Post Your Lockscreen Screenshots (WidgetLocker, etc.)

2012-01-19_14-55-46.jpg


Wallpaper: Something I've pieced together.

Widgets:
Widget Locker:
Slider ICS (Left: Tesla LED, Up: Dialer, Down: Calendar, Right: Unlock
Default WL Slider (Left to Right: SMS, Right to Left: cycles Mute, Vibrate, Audio.
Minimalist Text: Battery, Weather, and Time/Date

Things left to do: Find icons to color match the text.
 
Some apps/widgets have options to allow users to define any true type font they please. For Min Text: create a folder on your sc card called "Fonts'. Throw the fonts in that folder, no subfolders. Go into global preferences of Min Text and identify the folder you have all your fonts in. For each widget, define the normal/accented/unaccented fonts as you like.
For Simple Text, installing the app will create a group of folders on your sd card. There will be one called fonts, throw them in there, again no subfolders.
For other apps/widgets (Fancy Widgets, Beautiful widgets, lots others), the design will always show what your system font is. Depending on your phone or ROM, you might have a handful of choices, or not, to set this for the entire device. Rooting your device can give you access to changing the system font; the method for defining this depends on the ROM you pick. I can tell you how to do so for CM7 or MIUI if those are the ROMs you elect. Without root, changing the system font is not possible in most instances, though I have no idea about anything beyond gingerbread. Good luck :)

So you would search for the apps/widgets on the android market? Is it easy to setup w/o issues?

Setting Widgetlocker up is just like setting up a homescreen. Long press on a blank area and you get the add widgets/shortcuts/sliders menu and just put them in. You may have to check settings to disable menu access and unlocking using buttons from lock mode, otherwise its rather easy to just bypass widgetlocker.

So I just download widgetlocker and then go from there? It's not free though? LOL
I just wanna make sure it doesn't destroy my phone.

How about clocks and stuff?

Thanks.
 
I think I need some assistance: where does everyone get these customized sliders? Do I need to be unrooted to have one for my lock screen?

WidgetLocker won't destroy your phone. And the title of the app is exactly what you do to it: add widgets. That's it- it's a lock screen that you can add virtually any third-party widget to as well as custom sliders for just about anything.

So, download some clocks if you don't have them already. Pick a custom wallpaper for it. Use Google Search... it's your friend.
