Wave over Lock screen - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Any way to set the Touchwiz Wave over info screen as a Lock screen widget?

So that you can always view the Quick Glance information? From what I know, the Samsung framework has no way to do that. It would be rather cool to entirely replace the background to the Quick Glance screen.
The Play Store may have some widgets that can give you something comparable that can also be added to the lock screen.

Will see if I can crack it open to be able to replace the background.

It looks like the background for the quick glance screen is one of the stock live wallpapers...I wonder what effect freezing them in TiBu would have?

Eye gesture?

For some reason I cannot get the eye gesture to work for scrolling Web pages any suggestions? Is there a distance you have to keep your fave from the screen?

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE WHOLE LOOK AWAY PAUSE WORKING ON THIS PHONE?!?!?!?! Since day one I've been trying to get that to work and nothing....not one single time did that damn feature work....
I hope I helped @corybucher if so hit the thanks =) lol
P.S. corybucher ........this is in the wrong section...it's supposed to go in Q&A a mod will probably move you soon
believe the look away pause feature is only for the stock video player

The look away or "Smart Pause" feature also works in the youtube app. It worked for me without even trying and is definitely a cool feature to show off the s4. Just make sure you enable "Smart Pause" in the settings under settings, my device, smart screen.

Also helps to hole the phone still and level and tilt your whole head just a hair or the phone...

Smart pause gets insanely annoying when ur trying to show someone a YouTube video and it pauses everytime you turn the phone

Do you lock your S4?

I would like to use the icons on my phones lock screen but I don't like the idea of someone having access to my phones data if I were to lose it or have it stolen. How many of you lock your phone using the lock screen? Use something else? Or let it run unprotected?
I don't put a password lock or anything on mine, but I keep an extra battery on me so i never have to plug it in and leave it somewhere and I therefore always have it on me.

Same here.
I had to sacrifice the lock screen widgets because I have to have a pin lock.

Lock screen notifications

Anyone know of a few good ones out there? I've tried a few but they didn't seem to work. I'm tired of the ugly message box when I get a text etc.

That's one of the ones I tried but it was weird. It would notify me of missed calls but I would still get the stock SMS notification (yellow box) also, the missed calls would only clear from my lock screen if I pulled down my notification bar. I'll give it another shot.

I just tried this one. I added email, missed calls and SMS but I'm still getting the stock text message notification. It is showing me email though.

I was able to get the dash clock one to work but how do I make it my default lock screen? Every time I lock my phone it goes back to the stock lock screen. When I long press the lock screen I can cycle between the 2 lock screens but I can't "trash" the stock one like I can the dash clock one. I also can't change the order of them. I though maybe if I placed the dash clock in front of the stock it would set as default...no dice.

Move the dash clock one all the way to the right.

You can try Knock2+ It's very similar to Active Display.

what rom are you on? if there is an option in the lockscreen settings to use aosp or touchwiz lockscreen choose touchwiz and on your lockscreen touch and hold the clock you want to remove and remove it. click the plus sign symbol and add dashclock. go into your messaging app, go into settings and uncheck the option to "preview message". that should fix your problem
I used lockerpro lock screen it works really good. Also used dynamic notifications its simple and just like the moto x active notifications. I don't use anything anymore just stock light notification.

Fullscreen lock screen Album Art

Hey, I'm waiting desperately for my moto and just curious if there is a Fullscreen lock screen Album art when I listen to music. Thanks and merry Christmas

Yes! On Kit Kat there is.

As said before it is available in KitKat. I guess full-screen depends on album art? Here's a pic.
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk
Ah thanks. OK it looks the same like on my nexus. I thought maybe in combination with the active notification screen it would look different

Active Notifications only light the portion fo the screen with the clock, and the text for the notification. It does not show ongoing notifications (that I've seen, yet).
I can say that very much like the screen shot posted by @RenSoAbrupt, Pandora looks the same. It fills the entire background with the album art of the song that is playing.
And desktop is full screen as well? Is Gel.Apk needed

Not sure what you mean by desktop...
I mean the transparent navigation and status bar on the home screen. For my nexus 4 I need the GEL.apk

I use Gravity Box for transparency.

mine will turn up later today but from the review I saw yesterday (video) the lockscreen did have a couple of widgets on it. There was a camera button bottom right and this particular review had the samsung tv app at the top of the lockscreen allowing him to adjust volume up and down and change channel.
Personally I don't have anything on my current S3 lockscreen other than the date and time but that's just me
All reviews I saw had a camera on the lock screen. Wtf!!! So angry

Sent from my SM-G900I using xda app-developers app
That sucks you can't even get the camera. I think I'd just turn off the lock screen at that point. You could also look into an app that puts shortcuts into the notification dropdown--I did this for a flashlight app because I missed having it in my quick settings on my last custom rom.

Indeed. I can't understand why they would take them away. Even my GS3 had this.

I have the same issue and spoke to samsung live chat and they said "Unfortunately the Australian models of the S5 do not have the feature where you can add a camera shortcut to the Lock Screen."
This sucks, ive tried using 3rd party apps and the shortcuts still wont work!
Im with vodafone AU
It's probably due to the CSC in Australia, this was an issues with other 4.x firmwares as well.
If someone is knox 0x1 already, maybe try flashing a different CSC from another region (maybe even a 4.3 to try it out)
