Hey guys,
just wanted to share something quite cool, I'm really liking WidgetLocker, going to be fiddling with my lockscreen for a while, here is what it looks like currently.

There is flash toggle, 2G/3G switch then the top ones are just beautiful widget toggles like wifi, internet, screen rotate etc.

The Sense unlock is also awesome.

This is a cool trick if you use your phone as a GPS

Once you're locked and navigating to your destination, you can actually turn off your internet. This is a huge battery saver.

If you go off course you'll need to recalculate which does need internet but then you can turn it off again.

here's another very helpful trick using Folder Organiser

This is with the stock razr but I'm sure it could be used on other phones or even with other launchers like LauncherPro or ADW

I've put 2 folder shortcuts where the default razr menu is, you have the control to rename these shortcuts:

So those icons will of course stay there no matter which screen you're on.

The first icon is for commonly used apps and the second icon is for communication apps.
