Helping finding nice lock screen themes - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

I'm looking for a nice, clean and sophisticated lock screen. I like the clean number clocks and where I can have the quick toggles on it as well. (i.e. wifi, BT, flash light etc)
Bear with me...I'm new and not sure how I get these themes on the phone. Do I need to have a custom ROM or will being rooted be enough?

Neither Root nor a custom ROM needed. All you need is a software called Widget Locker and you can use all the themes available with it. Yes, its a paid app but totally worth it.

Widgets

I got this app in the market today called "FreshFace" I must say i like the widgets. Is it possible we can extract the Widgets as .apk? Heres the link.
http://rapidshare.com/files/261375073/FreshFace_1.1.1.zip
The Weather widget is pretty nice, also the time one is too.
thanks for sharing!
Thanks, but what is this?
I looked for FreshFace in the market and it didn't find anything.
I think this is Tmobile's collaboration with aHome. I tried it out this morning and it was pretty cool, allows you to build your own "custom theme" which for non-rooters it is the best way out there I have seen yet.
And yeah the widgets were outstanding, I liked the text widget and there music widget actually had a back button on it (why is this not on any others?). Once people start dl'ing it and others starting making more themes and widgets for it, this could be an awesome app, possibly even a "must-have" for non-rooted phones.
Some more info...

That would be great!!
Yup...can't find FreshFace anywhere on the market. Anyone have the apk for it? Or know where I could find it?
download the .zip from the first post and rename it to .apk
the program is kinda like open home/ahome still no status bar changing tho
That did it....thnx much!!
If you go to Download More, choose the Widget category, and download and install the ones you want, they're available on the regular home as well as FreshFace. These widgets even stick around once the FreshFace is unstalled.
Thats just the extra ones you can download though, not the ones that come pre-installed with the app like the Twitter and weather widgets. Sitll though, the Wiki widget is pretty nice . And the ToDo one as well
only if it didnt take up a huge amount of space
total of 6MB
i like my ahome better though
hopefully they make it somewhat like freshface though.
but note FRESHFACE IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR MYTOUCH 3G NOT G1
it just works on it but wont work exactly as it should for a g1 since its built for the mytouch 3g
is there a way to get the widgets from this? Do we need root?
Thanks
any screen shots?
Will this work on CM 3.6.8.1 and Android plus theme? or will it kill it? Screen shots of widgets?

Widgetlocker themes

Hi, can anyone tell me how i am supposed to use a theme for widgetlocker at all please?
I downloaded 3 files and chose the option of install and add, but there is only my phone lock showing, no icons to choose from and no wallpaper that was supposed to come with it.
I have no idea where the file has saved to or anything, and well being new to all of this android stuff i m a bit confused....
thanks for any help you can give me.
Click the following-
Lots of themes
Google is your Friend.
Hope this helps.
mmm thanks for that buddy.
Just seems odd that i have done the above already but nothing has changed bizarrely.
Only the slider has appeared and i cannot it seems that i can see the custom made icons that were in the package.

Long press on a slider, or press menu then add slider and you can choose theme. It doesn't change the theme as soon as you install.

Hi
Quick question RE: Widget locker
I've only ever used this biefly on my old Desire.....this was some time back so my memory is a little hazy
i seem to remember that on occasions that it would either flash up the standard HTC lock screen or require me to unlock one then the other.....or something similar to this
Does this lockscreen work without the above issues (or indeed, any issues) on the S2 ?
is there any lag or any other nasties ??
Cheers

Works fine on mine so far. always showing the widgetlocker except after a fresh reboot. slight lag on the slider at times. my only concern was battery life but it doesn't seem to affect much.

How to get this theme ?

Is the nexus theme shown in the following P6 review available ? http://www.androidcentral.com/huawei-ascend-p6-review

I would follow this :
1. Change your home screen.
nova_jelly_bean
There are a lot of cool options for launchers, but Nova Launcher is probably your best bet for this purpose (Play Store Download Link). Simply using the default settings of Nova immediately makes your phone look a great deal like stock.
2. Customize your “look.”
holo_iconsYou’re also going to want to change your icons. Holo Icons is filled with stock icons, and looks great with Nova (Play Store Download Link).
You can even download stock wallpapers for an even more Play Edition experience. The Play Edition devices come with a new SunBeam live wallpaper, which you can download for your device for free (Play Store Download Link). If you’d rather have the other, non-live wallpapers that come with Jelly Bean, you can also get those in the Play Store (Play Store Download Link).
And if you want that minimalistic clock you see above, you can get that too, with Clock JB (Play Store Download Link).
3. Change your lock screen.Jelly_Bean_Search_Widgets_and_Halo_Launchr
The lock screen is the part of your device that you see the most often. Just like launchers, there are many options for alternate lock screens as well. For the purpose of making your device look like a stock device, Holo Locker is your best option (Play Store Download Link). It has many customization options, it’s stable, and it looks cool.
4. Install Google apps.
google_apps
Stock Android devices come with only Google created apps. That includes the stock keyboard, which Google released on the Play Store a few months ago. Also make sure you have Gmail, Maps, Chrome, Calendar, and any other Google apps you desire. You can find them all in the Play Store through this link.
dialer_cameraYou’ll probably notice that there are some stock apps that are on stock devices, but that Google hasn’t released to the Play Store. You’re not going to be able to find all of them, but some, like the Camera app, complete with the awesome Photo Sphere feature (Download Link) and the Dialer (Download Link) have been leaked for you to enjoy.
5. Make all of these apps default, and disable bloatware.
While setting up these apps, some will prompt you to make it the default app, but others will not. Make sure you make all of them default, so they will open automatically whenever you want to use them. You can do that using a very useful app called Default App Manager (Download Link).
Disabling_Apps_429
If your device isn’t stock, it comes with a lot of your carrier and manufacturer’s bloatware. Without rooting, it’s hard to get rid of it all, but if you go into Settings / Apps, you can individually tap on the bloat apps and manually disable them. For more information, check out our guide on disabling bloatware. Also, if you’re using Nova Launcher, you can upgrade to the premium version and make them disappear from your app drawer and have them out of sight.

here is mine screen ###
I´m using Apex Launcher with the Jelly Bean 4.3 HD Theme. It replaces the most Huawei icons with the default android ones. Tried Nova first, but placing widgets at the home screen doesn´t work with it.

