Hi Guys,
I am NOOB to android and recently i have upgraded myself to Andro-ID ROM after using CM7 for a while . everything is good in this ROM except this Lockscreen which i love those CM7's ones. Anyone please throw some light to me on how to change a lock screen ??? I am unable to find an answer .. All the answer google providing me is to go for Widget Locker .Is there any way other that that ?
Thanks in advance !!!
yyeah..Widget Locker is gud if u want diff types of lock screen.. use dat..
Thanks but i am in a learning mode .. hence trying to understand how and where this locker screens are embedded inside ROM .. Hope we get some answer for that too !
What you want to do depends on exactly what it is you want to do (sounds paradoxical but hear me out).
CM7 lockscreen is the stock android lockscreen but with 2 additions, first they added the ability to see battery state always (not only when charging), the other is that they added music controls.
So if you want those features you'll have to code them yourself since they're part of Cyanogen's code.
If you want the look you'll be better using CM7 since the Rings lockscreen wasn't implemented until GB 2.3.7 and porting that would require that you build andro-id from sources.
Anyways if you want to try it, the lockscreen is contained inside /system/framework/android.policy.jar
thanks a lot .. will try and let u know guys if i am able to find anything!!!
use agile lock instead

hhhmm....
i'm newbie and want to try a widget locker
where i can get it?
Agile lock, ripple lock, widget locker, go locker (you can find this one in the go dev Web site)...
My opinion: don't use widget locker, you have to pay it and have root for some simple sliders, try and consider the others I suggest you...
For the first two: try the free version then, if you don't want to pay them, you can unlock for free just installing and running once the apps they suggest you.
Hope I've helped you man ;-)

thanks mate.. will try that soon and will update my xperience
if u want to mod the lockscreen, pull framework-res.apk from your system , in deodexed rom you can change lockscreen style (editting xml and image) without any additional apk needed.

Is it possible to change the dock shortcuts?
If so, how?
(i dont want ADW eller launcher pro (paid for both)
Have you tried Go Launcher EX? Completely free, stable and quick. Have it on mine and works a treat. Can then change what apps launch. So I have Opera as my browser, Go Dialer as my phone.
Thx bro, but maby I was not clear enough..
*i DO NOT want any other launcher than the stock one*
(at least until someone can tell me its not possible to change the dock shortcuts )
But thanks anyway, i know and have tried a lot of the homelaunchers, but it just like the stock one, i like the appdrawer where things are sortet in 2 groups, included apps, and downloaded apps.. also arranged alphabeticaly.. makes it much easier to find stuff
its not possible, maybe with some hard coding?
Oh well... ADW it is then

I know what you mean the appdrawer was one of the things I liked about the stock launcher as well.
Go Launcher has the ability to group programs into folders, which makes it easier for me. Doesn't look as nice as stock but works just as well.
Not sure if the other launchers also do this
I'm sure it's possible to change by editing LGLauncher.apk.
I don't have the knowledge or time to look into it though..
I couldn't stop myself having a quick look into the apk.
DockingMenu.smali has a lot of references to some dragging and dropping, did anyone even try draggin new applications onto the dock?
In stock launcher just go into the app list, select edit and drag into the dock whatever app you need.

The launcher is your home screen and application drawer..
And how do i go to app list only thing i see in.option is manage apps and there u just see list of app and running apps. There is no dock thing there

hi, i'd like to know a way to change lockscreen
i've tried market software, as go locker and magic locker,
the first one, sometimes makes original lockscreen to appear
the second one, makes wake on a little slower
i know the best would be widget locker, but why spend 2 euros, when there isn't a 100% guarantee default locker won't appear? (in some comments on market, people say sometimes it appears)
using one of those software with a software like "no lock" or those who disable default screen, would be a good idea? there could be conflicts?
isn't there a way to eradicate lockers from framework, so problem is resolved, and those software can be used without problems?
(for what i have understood they add the lock effect to the launcher, so without a lockscreen would appear launcher directly)
i was also searching for a guide to make a customized default locker... but it seems an hard argument to find something on... couldn't find any guide on this particular problem...
i'm not just talking about wallpaper, those can be changed easily, talking about adding links to apps (dont think it would be difficult to copy the slider for unlocking, and make it an apk link or similar)
probably my searches are wrong, but i always found tutorials on how using market software like widget locker etc...
we can change anything in android, is lockscreen that hard to customize????????
thanks for replys
If you are rooted and using a CM7 based rom you can disable the default lockscreen completely so you won't have that problem widgerlocker is the best thing to use for what you are wanting. Go locker is what I use but they are still working on it and don't have custom app links

How, exactly? Would it apply to MIUI, too, which I understand is CM based?
Would this give me the option to unlock the screen only with a pattern, rather than with the MIUI unlocker first and then with a pattern?
Thanks
In CM7 you can go into CM settings--> tablet tweaks and check disable lockscreen ... I couldn't tell you about MIUI because it isn't available on my phone As far as disabling the lockscreen and still using a pattern to unlock I don't know what would happen because I don't use the pattern unlock .

Hi guys! there is a mode to replace lockscreens in Emanon's Rom? I wanna put in CM Ring or ICS ring without orizontal unlock !! Sorry, i'm italian
Try WidgetLocker from Market and you can also customized it...

Go for go locker or milocker

I've tried Go Locker as well and it works without lag.
Thanks guys let's try Milocker!!

Hi!
Is there a way i can change the standard stock lockscreen without installing an app?
Maybe with a theme...I don't know!
I'm on Django 0.7 with TWLauncher.
Thanks
without external app you have two choices
1. lg stock lock screen (swipe up to unlock)
2. aosp lockscreen (swipe left to right) has bug if u press the menu button it will unlock as well
to switch between them edit build.prop file and change the line user.feature.lock_andy=false will give u option 2 ; =true will go back to default.
the file is located under /system

i would say WidgetLocker is the best but not free.
also have a look at this website there are 11 ways to change the lockscreen
ripplelock is also quite good.

I think I'll go for widgetLocker!
Does it make a lot of ram-consumption?

While I like widgetlocker (and purchased it) I ended up not using it because it takes anywhere between 20-50MB RAM (depending on how many widgets you want to use) from an already small amount of RAM we have.
Without installing an app, you have a third lockscreen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314666

That's what i have on right now!
What about "Go Locker"? I was thinking of moving to "Go Launcher" so............is "Go Locker" less heavy on ram than "WidgetLocker"?
I use GoLauncher and GoLocker... very stable and smoother... today I play to personalise lockscreen and theme for home and app drawer in ICS Style... prrfect... I spend 1.5€ for to small apps to change this with GoLauncher... 3D efect are more and very smooth... and you can alway decided to revert to default launcher.

Is there anyway to change the camera shortcut in the ics lockscreen for the sound toggle shortcut? I've seen it in roms for other devices but i dont know how they do it :/ I dont want to use any apps like widgetlocker or golocker
i hope you can help me or tell me where to look in the roms that i mentioned before
i'm using IScreamDX.
Thanks
It should be in
Cyanogenmod settings->lockscreen->style options->click on custom app starter.
Choose the app u want to show up.
Press THANKS if I tried to help...
i apologize for my english, i do my best xD but the thing i want in the lockscreen is the shortcut that switch between ring/sound mode(vibrate/ring/silent). And in Ice Cream Sandwich(4.0.4) you change the shortcuts from Settings->Interface->System (at least thats what i do). It's not an app(it can be done with apps like widget locker or golocker).
If someone can tell me where to look, or point me in the right direction XD
There is no cyanogenmod settings option in ics rom
