Widgets on lock screen, and security lock. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys and girls.
My girlfriend bought a SG2, ans she loves it.
She came from an iPhone and is kind of used with the shortcuts on the lock screen.
What I know, you can't add Widgets AND have a security lock on the phone.
She wants to have shortcuts to camera and music controls on the lock screen.
So my question is: Is there any apps to do this? Or do I have to root her phone? (Witch I'm going to when I have the time to read up. Got a HTC my self) And when I root her phone, what is the best rom? She wants a phone that works, nothing special. ( I'm thinking ICS )

You can buy Widget Locker from the market, but you need to be rooted.

Also some Roms allow you to add widgets/Music controls to the lockscreen.

Doesn't really work, she needs the security lock. (Pattern) thanks for the reply though.

Check in settings and you can set up your phone to have a pin or different lockscreen

You can set up pattern lock or password and still use widget locker.

Thanks for the reply guys. I look into it

Lock screen issue?

I'm using lockbot pro to change the mytouch standard lock screen to the froyo style lock screen. The problem is that I still have to unlock the standard screen and then it gives me the froyo to unlock. How do I disable the standard screen so I only get the one I want?

Use WidgetLocker Lockscreen. It is the best 2 bucks I have spent in a long time!! I am rooted but you dont have to be to use it. It does help though. My avatar pic is my lockscreen. I run it with no slider and a time delay on a button unlock it. It has lots of options for several types of lockscreens and other stuff also.
If u want the stock froyo lockscreen just go into system/ apply then delete the htclocksreen.apk and it will restore the froyo lockscreen you don't need nolock or anything else

You need to be rooted and s=off to edit/delete/add anything to the system file. If you are temp rooted and/or s=on you cannot use just the AOSP lockscreen.
I use the app: lock suppresor with the lockbot pro app.
works for me

[Q] Alternative Lock Screen

So what can I do to replace my lockscreen? I'd like something like WhisperCore which forces me to wipe away my fingerprints in order to unlock so that others can't unlock my phone by looking at the smudges. Is there anything like that out there?
I'll just leave this humongous thread here:

Wow that is a hell of a lot of lockscreens but I'm looking for a specific feature which they all seem to lack. With whispercore (for the nexus) you have a feature called sumdge-resistant screen unlock patterns. So you draw out your pattern as normal but instead of simply unlocking you are brought to another screen with stars all over the screen. You wipe your finger up and down the screen to highlight the stars. Once they are all highlighted your phone unlocks and you've successfully wiped away your the smudges from your pattern. Honestly if I'm not forced to do this then I'll probably forget.

Anyone know of a lockscreen or widget that will allow me to control my Google Music app without having to slide unlock the phone. I see that the photon allows you to do this with the stock music app but not with the Google music app. Much thanks.

Agile lockscreen lets you select the music app to use as lockscreen control
I'm a fan of no lock.

Widget locker does that, and more its what I choice to use
has anyone explained yet how to replace the lock screen via root to the aosp rotary one? I am interested in completely replacing the blur lockscreen
Using Widgetlocker and the darn stock Motorola lockscreen keeps popping up from time to time. Anyone know how to disable it or freeze it in TB to keep it from coming up? Very annoying to have 2 lock screens to mess with.

[Q] Lock Screen Question

Hey Guys
I had a taught and wonder if anyone could give me some information.
Before my Galaxy S2 I had a HTC Desire and I remember that when you woke the phone you were greeted by the Lockscreen and then the pattern lock.
However when you have pattern lock enabled on the Galaxy S2 it just goes straight to pattern lock.
I was wondering if there was anyway to have both on S2. Its nothing major that I need but I liked this feature on the Desire and was wondering if it is something thats possible on the S2
Cheers

hi, u could try using a lockscreen alternative, i use lockview lockscreen the now, and that gives me the lockscreen, then when i slide to unlock, it gives me the screen to put in the pattern unlock screen, am sure things like go locker and magic locker would work the same, just make sure u select the show when secure box in settings. then you will have a lockscreen and pattern unlock. hope this helped

Or set the lockscreen style in system settings to "none" even.

Right.
Go to settings>screen lock and set screen lock to none.
But I want there to be some type of security to get into phone. Or is this not possible

If you disable the lock screen in settings and then use the widget lock, i think you will just have one lock screen.

Is it possible to move or remove the lock screen widget

I'm using Themer App and DashClock. the only thing is that on the HTC One I already have a weather/time/date widget so I have duplicate info on my lock screen.
Is it possible to move or remove the lock screen widget on the HTC One Android 4.3
Anybody?
