Default Slide 2 Unlock for Android (called S2U2 for Windows Mobile)

I'm gearing up to get my first Andoid phone hopefully next month, and was wondering if there's a port or an app already out there that's similiar in look and functionality as S2U2?

thx.

There's Lockbot out there ;)
It has iPhone lock style, Hero lock style, Donut lock style and even flair lock style!

Good new: it's free except uf you want to download skins (which doesn't even work on my magic) or want the flair theme (which is the ugliest one)

and even free version let you customise your own themes

cheers

Just bringing this back up since I just got a new Evo and am coming from a Touch Pro which had S2U2. I have tried some of the options on Android, but have not found anything even close to S2U2.

Does anyone have any other thoughts on how to get my calendar entries, notifications, texts, etc to show up on my lock screen (it also needs to look as good as S2U2 did 2 years ago).

Thanks.

Check out WidgetLocker.
I think it's by far the best lock screen replacement, and is fully supported by the developers at the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732986
You should just youtube search "widgetlocker" and you'll see many video reviews of it in action. Note: hardly any of the videos go over the fact that it can change from stock Android slide to HTC slide even to iPhone slide to unlock.
And to rs1990, yes it can add whatever widget you can think of including ones relevant to everything you mentioned.

Funny that you just mentioned WidgetLocker. I am actually looking at that right now. It seems ok at this point, but not as polished as S2U2 is.

I actually think that the problem that I have right now is that the calendar widget kind of stinks. I am looking for a widget that just shows any upcoming events and nothing if there are none upcoming. The default one shows that obnoxious white box that says "No upcoming calendar events," which is ridiculous.

OK, I just found Pure Calendar and it looks somewhat promising. It will allow me to put a nice looking widget in WidgetLocker to show my entries. So, I am going to look into that a bit and see if it suits my needs.
