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.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread so bare with me.
The MIUI ROM has a lockscreen I really want similiar to the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. Is there any way to port just the lockscreen and install it on a rooted Incredible 2 with GB?
Or is there a reliable app that does the same or close to it? Paid or free is fine as long as it's working. I tried Agile Lock.
Thanks
Q and A goes in the general forum. (For future) And if you are ROOTED and have RMK ginger sense on your phone there is a flashable zip that will put it on your phone. It even more in depth than the MIUI one.
Its a port from sense 3.0. Under customize you can change the lockscreen between things like wallpaper or weather, ect.
Heres the link.

thank you but I believe I mentioned I tried Agile Lock. If not, sorry but what I didn't like about it is more than a few times I would unlock the screen and then the next screen would be the HTC Sense lock screen. So basically I'd have to unlock twice. I did end up using the link provided above. Thanks to all who replied.
Miui locker works excellent free in market is the best over a hundred lockscreens to choose from.

I am on CM7, installed this, but didn't work for when I enabled it, the lockscreen was skipped. How do I (I guess) turn off the cm7 lockscreen so I can use this?
Just downloaded. Works great and it's a nice addition to the ICS 2.1 theme since there is an android 4.0 lockscreen.
What I hate is that the lockscreen is translated but... the original characters from the previous language are still there. Kinda ruined it for me. I won't be using it till that can be fixed. Otherwise it's perfect.

Yeah some of the lockscreens have Chinese characters, and others don't.
I actually posted this app in zandermans thread last week.

I was surprised it didn't get more attention. The lockscreens are my favorite part of MiUI.
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

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)

I'm running the HyDrOG3N ICS ROM and am very happy with everything other than the lockscreen. I generally hate Touchwiz but after installing the official update on my girlfriend's phone, I find the lockscreen to be much better. If you get a new SMS then it appears on the lockscreen and you can swipe it to immediately go straight to the new message. Similar functionality for missed calls.
Is there any way to get the TouchWiz lockscreen on my ROM?
Download Magiclocker. There's a theme by h_zee13 called Galaxy Note which is exactly what you're after. It is a paid app though.

It's pretty useless since you can just drag down the notification bar on the lockscreen nowadays

I hate touchwiz too!
I ended up going back to a stock Samsung ROM in the end. I have to admit, as much as I used to hate touchwiz, I find it a lot more functional than vanilla ICS.

this app is pretty useful
its called widgetlocker lockscreen. its a paid app though but it has a lot of lockscreens and you don't have to be rooted
i can't paste the link here as I don't have ten posts yet.. sorry bout that
I would like to has anybody found a way to to change or add icon packs while remaining on stock touchwiz launcher now I'm rooted at this time but I would like to keep touchwiz launcher but change how my icons look any help would be helpful

It's very simple actually to change apps and system icons if you are rooted and running custom recovery. That's how all available themes works. Launcher doesn't matter.
Get some theme, take a look at the zip folder/file structure inside and you'll see how easy is to replace any kind of apk resources making your custom icon pack.
Try anycut or bettercut and or desktop visualizer.
