Hey guys, for those of you who have Go Launcher, the team just release a Go Lock Screen app which is really really nice. It's quite difficult to search on the market so to find it do the following:
Press Menu > Go Store > Go Locker (one of the four picture box on top) > Go Locker > Install
All the lock screens are really nice; I'm currently using the FourKey theme.

Holy crap! this thing rocks. Think I found my widget locker replacement..... for now.
I can't find the app. I'm using ADW. I'll wait until it pops up. It looks nice though.
Widget locker just got updated too for ICS, and its pretty slick...

You have to have Go Launcher.
Oh man. I already set ADW the way I want it. So in order to use the lock screen I have to use Go Launcher too right? Is there any way around that?

Not that I know of. Widget Locker just updated their app today as mentioned above, it's pretty nice with their new themes too.
EDIT:
There's no way to change the lockscreen wallpaper?
I can't download Widget Locker. It just stays at loading via the Market. This sucks.

It's nice but the widgetlocker update is damn good as well. Using the ICS lock from it now and it's very responsive

I use a lot of Go's stuff. This looks like a good start, but widget locker is just better.

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

GO Locker is a good alternative "very New" so not much themes out yet. But more perky than widget locker.

Wave Launcher
WidgetLocker
LPP FB Widget
Minimal Reader Pro
MIUI Evolution Reload Clock
Minimalistic Text
Desktop Visualizer
just a quick reminder here guys before it goes out of hand
no warez in XDA
only legit links to legit market places, like Android Market, Amazon Market, Getjar, and... errh... forgot the name of that other one that looks really dodgy but is legit

yea i use it too very good stuff
I also prefer Swipepad over wave launcher. I really wanted to like wave launcher, but it kept getting in the way of other actions, like the dockbar shortcuts and sliding the notification bar back up.
Is there a way to change from where it launches, like you can with Swipepad? I couldn't find the option.

I use a replacement lock screen app called widget locker. As someone who hates the stock lock screen I can't recommend it highly enough.

I worked around it using the ICS theme. That cleaned it up. Very nice theme by the way. That black font over the white date was pretty ugly.

Actually I own W.L. but removed it a while back. Some of these apps make a simple thing into a complex operation. It just had too many options to keep track of.
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.

You too got a $10 gift card from the Samsung sweepstakes?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
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.
