Hi, anyone know good lockscreens that work with security? Because if i have for example widget locker, and have a pin code, ill unlock with widget locker and haft to swype the Sony Ericsson unlock across THEN type my pin in. Anyone know how to stop this? Thanks in advance

If youre rooted you can use the "Root autoswipe helper" in widget locker.If youre not rooted then I dont know.

[Q] Possible to customize the "lock" screen?

I want to be able to put widgets on the "locked" screen, so I just have to press the "home" button for a quick look at all my info display on my widgets and don't have to unlock and scroll to my widget screen. Anyone have info on how to do that?
there are apps for that like : http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker and there is a free one but I don't remember the name
+1 for widget locker works great for me.

[Q] Add apps to lockscreen

I have an unlocked, rooted CDMA nexus (no custom rom, it is stock.)
On the unlock screen, one can reach the Camera App and the Unlock app. Is there a way to add additional apps (e.g. SMS) to this unlock screen with the stock ROM?
I searched the forum and saw info for WidgetLocker and Ripplelock but neither of those are what I'm looking for.
Can someone tell me whether this is possible with the stock ROM? If so, how. If not, are there other app solutions I can review?
Thanks in advance.
No, it is not possible. Widgetlocker will give you the exact same ICS lockscreen but allow you to do it.. I'm not sure why you ruled it out
You cab access the drop down menu from the lock screen and respond to SMS via that way

Lock screen picture

Is it possible to use a different picture in the lock screen to what is used by your theme/picture when the phone is unlocked....similar to the iPhone?
LT15i ICS with root
By default, no.
You may have to find a third party app on the market like GO locker to get that kind of effect.

Was worth a shout, cheers.
May have a look at go locker..
LT15i ICS with root
I would imagine a xml edit here or there might do it, so would Google myself if it was something I wanted to do.

[Q] SmS notification in lockscreen?

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!

Widget locker from the market will allow you to see widgets on the lock screen. So you will also need to choose a SMS widget, plenty out there

I tried the widget locker thing and it quite badly sucked....wouldn't have any haptic feedback even though it was clicked on, and when I pressed home button after I turned on the screen it would completely bypass my password which is stupid...

Alternatives to Handscent: Go SMS (my personal fav -- can be put into a "lightweight" mode), Pansi SMS (simply awesome, lightweight, love it).

[Q] Password lock screen with lock widget

Can I use password lock screen while I use lock widget. In CM10 there is way to do that. I have to tick something like show widget under setting. But I can't find any way to do that in stock ROM.
Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance.
