Default The Lock screen on these phones SUCKS!!

I am used to the normal slide a bar version of a lock screen, this lock screen is WAY to finicky compared to the norm ones, ive tried aftermarcket ones but more often then not ill see the default one load THEN ill see the new one load after and takes even longer to unlock

Install nolock, then there is no lock screen, it's useless anyways unless you use a password

Ok, you might be able to use nolock to disable the stock lock screen to use an aftermarket one.

I use one of the "Fourkey" unlock screens for GO Locker.

The double lock screen affects me as well. It always happens when boot completes, and sometimes in other circumstances whose cause I have not figured out yet.

Hey I just joined the forum. I have had the Exhibit 2 for about 5 months now. I hate this lockscreen! I have tried all the lock screen apps out there and none of them work correctly on this device. There has to be another way to get the stock gingerbread lock screen on this device.

Right now I am using GO Locker and it seems to be working fine. But I really want this phone to have this lockscreen.

Looks like Widget Locker to me. It costs ~$3, but it has a lot of customization options. I downloaded it recently, haven't had any problems so far. I've got the Ice Cream Sandwich theme with HD Widgets on my lock screen, and I'm loving it.
