hi
can i choose one wallpaper as lockscreen default wallpaper???
my regards
Good question,i'm confusing on it too...
we can change the lockscreen wallpaper by widgetlocker app
yes but we need it on orginally framework not in a app widgetlocker isnt an originally lockscreen its only a app which is making it as a lockscreen :/
My brother's phone (GT-S5570) has this option in which he can set different wallpaper for lockscreen and homescreen with inbuilt feature. here is a screenshot. My phone (GT-i5801) doesnt have this feature either.
EDIT: Well, I'm not sure if its because of additional app that he installed, but he said it was there from before.

Is there any way to force a landscape lockscreen?
Use an aftermarket lock screen. I don't think u are able tp natively. I use ripple lock. Hc lock screen. And works both ways

Currently using widget locker, however I miss the honeycomb ring unlocker from the stock lockscreen. Looking for something like that. I checked out that ripple lock...app looks suspicious so I deleted it.
Yeah I'll second widgetlocker. You can set the orientation to landscape.
Oh and there is a honeycomb "style" theme for it as well.
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 there. I have a galaxy s3 since a mounth or two and i have a contact that i call 20 or 25 time per day.
I want to know if there is a HACK or a MOD to integrate a direct call shortcut to the original lockscreen of the S3.
Thanks
I'm not sure about a hack/mod for the stock lock screen - someone else will hopefully clue you in about that.
Failing that though you could replace the stock lock screen with Widgetlocker which will allow you to add custom shortcuts and widgets (such as a direct dial widget for instance) to the lock screen.

Thanks for your reply. Hope in next Version Samsung will include this option in the stock ROM

I know this is old topic but Samsung did no changes to solve the problem. I wanted to keep original lock screen and be able to launch shortcuts from it, so I wrote an app for it. Application can be mapped with any shortcut, so when you press app icon it works like pressing shortcut icon. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change app icons, so I put launcher icons with different numbers on it.
Application is called Shortcut Launcher. You can download it from Google Play.
And if you don't want to install stuff, you could just add a call contact widget on the homescreen, you would still have to unlock it but it's some steps quicker
You can also use the ROM SlimBean, it has the option to add widgets to the lockscreen
I have been searching around for a way to automatically change the lockscreen wallpaper. I have Samsung Galaxy S4. It has a lockscreen wallpaper called "travel wallpaper" which does this but has major limitations (can't select the images myself, uses mobile data). I ahve tried other wallpaper changer apps / live wallpapers, but they only change the homescreen wallpaper not the lockscreen.
I do have WidgetLocker and added some widget that did the trick... but I am trying to go back to the stock lockscreen since WidgetLocker hasn't been reliable for me (it only works sometimes, others the stock lockscreen shows up. Also WidgetLocker doesn't have media controls.

what was the widget?
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
