I'm curious if there's any way. I'm on AT&T network but not an AT&T sim, so my network name comes up as "HOME" on the lock screen. Any way to change this to something of my choosing? Has anyone figured out a way yet on ATT's GSII?

Hi there,
I was wondering If anyone out there knows of an apps to locks the phone. Im new on this and what I'm looking for is something to replace the unlock swipe screen that came with the phone. I want something like a numeric keypad as a lock / unlock application.
Samsung Vibrant
thanks
Do you want a different option for a pattern lock?
I searched and didn't find anything. My brother has a numeric lock for his Nexus, but that's a CM feature.
I don't think they're out yet. If you find one in the market chances they won't work because of TouchWiz and you would have to be rooted.
Thanks for your quick response to my question.I am kind of new on this and yes what I want is a numeric keypad instead of a pattern.
once again thank you !!

hello
i checked out widgetlocker and other lockscreen apps.
but the always juwt add another layer rather than modify the actual security screens.
i use the pin method to protect my phone.
and i do not want to first have to swipe away a screen to get to it.
but i would like to place a thing or two on the pin lock screen.
e.g. contact information in case the phone is lost or the ability to directly call someone without unlocking the phone.
(e.g. rather than just being able to call emergency numbers i would add a "call emergency contact" feature)
i was wondering if anybody could tell me which file contains the necessary pin screen layout information, i.e. which file would need to be modified to achieve this?
hope someone can help me out
or does someone know how to activate emergency contacts on the lock screen?

Well, you can put your contact under the "Owner Info", and it will show up on the PIN unlock screen (I use PIN lock myself). But as for having an actual shortcut/button to call a number, I have no idea...
already set the owner info, but that's not quite the same.
especially as it does not appear when you are charging or when the sim lock is shown.
i know that "ice_isenabled" should show the extra "group" and then show an additional button on the homescreen.
but it doesn't seem to work on my samsung.
motorola owners seem to be able to activate it...

Hmm... I do have the "ICE - Emergency Contacts" group, and I have some people in that group, but I didn't know it's supposed to enable an extra button/shortcut. I just checked, and it doesn't seem to work for me either...

Could it be something specific to a Moto custom UI (MotoBlur, or whatever it's called)?
which firmware are you using?
maybe you can see the group and add members but "ice_isenabled" isn't set yet?
Hi everyone! I was wondering if there is any way to hide your original Home screen according to the password (PIN or Pattern).
For example: your main PIN-password to unlock your phone is "1234". When you put the "1234" password it unlocks your phone and shows you the main Home Screen of your phone.
But if in the Lock Screen you put another PIN (let's say it would be "5678"), your phone will also be unlocked but it shows you a completely different Home Screen.
That would VEEERY useful for people who have kids or wife also using their phone. These people could simply tell their Phone Password to their wives and kids without being afraid of having them seeing any "improper" content.
Does anybody knows if this existis?
Peace!
I am trying to figure out a way that, using either a passcode or a pattern, one could enter one passcode to unlock normally and get to their home screen, while another "correct" pattern would take them to maybe an alternate, stripped down home screen, or a home screen with an alternate background and potentially icons. Any ideas? Thanks!
Nobody has any ideas here, huh?
