[Q] Alternative Lock Screen? - Wildfire Themes and Apps

Hi, just wondering if there was a good custom lock screen I could install on my wildfire. I'm using a custom ROM with all the Sense UI junk removed, and I'm sort of getting bored with the "vanilla" lock screen.
I tried Lock Go but it always asks for my default home option when I press the home button. The others I saw are paid apps and I can't pay until they add paypal support, or I get a credit card.
Thanks in advance

Try searching for an app called "GOTO", you might like it..

Looks like a paid app. Can't buy it yet until I get my credit card but also heard that goto Doesn't always work so well.

Download Lock 2.0 and get a skin.
Edit xml file to move "slide to unlock" about 40 pixels up. Works fine

Where do I find the xml file? I'll have to do it later when I have time to connect the phone. I can't find anything in ES Explorer.

You download skins to Lock 2.0 (here) wich is basically a .zip with a couple of files inside.
You need to move <slider_backgrounds> and <slider_texts> upwards so edit:
Code:
<slider_text name="Default" textSize="18" fontFileName="" posX = "100" posY = "110"
textColor="#ffffffff" text="slide to unlock" />
and
<slider_background name="Default" imageFilename="slider_background.png" posY = "384" />
to something like (I dont remember exactly offset)
Code:
<slider_text name="Default" textSize="18" fontFileName="" posX = "100" posY = "70"
textColor="#ffffffff" text="slide to rock!" />
and
<slider_background name="Default" imageFilename="slider_background.png" posY = "344" />
Put skin.xml back to .zip file and choose install skin from Sdcard (You need crappy file manager too..), and you are all set!

Thanks so much! They look really good. maybe some a little too iPhoney, but I managed to get the slider in position with a slick AlienWare theme. I downloaded a bunch so I'll play around with them on the weekend and buy the full app as soon as I can.

Goto never worked properly for me. I always ended up with two lockscreens when I used it. One from Goto, and the stock lock screen.

Im not 100% sure but isnt there a way to make the sense lockscreen to be canceled?

---

I'm using something called screen suite, works great. I've always had problems with other lock apps giving me 2 lock screens. This is the first one that works 100%

---

I'be searched the market for "screen suite" but didn't find anything . Is it a pay only app?

Worked fine! The Lockscreen is easy to enable and disable, only thing that annoys me is if I have the phone in a offmode, (have pushed the powerbutton, to sleep) then if I got an sms or so, it unlocks by itself. I want it to unlock by pressing the powerbutton only, not that it unlocks itself by sms or something.
