How do I delete the default slider? The one with the camera and brightness on it.

On tool mode, long press the middle and drag to trash bin

It's in the settings, you have to select "no slider" or something like that. Then you can just add custom sliders only.

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

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

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

How To Remove Lock Screen Widgets (Clock)

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.

Lock the screen orientation in Paranoid Android 3.15

Hey guys this is probably going to sound dumb, but how do I lock the screen orientation in PA 3.15? I've only been using it for a day and maybe I'm just blind but I can't seem to find it. I wanted to make sure it stays in portrait.
Settings>accessibility>uncheck auto rotate screen
You can also add shortcut to this to your quick settings in status bar

Ahh thanks! I thought that was what the 'lock screen' option was in the quick settings. What does 'lock screen' do then?
That enables/disables the password needed to unlock the phone

Quick Pulldown and Smart Pulldown

Hi. I'm new to this ROM on my Nexus 7 3g (tilapia). As there is no up to date forum on XDA for this particular device, I am posting here. I can't get Quick Pulldown or Smart Pulldown settings to stick. I set Quick Pulldown to "centre" but when I exit settings and go back in nothing is selected. Same for Smart Pulldown. I can get quick settings by pulling down on the right, but I am unable to change it. Any ideas? I did a clean wipe/flash of the ROM. I'm on the 4/27 build but it has done this on the last 2-3 builds I've used.
When I say I can't change the Quick Pulldown settings, I mean I can't add or remove tiles. I found the switch to rearrange them, but I can't change what shows up. I can't find any setting like in other firmware where I can choose which tiles appear here.

I assume you mean the pencil? All that does is let me rearrange the tiles. I can't add or delete any. Unless I'm missing something. I've tried dragging tiles off the screen, pulling down on the panel in edit mode, etc.

Anyone? Am I the only one with this problem? Maybe there's a conflicting setting somewhere I don't know about that keeps it from being set.

You can't add more tiles. All the available ones are already there.
To remove a tile, just tap on it once while in edit mode. It will fade in the background, and won't be displayed once you exit the edit mode.

Thanks! I was beginning to think I had some sort of unique bug. With no official forum for my device on this ROM I was thinking of switching back to SlimKAT, but I really like this ROM.
I still can't get the options to change the location of the pull down and Smart Pulldown to work, but the default seems to work fine. The settings I choose simply don't stick - if I go back into the option they are all blank.

Lockscreen shortcuts

I am blind or this option is not available? i want to remove the icons/shortcuts on the lockscreen, for example to show only emergency and camera or smth like that.

Try
https://www.xda-developers.com/its-still-possible-to-enable-the-aosp-lock-screen-on-htc-devices/
It is doable much easier, put custom luncher and costumize it how you want, and after that get back to Sense luncher and remove all the icons from the bottom bar and voilla, the lock screen its clear(if you miss the camera just double tap the power button-activate it, and the emergency call is anyway availabale when you swipe on the screen).
Maybe it helps other people too
