I use Widget Locker and it's quite good, there are a lot of themes available and it works good in almost all the case. I found only a little glitch, when you put the phone in airplane mode you have to unlock two times cause the stock lockscreen appears after you unlock with widget locker. The previous sentence is a mess lol.

Widgetlocker is great.
but you have to pay
I see and there is no trial version to test it, but the app seems nice.

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

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.

Someone mentioned this app a while back. Basically a lame version of what is to come with ICS. This works by unlocking certain apps with your face, not as a lock screen. So a work around for that obviously is setting it up to lock a custom launcher such as Go or that ugly iphone one.
My question is is there any way to make the twlauncher an actual listed app? It'll only let you select the apps in your app drawer. And obviously touchwiz launcher isn't there haha

If you buy the app you can use it as lockscreen unlock.

I've been having some problems with third-party lock screens, for some reason they'll work for a while. But then randomly they will just not lock the screen. Also, no matter what I do the stock lock screen will not go away. I've tried Go Locker, wp7 locker, and magic locker, and none have worked for me.
Is there any solution for this? I like having custom lockers so this is extremely irritating.

I'm using Go Locker with a WP7 theme and it's working. You also have to use Go Launcher and in Settings>Security change Screen Lock to "None"

I tried this, and it works fine for awhile, but after an hour or two the locker wont even pop up, it'll just show the home screen or whatever app I was last in.
The only fix I found was to disable and re-enable it, and thats only temporary.

I have been using Widget Locker for months and it works great. I had to set the option to allow it to keep an icon in the status bar, but once that was done it has only failed to lock once or twice and I use my phone a lot.
any suggestions for lock screen replacements? I need to have a lock pin for security. Dash clock doesn't seem to be compatible.

I typically use Go Locker, but I don't use the pin unlock. I know they have the option, but I can't vouch for how well it works.
Also, I personally make themes for it under the developer name NanoTech, so I may be a bit biased .

Hi everyone I've tried all alternative lockscreen apps on the market but they all share the same annoying bug : if I unlock sliding on a shortcut e. g. whatsapp. once I press back to quit the app and (logically) going to my home screen, it goes back to the app that locks my phone and locks it again. this is not really functional. all I was looking for was a way to have different wallpapers for both home screen and lockscreen. tired of having the same one for both. suggestions?

It's not a bug, it's programmed that way.
App called widgetlocker can do what you want.
