can the screen lock be replaced - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

since the fingerprint scanner stopped working, I am wondering...can the screen lock be replaced? I want to have one just like the HTC one (i.e. slide down to unlock)
Many thanks

Well I've seen some app. For a custom lock screen but I has a lot of bugs.
It was called LockBot Free.... Thats the best one that I've tried.

Yes..
WidgetLocker Lockscreen is about $1.00 USD, and it's pretty awesome.
It lets you skin the lock slider, add widgets (ie power control, calendar), change the background, add various sliders for opening email, etc.
I recommend it.

Lock screen issue?

I'm using lockbot pro to change the mytouch standard lock screen to the froyo style lock screen. The problem is that I still have to unlock the standard screen and then it gives me the froyo to unlock. How do I disable the standard screen so I only get the one I want?

Use WidgetLocker Lockscreen. It is the best 2 bucks I have spent in a long time!! I am rooted but you dont have to be to use it. It does help though. My avatar pic is my lockscreen. I run it with no slider and a time delay on a button unlock it. It has lots of options for several types of lockscreens and other stuff also.
If u want the stock froyo lockscreen just go into system/ apply then delete the htclocksreen.apk and it will restore the froyo lockscreen you don't need nolock or anything else

You need to be rooted and s=off to edit/delete/add anything to the system file. If you are temp rooted and/or s=on you cannot use just the AOSP lockscreen.
I use the app: lock suppresor with the lockbot pro app.
works for me

Touch response really sucks after the latest OTA update

Is there ant tweaks ...anything

Im sorry I should have been more clear after awaking the device the 1st and usually the second swipe or touch doesn't register ...it kind of gets annoying

You might try using widgetlocker, though that is a paid app. It allows you to customize your lock sceen with different unlock themes and widgets. I've never had an issue with it registering my unlock after wake.
I found the problem ...fancy widget when enabling weather animation the touch screen lags for a second or two works good now

Honeycomb Lock Screen

If You do not know or has not seen it yet their is a App in the Market that replaces you stock lock screen with a custum Honeycomb lock screen.
Its Called Ripple Lock
I have been trying it for a couple of days now and its ok so far and its FREE
If both lock screens show up just go into ripple lock and stop the app and restart it
Market LINK
I like it but hate the fact that it keeps showing both lock screens. Tried stop and start but still does it.

Yes it is a pain i would say 8/10 times its ok,,,,, The Developers are aware of this so Hopefully they will rectify it.
working a treat here on SD2.0
weird that the paid version isn't compatible with the streak according to the market..
thanks for the heads up mate, trying it out now!
I have not tried this but using No Lock and then using the replacement lockscreen has been posted in other threads as a solution to the double lockscreen problem.

I use no lock with widgetlocker and it works fine, did you open up the no lock app and make sure locking is disabled?

Update I uninstalled both apps. I reinstalled no lock first then verified that it worked. After that installed ripple lock now it works like a charm.

Seems a bug : When on the Lock screen, the Home screen button can be pressed while on the default Lock screen, this can't be done.

The new update has fixed the double lock screen
i love this but i NEED my home button to not unlock the phone
also when a button is pressed to wake the screen, it stays on until u press power. i cant have the phone in my pocket and have a button get pressed and since the screen stays on the home button can easily be pressed too
Do anyone experience a sluggish screen after unlocking the screen after its been asleep for awhile.

[Q] Alternative Lock Screen

So what can I do to replace my lockscreen? I'd like something like WhisperCore which forces me to wipe away my fingerprints in order to unlock so that others can't unlock my phone by looking at the smudges. Is there anything like that out there?
I'll just leave this humongous thread here:

Wow that is a hell of a lot of lockscreens but I'm looking for a specific feature which they all seem to lack. With whispercore (for the nexus) you have a feature called sumdge-resistant screen unlock patterns. So you draw out your pattern as normal but instead of simply unlocking you are brought to another screen with stars all over the screen. You wipe your finger up and down the screen to highlight the stars. Once they are all highlighted your phone unlocks and you've successfully wiped away your the smudges from your pattern. Honestly if I'm not forced to do this then I'll probably forget.

Anyone know of a lockscreen or widget that will allow me to control my Google Music app without having to slide unlock the phone. I see that the photon allows you to do this with the stock music app but not with the Google music app. Much thanks.

Widget locker does that, and more its what I choice to use
has anyone explained yet how to replace the lock screen via root to the aosp rotary one? I am interested in completely replacing the blur lockscreen
Using Widgetlocker and the darn stock Motorola lockscreen keeps popping up from time to time. Anyone know how to disable it or freeze it in TB to keep it from coming up? Very annoying to have 2 lock screens to mess with.

Double lock screens?

Is there any why to turn off the first slide to unlock screen that shows before the one you place your pattern into?
I just want to put in my pattern like I did on my Epic 4g, then have it unlock. Don't see a reason to double lock it...odd.
+1
Was trying to do this also. Even when using Widgetlocker I still get the vanilla lockscreen popping up from time to time. Would like to just use the pattern lock instead.
Definitely a bug. Was this not resolved with the OTA?

Nope. I have the OTA and still have the double lock screens. Pretty annoying...
My wife's evo shift does this too. I think it's a GB issue.

"No Lock" from the market might help, It'll turn off the Stock lock screen only but if you have another lock screen app from the market enabled, it won't disable that one. It's the only "fix" i've found so far.

so to clarify... if you download the "no lock" from the market and you have the pattern lock and the default slide lock (that currently can't be disabled) the "no lock" will remove both the slide and the pattern lock? or just the slide lock?
I still get double lock and silent bug after it's.

My EVO was the sane way so its not a photon issue. Might just be a gingerbread issue.

Not 100 % sure, I disabled the stock lock app and use the sense 3.0 lockscreen that I downloaded from xda. No lock will for sure disable the Stock lockscreen though.

I am currently using No lock to disable the Stock lockscreen so I don't get double lock screens (using widget locker) but I still get the stock lock screen when I boot my phone.
How did you manage to disable it without this app?
