I'm just curious. i've recently update my note to the latest ICS via Samsung Kies expecting a nice ICS style lockscreen similar to that of the nexus. is there anyway to get that.? mine's currently still set as my old lockscreen wallpaper with no new additions.
What i'm looking out for:
The app icons on the lockscreen; by unlocking from any of the icons will boot my camera/messages/unlock to home/some other app icon?
You're looking for AOSP lockscreen. There are apps in the market for that - or you can always get an AOSP based rom like CM9
Try go locker from market + go locker ics theme
Any of those available that lets me use my own custom wallpaper?

I know there is a new AOSP Rom for Fascinate, and I really like how the round eclair lock screen looks compared to the Froyo lock screen. How would I go installing just the eclair lock screen from the AOSP Rom, or through some other way if necessary.
There is screen locker, and you could pull the file out of the zip and push it to your phone and restart.
I just ended up using widget locker to enable the standard Android slider lockscreen...works perfectly

Thanks, I started using widget locker but ended up switched to the Droid X... my ROM (Gummy Jar 2.5) has the rotary lock as an option Widget Locker's nice for customization options.
been looking for ages how i can Customize my lockscreen
WITHOUT using Widgetlocker
i mean like adding widgets and making custom sliders
is there anyway to do so without WL or any other application ?
want to lose the need for a replacement and try to make deafult lockscreen usable
i love this app but sadly its problematic with many other apps so looking for an alternative
with the default lockscreen you can only set the wallpaper, if you choose a custom rom, you have 5 or 9 (depends on the rom) to choose and one of those its fully customizable
Simple Lockscreen, you can customize it
hey guys thnx for the answers but the thing is even with those 9 lockscreens
there is stuff missing like adding widget and stuff
its a big shame that the default lockscreen on android can not be customized.
another let down
First, I replaced the launcher. Apex Launcher is based on the stock ICS Launcher and looks great, but getting it to work with the weather and clock widgets seems to be crappy. These widgets know how to change layout based on size, and it seems like Apex is failing to notify them of the size change. Anyone know how to get those widgets to use a layout other than the long, thin stripe when using Apex?
Second, I'm wondering if I should replace the camera / gallery apps. Is there a significant advantage to the standard ICS apps? I'm hoping there's some reason Samsung gave us the old Gallery app, but anyone know what it is? Is the stock ICS gallery available to install?
I think if u just wait for a while. Some one will release a "Custom" Rom with re-design. Even though it will be stock with a layer on top of it, it will be all u need.

I'm not really interested in a custom ROM. Trying to stick with the stock roms as much as I can. That doesn't mean I won't install some better apps.
use Quickpic for gallery; significantly better than stock gallery, regardless of OS version!
As for weather widget, here's something to try:
Go to Apex Settings, Advanced settings, then uncheck "resize any widget"
see if the switch to conventional ICS resizing will change the Accuweather widget behaviour...
No guarantee but give it a go!

Yep should have added "watch this thread" to follow for ICS note version when done as ICS only out this week and no one will have it themed yet.
Personally I had a S2 and tried most themes and allways went back to stock plus a ICS look launcher, follow the S2 themes and you will see all themes don't get things right 100% grey txt on black background and then there was CM 9 etc with custom apps themed and you loose some of the original functionality.
Or follow checkrom.com for a ICS vers coming shortly???
I just got on the Knoxraid V2 ROM two days ago. I was coming off a simple JB with root. I found a Theme that I really like in Go Launcher (called Oceanus), but there are some things I would miss from the ROM Touchwiz.
Is it possible to incorporate the Knoxraid home screen weather clock widget into the Go Launcher? I feel like this would be the easiest fix. The only other way would be to use the Icons from Go Launcher and download the App Drawer app for customization (if it would even work).
Also, will a different bootanimation work with this ROM?
I have searched and searched, tried various mods, etc...
I want to change the amount of rows so the weather and clock on the Sense 6 lockscreen do not overlap. I am running the latest ViperOne and have enabled 5 rows rows on the homescreens and appdrawer. I have tried various different mods and sense 6 weatherclock themes (via xposed and otherwise) without any success. Does anyone know of a mod or fix I can use other than going back to 4 rows on my homescreens?
I cannot post external links of the screenshots I have because of my low post count. Sorry. Basically, the weather icon on the lockscreen will overlap with the clock (and it is smaller than what is shown on blinkfeed), but it does not overlap on the blinkfeed homescreen.
Thanks!
Nevermind. I finally found a fix. I used a non stock HTC weather mod via venom hub and it fixed the issue. Now to try some other themes that will work in 5 row mode.
Must be a bug in a theme or Venom
I don't want to re-install Venom to see if it is a bug in Venom or an addon I applied awhile ago. I am unable to change the weather or clock theme via venom tweaks. It seems to be related to using anything Sense 6 stock for the clock or weather. I just flashed a new full theme and the bug is back. Still investigating. It would be nice to have a mod for the lockscreen to sue the default sense 6 wetherclock with 5 rows on the lockscreen. I have yet to find a mod for just this. Can anyone point me to a howto or manpage on how to create this kind of mod? I am a bit new to android development, but I have made a few apps. I am not new to Linux kernel development (former ALSA contributor).
Thanks!
The bug is in the AOSP lockscreen.
Frustrating.... I want to hide the dock on the lockscreen. There is no setting for this, but enabling the ASOP lockscreen enables hiding the dock on blinkfeed hides the dock on the AOSP lockscreen as well. When using the Sense 6 lockscreen, there seems to be no way to hide the dock. I like the AOSP lockscreen unlock widget. Unfortunatley, Venom seems to have a bug in their Venom lockscreen tweaks where CM-style pattern dots only works with AOSP. Venom AOSP mode has the 4 row lock bug for the weather and clock. Perhaps the next version of Venom will address this.
I think I might ditch Sense 6 and go to 4.4.4 stock Android mod (or an AOSP rom) with a custom kernel and use GO Launcher for now. I used GO launcher on my 1st GEN EVO and I loved it.
