[Q] lock screen pattern dots - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently running PA 3+ on my N4 and am trying to change the dots on the lock screen. Does anyone know the location? I have the images I want to use and everything is extracted, ready for transferring/name changes.

[REQ + Q] Stealth Pattern Lock Screen? Or Trailless Patterns?

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

Lock screen question. Please help.

First off, I'm running dirty aokp 3.5 (haven't had a chance to update it, may be the problem here) but a few days ago the lock screen went from the slide any direction to having the shortcuts so you can only slide it in one direction to unlock. Anyone know what the deal is? I really like the how the lock screen was...

The best I can tell you is to try a couple things. In CM 10/10.1 (AOKP is based on CM), you go to Settings -> Lock screen -> Slider shortcuts. This I know from experience with CM on my EVO LTE. Of course, this changes nothing in CM 10.1 if you have a pattern/PIN lock, as the slide shortcuts never show up.
On my completely stock (4.1.2) Nexus 7, you go to Settings -> Security -> Screen lock, where you can change it from Slide to None, Pattern, etc. Also, I noticed when I enabled the Slide unlock option that, even though the Google shortcut was at the top and the padlock was at the bottom, I could also slide to the left or to the right to unlock.
If none of this works, it's probably a bug in the ROM you're using and you should update to the latest version.

Lockscreen Wrong Size

I notice right off the bat if I wake my phone by pressing my lock screen, the widget I'm using (not just Calendar) is condensed. I need to manually drag the square down to see it in its entirety. However if I scroll across to other widgets on my lock screen, they are all the proper size. How do I set it up so I can see the full view of my center widget whenever I unlock my phone without touching the screen?
To be clear, I want picture 1 to look like picture 2 the moment I wake my phone. Is this possible?
Edit: I'm running stock vanilla Jellybean

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's not possible running stock. It was designed that way because the bottom half of the screen is needed for your unlock pattern.
You'll need to flash a custom ROM. They do this so you can unlock your phone quickly without having to drag up the widget.

[Q] N4 Cyanogen - Lock Screen Slider + Pattern

Good Day Everyone...
Been running my nexus with cyanogenmod for about 5 months and its running like a charm....Normally my screen is protected by the pattern but Am trying to find a way if there's a tweak where both the slider and the pattern can be set.
I enjoy how the slider operates(the animation) but at the same time I'd want to lock it>> The way I imagine is if i slide it to a particular area then am presented with the pattern;

How to get widgets on pattern lock screen?

I know if you disable any security on the lock screen, you can put widgets on it by swiping left and right. The only problem is, when you enable pattern lock or pin or whatever, you cant get widget on the lock screen anymore.. WTF? I know the stock 4.2.2 can get it because my Nexus 7 is able to do it no problem.
Anyone know any tricks around this?
Thanks!
