Best lockscreen for Nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I didn't find directly a discussion thread about locksreens, I created one.
But anyway, what lockscreens do you use? I used Cover with my SGS3, but now I want something different. And I really don't know others. What are your favorite locksreens and why?

I'm using AcDisplay right now, used DynamicNotifications for a long time before that. Widget Locker Pro is really nice if you're looking for a more customizable stock lockscreen.

WidgetLocker for me. Can theme it as you like

I wish this supported a transparent Nav-Bar.
or does it ?

I think the default android lockscreen seems pretty good ! With modified dark background (and blurred on some custom ROMs) and the possibility to add widgets ! GravityBox let us change the shortcuts on the circle bar... That's a lot of good things

Its not very secure either. I can use my last app button to take me back to my launcher while bypassing my PIN entry. Otherwise it would be awesome

I've tried so many but constantly came back to the default... It's just simple, fast, and efficient. And with the added lockscreen notifications that many ROMs and I think gravity mod has it makes it real nice

None! Never use the lockscreen...

It's a UCCW clock pack. I forget which one but it's from this developer. He has a few and I installed them all.

Slidelock is my primary lockscreen. It isn't customizable as much as the others listed but it does a good job.

I like slidejoy. Puts ads on your lockscreen and pays you for them. But it makes my N5 crash and reboot so I can't use it

[REQ] Think this would be a cool theme!

So currently I'm using a 5s (jailbroken) and using this theme. I think this would be an awesome theme on the Nexus 5! Of course, it would take some changes for android but wouldn't it be cool?! I'm getting my nexus 5 on Tuesday so would love to have this on it!

you need this APP named Themer:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer
For the icons you can use a theme/icons pack with an alternative launcher, if you want to keep the stock launcher I heard an Xposed module to change the stock icons but I don't find it...
Yep: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sg.ruqqq.IconThemer&hl=en (I have not tested but users reported working with the stock launcher).
There's already a ton of iOS icons. Why would any one want to clutter their home screen like that? Just stick to your iPhone
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Instead of bashing the OP, try and be helpful. What if the OP was running MIUI or a similar Android variant?
I have a friend using the same theme on his iPhone, icons look better than the stock ones IMO but a little too bright for my taste!
Use ilauncher! I can give u the .apk its EXACTLY like the real ios7 (same statusbar!)
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk
install nova launcher etc and use iOS icon, or install themer and just choose the theme and apply
Such a shame to make the Nexus 5 look like an Iphone.. You have so much other themes to choose from, that really make the phone stand out... But hey, if you feel for it then go for it..
Nexus 5 Droidkang Rom and Chaos Kernel, ART/OC/UV.. super smooth, and blazing fast.

Okay, didn't expect everyone to go bananas on me, but that's ok. I don't want it to look EXACTLY like an iPhone, your getting the wrong idea. I meant how the icons have that shadow behind the logo, I thought it was cool. And another thing. I'm not saying this is a necessity to switching, I'm switching either way. I've been on android since the gingerbread days, and I'll always love it more than the iPhone. I apologize for sharing my thoughts, had I know I would have gotten this feedback. And thank you to those who did suggest me things!

Themer Beta

just installed this and its pretty nice:

Yeah, it's nice! I just wish it could modify my lockscreen and app-drawer also, but not yet unfortunately.
Skickat från min G2 genom Tapatalk
I cant use it, it says if my phones dpi is changed. I use flex roms, in none of them themer works.
How do we get it to work on our dpi? I'm on stock G2 firmware.

Check out >this post< from bigfau. A possible fix if your rom supports hiding the nav bar.
I was able to use it on my g2 unfortunately the constant re-draws of widgets and no lock screen support were a turn off. However, they are the nicest screens and VERY easy to use...
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
I agree that the scenes look nice, but I always had problems with the in launcher weather widgets and the redraws so I went with nova launcher and zooper widget.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
its in beta version yet but the launcher looks like its heading in the right direction. i use nova prime also.
I tried out themer a few times. It seemed to drain my battery rather quickly so I stopped use.

Yea it kinda redraws but for that I installed "memory locker" from play store and locked the memory of themer to stay. Quite handy until they implement the lock home launcher memory.

You must have messed with your nav bar size. Maybe made it smaller using g2 exposed??
That was happening to me and when i reset the nav bar size themer started working just fine.

Based on the description that's underneath Sense 6 Toolbox for you, I'm guessing you're using the pre-alpha version. There's an actual more stable version in Xposed now in case you didn't know.

No, it won't stick with temp-root.
"Immerse Me" is pretty decent. Hides the nav & status bars in most apps.
Sense 6 Toolbox - for tons of great features. Some might just be aesthetic, but others offer great functionality (like completely blocking access to the power menu while my pattern lock is on the screen).
Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons - to edit the contents (and order) of my navbar
GravityBox - for circle battery and a few other features
Is there a specific link for xposed on the M8?
or just the regular link?
