Lock Screen Customization

[BrettAU]

What things do you recommend to customize the HTC One lockscreen? I have looked at the settings in personalize and none of those really do it for me. I have heard of apps like Widget Locker and Dashclock (which unfortunately doesn't work on the One), but I'd like to get your opinions first to see what is used and liked.

Widgetlocker will give you lots of options! It seems to kill the battery on my one though!

I use WidgetLocket too and haven't noticed the battery draining.

Anyway to do quick reply text messaging from the lock screen with widget locker?

I have tried setting it up with textra on the stock home screen and it will not work.

No, there isn't.

 

[BrettAU]

No, there isn't.

Do you know of any messaging apps or lock screens that do that or is it only for rooted devices?

 

[bembol]

Sorry, I only use hTc and don't know any other option.

Well, Textra does it on the homescreen but not the lockscreen.

Try executive assistant.

I just use the stock productivity one... You drag a text or reminder up and it opens the thread or calendar... Probably does the email too, but I have that unchecked

This works fine as long as you aren't interested in having much info available at the lockscreen. It will only show you a single unread email, a single upcoming cal event, etc. I found it to be limiting.

No, it shows more than one upcoming calendar event, or one text...You simply swipe to the left and it scrolls showing every calendar event in a 24hr period one by one, with each swipe, and every unseen text in a 24hr period. Try it...It's free, and already on the phone. You can set your email up the same way if you choose. You have to swipe the actual event or text.

Correct, I meant at a glance. I gave it a shot and ended up using Executive Assistant lock screen. It's shows me just about everything I need right on my lock screen.
