Seriously mate have you tried widget locker? it's awesome - my most favourite app ever, well worth £1.29.
for those that don't know what it is heres a screen of my lock screen

oh yeah.. sry.. just checked the screens in the market and didn't want to test it...
but you're damn right.. it's wonderful..
may is ask which weather widget u're using?
thanks a lot for response

omfg: addon: suddently it unlocks to normal unlock screen?!!?! :=?
Beautiful Widgets - beautiful home weather widget. with my own custom theme I made by butchering some of the standard themes you can download
You have to disable the stock unlock screen in parameters.
I had the same issue ^^.
omfg guys.. no i totally ****ed up....
i rebooted the phone to check if it hat something to do with reboot...
not i see the first lockscreen.. the unlock pattern...
and when widget locker starts the whole phone reboots...
got about 3-4 seconds to do something...
fells quite ****ty.. ? ideas :=) (thx for responses)
OH _ NO
hmm.. really strange.. as last try i removed the sd card, just wanted to check it maybe :=) god interacts *sry above* :=)
but somehow.. now the phone stays on ...^^
u know where to disable standard lockscreen? in settings?
Its is location and security settings/screen lock
to be fair I never had to deactivate that, possibly something to do with me using a different launcher
thanks.. found out right now.. googled it :=)
but thanks anyway..
just inserted my sd card, and boot up again .. *thumbsUp* ... but figured out that pressing "load module" within motorla overclock.. also results in direct reboot..^^(
omfg.. no luck.. inserted sd card again.. now no lockscreen appears at all.. phone directly reboots.. :=/
:edit:by the way Higgsy.. lately i saw ur signature and felt the same way :=) my hero's on ebay.. right now ( ;=)
man, i'm so damn happy that my phone - at least- boots without sd card.. otherways... i'd really be messed up right now^^
okay i understand.. the motorla overclock (load on boot option) is stored on the sd card.. that's why the phone runs without problems... without sd card..
..hmm okay.. uninstalled the app.. and re-try again...
Problem solved uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the problem (milestone overclock)
thanks for the responses.. using widget unlocker now... if someone got two lockscreens as i had:
disable the integrated lockscreen in "Its is location and security settings/screen lock" - uncheck (quote)
best regards,
-
I solved the same problem by disabling Screen Lock . The only reason for having a screen lock is to prevent accidental key presses, and for me it's almost impossible to accidentaly press the power button. Even with Screen Lock disabled, when I receive a call I cannot acidentaly answer because there is a similar unlock to answer motion.
.. the money is really worth it..
at least.. i think...
(unlock pattern sometimes gets messed up... )
but settings are more than ... #1 :.....
and as a developer too.. good software should be supported... :=)
by the way.. me and my girlfriend at the western extremity of Europe (wuuhuuuuu )

Is there a way to display the notification bar but lock it?

I can remove widget locker from the notification bar but I can't remove the notification bar itself from the lock screen. Widget locker does have an option for this but it is only supported in froyo.

You can hide the notification bar in lock mode
go to:
Settings
Look and feel
Check "Hide notification bar" option.
like higgsy says.. locking un-available in 2.1....
hiding possible through settings.. look above thanks for the english translation higgsy

Oops I was getting confused. Its the show but disable the notification bar that is a froyo only option.
That's the option I would really like. Its going to be a long wait until froyo in Q2

Hi everyone,
I just downloaded a .cab for all tabs with a background and it works (after some fiddling around, I must add), only now when I unlock the phone and go to the home tab, I get a full on weather display all over the screen.
In this case (its cloudy where I am right now), there are small clouds all moving about all over the screen. I've looked for an option to turn this off only I cannot find it, can anyone help me?!
Thanks so much in advance!
And guess what this made me and mydexterid realise?
If YOU have a Sense 2.1 and you want the weather animation from Sense 2.5, you only have to install the .cab "Black HTC and Windows"!
The link is provided in post #3, thanks so much to the creator of this nice background as well as the fabolous, totally unasked-for-but-very-nice feature!
This is what it will look like; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0f54DmA4Os#t=0m34s
Are you using a stock rom with sense 2.1?
If so, what is the .cab that made the weather animation display all over the screen like on Sense 2.5?

