Any info how to make the default froyo lockscreen in portrait ?pls advice
I had to buy WidgetLocker
Lock 2.0 will also force lockscreen to portrait.
Full version
Demo version
LockBot also uses portrait.
Free version
Paid version
I played a bit with LockBot free and it works better if you use something like NoLock to turn off the phone's built-in lockscreen. I'm not using a security lock.
I like LockBot better from the few minutes I tried them out.
Edit: the free version of LockBot has no ads and has three lockscreens you can choose from. It also allows unlocking form the menu button. See attached images for Lockbot free lockscreens.
To choose a theme in the free version open Lockbot from the app tray. Tap My themes. Then hit the menu key and then playlist. In the free version you can pick from the three themes pictured in the attachments. The ones you select will rotate. Select only one if you want the same lockscreen each time.
How do u get lock 2.0 to so lock screen in full mode?

That's my current setup. I changed the backgrounds for the lockscreens to pics of my 3 year old grand kids.
LockBot works with the PowerAmp lockscreen widget, except with the direct unlock setting in PowerAmp. So when I am running PowerAmp I have to unlock twice, which is how I had it setup with the stock lockscreen.
I have widgetlocker, but it irritates me how the first time I try to wake my phone up, the stock lock screen is there and the phone immediately shuts back off. I'll try nolock when I get home, thanks for the info!
Edit: Worked like a charm.

Hi,
Widget Locker is really good however the Home Screen bypasses the security. Howevr you must use the inbuilt lock for it to work. But note, if you have a widgetlocker background for example black then when you go to unlock it you will see your homescreen background which doesnt really fit in? if you know what i mean?
LockBot Pro was really good and my preferred choice however that too bypass security. Even though it has its own Inbuilt Lock. Pressing the Home gets rid of it...apparently it say's its fixed but you can still press the Home and you're in....
---
I downloaded Lock 2.0 which has a inbuilt Lock 4 Digit Pass. Which is what I want however I can't move the slider down. ?? the background pictures shows correctly but then the slider is like half way down the screen.. does anyone have a idea how this works??
Thanks
I didn't like NoLock because the volume and camera keys bring the phone back to life.
I found Screen Mode Widget Lite overcame that problem.

never faced an issues with widgetlocker
I'm using GoLauncher and GoLocker, and sometimes the standard lock screen appears, and then after I drag that away the GoLocker lock screen comes up! I downloaded the app 'NoLock' which fixed the problem perfectly, until I restarted my phone and now the standard lock screen comes up every time I lock my phone!
Solution??
Thanks!
PS: yes, I have GoLocker set as default lock screen...

I didn't have much success with GoLocker.
Give MagicLocker a shot (free)
I actually really liked Widget Locker the best but it is a paid app
I'd also make sure I only had one installed at a time to ensure permissions you've allowed were not causing conflicts.
I have tried several apps that does that but nothing met my expectation.
I settled with the stock one.
Download a jkay theme or supported theme and choose the no lockscreen in its settings.. that's what i use and the stock lockscreen doesn't come up on start up.. or you can also try disabling lockscreen in the security settings..

