Im probably the only one who feels this way, but i think the touchwiz lockscreen is unsmooth and really tacky. It doesnt quite look right to slide the wallpaper away.
I was wondering how possible it is to port a lockscreen, or even just turn the wallpaper into glass, so that it slides nicer.
And yeah yeah i know "flash cm7" but i am not quite ready to leave some of the touchwiz features yett.

I'm sure it won't take too long to see some lock screen options.
But I do want to add my +1 for aosp and glass lock screen when someone who is capable has the time. I know the developers we have are pretty busy right now so I am waiting patiently.
By the way thanks for all the work done so far.

I was gonna start experimenting with my framework res tomorrow. I assume thats where the lock screen is? If someone knowledgeable gave me a few pushes in the right direction i could probably start working on it myself.

Exactly what Im doing.
Are you sometimes getting the Samsung lock screen after dismissing the widgetlocker screen? Seems to occur when I have done kind of a notification waiting.
I have not seen the two lockscreens overlapped at all.
Replying to bump.
Haven't really seen anything regarding this mod, and no personal luck with UOT Kitchen.
Anyone have an idea how to do this?
I'm on UnNamed and not too interested in leaving it for another ROM over a lock screen. And the downloadable ones mentioned always tend to overlap with the stock one which is even more of a hassle.

The stock lock screen is honestly pretty terrible. Laggy and pretty featureless. I've tried a few things from the Market, but as soon as I restart the phone I end up with two lock screens. Any leads?

WidgetLocker is the best replacement lockscreen app...IMHO. And tons of themes here on xda, I make WidgetLocker themes as well.

I gave this a try. I like how it looks, but it doesn't seem to scale up properly on our devices. Were you able to get around that?

It seems to depends on the theme. Also, almost everything's in Chinese. I like it a lot after a few edits, now I just gotta get media controls on the lock screen.

Yes the.lock screen is pretty horrible. For now I have just disabled it completely and I think I'll keep it that way for a while pretty nice

what do you mean?
Mine works just fine.....if your talking about the actually locks, you can long press on the locks and resize them. you have to be in widget locker to do it, you can't just do it from the lock screen.
so go to app drawer and open widget locker, long press on lock, resize
Im not a huge fan of alot of stuff on my lock or home screen, so for me the great alternative lock for me was sign2unlock.

The good thing about Widgetlocker is that it can be tweaked to have as little (or as much) as someone wants.

I'm wondering the same thing mate! Since all of the current ICS ROM's available
for the SGH-i717 right now are based on the official Samsung leak, I'm wondering (hoping) that removing the live wallpaper on the lock screen was a Samsung decision and not an official AOSP decision since there's now been an AOSP like ROM posted for our device (NOTEworthy, I believe it's called). If I find an answer/solution before the download link to the AOSP ROM is up, I'll report back in and let you know.
BUMP
*BUMP* PLEASE!
There are now 4 different ICS ROM's available for us and yet this issue still remains although rather minor it may be. Hopefully someone will have a solution for us soon. I'll keep researching.

Noteworthy is still based off of the stock SAMSUNG leak. It's not actually built from aosp.

I have live wallpaper on my lockscreen. Now I'm not using thr stock lockscreen I'm using Widget Locker, but any LWP I put on my homescreen, be it MultiPicture LWP, Beautiful Weather, or whatever, also shows on my lockscreen. Just my 2cents.
EDIT: I'm running ICS Seraphim First Flight stock btw.
how do you get live wallpaper on widget locker?
i don't get that option anywhere; when I am in the settings, wallpaper, my only choices are for things that will put only pictures/wallpapers, not live ones, on the screen
thanks

I'm assuming he meant you just set the wallpaper as live and it also shows on the lock screen.

I love LWP, but, because of what they do to kill a battery, the novelty wore off pretty quickly.
Am I the only one who thinks Google messed up many android features in 4.2?
1) Notification power widgets . now you need a 2nd panel for that.
2) AOKP allows revert to old style power widgets, but they are laid out poorly and less elegant compared to <4.2
3) Lockscreen widgets. Can someone PLEASE explain how this is faster/,more efficient than simply setting a lockscreen target? For example, soundhound ID now can be a lockscreen target. If you set it as a lockscreen widget, it takes more swipes/effort to get to.
.if you agre e or have any helpful workarounds for googles ridiculous decisions, I'd love to hear. Much thanks, all.

I 100% agree.
The lock screen widgets, very sadly, remind me of windows 8. There is no need to have x amount of lock screens. Press the power button and move the lock ring to what ever app you wanna open.
Aren't the notification toggles CM based tho?

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but if using cm10.1 you can enable the old style toggles in settings/system/notification drawer, check power widget and configure. You can also disable lockscreen widgets using an app from the Playstore named lockscreen policy. That pretty much solves your issues. Also, as mentioned those toggles were from cm not Google. 4.2+ are the first builds to have toggles.

At first I preferred 4.1.2 but after using 4.2.2 for awhile I really like it. I ignore the lockscreen widgets and with the toggles set to pull down from either right or left on the status bar it works really well.
I figured I had to adapt to stay current and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. :victory:

i just use CMs notification widgets its the same as the old one and i make sure the other ones dont pop up. as for lockscreen widgets. i dont use them much but i do like widgetlocker. that thing has so many different addons for notifications its pretty badass. better than the old one of just clock and weather and calendar. i dont use much of the other widgets for anything else though. you can set the lockscreen to always have targets as the primary when waking up so you dont have push the lock button then target what you want to open. then it ends up just working like 4.1.2 just you have a better lockscreen clock/notifications display.

Re: 4.2.2<4.1.2?
I must have some setting wrong, cuz sweep in my notification drawer just closes it. If I pull down from right edge, it does open tiles, though. Honestly, I haven't dug into the settings as much as I ususally do. There's just too many, it's overwhelming lol. Running mikeshepards release of rootbox. Hell, the pie settings, haven't even looked em hahaha

I prefer 4.2 to 4.1
Honestly i feel as 4.2 simply added more "sweets" to 4.1, and we have the choice to ignored these features.i love the toggles, one of the features im impatiently waiting for in the Evo 4.2 Sense 5 update. As far as lock screen widgets go i use one and only 1 widget, daily motivational quotes widget i disable all other ones (Even the camera widget), but for each their own. we could have updates like IOS where we get little to no new eyecandy to play and show off *Shurgs*
Is there no way to use this to theme the lock screen and remove the regular lock screens that come standard with devices?

Hi, unfortunately not yet, as we still want to make Themer as stable as possible before we move onto anything else. For now we recommend trying out WidgetLocker, as then you can change the wallpaper, and add in widgets from the homescreen to match the theme
