Hey guys,
I love the slide2unlock app. It's much less fiddly than the standard lock app, and it lets me play music with the device asleep. Winner.
The only thing that annoys me is the rest of the interface that it comes bundled with. I like turning my phone on and seeing my today screen at a glimpse.
I'd prefer if either:
1. The rest of the app disappeared, so only the bar remained, thus covering only the bottom bit of my screen; or
2. the whole app was transparent so I could see my today screen; or
3. It'd be AWESOME if someone could make the bar into a today screen plugin! If I had the technical knowhowI'd certainly give it a stab!
Any ideas anyone?

i would love to see this as well
As would I, prefer just to see the home screen/widgets I've spend ages tweaking rather than the duplicated S2U2 version of battery and appointments etc.
Is there one of these just on there own same as the iphone lock screen? Can't find one without alot of other crap thrown in there aswel.

The S2U2 app isn't the best IMO installed it and didn't like it just not what I'm after. Will just leave the standard unlock screen. Thanks for the help
I was just wondering, so many people (including me) are complaining about the original swipelock thingy and only want the pattern lock.
Why not create a replacement app like flyscreen but just a pattern lock replacement, and use no lock (or maybe even implement it)... i think many people would buy it, i know i would!
Unfortunately i'm not a dev so I won't make money from such a project, has anyone thought about it?
I don't mind the swipe lock as it's plain and simple.
It's not bad (it's actually great far better than the iphone one for instance), it's just i would much apreciate using pattern lock without the swipe, i'm not a dev and thought this was a way to do it... since there are many threads about the subject leading us to weird lockers replacing the swipe one, maybe one could create a replacement lock but being a "simple" pattern lock. I was just wondering (and hoping) if this was actually possible.
Are there any developers here on XDA who have their own versions of lock screens for the HD2.
I have tried Kumar's ROM series which uses the Iphone like lock screen but it doesnt display unread sms and miss calls properly.
Secondly: I tried Duttys HD Rom series (currently) and it has the HD Mini style lock screen which even gives you a preview of unread messages, appointments, miss calls etc.
So are there other lock screens available ? I see people posting in other threads cool lock screens and mention something about CHT2.0 etc. So is it possible to have other cool looking lock screens which display other useful info too ??
With CHT 2, you can actually even personalize your lockscreen.
Plus, there are many themes prepared for you by other users, just browse the theme threads a bit, there are quite a few which include great lockscreens...

thanks....but i have never used CHT before...so a little confused !!
CHT 2.0 is easy to use, yet infinitely customizable. I highly recommend it.
lock screen
well I'm not sure about developers on xda and I'm not sure if i can put links here.
but i just purchased the pocket shield lock screen (way too expensive) but it is really pretty cool, has lots of settings and very customizable. no I'm not working for them.
on a side note I'm not sure if it's the lock screen or something else but since i put it on the phone i have noticed much better battery life.
and you can try before you buy!
i'll post a link please let me know if it's not allowed

I would recommend S2U2. v2.43 is the latest I think and its free. It allows you to disable the Windows lockscreen and replace it with S2U2 (no double unlocking)
Quite customisable and seems to be very stable. Also has notifications for SMS, tasks, missed calls, etc. Shows appointments as well. Many many settings. Reading the CHT thread the one thing that consistently seems to cause trouble is the built-in lockscreen.
Good luck with your choice
With Pocketshield the double-lock issue happens only when CHT installed and CHT lockscreen is enabled, but there is a workaround for that http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?2,10361,10509#msg-10509
But if you use no CHT there is nothing to worry about.

is pocketshield better or CHT lock screens ?any comparisons ?
pocket shield
in my humble opinion pocket shield is way better than cht. plus for some reason when i get a new msg if sms is running in the background touch-pal always pops up lock or not, but with pocket shield none of that plus it displays the text, voice mail calls {with pics i think} appointments.....and all that
the only real problem i find annoying about is that for some reason it constantly changes the internal text settings to "display msg" when received i hate that so when I'm done setting up pocket shield i have to disable that again but it does not affect how pocket shield works.
like i said it is heads and toes above stock, and cht and s2u.....but the cost is way too much it should be no more than 3-5 and they would make a greater impact in sales.

Hi
My mother's S7 phone on stock Android 8, Samsung Experience v9.0 is missing this option and she finds her ihome screen cons are constantly moving or disappearing, presumably because she is long pressing the icons by mistake and then swiping them.
Is there an app (or less preferably ROM) which provides this functionality? All the ones on Play just lock the screen and not the icons.
I asked on the Samsung forum and someone just said to upgrade the phone - doh!
Is there a way to use a different home screen UI is the Samsung one is not modifiable by apps?
It's frustrating that developers are not catering to more senior members who are much more prone to doing this thing. Not everyone has young nimble fingers!
