Which aftermarket LockScreen do you use?
AOSP lock screens just aren't customizable enough yet for my tastes.
Which is funny because I like a super simple lockscreen.
But one that lets me swipe in any direction to unlock. Not just up/down or left/right.
Tried Zui lockscreen last night and it was nice but they tried to hard and it's got a stupid "control panel" via swipe that you can't disable.
That, and I prefer apps developed in USA or India or Europe because too many Chinese apps send data back to the developer.

I've honestly never been a fan of replacement lockscreens. I have never found one that performs as good and is as stable as the OS default lock screen. I always see them failing out and sometimes showing the os lockscreen instead, or I'll unlock it only to find the default one behind it etc etc.

With that said, maybe they have come a bit further since last time I tried them. I might give them another shot.
Subscribed for the suggestions.

Well, I just tried like ten different lockscreens.
Ever single one of them tries to do toooo much.
I wanted a lockscreen without any notification bar, no navigation bar, no app shortcuts, and the first nine apps I tried had one or all of these things without any option to remove them all.

I just tried C-Locker now and so far it's got what I need.
Which is odd for me to say because the app isn't working properly.
But it's an XDA developer so I bought it and will trust in the dev to get me past my issue.

It may even be some conflict due to all the junk the previous nine lock apps installed.
Ugh, I may just clean flash the ROM and try again.
Since I barely have any setup done yet on my 1/13 DU so not a big deal.

Yeah, I wiped my internal SD and C-Locker is working great now.
Man, those other lockscreen apps left behind folders all over the freaking place on my phone. And they were all thousand+ download, 4+ star apps.

I'm really liking C-Locker and will stick with it.
So far, there are no bugs like original lockscreen popping up (I disabled it of course).
And the dev just approved me to his beta program.
