The stock lock screen is honestly pretty terrible. Laggy and pretty featureless. I've tried a few things from the Market, but as soon as I restart the phone I end up with two lock screens. Any leads?

WidgetLocker is the best replacement lockscreen app...IMHO. And tons of themes here on xda, I make WidgetLocker themes as well.
Try MILocker highly customizable man... Its based upon MIUI

I gave this a try. I like how it looks, but it doesn't seem to scale up properly on our devices. Were you able to get around that?

It seems to depends on the theme. Also, almost everything's in Chinese. I like it a lot after a few edits, now I just gotta get media controls on the lock screen.

Yes the.lock screen is pretty horrible. For now I have just disabled it completely and I think I'll keep it that way for a while pretty nice

what do you mean?
Mine works just fine.....if your talking about the actually locks, you can long press on the locks and resize them. you have to be in widget locker to do it, you can't just do it from the lock screen.
so go to app drawer and open widget locker, long press on lock, resize
Im not a huge fan of alot of stuff on my lock or home screen, so for me the great alternative lock for me was sign2unlock.

The good thing about Widgetlocker is that it can be tweaked to have as little (or as much) as someone wants.

Really? Which variant?
I use the 5 screen one and it's flawless. Haven't found a better launcher. I just wish it had landscape mode. Sometimes if I use WidgetLocker and it's in landscape mode, the SE Launcher reloads itself but in landscape mode. Aside from the icons not being placed properly it otherwise looks great.
Wish someone with enough skills could make a variant with landscape mode!
Works great. I think I like it better than the touchwiz one on here

no, its actually more laggy than blur.. haha. if it wasnt laggy i would use it. there is a jerk when you move across homescreens, kind of like when you have a LWP on..
Not for me. It was fast as heck there was just missing apps in the drawers

TW laucher is faster than this, in fact i think its the fastest launcher for our atrix right now. Anyway if you want to make arc launcher faster try reducing the number of applications in each appdrawer page.

Im probably the only one who feels this way, but i think the touchwiz lockscreen is unsmooth and really tacky. It doesnt quite look right to slide the wallpaper away.
I was wondering how possible it is to port a lockscreen, or even just turn the wallpaper into glass, so that it slides nicer.
And yeah yeah i know "flash cm7" but i am not quite ready to leave some of the touchwiz features yett.

I'm sure it won't take too long to see some lock screen options.
But I do want to add my +1 for aosp and glass lock screen when someone who is capable has the time. I know the developers we have are pretty busy right now so I am waiting patiently.
By the way thanks for all the work done so far.

Exactly what Im doing.
Are you sometimes getting the Samsung lock screen after dismissing the widgetlocker screen? Seems to occur when I have done kind of a notification waiting.
I have not seen the two lockscreens overlapped at all.
Replying to bump.
Haven't really seen anything regarding this mod, and no personal luck with UOT Kitchen.
Anyone have an idea how to do this?
I'm on UnNamed and not too interested in leaving it for another ROM over a lock screen. And the downloadable ones mentioned always tend to overlap with the stock one which is even more of a hassle.

I have never understood the craze about giant clock widgets. It seems to me that if there is already a perfectly working clock in your status bar, you would not need to have a huge widget taking up half your screen to have the same function. It would be like having a gigantic 4x4 gmail icon when right next to it you have a normal gmail shortcut in your launcher.
For me, it's a decorative piece on the board. Even though it does take up a fourth of the screen, there's really nothing that it's covering, except the background, and that's already covered up to an extent by the calendar widget. It also acts as a shortcut to the alarm clock, which is really handy.
Big clock is for when your on the the homescreen, and little on is when you're in apps.That's how it is for me
I also have nothing better to put there, and and I don't want my phone to look like an IPhone

Probably the same reason you have android for customization ....in that case why have a android? It makes calls .just get a old flip phone it makes calls.too.
i like the simple clean looking clock - similar to an ics style
dont like huge weather or clocks as i like to see the wallpaper behind
1) i hide my status bar (coz i can), so it helps having clock and date there instantaneously. A little needless i agree but what the hay
2) it looks nice and adds something to my desktop

It is. A agenda widget is way more useful. Also power widget (if you dont have it in the statusbar) is necessary. The power widget alone makes my friends regret they bought iPhones.
Ps: I still use the useless clock widget. Allways

Hololauncher HD allows you to lock the desktop so that won't happen. And its a great home app anyways... check it out. You'll like it most likely. Don't see how you couldn't.
Go launcher has the lock home screen option also.
