I remember back when Honeycomb came out, and Android decided to stir away from the slider lockscreen. I loved how Honeycomb’s lockscreen looked, and I would always be checking forums trying to get it onto my phone. Same thing when ICS came out. I just had to have it. Some methods required flashing a zip file that could change your framework where it was slightly modified to look like those lockscreens. Still never felt like I had them though.

The very popular home replacement, Go Launcher Ex, decided to take things further with their launcher. They introduced “Go Locker” to add a custom lockscreen to your already customized home launcher. With Go Locker, users were able to get the ICS theme to bring that beautiful lockscreen to their Gingerbread running device. Well now it is time to get Jelly Bean in the mix. Developer team by the name of Exitic Apps have created the Jelly Bean style lockscreen to bring the slightly modified new Android lockscreen to your device.

There are some other JB themes out there as well, but they do not capture the look of the JB lockscreen like this theme does. Free in the Play Store, so if you are already rocking Go Locker and Go Launcher Ex; get it in there and get some Jelly Bean. You can still try to use Go Locker and this theme even if you are not using Go launcher Ex, but just to warn you it was a little iffy on my phone using Apex Launcher. Let us know how you like it.
