[Q] How to show lockscreen before PIN? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I'm trying out Touchwiz again after using AOKP for a while and I'm liking it, the only issue is how can I show the lockscreen before entering my PIN? I want my phone to be secure but I hate not having a seeing the actual lockscreen. Anyway around this? Also, does anyone know how to make the status bar clock font any smaller? It takes up way too much space.

nothing you can really do about it as far as the clock goes, maybe if you install a smaller font in the display section.
As far as lockscreen before pin, TouchWiz does not have that option, that was only on AOKP and CM9 roms.

If you don't mind a third-party solution, I just checked GoLocker, and it shows the swipeable lockscreen before you have to enter your PIN.
And I agree with abesgs2; your best bet is a new font for the statusbar time.
Maybe you could find a way not to display it through a ROM hack and instead install an app that displays the clock there, but I don't know anything about that.

Widgetlocker themes

Hi, can anyone tell me how i am supposed to use a theme for widgetlocker at all please?
I downloaded 3 files and chose the option of install and add, but there is only my phone lock showing, no icons to choose from and no wallpaper that was supposed to come with it.
I have no idea where the file has saved to or anything, and well being new to all of this android stuff i m a bit confused....
thanks for any help you can give me.
Click the following-
Lots of themes
Google is your Friend.
Hope this helps.
mmm thanks for that buddy.
Just seems odd that i have done the above already but nothing has changed bizarrely.
Only the slider has appeared and i cannot it seems that i can see the custom made icons that were in the package.

Long press on a slider, or press menu then add slider and you can choose theme. It doesn't change the theme as soon as you install.

Sense3 ring widget locker theme
Hello just thought i'd upload a widget locker theme i made and use,
pretty simple to edit,
just put it in sd:data/com.teslacoil.widgetlocker/themes and it shud come up on the app
ive attached screenshots and zip file hopefully they work
and yes im a noob lol
How do you assign the lock homie wsllpaper? I copied the the theme to correct location & naming convention is right but canae see paper? Do you have to save wallpaper to download folder and assign from there or am i losing the plot?

the wallpapers separate you can download this attachment
that was just a screenshot of my lockscreen on my phone
theres an option in widget locker settings under look & feel where you can select a wallpaper tick alternative wallpaper and select whatever you want
Is there any way you can make a theme just like this without the lock icon in the middle? Thanks.
Hi
Quick question RE: Widget locker
I've only ever used this biefly on my old Desire.....this was some time back so my memory is a little hazy
i seem to remember that on occasions that it would either flash up the standard HTC lock screen or require me to unlock one then the other.....or something similar to this
Does this lockscreen work without the above issues (or indeed, any issues) on the S2 ?
is there any lag or any other nasties ??
Cheers

Works fine on mine so far. always showing the widgetlocker except after a fresh reboot. slight lag on the slider at times. my only concern was battery life but it doesn't seem to affect much.

Now have Cyanogen 7.03 with Questions

Want to say love the new look.i have few questions.
01.How do you change color of status bar the wifi,battery icon all to match the theme
02.is there a way to add more drawers at the bottom like launcher pro.they have 3.next to my battery in status bar i switched it to a number but theres also a horizontal line next to it,i want to get rid of it.it wasnt there initially so wonder if i made a change
1&3 you will have to change with something like meta-morph. Unfortunately the way Android is setup this does not theme the same way as everything else.
As far as the dock, try settings-adwsettings, or just use launcherpro if you like that.

You can use zipthemer from the market for this. Just find the images you want to use and use that app to replace then. Are you just wanting to change the color of the circles for pattern lock? If so i have some colors i could upload...

I would prefer a more radical change to the lockscreen but the colours are still good. So yes please. That would be very helpful
What would be a "Radical" change? Layout changes are pretty much out since the only thing you can easily do is change the images themselves, so that leaves either color changes or putting new/random/crazy ones instead.
Basically find/make the images you want, then replace them via zipthemer, or manually inserting them into the apk with 7zip, if you want to start to get your hands dirty.
The main ones are the 9 grid points, the dark circle under your finger, the light green and red circles, and the red/green direction arrows.
I like the setting that removes the dots completely. Jellybro has it, probably most roms do.

Anyone know if its possible to modify the clock position of the lollipop lock screen up to align centered in the smart circles case window?
I actually would like tk change the clock like with 4.0 you had different clocks... The stock on from lollipop is to little
Hi there
I'm searching a method to hide this clock too... But I, actually, don't find anything correct for a D855 running Cloudyg3 2.2, rooted, TWRP Recovery. Is there someone who reach this ??
If I find something, I'll post it here.
Thanks Y'All

[Q] Change Lock Screen App Icons & Dark Notifications?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the Sense Lock screen notifications to a darker material colour? I haven’t been able to find anything and don't really love the light grey.
Also, is there any way to change the Sense lockscreen app icons? I know how to change the apps and their order but I’m looking to change the icons for these apps shown on the lockscreen. Once again I haven’t been able to find anything.
I have looked around for xposed modules to do these two things but haven’t had any luck.
I also realize I could change the lock screen to a 3rd party one but they don’t seem to place nicely with the alarm when it goes off (doesn’t show screen with dismiss or snooze) or they only seem to launch a half ass version of the camera when swiping into it from there.
Any opinions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Finally found a solution to my question about changing lockscreen icons. Unicon Beta will do the trick if anyone else is interested.