It can't be.
I have a stock WWE 6.5 rom and I don't have the full screen weather animation, only the tiny one under the clock.
And as I read through lots of posts noone has this kind of animation with 6.5 Stock rom, only cooked rom can have it. And afaik it cannot be done via a single cab install...

You are 100% correct.. so either, I have just found the egg of Columbus or something has gone very wrong..
OHMYF...GOD!
I just installed that .cab you were saying and
I HAVE THE FULL SCREEN WEATHER ANIMATION TOO!!
I can't believe it was just like that. I think you should rename the title of this thread or something, because i'm pretty sure those 2.1 stock rom users don't know about this
I was eagerly wanted this since i've seen it on hd2 videos, but i just resigned that it cannot be done with stock rom.

If anyone is interested in replacing their default lockscreen, I recommend Widget Locker. It's on the market for 1.99 but well worth it. I tried them all, LockBot Pro, Lock 2.0, etc, however, Widget Locker is by far the best. Very smooth, no lag, does not drain battery or have any FC's. I've been using it for a couple of days now without any issues. It's up to you whether you want to put widgets on your screen or simply just change the background/lock style. Enjoy.
I also recommend Widget Locker..
Its afaik the fastest one..

I use Fency Widget on Top, then SMS Unread count for SMS and for missing calls...
Maybe a music player widget would be coul.
You can enable/disable interactions with widgets.
It would be very cool, if you would be able to hide widgets, if the are not used or sth (would need an interface for interactions).
Found it on market for 1.99 ??
OH MY!!! this app is so worth the money! so many lock screen options!
BEST!!
Sorry, I thought it was .99. I've updated the original post.
seriously this lock screen is perfect i would of paid more, thankyou OP i was looking for something like this
how often does the Dev update the app?
I wrote an E-Mail to the author, because during phonecalls the launcher was sometimes enabled..
After several days a new update where out with new additional features..
nice...now to replace the stock dailer with something quick and has full screen called ID and im set! anyone know of a good replacement dailer>?
does the drop/pull down music player control widget still function with widget locker?
Awesome! i'll try it out

I released WidgetLocker 1.0 on June 16th and it's on 1.2.2 now (July 27th). The version integer is at 12 but I'm not sure I actually released that many to the public (I don't always bump it for betas but do sometimes).
As it matures more the updates will probably get slower (And less necessary). But it's still young and already the best lockscreen on the market. And I have plenty more ideas and things to implement (And alas some bugs still to fix).
You can enable the notification bar in the widget locker lockscreen..
So the music player should work too.. You can also interact with the widgets if you press an activate button (which you can configure).

im sorry, but the music player in notification bar is diffrent from the music control widget in the default lock screen and enabling the notification bar would be defeating the purpose of the lock screen, i think.
i might try this though to check if the music player control in the default lockscreen will work with widgetlocker
As long as you do not press the "activation" key, the display stays black and you cannot interfact with widgets or the notfication bar..
I dont know the music player from the original widget locker..
Dear Dev, still loving the app, can you on your next release please have an option to play/assign unlocking sounds, that would be even better

For next release you'll get to play an unlocking sound. Release after that you'll get to assign your own. I'm trying to get the next release wrapped up quickly since it includes some Sense-Froyo fixes and that just hit the Desire and EVO.

Go to Agile lock settings and check wheather animations after unlock if at all you missed checking it.If that doesnt work, follow below.
uninstall agile lock and reinstall.
As an alternative, clear the data and cache of Agile lock and restart your phone.
Then configure the agile lock.
It should work fine then.

HI,
i found the MiLocker app.
it can apply a lockscreen for all phones, stock/rooted/CM or whatever rom/FW it doesnt matter
http://app.miui.com/index_en.html
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.miui.home
you can also get it from the market
here is the link and you can apply all the .MTZ files from XDA and else where
i tried it and it is amaing
have fun with this app
thank you, let me try
Of course it works on anything, its an application (apk) and not a MOD. Great find and thanks for sharing it.
Wanted an MIUI lockscreen without having to have to the MIUI ROM for a long time.
Thanks again.

