Looking for a lock screen replacment

[LindseyS]

I have been searching for a particular app that I can't seem to find. I don't know if doesn't exist, can't exist or if I have been looking in the wrong places.

I was hoping someone here could help me. what I would want is when I press the power button and the lock screen comes up, to have ability to add widgets(maybe widget isn't the best word. I would like to be able to see the temperature, maybe how many texts/emails I have that are new or some other info like that.

I have the droid incredible and it does have this somewhat implement, it tells me if I missed a call or even gives me a shortened version of the last text message I received.

I don't know if this is possible, I do have my phone rooted if that opens up any possibilities. I guess i just don't know what search terms to use.

Anyone have any ideas?

Well worth the two bucks.

This is my lock screen:

Is there any way to place a weather widget(with the current temperature) with the app?

Also it would be great to be able to have the last couple of text messages, displayed, or emails, or tweets.

Any widget that is available to you on a home screen is available to widgetlocker, so yes you can to that easily.
