Hi,
As I use a PIN to unlock my phone, I'd like to remove the ring lock screen.
I know how to do it in CM7 but can't find it under ICS...
I'm on Leedroid ROM.
Thank you.
You can't without replacing the lockscreen for an alternative
Hasn't LeeDroid tweaks got an option to replace the HTC lockscreen with the standard ICS one?

any luck?
Even I am annoyed with the round unlock screen.. is there any way to change it to stock ICS (or anything else) ? I am currently on the untouched Stock HTC OneX ICS
Anyways for this?
I'm fairly sure the lock screen is unchangeable on the stock ROM, custom ROM's there is usually an option to use one of the many ICS lock screens and in some cases lock screens from previous versions of Android. As for LeeDroid I'm not too sure as I have never used it, but in other ROM's the setting is usually found inside the ROM Control or ROM settings inside the settings menu.

What custom ROM's are you talking about that have options for the lock screen?
I know that the MIUI ROM uses a different lock screen, and if you don't want to use the entire ROM, you can use the MIUI Launcher app to add it to any ROM.
I too would like to simply disable or remove it somehow if at all possible.
Here is an efficient and good looking non-root alternative

Is there anyway to change this, to a slide bar or something?
Just come from a HD2 running stock desire rom and the current SGS2 one seems a bit...naff in comparison.
Try widgetlocker. Slide to unlock plus slide to any app

WidgetLocket works perfectly and when activated stops the default locker from appearing.

Perfect, thanks
Adding the stock lockscreen is very complicated, requires editing of the framework.jar and android-services.jar aswell as framework res.
I will begin work on it once we have fully functional deodexed rom

Do you think you will be able to do it? Really don't like using bolt on lock screens like widgetlocker.
Depends how similar to the origional sgs the java files are. That's the complicated bit. Waiting on cwm for backups and deodexed rom, then work will begin

If you haven't given widget locker a go yet I would try it.
It's even better if you've rooted and increased your lcd density somewhat (192 seems good to me). I love being able to unlock straight to SMS, Email & camera, while being able to use torch mode without unlocking too... etc.
The old lock screen is still on in the background. Sometimes it flashes up when I unlock. Is it a bad idea to disable through Widget Locker?
I love widget locker, but I'm finding it a pain - my home button first start bypassing it, then when I figured that fix out, hold it down still activates the task manager grr
WidgetLocker is great - I've been using it for about a year but only found out the other day that you can get custom themes for the sliders, and because they're mostly just zipped up image files it was relatively easy to customise.

This is the 5 second problem. It's discussed in the Widget Locker documentation (and in the settings menus too).
If you root your phone you can get rid of it once and for all. Otherwise Homehelper is supposed to maybe help, but I never managed to completely get rid of the system lock screen till I rooted as you can't override the 5 second thing.

Okay. Planning on rooting my advice so may try that. Cheers. What is home helper? Do you mean root helper?
Widgetlocker on my O2 branded unrooted SG2 worked perfectly. However, now I have rooted it and flashed the unbranded firmware the home button overrides it meaning just pressing the home button twice unlocks the phone.
Anyone else with this issue? I have checked to make sure the option to allow the home button to unlock is unticked.
Edit - Ignore me, forgot the Homehelper needed to be set as default.

DO you think it would be possible to add Cyanogen's unlock screen (with rotary unlock and stuff) or would that be even harder ?
I would love to see the AOSP lock screen pop up on the SGS2.
my vote is the puzzle unlock from some sgs models.

That one is built into Widget Locker if you don't mind using that. Given the power and battery life on the phone I'm quite happy to do that. Although my resource reporting apps show Widget Locker as quite a hog.
I hate the Widget locker icon in the notification area. It makes me sad.
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.
Good evening fellow desire users
Ive recently switched back to MIUI (Stock), have been using mildwild for a while before that.
on mildwild i grew accustomed to having a pattern to unlock my phone, so i created one in MIUI too, but theres a problem:
MIUI puts its own lockscreen even before the unlock pattern which makes me pull down the MIUI lockscreen and THEN enter my pattern to unlock my phone.
Kind of redundant u might think? me too, so im searching for a way to reduce the procedure to the pattern screen only
is there some easy way to do so? there is no way to change this in the standard settings menu, there has been a flashable zip for a pretty old version of miui, but that doesnt work anymore.
is there an app for that? (nolock disables the whole unlocking, which goes a step too far)
Thanks in advance
Ask in MIUI-thread.

I like the slide unlock feature, but I would like to change the secondary (camera) option. Any way to make it a different app?
Yes and No.
Yes, if you are rooted, you can use a custom ROM that permits this. I am a CodeName Adroid user and you can set multiple 'targets' on the lockscreen that point to whatever app you like. You can also just change the one camera shortcut to point to something else. I am sure that many other ROMs allow for this too!
No, if you are not rooted. I'm not 100% sure on this, but there are no apps or command lines that allow you to change it without being rooted first!
My advice? Try CodeName Android as a new ROM. It's awesome!
Bummer. Thanks for the info!

you can use widget locker to do this, but it replaces the lock screen.
So with the new exploit for 4.4 by jcase (thanks for that by the way), I have root access and s-off. Being as my m7 is still relatively new and I'm not sick of Sense (yet), I installed the stock 4.4 m7 rom. I have no complaints except for the fact that my apps do not want to show up in the lock screen. I also can't seem to add any widgets to the home screen (not that I want to but just seems odd). Anyway, wondering if this is something that I'm just missing or if it is a flaw in the rom.
Thanks

Sense 5.5 lockscreen is different then previous versions of Sense.
You only have limited widgets that you can add to the lockscreen.
You have to swipe to the side from the top right edge of the lockscreen.
To add widgets to the homescreen, tap and hold on the homescreen, you should have a bunch of widgets that can be added.
Everything works in the rom, it's stock, as HTC made it.
Sounds like you just aren't familiar with Sense 5.5 yet.
There are guides online about the changes and differences between Sense 5 and Sense 5.5 that may help you see what has changed.
I understand that the lockscreen has changed in sense 5.5. I have been using the phone for about a month. The lockscreen just doesnt give me any option to swipe in any direction. I can add widgets to the home screen, its just the lock screen thats giving me the issue. And usually if I recall correctly, on the lock screen, there are usually some translucent arrows indicating that you can swipe to add widgets, and i dont seem to have that
Thanks
There's a setting somewhere to enable lockscreen widgets. Been a while since I flashed s new Rom so I can't remember where.

So I ended up flashing a new rom with sense 6 in it so this is not an issue anymore. Thanks anyway
