Hi,
Is it possible to use HTC lockscreen (as attached), on a Galaxy S5?
Or, is there any app that resembles HTC lockscreen for a Galaxy S5?
All I'm looking for is the ability to unlock to pre-defined app, say, unlock to whatsapp app.

You could flash a Rom that has an AOSP type lockscreen. I have an AT&T Galaxy S5, so options are limited with the bootloader, but Dynamic Kat Rom has a built-in AOSP lockscreen for which you can set the targets using the Xposed module Gravity Box. Works great. You might also take a look at the Microsoft Next Lock Screen.

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.

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
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.

OK, I went from the GS4 to GS5 and missing HD ROM (Hopefully its coming soon now that we have root & SS)!!! One of my favorite features was the option of making the transparent AcuWeather Widget on the main home screen. Does anyone know if this can be found somewhere? The playstore offers some options but I really like the one built into the HD ROM, with the animations for different weather conditions ect..... Thanks in advance!!
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.
