somewhere in between unlocking/rooting and reflashing to stock, i lost the option to put shortcuts on the lock screen slider. im pretty sure that there was a lock screen \ shortcuts option somewhere, but cant seem to find it now. i tried clearing and reflashing again and that didnt do anything for me.
if anybody can help out with that id appreciate it.
On CM, it's under settings -> Lock screen -> Slider shortcuts. Dunno if this is elsewhere for the various other ROMs.
If your running stock I believe that they took that out. But they added lock screen widgets

yeah, im on stock. i thought i had the option for both when i first unboxed it. it was nice having the shortcuts on the circle though instead of scrolling over to a widget.
thanks guys

Do you know if there is a way to get this option in stock? Is there an apk out there for this?

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

Hey guys,
This lock screen randomly started overriding my pattern lock (I had to turn it off)...
Can any of you guys identify this and how to fix it so I can use my pattern lock again?
Thanks!

I'm running Apex... but about to switch (no idea to what!) because he's never around and never updates.
It was GO Locker - got it fixed - thanks guys
If you are still on Apex and not happy, I highly suggest Nova and experiment with it.
As for the GO locker, expect to find it randomly change on you if you have more than 2 different locker themes downloaded. I had it before I rooted and it would randomly change the locker themes on me once or twice a week.
Irritating to say the least.
I know I know it's something everyone has been asking...At least I think so....Been searching around the web and thought I would come to you guys as my first post and question! I know there are some apps that can provide notifications in the lockscreen so you don't have to type in your password or pin to see what they recently said, now my question...is there a rootable app, something that can change the current lockscreen on the SGS3 to have these notifications? none of them seemed to work or are really buggy and not supported anymore, I know Iphone has this, infact I think this is the only reason to get an Iphone, just for the notifications in the lockscreen! If there are any legit ones that work and people still know about them please don't hesitate to answer and thanks for reading!

Widget locker from the market will allow you to see widgets on the lock screen. So you will also need to choose a SMS widget, plenty out there

I tried the widget locker thing and it quite badly sucked....wouldn't have any haptic feedback even though it was clicked on, and when I pressed home button after I turned on the screen it would completely bypass my password which is stupid...

Alternatives to Handscent: Go SMS (my personal fav -- can be put into a "lightweight" mode), Pansi SMS (simply awesome, lightweight, love it).
When you long-press the shortcuts in the notification bar, it takes you directly to the settings for that function.
If you have a pattern lock set up, if you hold the last dot the 4 lockscreen shortcuts pop up.
If you guys find other shortcuts lg has put in, please post.

When performing your unlock gesture, hold down on the last dot. The OP didn't mean the corner dot (unless thats the last dot in your gesture of course)
OHHH!!!! Wow that is sick!!! Thanks for clearing things up for me.
Edit: Still amazed by the pattern lockscreen gesture. If this isn't part of AOSP or Cyanogenmod, I think it should be. This makes opening apps a lot faster while still keeping your phone safe. Gotta say that LG has really impressed by this simple modification.
Honestly i prefer it to be the other way around - lock screen shortcuts,then gesture unlock. But glad this exists for our phone.

I am not affiliated with this app at all. I'm just sharing.
I'm currently running MROM with holo launcher and this app, holo locker. It's an AOSP jellybean lockscreen, and it runs pretty well. For those who are still using GB, this is a great way to make your phone look and feel up to date. Enjoy.

Runs very smoothly, does yours have delay where it shows the homescreen for a brief moment before the lockscreen appears?
Not all the time.

Frustrated with bot Holo and Go Lockers. It seems like at first they work fine (maybe not, this might happen from the begining), but then the OEM/AOSP lockscreen starts showing up before the Holo/Go lockscreen. I've uninstalled both until I find out how to fix that. Send emails, but haven't got any replies yet.

What rom are you on right now, and can I assume you set the lockscreen security to none in the rom before applying your custom lockscreen?

I was on CM7 and don't remember ever seeing a way to turn off the lock screen altogether.
Now I'm on miui and using magic locker, working fine.
I think it may have something to do with choosing the locker as the " default launcher"
The magic locket makes it apparent that you need to do that for it work properly.
