Default [Development] How to change/disable lock screen in RAZR?

Well I've been playing with lock screen on RAZR, the default one I think is just... 'pathetic'? I'd like to have a more custom one with more options and stuff.

I've tried WidgetLocker but sadly It won't work right with phone, sometimes takes long to show, buggy, or shows both lock screens + pattern etc... It's an absolutely mess.

I've read that you can flash a custom lock screen in any phone, and since mine is Deoxeded with eternityproject's rom I should be able, but reading documentation I found It says is a dangerous thing to do since you can easily corrupt your android since this feature is deeply installed on it.

So I would ask for help to someone who can help us to give the last custom tweak for it. I am not an expert on Android, but I like to tweak and learn about it since I just started to code stuff for android last year, would like to learn more about It's structure and so on.

Thank you!

Oh sorry well, this is not only a question but a proposal for developing alternative lock screen.

Well that No lock app might remove it but we find the problem when you get a new lock screen from any app it will take long etc... so only idea I get is replacing it from Android system itself.

Unless you're rooted and flash a custom ROM that has its own custom lock screen. Or if you are rooted then go to droidpirate.com download a lock screen and use metamorph app to install it. Just make sure its compatible for the Razr

Widgetlocker works great for me. make sure root helper is on. Also try go locker and miuilocker.

sadly enough for me I can't use a custom lockscreen without the stock lockscreen also showing - due to having Exchange set up on my phone and my work's Exchange server enforcing PIN lock -_-...

IMHO, it's a bad idea to develop a custom lockscreen right now 'cause we'll upgrade to ICS soon...
...and its lockscreen behavior should be different from the GB one.

It would be a good idea starting to develop directly on ICS.
