I know many people here have reported lag associated with the stock lockscreen that comes with the device. I was curious to know that if anyone has tried a new lockscreen and seen better results? Such as installing a vanilla AOSP lockscreen in place of the blur one and see if it makes any difference?
I dont know if the lockscreen is an actual .apk you can change out easily or not, as i have not poked around myself, but i do know that when i owned my incredible many people were switching out there sense lockscreens for vanilla ones and it didnt seem like a big deal
+1 for this question / desire. I too would like to switch out the lockscreen (and indeed some other APKs/items) for "stock" if possible...
Well, I'll tell you this. I use ADW launcher and have not noticed any lag at the lock screen. I've also seen others using custom launchers that also have said they notice no lag.
I've used adw and launcher pro and still have lag on the lock screen on 2.2

Go look up Widget Locker. It's a sexy lockscreen widget that removes lag COMPLETELY (it actually disables the android lockscreen and you use it instead. Works fansmic, allows tons of widgets on it, including shortcuts to your favorite apps fast, and security locks.
$1.99 in market - search widget locker.
The only thing with Widget Locker -- in my experience -- is that turning on the phone sometimes shows the default lockscreen for a second before fading into widget locker.
Does the home button bypass widget locker?

No lag using flyscreen either.

If you disable screen lock in Location & Security in the settings, you don't get that issue anymore.
I had the same gripe about it until I found that option to uncheck.

I didn't find the option to disable screen lock, but I turned it off using extended controls widget, which should have the same effect. Either way, thanks for the tip!
Not that this has anything to do with your op but htc does not make the droidx as per your signature. Thought you might want to know.

I don't have this option, but I downloaded "No Lock" from the marketplace and it works great with Flyscreen. (I'm using the Froyo leak posted recently)
Hey all.
I'm wondering if there's any way of getting the "Program Monitor" widget that's used with the task manager to work in other launchers that TW?
It's all that's stopping me from changing to another launcher.
Thanks
Bump, anyone? Pwease?

Anyone know lockscreen that can see launcher screen
Example
I have widget clock on screen when the phone get to lock screen
it can show widget clock not hide it.
The easiest way to do this is use widget locker and then put whatever widgets you want on the lockscreen. its paid app but well worth the price.
agreed, Widget Locker is the way to go. Saves me a lot of time. money well spent
If use widget locker you use double memory for one widget right?
example
I have one pure calendar on widget locker and another on screen it use 2 time memory
I think if lockscreen that not hide widget it not drain memory
Thanks
I haven't seen a double usage I use simiclock on both wl and home screen and no double

Widget locker has a very minimal impact on battery if that's what you're worried about. Somewhere in the app the dev goes into detail on how he avoids causing excessive battery drain.
Hi guys
Wondered if someone might be able to help. I have just started using Minimalistic text, and I love it. What I want to do is use the clock widget on my lock screen. I am running ARHD 51. I know I cant add it to the first default lock screen on sense, but can add it to the side screen. But that is no good as it doesn't come up straight away when you wake the phone. I have managed to go into the system app folder and backed up the htc sense lock screen, and then uninstalled it, this has given me the default android lock screen. By doing this I was hoping I might be able to add widgets to the very first screen, but it wont let me change it at all. I want to try and avoid using a third party lock screen from the play store and stick with the originals if poss, I use the Greenpower app to toggle the Data and wifi when I lock my screen, but third party apps don't work to well with it.
So can anybody help me get the minimalistic text clock onto the lock screen.:fingers-crossed:
Hi
I am using Locker Master and wated to add the music widget (using Walkman player) to the lock screen while music is playing. Unable to find a way to do that.
I also disabled Locker Master and tried to add the widget to the Xperia Lock screen, but it didn't show up in the list of widgets that could be added.
So, how do I add a simple music control to the lock screen? I remember being able to have this on my HTC Legend which was running GingerBread. Things should have gotten simpler with progress, but I seem to be struggling to do seemingly simple stuff with this version of Android (4.4.4).
Thanks in advance.

If all you want is the widget when music is actually playing, then just use the default Sony lockscreen - the widget appears automatically when playing media from Sony apps and others. Swipe right to get back to the clock. Swipe down to see a larger version (with lockscreen widgets enabled). Long press to see scrub control. That's about it.
