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...

I've just flashed to the Eagles Blood ROM and it is working great.
I still have the stock lock screen. I've seen some really cool ones out there but they came with a warning that they only work with a certain ROM.
How do people change their lock screens and how do you know if a lock screen will work with a certain modified ROM?
Thanks, I'm still an android noob.

I believe the only one that require a specific ROM are the ones for MiUI... and there are some pretty sweet ones for that.
In addition to what was mentioned previously, there's also WidgetLocker. That's a pretty good one too.

Seeing those is what got me started on a quest to find a better lock screen.
if you are refering to lockscreens built into a rom directly... Those require framework apk modfication,framework jar modfication android policy jar and so on so forth for them to be present in the device.. The reason you cannot just flash another devices say framework jar and policy jar is a theres going to always be diffrences between 2 diffrent gingerbreads even if they are the same version example would be mount parttion info.. for starters which could render you in a softbrick state and heaven forbid you flashed the whole rom including the firmware and totally bricked a device
on another note as people have stated there is some great free lockscreens on the market gratned there apps
Widgetlocker is not free, but it has some great options, including ICS lock screen.
i tried all types of free lock screen replacements and feel widget locker is worth 2.99. You can customize it very well and there is a thread with 330+ pages of themes.
Hi!
I want to know is it possible to port original JB lockscreen to Galaxy S3 custom rom? (my is Omega 27.1)

Holo locker is buggy, it unlocks if you tap home button. And has no google voice on the "swipe to top".

I'm pretty sure that no app is able to replace stock lockscreen properly and qualitatively.
Only by modifying/replacing the system files can be achieved desirable result...
The best solution will be provided by JKay's Mod.

Still does not play nice with 3rd party launchers. I remember some lame bug on it, plus the fact it hasn't been updated since then.
I'm also using holo locker at the moment i'm currently on wanamlite 3.8 but would rather have the JB lockscreen so have resorted to using holo locker for the moment until i ca find a way of flashing the lock screen if its even possible???
Holo Locker has a few bugs which iritate me when ever i close the screen down you get the standard lock sound which it then does again a couple of seconds later
Use Jkay deluxe framework, it has the original android locker

Thanks a lot. But it is not exactly what I want. I just need lockscreen +maybe CRT on/off, that's all. I don't need any tweaks related to taskbar/tasklist etc.
How can I get it separately?

I am currently using Omega v33.1. But I badly miss the original jellybean lockscreen that came with parandroid rom which I tried not so long ago. I will keep searching for this on XDA as well as Google (just a noob expression I'm afraid). Hopefully I will find some mod which modifies some system files to achieve this. I have tried widget locker from play but experienced some irritating bugs.
BTW could anyone please guide me how to request some developer to build this or at least discuss is it possible at all.
Cheers.
I tried holo locker from play store. Pretty descent with no apparent bugs or fc. But sadly it isn't compatible with juicedefender. Prevents auto disable of data/wifi while screen is off.

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!
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
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.
So I found this app in the Market, and it runs pretty smooth on the Nexus 4, however does anyone know of any other one that will allow me to put a picture on my lockscreen?

I believe Xylon, JellyBeer, AOKP have working options. I would look into Xylon and JellyBeer. These are my 2 preferred. Both Highly customizable.

I found that maybe your perfect match would be Xylon. Has Lock Screen Transparency, Custom Wallpaper Setting for Lock Screen. All working. Tested myself.
Good Luck!

with widgetlocker you can set your own picture. but with both lockscreen apps the softkeys stay visable and can unlock the lockscreen
hope to see a solution for this in near future

You can hide the softkeys......on widgetlocker easily.
Go into advanced settings and then under root helper.
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.
