I have a Samsung Galaxy SII and it has the stock lockscreen which looks like this:

Is there a way to change the graphic that the lockscreen uses (can'r seem to find this setting anywhere ) or an app that will give me a cool looking lock screen (the stock one feels a bit 'cheap' IMO).
Thanks guys!
Widget Locker is the answer.

You can e.g. download an image and then I think go to the gallery. There if you look at the picture you will have the options to set the picture as wallpaper background or "lockscreen background".
This really is not intuitive and I spent a while before finding it.
Yeh you need to have images in your gallery and then go to settings/ display/ screen display and there you can change your lockscreen settings.

Hi,
I have just flashed my SGS2 this evening and so far i am loving the look and performance, but i have one problem, when i go into settings / Display / Screen Display / Lock screen / Wallpaper / and then go into Wallpaper Gallery there are only the stock wallpapers there, from what i read on the Lite'ning forum they have added lockscreen wallpapers but i can not figure out how to apply them.
I notice that if you set home wallpaper it gives you the Lite'ning Wallpaper option which contains all the wallpapers but no such option in the lockscreen settings.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
can anyone help me??
ive been searching google for the past 2 hours and cant find the answer....
When setting wallpapers in stock roms you are being asked if you want to use that pic for lockscreen too, don't know if custom roms use that option.
I would recommend "live wallpaper changer" (or something like this) it's a really great app..
I like to have my wallpaper switched randomly every 5 minutes to another of my 500 pics collection.
also you can double tap the backround to change the actual wallpaper.
When i was on stock rom i had to change each wallpaper, it never asked if i wanted to use as lock wallpaper aswell....
It would be easy to change the lockscreen wallpaper if i knew where they were in my phone system, but i cant seem to find them....
Thanks for your replied

oh you can change the lockscreen in the display options, its pretty hidden but you will find it there.
Yea thats in display / screen display / lockscreen
But there are no lite'ning custom wallpapers eather in wallpaper gallery or gallery
I dont understand it lol because if i set home background it gives me a lite'ning wallpaper option and there they are lol

After some more searching i have come across the lite'ning lockscreen wallpaper, it is in the framework-res.apk but i found it on google images and just saved it to my gallery, i am asuming that his wallpaper should be auto applied when flashed to the device but didnt for me :/

Download the litening wallpapers.apk from the official thread..put it on your phones sdcard..download astro file manager and locate the .apk file. I think if you hold the file it will pop up with a menu and somewhere you can explore the .apk. Then just save the pictures you want from it and use them as your lockscreen
you know i must be bleeding blind, i didnt see the wallpaper apk download link.
I cant believe i have been searching all this time and it was infront of my face.
Thanks for all the help.
Glad to be of help

Saving Pictures to lock screen Wallpaper Gallery
Thanks guys - just what I was looking for. I have saved the lightening pics to my photo gallery so I have been able to locate them and load my new lock screen pic - awesome. However, where would I have to save the files so they are visible in my wallpaper gallery, that way I wont have to look at them each time I goto my photos...
Thanks in advance...
That i dont know, you will have to do a search on net or wait for one of the mega xda dev's to reply

Hi, I've tried to download the wallpapers from the thread page but the file is not there, I've tried from the market but installtion always fail, anybody can tell me why?
I've the litening 1.5 installed, nothing else.
I tried widgetlock but it doesn't support table landscape mode. sad.
What is ugly about it? You can change the wallpaper for the lock screen. Samsung is just using the stock honeycomb lockscreen.
You can place any picture you want on the lock screen. Just go into settings/screen/screen display and then change the lock screen wallpaper.
Don't like the time/date font. also I would prefer some extra information like alarm ....
I want to get something like below for my tablet.

+1 That looks awesome. I too was sad when WidgetLocker just didn't pull it off. I love it on my phone. I don't hate the lockscreen, but I'd love to customize it.
I found this ripple lock and it looks quite decent.

WidgetLocker definitely does support the Tab in landscape - I should know, I'm using it.
That's not to say it's without it's issues, there are the standard WidgetLocker niggles but it definitely works.
Hey everyone. I was wondering if there was a method to change the icon set in Touchwiz 4.0 (yes im rooted) to something else other then what they have as stock.
And furthermore, ARE there any icon sets out there? I saw a couple of cool looking screens in the post your screenshot thread, but i'm not sure if that was because they were using some different launcher.
Thanks,

I am also interested in this. I really like touch wiz ui and all the features but i strongly dislike the childlike icons. Is there anyway we can change the icons without changing launchers?
I was wondering if we can have the
HTC Sensation XE Lock screen (with the circle to launch)
on the Samsung Galaxy S ll
The HTC lockscreen is cool. Just get the app Agilelock. It duplicates it perfectly. Only issue i found is right when you install, it pops up a message that you cant read, unless you can read some form of chinese. Hit the right button. The left button will download something.

They probably used a theme (with a custom launcher). I think launcher themes change entire icon sets. Other than that, idk.

Can this be done on the note. I really don't like the one that comes with it. I am using widget locker but I want to lock the phone and I don't like the stock one.
had the same question.
Only way I found was go into Gallery and pick image and set-as then you'll get a lock screen option.
I'm using MIUI locker, the resolution is a little off making the text and objects a little small.
But, i love the ICS style screen with the for unlock options.
Go Locker is good too.
I will def fix that issue .. if I can ever put my hand on the note
Widget locker costs a few bucks but is really customizable as well.

Hi,
It is more app development question, but as I mostly reader and don't post a lot - I have no access to dev forums yet.
I have my own wallpaper app (Awesome Nature Wallpapers) and noticed that it can't set wallpaper for lock screen when it runs on SGS3. When I test it on different phones (my old SGS1, GT7.7, Motorola Defy+, some Huawei phone and emulator) it is working fine - lock screen is transparent and wallpaper is visible, but not on SGS3.
Does anybody now how to change SGS3 lock screen background programmatically (I mean not from settings)?
Thanks in advance!

Need to use the stock gallery. QuickPic can do it as well but you still need to crop the photo using the Gallery's editor otherwise it won't work. Another option is to download a really old app called Wallpaper Set & Save. Works really well.

Sorry, I probably didn't explain properly - I'm not looking for another app to do it. I'm looking for a way to do it from my own app which I'm developing. Standard Android methods of changing wallpaper don't work for S3 lock screen background...
