hey guys i found this fooling around on the market thought you might like it:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free&feature=search_result
works on any android device pretty much!
Ehhh, not really a fan of having ads on my lock screen. Won't buy it until I can see that the dev will support it.
Would love to have the honeycomb lock screen, but I'm willing to wait for it to be baked in once google lets the source go.

Good lookin out! I've been wanting this forever! Freakin sweet as an apk. The ads kinda suck but its super clean.

Works really well. Ads suck tho lol

Sounds cool. For those that use Adfree, does it remove the ads? LOL
banging on fools from my HTC Troll
agreed with the ads sucking lol
havent tried ads free it may work
Also curious if anyone will notice any negative effect on battery life.

Adfree works with this, though you'll have to reboot after turning it on. Other than that, works great with CM7 nightly 95 with the stock lockscreen disabled. No noticable battery issues yet either.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
yup with no ads on and disabled lockscreen and after a couple of days i can say it does no drain battery and its working great!
I really like the unlock screen I can say adfree does 100% work on removing the adds. I have found that you have to put it on the ignore list with task killers otherwise when u use the task killer it turns that lockscreen off. It was working great for a day or so but now both stock lock screen and new lock screen come up so I have to unlock it twice, does anyone know how to remedy this? I would like this intergraded into the rom or a zip file you could flash, could someone do that? I'm running cm nightly 99

Go into the tablet tweaks section of the cm settings menu and turn off the lockscreen. That'll fix your double lockscreen problem.
The added bonus with that fix is that you'll have full access to the notifications pulldown before you unlock your device. Really useful for checking messages and using the lockscreen toggles.

If you want to get rid of the ads, download adfree from the market and hey presto no more ads

I bought it to support the dev, more people that buy it the more inclined he is to keep supporting it.

Widgetlocker is great.
but you have to pay
I see and there is no trial version to test it, but the app seems nice.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
You will not regret widgetlocker. Trust us. Its probably more stable than the lockscreen on my vibrant.

I downloaded it online to test it (and check it works on the defy with launcher pro) and after that I bougt it. Awsome app.
Love to have widget on the lock screen
Ok I'll try it and I must say it's quite cheap after all

Are you guys having luck with Launcher Pro on the Defy? My sister has one and I tried to install LP and it lagged horribly..could hardly even switch screens it was so bad

Works fine for me, actually improved performance a lot, you don't have a live wallpaper on by any chance?

Finally installed widgetlocker and I must say that's a great software. The only thing I'm missing is a way to launch it directly from a shortcut; anyone knows if it's possible?

in what respect? can you explain further? Where do you want this shortcut on the lock screen itself or on one of your home screens?
Sorry guys I must be blind: there's a specific shortcut created by the program itself which does exactly what I need
Thanks anyway higgsy ;-)

Is it strange that i don't use the autolocker at all? When i don't use the phone or put it in a pocket, it push the power button. That seems pretty much enough to shut the screen and block the touchscreen.
But the lockscreen would be of use if I often had a risk of something pushing the power button in my pocket...
That may be true, but I find the power button very inconvenient to use and when I need to take a quick look at the watch or missed calls without messing the screen a screenlocker is the best solution.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
On the bottom, it has a text showing from the person that last texted me. Just wondering how to stop it from showing up there because it defeats the purpose of having a pattern unlock if anyone can see who texted me. Please and thanks!
That's easy,just switch roms.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Stop cheating. People at least cant respond to the text with the patern unlock. But you could always replace the lockscreen with something.

Yeah, thanks for the helpful post. Because you obviously know enough about my life to judge anything. Maybe this forum is for help and not personal attacking. 3rd party lockscreens are lame, unnecessary and take up space. Went back to stock ROM. Thank you again for your help.

