Hi everyone I've tried all alternative lockscreen apps on the market but they all share the same annoying bug : if I unlock sliding on a shortcut e. g. whatsapp. once I press back to quit the app and (logically) going to my home screen, it goes back to the app that locks my phone and locks it again. this is not really functional. all I was looking for was a way to have different wallpapers for both home screen and lockscreen. tired of having the same one for both. suggestions?

It's not a bug, it's programmed that way.
App called widgetlocker can do what you want.

Normal black lockscreen. I open Dolphin to a webpage and hit the power button. Now on my lockscreen I have the settings dots showing through. Anyone else?
That's not a Glitch,Almost all apps have that function,It's so you can jump right back to what you were doing,as soon as you tap it,it will unlock the screen & bring you into your current app

No ****? I don't use a lot of Apps. The only one installed currently is Dolphin on my GN. Neat feature.
it actually is a glitch/bug.
normally the menu buttons should be hidden when you lock the screen, but due to a bug, they don't.
there is no reason for them to be there, as a simple unlock of the screen brings you back.
so this is a bug/glitch and hopefully it will be fixed.
One for and one against. Anyone care to be the tie breaker?
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.
I just got this phone today and so far I love it. One thing that is bothering me is the google search widget that is on the home screen. Is there a way to remove this? I've tried everything I can think of. Thanks!

You can disable it but you can't use the space it used to take up at the top of the home screen. I just got holo launcher (a home screen app) and now I have all that space usable too.

After disable Google Search, try to apply the theme again and the search bar should be disappeared.
The biggest app I use is Flashlight/Torch. I use it 50+ times a day and cm10 has the lovely feature of being able to remap a hardware key to it while still in lock screen. I have looked through files to see how they did it but I cannot find it. I want to be able to turn my flashlight on when in lock screen. I have been turning it on by the menu button. Is there any way I can do this on TWJB?

I could write an app to turn it on, but you'd have to have the app as a shortcut on your lock screen. Cm10 does it through the ROM so it's quite simple.. don't think it's replicable b tw.

When I open the APPS the APPS tab is there but no longer does it show the Widget tab. I'm wondering how to get it back.
Are you using the stock Touchwiz? I never had a widgets tab in the apps drawer on stock. Just touch and hold a home screen.
Are you using a different launcher?

I'm using Nova and it always had widget tab however I tried holding on start screen and HOLY COW up comes what is missing. I never knew about that. THANKS for the help.
I haven't used nova in a while but I'm sure in the nova settings is a way to bring back that tab in the apps drawer.
