Have tried a quick search, but got no specific answers.
I prefer the SGS's stock lockscreen over the android version, and wondered if there was a quick way to reinstalling thislock screen in a custom ROM - I'm currently using Doc's ROM.
If there isn't a quick method, thanks in advance for any help with other threads/links etc.
I believe the Samsung Stock lockscreen is still present on every Custom Rom,
go to Settings > Display > Unlock Screen then choose Samsung Unlock.
That's it you have the stock lockscreen activated, hope that helps.
Ooops, hadn't even thought of checking there...Just assumed the android lockscreen "overwrote" the samsung one.
Lesson learnt -assume nothing..
Sorry - one of many senior moments I seem to be having today.
Many thanks!
Lock screens depends on your theme, all themes should have it though

Hi there,
Currently I'm using Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition and I'm very satisfied (except for a bit battery drain on which I'm still trying to improve).
The thing is, before upgrading to Darky's I was able to set 2 different backgrounds for lockscreen and unlockscreen.
Now when I select a wallpaper it automatically becomes the lockscreens wallpaper as well. There is no way I can seperate the 2 anymore by my knowledge.
Is there any way to have a different lockscreen again?
Thanks in advance!
Same problem here,
Hoping for some answers soon!

Is that the only way? If I have to flash it all over again then nvm. I just customised everything. Isn't there an easier way to do this? Like use darkys configurator for it?
If you flash using darkys configurator and unselect 'wipe device' all ur settings will stay the same. And if you flashed a theme u can flash the theme again straight after flashing the rom. Non of your settings/customisations will be affected.

You can install the Modded 3D Gallery directly from the app "SGS Tools" without flashing a new ROM, by Fr4gg0r, here : ht*p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775154
(Idk if it's exactly what you need, try it )
its the same with me, you can only change lockscreen wallpaper when your using 'samsung unlock'
with the other 3 - android unlock - puzzle unlock - epic unlock it will not work
Is it possible, after rooting, to get the stock Android unlockscreen?
not development moved to general
Just install "Widgetlocker" from market
You can customize it to look exact like stock lockscreen or with moer features
I use "Goto lockscreen" though

Is there any lag using widgetlocker? been tempted before but thought it might create some lag.
Fairly sure soon there will be a .zip file that will be available for the stock lockscreen or when we get an AOSP ROM the stock lockscreen will be included.

Haven't experienced any lag with DHD using widgetlocker...
but the alternative, would be to remove the LG lockscreen on a rooted phone and push stock lockscreen instead... should be possible already now, but haven't tried it... Guess I'll just wait a few days for custom ROM instead
Widgetlocker or GOTO lockscreen is the easiest alternative right now
1. Lock screens are very simple and boring. Stock lock screen is far better,, Are there any lock screens to be added in this rom?? If yes any links please...
2. In messages, recipient image is seen but my image is always greyed out. Is there a way to put a image for Me as we can in ICS mms.apk??
Performance , stability are all just awesome.. i ve settled back to official cm7.2 nightly 120812 after testing all possible ROMs..
Looks like you installed the rom, it booted, you saw this different lockscreen which you didn't like and bam you created a new thread.
Did you even remotely try to check the lockscreen settings section? You can change the lockscreen over there!

i ve checked the settings for lock screen and all are just crap... stock rom lockscreen is far better.. any chances of adding extra more lock screens to cm7.2 is my question.
Hold on. Which stock lockscreen do you mean? The slide to unlock option is included in the options!

you have understood my question correctly and replied well.. thanks.. i do not know from where they get the stock unlock scrren in cm settings for all other users who has replied before...
When will the take out for s5830i?
Hello!
I am getting a little into flashing my N7000 and so far I have travelled from rooting, to upgrading to the latest official Note ROM that was released in another country than mine, to SuperNExus to most recently Slim Bean
I am missing a couple of the original apps from the stock ROM (latest one I used was "XXLSZ_Stock_deodexed_rooted_eybee1970")
Apparently, just copying them out from the ZIP file and trying to install them isn't the right way to do.
Among others, I need
* S Note
* The app/function that knows when I plug in my headset and it shows that whole new page
* Dialer
* Keyboard with the digits on top
* Clock / Alarm clock
* S Planner Calendar
Most important is that I want to learn more and understand the main problem.
So copying wasn't the right way.
I have a feeling (based on fragments that I read here and there) that flashing might be the right way, file-permissions and stuff.
If I am on the right track - is there any software/tool that creates a flashable file for me? I have been rooting around inside the ZIP files and I understand some of the ideas, the update-script and so. But trying to make one own from scratch is too hard right now.
Another problem I had once, was the pointer image. Previously, it was a nice little circle. Then at some point (maybe the Nexus ROM) it became a classical window-arrow. I managed to understand how to open an APK, switch out the PNG file and so on. But since I didn't know how to flash in just that APK, I had to flash in the whole ROM from scratch.
I assume that such tool I am asking about previously would have been the solution.
Beside that, I would like to know if anyone knows if there is an original-app-pack for Note already. I need to know the answer for above as well though
Thanks in advance!
[Q] Need some information about the lockscreen in SlimBean/SuperNexus ROM
I installed SuperNexus ROM and after that Slim Bean.
They both had that nice lock screen where you could swipe to bring forth the camera.
What is this lock screen called? I need that so that I can search for info about it.
Among the questions I have now are
* If I change to pattern instead of slide, I loose the ability to have shortcuts. Is there any other way to have shortcuts and pattern?
* When I swipe to the left, I see a + and I can add widgets. However, I can only add one widget and no ability to rescale the widget or anything. Is there a way to add more widgets per page or modifying the widget that is there already, like rescaling it?
Thanks!
The Samsung apps like Snote and Splanner will not work on the non-touchwiz custom roms like supernexus or slimbean. So if you want those apps you will have to flash a TW (touchwiz based) ROM like the alliance ROM. The other features like pagebuddy and the keyboard with digits on top will also be available only in the TW ROMs (you can search apps for the keyboard and pagebuddy and you may find them)