One thing I definitely miss on SGS3 coming from SGS1 and SGS2 was the ability to change the brightness setting from from the top of the notification bar. You were able to slide your finger left to right and be able to change the screen brightness.
I found an app called Display brightness that can do something similar and thought I'd share as I am sure a few of you might also miss the old feature. You can set a screen brightness slider anywhere on the screen and change its transparency. It works a treat to be able to change brightness quickly and efficiently.
Here is the link on Google Play if you want to check it out
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness
Gonna check it out, thanks
Holy crap that is awesome! Works on AT&T gs3. Thank you so much for pointing this out. Have to play with where I want it tho because it can interfere with the keyboard

Yeah its the best I've been able to find so far. Not sure why Sammy removed it from this phone but the app works. Finding a good spot to place it is key
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Feel kinda dumb right now, I see the indicator but how do I actually change the brightness?
Edit: I guess the bar was too thin. Once I made it thicker I was able to adjust it. Thanks guys
International version just got an OTA update that includes a brightness slider in the notification pull down. As well as adjustments to the minimum brightness for auto brightness
just tried this, and it is pretty awesome!
If you set all the transparencies to 0%, it works exactly like the stock s2 slider...except you can put this on any side you want. The key is figuring out where exactly to slide your fingers to get it to work consistently, but once you do its pretty awesome.
AAAA+++ Sweet!
very nice find. Works perfect.

Glad a few of you are finding it useful ! I still wish Samsung didn't remove it and not sure why they did. Every now and then I hit the brightness line by accident so I might try and put it in a different area of the screen to see which is the best place. That's the only tricky part. It is a nice app though as an alternative.

Hopefully we get it in us versions of the international just got an update with the feature back on the notification, maybe they forgot about it
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Oh nice I didn't know that. I had the international for a week until I sold to try the LTE and just know it wasn't there on either. Also on my sgs2 one of the newer firmwares removed it as well a figured it was intentional and too much trouble to add it. I hope you're right

Can anyone confirm if the OTA updates on some of the American carriers added the brightness slider in notification bar like the update did on i9300? Or did the update only remove universal search ?

there is actually already code in the tw_status_bar_extended.xml for this. it just isn't active. i noticed it when i was poking around there for my theme.
Just download notification toggles app free from the market it has a ton of options. Will solve the brightness toggle issue plus you can add short cuts to apps, reboot menu and a bunch more.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
Awesome app! I almost hope that the brightness slider doesn't get added to the notifications window...there's already a lot up there.
It seems some on i9300 forums are not liking the brightness slider added in a release and some are requesting devs to remove from roms. I'll keep this app for now as I think its great

I dont believe its actually on the pulldown.. in previous tw versions you just slide across the status bar to the right to go up and down.. i may be wrong about the new brightness alider though.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
This is really great. It's really convenient to set all the transparency settings to "0%" and hiding the slider at the bottom of the homescreen - just slide above the home button to adjust the brightness!
Edit: It works on the lockscreen too - wow!
It was working before the md4 update. I could delete from the pull down curtain. Now all I get is the notification without the delete /reply options. I have tried all different settings without success. I even uninstalled gmail, deleted data and cashe, reinstalled. No dice. I really liked to be able to delete without going to the app....
Sent from my Wicked Cool SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

if there are any other notifications in the pulldown (including one's that can't be swiped away) the option doesn't show up... I stopped using ds battery saver for this reason

Hmmmm. The only other thing there is the green lookout icon. I'll try removing that and see if it changes.

I went to lookout settings and turned off the icon. Now all works again.... I Never would have thought it was from lookout. I even sent them an email to alert them of that. They sent a reply in 5mins. Said it shouldn't do that....
Thanks again for helping!

Again, it's not a lookout problem, is a gmail problem.. nothing lookout can do to fix this, it would have to be coded into the gmail app to allow it to display these options when there is other notifications
Sent from my ANTHRAX sniffing GS3
I think the gmail notification has two modes: minimized and full (with buttons).
The notification only shows the buttons when it's the "top" notification. Apps like lookout have persistent notifications, so the gmail notification is never top dog and therefore doesn't go into "full" mode.
I know in 4.2.2, the method I described allows you to expand minimized notifications. I do a medium-length press and hold, then drag the notification down to expand it. I'll try to capture a video of what I mean (never captured video on my phone before).

Anyways anyone knows something about it.

I can't speak to the Internet app, as I use Chrome, and it doesn't do this. Are you talking about the immersive mode of fullscreen apps, like Google Play Books or YouTube? That's by design.
Although, I can't imagine the Internet app is supposed to do that... Sorry I can't offer much help. Maybe you could list some more apps that do it. What stock rom are you on? (Rogers, AT&T, etc)
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium HD app
I moved this to Q&A since it's a question. My attempt to answer your question:
I've noticed that some apps have built in menu functions and will turn off the keys. The custom ROMs probably have a toggle set that keeps the keys there not matter what. That's my guess without more info.
