Google had to remove the old Lockscreen UI due to Apple's patent of "unlocking the device with a predefined pattern", that's why now you can unlock the phone at any direction. - That's what I was told, at least.

So, I was wondering if there was a way to make 4.1's Lockscreen work on 4.2. Because honestly, the 4.2 Lockscreen is terrible.

And I am using Lockscreen Features, so don't reply with a Google Play link. But it doesn't bring back the ring, it just disables the camera and the widgets. ;)

Any help?

THAT is just rubbish. Google and other Android OEMs should really get up with the FSF and OSI and any other free software and anti-software-patent groups, and get rid of all software patents. (As if paying $1B to Apple wasn't bad enough, Samsung are now suing LG...)

[End of rant]

I suggest Holo Locker for the 4.1 Lockscreen.

Finally! Someone who doesn't like the new lock screen. I wish the lock screen had been made to unlock anywhere on the screen. Like the s3. Maybe with a setting to limit the number of screens.
