Integrating alternate lockscreen to android firmware? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Most android firmwares for older phones comes with the slider lockscreen and ive had a few request to change that but idk how or if there is a way?
Is it possible to replace the slider lockscreen with the rotary lockscreen or "iwindow"?

You could download a lockscreen of your choice from the market and set it as your default lockscreen.

Not what i mean. I mean integrate one into the android framework. Im deving up a firmware for an old phone.

WidgetLocker help!

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!

[Q] Lockscreen text modification

Im sporting a June 5th Com Rom 2.0 setup with ec01 modem, LauncherPro and some other various tweaks. Everything is working flawlessly, however Id like the ability to change the size ( if not also the placement and font) of the lockscreen clock on the rotary lock.
I cant find any information on tweaking the clock font other than changing the overall system font, but its the size of it that is of most concern. Is there a tool or can an option be added to TSM Parts - lockscreen setting to manipulate the font size ?
I also liked the simplicity of the VA Green style rotary lockscreen; is it possible to pluck that out of the theme without doing damage to the current setup? If i apply the whole theme, I revert and lose apps like TSM, etc.
Thanks in advance
PS - whats with the horizontal band on the lockscreen underneath the time ? anyway to remove ?
BTW, I tried WidgetLocker but due to corporate security requiring a PIN, I cant disable\override the standard lockscreen. ( which is ironic because corproate security policy hasnt locked phone correctly since Eclair)

ICS lockscreen for stock roms & Default ICS lockscreen behavior

Hi!
On galaxy s2 it was possible to replace the Samsung lockscreen for an ICS lockscreen / AOSP lockscreen on samsung based roms.
I really want this behavior because some programs that use the android 4.X functionality use their additions to the lockscreen (also support by HTC sense).
im talking about programs like tune-in radio and ZPlayer that have an additional element on the lockscreen (album art & player controls) when playing.
is this somehow possible in samsung roms? is it possible to somehow replace the lockscreen? thanx!
This rom has it, I don't know how so you have to ask him

native lockscreen replacement?

I'm just wondering if there is a way to replace the default lockscreen on a phone with one from the market or elsewhere (like the aosp lockscreen)
I've tried to find a diferent lockscreen for my captivate glide but all the ones I tried in the market have issues where they don't time out quickly enough (30seconds) or the don't fully suppress the native lockscreen.
Just wondering if someone smarter than could help me out.
I'm tired of being stuck with the touchwiz lockscreen.
Even if it just goes back to the stock android lockscreen I would be happy.

How to get back 5.0.2 lockscreen clock widgets?

Recently I updated my Z2 to Android 5.1.1 and found the old lockscreen clock widgets on 5.0.2 with bold hours and thin minutes had gone. I don't know if this is a bug or an intentional change, but I prefer the old lockscreen clock widgets. So how can I get them back? I don't have a computer with me right now so if there is any APK I have to replace please upload here. Thx.
What is it location in system/app?
I don't know either...
Which APK is the lockscreen clock widgets?
