Linux Books

Of course the Internet along with the help of Google is a great source of information. You can answer almost any question you have about Linux and find many tutorials, guides and help. However many people prefer reading this information on a printed book accesssible even when they are not online or don't have a computer in front of them. I've received many e-mails asking me to propose them a few good books regarding Linux commands, administration and for specific distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora etc. So, I've searched for a few good books. Here they are. Happy reading!

      In this guide I will show you 5 applications to customize your Android phone lock screen. You can add widgets and application shortcuts so that you can directly access them from your lock screen without having first to unlock your phone and afterwards use them. Note that CyanogenMod and MIUI roms are giving you the option to customize the lock screen. Therefore this guide refers mostly to pure android lockscreen.

 

WidgetLocker Lockscreen

WidgetLocker Lockscreen allows you to fully control the look, feel and layout of your lock screen. You can add sliders, widgets and application shortcuts.

Lockscreen Calendar

Locksreen Calendar does what it says. You can see your upcoming calendar events directly on the lockscreen! However this doesn't work with Samsung Galaxy S/S2 and HTC Sense.

No Lock

If you are tired of having to unlock your phone each time you want to use it this app is for you. Run it just once and now each time you wake up your phone it will be ready for use.

Are you using any modifications or widgets on your lock screen? Personally I am not using an application like those!

My lockscreen is WidgetLocker. Use it for about a year or more. It's very good.

From the applications I've seen I agree that WidgetLocker seems to be the best one.

Try out Speed Launcher Pro / Lite

Speed Launcher Lite replaces your default lock screen with customizable screen that gives you ability to connect your frequent contact with just simple swipe.

Application gives you interactive rotatory dial like screen to use your phone in more smarter way. It gives you ability to use your lock screen to perform common tasks in style.
Even with all functionalities available on your home screen, application still respects your authentication. If you have enabled pattern/PIN lock, it allows user to enter it for unlocking phone.
