These are the basic settings available in Windows Phone, now we will come to the introduction of external applications to be able to change the lock screen.
Bing is a Microsoft service, many of you know, and beyond the search capabilities, Bing owns a very nice photo gallery that changes daily. As a result, the wallpaper on our Windows Phone 8 device will also be changed in an automatic way, which is less boring than the fact that we assign a certain image ourselves. To install Bing as a lock screen, go to Settings> lock screen> background .
This is a pure Vietnamese application developed by a group of programmers called Zendios. If you need an application that can display multiple calendar events on the lock screen (the default Windows Phone only displays one closest event), both the beautiful wallpaper changes itself with the Vietnamese landscape, the Lockie is a great application.
In addition to taking the wallpaper from the Zendios source, we can also set up to get the image from the device, from Bing, or choose a uniform color. If you feel the weather is too much, you can turn it off to show the calendar only.
In addition, Lockie is not just about lock screen because you can pin this app to the main screen. Lockie's Live Tile will display useful information about the calendar and weather for you to watch with funny flip effects.
These two social networking applications have support for displaying information on Windows Phone Lockscreen and often you do not pay attention to this feature. With Facebook , we can set up an application to display images from your own account, which is quite fun.

Twitter is similar, you can let this application display small images with tweet lines from a certain account you are following. So you can update information quickly right from the lock screen, too, right? How to choose Twitter as a lock screen wallpaper is like Facebook.
This app focuses on using images to decorate our lockscreen.Lock Buster is developed based on the Nokia Imaging SDK, the source for building image applications that Nokia optimizes for its phones, so we will have many nice effects to apply to photos when they are exported. out of the lock screen.
In addition, Lock Buster also supports creating a large image, which includes many small images taken from the machine and they will be arranged in a grid with optional sizes. If you like, you can save this grid image as well. The feature of automatically changing the image according to the predetermined time, shading is also present in the application. LockBuster costs 40,000 VND and you can download the trial first.
Another application that focuses on using images to beautify the lock screen, although its main feature is actually to merge photos.Phototastic supports displaying images in collage form (multiple images merge into one), and we can select multiple image display styles.
Example: Dividing half of the screen is picture 1, the other half is photo 2, or triple split with other sizes. We can choose images for each subdivision, adjust the image position to be beautiful. The free version will have a limited set of photo compositions, you can buy the full version (VND 70,000) to unlock all the features of Phototastic.

We can choose the number of images to be blended, adjust the assist color between images together, write text over the image, and adjust the effect for the image too. The best thing is that all of these features are provided for you absolutely free.
By default Windows Phone does not allow us to see battery life in the form of%, so it is a bit difficult to know how much the battery still has. If you have to unlock the device and run an application to see if it is too much work, we still have a better way: Take advantage of the lock screen notification icons. Unlike other applications, Battery does not occupy the lock screen, it is just a small icon.
After downloading this app, run it once, then go to Settings> lock screen> Select application to display quick status> + sign> Select Battery app. Try to lock the screen and open it up, a small icon of the battery with the remaining capacity will appear at the bottom of your screen.
