Hey guys,
I have Go Locker but my stock lock screen refuses to go away. I have tried No Lock and other similar apps.
I am running Eclipse 2.0.4.
Thanks in advance!
I had that same exact problem running Go Locker. If I rebooted, it would fix it for a while, but the problem always came back. I switched to Widget Locker and my stock lock screen doesn't appear anymore. Personally, I just thought it was an issue with Go Locker since it stopped once I switched to Widget Locker, but someone more knowledgeable than I can address if it's fixable. I never found a way, even after changing and manipulating every possible setting.

Sorry for bumping this, but I'm having the exact same problem (other phone though SG Gio). Anyone knows if this is fixable withing Go Locker ? I'll also try Widget Locker...

I don't know much about GO pocket but I do know widget locker can and we'll disable the stock lockscreen.
While on the widget locker lockscreen goto:
Settings/advanced/disable stock lockscreen

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
Well, I'm a huge GO fanboy and GO Locker doesn't disappoint. I love it and I'd thought I'd share considering we have limited lockscreen options. I like the Fourkey Theme.

I noticed in Gallery there's drawable-hdpi (37) with all the image files in there. I suppose you could change #37, which is the background of the widget. I guess in theory you could customize any of those files to customize the locker. It's just a guess though and I haven't attempted to try to change anything though.
I wonder if this will eventually become a full blown WidgetLocker/Executive Assistant type replacement. Can you add widgets to this app? Now that would make this an awesome app!
Anyone else get the bonus feature of not being able to swipe homescreens from left to right every now and then unless you swipe the other direction first?
This would happen to me with GOLauncherEX fairly frequently on my GSII , and I have stopped using it because of that. Now I am back on stock TW4 with no issues.

FWIW, I've never had that happen to me once and I've been running Go Launcher EX on my SGS2 almost since the day I got it.
And I've been using Go Launcher as my go-to launcher app for quite a while now, across quite a few different Android phones.

Try switching to conservative governor. Might fix it.

I always use the conservative gov.
But I did a full wipe and reinstall today, so I'll check it out.
Update to the app today, lets you finally pick the background!
Does this let you put widgets on the home screen?
My biggest use for widgetlocker is to have a pandora widget and volume controls on my unlock screen so I can use it [in my workshop or garage] without needing to unlock every time.
Extract image from GO LOCKER ICS theme background
Hello all,
I recently installed GO LOCKER with an ICS and was wondering if I could use the locker background as the background for my phone as well?
Is there any way to extract the image from somewhere through a file manager?
Thanks in advance!
I upgraded from Overcome v2.1.1 to v2.2.0 and it is no longer possible to set the lock screen wallpaper. In the Screen setting when I select the Lock screen wallpaper it sets the Home screen wallpaper instead.
Anyone else have this problem?

Nope, this problem use to be in resent versions but solved in 2.2.0, for me at least.

I would but I don't have enough posts to be able to reply in that section.
The lock screen wallpaper can be set if I select an image from the gallery. When I did that it set the wallpaper but the device crashed and reboot itself when I rotated at the lock screen.
I did have Widgetlocker installed when I upgraded the Overcome ROM. I'm guessing it may have screwed up something with the Screen settings menu. I've uninstalled that app but it made no difference.
Look issues in @alterbridge post:
"Unable to set lockscreen wallpaper from android 3.2.2 launcher (use the TW launcher patch if you require this functionality)"
My question is:
Are you sure that you install twlauncher patch?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda premium
It is possible to set the lock screen wallpaper from the gallery so I probably won't use the twlauncher patch.

Have you got this solved?
i believe the patch will definetely solve this. I had this issue with lock screen in 2.1.1 version and I had to install the patch and it worked fine after that but what didn't work was the calendar, social hub, ebook and facebook videos on facebook app. even though i applied the patch available then.
I am still looking for solution to the above and tonight I am upgrading to 2.2 . fingers crossed - hope it sorts out all the above.
experienced the exact same issue that you mentioned.
cant change the lock screen picture and when try to change from settings>screen> it changes the HOME screen BG.
This is a complete wipe OC 2.2 rom install.
I didnt want to apply the TW launcher patch and had no choice as I want to be able to change the lock screen graphics. After the patch it works fine.
But i want it to work without TW launcher.Any one would know if it is possible to remove the TW launcher patch and revert back to original OC2.2
btw the OC2.2 is perfectly smooth!!! love it and Big thanks to the dev team.
Can this be done on the note. I really don't like the one that comes with it. I am using widget locker but I want to lock the phone and I don't like the stock one.
had the same question.
Only way I found was go into Gallery and pick image and set-as then you'll get a lock screen option.
I'm using MIUI locker, the resolution is a little off making the text and objects a little small.
But, i love the ICS style screen with the for unlock options.
Go Locker is good too.
I will def fix that issue .. if I can ever put my hand on the note
Widget locker costs a few bucks but is really customizable as well.

Thanks, this worked just fine.
Hi All,
Just curious if anyone can advise on what seems to be the BEST settings to use on Widget Locker on the SGSIII so that you dont run into issues with the stock lockscreen showing up first and then Widget Locker kicking in and other issues like those that I have had with Widget Locker over the past years on my devices?
If anyone can be of assistance I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks... :fingers-crossed:

First of all you can turn off stock lockscreen in Settings/ Lock Screen/ Screen Lock set it to none... You didn't mentioned are you on ICS or JB? For me Widget Locker worked perfectly on ICS but on JB there are some problems (like immediately unlocking without me scrolling unlock) and I am not the only one that have issues.

I had this problem but managed to fix it. However, your phone must be rooted. In the widget locker settings go to advance and HomeHelper. Tick everything ON, select your HomeHelper's Launcher and tap "Select System Home". Chose WL HomeHelper and tap Always. Go back to Advance settings and tap Root Helper. Tick on first three options. Your Widget Locker should work fine now.
PS. I found this solution somewhere on this forum but don't have a link.
I am on Dark Paranoid JB... Thanks for the responses. I will try these and see what happens...
