Lock Screen Apps?

[bcarpman]

Has anyone found a good lock screen app for the Infuse? I want something that will let me not have to unlock if the screen has only gone blank for a few minutes. I'd also like something that puts alerts, such as who just sent a message, right on the unlock screen (like an iPhone). There are a couple out there for android, but none of them so far work on the infuse.

thanks

I like Widget Locker... but it doesn't do those two things you mention (not having to unlock if screen turns off and showing WHO has sent a message)... though if you configure one of the locks to have your SMS app on it, it will show how many messages you have. I have Gmail app as my lock widget so it shows how many unread emails there. I like your wishlist... but I'm perfectly happy with Widget Locker as is. BUT, come to think of it... this phone locks itself up waaaaaaaay to easily.

I use Widgetlocker as well. I don't believe it will do the first thing you mentioned. And as for the second, you can find widgets in the market that will show the information you want and widgetlocker allows you to place them on your lockscreen. You have to option to interact with them, or only have them there for viewing purposes (which is what I opt for). Developers are often willing to add features, so you can email the developer (via the market page - near the bottom) and ask if they can (or how to go about putting in a feature request).

That's funny about your last statement regarding having the alerts on the screen. As you have probably seen, the way Android does is what the iPhone will do in iOS 5. The iPhone is adopting the same notification system Android phones have been using.

I just downloaded a lockscreen app called "GOTO Lockscreen. I works pretty good but mainly it gives you notifications on the lockscreen for new email, sms, and missed phone calls etc.
