Lock Screen Options?

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.

Sense 3.0 Lockscreen

Hey guys
I saw this on XDA TV, not sure if some of you have seen the Sense 3.0 lock screen, I think the effect is pretty cool. Is pretty much the Sense Lock screen as an app, and it works on any android device. The app is called Agile Lock.

I like the lockscreen. Having issues with the standard lockscreen becoming active at the same time. Even after setting it to none. Basically i have to unlock the standard lockscreen then unclock the agile lockscreen..

Thank you so much for posting this! I love this phone but I can't stand the lock screen! I have been wondering why the ROM developers have not included some way of changing the lock screen, at least back to the vanilla Android lock.

I'm assuming you mean the developers at OEMs because I'm loving the ability to change between quite a few lock screens on Audiophile thanks to Raver. xD

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?

Looking at the description, I don't think this will work... will know in 5 seconds......
And it............ did....... not work. Thanks for trying though.

lol dang, sorry man, no other ideas

Thanks anyway, I just wish we had a simple lock screen like iphone.

Try magiclocker from the market its free

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

Magiclocker also has a sweet Samsung puzzle lock theme as well

Banned. All of you.

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.

Lol i was on my phone and couldn't remember his name, but banana rang a. Bell

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

Very good mod... i love it !!!

that's pretty sick!

whoa...thats amazing...

one word, WOOOOW , this will save the power button for sure...

but the thread had been closed for a while now :/ i don't think it's good for us
I wonder if the zip file would work on SST ^^

I would definitely love to have it too!

Fantastic !!
We need it, but i hope it doesn't drain more the battery...

It does ... normally screen is off and touch area is also. If this mod is loaded screen touch zone is ON draining battery also background app prevents deep sleep ... so i wont use this

Amazing!
Can't wait for this!

wow, awesome!

I want it!!....now!! :d

hmmm no one want this mod?

I have "wave to wake" from tap tap app. (Also wave to lock as well)
I know it may use a little more battery but it's uber-cool to use the force LOL...

Favorite HOX features.

This is a thread to list some cool things you like about the phone. Maybe point out a few things that other people didn't know yet.
For me I would have to say that the keyboard is awesome. Also the fact that it already has a printer option built in. Voice recognition on this phone is awesome. And of course face recognition is great too.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I've been a Swype user since the Nexus One, but I have to say that the Trace feature on the HTC keyboard is impressive. It's noticeably quicker to render words after swyping/tracing. Only downside I've noticed is you can't place the cursor on previous words and choose alternate suggestions. Unless I'm missing an option for this.

Ha. And I though it was an improved swype this whole time
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Interesting comment about the keyboard. I'll be receiving my HOX today but most reviews say the HTC keyboard is ****. Seeing the entire row of arrows on the bottom leads me to agree (but then again, I haven't used it yet). How does it compare to the stock ICS keyboard? I don't like Swype so I'm sure I won't ever use that feature.

About that. I tried using the face detect to lock my screen and at first i thought to myself, man does this work well.
Then for fun I had my dad look at the camera and guess what, the phone unlocked itself for him too. Now I know we look somewhat alike, but not that close.
Long story short, I wouldn't trust that feature..

My favorite feature is definitely the screen! I can't keep my eyes off of it. I do not like the HTC Sense keyboard and for those of you that also do not like it you can go to the Play Store and download the stock ICS keyboard and it works great on the One X. It is much more similar to the iPhone keyboard that I am used to and is spaced further apart than stock sense keyboard. Also, you get more screen room for viewing while texting or writing messages if you use the stock ICS keyboard.

It works for pictures of you as well... It can't distinguish depth.

Well they're working on a modified face unlock that requires you to blink so picture would be useless.

The apps button on the lower right is the coolest so far for me. Swipe up to close apps and you can open any recent apps...
It takes the only good feature of the Blackburry playbook and adds it to Android. Sorry if this is old for HTC... first one for me.

Dial a number with the keypad in your hand... phone vibrates when they pick up if you don't have it on your ear.

That's not really a new feature. I've had that on every HTC phone i've used. Windows mobile, windows phone.

I personally hate this feature. A dedicated button? I liked long press home. Now I don't have a quick way to search plus I haven't found a way to assign a long press action to any of them.

Once we have root it should be long press home button for recent apps, multitask button as menu button, and long press multitask for search. I miss voice search lol it was easier on an inspire

From what I can tell, by swiping the recent application does not close the application. I have opened several apps and then hit the home button then the recent applications button and swiped them... then opened up the apps again and they are right back where I left them. I think it only deletes the recent app bookmark and not closes the app itself.
