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.

Looks nice! I love Go Launcher Ex so I might give this a try later!
Nice find! Works really well. Know of anyway to change the ugly stock wallpapers in them though? Lol

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!
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.

I was watching a review of the new Chinese super cheap tablet with ICS and their lock screen has more than just the unlock/camera we have. It has a top and bottom option as well. I was wondering if anyone came across this or something similar that works for our US ICS tablets. Would be cool to have more options, especially if they were configurable.

It was probably and ICS based lockscreen for Go Locker or Go Lockscreen (can't remember what it's actually called). You should be able to use that application and replace it. Still should (haven't tried it) work okay on the Prime.
oic, checked it out in the market and it doesn't look like its ready for ICS yet.

Go Locker isn't showing available to download to the prime from my pc. Haven't looked at widget locker.
think i saw the same video and theyre using ripple lock
So I am in the process of screwing around with things on my CM7'd NC and was hit with something.
The lock screen, is atrocious. It works. It does it's job but it's fugly.
Now me being me, and that means poor I started looking around for various lockscreens on the Google Play and TBH none of them do what I want.
I really, really liked the lockscreen in CM9 and the fact that I could attach my own custom little message to it.
Is there anything like that for CM7? I'd still be on CM9 if HW video acceleration got going on it.
Thanks in advance.
I really wish there was a mod of some sort for this. im searching and have not found one yet. Im keeping up my search and ill let you know if I can find something! Sorry I couldnt help.
Try widget locker from the play market.
Also check out Magic Locker.
late,
Coz
I already looked at those. I was hoping for something with landscape support. I am also working on a Metro UI Project and I could really use a metro style lockscreen.
Have you seen Ripple Lock? It's not the best, but the closest I have seen to cm9 than anything else. I can't post links, but it's in the Play Store.
Yeah I have used that in the past and have given up on anything else for now because I am very busy.
If anyone is still looking for a good app for this, widgetlocker is the way to go. Its got as much customization as anyone could ever ask for, and landscape and portrait support, etc. Its got everything.

Hi All,
I've had my S3 for 2 weeks now, sold my HTC One X for it, should of done it earlier tbh! Anyway one main bug of mine is no lockscreen controls for Spotify, when the HTC One X had it....does anyone know how a fix around this??
Cheers!
Stock? I do not believe the stock rom allows for music controls outside of the stock music player. Not really a bug just an oversight.

Yes sorry it is stock! To get the feature is there a ROM out there that supports it do you know??
It's 'cause Samsung's TouchWiz lockscreen doesn't support the controls, whereas the AOSP one does. A workaround is to enable pattern/password etc. security on the phone which switches the lockscreen to the AOSP one, and should show the controls (at least it does for me with PowerAMP and pattern lock)

doesmt work on my S3 ;/
I get lockscreen controls when using pin code unlock. This happens on Omega V10 but it should be a Android feature and should work on stock roms too.

Just tried it on mine and it works, but I use Holo locker with Nova Launcher for my Jelly Bean theme I have, it's a bit of a pain to get lockscreen controls so I will just have to bit the bullet... Thanks anyway tho!

This worked for me. I used the PIN option because it wasn't working with the Pattern.

Not true at all, I use Doubletwist and i have lock screen controls on my Note 2 stock
People need to stop thinking you cant do anything because you have a stock rom.
Doubletwist gives me lock screen controls , Spotify however does not, so the problem is with the app and not the stock rom

I'm on 4.2.1 and my Spotify is usable from the lock screen. It automatically creates a widget when spotify is playing. I use Omega v44 rom and nova launcher.

I had the same problem with spotify when I switched from an iPhone to a S3.
I wrote "media utilities" , provides notification controls and widgets with cover art. Was a fun little project and works pretty well with apps like spotify and pandora which have not added all of the controls yet.

Sorry should have added a screen shot. Used "Media Utilities" for spotify controls and "Widget Locker" for lock screen replacement.
