Ok, so here's a little back story. I'm currently running the android 4.2 launcher on the stock Atrix HD android 4.1 update. And I just don't think the stock lockscreen fits with the launcher.
I have tried Holo Locker and Widget Locker and both are very lacking. They leave the software keys on screen and you can still back out of the lock screen by hitting them.
So, basically, I was wondering if there are any better AOSP-like lock screen apps or if there are any mods floating around out there?

There's a setting for Holo Locker that'll make it the default launcher so hitting back or home won't skip it.

.I've been using this app with my HTC One X :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker
And it seems to work OK,
Locks it in landscape but will not switch in auto. Sorry if this a repost but I have kids so no time to search.

How has this app gone completely unnoticed?
Kinda. I bought the 16gig with the case. I'm left handed and the case, as in most cases, is right handed. So I prefer to use it upside down. Only real difference is the camera is on the bottom. I rarely ever used it and when I do I can easily switch it around. Unfortunately I didn't see this FREE app and bought Ultimate Rotation.
It is also possible using some launchers. I believe Apex and or Nova allow it to auto rotate.

I can confirm Apex lets you.
If you long press on auto, it should allow you to rotate it freely.
From my understanding the stock launcher doesn't have rotation at all. I believe a modded stock launcher was created just for this.
Does this rotation all rotate the stock launcher?
I simply use Apex. The stock launcher is what was stuck in portrait mode.

Funny thing when you do tablet ui AFAIK it'll rotate.
Ah just tried the long press and works!
SME widgets are a bit buggered but hey it works, and completely stock and no special launchers.

Thanks for the tip, but what do you mean by auto? I tried long pressing the auto in the pull down notification bar with no luck.
Any suggestions?
This is cool, but it would be much better if it had a better/more useful widget!

Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

I use GO EX, on my SGS3 and Pad 7.7, perfect :good:
We had to wait a long long time for getting an update.....
But at least it was worth the waiting.
Had to fix screen size and some other settings after new update. It was a pain, don't really notice anything new while running on stock ICS

After playing with it a bit I stuck with Apex. I think this is a bigger draw to HC and GB devices.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

Double tap on icons/folders to get the edit/remove options.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

THIS. Been using Go Ex Launcher for several years on many different Android devices & it's been amazing, very customizable & easy to use.
After trying EVERY other launcher including paid ones, none come close to Go EX...
I want to lock my widgets on my home screen, they sometimes are accidentally moved when fast scrolling or going back from app drawer. I want ro lock them so even on hard touch or persistent touch, it wont show the resize or move thing.
PS: i am using tw on stock rom with root.

Hi guys,
After a couple of months searching a new phone, I finally got the razr i and I'm really happy with it. Althought pleased with the stock rom, I would like to change something : The lockscreen.
In fact, I've succeeded to change launcher with Nova and I'm satisfied with it. However, the lockscreen still have old icons which I don't really like, and also, it vibrate also. I would like to remove that vibration , how can I do?
Thx!!!

I agree. Holo locker is much better and you can get rid of the vibrate as well as change the shortcut apps (no idea why they thought it necessary to have a shortcut to the camera on a phone with a dedicated camera button!)
I also use Holo Launcher as I find it slightly smoother than Nova and you can do swipe up and down gestures on the dock bar.
Has anyone had problems with the lock screen widgets. I apply a widget but my phone won't unlock. When I swipe to unlock it just go right back to the lock screen. It just loops over and over. The only way to unlock the phone is to swipe on one of the shortcuts on the bottom of the screen to go to app from the shortcut but not the home screen.

No problems here....which widget did you use? I just used Google Now Cards and its working for me just fine.
Yep, happened to me too with dashclock widget. Will download a new lock screen to try. Probably a stock android one on the play store.

Looks pretty bad yeah, I used the analog clocks instead, still doesn't look good. But the problem is the widgets are not clickable. I read something about them not being scrollable too, which may explain why they're not clickable. I'm looking for a lock screen replacement that allows for widgets but no dice yet. Only that ugly lockscreen widget app.

Yep, that's what I mean. That's the problem I'm getting. They offer like 7 different lock screens yet they don't offer the stock android one. Still looking for a replacement lock screen. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

To add lockscreen widgets, go to settings > personalize > lock screen and change it to widgets
Any widget I used gets stuck in a loop and I can't unlock the phone. I had "battery widget reborn" and when I try to place it even on the home screen it locks the screen and it gets stuck. Maybe it's a bug in "battery widget reborn"?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4
I noticed to get the widgets to work, you have to drag down on the widget (you'll see a blue box being dragged down,) then you should be able to use it.
I ended up getting widget locker. It's actually pretty awesome. Thanks to HTC's 25 bucks haha. 3 bucks ain't so bad either. Now I have a stock lock screen with better widget support.
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I figured out the problem. I had to uninstall "battery reborn" app. It was causing a glitch in the lock screen. My widget now works like it should.
