I've been searching the net for awhile bout changing lockscreens for my phone. and I can't really find a mod to change the lockscreen. I'm running cm7 and it has like 3 diff lockscreens, which is cool. but I was wondering is there anything I can do to change it to something different? I just figure maybe I'm missing something.

Have you looked in to Widget Locker? Might be what you're looking for

There are only so many ways one can unlock their phone, Widget Locker does, however, allow you to modify the look of your lockscreen and does allow you to make adjustments to unlock style.
I'm not really sure what you're asking so I can't give you a definitive answer.

I would highly recommend WidgetLocker. From my experience, it's totally light on resources and there are so many custom lock sliders out there to choose from. Plus WL has tons of customizations within the app itself. Check it out... but that's just my opinion...
+1 for recommending widgetlocker. As regards battery consumption, doesn't everything gobble up power like there's no tomorrow?
So yes it does lol. But alright i'ma get it.

Thanks for all the opinions

Firstly, I apologize if I'm off on anything I say here and am definitely open to direction. I'm a bit new to the game but have taken a deep interest in the modding community and modding itself. I generally just read from the sidelines but I seem to be in a pickle at the moment.
I am currently running ARHD 5.2.3 (Thanks, Mike!) with several Sense 3.0 mods including the 3D Rosie. I absolutely love it and it doesn't interfere with the mod or anything and the performance is still amazing. Well, I've been thinking about doing an actual case mod with a wrist mount and I remember seeing the HTC Flyer had the 3D Rosie in landscape mode, too. Now I'm aware of BeatMod, the Flyer ROM for DHD, but I'd really like to stick with Mike's ROM. Is there a way to get the .apk for the Flyer Rosie by itself so I can use the landscape 3D launcher or because of resizing and HTC widget issues will I have to use a ROM that is built around the Flyer port?
Im not sure but you can always try it. Download the Beatmod zip, extract it and search for rosie.apk. Do a nandroid, move it to your phone SD card and then replace the rosie.apk thats already there via Root Explorer.
That's true. I might give that a go tomorrow after a good night's rest.

I went ahead and loaded the .apk. It works to an extent before it force closes. Judging by the way its reacting, its having a problem with old 2.1 widget sizes. I lose the dock at the bottom completely (it might be there but below the edge of the phone screen because of size issues), Friend Stream doesnt show anymore, my news widget is off-center to the top-left, and when I go to add a widget via the personalize button everything is a mess and not as descriptive as it should be. When I fumble around and finally hit the right button for widgets and start looking through them it force closes. Any tips on the next step to get this functional?
Doesnt seem like you'll be able to use it without the Flyer ROM then. It wasnt designed for other ROMS and thus doesnt work properly.
BUT you might want to try to find out which kernel is in the Beatmod ROM, then install it to yours. It might make a difference.
I'm wondering how 3D Rosie differs from the Flyer Rosie as I am able to use it on ARHD. I'll probably shoot a message over to Seo and ask about how they modded 3D Rosie to work.

The only thing i can suggest to experiment with is the DPI. as far as I know DHD uses 240 while flyer uses 160. Try playing through LCD density changer as well.
Alright. I'll give that a go. I did read something about that while I was looking around. That could fix sizing but I'd still have to tackle function.

Good luck! Please post here about your results I would be interested in have a rotating homescreen on VU Rom
Simple question is there a custom cm7 lockscreen? I found one for metamorph but I can't seem to get it too work. I have it morphed in but for some reason a no go.
Here is what I tried: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602&page=85
You have to put the morph you want in the android themes folder open metamorph and hit extract new theme and then apply all sometimes you have to do it twice then reboot

I've never had good luck with metamorph, it seems really buggy to me. I'd like to get some lockscreen customization too, but I just haven't found a very good solution.

May not be what you want to do, but Widget Locker will allow you to do pretty much anything you want to your lockscreen. Using CM 7 you can also go into the settings for Tablets and disable the stock lock screen. It works out pretty well.
Is it possible to "transplant" an ICS lockscreen (ie from juggernaut 5.0) and install on another ROM?
I'm using MALICE now, with Eugene's new kernel. I'm tech savvy with some things but a noob with this stuff.

my lockscreen is transparent. I'm not exactly sure what's the process, but I had a picture from my gallery on there, and I flashed another ROM or something along those lines and the screen is transparent, probably because I don't have that picture anymore? not sure? You can try deleting the picture after you set it?
Sorry I don't know the exact way to do it, but it is possible.
What I did was download go launcher
Then I downloaded go locker then found the ics theme lockscreen then I set the default launcher for whichever rom I was running(don't pick go launcher). And boom ics lockscreen on the rom and you don't even have to run go luncher you just have to download it for the locker to work....probably not the way you wanted but that's probably the easiest way...ha

@teo032
I think he meant transplant not transparent. As far as making your lockscreen "transparent" goes, all you need to do is go to cwm and fix permissions, then reboot. It will remove the assigned lockscreen .jpeg file to none.
@evanladoux
Implementing a lockscreen to be built in to a rom is very long process and it requires that you understand programming fairly well.
Yea lockscreens never used to be hard, but in GB witb samsung, its a pain.
M&S
Thank you everybody for your replies.
I was looking to get a built in lockscreen rather than Go Locker, which is what I just went with.
I was hoping it might be as easy as unzipping a ROM, & rename/copy/paste a few files into the DD folders.
Its fine until we have a fully functional TMO ICS. I use Wifi Calling a LOT, so, the current batch of ICS ROMs won't work for me as a DD, though I appreciate all the dev's work to provide (ie M&S .. too many to list)

There are a couple things that I want to do but I can't seem to figure out, and I've searched the 1200+ pages in the Shooter ROM thread, and there's nothing about a how-to guide. Is there even something like this written for ROMs normally, or are we just kind of left to our own devices, as it were?
Thanks.

I don't have 10 posts yet. Most of the time, I get completely lost trying to find my own answers on here, and I usually end up giving up at some point.
I don't really need a how-to on ROMs in general, but every ROM, and every UI is different. Like, how do I change the icons on my lock screen on my Shooter 5.5 build ROM? Questions like that, how do I do this or that, not really a question of how do I install it, how do I wipe my cache, that I usually just follow the instructions for the ROM, but after the ROM is installed. Some ROMs have more settings/tweaks/features, and some have less.
Do you know what I mean?
Some of the themes might do it for you..

I need help with:
How do I change the 4 icons on the HTC lock screen?
Can I change where it says "Team-Nocturnal" at the top of my screen to something else?
Can I change the stupid ring unlock to a left-to-right slide, while keeping the animated sense htc weather background?
That's about it, thanks again if you know how to change any of this stuff.

4 icons- Click personalize, then choose the lockscreen you currently have, it should say apply and settings under it. Click settings and ir should have the 4 little icons and you can click one and re assign it with a different app.
Change lockscreen ring- go to settings>tweaks>miscellaneous and then find lockscreen style. It should have the one you're looking for.
As for the team nocturnal thing,, can't help ya there. Im sure MBQ can tho

Thanks, although it's annoying to have to reboot to change my lockscreen style. And it appears that the lockscreen style is tied to the weather animation as the "HTC Sense" style. I really like how fast the "android" one is with it's side slider, but there's no weather animation. These things are never 100% what I want, and it's really annoying.
Whenever I click personalize, it just goes back to the home screen. I've read that this is a ROM issue, but I've done 3 roms so far, warmtwopointtwo, shooter, and cm7, and all 3 of them have this behavior, is there an app I can get, or is there some tweak I need to do to get that to work?
