if it is the stock lock screen (6.5), then yes for sure (don't have 6.5.x so can't say, but assume so). if it is cookies lockscreen...not yet.
settings > personalize > lock screen wallpaper

yes...there are many options floating around.
some can be found in this sticky thread or i like [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612083]this one.[/url]
cheers.
To change lockscreen wallpaper:
1) At the Home/Today screen, click on Start (top left hand corner)
2) Click on Settings icon
3) Click on Personalize bar
4) Click on "Lock screen wallpaper" option. Follow prompts from there.
For clock and battery display in the taskbar, I am using BattClock

Thanks so much installed BattClock and looks like working fine.
Is there a way to remove the lock screen?
Is there a way to remove the lock screen? I hate doing the little slide thing. This is my first phone that has one and it looks cool and all but I have never, ever turned a phone on by accident. I'd rather it was like my old HTC and I could just hit the power button.
go to: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen and look for "Enable" and set it's dword to 0

I found the explaination
"Click on an icon on the title bar, e.g. the battery or volume icon.
Then use the tweak "NoEnlargeTitleBar" and after soft reset click again on those icons.
Then you will see the difference."
but i still can't find the difference, could anyone post screenshot?
sorry for the stupid question.
no one knows?
Do you mean the system status screen? You can disable this in the Touchflo settings.

Sorry, but I assume it is faster to experience yourself the difference than someone posting screenshots which needs more time.
Is it so heavy to make a test? If you mark this, you will have always a info-bubble, if you tap on an element in the taskbar. Like the earlier versions of wm.
what they kindly say is that, if the NoEnlargeTitleBar is set to ticked, then when you tap the battery icon, the watch, the signal icon, the 3g icon on the status tab (the upper part of the screen) then the information will pop up with a white baloon.
if you have the option enabled it will lead you into a larger screen with all the icons so as to choose more accurately
Hey guys I've got another question. Does anybody know how to remove the clock from the lock screen?
I've gone through Setting>My Device>Lock Screen and have everything turned off.
I've even downloaded an app called "Lockscreen Policy" which has an option to disable Widget and/or Camera, I've switched both of them off as well. I don't remember the app saying anything about needing root to work.
Really annoying that the stupid clock is covering my Lock Screen Wallpaper especially when the Notification Bar is on the Lockscreen and that has a clock on it anyway.
Thanks in advance.

If you swipe down from the clock it will expand the widget. You can then long press it and drag it to the trash can that appears at the top of the screen.
Be aware, though, that if you do not have any widget there you will just see a screen with a big "+" sign asking you to add a new widget and once the phone locks the clock widget will reappear. The only way to get it to go away permanently is to replace it with a different widget.
Hope this helps.

You should disable the stock lockscreen all together and give WidgetLocker a try. It works really well on my wife's Note 2, and it's super customizable.

I try this and is says "unable to edit in security mode". I understand I may need to "unlock" the phone w/ the security code - but how do I get back to remove the lock screen clock if I do that? I am trying to get Dashclock Widget going, but this is blocking me.
Any thoughts?

Do you have a pattern or PIN lock set? I don't think the widgets work with those.

You are correct. PIN/Pattern doesn't work with other widgets. Thanks man.
Solved it
Hi, folks -- registered just to report that I have solved this problem. Download Minimalistic Text (free), though I'm sure you already have it. Enable Multiple Widgets on the phone, then add a blank Minimalistic Text widget. Delete your clock as described above and enjoy.
even easier: Blank Lockscreen Widget (Play Store)
galaxy s4 lockscreen
This has probably already been mentioned by now but for those still strugglimg with this. Drag down the screen from were the message and clock is. Click the pen looking icon to edit delete txt and uncheck clock if that is not required. Then press save in the top right and your lock screen will be clear :good:

Drag down the life companion message and click edit. Delete text and uncheck clock if also not required then press save. No app or root required just needs to be edited from the lock screen. May need to disable your lock security while you edit. Hope this helps
hide lock screen clock Android 4.3
Hey guys,
I recently got a Note 3 discovered that you cannot remove the lock screen clock. Simply doesn't allow you the option to.
But I found a way to hide it using the "personal message" feature.
Turn personal message on in the lock screen options menu.
Simply uncheck the clock and date boxes and space across a single character (as it won't allow you to have no text but will allow you a space which is invisible anyways..) and then hit save.
So then the next time you go to wake up your phone the lock screen clock will be gone!
I really don't like the way you are literally forced to have a lock screen clock!?!?
I often change my lock screen and desktop wallpapers and don't like the screen to be cluttered with text I don't want to see..
I have only tested this method on my Galaxy Note 3 so I am unsure if this will work on other Android phones..
Also what I have found strangely enough is normally there would be a half to one second lag for the display to sleep when I lock the phone.
This lag seems to have all but gone now that I specified a personal message (even though its blank) and hid the clock & date. Bonus!!
Hope this helps. Apologies if this has been previously covered..
Have fun!

