I wanted to try out the app and it's really cool what it can do and how it looks but it drained my battery from 100% to 70% in two hours and I wasn't even touching the phone. It was just sitting on my desk.

I've been using the program for quite some time and have not seen a noticeable drop in battery life (had around a day before I installed, still around that much after). Probably depends on what widgets you place on your lockscreen/your usage? I only have mClock and a series of unread count widgets, so little to no extra data usage or monitoring (i.e., battery drainers) than normal...
k I will try it out... and test the battery life of my phone
EDIT:
It does what I want it to do, but I don't know how to turn off the default lockscreen.
Like, the widgetlocker lockscreen is perfect, but everytime i slide a slider, it takes me back to the default one...
And when i reboot the phone, it takes me to the default one...
And also I can't seem to find an option that forces you to input a pin...
Try goin into advanced in the WL menu n then check root bypass of 5 second rule that might help

In the settings, under buttons & inputs, if you enable Easy Wake Mode, it'll disable the stock lockscreen (supposed to be the equivalent of using the No Lock app).
Under behavior, select appear on boot. You will also need to either set up the HomeHelper launcher or the root bypass as mentioned before (also be sure retain system keyguard isn't selected under advanced).
As far as using a pattern/pin/password, you will still need to set that up under your normal security settings (so you slide to unlock WidgetLocker first and then see the security input screen). Depending on what type of security and what ROM you use though, you might still see the stock lockscreen first though (basically is you use a non-Sense ROM with pin or password security).

Hi All,
I was reading an article today, and in it noticed an image of a circular unlock screen which allows you to access messages and call logs directly from the lock screen. The image I'm referring to can be found here;

Does anybody know how to use/install this on the Galaxy Nexus?

Thanks for the quick reply. So is there no other way to achieve this than to flash a custom rom?
Not at present as it's a custom lock screen
You can do that with WidgetLocker. Don't believe all of the trash saying you need a custom ROM.

Locker Widgets or Themes
Would either the GO Locker or the Widget Locker allow a different lock screen when one is on Exchange and only the pin lock screen is allowed?
It would be nice to have an unlock method that is secure but yet something that can be down will no looking at the screen .....driving.

He's right except for one small detail
Widget Locker and Go Locker are trash compared to the stock lock screen because they don't function as cleanly and as perfectly as the stock lock screen.
So yeah, don't believe all that trash saying you need a custom ROM /s
except for the part where the custom lock screen in that ROM is 100x better and smoother than widget locker and go locker which suffer from that horrible 5 second lock problem.

Enable root helper in WidgetLocker. Bam. No delay. Complete customization. WL is buttery smooth for me.
RootzBoat v6.1 rom has functionality built in. I'm not sure if its a custom lockscreen or just something the modded in themselves.
But it's cool.
Anyone else noticed that the widgetsoid lock-screen operation has stopped working?
It worked when I was using Android 4.0.2, and stopped working when I uploaded and installed 4.0.4 OTA.
The widgetsoid lock screen widget button used to lock the screen saving the need to press the physical power button.
But now the widgetsoid lock screen widget button momentarily blanks the screen, and then wakes the screen back up, at the unlock screen.
I tried reinstalling widgetsoid, but it did not fix it. Anyone know how to fix this?

4.0.4 made a change to that API and it hasn't been relayed to the dev community. They haven't found a way to fix it yet.

Thanks for the info. I almost made a thread about it after flashing b31 of AOKP. Didn't find this through search at first...
haha so it's the ICS version.. I thought the room is bad and because of that it's not working.. good to know that this is a ICS version issue and not a specific room issue.
Thank You!
i almost changed ROM becuse that

I almost freaked out for having to press the physical lock button so many times.
It's a bug introduced with Android 4.0.4 .

I use a little workaround for this.
Widgetsoid screen lock is fixed, and now locks the Gnex running stock jellybean.
My power button should last longer now.

is there a way to remove the Clock from the lockscreen? on Jelly bean (CM10)?
I found a few old thread about it, but nothing seen to work. WidgetLocker crash a lot and i couldn't find the way to actually hide the clock.
I installed Wp clock 2, and I love it, but the stock clock is on the way on the lockscreen.
Thanks
Nope, I don't believe so. Maybe suggest they include it in future builds?

Lock your screen and then long hold the clock and remove it.

S3? Which ROM?
Any AOSP 4.2.2 that has lock screen widgets enabled (CM10.1 does in fact meet this criteria) has the ability to remove the clock from the lock screen. You simply lock the phone, get to the lock screen and press and hold on the clock until you can move the screen around. Move it to the top of the screen to destroy it. You should now have a blank lock screen page with no widgets (in this case your clock).

Tried. What happened was that my phone rebooted and the stock clock was back. Every time.

Just curious as to what everyone has found to make it easier to turn off the M8 instead of reaching all the way to the top for the power button, which can be awkward. I know there is a knock at the top of the screen, but that is almost as bad as reaching for the button. Any other options/suggestions?
Screen off & lock app. Play store.

What exactly do you mean? Are you talking about turning off the screen as BigAl assumed, or are you talking about powering down the device?
use the nav bar on custom roms to change their attributes .
I use double tap on home to turn the screen off, also double tapping the notification bar works (viper rom)

Yes, just screen off/lock. I have a custom rom and they just have the swipe or tap at the top of the screen which is the same as reaching for the power button if not more difficult (tried Viper). I'm on Revolution 5 right now and really like it...just want a better way to lock the device...double tapping home sounds good. Is there a downloadable app or flashable addon compatible with Revolution?

swipe to turn off screen
I know there are many in the play store...was just wondering what other M8 owners used before I try them all
i use an app called knock lock. you set where you would double tap to turn off the screen. pretty nice add on for the gesture controls. plus no root needed. i set mine at the center

I use flar2's kernel. Includes sweep 2 sleep the bottom of the device to shut off the screen. No need to run an extra app. He also has a module you can use on stock kernel (need root though).

If you by turning off mean sleep, then:
Swipe2sleep isn't really needed in ARHD rom, as the Sense6 Toolbox allows you to customize the behaviour of the control bottons in the nav bar.
I've just setup long-press the home botton to sleep. Works fine and easier than swipe (IMO)
I use widgetsoid, create an invisible toggle button to turn the screen off which fills the bottom half of my screen so one click off without ruining my homescreen.
I use a Dot View case and close lid...does that count...

I remember as a kid, watching the Jetsons, and a "hard day at work" for George was when he had to "push teh button six times." I think we're surpassed that.
