Can this be done on the note. I really don't like the one that comes with it. I am using widget locker but I want to lock the phone and I don't like the stock one.
had the same question.
Only way I found was go into Gallery and pick image and set-as then you'll get a lock screen option.
I'm using MIUI locker, the resolution is a little off making the text and objects a little small.
But, i love the ICS style screen with the for unlock options.
Go Locker is good too.
I will def fix that issue .. if I can ever put my hand on the note
Widget locker costs a few bucks but is really customizable as well.

Download widget locker from market it has a variety of lockscreens and extras.
Mod the lockscreen without root? Nah... you root access to replace system files.

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 have a Samsung Galaxy SII and it has the stock lockscreen which looks like this:
img819.imageshack.us/img819/9435/sc20110603154529.jpg
Is there a way to change the graphic that the lockscreen uses (can'r seem to find this setting anywhere ) or an app that will give me a cool looking lock screen (the stock one feels a bit 'cheap' IMO).
Thanks guys!
Widget Locker is the answer.

You can e.g. download an image and then I think go to the gallery. There if you look at the picture you will have the options to set the picture as wallpaper background or "lockscreen background".
This really is not intuitive and I spent a while before finding it.
Yeh you need to have images in your gallery and then go to settings/ display/ screen display and there you can change your lockscreen settings.

I tried widgetlock but it doesn't support table landscape mode. sad.
What is ugly about it? You can change the wallpaper for the lock screen. Samsung is just using the stock honeycomb lockscreen.
You can place any picture you want on the lock screen. Just go into settings/screen/screen display and then change the lock screen wallpaper.
Don't like the time/date font. also I would prefer some extra information like alarm ....

+1 That looks awesome. I too was sad when WidgetLocker just didn't pull it off. I love it on my phone. I don't hate the lockscreen, but I'd love to customize it.
I found this ripple lock and it looks quite decent.

WidgetLocker definitely does support the Tab in landscape - I should know, I'm using it.
That's not to say it's without it's issues, there are the standard WidgetLocker niggles but it definitely works.
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!
wondering if there is any app that has secure lock screen like with pattern or code unlock, but also has access to camera app straight from lock screen without unlocking the phone... though there would be another security needs to be applied that if the phone is used by someone else, they can use it to take pictures or videos but cannot go into gallery or review other data if the camera is activated by straight from unlock screen....
and then, if one needs to access the gallery from there.. they need to draw secured pattern or key in the unlock code....
any idea if there is any app for this?
just like in iphone os, there is camera button, and code unlock, and once camera is initiated, only pictures taken with activation of camera without unlocking phone can be reviewed ....
wish I knew how to program in Android, I would have done it !!!

I found this but can't set it up. i have tasker, widget locker and secure settings with helper.
from widget locker the option to add task cut isn't given and tbh i don't really have a clue what i doing from within tasker?
if anyone can figure this out and perhaps give a step by step or even better still if someone could manage to make an apk with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.appfactory
that would be awsome!

Anyone ever get this working?
I noticed other day that HTC One X has similar function....
from home screen, any guest can access camera and take photos... but can only see photos taken by the guest... the phone is still locked and needs pattern/passcode to unlock it.
wish that could be implemented in samsung galaxy s3 lockscreen ...
any ideas/leads how this could be done?
well... noticed this in Windows phone also ... if the phone is locked one can access camera by pressing camera button (in nokia's) and then can take pictures/videos and look at only just taken pictures & videos ..... arrrrhhh why it is so hard to implement in samsung android device ???
wish i was developer, i could totally write an app for this, which would fire camera from locked screen shortcut, and would take pictures and videos in one temp location only...

I do not understand .... can you please explain how can i have a lockscreen widget installed which will fire camera and will let me take pictures/videos without unlocking the phone, PLUS it also does not allow to view all my other pictures from gallery, just only the pictures/videos shot using that lockscreen widget....
If you're running an Android 4.2 ROM, just swipe left on the lock screen. The widget to the right of the lock screen is the camera widget and takes you into camera. Works exactly the way you're asking for.

HTC One X isn't 4.2 ... i think it is the HTC one X launcher which has in-built lockscreen which does the trick - allow usage of camera on locked phone, and also allows only to see just taken pictures, and videos, not the others already in phone.
