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.

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
Where can I find aosp lockscreen? I dont like widget locker and deleting the sense lock screen looks like a mess. Is there a way to just flash an aosp one? Thanks!

Android AOSP's lock screen is transparent. i believe there are applications out there that will allow one to change the lock screen image even if on AOSP style ROMS.
might want to look into this http://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker

Good to know! I was just hoping for something like the nexus one/g2 etc lockscreen, just like that one in that thread but not see through lol. Is there anyway to pull the lock screen from cm6 or cm7 and make it a flashable zip to use on my phone if that makes sense? ha sorry for any confusion, like on my vibrant I could change the lockscreen to all these different ones but Im having touble finding any options with MT4G

I am not familiar with scripting so i do not know if that is possible. I know the link i posted ealier is simple way to get a AOSP lock screen. if that is what you are wanting. and it contains a flash-able Sense Lock screen.
That method is weird. You can see the icon instead of just you're wallpaper. Someone could probably pull the apk apart and set a wallpaper in it, but im not sure.

"Pulling" the Lockscreen.apk out of CM6/CM7 would be the same as deleting the HTCLockscreen.apk on a Sense-based ROM. the CM6/7 Lockscreen is a version of the AOSP Lockscreen, deleting HTCLockscreen.apk forces the OS to revert to the AOSP Lockscreen.
Option 94, you talking about the screen caps of Widget Locker? id ya are your not seeing them through the lockscreen, they are on the lock screen.
On my phone running 2.3 the lockscreen shows whatever wallpaper I normally have including live wallpapers. However, it looks like in 3.1 you need to choose a separate wallpaper for the lockscreen and it won't let me choose a live wallpaper. Does anyone know a work around for this?
I don't know it, but it would be nice to have!
+1 would like to know too!

Bah I was trying to figure this out myself!
Someone please figure this out
Even with 3.0 on the tab you got the live wallpaper on the lockscreen. The 3.1 update brought with it the (for lack of a better term) "dead wallpaper lockscreen".
All I can figure is that this must be their way of goading us into making custom roms...

Yes, while using the Desktop Dock in clock mode you get the currently selected Live Wallpaper. Can't find a way to get this on the lockscreen though. Perhaps 3.2???
My Xoom on 3.1 had live wall lockscreen so it can't be a 3.1 issue. While it's nice to have the option of separate walls, it would also be nice to have the option to have the same live wall across the entire device....you listening sammy?

Any update on this?
WidgetLocker doesnt look right on the tablet...
When I flashed the pda md5 in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119492) it worked perfect. Then I flashed Bonsai and it went back to no live wallpaper...
Got to be an easier way?
Also running Bonsai. It's annoying as it seems like the 'dead' wallpaper which is setup in the default settings actually overwrites the live wallpaper being displayed under the lock screen. The live wallpaper is there, just covered up.
Example: using Multi Picture Live Wallpaper, set the lock screen wallpaper to some distinct image, and the desktop to another image. The lock screen wallpaper will default to whatever is selected in the tablet settings. When you unlock, you should see a flash of the selected lock screen 'live' wallpaper which is displayed 'under' the dead wallpaper...
I played with settings in Multi Picture, but it doesn't seem to be able to override this.
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 all. Loving the S4, although I have no idea how to change the lock screen wallpaper. I have changed my launcher to Nova and got a nice setup with that launcher and my 'desktop' wallpaper, but I cannot figure out how to change it on the lock screen. Help!

Nice, Nova launcher here too.
Just go to Settings>MyDevice>Display>Wallpaper>Lockscreen.
The wallpaper selection tool is a tad different than the one for Nova launcher though.
Hope this helps!

I know it is two months later but thanks for this. This was driving me crazy (and I really don't know why Nova makes it so difficult to make that change). Much appreciated!

Use home switch, launch touchwiz, with that you change the lockscreen wallpaper then switch back to nova
You could always just go to the picture you want in your gallery and hit menu > set as > lock screen. Done.
