I absolutely love the ripple effect unlock on the S3 - But I kinda hate the lockscreen itself (bad quality image for the wallpaper, ugly clock, non-customized icons for shortcuts, etc...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could either customize the S3 lockscreen and use my own clock widgets and/or icons OR somehow get the ripple effect unlock over to my WidgetLocker screen...?
I'd probably just prefer to use the ripple unlock in WidgetLocker.

Not sure on this, widgetlocker is great, but I find it causes wakelocks which isn't helpful. I just wish there was a way to what shortcuts show on the stock lockscreen, and wish it showed todays calendar appointments. That would make it pretty close to perfect without dealing with widgetlockers battery drain issue.
Fwiw, I notice that widget locker constantly asks for your location in the permissions log... Not widget related as I had nothing on the screen just a slider. Guessing that is what causes the wakelock'ing

You can change what shortcuts on lockscreen. Settings. Security. Lock screen options. Short cuts

Awesome, thanks for that.... Now if we could only get Calendar appointments to display, maybe a dev will work it out. Although probably just use the AOKP / CM lockscreen if that's the case when the time comes.
Install water drops plus from the play store and choose whichever wallpaper you like to put under the water and you can use it with widget locker.. Maybe add a transparent slider for now also... That's the best thing I can think of

Disable automatic drops in settings so it only ripples on touch unless yu like it automatic.. Just play around with it..

Heh i sent the author of WidgetLocker an email the other day talking about this very thing....
I not only like the ripple effect but the slider itself being able to be used from ANYWHERE on the screen is nice.
Usually WidgetLocker is very good about adding features and fixing issues in the past.. the only reason I can see him not being able to do something like this would be due to restrictions with the OS itself.
As for the suggestion on waterdrops.. that's great if you don't already use a LiveWallpaper If you use a Livewallpaper like I do, you cannot have 2 of them running at once (one for the lockscreen and one for the normal phone operation).

Hi there. I have a galaxy s3 since a mounth or two and i have a contact that i call 20 or 25 time per day.
I want to know if there is a HACK or a MOD to integrate a direct call shortcut to the original lockscreen of the S3.
Thanks
I'm not sure about a hack/mod for the stock lock screen - someone else will hopefully clue you in about that.
Failing that though you could replace the stock lock screen with Widgetlocker which will allow you to add custom shortcuts and widgets (such as a direct dial widget for instance) to the lock screen.

Thanks for your reply. Hope in next Version Samsung will include this option in the stock ROM

I know this is old topic but Samsung did no changes to solve the problem. I wanted to keep original lock screen and be able to launch shortcuts from it, so I wrote an app for it. Application can be mapped with any shortcut, so when you press app icon it works like pressing shortcut icon. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change app icons, so I put launcher icons with different numbers on it.
Application is called Shortcut Launcher. You can download it from Google Play.
And if you don't want to install stuff, you could just add a call contact widget on the homescreen, you would still have to unlock it but it's some steps quicker
You can also use the ROM SlimBean, it has the option to add widgets to the lockscreen
I've searched around and haven't found anything, so I've come here.
Does anyone know of any possible way to have multiple widgets on a lockscreen?
Keep in mind im on a normal lock screen. No pattern, code etc, and I would just like to be able to have more then one widget on a lock screen at a time.
Thank you,

You can only have one widget per lockscreen at a time. you can have multiple lockscreen pages but all with only one widget. If you need multiple widgets on one lockscreen page then try widget locker.
I'm looking for help to either blackout, make transparent or remove the notification panel clock (drop down clock) and the lockscreen clock. I have already tired xblast tools and wanam xposed. Niether one gave me the desired results. I read that these can be modified in the systemui.apk, however I'm on a mac so the necessary tools aren't really available, that I am aware of. Anyways any input regarding a workaround or a solution would be much appreciated. Thanks
Update: I was able to take care of the notification panel clock via Wanam. Still looking for a solution for the lockscreen though.
For the lock screen clock.
Under locks sreen settings turn on multiple widgets.
Then you can press and hold on the clock to remove it.
And also can add whatever widget you want in its place.

Anyway to change or edit not using a third party lock screen app? With root access.

Actually this is pretty simple. With the lockscreen up just slide the clock to the right. A new screen with a big plus sign should appear that you should press. You'll have to use whatever method you normally use to unlock your screen at this point. Add whatever widget you want. Delete the circle clock (just drag it up to the trashcan), and then slide the widget you really want over. QED.
There are some 3rd party apps in the Play Store that will change your lockscreen (Like Go Locker, iOS7 Lockscreen, Widget Locker, Android L LockScreen etc). You generally have to disable your lockscreen by selecting "None" from the Select screen lock setting found in Settings>Lockscreen
I personally don't like these as they have to constantly have to run in the background but they are there
Henri made a great suggestion though, stock Android allows you to customize the lockscreen a lot now by adding widgets and whatnot
Hello good people!! So what i miss in s23 ultra is weather info in always on diaplay like apple or pixel. I know there are some hacks with weather apps but the implementation js usually poor and looks terrible from UI perspective. Alao, who likes to see the weather everytime on notification panel anyway??
Wondering if there are any other options? If not, can we somehow request this so Samsung? This is a big need to make AOD user friendly instead of maybe adding bitmozi and gifs..
Any thoughts ?
I just use an app called today weather and i keep the live notification for weather and on the lockscreen it shows the notification and on the aod it shows the current temp and a small icon of the current weather.

Is the live notification for today weather or the stock weather app? I cannot get it to show for TW nor show on aod Lock Screen
It has to be today weather because ive removed almost every stock app on my device
If you remember how you enabled that please share. I cannot find a way to add anything to the aod lock screen

And on my aod it shows the current temp as a little notification circle thing. You have to have aod show notifications
You can do that with weather bug as well. But the bubble is always there hindering space for other notifications and the weather is always on in notification panel which i find disturbing so stopped using it. I understand these are just work arounds but i wonder, is it possible to bring pjxel like AOD in samsung? The finishing is way better in pixel although it supports less options.
