Getting Rid of Stock Lockscreen Slider? Widget Locker - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Android 4.2.2 Lockscreen Widget functionality is till behind Widget Locker. But unlike my Samsung S3, on my new Nexus 7, I can't seem to find a way to remove the stock lock slider. In Settings > Security I have the Lock Screen set to: None I don't see an option in Widget Locker to hide/remove it. What a waste of screen real estate!

You have something wrong with your unit. That is nothing like the standard lock screen. Are you running a custom rom? I have the Security Lock screen set to 'None' and I just see my home screen when I turn on the screen.

The bottom half is stock, the top half is Widget Locker!!
Couple of tips for you?:
Try wiping your cache/dalvik.
Set lockscreen to non.
Uninstall and install Widget Locker.
Hope one of these helps !!

Duh. Just had to go into the stock locks screen editor and long press and drag the stock slider to trash.

Home screen app drawer/dock/menu/carousel ???

I'm wondering if someone knows of a particular type of application and if they can point me in the right direction? I'll make a request in the appropriate app thread if this hasn't been developer yet.
I'm looking for a sliding app drawer/folder/carousel/dock (whatever you want to call it) that goes on the main home screen.
I guess it's best to illustrate what I'm wanting. Here's my current home screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I know my clock is big, but I figure whether it's a clock or a home screen filled with widgets, that give us very little room for shortcut icons.
Where my 4 icons are below the clock, I was wondering if there as an app (or widget) where you can put more shortcuts, then, kinda like the home screens slide left and right, you could run your finger over that drawer or dock and just the icons would slide left or right giving you more choices. I put the arrows there to kinda illustrate what I'm after.
I know about "Launcher Dock", but that popups a transparent dock of it's own, and although it's nice, it's not exactly what I'm after.
I've searched the market, but searching that thing turns up absolutely useless results. I've search for menu, slider, dock, drawer, folder, and lots of other terms to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

How to permanently delete lockscreen clock widget?

Hi,
I installed Ubuntu live wallpaper and I really like it, but.. Since it has a clock I would like to delete my lockscreen clock widget on AOKP rom. (AOKP)
The problem is that I can't, and when I delete it, on every screenlock it turns back on. How to fix this?
Thanks
You cant without modifying the lockscreen itself. Even Lockscreen Policy just turns off the widgets but there will be the default clock. Its just designed that way.
What happens if he deletes the widget from system/app?
Umm u want the Lockscreen to be blank just enable all widgets on Lockscreen and download desktop visualizer and make a transparent widget with no action no label and a transparent icon and this is what u will get ( my Lockscreen is full transparent showing my desktop thru it

This only works with 4.2.1 based ROMs that stock ls has widgets
sent from the samsung galaxy airplane (i747)
You can always turn off your lock screen in settings and have it go straight to your homescreen.
You could also try using WidgetLocker

Lock Screen weather widget

Hey guys I have a question
Is there a way to remove this weather widget completely from lock screen? I have a feeling that this might have something to do with my lock screen lag.
You have to enable multiple widgets in the lock screen settings then you can remove it.

Hmm you were right after enabling multiple widgets I was able to remove it but it always come back on its own.
Only way to remove it is to create a new widget of your liking. Once you have done this the you can remove the one in question. I use hd widgets to craft a new clock and deleted that one. The new one has no issues with the dpi changes.

[Q] Default widget when playing music

This is going to be hard to explain but here I go.
I'm using a kitkat TW rom, by default, when you lock it and unlock it you get the clock and message original from galaxy and you can just swipe anywhere to unlock it.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you are playing music, by default, it doesn't show the clock and message, instead it scrolls to the right and shows you the music controls.
So, we could say that it passes from showing screen 3 to show screen 4.
The problem is that in my phone it passes from showing screen 3 to show screen 2, which doesn't contain any widget. Hence, I have to swipe to the right twice to get the music controls.
Is there any way to edit the default "lock screen" that it shows when the phone is playing or not playing music?
Thanks in advance
put a widget on the screen 2

As logical as your suggestion seems, the music controls widget cannot me moved from screen nor added in a new one.
The idea is to get those controls when I unlock the device, not another widget
ok, if your lock screen have an empty pages, try to remove them
just keep the home & music lock screen

Lock screen music widget problem

I have a problem with my lock screen music widget. 2 days ago it was OK and now when I play music from my phone and I press the power button to turn on the screen, it show this screen instead of the widget(watch the picture below)... And then I have to swipe from right to left to find the widget, and every time i change the track, it goes again to the same screen(with the "add widget" button) and then i have to swipe again.
Any ideas how to fix it?

It looks like it's a widget problem, try uninstalling & disabling any lockscreen widget to see if that will rectify the problem.

I did disable the Multiple widgets from lock screen now it's ok, but i don't have the music widget. So, now, when i play music and press the power button to turn on the scren, the background is the album cover, but i see the clock/weather widget(normal). So i think the problem is on the multiple widget/music widget. If i don't find any solutions, i will reset my device and see if it works.
