I'm currently using CM Locker because the lockscreen on the Z3 is plain boring and looks oversized... I've found that a lot with the stock sony skin everything is just large... even the keyboard
anyway... is there a way to achieve the above? I use Media Utilities which pulls the cover art from many music players to use with custom widgets. Is there a way to incoroporate this with the lockscreen?
Thanks

I would love it if somebody was able to come up with a modified version of the HTC lock screen which provides the same music control functionality already present, plus the same or similar capabilities while streaming Pandora radio (artwork display would be great if possible).
I've quite enjoyed this feature upon installing the latest Uncommon Sense ROM (though still no artwork), but I am not a fan of the stock style lock screen. I've also seen the rotary lock screen with music controls for sense, but a) I'm not sure if that controls Pandora or not, and b) I'm not really a fan of that style either. I prefer my current Incredible rEVOlution theme applied over the HTC lock screen and it would be awesome if I could control Pandora with that as well!
Try Widgetlocker with the Htc sense option, and put the pandora widget on the lockscreen, done!
I tried widget locker before and ended up getting a refund for it. I can't remember why, but I imagine it was probably because either A) my revolution theme didn't carry over since it's not technically an HTC lock screen or B) I didn't like having an app always running just for an alternate lock screen, or maybe it was both.
Whatever the reason, I'm afraid to buy it again because I have the feeling I still won't be satisfied with it. I would love this capability in a nice light, integrated package as opposed to the clunky widget locker workaround method.

After playing with the Sensation and Sense for a couple days now? The ability to run weather on my lockscreen has literally just blown me away. I don't really care about the prettiest app to do it but in your experience? What's the most reliable lockscreen weather app?
Widgetlocker + your favorite Weather widget
I use WidgetLocker and add Fancy Widgets and/or Beautiful Widgets. Love the options available between those.
Thanks for the suggestions. I've been playing with both for the last couple days. Anything else that puts the weather on the lockscreen?
I like GOTO lockscreen. It's visually impressive (though weather is certainly not the focus of it's visuals and is only a small part) and has practical uses like quickly jumping to phone, SMS, gmail, being able to set phone silent or vibrate, and music lockscreen controls (though this only works with stock music players), weather, battery, phone owner's name on lockscreen.

Still not satisfied with all of these choices. Anything else out there?
I use go laucher and go weather, but widget weather of HTC is the one!
is there a way to turn off the animation that comes on after the unlock of a phone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Those look great, thanks!
So I use Pandora a lot during work. I would like to have a lockscreen widget that would allow me to forward/pause so that I don't have to unlock the phone etc.
I saw an app called Widget Locker that seems to be able to add widgets. Are there any other mods or apps??
I was also thinking about rooting and wasn't sure if any Rom's would give me that functionality.
Thanks in advance!!
I'd like the same, but for spotify.

There are a number of lockscreen apps, Widget Locker is the one I used. Just about any of them support widgets.
I've just disabled though because I don't want to install yet another app for email/SMS counts and WL requires one. The problem I find with Android is that the more you try to replace the manufacturer's UI with better stuff, the buggier it gets. I set up Tasker routines to renable Widget Locker when getting out of my car (because you don't want your lockscreen coming on when you turn off the screen in a car dock), and ever since, Google Music doesn't instantly stop playing when I pull the headphone plug. Too much going on, I figure, so I just disabled Widget Locker and so far so good.
A ROM might, depends on the ROM.
The price of all our freedom is...lack of polish and bugginess.
I use Widget Locker with another widget called Media Buttons. Media Buttons will allow you to control any/most music players. So what you got to do is, with your phone unlocked, launch Pandora and once the music starts playing lock the phone. The MB widget on your lock screen will now control Pandora. Follow the same process for other players on your phone.

Here goes, on my quest for the perfect Rom ( in my eyes ) I deleted my xperia t lockscreen app, for the built in stock android one, i.e the one with the ring. using xposed ad gravitybox I have customised this to my choices but am now unable to set a wallpaper to it. all I would like is the ability to set a wallpaper to my desktop and hey presto my lockscreen follows suite, has anyone managed to do this or could advise me. it sounds simple enough and you would think it could be possible with todays phones but obviously isn't.
I really like the look of the stock Music app's visualizer, and I think it would be cool if it appeared systemwide. If this is possible, it would be cool to see it be done
Thanks for reading!
I was thinking the same thing
