I am using the Virus ROm but I se so many differnet Lockscreens with so many different configurations. How is this done? Only through the ROM or another program?
As far as I know unless you use a 3rd party app like widget locker the only lock screens available are the sense and aosp lockscreen. To use the aosp you would have to use root explorer or any other file manager and go to system>app and rename htclockscreen.apk to htclockscreen.apk.bak and reboot. Hope that helps.
So widget locker replaces or just overlays the Lockscreen?

Hi guys,I recently tried one version of widget locker but with no good results,for example,when I unlock the screen it is covered by "grey rectangles" until I move the page. Is there any solution for that?
I also have a problem with widget locker. When i set it, it doesnt replace my lockscreen.
I have the wildfire with stock 2.2
I have to use the stock lockscreen to get to widget locker lockscreen...
I think the problem is in sense rom. I use rom without sense, and widgetlocker work great.
The "grey rectangles" are the "HTC Weather Animations", you can turn them off in Settings (if your weather is rainy, then you see rain drops & a windshield wiper). I agree they are a pain! Without them WL works great on my WF (not rooted, stock 2.2 ROM)
Thanks,but how can I download other kind of lockscreens?In the thread of themes there are lots of particular lockscreens that I didn't find in widgetLocker,are they using a custom theme with modified lockscreens or do they take those from any site?
You make your own lockscreen with whatever widgets you like - same as a Home screen.
You get a choice of several unlock slider styles, or you can put 'Unlock' on a custom slider. Then you make up the screen with Widgets & Sliders as you like. Only limitation I have found is that you can't put any of the HTC Sense Widgets on the lockscreen

Use adb to pull the app from the phone, replace the original .png's with the ones from the thread, or make your own, and replace then back into the apk, then push it back into your phone.
UNINSTALL it first before you push it.
Ok,got it,but need I to root the phone to run adb?I'm asking 'cause I've original froyo and I can't root my WF!
I'm cooking my first ROM, based on GingerScape 001 and using QQ Launcher as default. The QQ Launcher lockscreen is still in beta, but it's (for me) the best looking and more responsive lockscreen around, but it's embeded on the launcher.
My problem is, even when i turn QQ Launcher lockscreen on, sometimes the default Android lockscreen shows up too, so i have to unlock my phone two times.
There is any way i can delete de Android's default lockscreen?! Or maybe extract QQ lockscreen from the launcher and use it as a standalone app?!
I was wondering if replacing neutrino 2.7 launcher (which is go launcher) was as easy as removing the system launcher.apk and putting another launcher renamed to that.
I wanted to try this as a default launcher:

EDIT: I was also wondering, if someone knew how to change the default lock screen as well, or how to change the theme all together, since my launcherpro wasn't working to change the theme for some reason (after flashing the theme changer enabler)
Just download another launcher, install it, and select to use it as default.
Get Widgetlocker from the market to change lockscreen.
I am using another lockscreen app,but sometimes the original locker would come out.This has confused me so long.
I was wondering how to disable the original Sony style screen locker.
Won't you teach me?
(Ps:The SystemUI.apk with this function could not be used in the Achotjan ROM.Reason?)

Because using alternate lockscreen is just like add another surface on instead replacing original locker, which is strongly bind to phone OS. Most reliable method to get rid original lockscreen is replace/method new ROM for lockscreen, and framework support.
Ps answer: framework and ROM files' support.

Anyway to change or edit not using a third party lock screen app? With root access.

Actually this is pretty simple. With the lockscreen up just slide the clock to the right. A new screen with a big plus sign should appear that you should press. You'll have to use whatever method you normally use to unlock your screen at this point. Add whatever widget you want. Delete the circle clock (just drag it up to the trashcan), and then slide the widget you really want over. QED.
There are some 3rd party apps in the Play Store that will change your lockscreen (Like Go Locker, iOS7 Lockscreen, Widget Locker, Android L LockScreen etc). You generally have to disable your lockscreen by selecting "None" from the Select screen lock setting found in Settings>Lockscreen
I personally don't like these as they have to constantly have to run in the background but they are there
Henri made a great suggestion though, stock Android allows you to customize the lockscreen a lot now by adding widgets and whatnot
