until Dev make it possible to block home button unlock, this lockscreen is useless and just another pretty lockscreen like many other in the market.
So far the only lockscreen able to block the home button in the market is Widgetlocker.
who need another lockscreen that don't actually lock anything since any press to a button you might do by accident in your pocket will unlock your screen.

This lockscreen's awesome! PLenty of promise. Bought the paid one straight away.

How do you prevent home button from preventing unlock in widget locker? I can't seem to find that setting.

This. I was about to ask if it fixes the home button bypass because it's pretty much useless if it doesn't.

Widgetlocker prevents home button bypass by effectively becoming the default launcher. So you set Widgetlocker as your launcher and then select what launcher you want Widgetlocker to launch.
To do this go into Widgetlocker Settings -> Advanced -> HomeHelper -> enable homehelper -> Select System Home -> select WL HomeHelper and tick the use by default option. Then select HomeHelper's Launncher and select the launcher you want to use. This will then prevent the home button bringing up the home screen when locked using widgetlocker.

Given what we're talking about that makes absolutely no sense to me. To use a simple analogy, surely a lockscreen application preventing the phone being unlocked with a simple button press is as fundamental to it's purpose as a steering wheel is to a car?
u guys still have beautiful widget or fancy widget unlock weather animation with this???

I have an app that does that, it's called WidgetLocker. And I'm well aware no one is forcing me to use this, well done for stating the obvious. Should all that mean I can't discuss the shortcomings of the application in this thread? Obviously not.
You seem to be completely missing the point of what a forum is for.

its actually full of bugs... if you press the home key and want to change its settings the lockscreen starts again.
And it does not support missed events.

I find that hard to believe. There is nothing in this lockscreen blocking the home button from unlocking the phone. I bought the paid version and even had a chat with the Dev about it and he is working on a solution for blocking the home button from unlocking but currently thats not possible so find it hard to believe it when your saying its not unlocking your phone

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

Lol I must have looked at that thing 20 times. Thanks!
I know I know it's something everyone has been asking...At least I think so....Been searching around the web and thought I would come to you guys as my first post and question! I know there are some apps that can provide notifications in the lockscreen so you don't have to type in your password or pin to see what they recently said, now my question...is there a rootable app, something that can change the current lockscreen on the SGS3 to have these notifications? none of them seemed to work or are really buggy and not supported anymore, I know Iphone has this, infact I think this is the only reason to get an Iphone, just for the notifications in the lockscreen! If there are any legit ones that work and people still know about them please don't hesitate to answer and thanks for reading!

Alternatives to Handscent: Go SMS (my personal fav -- can be put into a "lightweight" mode), Pansi SMS (simply awesome, lightweight, love it).
When you long-press the shortcuts in the notification bar, it takes you directly to the settings for that function.
If you have a pattern lock set up, if you hold the last dot the 4 lockscreen shortcuts pop up.
If you guys find other shortcuts lg has put in, please post.

When performing your unlock gesture, hold down on the last dot. The OP didn't mean the corner dot (unless thats the last dot in your gesture of course)
OHHH!!!! Wow that is sick!!! Thanks for clearing things up for me.
Edit: Still amazed by the pattern lockscreen gesture. If this isn't part of AOSP or Cyanogenmod, I think it should be. This makes opening apps a lot faster while still keeping your phone safe. Gotta say that LG has really impressed by this simple modification.
Honestly i prefer it to be the other way around - lock screen shortcuts,then gesture unlock. But glad this exists for our phone.

I'm just looking for a customizable/themable lock screen app. I tried go locker, and it's decent but it takes several seconds to respond to me pressing the lock button and generally feels bloated. Everyone seems to love this app but it really doesn't seem worth it. Are there any good alternatives? Obviously I've looked in the play store but I have yet to find anything that seems appealing.
I'm also open to any sort of hacks that can change the way the lock works, etc but there aren't any that I know of.

Can't believe I didn't think of that. I actually bought it a long time ago lol.
Another good one is magic locker

DashClock - a slightly different take on "lock screen apps".
I use this with a few extensions.
Beautiful design and excellent usability.
MiLocker is another good one. MIUI lockscreen.
Yeah Dashclock gets my vote as well. I don't like lock screen apps usually (like Widget locker)
And what about Zooper
Hey all, it's my understanding that Halo and PIE are built to work on AOSP based roms. I would love to go back to the stability and bonus features of sense, but having to have the menu button eyesore at the bottom of most apps is a deal-breaker. Is there any possibility of getting these addons working on a sense based rom? If not, are there any apps with similar features that can be used with sense?
I would also like to add a torch option on the quick settings menu if that could be done. I realize I can download a flashlight app, but I have been spoiled with having quick access to it on iOS 7 and AOSP.
Flash bonestock. It has a torch toggle, and also go to settings, display, and check "longpress home for menu"

Floating Notifications is an app that is as close as you can get to Halo. There is a free trial period for about 30 days.
As far as pie control, I think there is a launcher called LMT Launcher in the play store that has a pie-like fixture.

LMT launcher works, but it's not in the play store. it's on XDA though. just search for it.
pie control (which is in the play store) works as well, just not as neat as LMT.
sometimes, though, with LMT, it takes a few tries to get an app to start. it's annoying. if pie control showed the time and other notifications like LMT does, it'd be so much better.
Both of these look good. Do they allow you to disable the stock menu button?

My bad. It know it was included in a rom I was using at some point (can't remember which one) and it had been floating around in my TiB for a while now. I assumed it was available in play store as well.

Do you mean the three dots button? You can install a custom rom to do that or xposed has several modules that let you do that. Try Sense 5 Toolbox module.

there are no 3 dots on bottom of screen on my ROM.
technically yes, they can be ported, for example IHTFP69 ported HALO to TW on Samsung. No one said it could be done, he is a genius.

Replying here instead of in your thread in case anyone else is searching for this answer.
I am loving the rom so far, but I have two questions. The menu bar is gone almost everywhere, but it's still present in dolphin browser. Is there any way to fix that? It doesn't show at all on AOSP. LMT launcher is every bit as good as pie and the menu button being there prevents it from working properly.
I also don't seem to have a torch/flashlight widget in the quick settings. There is an app though which I can make work for me if there's no way to get it in quick settings. Just a minor personal preference.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I got the menu bar removed by changing a setting under display and gestures. It has the unfortunate side effect of making a long press on the home key open the menu as well, but it's still better than the always-present menu button.
