Would this be possible? I don't like the time in my top bar, so I removed it. I have beautiful widget on my main screen, so I see the time there; but sometimes I'd like to know the time by pulling down my notification bar. That would be a cool mod, anyone else agree?

I guess, but somehow I don't think people spend all that much time in their notifications drawer.
I never really understood why people removed the clock from the status bar just because they have a homescreen clock widget, but then again, for me, the one that I'd want to know at all times regardless of where I am in Android or even on my lockscreen is the time, and where it is now, I never have to worry about not having it.
What's the secret for BW? When I unlock my phone and the weather displays, it opens the clock or weather skin change menu. I haven't always had that issue and can't seem to get it to just display the weather then let me see my home screen-I have to hit Home each time. I've tried setting it back to the weather/clock combos that I haven't had issues with but no luck. Are there certain developers to avoid or a setting I need to change? Love the app and the options but hate this issue. Any ideas?
Edit: Ive got it worked out

Does anyone know a good looking lockscreen that will show you 'miss call' ?
I dont know about missed calls, but Lock Bot is an excellent replacement lockscreen that seems to work perfectly in FroYo. There are a lot of styles too.

You could also try WidgetLocker. I wasn't a big fan of it on my Aria because it seemed laggy and I'd see the stock lockscreen a lot of times, but the Infuse appears to actually have enough power to run WidgetLocker correctly. There's all sorts of stuff you can do to modify your lockscreen with that. You could set up a WidgetLocker lockscreen and then use a widget of your choosing to display the information you want. I'm working on and off right now on designing a widget to display missed calls, unheard voicemail, unread texts, and probably some other stuff with minimalistic text. WidgetLocker isn't free though, so read up on it before you buy it. It does have some quirks.
I personly do not like the lock screen at all and I use No Lock so that as soon as I hit power it is on my home or apps. Just make sure you have Advace Task Manager ignore it.
ummm.... the stock one?!?! that shows missed calls.
How did you remove the stock lockscreen?

"No Lock" is the name of an app that will turn off the stock lock screen. Its in the market.
The SGS II lockscreen is nice and has it. You need a ROM with it.

I never got into all the fancy control-your-microwave-from-your-lockscreen gadgetry. I have always preferred to use a secure lockscreen, and in that regard I have always liked the pattern lockscreen. I always see screenshots of these fancy lock ring screens, though, does anyone use the unsecure ones?
I really like the sense lockring with the 4 shortcuts. It's not secure from the point of somebody else using your phone but the shortcuts are very nice to have, especially the camera button. I have mine set to show my pictures as a changing slide show.
None.
I like to hit the volume rockers and have the phone pop up ready to use.
If that means I pocket dial someone once in a while (hasn't happened in the 6 months I've had an android) so be it.
I like the stock lockscreen
Virtuous Quattro
I like the stock lock screen.
Ring makes it easy access and 4 shortcuts are convenient.
Plus it looks great.
If you are taking about the lock/unlock itself, I like the pattern lock for speed.

I use the sense lockscreen. When I was on CM7, I liked a customized iPhone slider lockscreen with shortcuts via widgetlocker.
I use the weather sense lockscreen.

same here, i think it looks grand !!
I got tired of Stock sense unlock so I found Widget Locker from market and customized it like stock ICS unlock with time and weather info.
You can set whatever shortcuts and widgets with it and have them be usable or touch locked
Only thing it can't change from stock is the call answer/decline. They still use the HTC ring.
Together with ADW Launcher with ICS icons I have completely revamped my Sensation.
If you don't use a secure(pattern/pin/etc) lockscreen though, aren't you afraid of someone picking up your phone and reading your emails, texts, etc?
Stock for me but I do like some off them out there .... just some off them are buggy.

I use the lockscreen only to protect from accidentially dialing a number
I like the shortcuts to use directly without unlocking. And I have no important mails and texts on my phone...

First off, my phone is rarely outside of my pocket.
Second, if I were to leave it laying around, who's going to read my emails?
So no....not worried about it.

I never leave my phone unattended. I'm more concerned with someone stealing it than I am with them reading my email and making a twitter post in my name
The pattern/pin unlock screens are just too much work for me. It seems like I check to see if I have any new email every 5 minutes -the easier the better.
The new ICS face unlock is fun. It seems to recognize me about 80% of the time.

Guys,
How to completely remove the HTC Ringlock?
Sense weather lockscreen.

This is the reason I have a PIN lock on mine. Use the Sense Weather lockring screen, but coupled with the PIN unlock too.
I work in a school, so don't want to risk either leaving it in a classroom by accident or having it lifted out my pocket!
using weather lockscreen
I am using the stock lockscreen, sometimes with a different background, but thats about as fancy as it gets for me
Has anyone figured out how to get the Google current weather to show up as a notification on the Lollipop lockscreen? I would like to see it there on top all the time.

In google now options activate weather for your location. Then on lock screen pull down as if expanding notifications and it should pop up.
Good luck.
In Google Now, "Interested in weather updates for your location?" is set to Yes. On the lockscreen, there is nothing to pull down. The clock and date are in the center of the lockscreen and when I swip down, they just pulsate once.

Sorry bare with me. I managed to get it there but once swiped away it disappeared. Think it must have just been a notification thing. Sorry. I use beautiful widgets from play store for mine. I know its not what your after but its an alternative.
I just got it once here also. I tapped on it and it opened Google Now. Now it is gone from the lockscreen again. I guess once it is there...you can't tap it. I used Beautiful Widgets before and also DashClock but the weather was different with those since they don't use the same provider as Google Now. It was a notification that I had since Lollipop doesn't support lockscreen widgets that I know of.
How are you keeping the Beautiful Widgets on your lockscreen? Is it a notification?
Google now weather
I have also experienced the disappearing Google Now 'current weather' notification in lockscreen on both my nexus 5 devices. It showed up on the lockscreen one time after pulling down on the time but after unlocking my screen and relocking the device i have never been able to replicate the weather notification
The notification has come back on mine. If you swipe it away or reboot your phone, it seems to come back sometime within the next hour or so.
I use 1weather it's good for me
