[Q] Lock weather, change provider? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Is there a way to change the weather provider / app on the lock screen to something other than accuweather?

u could use fancy widgets or beautiful widgets from the store.

Would need to get a different lockscreen to do this. Don't believe it is possible with Stock based ROMs.

Question regarding desktop visualizer

I want to change my messaging and contacts icons on the touchwiz launcher but can't figure out how. The only option it gives me is to replace them with another app. I can make new icons to place on my screens but not on the tw row.

You need Launcher Pro or some other home screen alternative to change those.
I have been using Launcher Pro for a while now and wanted a change for a while. Thanks though.

I use the power control plus app, it has a widget that you can control most everything with.
You can disable this issue in agile lock settings. Look got the double lock section, and pick one that works with your phone.

How do I use toggles / quick compose SMS from lockscreen?

This is probably a really dumb question but my search on Google didn't help me. I am on serendipity 8 and am wondering how can I control the toggles without unlocking?
I also want to be able to quick compose text from the lockscreen. I've tried handcent and go SMS but can't activate the quick compose functions unless I unlock the screen with my password.
Is there any way to do these things?
Thanks and sorry if its been covered I just can't find anything.

Anyway to be able to drag down the notification bar in widget locker while at lockscreen? I seem to have it enabled (not disabled anyway) but unless I'm in tool mode I can't pull down notifications

I'm able to use my notification bar while using widget locker. If your options are enabled I'd just reccomend rebooting your phone and trying it again. Also, check out the ice cream sandwich lockscreen theme very nice

I've been using Agile lock, able to pull down the notification bar and answer phone/emails/texts without unlocking. It also has 4 icons that you can drag to unlock and will go directly to those apps.
Ripple lock is from the same developer, does the same thing but has a different layout for the icons on the lock screen.
* It looks like you can't get Agile lock free anymore (I downloaded free a few weeks ago). Ripple lock is still free.

The Best Screen Lock App

My wish is that someone would make a Screen Lock App and maybe some has, if not I think this a great idea, of course.
1. It must show any missed income calls, messages and emails.
2. Time and weather.
3. Circle when long pressed to swipe outside of circle to open.
4. Customizable App selection; the ability to add a few apps around the circle to choose from, but if not chosen swipe outside of the circle to opens.
5. Select a random picture everytime you turn on your phone from a directory of your choice.
I think that's a tall order my friend, but you can try Widget Locked and see if you get some or all of those things you're looking for...

Yes, WidgetLocker is great. It allows to add homescreen widgets on it. Plus, it has many themes to launch apps (ICS, Sense, iPhone).
I'd like to add more: Install "Tesla Unread" to get missed call, SMS and Gmail counts.
Yeah, Widget Locker pretty much does all of that minus Live Picture wallpaper.
Try Go Locker from Play Store

You'll have to install Go Launcher EX to use it. Just to tweak lock screen usability, changing home launcher is an overkill..
I'm gonna suggest, as others here have, Widget Locker. I've always been running widget locker since I first had an android phone and have never used anything else because it does the job perfectly. Obviously, it's best feature is the customization available for it. Every few days I'm changing the layout of my lockscreen, just so it's something new

You could try using widget locker combined with minimalistic text integrated with tasker. That might give you what you want.

Hi
I like "Instant Buttons" for fun.
Beside that, I use the widget of SPlaner, Light Assistant and the weather app/widget
I really like samsung smart switch widget. It will be great if I can put in the notification tray as toggles