First of all :
I searched about this problem and found nothing. I wouldn't post here if I could have found a solution by myself.
Hello,
I'm using NeutrinoGT 2.2 ROM and I would like to use WidgetLocker and the fingerprint scanner. Here is what I would like to get :
1 - Press Power or Volume keys to wake up the phone. WidgetLocker appears.
2 - Swipe my finger.
3 - Phone unlock.
But here is what I have :
1 - Press Power or Volume keys to wake up the phone. WidgetLocker appears.
2 - Swipe finger : Haptic feedback.
3 - Widgetlocker stay on the screen. I must slide the tab to unlock my phone.
OR
1 - Press Power or Volume keys to wake up the phone. WidgetLocker appears.
2 - Slide the tab.
3 - CM7 lockscreen appear.
4 - Swipe my finger. Haptic feedback. Phone unlocked.
I also checked CM settings/lockscreen/disable Lockscreen. If not, I have to slide one more tab each time I unlock the phone (CM7's tab)
I'm using lastest WidgetLocker from market.
What should I do ? Where am I wrong ?
Thanks in advance !
why would you use another locker on top of 2 lockers already in the phone?i am also using neutrino and for me,i don't have the widget locker
without it,my phone is like this(no settings yet):
1.press power/unlock button or volume keys
2.cm7 slide to unlock
3.finger scanner slide finger
4.unlock
after turning off the cm7->lockscreen->unlock option->skip on security,it goes like this:
1.press power/unlock button or volume keys
2.cm7 slide finger to unlock
3.unlock
imho,you should just uninstall the widget locker
I know, but I would like to have a customized lockscreen with music controls, weather, etc.
And that's not possible with CM7 stock lockscreen.
well,i think you know how to remove cm7's slide to unlock.if not,i did post it before.
i don't know what's so special about widget unlocker since never use it before.but if you want the music,you can use winamp and poweramp.though don't know the weather widget
well,this is my suggestion.skip the finger scanner all together if possible.it's a nuisance actually(though i've gotten used to it)just use the widget locker's unlock.the widget locker is made for ever normal phone and the only phone that have a finger scanner is only the atrix.so the company won't make an exception to make a finger scanner JUST FOR THE ATRIX.so your options are:
1.go through at least 2 lockscreen(widget locker+fingerprint)
2.skip the fingerprint(get all the widget locker goodness)
3.skip widget locker(get a more secure unlocker:finger print scanner)
My problem is that WidgetLocker doesn't work with the fingerprint scanner, although it should work. It is stated here.
WidgetLocker should disappear when I swipe my finger. But it does not.
I know this is possible, this guy succeeded.
I'm not interested in PowerAMP or other apps. I just want to use WidgetLocker because it is a really great app.
hmm,well this i cannot comment.why don't you just pm the guy who actually stumbled upon it.he did say it was because of the update.sorry,can't help anymore.
imo,it's more of the app update related kind of problem and can't be solved by normal enable/disable options.just my opinion.
good luck on finding the solution
edit:re-read the post and seemed like it was almost luck-related solution.also,the last post sort of stated the possible solution.also do note the date.it's july last year so it does not necessarily work now as some updates could have screwed up your chance to get it working.again just my opinion
re-edit again: pm the guy that did it
Thanks graphidz

I'm so new with CM, didn't have a chance to explore a newly flashed Neutrino yet, but your post skip me the hassle.
Can Neutrino's CM7 have this option:
to unlock screen, you have to swipe finger OR enter PIN.
On the lockscreen, there's a button to directing you alternative way to unlock (by entering correct PIN).
The current Gingerbread support this ( I don't know about stock, I used to have PieCrust 1.6)

When I use GB rom, I always use "lockscreen widget" to lock screen. But i can't use it on ICS rom ( i've tried lots of ICS).
After i use that widget, the screen turn on automatically .
Any one can solve this or which widget you use to lock screen?
Thanks for your help!:victory:

You can in ics too. You just have to enable that widget app in device admins (like what it says in the help of that app.
Settings -> Security-> Device Admins
And just a correction use the term "screen lock widget" so we can understand easily what you mean. Lock screen is always refered to the screen where you use your thumb to unlock it and access the phone

Well that seems like a problem of the widget you are using. For example the switch pro widgets i'm using works like it should.
Both on GB and ICS
What is lockscreen widget? I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen and it works fine for me on ICS. Using any kind of custom ROM.
I installed go locker, it is very good that it can change your selected wallpapers of lock screen randomly. one bad thing is that the nav soft keys also shown up. another issue the camera button is not able to lauch camera from locked screen. anyone get other better apps to do this wallpaper change (only for lock screen) ? thanks
