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.

Thanks.

Runs very smoothly, does yours have delay where it shows the homescreen for a brief moment before the lockscreen appears?
Not all the time.

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.

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

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.
I know I know it's something everyone has been asking...At least I think so....Been searching around the web and thought I would come to you guys as my first post and question! I know there are some apps that can provide notifications in the lockscreen so you don't have to type in your password or pin to see what they recently said, now my question...is there a rootable app, something that can change the current lockscreen on the SGS3 to have these notifications? none of them seemed to work or are really buggy and not supported anymore, I know Iphone has this, infact I think this is the only reason to get an Iphone, just for the notifications in the lockscreen! If there are any legit ones that work and people still know about them please don't hesitate to answer and thanks for reading!

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

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 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.

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.

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...
