Uniform home/launcher and lock screen?

    I've had my Android phone for a week now, and while I've been getting to grips with it, after 6 years as an iOS-user, there is one strange thing that doesn't seem to annoy anyone else, if the apparent dearth of apps out there to resolve it are any indication.

    I've got my launcher/home screen looking well (Smart Launcher Pro) and I've got my lock screen looking well (Echo), but even with the same wallpaper, they're different enough to annoy me every so slightly.

    At a minimum, if I could find a launcher/theme that would give me the same clock/date/battery widget and notification widget as Echo, I'd be happy, but searching has proven fruitless - it seems you have to have one layout for one, and another for the other. It seems odd that there are hundreds of launchers and hundreds of lock screens, but not one launcher/lock screen, unless I'm just not looking for the right thing in the play store.

    Great choice on the Smart Launcher, been using it for years and would be lost without it.
    Have tried Nova and Google Now launcher for different periods and kept coming back to Smart Launcher. That said, deciding on the different themes and icons for the Smart Launcher can take a while as there are so many possibilities!

    My motorola has ambient display on its lock screen which i love,
    so thankfully the launchers in the play store don't automatically include lock screens!:p
