I tried a few Lockscreen editors but non allowed me to use the fingerprint scanner without having to first slide to unlock. Its just one added step but it makes the fingerprint scanner less cool.
I want to add a text/email widget so I could take a look without unlocking the phone first.
Lockscreen Widget beta located in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977837
will allow you to do this. I'm using it on my Atrix and it works quite well so far.

Looks good, I paid for a different one called ripple lock which is also nice...... only problem with these is you sometimes get a double lock issue where the main lock screen pops up first they have supposedly found a fix for it in the paid versions, and also some you have to unlock to end a call which is annoying. The double lock still happened to me a few times with ripple lock even after the fix. Would be nice if some bright spark could make the image a complete replacement I.e delete the old lockscreen altogether or explain how to, sadly I'm not that bright spark though.

Well, this is not a replacement, just an lockscreen app.

It is Agile Lock!
After the installed Agile lock free, when I received a call the phone had brikked and I had to remove the battery to turn it off
It 'happened to anyone?

I can confirm that. I had weird behaviour in general with agile lock and i had to ditch it for Ripplelock which comes from the same developer until they fix those bugs.
Having a sense 3.0 based lock screen though is imba

My phone acted weird too. Good idea, bad coding...
It is because, as I said before, this is not a replacement, but an app. I dont think that is a good idea to use one app as lockscreen, because things can be weird, like phone calls or alarms.
I use Ripple lock(paid) and its great,no probs at all,is has lots of space for customization...recomend
Does any one have problem with unlock animation...after 1.2 update I cant set any animation,I try to reinstall,rebote but nothing. Any one with same problem?
I tried agile and it worked for me .. I'm using CM7 stable and not having any problem at all with the app .. I'm not getting the double lockscreen except when the phone is plugged in to the charger .. customizing the 4 shortcuts is working as well same with changing the background ..

There doesn't seem to be any alternative locksreen options for the Streak that actually flash the frawework as opposed to running as a application/service. Is this correct? Is there any reason why other devices (such as Captivate) have flashable lockscreens but the Streak doesn't?
Just curious, thanks.

No special reason i can think of, i always liked the donut lockscreen, but i doubt i will ever be having that on Froyo or Gingerbread.
Try ripple lock in the market

(disclaimer: i'm just curious as well)
why can't you just install the app? i mean there are benefits or something with flashing?
For one it'll def be a lot quicker because it'll come straight from the system, and two you don't have to worry about double locks

So why not put the lockscreen app of your choice into the \system\app folder of your favourite rom then reflash it?

Which app should be replaced for this to work?
Does the lock screen come from a system app or is it "built-in" to the kernel or some other part of the framework?
How can you make sure that the replacement lockscreen integrates into the system like the built-in lockscreen?
You make it sound simple, but is it?

Well it depends on the app, not all apss will install from that folder, in that folder of you rom, if its a custom rom that is, are all the system apps installed, like the browser, camera, launcher/launchers etc...
For instance, before i install a custom rom, i will go through deleting all apps i don't want and adding ones i do, from experience i know some do not install ok but most do.
So say, put Agile Lock free edition in that folder, install the rom and see if it works for you.
Just an example.

Your advice is offered as an "easy" solution, but without any basis. I personally could care less about using a different lockscreen, but if you are going to offer a suggestion you might want to think it through, test it, or make it clear that you have not tried it and have no idea if it will work.
And even though I knew that you could modify custom ROMs prior to flashing, perhaps the OP did not?

Well Marvin, no point biting my head off when you failed to answer his question as well, you know as well as i do, that its not possible to change the lockscreen of the Android OS itself as its very tightly integrated with the rest of the OS.
The solution i am offering is to simply install a 3rd party lockscreen and use no lock to disable the system lockscreen, i don't think anybody has another solution to the android lockscreen debacle.

Well I didn't know that about the lockscreen, but I suspected it, which is why I ask the questions I did. I never tried to answer the original question - as I did not know the answer.
How can i totally disable any lockscreen on the rezound? I use widgetlocker but after a restart the sense lockscreen always comes up until widgetlocker loads up. I tried a few no lock apps on the market and nothing seems to work.
tried freezing the default lock screen?

you are going to have to use a app called Titanium backup (might have to pay for the pro edition but it is worth it) or something similar to this, but i recommend this app. Then go to backup/restore then freeze "Default lockscreen"

Yes. I just removed all those apks. We shall see what what happens.
EDIT: just rebooted and now have the aosp lockscreen. I did a google search and i guess i cant do this. It has to do with the android.policy.jar.
Did you try freezing Idlescreen_Base.apk and see what that does?

The chingy gb rom.
I used to use THIS when I wanted to not have a lockscreen. I haven't tried it on the Rez, but I would assume it would work. Might as well try that.

I deleted most of those idlescreen.apks and it seemed to do the trick as far as removing the sense lockscreen. But now im stuck with a blank screen until widgetlocker loads up. Cannot acess my homescreen until then either.

Thanks i tried that today, doesnt work.
I also have this problem on my EVO 3D. Cant disable that darn lockscreen for widgetlocker instead. And I really hate it when i'm using poweramp via lockscreen. I turn on my evo to change a track and the sense lockscreen appears and then it loads the poweramp player with widgetlocker.
I used to use a dialer code to disable the lockscreen in my Droid Charge (when NONE of the no-lock apps worked.
I don't remember the code offhand as I like the sense lock & have no reason to disable it.
I would love to be able to disable lock screen myself. does anybody have any ideas regarding this process?
*EDIT*
I just used NoLock. It breaks on reboot, but I guess that's okay because I don't reboot all that much. Plus, it's kindof cool because I can PIN or password or Pattern lock the phone easily if I want, yet still have the ability to keep apps from screwing up when I turn off the display.
Nothing worse that losing a GPS lock when you need directions and don't know where to turn next. Not to mention lots of other apps that you have to reload when have to unlock...
NoLock, works perfectly for me, even after reboot. I also deleted the sense lock screen. I don't use any lock screen at all though, I like to go straight to home screen.

I have a Verizon Note 2 with the 4.3 Update.. How can we apply widgets on the lock screen is that not built into it on this update?? I saw some other devices have it..
Thanks in advanced.
If rooted, you can use x posed, and a module to activate it I believe. I am on a custom rom. Maybe look into that route?

I had to go to settings -> lockscreen -> then check on allow multiple widgets. Then go to the lock screen and swipe to another direction and there should be a plus sign. Click that and you can add your widget. The functionality is built in and Xposed isn't required unless you want something like the Always Maximize Widgets module to keep the lockscreen widgets always expanded.

are you on Verizon? or a different provider? Because my buddy is on Sprint, and he gets the Menu Settings you mentioned, But for my Verizon Note2, I don't see anywhere about multiple widgets.. Im Assuming Verizon kept that **** off .. Sucks..
But thank you.. Probably going to have to Root it,

No I am using Verizon, but I am using a custom ROM. Haven't used stock in forever, so not sure if there is a menu subsetting.
Yea, I think you are right, I am going to have to root it to get the Multiple Widgets on the lock screen.. Sucks that verizon didn't put that feature in on the 4.3 update.. Everyone else's note 2 got em.. lol..
