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.

Widget locker is an app for that I used to use and it let me create one just like moto and then add other things I wanted

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!

Hello
I recently installed the Liberty Rom and for the most part I love it. Ive been using the OEM build with some minor metamorph tweaks since I upgraded from the OG Droid. One thing that bugs me about the Liberty Rom is the lock screen. Yea yea i know the lockscreen....
What im curious about is if i can install the OEM pattern lock screen and the OEM sliding lock screen back into this rom? The one it currently has is the older style screen and its not as polished looking. Also it only allows you to have either a lock or the slide lock screen not both like the OEM does.
Ive done a ton of searching and found that some one ported the OEM D2/X lockscreen to what i beleive was the incrediable but that was several months ago with no updates and that was about it.
Thanks!

Can you show a screenshot of what you are asking?
I'm using Liberty Gingerbread .9 on my Droid 2 & I use the great app
WidgetLocker, which allows you to use sliders & customize multiple sliders w/WL Actions, Apps, & Shortcuts & I have six custom sliders that allow access to loads of stuff I need right on bootup.
You can do a lot, see the settings. It is well worth it.
Hope this helps.

I used to be on liberty until the dev just stopped updating. The last version I was able to apply themes to was 2.0.1 (froyo kernel). If you would like to theme, I suggest trying the older version. Personally, I found MIUI a MUCH easier ROM to theme, especially given the quality of their theme library.
Here's a screenie

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 !!!

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 anyone is interested these MIUI lockscreens are qHD, which is what our screens are. They work perfectly.

Thanks. I can tell you from personal experience that if you set one that isn't qhd, you might get locked out of your phone!

Thanks! Haha. No more of my mini hard attacks when I think I'm locked out of my phone.

I know the being locked out panic feeling,not fun! I used to have a Samsung Captivate with MIUI and loved all the themes/lockscreens. I was disappointed when the lockscreens didn't fit right on the Atrix, so I went on a hunt and found that the evo 3d and some others also have qHD screens.

Not working for me
Am I doing something wrong? I can't get any themes I download for miui to appear in my local themes window. I can download them online and they (mostly) work (with the exception of the ones where the lockscreen is offcenter, that makes sense now). But if I download them elsewhere and move them into my /sdcard/miui/theme folder they don't appear, even if I click import theme and go select them.
I figured I was downloading incompatible themes but with the list of qHD ones that can't be it. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
If it is just a lockscreen , you have to go to themes then click customize at the bottom, then hit lockscreen. Sometimes what you download might not be a complete theme so it's not going to show in themes, but will in the customize menu.
thank you!
For those who dont know, you can unlock manually any miui lockscreen pressing back+volumeup.
It supposed to be at the same time, but I have better luck keeping back pressed, and then pressing volume up.
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?
I flashed the Adrenaline 2.0 ROM after rooting recently (went through all the standard procedures like wiping), partly for the AOSP screen lock. It works and all, but the "AOSP Screen Lock" app in the app drawer, which I'm guessing is to customize the lock screen, doesn't work. When I try to open it, it just dumps me back into the app drawer with just a brief black flash (as if it was trying to load, then failed). No error messages.
I'd really like to customize the 4 apps that can be launched from the lock screen, and also check why it's not displaying Google Play Music controls when I'm playing music. Does anyone know a fix, or perhaps a way to re-flash just the AOSP 5 point lock screen?
I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure the app that is in the app drawer is just used to "redraw" the AOSP lockscreen if it glitches out. Also, I don't think you can customize the apps that are on the lock screen, I'm pretty sure that ZHP pilot has to customize that for you and then you reflash it the lockscreen app again. Look in the thread for NeoMax or Adrenaline threads in the dev section.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info. I guess the lock screen isn't the panacea I was hoping it to be. Seems that even the Google Play Music lock screen controls can't work. A shame. Though I'm not sure it's supposed to be showing black instead of my wallpaper so often...
