Ok here goes nothing...I have a droid x2 rooted. I love the CM7 ROM and the eclipse 2.3 ROM. I also like the original droid x2 blur ROM. What I don't like about the Blur ROM is the lock screen. Ok not so much the lock screen but the fact that I can't use the google music app with the lock screen widget. Follow me so far? What I want to change on the Blur ROM is the lock screen music control to be able to use it with google music app and the car dock music control also to be able to use it with the google music app. Can someone out there help me out?
How about a lockscreen replacement app?
don't be scared it's only a phone

I tried that but I still get the blur lock screen at start up which I can't stand. And as far as the car dock I like the look of it but if I delete the music app I can't use the music controls.

Editing the default blur screen in a royal pain in the ass. I tried forever but had lots of success with widget locker. Widget Locker and any other replacement app will take a second to start. That's the nature of apps and something we have to just get over.
This app looks quite promising. The permissions scare me a bit but if you're okay with it go for it.

Hi,
I`m looking for a new lock screen,
my Phone isnt rooted or anything, its a standard phone.
Any Ideas

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
Hello, I'm using Photon 4G with CM7.2, but I don't like the lockscreen in it, and other lockscreens too (Go locker etc.), most of all I loved the stock moto lockscreen. Is it possible to revert to it? Thanks
I'd recommend giving Milocker a try. It basically ports all off MIUI's lock screens to any other phone, and I've seen home created Blur lock screens in there that look pretty damn good.

Widget locker is an app for that I used to use and it let me create one just like moto and then add other things I wanted

CM comes with a couple different lock screen options included. Have you changed them in menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings> somewhere in one of the options (sorry, don't run CM so I don't know the exact path )?
Id check out the ones that are already integrated into the rom before installing a 3rd party lockscreen. The installable options aren't terrible but I've experienced consistency issues while testing and some don't play well with security set on the phone.
Regarding if moto lock screen can run on that rom in short, no. The lock screen isn't just an apk that can be pushed, and if it were I could guarantee there would be a dependency on the framework. That's how HTC used to keep people from jacking their lock screen back in the day. Now its all integrated tightly into the framework (or was it systemui now?) so you could design a theme for your lock screen that's moto inspired if you felt like playing with some apks and pngs. The Motorola lock screen isn't a far departure from being a themed stock lock so really there would be no smali work involved. Plug and play images, flash, change some more, flash .... repeat until happy.
I think youll be extremely happy with Widget Locker and CM7 together. Thats the combo i ran on my Evo before i got my Mopho. You can turn off the lock screen in CM7,and just run WL. Seamless!

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.

Thanks, this worked just fine.
like a lot of people, i'm not much a fan of the default sense lockscreen -- especially on ICS. just curious what kinda lockscreen replacement apps you guys are using. i've tried out widgetlocker in the past and loved it...just saw simply lockscreen and like the way it looks but read there's a lot of bugs with it.
your thoughts?
I've been using Widget Locker for 6 months now and got no problem whatsoever with it. Maybe you should give it a spin once more

Agreed. Widgetlocker is awesome.
You can always default to ICS AOSP lockscreen built into ANY sense Rom.
Use estrongs or root explorer.
Navigate to system/app
Find htclockscreen.apk
Rename to htclockscreen.apk.bak
Check out your new lock screen.
It's the one with camera and unlock left to right.
No extra services running, simply rename back to have sense lockscreen back. If changes don't happen immediately, a reboot will fix.

I use Go locker. You can download a bunch of themes for it.
Try this lockscreen, it has a totally new concept.
I have been using this for a week now.

I've always wanted a lockscreen that permitte dme to lock and also access the camera, with a pin on the lockscreen. Is there any non-stock that support this function?
Hi All,
I've had my S3 for 2 weeks now, sold my HTC One X for it, should of done it earlier tbh! Anyway one main bug of mine is no lockscreen controls for Spotify, when the HTC One X had it....does anyone know how a fix around this??
Cheers!
Stock? I do not believe the stock rom allows for music controls outside of the stock music player. Not really a bug just an oversight.

Yes sorry it is stock! To get the feature is there a ROM out there that supports it do you know??
It's 'cause Samsung's TouchWiz lockscreen doesn't support the controls, whereas the AOSP one does. A workaround is to enable pattern/password etc. security on the phone which switches the lockscreen to the AOSP one, and should show the controls (at least it does for me with PowerAMP and pattern lock)

doesmt work on my S3 ;/
I get lockscreen controls when using pin code unlock. This happens on Omega V10 but it should be a Android feature and should work on stock roms too.

This worked for me. I used the PIN option because it wasn't working with the Pattern.

Not true at all, I use Doubletwist and i have lock screen controls on my Note 2 stock
People need to stop thinking you cant do anything because you have a stock rom.
Doubletwist gives me lock screen controls , Spotify however does not, so the problem is with the app and not the stock rom

I'm on 4.2.1 and my Spotify is usable from the lock screen. It automatically creates a widget when spotify is playing. I use Omega v44 rom and nova launcher.

I had the same problem with spotify when I switched from an iPhone to a S3.
I wrote "media utilities" , provides notification controls and widgets with cover art. Was a fun little project and works pretty well with apps like spotify and pandora which have not added all of the controls yet.

Sorry should have added a screen shot. Used "Media Utilities" for spotify controls and "Widget Locker" for lock screen replacement.