Thanks so much for this now if I can just find away for it not to show that you have a text message on the lock screen things will be great.
FIxed.
Hay guys.
Sorry for the late reply. But I found a way to remove everything on lockscreen...
Date, time and also the unlock icon and rings.
But for now to remove clock simply allow lockscreen widgets then download zooper widget and replace your stock clock widget with an blank zooper widget.
Hope i helped.

There's a lot of apps you can download that changes the lookscreen and adds customizability

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay
do any of these work with fingerprint scanner? CM says it does, but i don't see the option in their menu -- just pattern or password.

Guys, can I hijack this thread to ask if your backlight is on when you use a pure black wallpaper as your lock screen wallpaper?
My blacks are pure black when I open my screensaver in the gallery (if i tap the screen to remove the UI, I can't see the screen at all in a dark room) and it's the same for most screens except for the lock screen. In the lock screen it almost appears gray or it appears like it's affected by backlight bleeding. Just wanted to find out if it's a software bug (since it's almost like the Night Clock bug) or if it's a defect with my phone. I also cleared my cache with no success.
Also, how do you take a screenshot of the lock screen?

Not sure if they work with the s6 edge, might have to wait for that support. I'll personally just wait for xposed to be updated so i can get fun stuff like wanam xposed, and just live with the current launcher, as i really like the fingerprint scanner.

You can change wallpaper by long pressing on an empty space in the homescreen. It goes into edit mode and you will see a wallpaper icon and label at the bottom left. Tap that and you are directed to another menu to select whether to apply your wallpaper to just your home or lockscreen or both. You can also go to settings>wallpaper to change wallpapers.
As for the weather, the design changes accordingly with the theme you choose.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for sharing guys. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that white status bar I have in the lockscreen. It just looks so ugly. Hopefully an upcoming FW update from my carrier would fix it. :fingers-crossed:

Why the need to change that? You only see that when there's an update. Do you get an update every hour?
So after I removed the special offers on the lockscreen, it shows some (around 5 I guess?) stock wallpaper on the lockscreen routinely. I know the wallpaper can be changed in display > wallpaper, but I can't find the place to change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Is there a walk-around to achieve it?
I've got the 6th gen HD 8, but in mine, I browse photos using the Prime Photos app. When I see one I want to use, tap it so it displays full-screen size, then tap the 3 dots (menu) in the upper right corner of the pic. One of the choices is Wallpaper. On my 8 HD, choosing and confirming this will set it as both the lock screen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper.

Thanks for helping. I really appreciate it. I was looking for the content related to "lockscreen wallpaper" and I didn't know that home screen wallpaper & lock screen wallpaper are changed at the same time.
Also, I can confirm that using your method and going to display > wallpaper have the same result.
There is a video which shows you how to do this

Totally unnecessary. Dragonfire1024 has demonstrated the way to change internal lockscreen wallpaper in his thread. As far as I know, that's the only way to customize the lockscreen wallpaper in a rotational way without using Amazon's app.
So...
What am i missing here? I've just changed my wallpaper, but my lock screen is still blissfully rotating pics from the folder of stock images that came pre-installed
EDIT found the answer in another thread. I mistakenly used Google Pics to change my wallpaper, not the control panel setting, which doesn't change the lockscreen.
On the other hand, this is a good work around to have different lock screen\wallpaper images.?

Sorry, but this was a year ago and I have no idea where I found it. Like I said in my comment though, my solution was to use the control panel. Also, did you pay to bypass the "sponsored" tablet? If not, you will always see the ads and never have control of your lock screen.
Other than that, I really can't offer much help. To be honest, I barely notice what my screen looks like these days. I use my Fire so infrequently I just open it, use it, and shut it off. So I don't know if the interface has changed.
Wish I could be of more help.
Disable the unwanted lock screen. Can you use Kustom Lock Screen Creator from Google Play Store
