is there a way to change the move to unlock lockscreen to slide to unlock style?
Only way I've seen (haven't looked much) is Go Launcher with Go lock screen - it has a "slide to unlock" lock theme.
Widgetlocker, you can find it in the market. You can customize your lock screen pretty much any way you want. If you search on xda (I think it is in an android development section) there is a huge thread with Widgetlocker themes you can use to get ideas and different sliders and such.
You can also cook one up in the UOT kitchen

Have you actually done this for the AT&T GS2? Does it work?
Probably, becuase you can upload your own framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. Someone who has actually used the kitchen will have to confirm. The kitchen is worth checking out, but seriously get widgetlocker. The iphone slide to unlock theme is one of the defaults.

I tried and it did not work. Some theming worked (icons and stuff), some did not.
Check out Magic Locker, like widget locker, but free.
https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker
There are themes for Android 4 ring, Sense 3, Samsung puzzle lock, iPhone slide, and many many more.
Or come to the CM7 side of the force. It has built in themes for Ring, slide, rotary, lense, etc.

does widgetlocker drain battery? i read frm otoher places that it does and others that it really doesnt.
Edit: installed widget locker. And ive lost 3% in 30 some minutes. Oh well, time to remove.
I've experienced zero drain issues with widget locker. No wakelocks, no excessive CPU usage etc. I lose just under 1% an hour on idle.
Widgetlocker messed up both my and my gf's phones. I think its that wakelock you referred to? It would be fine and then it would go to sleep and not wake up, we'd have to pull the battery just to get it back. Pretty upsetting because we both liked it.
That isn't a wakelock, that is a sleep of death (SOD). A wakelock is where the phone is forced to stay awake by an app or process even though the screen is off and the phone is supposed to be sleeping. A SOD can be caused by a lot of things depending on the phone and what you've done to it.

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
I really like my Evo 3d but I wish that I could put more shortcuts on the actual lock screen. On my Htc Hero I had a lockscreen that I could put my silent toggle on there (I just can't remember which lockscreen it was). It was like a semi-circle dial and to access the apps, you'd just click on the app or toggle and "dial" and it would either toggle phone to silent, or open the app. I looked at widgetlocker but that seemed too complicated for what I wanted. Any ideas? I can't put any widgets on this lockscreen, only apps. any ideas anyone?
Thank you.
well widgetlocker is the best choice. also check out simplylockscreen. search for lockscreen replacement on the market and find something that might suit your needs.

Been wanting the same. So far the only thing I have seen is in a couple ROMs the ASOP lockscreen, and I believe some have the four slidders to let you unlock, silent, vibrate, straight to sms, however you want them. If your not rooted I know there's a couple different apps that'll let you use a different lockscreen. Not sure how food they are cus I've never used them but I'm ran across them in my searches.
Sent from my double barrel Shooter. BANG!
not sure if its available for you, but miui has a lot of different lockscreen customizations and customizations to the whole interface in general. make sure its compatible with your phone and im pretty sure root is required. before flashing anything make sure it is compatible!
Alternatively, you could search "lockscreen" in the android market. Good luck!
its possible to add the galaxy s2 lockscreen on a 2.3.4 JVP galaxy S with galaxian without cwm?
Well, I'm a huge GO fanboy and GO Locker doesn't disappoint. I love it and I'd thought I'd share considering we have limited lockscreen options. I like the Fourkey Theme.

I noticed in Gallery there's drawable-hdpi (37) with all the image files in there. I suppose you could change #37, which is the background of the widget. I guess in theory you could customize any of those files to customize the locker. It's just a guess though and I haven't attempted to try to change anything though.
I wonder if this will eventually become a full blown WidgetLocker/Executive Assistant type replacement. Can you add widgets to this app? Now that would make this an awesome app!
Anyone else get the bonus feature of not being able to swipe homescreens from left to right every now and then unless you swipe the other direction first?
This would happen to me with GOLauncherEX fairly frequently on my GSII , and I have stopped using it because of that. Now I am back on stock TW4 with no issues.

FWIW, I've never had that happen to me once and I've been running Go Launcher EX on my SGS2 almost since the day I got it.
And I've been using Go Launcher as my go-to launcher app for quite a while now, across quite a few different Android phones.

Try switching to conservative governor. Might fix it.

I always use the conservative gov.
But I did a full wipe and reinstall today, so I'll check it out.
Update to the app today, lets you finally pick the background!
Does this let you put widgets on the home screen?
My biggest use for widgetlocker is to have a pandora widget and volume controls on my unlock screen so I can use it [in my workshop or garage] without needing to unlock every time.
Extract image from GO LOCKER ICS theme background
Hello all,
I recently installed GO LOCKER with an ICS and was wondering if I could use the locker background as the background for my phone as well?
Is there any way to extract the image from somewhere through a file manager?
Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know a way to change the default Samsung lockscreen to a stock ICS look without using a secondary lockscreen app like WidgetLocker or Go Locker?
I have been using WidgetLocker for the past couple of days, and have ran into a couple of problems. First of all, it doesn't play well with Juice Defender, if I disable the stock lockscreen. Juice Defender believes the phone is unlocked and continues to keep data/wifi enabled. If I leave the stock lockscreen enabled, and the "Retain System Keyguard" on, Juice Defender disables data/wifi correctly, but about 25% of the time, I have to unlock the phone twice to get back to my homescreen.
Obviously, replacing the Samsung lockscreen with a stock ICS one would solve all of these problems. I found this over on the S2 forum. Would this work, or does it need a custom ROM to work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538828

Wow, thanks! Going to try this out now.
like a lot of people, i'm not much a fan of the default sense lockscreen -- especially on ICS. just curious what kinda lockscreen replacement apps you guys are using. i've tried out widgetlocker in the past and loved it...just saw simply lockscreen and like the way it looks but read there's a lot of bugs with it.
your thoughts?
I've been using Widget Locker for 6 months now and got no problem whatsoever with it. Maybe you should give it a spin once more

Agreed. Widgetlocker is awesome.
You can always default to ICS AOSP lockscreen built into ANY sense Rom.
Use estrongs or root explorer.
Navigate to system/app
Find htclockscreen.apk
Rename to htclockscreen.apk.bak
Check out your new lock screen.
It's the one with camera and unlock left to right.
No extra services running, simply rename back to have sense lockscreen back. If changes don't happen immediately, a reboot will fix.

I use Go locker. You can download a bunch of themes for it.
Try this lockscreen, it has a totally new concept.
I have been using this for a week now.

I've always wanted a lockscreen that permitte dme to lock and also access the camera, with a pin on the lockscreen. Is there any non-stock that support this function?
