Is there any developers out there thinking or thought of a way to make different lock screens, now that we have so many roms to choose from and with the root tools available with SDK.
Have you seen the Lock Widgets app? Or do you mean a completely different style of lock screen, such as one that uses a different unlock gesture?

Yes i have seen the Lock Widgets app and for some reason it dont work with the Rom i am running for the focus, but i do mean creating different unlock styles.
Works on Focus for me though. What exactly does not work ?

Well the whole thing dont work for me running voluptuary's Rom. If i try to use any other wallpaper than the one i was using when i install the xap it does the multiple thing showing like 6 of them. The weather never shows up, so basically the whole concept of the xap doesn't work on that Rom. However it does work with other ones. Not to worried about as i have some things in the works but may not succeed.

It's nothing like a honeycomb. It still is only possible to unlock by sliding finger down.
U can unlock in any directions

Not true my friend. I can unlock the screen in any directions.
See this other video:
I guess you haven't tried it. This is not like the other work in progress Honeycomb lockscreen project(s) on XDA forum.
This is using Lockbot Pro.
If you are going to do something like this, you might as well use ripple lock.
Also, the Themes and Apps section is just around the corner, and is a much more suitable place for this. This is not android development.
Thanks for the info fella

LOL...do u know how buggy ripple lock is compared to this lockbot pro solution?
The reason for my post is "Information sharing" bcs not everybody is aware of this and not everyone visits the Themes and Apps section.

I am glad you found my post informational.
There is one problem on your video - the clock is moving too when you unlock screen. Nice try, but it's just a very simple mock.
Source code ??? anyone ?

Like I said, there are many other honeycomb unlock screen solution and i've tried some and they all end up making my phone lag or only work sometime or some which u must flash via OR caused my phone to boot loop.
So far this solution works pretty well for me.
I don't mind the clock moving along because after u unlock the screen, the clock from the lock screen disappear. So it does not matter to me.
Ripple lock works very well, on my SGSII atleast and looks better too.
I'm looking for a lockscreen app that allows access to specific apps on my phone without actually unlocking my phone. For example, i want friends to be able to pickup my phone and call someone, select a new song, use the internet browser, but not actually unlock my phone. I tried a few different lockscreen apps and they all allow for the lockscreen shortcuts to specific apps, but if your phone is locked, u must unlock it before using the shortcuts. Ideally, the app im looking for would still have the same shortcuts as in widgetlocker, but wouldnt require lock, provide limited access to only the shortcut app, and then have the standard unlock screen as well. anything like this already out there? or is it possible to create something like this? Thanks!
I'm on droid bionic, gingerbread, rooted.
Don't know if this helps, but when I was on CyanogenMod 7.2, I enabled lockscreen gestures (can't remember exact menu steps). You can set up gestures like switch music tracks, open specified app, unlock, etc. This lockscreen is built into the ROM, though. Worked for me.

When you launched apps was the rest of the phone still locked? Most apps that have launch capabilities from the lock screen seem to lack security. after opening an app you can just use the home screen button or back button to get to the main menu.

Again, this app doesn't actually keep the phone locked. When u go to camera from the lock screen nothing stops you from simply clicking the homescreen button to unlock the phone entirely.

I believe it was; however, I'm not 100% sure. I have a backup of my phone with that setup, so I can revert later on tonight and check for you.

No, the phone is not secure after using lockscreen gestures to open an app. Sorry, I couldn't help. Hope you find what you're looking for.

I asked this a while back wondering if its been made yet.
Went back to Slim rom but am missing the lock screen notifications that Carbon and a lot of others have.
Anyone know of an xposed module for this option?
I don't think so. But why not just use something like DashClock? I know it's not the same, but it can serve a lot of similar functions. And it gives you a nice lock screen widget, as a bonus!

Thanks but thats quite a bit different. I love slim and didn't think I would care but I have gotten very used to it.
Here, Nils, is what you are looking for. In settings you can change the notification to open an app instead of preview https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
Are you talking about active display?
might be a noob question, but is there a way to put a different widget/clock on my lock screen or am i stuck with the boring stock one? I'm talking about when my phone is locked, not my desktop.
If you download Samsung's app, Good Lock, in the Galaxy Apps store, you'll have the option to change the lockscreen clock widget. However, with the app, a lot of other things change as well.
I think you're going to have to use a custom lock screen app from the Play Store. There are a bunch on there but most of them don't support the fingerprint scanner, you'll have to use a digit or pattern unlock code.

unfortunately i haven't
I am trying to find an application or something to remove everything from my lock screen, or a replacement that let's you use your fingerprint and can be made blank. I am rooted, running substratum, and on the latest version of PixelDust.

substratum LockClean
look it up
I have tried this, and it either does nothing, or crashes substratum and makes me redo everything.

hmmm... must be your ROM.
works great on stock. I keep the clock, disable / hide everything else. black background.
I've tried that too. On stock pixel 2 and it never works all the way. I really want that damn clock gone. Lol. I tried other lockscreens but they have ads.

So I found an app that solves this. The guy who made kustom widget gt has made kustom lock screen app and posted it under early access in the play store. And it's exactly what I want. A simple lock screen with just a picture and a lock on it. Gives you tons of options. I'm thinking of going pro to play around with all the features.
