We all know that one of the biggest draws to Android is the ability to make your device something that defines you; the ability to make your device your own. Most people have figured out how to change their background, add useful widgets, and even use different home launchers to make their phone unique. I’ve looked at a lot of pretty looking phones in my day, and all of the best ones were themed from top to bottom.

My Minimal Lock Screen Setting Up WidgetLocker First thing we need to do, is adjust the grid size of the lockscreen so that it can accommodate everything we throw at it. Custom Slider The custom slider used here is a theme made by XDA member formicae. Date and Time For the date and time, I used SiMi Clock. An alternative minimal clock would be Minimal Clock Widget.
