I'm a fan of WidgetLocker as well, but for future reference, if you simply want to disable the lock screen, there are apps on the market like No Lock.

Had this phone for Two days now and LOVE it. Way better then evo 3d I had. Only issue I have is I struggle to unlock it every time. Maybe the size maybe the touchwiz screen. Either way it makes me crazy. Anyone make a suggestion of a different lock screen that is stable and won't mess up the excellent battery life.
Btw I have no interest in rooting but don't mind buying an app if needed. Also I have no issue with other parts of touchwiz just the lock screen.
I use widget locker. You can set that up any way you'd like. I have the stock aosp lock screen. Does wonders.

Widget locker allows you to customize the lockscreen with a ot of different options. So the AOSP lockscreen is when you slide the icon across to unlock you phone. It is Androids stock lock screen that ships with Android if Samsung or HTC wouldn't add their own.
Agile lock is pretty good too. It gives you a lockscreen similar to sense 3.0

I replaced my stock lock screen with widget locker and haven't experienced any problems (including battery life). It could be that people using widget locker are placing battery intensive widgets on their lockscreen.
Yeah I haven't had any problems with battery life or any slow downs either. This phone handles the battery and speed well. You can set it up however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can even download themes. I just like it so much because I don't have to use the original lock screen for our phone.

Thanks again! I downloaded and have been playing with widget locker and love it so far. Only question I have is ... Is there some way to get rid of the icon in the notification bar that shows widget locker ongoing. I keep thinking there is something I have not checked and it kinda bothers me. Tried to find a setting to get rid if it but no luck. Thanks again

Is there an EASY way (or APP) to change the COLOR (not font) of the lock screen clock?
you have beastmod 4.0 huh? asked earlier but no one replied. OP of beastmod said he would changed it in the next update though

I use a replacement lock screen app called widget locker. As someone who hates the stock lock screen I can't recommend it highly enough.

I worked around it using the ICS theme. That cleaned it up. Very nice theme by the way. That black font over the white date was pretty ugly.

Actually I own W.L. but removed it a while back. Some of these apps make a simple thing into a complex operation. It just had too many options to keep track of.
I got a $10 credit in the mail and feel like it would best be used to replace the stock TouchWiz lockscreen. I've been using go locker for a little but it isnt very customizable nor can you use widgets.
I'd like something that is customizable, has weather and doesn't lag or slow down the phone.
Thoughts?
Widget locker is what I use. It's made by the cats that make nova launcher (I personally use their entire suite), and as the title suggests you can most certainly use widgets.

You too got a $10 gift card from the Samsung sweepstakes?

I have widget locker as well. But I don't use it much. I don't care for it really. Using the widgets is cool, but it always seems to lag or show my stock lock screen behind it for a split second
I also hate. . hate. ..hate the fact that If you unlock to a short cut, you go back to the lockscreen after. Example, I unlock direct to camera to take a picture, or to messaging to send a text. I close the app and then it goes back to my lock screen. I find that so irritating that it won't just take me home, like a stock lock screen will. So I just don't use it anymore. Besides I like the aosp lock screen many ROMs have included now.

Hi I don't know if it was asked before but I would really like to see a Blinkfeed Widget. I used the "Blinkfeed App" Mod a bit and thought it would be great if I could put Blinkfeed at a Page and look it up from there. I don't know how possible this is so please don't hate me... I'm no developer. It's just an idea I thought may be good

Hate to stomp on your idea but it's not gonna happen unless HTC makes it.
They haven't even figured out how to disable it, so making it a standalone widget would be much more difficult

With "they" he refers to the rom developers/chefs.
And indeed they Blinkfeed cannot be removed (YET)
Some devlopers are actually trying to remove it (I heard team venom had it partially removed)
Though none have been completely succesfull yet..
For now all we can do is wait.
There is however a way not to use the blinkfeed as your homescreen in every sense rom.. just pinch out and select any other screen you want as a homescreen, then pull it to the "" set as homescreen" text and release
This effectively makes the other scren your sense homescreen and makes your blinkfeed seem like a widget..
There is already a blinkfeed widget, it's stuck on the left page though.

Try Pulse it has a widget, closest you can get.
Anyone know a weather widget I can use on lockscreen that works like HTC Animated Weather? That made clouds, sun, rain across the entire lockscreen. I remember I use to have one that when it rained on one ROM you would see a wiper wipe away the rain drops but I can't find an app that does that. Using MOAR ROM with Android 4.3
Fancy widgets has that option

Thanks will check that out. Checked it out and does not work.. Fancy Widgets! Beautiful Widgets! Animated Weather! None work with MOAR 9 ROM. Maybe something broken with the Android 4.3. All I know is I can not get a single animated weather to work! Is there some mod that I can flash that will give me animated weather?
I wonder how to add weather widget in lock screen, too
I'm also using MOAR 9

From what I understand the feature is no longer available due to Google and there stupidity removing feature from the kernel. Why does the kernel seem to be getting less and less features as they update. Google we'll give you one feature but take away 2 or 3 but because of the 1 you will never miss it.. I really hate Google.
