Default [Q/REQ] Why is a WP7 Lockscreen unthinkable?

Hi dear android community,

My question is: why is a WP7 Lockscreen for Android quite unthinkable?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989520

In threads like this often people ask for that kind of lockscreen but the answer is: no one did that yet.

Is it so difficult? I think no sourcecode, even if we had it, could be used for android development right? Therefore one had to write this program from the beginning?

I so eagerly want that lockscreen :/

Correct me, but i think this kind of lockscreen is possible to build with widgetlocker.

It looks like a full screen transparent status bar pulldown with an image on it to me...
HTC Evo Shift --> HTC Supersonic --> LG Optimus G

We all carry these things inside us, that no one else can see.
They hold us down like anchors, and drown us out to sea.

Hmm, I have widgetlocker but am unable to customize it to make it look like the WP7 Lockscreen.

Cool, thanks. Yes, since this lock screen is closer to get a port to any other android I'm hoping for that...maybe I ask around in the S2 section for someone to extract it.
