SMS Lock Screen - Ugly - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is there a way to change the SMS notification that appears on your lock screen? I've read some threads on these boards and most of them point to certain apps on the Play Store, my question is... can I get it looking like 4.1.2? Just the SMS icon, nothing else.

"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"
}
The thing I loved about this setup was that the SMS icon looks pretty decent, if you swiped within the SMS icon, it would take you to the SMS itself.
For me, this looks ugly... I hate it. Dragging the box does nothing but show an ugly square on your screen, and to get to the message you have to double tap the message box (which is fine, but it looks so ugly)
my question is
What are you guys using for your lock screen? and secondly, can we get it looking like picture 1?
Many thanks.

alphabetical contact scrolling

thks
You mean like this:
{
"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"
}
?
Had to Google for a pic as I had no idea what you were on about
yea, dats wut i m asking....hahah....thks so much!
Good, the standard contacts app has it... see the grey thing on the right? Slide it up and down!
Another option is to use the gesture search app. Have a shortcut on your screen to it, activate it and type the name of the contact you're trying to find. I find it quicker to access contacts in many instances.

[Q] Problem with Dashclock, expanded

Hello,
I have a strange problem with Dashclock.
Normally when you get to the lockscreen, the display is like the third picture of the screenshot, then by swiping down, it expands like in the second picture :
{
"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"
}
In my case, by default I have the detailed list and not the small icons, but it's not expanded, so only one line is visible and the second is not complete.
Any idea ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did you modify the dpi?
I don't think so, I just installed the rom Project E.L.E but didn't touch any parameter.

Test message notification on lockscreen

{
"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"
}
Done some searching but just cant figure this one out.
So one the first screen shot you can see the text message preview on my lockscreen.
The second screen shot is after I tap the preview message without unlocking the device.
All it shows is a transparent square? What exactly is this?
I have exactly the same problem and can't figure it out either. The same happens when I have a missed call notification. When I tap on the transparent square then the phone pauses for a moment before it takes me to the person. But still it is a somewhat odd behaviour
That's the square where you would normaly insert your pattern / pin unlock.
that's where you slide to unlock. you're welcome!

And personal message, clock etc. All notification screens on lock screens have same upper square.

Toast notifications are getting hidden behind keyboard in stock ROM

In case you don't know, this is a toast notification.
{
"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'm using stock ROM v338. I have a bunch of apps that show me toast notifications occasionally during the day. I've noticed that whenever I have the keyboard open, the toast notifications are hidden behind the keyboard. So I'm unable to view the toast notifications when the keyboard is open & totally miss them. I have an old phone running Nougat & can confirm that this isn't the behavior in that, toast notifications are always shown above keyboard in Nougat.
Can anyone else confirm? I'm not sure if this is an Oreo thing or some bug either within the ROM or due to my setup.
