i think this goes in the Q&A section. but to answer i dont think there is right now, unless you use a 3rd party app. but do people still use those anymore?

I would like a custom lock screen as well.

About as custom as ive seen is adding lockscreen shortcuts in liquidsmooth rom. I would like to be able to change the clocks color

This is something that I feel should be standard in Android, I mean at least the ability to change the wallpaper. We shouldn't have to use a 3rd app to do the basic function. I know most custom Roms enable you to do this but android is about customization.

Install different lockscreens?

Hey Guys,
Looking for some new lockscreens. Would really like the froyo 2.2 lockscreen from the droid x or D2. I like the looks of those slider bars.
Does anyone know if this is available or ones like it?
I dont know if its possible to replace the actual system lockscreens ... I know that WidgetLocker has those Motorola Froyo Lockscreen Setups, but well, its a external solution, the internal Lockscreen will not be replaced at all ...
one is called Lockbot

Awesome this is exactly what I was looking for. It works great, thanks for the tip, loving my new lockscreen now.
batmania15: since the latest lockscreen gestures update (in CM 0.04-10.11.29) I'm not using the unlock bars at all. You should check it out...

I tried the lockscreen gestures but didnt like them. I had one set for S and one set for B and everytime I drew the B it launched the one for S.
The default sensitivity was set too low, you could simply fix it for you by setting it to 3 or higher.
In 0.04-10.11.29, the default is now 3.

i think widget locker is a perfect choice
i m using it since i got the phone
While Widget Locker is a nice feature to have I think the Milestone just can't handle it. 256mb and if you throw a few widgets on it or a few widgets in your Launcher Pro/ADw, your home screen will redraw 24/7. I noticed like a 2x redraw rate with WidgetLocker. It's nice, but our phones can't handle it.
Need 512mb ram damnit.
sorry to hi-jack, but aren't you the Batmania15 from the MOTO Milestone support forums?
Any word on official FroYo?
i have another sort of question about lockscreen.
is there a way to have a picture on lockscreen different to the background picture?
You can set an alternative wallpaper i widget locker for the lock screen

Nadlabak,
The gesture lockscreen is great! Thanks for this.
Is it possible to use your gestures lock instead of standard Android visible pattern functionality? I mean to secure lock screen via gesture only. I ask because if you turn it on, then you can use gesture OR standard swipe unlock (so it's not securing the phone).
Thanks in advance for any sugestions!
Yes, you can turn off standard unlock slider option in the cyanogen settings.

[Q] Custom gestures for Sense 5?

Does anyone happen to know of an app that would allow me to continue to use the Sense 5 Launcher and have a "swipe down" gesture command that pulls down the Notification Bar? I really want to try and use Sense 5 to at least give it a shot but I also want to be able to swipe down on the home screen to pull down the Notification Bar. (I'm so used to having this ability from other custom Launcher apps that I really don't want to give up that feature). If there's a way to tweak Sense 5 or an app I can install to just enable this one gesture command, I'd be happy. :cyclops:
Thanks to anyone who has any helpful suggestions, it is much appreciated! :fingers-crossed:
Did you solve ur problem?? I also want this app

No, I'm afraid I couldn't find anything that allowed me to do this. I caved in and put Apex Launcher on my One after realizing I also really needed to be able to use custom icons on my phone. (The default Sense 5 icon for the Phone app is awful (IMHO) and really looked bad with the other icons I have in my Dock).
You could try giving this a go...

Awesome! Thanks buddy!
If you're interested in gesture controls you may want to take a look at gmd gesture control. The app is quite amazing in what you can control by gestures anytime (not just on home).

You can have custom icons if your Rom uses xposed installer, with unicon

Replace lock screen short cut icons?

Hi guys,
Is there a way to replace the icons used for short cuts on the sense 5 lock screen? Im using nova launcher with a custom icon pack and would LOVE the icons on the lock screen to match.
I would use a custom lock screen, but all the ones I've come across don't allow you to place a lock screen widget like NILS on the lock screen.
Thanks,
J

If you're rooted you can just swap out the icons in the apk's to the ones you want ... Make sure you open the apk with something like 7zip and drag in your new icons, that way you won't have to decompile the apk.
Is it possible without root?
I've seem some lock screen apps, but don't know how good they are.
There is an app in the play store that allows you to change your icons without rooting but I can't remember the name ... I've never used it so I couldn't vouch for it changing them on the lockscreen but I don't see why it wouldn't.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=en ... There's that app but I have no idea whether it would show icon changes on the lockscreen awsell, sorry.
This worked perfectly. I had to change the icons and then set them before activating nova launcher.

Glad the app worked for you guys

4x4 lockscreen pattern

Hi,
I was just wondering if it is possible , using any method/mod other than custom rom or a third party lockscreen app, to achieve a 4x4 grid or or dots for the lockscreen pattern. I have it on my custom rommed s3 but Sense is too beautiful and smooth, the reason I don't want to custom Rom my One. So anyone know if it is possible to get a 4x4 (or more) lockscreen pattern? Thanks in advance!

Probably Venom's ViperOne Rom can have such a modification.
But also there is an app:
Pattern Lock Pro
Features:
- Displays your name, phone number and email address on the lock screen so that your phone can be returned to you.
- Option to increase security with a 4x4 pattern lock.
I was thinking more of a file system edit, I don't want an app as it doesn't really do the job I want it to do.

[Q] lockscreen tweak

May I know if there are any lockscreen tweaks for kitkat? Like allowing custom apps to be widgets in the lockscreen. Btw, I can't drink the camera shortcut in the lockscreen anymore, is it supposed to be like that or is there a problem?
I'm on ihackers 4.1
Thanks.

I don't think that it answers your question, but have your tried any of the lockscreen replacement apps ? Like Cover for instance:

The camera icon appears when you place the phone in horizontal position.
Can't find it. Even in horizontal mode
