I am running Cognition v3.02, JL1. I love the ROM but am wanting a different lock screen. It comes stock with the captivate lock screen. I would rather have the android lock screen with mute option or HTC or some other option. Is there an .apk file that I can download and install or does it have to be specific for the ROM I'm running?
WidgetLocker
I did see that but I was hoping to get something free or an .apk, something that doesn't run another service or task.
lockbot free, search in market.
I tried lockbot, it is ok, but I am also using noLED. It is an .apk that shows notifications on the home screen since the captivate doesn't have an LED. What I'm looking for is more lock screens that I can add to the options in my ROM. I'm pretty sure that 2.3 cognition had them but they are not in the new version, and I'm not sure how to pull them out of another build and add to mine (or even what to look for, for that matter)

Is there a known simple method to alter the useless lock screen on the captivate.it's not exactly pocket proof. Also I saw a lock screen somewhere that had several sliders that could launch the phone, mms, ect....
if I could skip the home screen when making a call/text that'd be awesome.

Checkout WidgetLocker, works great.
or if you would like a free alternative but not as yet polished as it is new try Simply Lockscreen
the one your looking for that goes to phone, sms, email, and home is called GOTO... i had it on for a little bit... but ultimately kept the original lock screen
There's a widget named No Lock that lets you bypass the lock screen altogether. It's on the market and it works fine on my stock Captivate.
One tiny issue is that you have to hold the on/off button a little longer than normal to wake up the phone.
Thanks guys. Widget locker it is for me!

this thing is the bomb! never looked back on my stock lockscreen
+1 for No Lock. Great as the Captivate has only capacitive buttons and volume buttons dont seem to activate the screen!
The problem I'm having with most of these alternate lock screens is that quite often the Samsung one still comes up and then I have to unlock twice. If that doesn't happen then sometimes two of the new lockscreen will come up.
I've tried changing around settings but every one I try has these similar issues. Is there no way to just disable the TouchWiz lockscreen?
I love my newly rooted Aria... I do however miss my lock screen. I loved having the Aria lock, where you pull the whole lock screen down to get to your apps. With CM6 you get the slide bar to unlock. It's not terrible, but I'd really really prefer to use the old Aria lock screen... Anyone know if this is available anywhere or how I go about doing it? Thanks in advance...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I BELIEVE that lock screen is sense ui and since sense (that sounds weird) is proprietary it cannot be added to CM6...there are however many lock screen apps that will allow you to choose something remarkably similar to the sense lock screen...widget locker is one of them.
Also, how did you manage to get the slide? When I unlock (bring my phone back from standby) it just shows me my visible dots for unlock pattern and once I enter that brings me to my home screen...

Hm, did you try just disabling your lock pattern? It's either in the CM6 settings or the ADW Launcher settings. By default after I rooted my phone the lock screen was a little slider bar, not like the iphone slider, it was a little tab on the left of the screen and when you hold it you slide it to the right. I ended up just disabling my lock screen completely but would go back to the old sense lock if I figure out how. I do remember reading somewhere that disabling the dot lock pattern will default to the slider lock screen, should work for you.
Tried to flash to cog 2.3b6 from 2.2b6. Apparently something went wrong, because I don't have a launcher. It just displays a black screen after the lock screen. Everything still works. Phone calls, noticfication bar, Running apps switcher.
Is there any way to reach to get to the Market to maybe download a launcher? Menu doesn't work at the black screen that's supposed to be home.
I'm not sure if it's part of the launcher, but are you able to long press on the home screen and add shortcuts? If not I'd say reflash.

Either push a launcher via adb or reflash your phone.
Hi everyone, I've been using WidgetLocker as my lock screen for awhile now and obviously I'm using it now on the HTC One. So here's the question: When I unlock the screen on WidgetLocker, it always goes to the homescreen and I find that it's closing whatever I had opened last. Instead, I want it to go to the last app I had opened. I've checked to make sure that the unlock to home option in WidgetLocker was not checked, but is there something native to the phone that is doing this? If so how do I find it? Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I just got my OPO and Im in the process of trying to customize it the way I want it. I know what i want to do but I haven't been able to figure out how to accomplish it despite searching. In simplest term I am looking for a more functional lock screen. A major priority is launching google now without unlocking the phone. I searched for Ok google anywhere, but only came up with aftermarket apps. I previously had some version of jellybean on my kindle where the lockscreen allowed me to choose between unlocking the phone, and launching google now. Is there something I can install or a similar rom for Kit Kat and the OPO?
So far I installed an app called Slidelock which displays messages and notifications on the lock screen iphone style. It works great but an option that lets me quick reply from there would be even better. I haven't come across such an app or setting. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

You can "call" Google now from any screen including the lock screen just:
Open Google Now
Settings
Voice
"Ok Goole" Detection
And select the options you want: From Anyscreen and From Lock Screen
Done.

For notifications. Try echo notifications
I think its much better then slidelock and nlis notifications. 100% free no ads

echo replaces the lockscreen, which makes it a no no for me, but some people do like that.
Nils you can set up by changing to aosp lockscreen on the opo, (settings lockscreen, disable custom lockscreen) then adding the widget, moving widget to default position then swapping back to custom lockscreen in the lockscreen settings.
