I like how with the Touchwiz lock screen you can slide the button to open a new text message, but it seems kind of limited. What if instead of just sliding down for a text and up for unlock, you could also slide right for a new GMail message and left to toggle sound on and off like the vanilla lock screen? Is anyone else interested in something like this?
I am but I would want it to look more like the vanilla lock screen then touchwiz

If you're looking to make one, I'd absolutely give it a try. I currently use widget locker but I'm guessing something that's more native (aka not an app) would work much better.
Yea it would

I actually like this ideal. But I'd like if you could make the text notification on the lock screen word with Handcent because I don't use the stock messaging app

i wholly agreed
I've been thinking about this for a while. It would be great if it could be done. Vanilla lock screen would be great, but touchwiz would be acceptable as well. Props to anyone who figures it out!

Had this phone for Two days now and LOVE it. Way better then evo 3d I had. Only issue I have is I struggle to unlock it every time. Maybe the size maybe the touchwiz screen. Either way it makes me crazy. Anyone make a suggestion of a different lock screen that is stable and won't mess up the excellent battery life.
Btw I have no interest in rooting but don't mind buying an app if needed. Also I have no issue with other parts of touchwiz just the lock screen.
I use widget locker. You can set that up any way you'd like. I have the stock aosp lock screen. Does wonders.

Widget locker allows you to customize the lockscreen with a ot of different options. So the AOSP lockscreen is when you slide the icon across to unlock you phone. It is Androids stock lock screen that ships with Android if Samsung or HTC wouldn't add their own.
Agile lock is pretty good too. It gives you a lockscreen similar to sense 3.0

I replaced my stock lock screen with widget locker and haven't experienced any problems (including battery life). It could be that people using widget locker are placing battery intensive widgets on their lockscreen.
Yeah I haven't had any problems with battery life or any slow downs either. This phone handles the battery and speed well. You can set it up however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can even download themes. I just like it so much because I don't have to use the original lock screen for our phone.

Thanks again! I downloaded and have been playing with widget locker and love it so far. Only question I have is ... Is there some way to get rid of the icon in the notification bar that shows widget locker ongoing. I keep thinking there is something I have not checked and it kinda bothers me. Tried to find a setting to get rid if it but no luck. Thanks again

Hey,
I hate the default lockscreen.
Does anyone know of a lockscreen theme that would work with Juggernaut ROM?
widget locker is a great app I've used it for quite some time now....
yes, me too
holy moly! awesome app!
Is it possible to get the Samsung SMS notification in the lockscreen to stay active with this app?
Also using WL and it's great. However, sometimes I see flashes of Samsung's default lock screen before WL loads - which annoys the hell out of me. Anyone know of a way to get rid of it? I can't stand their lock screen and quite honestly, Samsung should be embarrassed by it. It's total crap!
Thanks, in advance.
Try magic lock. U can switch between different lock screens like sense or iPhone or the galaxy puzzle lock screen,etc

I'm currently running AOKP's JB ROM and I'm trying to make a list of the things that are TouchWiz exclusive that I wish would be part of any original ROM. And so I turn to you good people so get a feel for what I might be missing.
Here's what I have:
The ability to slide left or right over a contact to call or send a text. Love that
I really like the messenging app. Clean and simple. Very fast and responsive.
What else am I missing?

Reasons why I wont leave Touchwiz
Contact Swipe Motion
Lockscreen
App Drawer
Task Manager
Phone/Contacts/Messaging App
Settings App and the over all Launcher Customization allowed on stock!
Picture in Picture w/ Video Player App
Swipe to Screen Capture Motion
Palm to Mute Motion
Music Player App w/ Music Square is awesome!
Calendar App
Plus tons of other things I'm forgetting to mention!
Currently on Blazer Rom 1.7 LG8 for Samsung Galaxy S III

I know I know it's something everyone has been asking...At least I think so....Been searching around the web and thought I would come to you guys as my first post and question! I know there are some apps that can provide notifications in the lockscreen so you don't have to type in your password or pin to see what they recently said, now my question...is there a rootable app, something that can change the current lockscreen on the SGS3 to have these notifications? none of them seemed to work or are really buggy and not supported anymore, I know Iphone has this, infact I think this is the only reason to get an Iphone, just for the notifications in the lockscreen! If there are any legit ones that work and people still know about them please don't hesitate to answer and thanks for reading!

Widget locker from the market will allow you to see widgets on the lock screen. So you will also need to choose a SMS widget, plenty out there

I tried the widget locker thing and it quite badly sucked....wouldn't have any haptic feedback even though it was clicked on, and when I pressed home button after I turned on the screen it would completely bypass my password which is stupid...

Alternatives to Handscent: Go SMS (my personal fav -- can be put into a "lightweight" mode), Pansi SMS (simply awesome, lightweight, love it).
I got a $10 credit in the mail and feel like it would best be used to replace the stock TouchWiz lockscreen. I've been using go locker for a little but it isnt very customizable nor can you use widgets.
I'd like something that is customizable, has weather and doesn't lag or slow down the phone.
Thoughts?
Widget locker is what I use. It's made by the cats that make nova launcher (I personally use their entire suite), and as the title suggests you can most certainly use widgets.

I have widget locker as well. But I don't use it much. I don't care for it really. Using the widgets is cool, but it always seems to lag or show my stock lock screen behind it for a split second
I also hate. . hate. ..hate the fact that If you unlock to a short cut, you go back to the lockscreen after. Example, I unlock direct to camera to take a picture, or to messaging to send a text. I close the app and then it goes back to my lock screen. I find that so irritating that it won't just take me home, like a stock lock screen will. So I just don't use it anymore. Besides I like the aosp lock screen many ROMs have included now.
