Maybe I sound like a dummy but I notice that if you put in your own custom wallpaper, the statusbar turns black like on the S3, but if you use the Samsung wallpapers, it is transparent. Is there anyway to make it ALWAYS transparent?
Also, is it possible to have multiple widgets with a PIN? Because I notice once you put a pin in, Samsung disables alot of the things you can do with the 4.2 lockscreen, which is dumb and defeats the purpose...

Nope. You answered your own question. Even without a PIN, they hork a lot of what 4.2 can do stock. Yet another reason why AOSP-based ROMs are superior.
Nova launcher has the option to set transparent notification bar on custom walls.

Yeah hopefully.
I was figuring it too! Wonder why no transparent status bar.. And the widgets are not full when you wake the device..

Is there anything like this for the Epic4g.

The dual locks would be awesome.
Pretty sure I would **** bricks if we had a lockscreen like that. I use sms popup, but this would be awesome.

If we're talking about the lockscreen then, like alfiej said, widget locker can fill it up with sliders and widgets. I do have a question about that link tho. Does the gingerbread lockscreen actually have multiple sliders and/or can it be customized like that on stock? Or is the multiple sliders a change made in CM6.1?

I really don't like running apps in my background (especially lockscreens).
1. They dont work all the time.
2. They take up too much memory.
I used widget locker and my phone died much faster than without it. I had my phone unplugged yesterday for 15 hours before it got down to 80%. With it, it was down at like 60%. Sorry dude.
No need to apologize dude, I just was naming what does this. I bought widget locker a few weeks ago and got a refund within an hour so I feel your pain.

What's dope about this one is above the sliders you can draw gestures and it will automatically launch those apps
I actually really like our stock lock screen because it basically has these same features. I'd probably go for this one if it was available to us because I like the vanilla layout better.

it was in CM 6.1 for my old hero.
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

Lol I must have looked at that thing 20 times. Thanks!
I've been using Codename Android for a while and one thing i really liked was the clock on the LOCKSCREEN being centered.
I've now moved to AOKP where the clock is like the stock one, aligned to the right.
I'm hoping for a mod or hack that can center the LOCKSCREEN clock and all other text thats displayed there.
preferably something easy and flashable, but i'd understand if thats not possible.
Again, this is for the LOCKSCREEN, NOT NOTIFICATION.
just bumping this since it's been 24 hours
I would love this.
+1 for center clock. I liked that on CNA.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
well i'm glad i'm not alone here.
I just sent a tweet to the current CNA dev asking him if he could share a way to do it.
i loved CNA, but after moving to AOKP, don't think i'll be going back.
well, been a couple days, so another bump.
Really no one knows how to do this?

well thats what this post is about, a request.
as far as weather on the lockscreen, you have a few options there.
AOKP can have weather on the lockscreen and notification bar
beautiful widgets can have weather in the notification bar and then a simple pull down.
Widget Locker can be used to put a weather widget on the lockscreen.
my thing is that i love the stock lockscreen, especially in AOKP with it's features, but want a centered clock as the others above do.
I'll try and work on it.

it is similar to the one we have now, just that it has like a multiple page support type of lock screen with widgets. so the main lockscreen page is there and if you swipe left or right, there is another page with widgets from what i have seen

That sounds really cool. I hope we can get this. I miss having widgets on my lockscreen without using a third party app.

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

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!

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.
