[Q] N4 Cyanogen - Lock Screen Slider + Pattern - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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;

lockscreen wallpaper

is it me or is there no way to have the lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper different like you could on the hero???
I was wondering the same thing......I dont think there is way to do it in the stock rom....
that sucks they a stupid move on htc part i hope i the devs can restore this issue in the custom roms
i dont mind it looks sleek
I don't mind it. It looks visually better this way (the lock slides... the screen stays in place). With the Hero, the entire lock/background moved.
I just installed "No Lock" from the market which disables the lock screen completely. It's great on the EVO, because now I can use the volume buttons to turn on my phone and not have to slide an unlock screen to access anything. That power button is sometimes tricky to reach with this massive size phone .
I believe thus was done for live wallpaper as they now work in lockscreen and password screen.
I like the feature

Since we're on the subject of lockscreens, is there anyway I can customize the lockscreen? It would be pretty nice if I could add widgets or something useful on there.

[q] Gingerbread lockscreen

sorry if its been discussed before but I can't find it anywhere via search.
here goes, during sgs' time with eclair, I recalled having set a pattern lock and when i turn the screen on, it would require me to slide to unlock first then proceed to pattern (similar to iphone set up)
nowadays on stock gingerbread rom, it no longer shows the main slide to unlock screen, instead it jumps straight to pattern/pin unlock screen. Reason I brought this up is that I did prefer the previous setup to see date, time and charge % left (also setting up a lockscreen wallpaper only works in the slide to unlock screen only)
does anyone know how to return it back to normal?
thanks

I'm pretty sure that it shows all that /(time, battery, date) and you could change the lockscreen wallpaper by going to : Settings > Display > Wallpapers and then Lockscreen Wallpapers....
Are you running stock ROM/kernel no EDT tweaks etc?
On my Juwe ROM the only problem I could find was that the lockscreen was transparent, thus showing the wallpaper you have on the homescreen instead of the one you have chosen in the settings.

Thanks for the quick reply, this came about on jvk then jvp rom, no tweaks etc
What happens is if i select no password required it shows the default lockscreen.
The moment i set up a pin or pattern lock, the lockscreen doesnt appear anymore, itvjumps straight to enterin pin or pattern screen, im pretty sure this happens to everyone else on stock gingerbread...

[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.

[Q] Looking for the way to have a completely transparent lock screen with nothing on

I'm on rooted i9500 at the moment, stock android 4.2.2
Looking for a way to completely remove anything on the lock screen (make it transparent), aside the top status bar.
Lock screen can be in 2 modes at the moment. The first one, is with only once widget, and the other is with multiple widgets. And it would be perfectly fine with the single widget lockscreen, if only when I remove the clock widget (or "life partner") widget it didn't come back the next time the screen is locked.
I found a way to make it "kinda" work with multiple widgets, and the blank lockscreen widget:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordpress.chislonchow.blanklockwidget&hl=en
It's ALMOST perfect, as it still has this f**** annoying plus sign on the side, and the top of the lock screen has this animation effect when I slide it. If I removed those 2 things, my lock screen would be perfect for me as I envisioned it in my head.
Any help (again, just a reminder, I am rooted, also have xposed framwework installed).

My last try I guess, or else I risk of getting a warning from a moderator
Anybody?
