[Q] Lock Screen? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hm, after some searching, still cant find how to do this...
How do I change the default lock screen? Im using CM6 and cant stand the default lock screen. I got some app called GOTO, but its more annoying than what its worth. Any ideas?

uh...there must be a simple way

Widget Locker is a great app that allows you to change the lockscreen to several different types, even rotary.

WidgetLocker Question

I got this app up and running just fine, however, I do have a slight concern that I need help on.
My regular lockscreen is coming up after I slide to unlock using WidgetLocker....so I have to slide twice...I've searched Google, XDA and looked at all the WidgetLocker settings but cannot find anything. I have also tried two different lockscreen suppressors but no go.
Help, anyone? Sorry if its a repost and I couldn't find the exact thread that dealt with this, if any.
TGIF everyone
Found this on WidgetLocker Site:
Can I use the Android 2.2 PIN/Password lock?
Yes, but on non-Sense devices it will not be as seamless as the pattern lock. After unlocking WidgetLocker you will see the stock unlock screen, and after unlocking that you will see the PIN/Password entry. On HTC Sense devices the middle step is bypassed, but I have not yet found a way of doing this on other devices. I am looking into the manner.
Question answered..I think, but if anyone else can post if they have disabled the Android lock, I would appreciate it.
(Using stable CM6 at the moment, non-sense)
Have you tried looking in "advanced" and unchecking "retain system keyguard" in widget locker? I believe having this option checked would induce the behaviour you are experiencing. I would test it myself on my phone, but my lockscreen settings are completely bastardized. I manually removed the sense lockscreen so things behave not as planned but exactly how I like.
Disable the lock completely,app called no lock.

Death : I have that option unchecked already.
Gmaine : I tried 'NoLock' and another 5 star rated..or very close to 5 star rated app which I forgot the name to. Any particular order this goes in? Because I just have WidgetLocker running, and downloaded 'NoLock', enabled it, locked screen, unlocked and saw the same 2nd lockscreen after WidgetLocker's...
Nope no order,i was on a sense rom tho and the no lock did the trick for me.

Well, I just heard back from the main developer - it is a known issue.

Is there a way to change the lockscreen without root?

Maybe there is a setting that I am overlooking to change it
I hope there is, cause I hate it!

you can change the lockscreen wallpaper by going into settings / display / screen display. There is a section for the lock screen. Just click on wallpaper and you can change it. Took me a while to figure that one out.

Looking to replace the lockscreen myself, but in the meantime you can at least change the image on the stock lockscreen by going into the gallery, selecting an image, hit menu->Set As->Lock screen wallpaper
better than nothing!
got it thanks
I used to use WidgetLocker on my Desire when it was still running Sense. It worked generally well. Sometimes it would clash with the Sense lock screen and I had to go through the Sense lock screen after the WidgetLocker lock screen. Though most of the time it worked fine. Maybe it wont have any problem with the Touchwiz lockscreen.

Try Ripple Lock, it's a Honeycomb lock with a single pulltab in the middle. It will replace your lockscreen without root, there is even an option to fix double lock (Galaxy S issue), you will need to enable mode 2.
here's what is looks like.....
I'm using widgetlocker. Put it on my phone about 5 seconds after turning it on. Has been working perfect with no issues.

I have a passcode enabled and my lockscreen is only the screen where you are suppose to enter the passcode. How would I make the lockscreen be a normal lockscreen where I have to slide to unlock and then enter my passcode?
Ditto...WidgetLocker for me as well. Simple quick and easy.
I use lockbot.

