WidgetLocker Lockscreen - Android app on AppBrain

widgetlocker

once installed, this app allows you to change the lock slider to various other options, lets you add widgets from other apps to the lock screen and also lets you add other shortcuts.

there are lots of options in the settings menu as well. You can use other buttons to wake the phone for example.

It cost $0.99, and works well so far on my Desire.

Thanks, I like this app, and there's no lag, well worth the price.

Although, I'm only going to use widgets as I don't want to accidentally open a program, like Handcent or the Internet before I unlock the phone.

Found a bit of lag when locking and then pressing the power button, it shows the Sense lockscreen for a split second before changing to the WidgetLocker screen.
