Help Lockscreen Tweaking

F

Newbie
I just moved from a 3gs to an Atrix 2. For those of you familiar with hacked iphones I would really like to find an app like lockscreen info for the Atrix. For those unfamiliar is shows time, date, weather, next five calendar appointments (super important to me) text messages (which I already get with handcent) and quick email reviews. The main things I want on the lockscreen are time, date, weather, calendar, slide to unlock and slide to silent mode.

TIA for your imput on this.
 
I figured out how to do it with Widget Locker. But, it's definitely not as clean. Looks like I've got a learning curve to go through on that app.:eek:

It works a lot better when the phone is rooted as well. There isn't a root yet for the A2, but keep an eye out.
 
I just want the layout to be cleaner at this point. I have everything I want on there. I think I just need to find the right Widgets I think. I really like the fact I can access the status bar notifications from the lockscreen now.

Pretty cool. Would you mind doing a write up so we can see what we're missing?
 
Here is the layout I have so far. This is using widget locker.
Default time, date, battery resized down to one by four.
Weather widget (not sure which one I downloaded it) resized to one by two and centered.
Stock Calendar widget resized to two by four.
Stock unlock and vibrate/mute slider.

I also used Widget Locker's settings to enable the title bar so I can get to my notifications from the lockscreen.

I'm looking for the weather widget that is one by four and post the current temp and four/five day forcast.

I would also like a cleaner calendar widget.

I see what you're saying....looks pretty decent though, but will look much better once rooted.
 
That looks good. Here is my lock screen using "Executive Assistant". The only thing that I don't have access to, is the notification bar. But, I can get a quick view of text, emails, missed calls, facebook, etc. just from the lock screen without having to unlock the phone. You can't see them, but below "missed calls" is the calendar, e-mail and text. (Its a scrollable widget.) Sorry guys, I tried to make it larger, but Microsoft Picture Editor kept changing the demisions when I put in 620X280, making the file size larger.

I'm debating doing the recovery...with no unlocked bootloader and no PROMs out, I kinda don't see the point (beyond the nerd cool of it of course ;)

I'm with you. I can't wait for the RAZR to come out, I have a feeling it's gonna be the gateway for the A2 development as it shares the same cpu, but it's clocked to it's capability, 1.2GHz. Something tells me alot of the development for that device will carry over to the Atrix 2. We'll see soon!

But yeah, i'm holding out too, at least until they get it working 100%
