I wanted to change my lockscreen to original froyo lockscreen . I tried widgetlocker.but the 3 seconds time it takes to shift from htc lockscreen to froyo lockscreen is depressing.. is there any other way?
try lockbot pro and use a app called no lock which turns of the sence lockscreen
Plus lockbot pro has 6 different lock screen layouts
Hope this helps

About the widget locker
When I first installed the Widgetlocker I had the same thing - it would show the sense lockscreen and blackout into widgetlocker. I quickly uninstalled it and got my 2 bucks back. However recently I decided to give it another chance and it works great - no delay. Try looking in advanced settings, turn the default lockscreen off or something like that. And remember about the 5 second rule.
There is another issue however. It seems to drain the battery faster (50hours vs 80+). My guess is that the default lockscreen allows a downclock of the CPU and widgetlocker doesn't. I'll try that out again soon, because it's just so awesome.
Thank you for your valuable advice and replies friends

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

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
it seems to me that the there's no way to change the lockscreen bacfround on 2.3?
i use different bacground for every homescreen i have, and it's pretty bad looking whey phone locks itself on the wallpaper, designed for that homescren page.
going crazy here.
anyone?
Try widget locker.

thx dude
very nice
WidgetLocker is pretty good. Just some annoyances: sometimes there's slight delay in showing it, sometimes kills ur launcher so when you unlock you have to wait for launcher to load up again.
So I've been running Eclipse 1.3 for a while and have decided to change the launcher. After trying out a couple, I settled on GOlauncher (awesome launcher, can't recommend it enough) and also GOlocker as I wanted the ICS lockscreen (isn't it purty).
GOlauncher runs great, but GOlocker egg... not so much. If I put the phone to sleep and then wake it up, it should immediately open to the lockscreen (like it did before installing GOlocker) but instead it opens up to the launcher and then ~2 seconds later opens the lockscreen.
Is there a fix for this? Its Annoying, and whilst it isn't really a dealbreaker (I can always just use the original lockscreen) I would really like to be able to change it up once in a while.
The app need about 5 seconds of the screen being off for it to work properly. There's really no way around that. Widget locker does the same.

like a lot of people, i'm not much a fan of the default sense lockscreen -- especially on ICS. just curious what kinda lockscreen replacement apps you guys are using. i've tried out widgetlocker in the past and loved it...just saw simply lockscreen and like the way it looks but read there's a lot of bugs with it.
your thoughts?
I've been using Widget Locker for 6 months now and got no problem whatsoever with it. Maybe you should give it a spin once more

Agreed. Widgetlocker is awesome.
You can always default to ICS AOSP lockscreen built into ANY sense Rom.
Use estrongs or root explorer.
Navigate to system/app
Find htclockscreen.apk
Rename to htclockscreen.apk.bak
Check out your new lock screen.
It's the one with camera and unlock left to right.
No extra services running, simply rename back to have sense lockscreen back. If changes don't happen immediately, a reboot will fix.

I use Go locker. You can download a bunch of themes for it.
Try this lockscreen, it has a totally new concept.
I have been using this for a week now.

Yes
I've always wanted a lockscreen that permitte dme to lock and also access the camera, with a pin on the lockscreen. Is there any non-stock that support this function?
