In the 2014 build i saw a new sort of lock screen for wp8.1, but I can't get it. Is there an special app for it or something or a hidden feature? I have an Samsung ativ s.
8.1 new lockscreen

It's not released yet. It will be developed by Rudy Huyn. Not sure if it will be an app or a bundled feature. Most probably a bundled feature.
I don't know. Will try to ask Rudy on Twitter though. But I think it may coincide with the GDR1 update, maybe August-September like last year. But don't take my word for it.

By the way, do you know in developer preview you can turn off the phone even it's locked? I think it's a very big bug( 
), just hold the power button a few second and done, it's even don't need password. If you lose your phone it's great chance for thieves!!

You always can turn off your phone if you hold power button for a long time. It is like turning off PC by pressing and hold power button on it. How else you can restart your phone if it is hang?

I only found that. I don't remember the timestamp at which they showed it at build.

Microsoft also have an app for this, but not released it yet.

The Lock screen is the very first thing you – or your friends—see when you grab your phone, and in Windows Phone 8.1 we’re providing a new app that lets you set a wide range of interesting “Lock Screen Themes” which show all kinds of different visuals and animations. Make it yours…

Considering the APIs are not released to third party developers atm, I think we are all tanking about the same app (MS+Rudy Huyn one).
I think the video I linked could be a beta of the same app.

No, that video doesn't show the new lock screen. I've seen this one demo'd by Joe and it looks far cooler. I'll try and hunt it down.
it's really sad I missed that then ... waiting for you ^__^

There's a video on here somewhere that's a cut down version of the keynote for Build, where Joe plays with the diagonal lock screen.
But this is where your lock screen item is debunked.

And yes, it's developed by Rudy (I didn't know this before as I saw the video at work with the sound off).
