Post Your Lockscreen Screenshots (WidgetLocker, etc.)

So, I modified mine a bit. Same wallpaper and sliders, but I moved the clock and made it smaller. I also added SMS and email counts/shortcuts (sms unread count widget) and a battery indicator. (The battery indicator I really needed, but didn't want more clutter, so instead of adding it in as a large visual element I simply put the small numerical count in the bottom left, with 75% opacity. Keeps it out of the way but still accessible) I also hid the status bar. And I remembered to blur my info! Aren't you all proud of me?

I think I'm finally satisfied enough to leave this as-is, for a few weeks at least.

well if you have any questions i will help if i can. I'm kind of a trial and error type of learner LOL. No real training or knowledge.

Thanks, me as well. I'm having fun with trying new apps to make my screen look different. Which app did you use for to lock screen? I love the ability tov hide the status bar.
I couldn't find anything that would work for me. I'm sure I must be over looking an app..

Tried it, couldn't figure out how to screenshot?? Is there something I'm missing here? Thanks anyhoo!!!!

have myphoneexplorer installed on your computer (easy google search, light software to download), then connect your phone to pc (debug mode, charge only). once twinned, look for "screenshots" in the tool bar in the main window. good luck !

The Thick Black bar is a battery meter, and the bigger icon with the red number is missed calls.


I followed the how to here My Portal Lockscreen : Android

I also did a bit of tinkering with the chronotopia xml file to get all the info i wanted shown.



APPS
Widget Locker + Chronotopia + SMSUnread Count


Wallpaper

SMS Unread Icon

Chronotopia Config


Other specifics and work on how to get it working can be found on the reddit post above.
