Hi,
I used to have an HTC One S phone but sold it and and decided to get a SGS3 phone instead. I'm very familiar with rooting and roms. I'm loving my SGS3 lockscreen and would like to keep it but I know I will lose it if I ROM. Does anyone know of a ROM or mod that will let me have the SGS3 lockscreen? This is what is keeping me from ROMing, I love the lockscreen...
What exactly about the lock screen is it that you enjoy?If it's the app shortcuts, many ROMs include the option to have up to 8 lock screen targets. Super useful!

most of the ROMs on the Android Development (not Original) section have TouchWiz-based ROMs.
just go in there and browse around until you see something that catches your eye.
i too like the TouchWiz lockscreen. but only because you have shortcuts AND security-based unlock.

What I like specifically is the ripple effect.
If you use a TW custom rom you will have the ripple effect lock screen. I'm using the black jelly bean rom and the rom has it.

Everyone recieved a 'thank you' hit! Thanks!
Thanks! And I woud like to second the recommendation for BlackJelly if the Touchwiz flavor is your preference. I personally prefer AOKP, but to each their own.

it's been so long since I've used stock Touchwiz, I forgot what the lock-screen is like. it might help others to if you point out which features on the stock lock-screen you liked that you don't have on CM10. You may be interested in AOKP which has a lot of lock screen modifications.

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...

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...

Hi all,
I was playing about with another random non-brand tablet when I went to unlock the device (just slide lock enabled). The lock circle include a range of apps (possible favourites) with the actually unlock icon as one of them. There was nothing fancy about it all, no graphical changes or folders. Just apps.
Does such an application exist. I know there are loads around that do fancy stuff that go into contacts, folders etc, etc but this simply had apps on the lock circle and that's what I'm after.
Cheers,
vgjfelix
You get that kinda feature in most custom roms
Exampel: settings->interface->lockscreen->custom slider targets

And what if you don't have a custom rom nor wish to install one?
Try "go locker" I've used it in the past and recommend it.

Try Widgetlocker in the market, also.

Ahh, then I don't know. The one and only thing I remember with third party app-lockscreens is that they tend to be kinda unstable. But that may be only me, wish you luck finding a good one tho!

WidgetLocker is the best for what you asking.

You can even assign shortcuts or actions. =)
Oh that's right. Widget locker is the other one I've tried. I like it allot also but I think there's no free version? Correct me if I'm wrong? Well worth the buck tho.

OK, thanks for your responses. Appreciate it. I will check it out.
Hey Everyone
I was wondering if there is a flashable zip of JUST the AOSP lockscreen (ring-style) for our Touchwiz Galaxy S3's
I dont want to install WidgetLocker or the likes.
Thank you
Bump .. no answer
Does anyone know if there is a standalone 5 lockscreen mod I can flash, or something?
You need to do a little searching and looking around. Csrom has a choice for a aosp lock screen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058032

perhaps if you read the OP's post you would understand he was asking for a flashable zip of just the aosp lockscreen, not a ROM with an aosp lockscreen. where on upndwn4par's thread is the link to a recovery flashable aosp lockscreen zip?
i know that users post on here all the time without searching, but dont be a smarta** until you've actually read the post. it makes us all look bad
I'm not being a smarta** . you don't have to try and be a white night. He's looking for a solution and left a very wide margin with " or something. " I posted a possible solution all you did was start an argument. Csrom is essentially stock touchwiz with mods so I'd say I gave a better solution than you which was nothing. If I was trying to be a smart a** I wouldn't of given anything helpful. Like you

There's also an app that called widget locker lockscreen which will give you the aosp lock screen.

back in the day i fooled around with that app. i remember it running clunky. perhaps its better now. the OP doesnt want a 3rd party app though, specifically widget locker.
My apologizes. I missed the part about not wanted widget locker.

So has development of TW ROMs stopped? Is there not any mods or tweaks left to make a unique TW ROM? I'm kind of getting bored of having the same styled ROMs because honestly all CM based ROMs are pretty much the same because of the fact that they are all CM based obviously. It was nice having TW and CM7. Then getting CM9 and CM10 and now CM10.1 but it seems that all the ROMs have the same basic settings and themes.
Avatar ROM was a little different and I liked it but not too much different since its also CM10.1 based. What I'm really looking for is a TW ROM with all the mods that they're used to be like the lockscreens and clock position in status bar and all the little things that made TW ROMs better. Do any of those even exist anymore for any phone?

You not so satisfied with The People's and Legacy? I don't use them but they still seem popular after all this time.
And why not take time to theme and mod CM ROMs yourself? Themes, lockscreen mods, launchers and widgets are scattered around for you to revamp the experience. Personally I don't like non-AOSP style, but to imitate a GS3 I downloaded a "GS3-Addon", did a bit modification to it and flashed upon a CM10 nightly, which in the end turned out to be REALLY, REALLY similar experience to the real TouchWiz 5!
Just saying, you can try similar tricks yourself, though it takes some time

Could you post a screenshot of your TW 5? I'd like to see how close you've gotten. And your right about all that but I'm honestly just missing the good old TW ROMs that had amazing battery life and many tweaks and themes and stuff. I used to theme TW ROMs and worked on a few mods and I was doing pretty good but that was last summer. Since I started college I haven't really had much free time to work on that kind of stuff.

Not SO close actually TW-specific apps are mostly missing. But apps like S Note, Super Video (floating video player on S3), TW5 launcher and widgets are all there. More I can't remember.
I'll post screenshots 2 days later as we're having tests these days and my E4G is currently on CM10.1 so I have to restore the nandroid backup.

Its cool don't worry about the screenshots.
Do you know a way to get the lockscreen on cm10.1 to be like it was on 10 and 9? I mean to have the rings with the shortcuts before the actual unlock pattern? Is there a way to change that? I wanna start working on my ROM to make it the way I actually want.

@lilajrestnom Hey I have an idea. Settings - Lockscreen - check "Maximize widgets". In this way you'll have to long press the lock icon on the bottom of the screen to bring up the lock security, which I think is just what you want. This is tested to work with "pattern" lock security.

Ya I've done that and that's the closest I can get to what I actually want. I really just wanted the real rings before the pattern lock but it seems like that's the best I can do for now thanks tho.
