In my opinion stock lockscreen is the best.. coz custom lockscreen will eat up ram and some amount of battery too..
But if you are not affected by these factors then you may try out one of the following which i do prefer over other lockscreens..!!
- widgetlocker
-go locker

I agree with @Strider_RD. The stock lock screen that comes bundled in the stock 4.2.1 ROM is the best as it doesn't consume as much RAM as third party lock screen apps do and has more functionality as well (such as the ability to add widgets). I have personally used Holo Locker which is exactly like the locker found on stock 4.1.2 ROMs and consumes around 25-30 MB of RAM; it does not support widgets either. I am not sure about Widget Locker though. If you want to use the older Android lockscreens found on Eclair, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, you could try LockBot ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jackdoit.lockbotfree). :thumbup:

I Agree With You Guys But What About The "Dash Clock" Widgets In The Lock Screen Is It Fine, Does It Consumes More Ram ??

Dash Clock is a very cool addition to the 4.2 lock screen. It gives you quick access to unread messages and weather details and so much more. I don't think it consumes a lot of RAM either. The widget is worth giving a try. :thumbup:

hi
im using holo lock and paid around INR 50 for the feature were in i can have my custom wall paper i prefer lord Ganesha as i would like to see him when i get up in the morning its good enough for me their are many free ones available on play but i liked this one:good::laugh:
I use WidgetLocker. It has alot of themes. I dont mind about the ram it use coz our phone has 1gb of ram so it doesnt matter. I'm using the Halo Lockscreen theme now. Just search for it in google
I have used a lot of lockers but ultimately returned back to the default lock screen.
The main problem with custom lockers is that they use a lot of ram .The more they look pretty,the more ram they use.
BTW ,that is your choice.
The better lockers are------
magic locker
go locker
holo locker
I use sparky lock screen win8 style n it doesn't use so much of ram. But stock is the best.

I've been looking for the preferences for the launcher on nero v5 but can't find them. I just want to be able to change the actions of the buttons on the bottom of the home screen. And maybe make that background clear.
Anyone know how to adjust them?

Download "HomeSmack"
from the market. Makes changing easy.
If yoyr talking about the gingerbread launcher or tw launcer. You wont be able to make tge background clear. I suggrst you download adw launcher from the market. That is the only launcher thst im aware that lets you set a clear background on the drawer

I'm just talking about on the home screens, the buttons on the bottom for the app drawer and browser etc.
I would switch to launcher pro, but I love the app drawer in nero 5, i guess it's just the froyo launcher or something.

Why not switch? You can have an identical looking dock bar like you described with the added ability to customize nearly everything.

i know what you mean. i switched to adwEx launcher but the notification bar doesnt change when i apply the theme-formely known as Nero Glass wich has the transparent backround that MWBehr made. my dialer, contacts, and notification become transparent when i use the stock launcher in bionix_v. i believe its adw based. im going to try apk manager and pull the transparency from the theme and apply it to adwEx.

Word of warning Dropbox will close your account if they see that. Motorola has been contacting all hosting sites threatening legal action to the host site (this is obviously being passed on to the hoster - your self) I would remove that straight away.
On a side note I have looked at the launcher and the widgets and there seems too much work in getting them to port across to touchwiz or any other type of launcher.
There is a similar widget available on the market. It does not have nearly as good functionality (so I have heard) but I do hear of a widget app that is a customisable app available here on XDA. Users can set it up much similar to tasker and it can grab images and skins from your SDcard. I forget the name of it? but apparently this is identical to the genuine one; it does however take huge amounts of fiddling and configuring.

Looks nice, feels smooth.
I'd consider using it if I could press the home button while on my home screen to hide the status bar. I know I can hide it in settings but it's nice just to press home.
More gestures too. Other than that, looks nice.
Hold your heads high, resist and defy.
I love launchers so I tested immediately!
1. Will ask you to share before you can use
I just shared by Bluetooth but didn't complete the send.
2. Noticed that if you remove some apps after you install Next Launcher the icons remain in the apps draw and cannot be removed although they are unrendered. You have to reinstall the launcher
3. Only one dock drawer
4. Cannot independently choose homescreen/app drawer wallpaper
5. But smooth and very nice tactile effects - pressing, sliding etc
6. If you use Go Launcher you'll recognise it - Id love to have these Next additions available OVER the present Go Launcher rather than as a separate launcher
Interesting and stable enough to use full time
I've added it to my Launcher Switcher
Good stuff, thanks

RAM??? Go Launcher used to hog up around 30 MBs if i aint mistaken. How is this in comparison?
I kinda have a lot of apps that need to be running. That is the reason I am inquiring about RAM.
Hi all as the topic title
how to add the widget in stock lock screen ?
already google for it, must use 3rd party app like widgetlocker
but I prefer stock lock screen, anybody know how to add widget ??
*google now just got update, and I saw what new got widget in lock screen, but no idea how to add it or any other widget at all
anybody can help ? thanks
as you said it yourself there is no option to add widget on lockscreen on stock samsung.
only aosp roms or 3rd party lockscreens.
In settings you can choose widgets to add to the lockscreen, but only some samsung/google widgets are available.

No idea, since Google now updated yesterday, 4.1 & above can add widget in lock screen
Yet, I also saw somebody add widget in their lock screen like weather and clock
That why I ask about it
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
edit, cant be bothered
What google have updated is the google search app(aka Google now) which now supports widgets.
In android 4.2 you can add widgets to your lock screen as well as the home screen.
You can insert weather at your stock lockscreen if you're running sammy rom via lock scren option, and you can enable dual clock as well but they're not widgets.
If you want to have the ability to add widgets like google now you have to use 3rd party lockscreen or aosp rom as i mentioned before
I would love this!
get Widget Locker or flash the leak
Found this awesome new app for making crazy custom widgets. Perfect for a main homescreen widget or if you're on aosp as a lock screen main screen widget to replace the chronicle clock widget, which is how I'm using it. Obviously would also work well with widgetlocker. They give u a whole bunch of great starting points to work from too. So even if you don't feel like taking any time to customize your own u can still get a sick comprehensive widget. I did a little customizing in mine but not too much...about 15 mins worth maybe. Here's some screenshots and the market link:
