Does anyone know of any way to either change the default lock screen clock / weather items? Or remove it completely?
I tried Holo Locker but it does not seem to work.
I don't want to disable my lock screen completely, just have it as close to the stock Google as possible. I hate the Sense weather that comes with the One. I understand I can add something like DashClock but I am not able to set it as the default lock screen.
Any help is appreciated.
No possible to put any other lockscreen on than the ****ty default one. You can of course add the lockscreens you actually do want to the "right" of the default one but this is incredibly dumb to force us on their ****ty lock screen.
I want dashclock and can't get it to be the default.
I agree. Well, thanks for the response. I wish we could change it.

You just have to wait for a modified kernel to do this.

Sad that they restrict the basic functionality that almost any phone on the market right now can do just to force this on us. What a shame.
Does widget locker not work? It worked fine on my M7

Although it says in Settings > Personalize "Choose... lock screen wallpaper", there is no way to actually change the image. On earlier versions of HTC Sense for Android you could have a different picture on the lock screen and as a wallpaper, but not now. Another backward step or am I missing something?
I saw it also, the information is still in the user manual by the way, but not possible.
Is there a way to have the weather widget on lockscreen?
Thanks for your help
Nothing on my menus for lock screen...would be nice but tbh I'm not that fussed
I want to be able to change it too. I rather liked that feature on my Hero

I downloaded LockBotPro... its a good app an there's a decent amount of customization you can do to the lock screen... add your own wallpaper, lock slider & sound effect but shame its not compatibile with the AndWobble app, that would of made it a thousand times better
Is it possible to have live/animated lock screen themes with LockBotPro?

great app, but how can I upgrade to pro, when the market is not opened for paid apps?
EDIT: Sorry, I see now I can't...until it's rooted at least...

Not sure, but i would hardly imagine anyone having a go at it, people are trying to run away from live wallpapers to save up some battery life
This feature worked for me, and was present in the settings menu. ALthough I noticed at some point that my lockscreen image was not what I set it to, and the menu option was not there anymore......
I went back expecting the menu option to be there but it wasn't. Wonder whats going on. The feature was there and it worked for me...
Hi, I am looking to change the dock on my Evo. It isn't rooted and I was just wondering if that was possible? If so can somebody please point me in the right direction? I tried to search, but didn't really know what to search. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
To be honest I don't even know if I am calling it by the right name. I want to change the thing at the bottom of the screen where you click to go to the phone,your apps and add something to your home screen. I would like to pit icons there instead of the stock bar.

See this thread, allows you to restore the stock 2.2 Android launcher. Otherwise LauncherPRO is excellent as well (its what I use).
I installed LauncherPro and the big clock is gone is there anyway to get my clock back and use the bottom icons from LauncherPro?
You need to install a widget for the clock. Either hold down on your home screen and select the widget, or download one from the market.

Thanks very much!! Still learning Android
Is there a way to put the stock big clock on there that shows the weather?

Do a search for "fancy widget". It's pretty much just like the HTC clock.
I recommend beautiful widgets because you can change the font/look of it to pretty much whatever you want, as long as you don't mind dropping a few bucks on it.
Is there anyway to change this, to a slide bar or something?
Just come from a HD2 running stock desire rom and the current SGS2 one seems a bit...naff in comparison.
Try widgetlocker. Slide to unlock plus slide to any app

WidgetLocket works perfectly and when activated stops the default locker from appearing.

Adding the stock lockscreen is very complicated, requires editing of the framework.jar and android-services.jar aswell as framework res.
I will begin work on it once we have fully functional deodexed rom

Do you think you will be able to do it? Really don't like using bolt on lock screens like widgetlocker.
Depends how similar to the origional sgs the java files are. That's the complicated bit. Waiting on cwm for backups and deodexed rom, then work will begin

If you haven't given widget locker a go yet I would try it.
It's even better if you've rooted and increased your lcd density somewhat (192 seems good to me). I love being able to unlock straight to SMS, Email & camera, while being able to use torch mode without unlocking too... etc.
The old lock screen is still on in the background. Sometimes it flashes up when I unlock. Is it a bad idea to disable through Widget Locker?
I love widget locker, but I'm finding it a pain - my home button first start bypassing it, then when I figured that fix out, hold it down still activates the task manager grr
WidgetLocker is great - I've been using it for about a year but only found out the other day that you can get custom themes for the sliders, and because they're mostly just zipped up image files it was relatively easy to customise.

This is the 5 second problem. It's discussed in the Widget Locker documentation (and in the settings menus too).
If you root your phone you can get rid of it once and for all. Otherwise Homehelper is supposed to maybe help, but I never managed to completely get rid of the system lock screen till I rooted as you can't override the 5 second thing.

Okay. Planning on rooting my advice so may try that. Cheers. What is home helper? Do you mean root helper?
Widgetlocker on my O2 branded unrooted SG2 worked perfectly. However, now I have rooted it and flashed the unbranded firmware the home button overrides it meaning just pressing the home button twice unlocks the phone.
Anyone else with this issue? I have checked to make sure the option to allow the home button to unlock is unticked.
Edit - Ignore me, forgot the Homehelper needed to be set as default.

DO you think it would be possible to add Cyanogen's unlock screen (with rotary unlock and stuff) or would that be even harder ?
I would love to see the AOSP lock screen pop up on the SGS2.
my vote is the puzzle unlock from some sgs models.

That one is built into Widget Locker if you don't mind using that. Given the power and battery life on the phone I'm quite happy to do that. Although my resource reporting apps show Widget Locker as quite a hog.
I hate the Widget locker icon in the notification area. It makes me sad.
Hello,
I was a bit surprised when I found out that I can pull down my status bar while my s4 mini is locked - on my old s3 it was not possible.
It seems to me that it doesn't match the use of a lockscreen...
Can I anyhow deactivate this?
Thanks!

If you use a password/pin/pattern lock, that should disable the pull down.

Just tried - yes, that works... thanks! But can you tell me why it is possible if I don't use it?
Its always possible if you don't have a secure lock screen. It's been like that on my previous Galaxy S phones including the S3. I think its just so you can view any notifications without the need to unlock the device that's all.

Well... I think it a design decision by Google... No secure lock = access to your phone anyways = why bother, let have pull down menu enabled....
I also wish there was a feature to disabling it with insecure lockscreen...
AFAIK, This has been a feature of Android starting from Ice Cream Sandwich. If you don't have a secure lockscreen, then the statusbar can be pulled down in the lockscreen
If you'd rather not have a lock pin then you can use a 3rd party lock screen app like widgetlocker. I use it with its roothelper feature to disable the notification curtain when locked.
Now if only Kevin would add this feature to Nova Launcher so my kids couldn't change any of my settings! Come on Kevin!

Well, for the life of me I can't figure out how to add widgets to the lock screen. I did customize my shortcuts as per instructions (just change the ones in Sense, even if you're using a different launcher), but widgets? I read I'm supposed to swipe left on the lock screen, but nothing happens...
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure that feature has been removed since the One M8, even since Android Lollipop.

Ah ok, so I'm not stupid or crazy after all.... thanks!
Would you happen to know if there is any third-party lockscreen that supports fingerprint and widgets?

Not that I know of unless you have a Samsung (Their Good Lock app works with widgets).
Thanks man. Certainly sounds weird!
Sense must allow other widgets on the lock screen, too.
