is this possible for the Epic4g?

This was part of a theme in the g2/desirez thread.
Is there anything like this for the Epic4g.

+1 on this
The dual locks would be awesome.
Pretty sure I would **** bricks if we had a lockscreen like that. I use sms popup, but this would be awesome.

once the source is released for our phone we'll get a CM rom. then we'll have this.
I had it on my hero, it was pretty slick.
Widget Locker does this.

If we're talking about the lockscreen then, like alfiej said, widget locker can fill it up with sliders and widgets. I do have a question about that link tho. Does the gingerbread lockscreen actually have multiple sliders and/or can it be customized like that on stock? Or is the multiple sliders a change made in CM6.1?

I really don't like running apps in my background (especially lockscreens).
1. They dont work all the time.
2. They take up too much memory.
I used widget locker and my phone died much faster than without it. I had my phone unplugged yesterday for 15 hours before it got down to 80%. With it, it was down at like 60%. Sorry dude.
No need to apologize dude, I just was naming what does this. I bought widget locker a few weeks ago and got a refund within an hour so I feel your pain.

What's dope about this one is above the sliders you can draw gestures and it will automatically launch those apps
I actually really like our stock lock screen because it basically has these same features. I'd probably go for this one if it was available to us because I like the vanilla layout better.

I know, its like you pay for **** that doesn't work. I would rather fix it up on the inside, not cover it up with bs. But that's just me.

[Q] Fully Transparent Lockscreen?

I am (have been) looking for a completely clear lockscreen. I want the widgets to update in the background, instead of just showing the wallpaper.. Any ideas?

There's already apps that basically do what you're looking for i.e. widgetlocker as seen here: http://androinica.com/2010/07/16/wa...ckscreen-get-widget-locker-video-app-reviews/
Yeah, I used widget locker, not too big of a fan.. or clear lock from the market. Is there a way to remove the wallpaper that is on there and put a transparent one in its place? I've looked everywhere but no luck lol.

Trouble with unlock screen

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

What do you want a wallpaper? Go to settings > display> lock screen wallpaper.
Yes, have done that. The wall paper is 100% transparent when I set it.

[Q] Unlock Shortcuts on Lock Screen Slider?

somewhere in between unlocking/rooting and reflashing to stock, i lost the option to put shortcuts on the lock screen slider. im pretty sure that there was a lock screen \ shortcuts option somewhere, but cant seem to find it now. i tried clearing and reflashing again and that didnt do anything for me.
if anybody can help out with that id appreciate it.
On CM, it's under settings -> Lock screen -> Slider shortcuts. Dunno if this is elsewhere for the various other ROMs.
If your running stock I believe that they took that out. But they added lock screen widgets

thanks guys
