Has anyone noticed that when you tap a new message notification on the lock screen a clear white box pops up below? Isn't it supposed to open the messaging app when you tap on it? This happens even when my unlock Pin has not been triggered yet. I would post a screen shot but it goes away when I try to.

I guess the requirement for the swipe in the bottom prevents from accidentally unlocking you phone when its in your pocket.
My question is, how do I add more applications to that lock screen thing? I would like to use other apps, other than just text and missed calls.

That stuff is all in settings>my device>lockscreen. Add shortcuts, widgets, change the banner text or change the banner to clock....
Here's a question: on my s3 when I would get a text it would tell me who it was from on the lockscreen and the first few lines of the text would scroll by in my status bar, I'm wondering if anybody knows of a mod to give me this feature on the s4? Or if there's a mod for a popup message/quick reply with the stock messenger?

If you go into settings in the messaging app there is an option to turn on Preview.

There is no swipe at the bottom just a blank clear box that pops up when I tap on the message. I'm thinking maybe if I add some favorite apps to the lock screen thats where they would show up and since I havent set any its just blank. I will try this out.

If you are using the swipe to unlock feature. The default unlock with the phone, that clear box is the widget that reads the swipe.

Is there any way *quickly* toggle between lockscreen security modes without going into settings and re-do it there?
When I'm home, I only want "swipe" security for my lockscreen.
But when I go out, I want to use PIN for my lockscreen.
It would be great if I just toggle a "quick settings" button to select between the two modes.
But, the PIN code would need to STICK. Right now, I have to re-create it every time I switch between the two security options.
Any ideas?
A dashclock extension for this would be cool also.
There isn't something like that, but there IS a widget that is a quick shortcut to your lock screen settings. You'll still have to enter pins and stuff, but you'll save the effort of navigating there. It's the "settings" shortcut which should already come with the phone

Hi, I'm getting an S5 soon and I was wondering if I can enable the ripple effect ontop the current lockscreen (pattern, fingerprint, etc.). I know I can do this on my S3 Mini and would like to know if there is an option like that on the S5 as well?
In short: (On my S3 Mini) I have swipe unlock first and then when I swipe to unlock, it takes me to the pattern lockscreen, which I need to do in order to unlock my phone. Is there such an option or mod on xda for the S5? Thanks in advance to anyone who helps or decides to create such a mod if possible
Is it possible to port the new Lock screen fingerprint security tap gesture from galaxy N5/S6/S6E/S7/S7E/A5 2016 to galaxy note 4?
I am just wondering if it is possible to replace the swipe gesture? i am using [ROM][N910C][6.0.1] Ditto Note 5 ROM v0.6 from Electron Team which the Fingerprint for lockscreen doesn’t work.
Hello readers,
I want to use NEXT lockscreen by microsoft instead of the default android lockscreen, but the only problem is i cant get fingerprint scanner to work with it.
In the setting of NEXT lockscreen it says to go to system and enable the fingerprint but that requires a pin as well and now when i swype down the NEXT lockscreen
the android lock screen pops up with the pin, so basically two lockscreen and 1 pin. However, finger print bypasses both lockscreens.
So my main point is can i set up a Finger print scanner without a pin or patten and then i will set a PIN in the NEXT lockscreen settings, so basically the android default
lockscreen would be set as none with a finger print scanner and a pin with NEXT lockscreen.
I've read an old post from 2015 about deleting the lockscreen.db from data/system/ using root.
While i am rooted, i tried to move all the lockscreen files from that folder to another part of the storage, no luck.
Paranoid if i delete everything will crash.
