Download widget locker from market it has a variety of lockscreens and extras.
Mod the lockscreen without root? Nah... you root access to replace system files.

if you are not rooted, most probably you will see two lockscreens.
anyway, lockscreen alternatives are; widgetlocker, lockbot, lockit etc......
Does anyone know how to replace the standard lockscreen on a rooted stock 2.2?
I have Widget Locker but now and again the original screen pops up and it can be a bit of a pain sometimes.
Thanks.

in my opinion, the reason you see 2 lockscreens is because of android system 5 second rule. any lockscreen other than stock one, will have to wait 5 to initialize. however, in widget locker you can bypass this rule. turn on home helper option in behaviour, and make sure 5 sec bypass is checked. if it is unchecked, check it.
hope it will help.

This is an issue with htc sense roms. on aosp roms like cm6 or cm7, the original lock never shows up with the 5 second root bypass rule activated.
Try Lockbot Pro..it has a variety of Lock screens to choose from like Eclair style, iPhone, Froyo etc....it shows up only one lock screen though..and you ve an option to unlock the screen using any hardware button not just power button, nifty feature
For not visualizer 2 lockscreen you must use no lock

I bought WidgetLocker, I enabled it, but when I lock/unlock, it first displays my normal lockscreen, and then 1 second later it displays WidgetLocker.
Did I do something wrong, or do I need to remove my default lockscreen?
This problem only happens in sense roms, you can try an app called no lock. On aosp roms widget locker works perfectly.
Oh and to change theme all you have to do is play around with your framework-res...

Weird because I'm on cm7.
Ill try what you said though, thanks.
did you enable the 5 second root bypass rule in widget locker?
Nope didn't try that since I didn't know what that was.
Ill try to do it, thanks.
Thanks works now.
Any way to get more sliders?
Pull the apk from your phone, and mod the sliders yourself, uninstall and reinstall widgetlocker.
Heaps of mods here if you're lazy.

Try Lockbot Pro...it has so many in-built sliders to try from...one looking like iPhone, Froyo or Eclair style..it almost does the same functionality as does WidgetLocker , save some customisation
Where can I find aosp lockscreen? I dont like widget locker and deleting the sense lock screen looks like a mess. Is there a way to just flash an aosp one? Thanks!

Android AOSP's lock screen is transparent. i believe there are applications out there that will allow one to change the lock screen image even if on AOSP style ROMS.
might want to look into this http://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker

Good to know! I was just hoping for something like the nexus one/g2 etc lockscreen, just like that one in that thread but not see through lol. Is there anyway to pull the lock screen from cm6 or cm7 and make it a flashable zip to use on my phone if that makes sense? ha sorry for any confusion, like on my vibrant I could change the lockscreen to all these different ones but Im having touble finding any options with MT4G

I am not familiar with scripting so i do not know if that is possible. I know the link i posted ealier is simple way to get a AOSP lock screen. if that is what you are wanting. and it contains a flash-able Sense Lock screen.
That method is weird. You can see the icon instead of just you're wallpaper. Someone could probably pull the apk apart and set a wallpaper in it, but im not sure.

"Pulling" the Lockscreen.apk out of CM6/CM7 would be the same as deleting the HTCLockscreen.apk on a Sense-based ROM. the CM6/7 Lockscreen is a version of the AOSP Lockscreen, deleting HTCLockscreen.apk forces the OS to revert to the AOSP Lockscreen.
Option 94, you talking about the screen caps of Widget Locker? id ya are your not seeing them through the lockscreen, they are on the lock screen.
Hey everyone. I was wondering if there was a method to change the icon set in Touchwiz 4.0 (yes im rooted) to something else other then what they have as stock.
And furthermore, ARE there any icon sets out there? I saw a couple of cool looking screens in the post your screenshot thread, but i'm not sure if that was because they were using some different launcher.
Thanks,
diabolical
I am also interested in this. I really like touch wiz ui and all the features but i strongly dislike the childlike icons. Is there anyway we can change the icons without changing launchers?
I was wondering if we can have the
HTC Sensation XE Lock screen (with the circle to launch)
on the Samsung Galaxy S ll
The HTC lockscreen is cool. Just get the app Agilelock. It duplicates it perfectly. Only issue i found is right when you install, it pops up a message that you cant read, unless you can read some form of chinese. Hit the right button. The left button will download something.

They probably used a theme (with a custom launcher). I think launcher themes change entire icon sets. Other than that, idk.

like a lot of people, i'm not much a fan of the default sense lockscreen -- especially on ICS. just curious what kinda lockscreen replacement apps you guys are using. i've tried out widgetlocker in the past and loved it...just saw simply lockscreen and like the way it looks but read there's a lot of bugs with it.
your thoughts?
I've been using Widget Locker for 6 months now and got no problem whatsoever with it. Maybe you should give it a spin once more

Agreed. Widgetlocker is awesome.
You can always default to ICS AOSP lockscreen built into ANY sense Rom.
Use estrongs or root explorer.
Navigate to system/app
Find htclockscreen.apk
Rename to htclockscreen.apk.bak
Check out your new lock screen.
It's the one with camera and unlock left to right.
No extra services running, simply rename back to have sense lockscreen back. If changes don't happen immediately, a reboot will fix.

I use Go locker. You can download a bunch of themes for it.
Try this lockscreen, it has a totally new concept.
I have been using this for a week now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745177,
Yes
I've always wanted a lockscreen that permitte dme to lock and also access the camera, with a pin on the lockscreen. Is there any non-stock that support this function?
I must be missing because I can't find where the option is to change them. Looked in personalize/lock screen

I think the stock sense lockscreen is trash. Check out widgetlocker on the google store. I had this installed on the old evo, and reinstalled on here. I have ~15 shortcuts on my lock screen. Most of the apps I use all the time.

I'm fine using the stock one just want to put the camera app on it, but can't find where I would change that.

This is a big maybe since I only played with it for about 2 minutes before getting widget locker installed. I believe the lock screen icons mimic the same icons present at the dock when not locked. So if you add a camera down there, it should show up in the lock screen too.

I think it automatically puts whatever apps are in the dock of the default sense launcher on the lockscreen. I am using GoLauncher, but I changed the apps in the default launcher and they now show up on the lock screen.

Thanks That was it. I don't like that, it should have an option to put what you want even if its different than the dock.

I was just having this same problem and found this thread in my search. All my shortcuts were right except for one and I could not for the life of me figure out why. No matter what I changed it would not change. Soon as I read this post I switched back to the default launcher, changed that dock shortcut, changed back to ADW launcher and Bam! Problem solved! Thanks!

So, by this reasoning...you could go to the stock launcher, put 4 things in the dock...change back to ADW and change the dock and keep the lockscreen icons?
EDIT: Yup...sweet.

Yes AS LONG AS you don't kill off Sense launcher because upon reboot since the stock launcher doesn't run, the lockscreen cannot read the icons. So you can but you'd be wasting resources by having two launchers run at the same time.
