Basically i am looking for a lockscreen that has a moveable unlock. Not a slider. A couple examples: If anyone is familiar with palmOS. Their locksreen you have to move the lock outside of a semi-circle. Or something like you can grab the lock and slide it all over the screen but it wont unlock til you get it in the box.
I tried looking through the widgetlocker theme thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968613
but all i find are sliders. anyone have any links or any ideas where i can get one.
There is a honeycomb lockscreen similar to what you are looking for. Check the xda news it was in there recently.

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!
Hi,
everybody knows about the bug that prevents the restoration of the original lock screen wallpaper. I fiddled around with my lock screen wallpapers, and now decided on a live wallpaper for my home screen which i also want on my lock screen.
Unfortunately, I have yet to find a way to do that. On my gf's nexus s, it is quite simple: just select the live wallpaper and it is set as your lock screen wallpaper too.
Anybody know how to do this on a sgs2?
Well at the moment you have to change your lockscreen.
You can get one from the market, widgetlocker or something.
personally i like to keep as little running as possible so just use the stock lockscreen.
If we could enable transparency on the lockscreen wallpaper
that would work but right now it just comes out black.
Im sure a good dev would be able to do that though.
I see a few Honeycomb themes for the GS2 but im just looking for the lockscreen, does anyone know if one is available for the GS2?
Thanks
Hallo, check this one: Ripple Lock on Market (I can't post URL's).
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).
I've searched around and haven't found anything, so I've come here.
Does anyone know of any possible way to have multiple widgets on a lockscreen?
Keep in mind im on a normal lock screen. No pattern, code etc, and I would just like to be able to have more then one widget on a lock screen at a time.
Thank you,

You can only have one widget per lockscreen at a time. you can have multiple lockscreen pages but all with only one widget. If you need multiple widgets on one lockscreen page then try widget locker.
