code stays in place

For those interested, customizations are non existent at this point, but the 4 key lock works great on my rooted Infuse 4G running Infused 2.2.3 with Infusion 1.1.

downloading now.
*edit* works like a champ on my NS4G running NSCollab

it's little lagging for me but its in beta and I believe in go dev team...everything from them is awesome. looking forward for updates and thnx for sharing I wont notice it without you

No custome wallpapers? What?! Mehhh I can't see my wallpaper that's a killer for me.

dont know if anyone is having this problem but it messes with my screenshot and i get a red bar with numbers towards the top of the screen. i think its this app cause when i uninstalled it my phone was fine. i really like this app and i cant wait till the bugs are worked out in the app

Nice locker app.
im waiting for the final release
but i think could u add a standalone Go Locker app without using Go Launcher?
I think, it would be good if you add a standalone Go Locker, because not all people here use Go Launcher.

Why when I installed the apk it didn't show any app on my app drawer? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Fit and nothing worked. Do I have to install GO Launcher or something in order for this to work ?
Edit: Never mind, I got it. Installed Go Launcher Ex and applied the Lock screen. It's working well on my Galaxy Fit, I hope there'll be customization for this~ I love the four lock screen <3
make more themes please, it looks promising

like most of lockers when you turn on your device from sleep mode u can see for some seconds your home screen.
Also when you restart your phone default locker is there the first time....
Great app btw, nice sms notifications.

Good locker, but it is possible to reduce the timeout of lockscreen (when the power button was pressed but screen was not unlocked and then don't touch anything) to default timeout (3-5 sec.)?

One thing I realized is that this isn't really a lockscreen.. Handcent sms does not acknowledge that this is a lockscreen when you set up for pop up notifications. And also it would be good if you can also have the stock android lockscreen come after the lock to ensure security or have some sort of the same in the GoLocker itself.
Just my two cents..

Sorry, android only allows system apps to change location settings.
GPS can be toggled in this app due to an exploit in the AOSP power-toggle-widget.
But for example on Samsung phones, this is not possible (samsung changed the widget settings).
I would if I could. Long click GPS icon will bring you to the location settings page, wich is still faster then browsing to it with the normal settings app.

Unfortunately, it's the same story as I wrote in my previous post.
Android restricts the toggling to system only. I'm not completely sure though, so I'll do some googling again.

In the new version is written, that the trial version is over. But there was never written that this is an trial version. There are only differences between the functions in the beta and the pro.
Wanted to test the app and than buy the pro, but not like this.

I got a suggestion, tell me if you like it (this will gold for all people):
-User will get a 4 day trial of all functions
-After 4 days, you won't be able to use Configure anymore, and the data already configured will be reset
-When you install the PRO version , everything will come back.
Deal or no deal?
Tell me if you have a suggestion too.

Sure it does. It's not a statusbar replacement, it just has a UI like it.
About swiping it up: I'm working on this, but bugfixes are more important in my opinion.
You can press the statusbar close shade anyway to close it, it'll do the same as the back button.
