Hello guys
is there a possibility to make a programm to lock a screen just as you would do on your PC after pressing win+L?
You know, there would be an (customizable) icon in the middle of the screen with currently logged in user and you would tap the icon a nd type in some password....or some gesture like circle or triangle or whatever...
There could also be a possibility to change backgrounds (just like you had a program for win Logon Loader)...
What do you think?
I personally don't like Slide to unlock since I am used to it from my ipod touch - but I don't like having it on blackstone...kinda sucks...
apple is apple htc is htc!
So what do you XdaLords think of such a lockscreen?
Thanks
hi, you know, if you press long the "shut conversation" button, then it locks the screen. it's the original lock, doesn't look so nice, but it's very efficient.. otherwise, the lock idea with the gesture is quite good, something like in winterface.. don't know, perhaps someone knows something similar greets^^
I dont have blacsktone yet...
I just had an idea based on communication here in the forums
ooooo i am so lookig forward to have one...hurray
I use sensorlock. You just spin the pone clockwise and it locks using g-sensor. Anticlockwise unlocks it.
stunning
Guys, this program is simply stunning !!!!!!
why dont HTC release this with the phone in the first place!!!!
I've been trying to find a legitimate way to add my information on the lock screen just in case I misplace my phone. I cant seem to find an app that will work with the htc lock screen and was wondering if anybody has stumbled upon a way to do this.
So far the closest thing I've been able to come up with is editing my banner from "Sprint" to my name.
Any ideas? Has anybody stumbled upon this when modding the lock screen?
btw i really really like the clear lockscreen and rosie mod by kon. great job!
You could make a custom wallpaper with your contact info for your lock screen and apply that. That would accomplish what you are trying to do I think.
You can find directions in this thread:

Seems like a good compromise for the vanilla lock.
I wonder if there's a way to do this with the htc lock screen. Only reason I like it is because of how it incorporates notifications.

Hi,
Is there a way to make a personal screen lock.
I'd like to have a screen lock like this
Thanks in advance
Sorry for my english
Get WidgetLocker...it allows you to add widgets to your lockscreen. It also allows you to change the way you "unlock" the phone (example, instead of "slide down to unlock", you can make it like the iPhone [slide your finger to the side to unlock])
I'll try it right now! Thanks for the fast reply ;-)
There are also some other apps to change the lock screen - try searching appbrain or market for "Lock".
The app "Lock 2.0" from Android Apps (filed in Appbrain under Entertainment) allows you to replace the lock screen with a custome one - I personally didnt like it too much, but I think that's what you wanted...
Hi I love the new "slide" lock screen. I love sliding the round "thingy" to unlock the screen or to get to the camera. I used to use the locker widget on my sgs2 but I want to stick to stock android as much as possible and getting rid of all those "addons" is a joy ;-) now the only thing that bothers me is that I can't lock my lock screen with the "slide" lock screen and put a pin in case I loose my galaxy nexus...(I know that sound cheesy) Can someone give me a hint? I do not want to use an extra plugin for this simple feature to work...
Cheers,
Silentbob
Options, security, use PIN unlock code.

Yes that's exactly what I would like... is it possible?
Cheers...
If you use an app like WidgetLocker you can set it up so that widget locker is your main lockscreen and you can make it look exactly like the stock lockscreen. Then if you enable pin unlock you can make it request for a pin after you unlock with widgetlocker

I'm confused here. Blur did this on my DX and it drove me crazy because no functionality from the slide lock screen other than vibrate adjustment. Does the OP want to have the slide lock on top so that it's possible to use the slide lock features on ICS? I would imagine with that a pin lock below, those features would still require pin lock entry. Perhaps I'm confused with the work flow that the OP wants.

Yup, this works perfectly.
Its dumb to have to slide to unlock only to get to the code screen.

Thank u for the time you have taken to write this help full comment.
Hi to all and thanks for your feedback. I think there is some need to better explain the reason I would like to use the swipe to unlock feature and at the same time have a pin lock.
I need a quick way to access to my camera app from the lock screen. I take a ton of images this way and I love the feature of the iPhone where you can take images from the lock screen very quickly but u need a pin to enter to the springboard. I hoped that this would be possible with stock android. As I asked in my first post I don't want to install the Lockscreenwidget. It has way to many options and some times it does not work. So now I hope that my intent is better understandable.
Thank you very much

I figured that's what you meant. Yeah, it would be a nice feature if you snap a photo or adjust the volume without entering the homescreen. Alas, to my knowledge, that functionality doesn't exist with a PIN. It's the app market for you my friend, and maybe Seekdroid in case you lose your phone and want to wipe it (assuming you are paranoid about security).
i just realized OP's name... how do you remember it O.O

My lock screen...
Hi,
I managed to get rid of the swype screen action with xposed and managed to get also the quick unlock feature as one can find it in the Iphone.
BUT, now with lollipop there is not CLOCK on the pin code lock screen.
So if I whant a clock I need an aditional lock screen that I have to swype just to unlock the phone?
Is there any way to get a clock on the pin screen or at least to see the status bar with the time, signal, battery..?
TY
