I have already removed the sprint branding and think about adding my own banner. I changed the color of the sliders. I'm wondering what else can be done to customize the lockscreen even further.
I would like to add a custom background that is different then the launcher.
I would like to center the text instead off having the text aligned to the left.
What else can be done to the vanilla lock screen

I would like to make two changes to my lockscreen.
First I would like to make it transparent. I am running nonsensikal. It has a vanilla looking lockscreen, however unlike true vanilla it isn't actually transparent. It just has your home wallpaper as a background.
I am also interested in removing all text from the lockscreen. I am aware of how to change the carrier string in the eri file, but I can't figure out how to remove the date and clock.

I thought when a lockscreen is transparent, it should show the home wallpaper, since that's what's "behind" it?
Anyway, this might not be what you're looking for, or maybe overkill but easier to do what you want perhaps. I use WidgetLocker (paid). There's a trial version.
I absolutely love the ripple effect unlock on the S3 - But I kinda hate the lockscreen itself (bad quality image for the wallpaper, ugly clock, non-customized icons for shortcuts, etc...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could either customize the S3 lockscreen and use my own clock widgets and/or icons OR somehow get the ripple effect unlock over to my WidgetLocker screen...?
I'd probably just prefer to use the ripple unlock in WidgetLocker.

Not sure on this, widgetlocker is great, but I find it causes wakelocks which isn't helpful. I just wish there was a way to what shortcuts show on the stock lockscreen, and wish it showed todays calendar appointments. That would make it pretty close to perfect without dealing with widgetlockers battery drain issue.
Fwiw, I notice that widget locker constantly asks for your location in the permissions log... Not widget related as I had nothing on the screen just a slider. Guessing that is what causes the wakelock'ing

You can change what shortcuts on lockscreen. Settings. Security. Lock screen options. Short cuts

Awesome, thanks for that.... Now if we could only get Calendar appointments to display, maybe a dev will work it out. Although probably just use the AOKP / CM lockscreen if that's the case when the time comes.
Install water drops plus from the play store and choose whichever wallpaper you like to put under the water and you can use it with widget locker.. Maybe add a transparent slider for now also... That's the best thing I can think of

Disable automatic drops in settings so it only ripples on touch unless yu like it automatic.. Just play around with it..

Heh i sent the author of WidgetLocker an email the other day talking about this very thing....
I not only like the ripple effect but the slider itself being able to be used from ANYWHERE on the screen is nice.
Usually WidgetLocker is very good about adding features and fixing issues in the past.. the only reason I can see him not being able to do something like this would be due to restrictions with the OS itself.
As for the suggestion on waterdrops.. that's great if you don't already use a LiveWallpaper If you use a Livewallpaper like I do, you cannot have 2 of them running at once (one for the lockscreen and one for the normal phone operation).
Hi guys,
Apparently I'm not allowed to post in the dev forum, so I figured I would ask here. I had to get rid of the JB lockscreen because I just couldn't use it with having to unlock first and then answer the call. I have the Sense lockscreen now, but it doesn't have any of the apps, which I made sure was enabled under Personalize. The other issue I have is that the notification bar is transparent on the lockscreen, but black on the home screen. Not really a big deal, just more cosmetic. Other than that, nijitsu has done a wonderful job with this rom and I can't wait to see what future releases bring.
Thanks,
Steve
Are you using the sense launcher or nova/apex? You need to put your apps in the sense dock to show on the lockscreen.
As far a notification transparency, that's how it's built.
I assume you have it de- sensed? Only the sense Rosie launcher will support the transparent status bar.
Also that it's your problem with the lock screen shortcuts.. it pulls them from your Rosie launcher bar

Ah, I feel like such an idiot now, lol. I installed the Rosie, but I never opened it. After I took Nova off default and went into regular Sense, the lockscreen icons show up now. As far as the transparency, I think I will wait for that UKB specific mod to get updated to 1.21 and give that a try. I used another mod and it messed with using the power button to reboot (phone automatically reboots with no options).
Thanks for the quick replies guys!
widget locker solves this problem
Using in desensed with widget locker and this makes it possable to answer phone with out unlocking first, phone rings and will display the call screen.:good:
So if you are using Sammy rom, you would know that it is not possible to change the icons of the app shortcuts on lock screen. Unless you modify the APK directly to change the icon file. I've been looking for a way to change their icons according to the launcher's theme, etc but haven't been able to.
I know there are the possibility of using different lock screen app/widget but I prefer to use the stock TW lock screen. I'd love to use AOSP lock screen too, but with my DPI mod the AOSP lock screen comes with Simple Framework is simply off the center and cannot change lock screen shortcuts either.
So if anyone out there able to find a way to change these shortcuts, please share!!!
Much appreciated!!
You can change lock screen icons in touch wiz by selecting lock screen options and then shortcuts.

You misunderstood me. What I want is change the lockscreen shortcuts's ICONs, I know how to set which app shortcuts I want on lockscreen...
I've had phones before, mostly Sony devices, that made it easy to enable the stock lock screen by disabling their overlay in system/apps/. I tried that on SnowJB and it does give me the Jellybean lock screen but it has a grey bar at the bottom and the wallpaper is stuck as transparent and just shows whatever I have on the screen. Anyone know a way around this to get the stock AOSP lock screen working? Just curious if I'm missing something. I don't mind the circle unlock but I'd prefer the Jellybean lock screen.
