is there an App or Hack for this? I'm always checking my battery and would rather see it on the lock screen than unlocking it first. I mean it shows while charging, it seems like ti should be easy....but what do I know
Widget locker and a battery widget?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Try Battery Status Bar. It's free, has tons of options and puts the accurate % in the notification bar which of course can be seen on the lock screen.
I use the pattern lock method and was wondering if there is one, or if someone can develop one where it doesn't show the trail as you move between the dots. I find that when it shows that trail, anyone within 15 feet can see your lock pattern.
So a mod where it's exactly the same Pattern Lock feature but without any green trails.
Or better yet, a completely invisible Pattern Lock screen!
I couldn't find anything on Market.
Wow I rock. Uncheck "Use visible pattern" in settings and that answered 1/2 my question.
With some of the custom roms like cm7 you can disable any sort of unlock widget and use a gesture to unlock. You can build any gesture you want. Swirls, squares, zig zags.
So when you go to your unlock screen it just has an empty screen with your background and you swipe around and unlock

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.

Yea i just tried it out and see what you mean. I just don't understand the point of it being mandatory to have something. That ****s raining on my customization parade. Thanks for the input.

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.
[Rooted Phone] I found this xposed module and it's working fine http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ssrdroide.lockscreenclockmods
Here's the thing, I hate EMUI lock screens, magazine works but its notifications are useless, as I can't expand them, and have to unlock the phone to see them in detail, so, useless. I've tried a few replacements so far, ZUI, Echo and at times, Hilocker, don't work, as I have to swipe two lockscreens and that sucks too; Acdisplay which I loved on my previous phone doesn't even launch, so far only Microsoft's Picturesque and Next work really well, but picturesque has the same notification problem and Next seems to drain battery like there's no tomorrow. Can any of you recommend a working lock screen? With expandable notifications and preferably shortcuts, or do I have to sacrifice my battery life for a working lock screen?
Try Next Lock screen from microsoft:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...microsoft.next
edit: so you already tried next , it's the only lockscreen that can compare to stock
There are many lockscreen app on play store but they consume battery too much. By the way you can disable emui magazine unlock screen in developer options so you don't have to unlock twice.
There is one more option. Why don't you try a third party notifications app like: floatify and headsup.
Hey everyone!
My issue is that in my previous phones they all displayed the Google clock + weather info + next alarm in the lock screen, but Mi A1 only shows the clock, is there a way to edit the lockscreen to have it show or download something to do that?
I've looked at the options and there is nothing there :/
Thanks,
Kamefrede
it seem to be because AOD (Always On Display) screen ... its not only lock screen. It seem that due to security reason you can not show any widget here. You can use GLANCE PLUS but I dont know how to show any widget like Chronus on this. If you found a way to do, please let me know.

I didn't find an "official" way to do it, so I installed an xposed module (Lockscreen widgets I believe its called) and removed the default lockscreen clock and replaced it with a 3rd party widget that included weather + clock
finally you just have to install and use chronus from google play store and you will see weather on locked screen in 2 minutes. no need glance no need xposed or whatever else, only chronus.
