Well I've been playing with lock screen on RAZR, the default one I think is just... 'pathetic'? I'd like to have a more custom one with more options and stuff.
I've tried WidgetLocker but sadly It won't work right with phone, sometimes takes long to show, buggy, or shows both lock screens + pattern etc... It's an absolutely mess.
I've read that you can flash a custom lock screen in any phone, and since mine is Deoxeded with eternityproject's rom I should be able, but reading documentation I found It says is a dangerous thing to do since you can easily corrupt your android since this feature is deeply installed on it.
So I would ask for help to someone who can help us to give the last custom tweak for it. I am not an expert on Android, but I like to tweak and learn about it since I just started to code stuff for android last year, would like to learn more about It's structure and so on.
Thank you!
Hello,
for disable lock screen, search and install "No Lock" on the market,
it's free and work nice
I use it since my RAZR.... on my Desire HD with CyanogenMod where you can disable it in options
PS : you can also Use my favorite home Launcher who have a custom and changeable Lock screen (for me the best launcher ever !!!
not avairable on market http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=439&t=280617&hilit=360
Important : Don't use this section for questions, it's not alowed
Oh sorry well, this is not only a question but a proposal for developing alternative lock screen.
Well that No lock app might remove it but we find the problem when you get a new lock screen from any app it will take long etc... so only idea I get is replacing it from Android system itself.
Unless you're rooted and flash a custom ROM that has its own custom lock screen. Or if you are rooted then go to droidpirate.com download a lock screen and use metamorph app to install it. Just make sure its compatible for the Razr

Widgetlocker works great for me. make sure root helper is on. Also try go locker and miuilocker.

i am using go locker and in works like a charm, but i will probably convert back to stock, because i am missing this silent activation on go locker...cant find a way to put it on the lockscreen, anybody maybe an idea?
sadly enough for me I can't use a custom lockscreen without the stock lockscreen also showing - due to having Exchange set up on my phone and my work's Exchange server enforcing PIN lock -_-...
IMHO, it's a bad idea to develop a custom lockscreen right now 'cause we'll upgrade to ICS soon...
...and its lockscreen behavior should be different from the GB one.
It would be a good idea starting to develop directly on ICS.

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 just rooted my galaxy 10.1 tab which made a HUGE difference in how smooth and fast it runs. Prior to that I had no root experience at all.
So now I had my atrix a while and spent so much time configuring and tweaking every little thing. I'm quite happy with it as is. So is there any good reason for me to root? I know I could enable tethering that way, which is something I consider. But otherwise why else if things run smooth as is and battery life is fine. How much of this is restorable? Specifically the Go launcher settings and desktop screens, I don't think I'd end up using a different launcher.
FYI here's whats on at any given time.

Go contacts
Go calendar
Go facebook
Go task manager

Just go unlok your boot loader you noob
For reals though, you can install custom Roms, overclocked kernels, etc. once your boot loader is unlocked. And no, unlocking or rooting will not affect any of your widgets or apps or anything, unless you install a deblurred ROM, in which case any Motoblur widgets would be affected... you have no idea what I just said, do you

Well a little. But since my only Root and Rom experience required a full wipe I'm not sure how to do it. Can I just follow a DroidDemos tutorial and root without the wipe. Then at least I can back up and restore exactly how things are. I dont use any blur widgets, but there's a concern that some of the widgets I use are somehow dependent on blur or stuff synced to blur.
Regarding custom ROMS, if I'm just gonna run Go Launcher on top and it runs well now, why bother with that or overclocking?
I'm not trying to talk myself or anyone out of it, just trying to better understand.
I can make a backup of Go Launcher, if that's re-installable in 1 click that'd save ALOT of trouble.

Check out my Noob guide for some info., links, etc....it's at the top of the general section.
As far as why would you want to? Some possible reasons:
- free up ram/space by running a debloated ROM.
- increase speed by not having bloat run in background.
- increase speed by overclocking a custom kernel.
- More customization with a custom ROM.
- CWM/Nandroid backup
Your launcher has nothing to do with a ROM, you can run which ever launcher tou want on top of any ROM.

Appreciate it. I have read some other guides in the past but a personal answer goes a long way.
cm7 is worth it, if your still on froyo (i was as gb not released for my carrier) then even more reason to as some of the gingerbread features are nice. cm7 has so many options that should be there in the first place
I was going to wait for a new cm7 beta but this one has impressed me and have yet to encounter any major bugs
Yeah that seems to be the one. I have gb tho so its not for that. Tether and uninstal some blur apps is main reason.
if you just want to do that and dont want to get in with the custom roms root is very easy to acheive and you would not loose any data or even home screen setups that you have.
Definitally root it but its up to you weather to instal custom roms.
my personal opinion would be to unlock the bootloader and flash away

It sounds like you have a good understanding of what you want from your phone, and it sounds like your current setup meets or exceeds your expectations. You hit the nail on the head imo when you named tethering as a top reason to root, if that is a feature you need (w/o being charged extra for the same data), then yes go ahead and root unlock or both. However, if you really are happy with your current setup/speed/battery, i say keep it!! No reason to fix whats not broken. Dont feel like you have to do these things to your phone just because others are calling you a noob. Have a look at the list of root apps (in my sig) and that might help you know if there is anything you cant live without.
Hello, I'm using Photon 4G with CM7.2, but I don't like the lockscreen in it, and other lockscreens too (Go locker etc.), most of all I loved the stock moto lockscreen. Is it possible to revert to it? Thanks
I'd recommend giving Milocker a try. It basically ports all off MIUI's lock screens to any other phone, and I've seen home created Blur lock screens in there that look pretty damn good.

CM comes with a couple different lock screen options included. Have you changed them in menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings> somewhere in one of the options (sorry, don't run CM so I don't know the exact path )?
Id check out the ones that are already integrated into the rom before installing a 3rd party lockscreen. The installable options aren't terrible but I've experienced consistency issues while testing and some don't play well with security set on the phone.
Regarding if moto lock screen can run on that rom in short, no. The lock screen isn't just an apk that can be pushed, and if it were I could guarantee there would be a dependency on the framework. That's how HTC used to keep people from jacking their lock screen back in the day. Now its all integrated tightly into the framework (or was it systemui now?) so you could design a theme for your lock screen that's moto inspired if you felt like playing with some apks and pngs. The Motorola lock screen isn't a far departure from being a themed stock lock so really there would be no smali work involved. Plug and play images, flash, change some more, flash .... repeat until happy.
I think youll be extremely happy with Widget Locker and CM7 together. Thats the combo i ran on my Evo before i got my Mopho. You can turn off the lock screen in CM7,and just run WL. Seamless!

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

widget locker
Widget locker is a good option, but it doesn't work properly with S3.
Many small issues which make it unusable for me.
1) If you wake your phone withing 5 secs, you'll see an annoying toast notification.
2) It can be easily unlocked using Home button, unlike the stock one.
3) If you have a rooted device, point 2 can be overcome. However then if you are in home screen (tried with Nova) and you press Home button again you'll see a small refresh of launcher. This is because of the workaround.
So I would advice you to not buy it.
JKay is another option
thank you ... ykay is almost perfect
i would like a JB style lock screen which is customizible ... but this one is fine too
you can customize the lockscreen if you buy his app
i bought his app but there doesent seem to be any customazitation for the stock JB lockscreen available ... only for the ICS one