Unfortunately you are out of luck on one count. Adding folders on the app drawer might be available on certain launchers but none I can think of.
To enable home screen widgets in your lock screen go to
Settings > lock screen and enable home screen widgets.
You'll now be able to add most widgets to your lock screen.

thanks for ur information!! But i dont mean widgets. I can put widgets. I mean when you lock then open screen there is a screen which allows you to unlock. You basically swipe onto lock image and unlock. Around that circle there are 6 lock icons which i can swipe onto. But i wanna changr some of em into google search or maybe facebook to swipe onto. Makes sense? Sorry if im unclear becuz of being nonenglishspeake. Try to understand what im saying please.
I can change them in cm 10 but not in paranoid android. Cant find how to do

Ahhh gotcha sorry.
There is no option for adding to unlock circle without getting an app like WidgetLocker and making one yourself
You can add lock screen short cuts though that will add tiles above your lock circle. Setting > lock screen > shortcuts
If you are really insisting you need it I'd check out PACMan I believe that is an option in that rom while still keeping the ParanoidAndroid base

GO Locker

Has anyone been able to get Go Locker to work correctly on their phone? I am just using the default theme but it seems there are various things that don't work. Like using the Motion Gestures will just bypass the Go Locker lock screen (password/pattern etc) or if you click on the Home Icon, it will bypass the lock screen as well. I've tried various things but it doesn't seem to work as it should...
So... no one uses GoLocker?

LG G4 Lockscreen

Hey, I HATE the default G4 lockscreen. I have tried a couple of the 3rd party ones, (CM unlock etc) but non of them are doing it for me.
Anyone have any suggestions on lock screens for the G4?
I like C Locker from the Play Store on my G3. Requires root.
I too hate the stock LG lockscreen, the animations are SO tacky. Is there any lockscreen replacement that works with 1. Encryption and 2. Smart unlock (Bluetooth paired devices)?
Would love a proper AOSP replacement, or at least removing those horrible animations.
Ever since I debloated, I can only use the stock wallpapers on the lockscreen. Not sure how that happened, haven't bothered to fix it, but it's kinda annoying.
Try Hi Locker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
Every I change my lockscreen wallpaper it reverts to the default one after a while. Anyone know a fix for that?
I tried some third party lock screens, but none really do the job. C Locker is closest but even as a system app, it doesn't totally lock down the device. When you open the camera/phone apps from the lock screen, they aren't opened in secure mode, so e.g. the camera app will let you browse the photo gallery, the phone app will let you call non-emergency numbers and open the contacts list, etc. It's also possible to open the recent app list, even though it's supposed to be blocked.
Also, all of the lock apps require first swiping to open the PIN entry keypad. I wish it was just automatically displayed like on the stock lock screen.
Really, my only gripe with the stock locker is that the buttons are so ugly and it keeps reverting to the default wallpaper. (But I love that with C Locker, I can add DashClock widgets... can't believe Google removed such a nice feature! But I don't want to use it with these security issues...)
Also C Locker does have a nice trick to block the home screen by installing itself as the home screen (and then launching either the lock screen or your actual home screen app as appropriate), but it has an issue with ADW Launcher, that causes it to run whatever action you set to the home button, every time it's opened. (I guess it launches the real home screen before you actually let go of the button.)

I have the same issue. When I reboot the lockscreen wallpaper reverts back to the default LG one. Have you discovered a fix?

I was not able to resolve that issue. Sorry.
I'm having another annoying issue ever since I installed XPosed. Sometimes the 1 key on the PIN entry just gets stuck and won't register. Only fix is to open the camera app and close it again, or reboot.
It might have to do with GravityBox lockscreen mods, since some of them broke it completely (just blank screen, no way to unlock); fortunately I could still reboot, and the problems wouldn't happen the first time after booting, so I was able to revert those tweaks. But even with all of the tweaks disabled, the stuck 1 key still happens at random.
So I figured out the stuck key issue. An app called Text Aide uses XPosed to force all text to be selectable by double tapping. That applied even to the lockscreen PIN entry buttons, so double tapping them (when typing repeated digits quickly) triggered the selection behavior, and then the button wouldn't respond. Removed that app, problem solved. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to prevent it applying to the lockscreen using the app's blacklist function.

Removing the stock gallery app means you can't change the lockscreen wallpaper.
(I know its been a year but just incase anyone is reading)

With the stock Gallery app I can change the lockscreen wallpaper, but after reboot it goes back to the default image.

Did you disable the default LG Gallery app? I heard that this causes the issue you described.
