Can you change the lock screen clock?

[IamRad]

So, I downloaded this theme off the theme store, but the clock is in Chinese characters instead of numbers. I can't read the time that way, so I tried to change just the clock, but I couldn't find a way. I tried using the Good Lock app but I didn't like what it did to my phone. Mainly, I don't like that unless I set it to instant lock, it never returns to the lock screen and instead just opens up to the home screen or where you left off. I turned off every option but I still couldn't change it. I there is a way to get widgets to appear on the lock screen then that would do the tick as well.

I know this is a lot of work for just a theme, but I really like the icons. I wish there was a way to just combine themes.

You can add widgets to the lock screen with Good Lock.

Yeah, but I don't want to use Good Lock. The interface is too smooth and metro looking.

I'm not sure if you mean that because of the purple look it has on the default settings but you can change it around as far as the look of it also. I have mine set to a black and grey scale because I like the more subtle look.

It isn't just the color. It the the UI in general. I guess this doesn't really matter any more as I just added my own images and picked a theme where the icons matched my wallpapers. I didn't do this in the first place because I didn't want to have to download like 30 themes to see which one matches my custom wallpapers. In the end I did tho. It was annoying and I got a headache.

LOL, I know what you mean. I didn't want to do the whole Samsung app store and theme store downloads (I disabled all that stuff) so I just sideloaded the Good Locker apk. I wonder if just a theme or two could be sideloaded as well

easiest, safest way without looking all over weird websites for an apk that might be infected or BS 'apk' sites with ads and bogus 'ZOMG PHONE INFECTED!' scam ads is the following...

I dont know how you disabled those apps; i use App Disabler Pro (Samsung) from Google Play. If you used such an app, then...

open up your chosen app disabler
export a backup of all your disabled/enabled apps as an xml file
enable all apps
open samsung apps
log in/create account
download/install themes/apps
reopen your chosen app disabler
import enabled/disabled app list from xml and apply

OR...
enable theme store
enable samsung themes
enable misc related apps you disabled
create/log in to samsung app/theme store
download apps/themes
apply them
disable apps you enabled

either of these ways, you have the legit, safe version installed, and the related theming apps and misc apps you didnt want are disabled. I do this, and also hide apps via Go Launcher EX Pro on my own, GF's, and folks' phones when i set them up for them. I disable everything a user WONT use, tweak notifications appropriately, and I just dont like seeing apps/themes/etc ill never use so i disable them, or hide them if they just quietly do their thing, for my phone, GF's (she just doesnt want to be bothered with setting her phone up that much), and folks (they dont really know what they are doing).
