Eclair Lockscreen 2.1

I did a search couldn't find anything on this if there is something please feel free to point me in the right direction and call me an idoit. Because we have the leaked 2.1 shouldn't we be able to access the elcair lock screen? If so how do we change it? Also I went to the Verizon store the other day they made me wait on a waiting list played with their Droid Eris and I it had the eclair lock screen and a bunch of 2.1 features I was stupid and didn't check the about phone because I didn't realize till I got home but maybe since the Droid is getting their update starting tomorrow (google news search it) we are right around the corner or on the same page with them. I dont like lockbot if that is what your going to suggest lol. Thanks guys!

Not yet, and because the app isn't transparent.
Moved as not Android Development.
When I access my lock screen and push "Menu" it automatically takes me to my Home screen. Super annoying. Does anyone know how to disable this?
The Marketplace App Lockbot will change the lock screen to look like the Flan, Eclair, or iPhone lock screen. If you just want an Eclair one, the free version of Lockbot should be ok (the paid version has Flan).
Hope this helps.

Android 2.1 & Timescape as home by default

I have finally updated to Android 2.1 but i cannot find the option under Timescape that sets it as default for home. In 1.6 there was an option to do that which changed the home screen to integrate Timescape with the desktop. Does anyone know how to enable this feature in 2.1?
They removed it in 2.1, i think becouse the Performance it was a bit laggy sometimes.

[Q] WidgetLocker.

I bought WidgetLocker, I enabled it, but when I lock/unlock, it first displays my normal lockscreen, and then 1 second later it displays WidgetLocker.
Did I do something wrong, or do I need to remove my default lockscreen?
This problem only happens in sense roms, you can try an app called no lock. On aosp roms widget locker works perfectly.
Oh and to change theme all you have to do is play around with your framework-res...

Weird because I'm on cm7.
Ill try what you said though, thanks.
did you enable the 5 second root bypass rule in widget locker?
Nope didn't try that since I didn't know what that was.
Ill try to do it, thanks.
Thanks works now.
Any way to get more sliders?
Pull the apk from your phone, and mod the sliders yourself, uninstall and reinstall widgetlocker.
Heaps of mods here if you're lazy.

Try Lockbot Pro...it has so many in-built sliders to try from...one looking like iPhone, Froyo or Eclair style..it almost does the same functionality as does WidgetLocker , save some customisation

A New Lock Screen

Download widget locker from market it has a variety of lockscreens and extras.
Mod the lockscreen without root? Nah... you root access to replace system files.

if you are not rooted, most probably you will see two lockscreens.
anyway, lockscreen alternatives are; widgetlocker, lockbot, lockit etc......
Does anyone know how to replace the standard lockscreen on a rooted stock 2.2?
I have Widget Locker but now and again the original screen pops up and it can be a bit of a pain sometimes.
Thanks.

in my opinion, the reason you see 2 lockscreens is because of android system 5 second rule. any lockscreen other than stock one, will have to wait 5 to initialize. however, in widget locker you can bypass this rule. turn on home helper option in behaviour, and make sure 5 sec bypass is checked. if it is unchecked, check it.
hope it will help.

This is an issue with htc sense roms. on aosp roms like cm6 or cm7, the original lock never shows up with the 5 second root bypass rule activated.
Try Lockbot Pro..it has a variety of Lock screens to choose from like Eclair style, iPhone, Froyo etc....it shows up only one lock screen though..and you ve an option to unlock the screen using any hardware button not just power button, nifty feature
For not visualizer 2 lockscreen you must use no lock

Dell Streak Launcher from 1.6 anywhere?

I loved the Dell Streak Launcher from Android 1.6 ... With the 3 tabs on top in the taskbar...
Is it possible to port this somehow? I really like it and have never seen something similar again.
And no, I don't wanna go back to 1.6 !
Thx.
It's not possible that I'm aware of. Because if the launcher actually could be installed as a stand alone apk, you would still not have the multiple tabs in the notification bar, since those are built into the framework apart from a launcher.
