Changing lockscreen

I've heard there are other ways to change the lockscreen other than Lockbot and Widgetlocker (both get forced closes & devel's don't have any solutions). I'm running the EC05+ ROM and just want to change from the stock TW lockscreen to the HTC sense lockscreen which I have got the APK from another thread. Any suggestions or is this an impossible task?

I heard there was HTC sense ports being worked on, but none were ever published. The lockscreen information is stored in the androidpolicy.jar, I don't think we have an app (other than maddoggin's) that can change the lockscreen.
Check the Themes and Apps section of the epic forums.

we have all the normal google lockscreens built into the framework, which is how they were enabled by maddogins port.... htc lockscreen would be a major overtaking

even if i have the htc sense lockscreen apk?

Yes, the htclockscreen.apk relies on rosie.apk(sense itself) and other various framework files to work. Not just an installable app.

OK, well a little disappointing, but otherwise sufficient. Thank you all for answering my question.

No problem. That's what we're here for

Is there a way to add home screens to the stock launcher?

Hi Guys.
The stock ICS launcher is superb. However with all the great widgets and folders, its a shame that we have only 5 home screens.
Is it possible to add two more home screens and make it 7 as I think thats the perfect amount.
Im rooted so any tips on how to do this myself and push it to my device or even better if someone has made the adjustments themselves and can share the file.
NOTE: I don't want any other changes to the launcher. I like the constant Google search bar integration and I don't want to remove anything. I just want 7 screens.
Thanks.

Not on stock. You'll have to try a 3rd party launcher. The cyanogen team put out Trebuchet launcher in another xda forum for testing. You can add home screens, even remove the search if you want. Personally it has been running smooth with no issues, but I've read of some people with issues (probably don't have a nexus)

Question about the lockscreen clock

Hi! I'm pretty new to the rooting world and this GW is my very first Android smartphone. I rooted my phone and currently using stock rom. I would like to know if there's any way to remove the huge clock on the lock screen without downloading any lockscreen app. Is it possible to customize it like hide it or change the font to an invisible one? The huge clock is blocking my lockscreen wallpaper and I hate it. All help shall be well appreciated. Thanks!

I think that is very unlikely to change w/o using third party app. U can try Go Locker. It can let u to disable the clock and date on the lock screen. Besides,
it provides quite a lot of customized theme too.

Use Go Locker is the best way for me
I think u cant do that thing

Thanks for all your suggestions. Is it possible to use the go locker while using the tw app? i like tw because i like the default look of gingerbread.

Lock Screen mod?

hi there, nobody posted any lock app thread yet so here it goes.
I tried Go unlock but i think it hogs the resources over time and become laggy.
anyone else can recommend a sturdy one to install?
or any good rooting mod for this to make it 100% smooth?

Try the MIUI lock screen. They made it free and available through Play Store. You have tons of styles, themes, and all you ever wanted from a lock screen..

thanks, tried MIUI just now.
It has the 3dot menu on the lock screen after setting lock screen.
so i suppose the 3dot menu mod will get rid of this.
still feel bit un-smooth with MIUI tho.
some reason the sense one is the best so far

Try this.

Does someone know a metro-style lockscreen that runs stable and hasn't got the 3dots menu enabled? I just tried a few but there was none that really worked. Unfortanetly, for I love the tiles' look alot.
Another question: is it possible to change the icons of apps on WidgetLocker? And is the 3dots menu disabled?

I run widget locker myself, lets you have all sorts of different unlockers as well as run widgets and separate wall paper, umoung other features, all on the lock screen.

Hello,
I use widgetlocker on my One X. Yes, you can change the icons af the apps. Also there is no "3dots menu".
When you install adwnotifier you also get notification-count numbers on the lockscreen like in the normal sense lockscreen (for telephone, SMS, Mail[GMail and K9]).
I like it very much and use it in combination with apex launcher on stock rom without root.
Only the sense3 lockscreen from widgetlocker is a little laggy at my phone.

Thank you. I've installed WidgetLocker now and I like it. One problem though: I've got some icons in .png format that work great with Apex Launcher. But if I try to add them in WidgetLocker, they'll get a black background instead of a transparent one. So, how can I use these icons?

[Q] Customize JB Lockscreen (mod?)

I'm looking for a way to customize the Jelly Beans lockscreen to replace Google Now (the one on the "up" position on the slide ring) with the Phone app.
I've seen that some custom ROMs have this, but I'd rather not flash a custom ROM, I just want to flash a mod on top of stock 4.1.1.
I did search the forum, but couldn't find one.
Does anybody know of a good way to do this?
Thanks!

learn. diy. watch how rom devs implement those changes.

If you don't want to flash custom Rom, get this app called widget locker. Which is not only customizable, but also really functional!

Thank you for the tip. I looked into this Widget Locker app, and it seems to be great feature-wise. But according to reviews, it seems to have several issues on Jelly Beans (slow/lags, makes user unlock to take a call, high memory consumtion, among others).
Ideally, I'd like a modded JB lockscreen to flash on top of my stock JB 4.1.1. Since that is already implemented in several custom ROM's, I figured someone might have done a stand-alone lockscreen mod to flash just that.
