I'm wondering if anyone used the WidgetLocker lock screen replacement?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
I loved it on my SGSIII, but now that the SGSIV has a version of it, I'm wondering what people think. The downfall of the stock lockscreen is that you can't add widgets right on the main lock screen. The one downfall of WidgetLocker is that the shortcuts you add open right away, as opposed to having to drag the shortcut on the stock lockscreen, I find that I accidentally unlock the phone while it's in my pocket.
Just wanted to get your take.
Thanks,
Ever since I upgraded to the S4, I haven't even bothered installing Widget Locker. The S4's lockscreen is awesome.

I agree, I wish I could drop a widget directly on the lock screen without having to do any swiping.
I stopped using widgetlocker on my s3 since waking up the device with the home button also unlocked it. Used to love it on my S2

+1... stock is perfect. Especially when u add a lens flare mod.

Only thing the stock lockscreen is really missing is the ability to slide to unlock before going to the pattern. I don't like the fact that they removed the ability to have both, and i really miss not having music controls off my lockscreen as a result of the pattern lock being up as soon as i unlock.

Hey,
I hate the default lockscreen.
Does anyone know of a lockscreen theme that would work with Juggernaut ROM?
widget locker is a great app I've used it for quite some time now....
yes, me too
holy moly! awesome app!
Is it possible to get the Samsung SMS notification in the lockscreen to stay active with this app?
Also using WL and it's great. However, sometimes I see flashes of Samsung's default lock screen before WL loads - which annoys the hell out of me. Anyone know of a way to get rid of it? I can't stand their lock screen and quite honestly, Samsung should be embarrassed by it. It's total crap!
Thanks, in advance.
Try magic lock. U can switch between different lock screens like sense or iPhone or the galaxy puzzle lock screen,etc

GO Locker is a good alternative "very New" so not much themes out yet. But more perky than widget locker.
The go locker works great for me i really like the EDT tweaks that come on the sgs 4g custom roms i hope to see thoes soon on some roms

As the title reads. Is there a way to have a lockscreen wallpaper different than the home wallpaper?
Use WidgetLocker
widgetlocker is too buggy and laggy for me...
I bought and used LockBot Pro for this very reason. love it. haven't installed on my Galaxy Nexus yet though.

the problem with WidgetLocker and Lockbot is that you will have a double lockscreen which sucks. You slide to unlock then you unlock again by using either the PIN or password or pattern for the actual phone lock screen which is annoying. I wish they could just enable it where just the app will handle lock and unlock instead of double.
Multipicture Live Wallpaper.
While it is mainly designed to set a different for each screen you can also set a different wallpaper for your lockscreen.
Good luck

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...

What would people recommend for a live wallpaper weather lock screen. I want it
Only on the lock screen not on my home Page..
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
You can just set lockscreen wallpaper only when you long press on home and use the stock windy weather lwp or whatever weather lwp you'd like. I prefer to use widgetlocker for my lockscreen with the built in lockscreen disabled just for all the customizations available using widgetlocker.
I like to break stuff!

It seems like some things automatically to both. I keep thinking I an going to get widget Locker but hate wasting money. I buy so many things just to find out they are not good enough. I like it when they have a trial Version to use first just for.. that reason.
Hmm I have no live wallpapers on my phone for lock screen. .windy only shows up under home screen not lock screen

Widgetlocker is definitely worth the $3 it makes the lockscreen really yours. Tons of themes, use your own widgets, customization you wont ever find on any stock lockscreen
And what you'll need to do for lwp on stock lockscreen is set a lwp for both home and lockscreen then go back and change just the wallpaper for the homescreen

I could have sworn I tried that. But I will try again . I had looked into it before but something I wanted to do could not be done so I didn't do it. .Course now I have no idea what that was. I think it was putting email widget on the lockscreen bur the author said default email app was not supported. .?
Yup when I pick the home screen from my gallery it automatically makes my la lock screen the Same

Strange. I tested mine last night I had to set both home and lock screen as a lwp and then go back and choose homescreen only and set a different wallpaper and my lwp stayed on my lockscreen. And I used the default lockscreen after disabling widgetlocker its even easier with widgetlocker just choose your lwp from settings > alternate wallpaper

Now that is weird, it should either change both to the same thing or leave the lockscreen alone altogether. not sure what could cause that to happen

Anyone else surprised by this? I'm okay with no widgets, but not having the shortcuts on the lockscreen is very disappointing.

I this a touch wiz or verizon change ?
touchwiz hadn't had lock screen widget since the new s5 version came out. the tab series doesn't even have them either. I have a feeling they're dunzo especially since lolipop got rid of lockscreen widgets anyway.

Widgets are there, they moved them away from the tabbed format. They went backwards a hit. Do a long press on the screen and they will come up.

no he means on the lock screen.

Yeah last galaxy device I had was the S4. I didn't know lollipop got rid of them. I can do without the widgets, I just miss the shortcuts. I loved putting a a google voice search shortcut on the lock screen for when I'm driving.
