Is there a way to change the keypad, free up some space, add the current location's weather, etc? I'm not looking for adding the swipe lockscreen on top of the the pin lock. I just want the pin lock a little more appealing. I am on Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted.

I would recommend taking a look at the app WidgetLocker Locksceen, it allows you to add widgets to the lockscreen such as weather plus other customization options that you can use with a pin lock on the lockscreen.

I absolutely love the ripple effect unlock on the S3 - But I kinda hate the lockscreen itself (bad quality image for the wallpaper, ugly clock, non-customized icons for shortcuts, etc...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could either customize the S3 lockscreen and use my own clock widgets and/or icons OR somehow get the ripple effect unlock over to my WidgetLocker screen...?
I'd probably just prefer to use the ripple unlock in WidgetLocker.

Not sure on this, widgetlocker is great, but I find it causes wakelocks which isn't helpful. I just wish there was a way to what shortcuts show on the stock lockscreen, and wish it showed todays calendar appointments. That would make it pretty close to perfect without dealing with widgetlockers battery drain issue.
Fwiw, I notice that widget locker constantly asks for your location in the permissions log... Not widget related as I had nothing on the screen just a slider. Guessing that is what causes the wakelock'ing

You can change what shortcuts on lockscreen. Settings. Security. Lock screen options. Short cuts

Awesome, thanks for that.... Now if we could only get Calendar appointments to display, maybe a dev will work it out. Although probably just use the AOKP / CM lockscreen if that's the case when the time comes.
Install water drops plus from the play store and choose whichever wallpaper you like to put under the water and you can use it with widget locker.. Maybe add a transparent slider for now also... That's the best thing I can think of

Disable automatic drops in settings so it only ripples on touch unless yu like it automatic.. Just play around with it..

Heh i sent the author of WidgetLocker an email the other day talking about this very thing....
I not only like the ripple effect but the slider itself being able to be used from ANYWHERE on the screen is nice.
Usually WidgetLocker is very good about adding features and fixing issues in the past.. the only reason I can see him not being able to do something like this would be due to restrictions with the OS itself.
As for the suggestion on waterdrops.. that's great if you don't already use a LiveWallpaper If you use a Livewallpaper like I do, you cannot have 2 of them running at once (one for the lockscreen and one for the normal phone operation).
Hi there. I have a galaxy s3 since a mounth or two and i have a contact that i call 20 or 25 time per day.
I want to know if there is a HACK or a MOD to integrate a direct call shortcut to the original lockscreen of the S3.
Thanks
I'm not sure about a hack/mod for the stock lock screen - someone else will hopefully clue you in about that.
Failing that though you could replace the stock lock screen with Widgetlocker which will allow you to add custom shortcuts and widgets (such as a direct dial widget for instance) to the lock screen.

Thanks for your reply. Hope in next Version Samsung will include this option in the stock ROM

I know this is old topic but Samsung did no changes to solve the problem. I wanted to keep original lock screen and be able to launch shortcuts from it, so I wrote an app for it. Application can be mapped with any shortcut, so when you press app icon it works like pressing shortcut icon. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change app icons, so I put launcher icons with different numbers on it.
Application is called Shortcut Launcher. You can download it from Google Play.
And if you don't want to install stuff, you could just add a call contact widget on the homescreen, you would still have to unlock it but it's some steps quicker
You can also use the ROM SlimBean, it has the option to add widgets to the lockscreen
Hey so I'm using SGS3 I9300, currently running Omega v42.
I'm looking for a Screen Lock app that has a PATTERN lock. So far I downloaded like 15 different apps, some of them doesn't support pattern at all, the others just show stock lockscreen after the app lockscreen, making it kind of stupid.
I'm mostly looking for a lockscreen that has a pattern lock and an option to show widgets. Best will be if there's an option to add different pages to the lockscreen (like CM10 style, where each page is a whole widget and can drag the pattern lock from the button).
Thanks in advance!
I have disabled the pattern/PIN lock using the following code in my lock screen.
KeyguardManager km = (KeyguardManager) getSystemService(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
k1 = km.newKeyguardLock("IN");
k1.disableKeyguard();
Also, i have used the FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD.
It is working fine in my Moto G. But, few devices are showing the default Pattern lock after my lock screen. How can i fix it? What could be the issue?

I am not expert in App Development and Java, but I can suggest you another workaround.
ICS and higher versions allow user to customize lockscreen like Slide, Pattern, Pin etc from Settings.
You can put a button in your app which takes user to Phone Settings where he can select "None" as lockscreen.
Other option is you can contact Developer of "Holo Locker". Holo Locker disables stock lockscreen on most devices. He can help you in this
Find his E-Mail Address at Google Play page of Holo Locker.
Press Thanks if helped.
Hi Thanks for the suggestion. I will try to contact him through mail.

thank you very much ...been looking for something similar to Holo Locker for a while now ...
Got my S23U yesterday, installed Good Lock then Lock Star to get additional AOD and resising them like on my ex S22U, unfortunately there are neither additional clocks nor resising option! Is it normal or I am missing something?
There are some updates for the Good Lock modules on the Galaxy Store. Make sure you pull them down. That being said, Samsung has incorporated customization of the lockscreen into the core OS, if you go into "wallpaper and style" settings and click on the lockscreen, you'll see that you can customize some of the lockscreen there.
Edit: I can indeed customize the look of my S23U lockscreen (including sizing) with the Lock Star module.
