Is there a known simple method to alter the useless lock screen on the captivate.it's not exactly pocket proof. Also I saw a lock screen somewhere that had several sliders that could launch the phone, mms, ect....
if I could skip the home screen when making a call/text that'd be awesome.

Checkout WidgetLocker, works great.
or if you would like a free alternative but not as yet polished as it is new try Simply Lockscreen
the one your looking for that goes to phone, sms, email, and home is called GOTO... i had it on for a little bit... but ultimately kept the original lock screen
There's a widget named No Lock that lets you bypass the lock screen altogether. It's on the market and it works fine on my stock Captivate.
One tiny issue is that you have to hold the on/off button a little longer than normal to wake up the phone.
Thanks guys. Widget locker it is for me!

this thing is the bomb! never looked back on my stock lockscreen
+1 for No Lock. Great as the Captivate has only capacitive buttons and volume buttons dont seem to activate the screen!
The problem I'm having with most of these alternate lock screens is that quite often the Samsung one still comes up and then I have to unlock twice. If that doesn't happen then sometimes two of the new lockscreen will come up.
I've tried changing around settings but every one I try has these similar issues. Is there no way to just disable the TouchWiz lockscreen?
I remember, way back in the day, when my phone was stock and I thought it was so cool that my music controls would appear when I hit the power button to unlock the screen. Then I thought it was even cooler that I could control Pandora (I forget if it was through lockscreen or through notification bar) the same way.
Now I'm rocking Continuum 5.5 and was wondering if there is something I can do to enable non-stock music players to be controlled through the lockscreen or notification bar without having to add any widgets to my homescreen or without having to download any extra apps. I even hate having to drag the little CD icon down on the lockscreen when I'm using the stock music player. Basically I'm really lazy and would like to control both Pandora and my new Google Music app through the notification bar and hopefully even the lockscreen and I'm very picky about having widgets and such.
tl;dr: can I control non-stock music apps through lockscreen and/or notification bar without having to download any apps or add any widgets?
I would live that too, my stock music player controls dissapeared when I unlock the screen now
Check out Power Amp in the market. Does what your asking and more
Now if it only was a light sabor too....
I know Symply and Subpression did this for all lock screens. Samsung based lock screens work with Samsung player, other lock screens work with any other player, don't know for sure Pandora, but I thought they did. I ran symply for a while, buts its not as stable as continuum.

Well... the whole point is that I don't want to download any extra apps other than the ones I use, i.e. Pandora and Google Music. Besides, I've used PowerAMP in the past, when it was still free and I thought it sucked. Way too bloated with crap I don't need and a terrible UI.

I've tried all the lockscreens that come with Continuum 5.5 with Pandora, Google Music, and Winamp, and none of them had controls on the lockscreen. I'm also wanting controls in the notification bar again, I miss that too.
I see that in the description for the "Obsession" ROM it says that a few of its lockscreens will work with ANY non-Samsung music player. Can someone running that ROM confirm whether it'll give me lockscreen controls for Pandora and/or Google Music? Thanks.
Did we find a solution to this???
Continuum 5.6 has music controls on lock screen. Not sure about pandora though. I'll check it out in a few

Yep works with pandora

So to answer your question, you can upgrade to continuum 5.6 and that will give you like four different lock screens that will have music controls for non-stock music players and pandora on the lock screen. As far as notification controls, they don't seem to be there.

Wow, the music controls only work on the Epic and Glass lockscreens. Lol...

if you are referring to stock music player and continuum 5.6 then yes. But on 5.6 there is 9 lock screens., and several have music controls that work with any non-stock music player. Goto settings/lockscreen menu/lockscreen

How do you get the miui lock screen to work on continuum 5.6 to look like the screen shots? Mine just has the lock slider on the left and the volume slider on the right. No music controls, and doesn't have the buttons like all the miui screen shots have.

Try posting in the rom's Q&A thread
Just added smart notifications to Media Utilities which basically adds notification controls to applications that have not added them yet like Pandora. Will automatically hide notifications if you switch the anther media app.

Hey All,
I have an issue with using Widget Lockscreen and the HTC One (or could be my launcher?)
I had GO Locker and was able to disable home key press on the lock screen so it didnt unlock the phone. I enabled the home screen options in widget lockscreen, but currently, the phone is trying to draw the home screen then quickly snaps back to the lock screen again, which is rather annoying.
I am using Holo Launcher HD and I tried on Apex as well, same thing.
Anyone else experiencing this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks
Hey all, I'm on the latest update there is for my C6903 and I have just noticed the music player controls no longer show on the lock screen when music is playing. It's not the end of the world as my headphones have music controls on them but it seems odd after all this time for them to be gone.
I've tried all the usual methods of adding widgets to the home screen but nothing changes, the clock remains!

Hi,
Do you have SmartKey installed on your phone by any chance? I've noticed that since the last update, the music control widget has disappeared from the lock screen which is quite annoying if you're using a headset with no remote control as I do. The only solution I've come upon until now is uninstalling this app. It used to be that if you disabled the 'music mode' on the app, the music control widget would reappear but that doesn't work anymore.

Excellent!! Thankyou for the answer, I seem to remember a similar problem on my old Z.

No problem. This thing drove me crazy once. By the way, I used my Xperia Z1 today and although I have SmartKey installed, the music widget is back on the lock screen. There has been no update since the last time I've used the phone and I haven't changed any of the settings. Quite weird...
Im sick of seeing Boomsounds on my Lockscreen everytime I'm playing music. Even turning off Beats Audio doesn't remove it.
