Hey guys,
This lock screen randomly started overriding my pattern lock (I had to turn it off)...
Can any of you guys identify this and how to fix it so I can use my pattern lock again?
Thanks!

Yeah, I am! But I didn't find any lockscreen options... I'm probably just being an idiot.

I'm running Apex... but about to switch (no idea to what!) because he's never around and never updates.
It was GO Locker - got it fixed - thanks guys
If you are still on Apex and not happy, I highly suggest Nova and experiment with it.
As for the GO locker, expect to find it randomly change on you if you have more than 2 different locker themes downloaded. I had it before I rooted and it would randomly change the locker themes on me once or twice a week.
Irritating to say the least.

Had this phone for Two days now and LOVE it. Way better then evo 3d I had. Only issue I have is I struggle to unlock it every time. Maybe the size maybe the touchwiz screen. Either way it makes me crazy. Anyone make a suggestion of a different lock screen that is stable and won't mess up the excellent battery life.
Btw I have no interest in rooting but don't mind buying an app if needed. Also I have no issue with other parts of touchwiz just the lock screen.
I use widget locker. You can set that up any way you'd like. I have the stock aosp lock screen. Does wonders.

Widget locker allows you to customize the lockscreen with a ot of different options. So the AOSP lockscreen is when you slide the icon across to unlock you phone. It is Androids stock lock screen that ships with Android if Samsung or HTC wouldn't add their own.
Agile lock is pretty good too. It gives you a lockscreen similar to sense 3.0

I replaced my stock lock screen with widget locker and haven't experienced any problems (including battery life). It could be that people using widget locker are placing battery intensive widgets on their lockscreen.
Yeah I haven't had any problems with battery life or any slow downs either. This phone handles the battery and speed well. You can set it up however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can even download themes. I just like it so much because I don't have to use the original lock screen for our phone.

Thanks again! I downloaded and have been playing with widget locker and love it so far. Only question I have is ... Is there some way to get rid of the icon in the notification bar that shows widget locker ongoing. I keep thinking there is something I have not checked and it kinda bothers me. Tried to find a setting to get rid if it but no luck. Thanks again

Hey guys, for those of you who have Go Launcher, the team just release a Go Lock Screen app which is really really nice. It's quite difficult to search on the market so to find it do the following:
Press Menu > Go Store > Go Locker (one of the four picture box on top) > Go Locker > Install
All the lock screens are really nice; I'm currently using the FourKey theme.

Holy crap! this thing rocks. Think I found my widget locker replacement..... for now.
I can't find the app. I'm using ADW. I'll wait until it pops up. It looks nice though.
Widget locker just got updated too for ICS, and its pretty slick...

You have to have Go Launcher.
Oh man. I already set ADW the way I want it. So in order to use the lock screen I have to use Go Launcher too right? Is there any way around that?

Not that I know of. Widget Locker just updated their app today as mentioned above, it's pretty nice with their new themes too.
EDIT:
There's no way to change the lockscreen wallpaper?
I can't download Widget Locker. It just stays at loading via the Market. This sucks.

Hi guys!
I am looking for the old original stock lock screen from 4.1 (like in the screenshot). For me is the new one terrible and I was wondering if someone can make a MOD or gave me a hint, how can I do it myself. Sadly I am a noob and I can only root my phone and flash some roms and mods. I am not looking for the Holo Locker or other app. Just want the poor old stock lock.
Can someone help me pls?
Thanks in advance!
I would love to see this as an option in future Custom Roms. Lockscreen widgets always seemed superfluous to me
You can use Widget Locker to set up your lock screen like that. I actually use Widget Locker to get a look similar to the 4.2 stock look on CM 10.1 since the CM one isn't quite the same as the stock one.

I opened a thread showing how you can put anything you like on your stock rom lockscreen using UCCW w/o requiring root or BL unlock; look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081338&nocache=1 The only thing I haven't yet found how to do on stock rom is change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Here you go, only for stock deodexed roms. Credits to Evillisto in Galaxy nexus forum.

Beat me to it! I tried it on both my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 a while back and it worked as expected. However, I disable my lock screen using Lockscreen Policy so to me it's a non-issue with the 4.2 lock screen.
You can try Holo Lockscreen app from the play store.

Have you not tried xylon ROM? Or a few others that have lockscreen targets? You can set it up just like that.

Yes, I've tried the most of the ROMs, but nothing works so gut Iike the stock one. Sadly I can not get, what I want, because the my rom is odexed too...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I'd like to see the developers given an option in their ROMs for turning the lockscreen widgets on and off. I know for me right now my problem with them is if I try to check my notifications I find myself missing the drag point for the notification bar and then I end up expanding the widget. Very, very annoying.
Yes, a mod like this would be good. I especially hate how Poweramp shows up on lock screen on 4.2. Its like a small ugly box on lock screen. 4.1 lock screen had it perfect.

You can use this if you want to disable lock screen widgets and camera...
It does not give you 4.1's lock screen but gets rid of your lock screen widgets...

I am not affiliated with this app at all. I'm just sharing.
I'm currently running MROM with holo launcher and this app, holo locker. It's an AOSP jellybean lockscreen, and it runs pretty well. For those who are still using GB, this is a great way to make your phone look and feel up to date. Enjoy.

Runs very smoothly, does yours have delay where it shows the homescreen for a brief moment before the lockscreen appears?

Frustrated with bot Holo and Go Lockers. It seems like at first they work fine (maybe not, this might happen from the begining), but then the OEM/AOSP lockscreen starts showing up before the Holo/Go lockscreen. I've uninstalled both until I find out how to fix that. Send emails, but haven't got any replies yet.

What rom are you on right now, and can I assume you set the lockscreen security to none in the rom before applying your custom lockscreen?

I was on CM7 and don't remember ever seeing a way to turn off the lock screen altogether.
Now I'm on miui and using magic locker, working fine.
I think it may have something to do with choosing the locker as the " default launcher"
The magic locket makes it apparent that you need to do that for it work properly.

In cyanogenmod settings > tablet tweaks(?) You can turn off default lock screen.

I was hoping any can help me haha. I recently bought a lock screen theme, when i downloaded the go launcher ex because it is required. When I installed it and select the theme, my screen lock just won't let me slide to unlock. It just freezes
I've seen the reviews and they all said it's working fine. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to go into settings to do something?
Any advice would be grateful
I'm using the Galaxy Note 2 White GT-N7105
I think you will also need go locker for this theme to work as the theme is not meant for the default touchscreen.