The lockscreen you are talking about is the 4.2 lock screen with lock screen shortcuts. It is a feature of Android 4.2 only. And no u do not have an option for shortcuts on the pattern lock or any of the other secure ways. But you may add a widget for the app on the lock screen clicking on the '+' symbol. And i had read about adding multiple widgets on one page of the lock screen but didn't come across with anything useful then. You can give it a try now.

What does it mean, "touchwiz based ROM". I have seen other terms, "X"-based ROM (maybe CM-based or other terms).
Is touchwiz so much more than just a launcher?

Thank you - this led me to the right direction. Sometimes you just don't know what is a native Android feature and what is a custom one
Well TW ROMs are touchwiz based ROMs. If you look out for the ROMs repository for the note, you'll notice the categories are TW based JB ROM etc. When u see the name of a rom, if there is [TW] written before it's name, it is a touchwiz based ROM. And touchwiz is not just a launcher. Touchwiz is the samsung customised version of Android like the sense UI by htc.

Okay, I understand better now.
I am assuming that you are a Note user. Can you give me your opinion on the difference, if there are any, between a TW based, or others, beside compatibility of a selection of apps and so. Is there any real, big, important difference?
And one more thing. When the term "custom ROM" is used, is that what is meant by it? A custom ROM is per automatic not the original TW in the Galaxy Note case? Or does it mean something else?
The difference between a TW ROM and a non TW ROM like a CM based ROM is in the features. TW ROMs use the stock Samsung created touchwiz roms as a base and build up on that. So u can find the stock apps and everything else with some customisations. Whereas the CM based ROMs are built upon the CyanogenMod which is in many ways similar to the original Android os available on the Google nexus. A custom ROM is a customised ROM developed by a developer. The other type of ROM is the stock ROM which you get preinstalled on your note. So all the ROMs you'll get on xda are custom ROMs developed by certain developer.

Will we be able to get lock screen widgets with any of the ROMs? Or since the ROMs have to be based on TouchWiz, does that mean we're stuck with basically just themed roms? None of the ones out yet seem interesting, they all just look stock. I'm looking for a rom with custom battery icons, new features, lockscreen widgets, etc. Really missing my Samsung Galaxy S3 with the lack of customization available for the S5.

Check out ninjamorph(in the playstore). I just found it a few days ago u can theme the heck out of your phone with it. Once you get the hang of it it's a breeze. However you do have to have your own icons to swap out or just edit the ones that are there. Here's my power menu themed with ninjamorph

ok, tested and working on my device based off of G900F OEM, this mod should work for all variants. let me know how it goes
copy to sdcard, reboot to SS Recovery and flash, then reboot.
to add or change widgets swipe left or right on the lockscreen

Very much appreciate that you took the time to do this - I'm assuming I need the ROM as well, correct? Or will this work with the stock ROM just by following your steps?

This "Should" work with stock as well as any custom ROM, (I say should because as a mod it is independant of any other requirements) but make sure you flash through SafeStrap recovery make a backup first just to be safe.

Gave it a try but no bueno with the stock ROM. After flashing the zip and rebooting, I lost the lockscreen and hardware menu and home buttons entirely, only the back button was working. Restoring my backup now -- tonight I'll try flashing your ROM and then install the lockscreen widgets.
Wanted to update this thread in case anyone else wanted Lockscreen Widgets back - I installed SafeStrap and the KoolKit ROM then flashed the zip file and I have LockScreen widgets again. Huge thank you to @cstayton for coming up with a solution so quickly!
You can also use Xposed instead of flashing SafeStrap to get Lockscreen Widgets...

xPosed has lots of modules for all sorts of different things HOWEVER, xPosed also causes some very abhorent behavior in custom roms and can cause bad behavior even in stock rooted devices most devs shy away from xPosed in favor of hard coded mods. if the module works fine for then great but if you have issues like private mode not working serious lag on your device or other problems try using the hard coded mods with a custom rom