It seems that if you reboot your cp the lockscreen doesn't work at all... I don't know why... Just sharing
I want more innovation.
I want to be able to go from the lock screen straight to particular apps. But the current ways of doing this have no security pattern (unless you also have the pattern after the MIUI lock, which is a waste if time).
I want to see multiple app icons on a lock screen and get to draw them in my pattern - best if both worlds.

Hey guys, over on the Post Your Homescreen thread, there are a number of people running stock roms but with a different colour notification shade and no "S Finder" or "Quick Connect" icons. I would love to have that. They say to do that, you'll need Xposed and Wanam but as far as I know, Xposed isn't working for stock Lollipop roms at the moment which is what I'm running. Is there a workaround that I'm not aware of?
Also, how can you change the icon theme on the Edge bar? Thanks a lot for your help!
Don't know about the buttons.
But the icons on the edge follow the touchwiz theme. So if you are rooted, you can use one of the apps to change the touchwiz icons, which then changes them on the edge as well.
If you are using, say Nova, this means you can actually have one icon pack for the homescreen, and one for the edge.
I use Galaxy icon themer, which works fine on Lollipop. There are a couple others, but I think they need xposed, which, as ypu said, is a problem on TW lollipop right now.
What model of Note do u have? if have 915G id recommend Alliance ROM can customize just about everything, or if have 915G or 915F then run Emotion Kernel which after you can install Xposed

Thanks for the tip! I wonder how I never came across them. I do have the 915G so the Alliance ROM sounds perfect. I just have a couple of questions though:
1. They didn't mention anything about the possibility to remove the Quick Connect button in the notifications shade, only the S Finder. Do you know if it's possible?
2. Any known bugs and issues? (since it's in BETA)
3. I've been having this problem "Unfortunately, Package Access Helper has stopped" when trying to install big apps from Humble Bundle or Amazon (under 100MB are always fine though). Others seem to have this problem as well. Do you know if this ROM addresses this issue?
4. If I do a backup of my system settings in my current stock ROM (using Titanium), can I restore them after flashing the new one? It wouldn't create clashes or disrupt anything? This is something I always wondered about flashing new roms.
Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for the tip! I wonder how I never came across them. I do have the 915G so the Alliance ROM sounds perfect. I just have a couple of questions though:

Heya,
1. in alliance can only remove both Quick connect and SFinder bar
2. Bugs: lockscreen effect don;t use ink, stick to tiles, the R from the clear button on the drop down menu is missing
3. Not had any issues downloading from Amazon, never tried Humble
4. Settings backup not good idea as Alliance ROM has changed settings options and I have found that generally best to start fresh
Apart from that had no issues myself

haha I see. I guess it'll all become more clear once I flash the ROM! Thanks again!
EDIT: Just spent the whole afternoon on this rom. Can't say I'm a fan. For some reason, I can't change the wallpaper. Even when I switch to Nova launcher and try to change it through there, the wallpaper still won't budge. There are also a lot of inconsistencies. For example, pretty much every theme I tried had some kind of problem with font colour being the same as the background in some menus, making it impossible to read. Usually appeared in the Reboot menu but some themes had it in other places too. Took me ages to finally find the right setting to fix that. Still getting the "unfortunately, package access helper has stopped" when downloading from sources outside of the Play Store with large apps (100MB or more, Amazon or Humble). I also encountered a problem with the sound mode toggle in the notifications shade. After switching the phone to vibrate only, I can't switch it back.
In the end, there just seem to be way too many options for what I need, which would've been fine if it weren't for the fact that it's so hard to find the options that I want. I'm gonna try the emotion kernel now
As far as changing the buttons and icons on the edge goes I just thought I'd throw this out there... I'm not sure about changing the look of the included factory edge panels if that's what you're asking, but there is an awesome app on Play that you can buy (which is a must have app for Note Edge owners imho) called "EdgeNavi Pro".. which let's you put practically whatever buttons you want on the edge and you can also "theme it" to however you like (there's also a free version which is limited but the full version is more than worth it especially with this phone). It doesn't have included "themes" so to speak but you can pick the color of the edge, change the icons of the buttons, pick the transparency, and so on. Anyway just thought I'd mention it because imo it's worth its weight in gold and it actually makes the edge worthwhile and useful finally. Hope it helps and here's a couple of pics just to give you an idea..
