any suggestions for lock screen replacements? I need to have a lock pin for security. Dash clock doesn't seem to be compatible.

I typically use Go Locker, but I don't use the pin unlock. I know they have the option, but I can't vouch for how well it works.
Also, I personally make themes for it under the developer name NanoTech, so I may be a bit biased .

Anyone know how this can be changed? The motion of having to drag the wallpaper off the screen is pretty lame.
I've been searching for this.
Edit: Adding a lock pattern overrides this or you can look at getting one of the lock screens from the market.
Its the same as the infuse minus the puzzle... Which i miss
.sorta.
Use widget locker?

root will do it. I bet if we just delete their lockscreen.apk it'll default to the standard android pull-tabs.
Also, yeah, worst lockscreen EVAR. It's like they didn't even try, lol.
software can, and will, be hacked. no worries.
I personally like the lockscreen. I even had it on my epic 4g by choice.

There's one called Agile Lock that mimics the sense 3.0 lock screen pretty well, plus lets you put any widget you want on it! I've been using it since yesterday and no wake locks/force closes anything weird. I got the paid version, not sure about the free version.
But yeah, I hate the stock lock screen.

Yeah, only the paid version allows you to change the widgets but you can accumulate points on the free version to unlock the feature...at least that's how it was when I last used it

Really? I hated the fact that the pin didn't override the lock screen on my Photon.
Why would I want to worry about accidentally activating the screen (the purpose of the lock screen) when I already entered a security pin?
The lockscreen is better then the one on the 8 lock mod on the epic..

I have to agree, that ugly swiping off the wallpaper really seems like they didn't even try. The default Android lock screen is much better.
I went out and bought WidgetLocker just because it was so bad.
i just wished we could at least change the picture
i love the shortcuts for missed notifications
try:
Settings
Display
Screen Display
Lock Screen Wallpaper
Lets you choose whatever you want!
I used this as my lockscreen wallpaper LOL:

Anyone notice quite a lag between hitting power and the screen actually turning on? I just plugged the phone in, and it was MUCH faster to turn on. When I unplugged, same lag. I will test more when its fully charged.

I use Widget Locker and it's quite good, there are a lot of themes available and it works good in almost all the case. I found only a little glitch, when you put the phone in airplane mode you have to unlock two times cause the stock lockscreen appears after you unlock with widget locker. The previous sentence is a mess lol.
I've been having some problems with third-party lock screens, for some reason they'll work for a while. But then randomly they will just not lock the screen. Also, no matter what I do the stock lock screen will not go away. I've tried Go Locker, wp7 locker, and magic locker, and none have worked for me.
Is there any solution for this? I like having custom lockers so this is extremely irritating.

I'm using Go Locker with a WP7 theme and it's working. You also have to use Go Launcher and in Settings>Security change Screen Lock to "None"

I tried this, and it works fine for awhile, but after an hour or two the locker wont even pop up, it'll just show the home screen or whatever app I was last in.
The only fix I found was to disable and re-enable it, and thats only temporary.

I have been using Widget Locker for months and it works great. I had to set the option to allow it to keep an icon in the status bar, but once that was done it has only failed to lock once or twice and I use my phone a lot.
Is there a way to change lock screen styles based on location? (Maybe through something like Tasker?)
My 1 year old daughter has learned how to unlock my phone with the swipe lock screen, so I have changed it to facial recognition, which has adequately secured it from her.
However, when I'm not at home, I would prefer the ease of the swipe unlock.
Is this possible?

I couldn't find definitely that it will allow you to change unlock method based on location (everything else is listed and it's hinted at several places) but you might give SmartShift Lockscreen a try. You can find it here on Google Play.

Thanks for checking. That appears to be a lock screen replacement.
Ideally, I'd like to use the stock lock screen and just update the settings.

In that case I would check out Secure Settings App which is available through Google and has a thread here at XDA.

Couldn't figure out the facial recognition. However, I figured out how to toggle between requiring a pin and not, which should suffice for keeping my phone protected from a toddler accessing it.

I was looking at the screenlock app from the xda front page, and toyed with it a little, however, it made me wonder if anyone knows of, or can make an app that disables everything put the dialer?
I hate letting my kids use my phone because I never know what they are gonna snoop thru or if someone is going to send me something I wouldnt want them to see, it would be great to be able to lock out everything but the dialer in this type of situation... any thoughts?

You can use an app that locks out other apps. That way you can lock the apps you don't want your kids having access too, then disable SMS notifications and they will never read them or see them.
