Hello,
I have searched at various sites (including this one) and have not found a lockscreen mod for the lg g2. I did find a flashable zip for the Nexus 5 but that's about it.
I just rooted and one of my reasons for rooting was to change the lockscreen. I'm not happy with the locker apps on the play store and the lockscreen tweaks you can do through Xposed aren't substantial enough.
Don't know why LG implemented their own instead of using the standard kk locker that other devices use. I love this phone but the lockscreen is an eyesore imo.
I was just hoping to find a flashable zip and decided to reach out. If not, I'll just continue to use the locker apps I already have installed.

The ability to change the lockscreen was broken with the KK update. The only way I know of getting an AOSP lockscreen is to run an AOSP rom.

Hey guys,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S yesterday and loving the transition from iPhone to Android.
After talking to some android experts on a IRC, i have been able to install Android Froyo 2.2. The latest version. I have installed Odin and Voodoo Lag Fix. I have used quadrant and compared results before installing odin etc. I am not a root user currently and don't know how to be one on 2.2.
Now I want to install custom themes and icons. But I have no clue what to do. Like no idea.
I want my SGS to eventually look this.

I am really into designing and will want to eventually create my own skins so I am taking baby steps, and want to first learn how to install other peoples themes that they have made etc.
Looking forward to all your answers.
Thanks
Looks to me like they're using launcher pro.
The first one would be the hardest to get because you'll have to change the icons one by one using an app found in the market called desktop visualizer. It allows you to place png files (pictures) as icons and assign a certain task to each one along with renaming them. They're are also using fancy widget for the clock or beautiful widgets. The status bar on top is most likely changed by a rom or theme.
The second one is very easy. All it is is launcher pro with it's dock icons (icons at the bottom) changed out. With wallpaper found in many wallpaper apps. A custom clock most likely found in the market and custom text clock and percentage widgets. Check out clockr if you want a text clock.
The third one again appear to be using launcher pro. Which by the way a home replacement app. Extended control app for the toggles. digital clock app found int the market. And a custom status bar.
I currently using have a G2 and I'm on cyanogenmod rom which allows altering aka customizing your status bar.
i don't proof read my post so forgive or my spelling and grammar.
You best bet to finding out the exact apps are going to the vibrant forums and looking for the huge homescreen picture thread and asking for help or asking with widgets they used. I'm sure if you'll find alot more answers there.
Edit: Better yet. Commonly used widgets.

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 .

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???
Hey everyone, i was just wondering if there is something on the hardware side of the One that doesnt allow me to install DashClock. I tried downloading it from the Play Store but it says my device is incompatible? Is it hardware, or is it because i have an international version.

I'm running Android Revolution HD, which is basically HTC's stock 4.2.2, with Sense of course, and I'm having the same issue. I honestly think it's the Sense lockscreen that's the problem. In order to install Dashclock, you have to add it as a widget to one of your lockscreens. The problem is Sense only gives you the main lockscreen, no widgets, scrolling, etc.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm trying to get DashClock running on Sense roms now that we have 4.2.2 available on them. Tried it on an AOSP ROM (Slim Bean) and was very impressed.
Right now, TrickDroid 7.0.0 has android 4.2.2 and comes with an AOSP lockscreen option, but that lockscreen does not support widgets. While you cannot get DashClock from the Play Store, you can install Dashclock via APK and it works (in a reduced capacity) on the home screen.
As for getting DashClock on the lockscreen, right now I'm using WidgetLocker Lockscreen (paid app), but it's running in a reduced capacity there too. Looking into changing the lock screen to one that fully works, don't know how deep this rabbit hole goes, but I am a developer (not for Android, though .. yet) so I'll see what I can come up with.
If you want to play with it too, here is the APK.
I heard that if you rename htclockscreen.apk to something else, and you use apex or nova launcher, you will have stock android lockscreen, with all widgets you want

In TrickDroid 7.0.0 at least, you get the stock android lockscreen, but without any widget functionality. I'm thinking this could be related to settings in android.policy.jar

Yes i've installed the same Rom and have been trying to look for a solution to the problem :S
I'm on OrDroid 7.3.2 - 4.2.2 and I can use DashClock widget without problem with all extensions as you can see with this screenshot.
Classic install => download from Google Play and installed correctly
I don't use some other launcher, just stock launcher
I use DashClock on my N7 3G too
Go Settings > Personalize > Lockscreen > (scroll to end) Widgets (Settings -> Choose DashClock) > Apply.

I've been trying to get the DashClock to work on my phone, but I can't find the Widget in the lockscreen options. I am using SentinelROM and running 4.2.2
Got it working on the htc one ... but now have two clocks on the lockscreen .... any ideas on how to get rid of one ?
Same Issue
I'm running Android Revolution 12.2 on HTC One and I'm also getting the two clocks issue. I used Personalize->Lockscreen->Widgets->Dashclock to set it up, but cannot remove the original lock screen clock. I switched the dashclock time for a small analog clock and it looks better but that huge clock at the bottom takes up too much space. Any ideas?
I'll just leave this here.

I will be loading up Stock KK and I hate LG's stock lockscreen. I have gotten use to the AOSP lockscreen and really like it, especially the way KK shows album art over the entire screen during playback. I was wondering if there is a Lockscreen app out there that does this? I use to use Widgetlocker, but haven't touched it in a good while. Anyone know of any good apps to take a look at? Thanks

In 4.4 lg changed something that broke the aosp lock screen on stock. No one had found a way around it yet.

Check out widget locker. You should be able to make it look like aosp.

Loving dynamic notifications so far. Lockscreen notifications and replacement lock screen. Need to be rooted with xposed framework.
acdisplay puts art over the entire screen. It's a lot like dashclock, but with some added nifty features. very minimal too.

I second acdisplay. It's works like a charm (it mimics Moto's active display) and still allows for that ugly stock pin lock so we have that extra layer of security when unlocking.
