me too
but try this

I use dynamicnotifications from the play store. It has a option to use the home screen wallpaper as the lockscreen wallpaper. So just set a live wallpaper on your home screen and it will show up on the lockscreen also. FYI only the paid version allows you to use that option. It cost me 1.99usd

Nice !!!
If you don't mind me asking, what home luncher are you using?
That's the default Arc home launcher, with what looks like custom icons..

Hi,
Looks good !
What's the widget on the first screen that shows the system's temperature, ram etc..
Thanks !
I thought so too but wasn't sure.
Do you know if I have to reflash or something like that to make custom icons for the stock luncher?
I'm a complete noob when it comes to something like this.

BUMP on the question regarding the widget on the left screen showing the phone data!
The widget on the left screen is called "System info widget". It´s in the Market for a small cost.
The launcher is arc-original, and I use Desktop Visualizer to change the icons.
Thanks for the info, what are you using to take screenshots?
Thanks!

It's not mine lockscreen . It's not the default theme, if you isntall it it will look like the 2.2 lockscreen. But you can theme it very easily and even put own widgets on it.
I'm using it on my Nexus and sometims, when i unlock, is see the original locksreen for that i use a app called no lock

I assume you're using a different launcher instead of touchwiz. If you still have touchwiz on there run that instead and use the wallpaper selector from there which allows you to change the locks creen wallpaper.

[theme] unique homescreen

Greetings!
Tired of the same layout of your home screens? want to try something new?
Well, I present to you my modified home screen - VECTOR UI
All that you need in one homescreen! PLUS a unique combination of widgets and arts!
AVAILABLE IN WHITE AND BLACK VERSIONS
Well, I initially made it for my Xperia Acros S but the ofcourse, I made one for you all to share it!
Tell me if you want to try it and I'll post a tutorial how to do it im just sharing..
The pebble inside the circle serves as the icon, once tapped, it'll open the app as named and
ofcourse, once social networking site's name was tapped, it will open as well
​
TUTORIAL
TUTORIAL:
You need to be very patient in doing this one.. but it worth it!
=====
• REQUIRED APPS:
Nova Launcher/Prime – recommended for swipe down to see status bar
Desktop Visualizer
Zooper Widgets
Eye in the Sky widgets
UCCW
Multipicture Live Wallpaper
and a bit patience
If you prefer BLACK : Download the base image from:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gbrdcjow96x8vz5/amTEerYVBI#f:BlackFinal copy1.jpg
if your prefer WHITE ownload the base image from:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gbrdcjow96x8vz5/amTEerYVBI#f:WhiteFinal copy.jpg
UCCW Battery:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gbrdcjow96x8vz5/tywsIacwNv/bat.uzip
Put it in your SD Card.
=====
APPLICATION SET-UP/SETTINGS:
NOVA LAUNCHER:
• 12×12 desktop grid
• Hide status bar
• Hide dock/disable
• Gesture down for status bar (optional prime)
• App label = disable/do not show
————-
Multipicture Live Wallpaper (MPLW)
Menu bar/tap and hold desktop – wall paper – live wall paper.
• Make sure the common settings – Crop/Resize Ratio is FIT TO FULL SCREEN
• Screen 1 settings – picture source – select the file (white or black depends to ur phone)
APPLY WALL PAPER.
———-
EYE IN THE SKY WIDGETS
• Select the forecast and customize your desire color.
I prefer teal since it matches the font color for text/calls/mail
• It will display the icons of clouds etc… so i made it thinner to hide the clouds
—————-
UCCW – battery/sms/call/mail count
• Download from https://www.dropbox.com/s/hsxcsiycw5mwhj1/bat.uzip
• Copy to /sdcard/UltimateCustomClockWidget folder
• I assume you know how to use it and import as file the uzip file… resize to match/aline with text/calls/Mail
(ask me if you do not know how to use UCCW.. search first)
————————-
DESKTOP VISUALIZER
• Basically, the marbles inside will serve as the app icon.. so we need blank PNG.
download at https://www.dropbox.com/s/gzmnntu3ewb5x75/Copy of blank.png
• Always select 1×1 DeskVis widget and just resize it to fit the icons.
just set up the widgets(do not configure yet to avoid confusion) see image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8exa8nzsqewttre/tutDV.png
• after polotting, then configure each one, icons will be the BLANK PNG and select the app to launch
• select NONE for the touch effect
• Clear label text/name
• Vibration, select on or system/haptic
do that for all of the DV set ups and lastly..
tap and hold on anywhere (not with the widgets) Nova actions, select APP Drawer.
just fit it near the APP marble and for the icon, select blank as well.
Go to nova settings again and lock desktop to avoid moving invisible DV widgets.
I almost forgot, for zooper widget.. just select the default from the list and modify the location/colors if you want too… recommended to select 5×1 above size.
DONE…
thanks and enjoy.. comment for any help.

Great question... tap the UCCW for the battery and select the gmail at focus./ (center button - default was background, so select gmail) then swipe right until you see a button named "account" .. then select your gmail account to display
hope that helps.

yeah.. TIP: you can add another set of screen on MPLW and select the other color variant... so you'll have both black and whiite by swiping left ryt
It looks awesome, but I've already wasted so much of my time on making UI tweaks only to lose them when I switch ROMs.
Is there anyway to backup the homescreen settings, so when you flash a new ROM homescreen settings can be restored?
I tried many diff backups and nothing has worked. All I get is blank boxes where the icons were.
Thanks!
@emompong You could use Buzz Launcher to share your homescreen though?
wow looks really awesome!! gonna try ASAP!!

Cannot use home screen wallpaper as lockscreen?

Hello,
I noticed on the G3 you cannot set the lick screen wallpaper to be the same as the home screen.
On the other android phones I have had you can set this option, which allows your live wallpaper to be used as your lock screen.
Am I just not finding the setting?

Go to Settings >> Display >> Home Screen >> Wallpaper, and set your wallpaper using the "Gallery" app (first in the list on my G3). When you click OK you should get a pop-up confirmation dialog with a checkbox "Set on Lock screen". That'll set them both the same.

Yea that is for setting a static image. I am referring to the feature that seems to exist in all phones but this one, where you can set a live wallpaper as your home screen and then have the lock screen be that same live wallpaper.

No worries! It is a pretty neat feature. I use Muzei live wallpaper with the reddit plugin. It shows a new background from the sub reddit earthporn (beautiful landscapes and locations) every 60 minutes.

I always wanted to have a live wallpaper of the Earth based on my current location...or from orbit with a choice of orbital speed.
I have a feeling this might be related - but I also noticed that when you're setting a lockscreen wallpaper, it doesn't bring up any of the icon packs as options to pull a wallpaper from, like other phones do, and like it does when you set a homescreen wallpaper. Odd...

By using gestures with any 3rd party launcher, swiping up (without holding) goes to recent apps for me. It's not happening to you?
