What's the best app for an AOSP-style lockscreen with customizable shortcuts? The two that I know of are Widgetlocker and Holo Locker but both are paid apps. I don't mind paying for it but I'd like to hear some feedback before buying.

Question about Holo Locker - if you choose the AOSP lockscreen, can you have more than 3 shortcuts not including the unlock shortcut. In the description it says you can have top, bottom, right and left but I'm assuming one of those spaces is reserved to unlock your device.

Can I get a hell yeah for WidgetLocker? One of the best apps ever, period.
Wave Launcher
WidgetLocker
LPP FB Widget
Minimal Reader Pro
MIUI Evolution Reload Clock
Minimalistic Text
Desktop Visualizer
just a quick reminder here guys before it goes out of hand
no warez in XDA
only legit links to legit market places, like Android Market, Amazon Market, Getjar, and... errh... forgot the name of that other one that looks really dodgy but is legit

I also prefer Swipepad over wave launcher. I really wanted to like wave launcher, but it kept getting in the way of other actions, like the dockbar shortcuts and sliding the notification bar back up.
Is there a way to change from where it launches, like you can with Swipepad? I couldn't find the option.

Does anyone know of ways to get different lockscreen options for cm7?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Theirs a paid app called widget locker that lets u customize your lock screen. You might wanna check it out
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
Cm7.2 rc1 has lockscreen options in cm settings there are several types of lockscree. Styles to choose and customize. If you use go launcher ex they have go locker with lots of themes, if u go to cm settings/lockscreen options and set the lockscreen to none go locker will be your primary lockscreen and there is no annoying double lock

i was about to say the EXACT same thing haha (sorry, i had to say that)
For those of you who have tried both, which one is faster, smoother and more responsive?
Nova seems to be the fastest if you change the scroll and animation speed but unlike Nova, Apex offers some basic swipe gestures without needing to pay for the pro version.

Thanks. I'm willing to shell out $4 for the pro version of either launcher.

Thanks. Btw, if you install a 3rd party launcher, do you lose the "Motion" functions in Touchwiz and the swipe to text or call in contacts?

No... If I am guessing we are thinking same features... Nova prime is really good stuff. You can change theme colors and has tons of swipe features....

Anyone know how to get the stock TouchWiz clock with weather back with Nova?

the latest nova beta is based off the jellybean launcher and is fantastic. on cm10, it's absolutely the fastest and most fluid launcher i've ever used. i bought the pro version and have not regretted it. there are more gesture options than Apex the last time i checked.
i've had both and i find nova to be smoother than apex. too bad i paid for the pro version of apex which i loved on the GS2.
This may have been answered elsewhere, so I apologize if it has.
Do y'all know if icon packs for Apex (specifically the flat icon pack) work in Nova? I'm willing to hand over the $1 for an icon pack, but only if I know it will work with my launcher.

Icons made specifically for Apex won't work...such as the flat icons by mitchs.co
I know this because I have the same set. The only option is to get the ADW or Go Theme set but those aren't as up to date like the Apex one

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll just buy the .zip straight from mitchs.
Gonna have to side with Apex. Best launcher available.

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

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.

I've decided to stay with stock lock screen for now.
Sent from the Third Galaxy.
I bought Transparent Launcher Premium, thinking that it would do it for me. Unfortunately though, it lacks many basic features that I think the developer should have implemented. There is no way to search for an application by name to make it a transparent widget (you have to scroll through all your apps in non alphabetical order), and you cannot make multiple transparent widgets for your app icons (has to be 1 by 1). Lastly, with my Note 2 I can't even have a 1x1 transparent widget, only 2x2. So please guys, any other viable options out there? I like to have a nice wallpaper to look at with most of the apps that I use still on my homescreen.
PS sorry for the rant :silly:

Thanks for the reply. I do not want to switch my home lunched though. I'm a firm believer that most big things on a phone should be stock... runs smoother.