I have managed to reach their dowload site of that second theme:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3818376665&uk=3406717033
Use google chrome browser and translate and click normal download.
This is theme section of forum. Many themes there:
http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=44
How to download:
1) go to a china theme thread and the end of the first post you probably see a locked link. It gets unlocked only when you reply to that thread.
2) On clicking the locked link, you probably end up in signup/login. I already had account on english forum, i just used that and password in the two sections. But im not sure if that actually created new account or logged in same account. The login id is done using email id. So email id and password.
3) after typing email id and password, it led me to a page with a single section to type. I was stuck here. But got around it. It basically asked to type a nickname. So type forum nick name.
4) now that you successfully logged in, reply to the topic to get theme unlocked
I have installed it. Freakin awesome. Customizes the whole thing. Cant sleep today.
I tried these three themes:
http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=193267&extra=page=1
http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=194645&extra=page=1
http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=192683&extra=page=1
Works fine. No issues noticed yet. In two of those themes, you wont get the clock as shown in screenshot. Its maybe a separate widget.
Also one of the theme, the screen lock is different from screenshot. There is no lock icon anywhere as supposed to be according to screenshot. But just swiping over screen unlocks it in a different way which looks cool by itself.
Note that the themes section does not come under a "p6" section. So themes could be for other EMUI versions and other models. I dont know if problems might happen if other used.
Tried this holo theme:http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=78602&mobile=yes
Very beautiful too. But again, although on the details it mentions that widget has been customized, yet i dont see where that is. I dont get the clock widget as shown in screen shot.
thanks so much

Can you share this themes, here pls.
Thanks in advance.
Remember a majority if not all the themes located on vmall's website automatically append the .txt extension. Just rename the extension to .hwt and copy to your themes dir located on internal or external sd card. The themes app should automatically scan those directories and import on opening.

New Miui style Huawei P6 Theme
Enviado desde mi HUAWEI P6-U06
I tried this flyme 3.0 theme:
http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=196888&extra=page=4&page=1
Its a neat and sweet theme but a little incomplete. The folders open as opaque window which is unique, but the font within that is in a black color that is not visible. It should be made white, and also the homescreen should be dimmed out a little more when opening folders, so that the opaque folder does not cause stuff on homescreen to show up in folder. The dialpad could have been made with a flatter keypad and a color that matches theme overall, but that isn't really a problem. Also a couple of icons have not been updated and may look out of place.
If someone knows how to edit this theme and fix those issues, it would be great.

Black settings... and black other menu screens

Is there an Xposed module or some other way that anyone knows of to make the Settings black themed instead of white?
The amount of light that occurs with the white background sometimes hurts to look at.
Is there a night mode or something that I can do (other than flash a custom ROM)?
Thanks in advance.
Download and apply a dark theme off the theme store and it will turn the settings and toggles all dark.
Thanks! There's nothing in xposed that can do that though? I didn't see anything, but I didn't want to have to look inside every single module?
Answer found.
Care to share?
Sure. I could NOT find an Xposed module that did this (although I would think it to be really simple).
So I ended up just using the free Samsung theme that looked like space. Really neat - themes a lot more than just the settings.
I had trouble locating the Samsung theme app in Apex, but once you log into your Samsung account, I believe it brought it up.
Was definitely worth checking into.
Thanks for the help.

I'm using SkyofIllusion, but I downloaded ForestofIllusion too, but I don't like that the mystical deer is only shown on the lockscreen and disappears when you unlock the device.
Both good dark choices that apply in all the right places.

This is the Hologram theme which is a good alternate dark theme. It's not just a black background but uses background images.

Theme that ONLY changes the quick toggles?

Does anyone know of a theme in the theme store that is virtually the same as the default theme but changes the quick toggles / notification pull down?
Iam happy with the default theme but hate the white/blue look of the quick toggles and thats all i want to change!
Iam not rooted plus good lock is not available in my region to download as far as i know so i was hoping i would find something in the theme store?

You looked in the Galaxy Store for it? It's not in Google play....?
Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk
When you say "not available in your region" do you mean through the galaxy store? I see that Good Lock and its plugins are available on apkmirror.com.
Yeah in order to install Good Lock i had to first remove my sim card then turn the power off and back on. Clear Cache/data for the galaxy store app. Download a VPN and change region to U.S. and then simply go back to the galaxy store and its there! Download any extensions you need too etc before you go and uninstall the VPN (unless you wanna keep it) and thats it
Does exactly what i want it to do although id probably prefer themed suggestions rather then having to create it yourself (Took me ages to get things who i wanted them) I also suspect that my battery might be draining a tad quicker since downloading good lock too. Not rapidly but there seems to be a small increase in battery drain
you can try the Good Lock alternative - Nice Lock, it works exactly like the Good Lock

I went and got good lock so its all good now Nice lock had ads and i still needed to download the apk modules so it made more sense just to download goodlock!
Only down side is i think iam seeing a slight decrease in battery performance. Nothing drastic though
you can use nicelock for that

You can use synergy, but its expensive + you will have to buy a substratum theme, not reccomended, but if you can then you can only select the overlay you need for example qs panel.
