Help lock screen apps - what are you putting there?

so... just curious

this is a great new feature on this phone!

what apps are you putting on your lock screen? :)
 
Phone, Camera, Sms, Dolphin HD
and using the weather lock screen

I had the phone for like 12 hours and i think i only put it down for like 2 lol it like christmas in june =)
 
after a couple weeks of trial-and-error, and looking at what you guys are doing, here's what i'm doing on my lockscreen...

camera - from which i can quickly jump to the video camera

Coverage Map - RootWireless' app (see my sig) - i drive around alot so i'm always "scanning" the wireless coverage - especially if i'm in an area that hasn't been covered - way cool!

shazam - cuz lets face it, when you hear a really cool tune, you want to grab it! and.. sometimes time is of the essence!

Mute - the mute app on the lock screen is a two-press solution to muting the phone (click the screen "on" and swipe the app into the ring - done!) - this is the best/quickest solution i've found so far ---- and that's important to me - i'm actually kinda surprised HTC hasn't made quick-muting possible in the ordinarily-very-full-featured Sense UI (hmmm)




lockscreen itself... weather (good suggestion guys!)
:)

They do. Its a widget called "profiles" and would still be 2 "click". 1st pull ring up (unlock), 2nd press the profiles widget.
 
okay.. that's new to me

but i'm talking about from screen off - 1) press power "on" 2) icon > ring

with that widget (i just played with it) its gotta be one of the icons on the home screen or else i'd have to slew to the screen where it is (cuz i don't want to give up one of my spots on my #1 homescreen)

i still think my way is the fastest route to muting this phone
