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 I'm running the Hyperdrive rom and would like to get this ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock ) lockscreen widget to start open on my phone. Right now it only displays the clock part and I have to pull the little transparent box down to view the notifications. I would rather have the widget be displayed like this
https://lh3.ggpht.com/2AQ5bvTEHRYpZq-p9RLW8J4aXOsNuhlESnChpmENIwWA847mXu44U-nU5i7XVVAQBl8=h900-rw
than like this minimized version when i first unlock the phone
https://lh6.ggpht.com/SBMy20caIxeM1B1f4SwL1pDAjUakwE6iRhLLfUEcM7BpIRL3Mi8XzKi2ZRSy_4GtPhIL=h900-rw
Are there any mods or tweaks to accomplish this? thanks

Those last two links don't work. Have you tried WidgetLocker and one of the many UCCW widgets? When I used to use a lock screen that was my set up. WidgetLocker also has a hide notification bar option so it's truly full screen.
Here are some options I found with a clock and dynamic unread message notification:
• Quick Settings
• UCCW Stripes
• Cabona UI
There's tons more.

Thanks for responding, but i'm looking to get this dashclock widget working. I uploaded the screenshots as attatchments so maybe you can get a better idea of what I am talking about. Right now the widget starts minimized and I have to swype down to open it which defeats the purpose of the widget. I think this is a feature of touchwiz, not sure though. I would like to start the widget in a maximized state so I can easily view all of the info it provides. I don't see how I can accomplish this with widgetlocker. Thank you for helping out though.
I would like to install a lockscreen app that is simple, nothing fancy and contains only the following:
time and date with day of the week
weather info with a simple sunny/cloudy/rainy/windy icon and degree
can display app notifications with the first two lines of the message, the screen wakes up when receiving a notification
there's a quick access button to the camera
compatible with the 18:9 screen ratio and MIUI 9
doesn't contain advertisements
I've tried a lot of MIUI themes and from all of them I liked the lockscreen from theme "Cynroi" the best. I used CM locker on my previous phones, but I just can't make it work on MIUI Global stable 9.2.6. I would be glad if you had any suggestions or ideas.
I've been working for a while to hide clock and date from AOD, so there are only notifications on AOD=>no battery drain (a compensation for led light)
first you need to have good lock (or nicelock)
then install this modified clock face apk (by me) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--HlHWgACXh1InPmcwbEdLSrRiyoM8bZ/view?usp=drivesdk
then choose the clock face from the app that doesn't have clock and date
note: the battery icon will still be present on AOD if you have any idea how to remove it tell me
you do not have the right to mod this apk or credit it to you
*Works on one ui devices .you have to uninstall the old clockface app
:good:
Hi. I just installed it excellent .. thank you very much, will you update the application as clockface is updated?

Well done! Could you maybe remove all clocks from the ClockFace app and only leave the empty one? Would make it easier to find.
Regarding hiding battery, cant you just edit the battery layout files and set dimens to 0dip?
Code:
layout_clock_face_common_battery.xml
BTW, nice lock is not needed for me. Only install and select clock in AOD clock settings
I wish you could manage to remove the battery icon
How do I undo the changes so that I can see the Icon again? I deleted via goodlock but I still cannot see notification icons again.

just choose another clockface or install the unmodified app and everything will return to normal

Could also set the visibility to gone in the layout file.
How do you recompile an sign the apk? Could also do some testing if you like.
This is GREAT, and just what I was looking for. Combined with aodNotify, all is well with the missing notification LED.
THANK YOU
Let me add my "vote" to hoping you find a way to hide the battery icon.
any update?
pleasee update this mod
been looking for this! thank you very much good sir!
Is it possible to hide the text that tells how long it takes to fully charge battery?
How to remove battery icon?
Edit : Blahhh. Sorry for double post
Any news about the battery icon?
@Ggggeorge
Is it possible to change colour of the battery icon on AOD to black?
I use a tasker profile to turn AOD only when i receive notification.
When the screen is off, tasker can't directly activate AOD without turn on screen. So i use tasker to set cusom values in start time / end time in the programs section of AOD. Thanks to this trick, the phone will activate AOD automaticly.
Thanks to this, my AOD is activate when i receive a notification for 1 hour (start and end time configured in tasker).
If i unlock my phone within this hour, an other tasker profile will set back AOD to "double tap to wake".
Hello, very nice tip for having only notifications on AOD !
I modified the Clock_face_mod_by_george.apk to remove the battery icon ; so now I have a totally black screen and only notification icon when I have one (or more).
I'd like to have Ggggeorge autorisation before posting it for the ones who are interrest on it

Hi. I would like to share APK. Thank you
I've seen several people complain about the default AOD lock screen clock size. By default, the system will show either a large clock when there are no notifications, or a small clock when there are notifications. There is no way to modify this behavior in the settings.
The good news is that there are a couple of Tasker projects that allow you to change this functionality. You can have Tasker show either the large clock all the time, or the small clock all the time - regardless of notification status.
You can read more about it here: https://www.xda-developers.com/tasker-can-help-you-change-the-size-of-android-12s-aod-clock/
PS - I have no connection to the developers that did this. I only saw the announcement and thought it would be good to share. Please thank and support the developers that actually made this happen.
I am doing the same with a persistent weather notification from AccuWeather. Pretty much any persistent notification will work.
