Lockscreen wallpaper.

I'm running ShubCraft 1.5 and trying to find a way of changing the wallpaper in the default lockscreen. I have tried LockBot but it was very buggy, half the time didn't stop the default lock screen from appearing (meaning I had two lock screens) and seemed to effect battery life, not to mention removing my Handcent SMS notifications. It was basically unusable.
I have searched to no avail, does anyone know how to change the lockscreen wallpaper without effecting the default homesceeen one?
Cheers.
I know when I was playing with the cyanogen no them version there was two options for changing main and lock wallpaper. That may have something to do with Adw launcher and I take that off right away. so have a looksy at or around those settings.
Edit apparently when the phone locks what you're actually seen is you home wallpaper and thats why its the same.

How To Remove Lock Screen Widgets (Clock)

Hey guys I've got another question. Does anybody know how to remove the clock from the lock screen?
I've gone through Setting>My Device>Lock Screen and have everything turned off.
I've even downloaded an app called "Lockscreen Policy" which has an option to disable Widget and/or Camera, I've switched both of them off as well. I don't remember the app saying anything about needing root to work.
Really annoying that the stupid clock is covering my Lock Screen Wallpaper especially when the Notification Bar is on the Lockscreen and that has a clock on it anyway.
Thanks in advance.

If you swipe down from the clock it will expand the widget. You can then long press it and drag it to the trash can that appears at the top of the screen.
Be aware, though, that if you do not have any widget there you will just see a screen with a big "+" sign asking you to add a new widget and once the phone locks the clock widget will reappear. The only way to get it to go away permanently is to replace it with a different widget.
Hope this helps.

Yea i just tried it out and see what you mean. I just don't understand the point of it being mandatory to have something. That ****s raining on my customization parade. Thanks for the input.

You should disable the stock lockscreen all together and give WidgetLocker a try. It works really well on my wife's Note 2, and it's super customizable.

I try this and is says "unable to edit in security mode". I understand I may need to "unlock" the phone w/ the security code - but how do I get back to remove the lock screen clock if I do that? I am trying to get Dashclock Widget going, but this is blocking me.
Any thoughts?

Do you have a pattern or PIN lock set? I don't think the widgets work with those.

You are correct. PIN/Pattern doesn't work with other widgets. Thanks man.
Solved it
Hi, folks -- registered just to report that I have solved this problem. Download Minimalistic Text (free), though I'm sure you already have it. Enable Multiple Widgets on the phone, then add a blank Minimalistic Text widget. Delete your clock as described above and enjoy.
even easier: Blank Lockscreen Widget (Play Store)

This has probably already been mentioned by now but for those still strugglimg with this. Drag down the screen from were the message and clock is. Click the pen looking icon to edit delete txt and uncheck clock if that is not required. Then press save in the top right and your lock screen will be clear :good:

Drag down the life companion message and click edit. Delete text and uncheck clock if also not required then press save. No app or root required just needs to be edited from the lock screen. May need to disable your lock security while you edit. Hope this helps
hide lock screen clock Android 4.3
Hey guys,
I recently got a Note 3 discovered that you cannot remove the lock screen clock. Simply doesn't allow you the option to.
But I found a way to hide it using the "personal message" feature.
Turn personal message on in the lock screen options menu.
Simply uncheck the clock and date boxes and space across a single character (as it won't allow you to have no text but will allow you a space which is invisible anyways..) and then hit save.
So then the next time you go to wake up your phone the lock screen clock will be gone!
I really don't like the way you are literally forced to have a lock screen clock!?!?
I often change my lock screen and desktop wallpapers and don't like the screen to be cluttered with text I don't want to see..
I have only tested this method on my Galaxy Note 3 so I am unsure if this will work on other Android phones..
Also what I have found strangely enough is normally there would be a half to one second lag for the display to sleep when I lock the phone.
This lag seems to have all but gone now that I specified a personal message (even though its blank) and hid the clock & date. Bonus!!
Hope this helps. Apologies if this has been previously covered..
Have fun!

Thanks so much for this now if I can just find away for it not to show that you have a text message on the lock screen things will be great.
FIxed.
Hay guys.
Sorry for the late reply. But I found a way to remove everything on lockscreen...
Date, time and also the unlock icon and rings.
But for now to remove clock simply allow lockscreen widgets then download zooper widget and replace your stock clock widget with an blank zooper widget.
Hope i helped.

This should have been asked in the Q&A section so will probably be moved.
When at the lockscreen can you not drag the current widget down to maximise and then swipe to the right, you should then be able to tap a '+' icon to add a widget.
Notifications on lockscreen
Hey there,
I recently upgraded from the SGS3 to the SGS4.
I realize that everytime I get a new text message, I have to swipe across the lockscreen (the one with the clock) to get to the message notification widget. Thats seems a bit odd to me, coming from the notification bubbles on SGS3.
Is there a way I can get notification bubbles (I know its a long shot) or possibly the notification for a new message on the same lockscreen as the clock is?
I do not want two separate lockscreens for the clock and the notifications.
I tried deleting the clock lockscreen, but it just keeps coming back.
It seems like everytime I get a new message, I have no option but to have two lockscreens.
Is there a solutions to this ?

Im not sure if this is exactly what you're after, but go to the messaging app>settings, scroll down to near the bottom and check 'Preview message'. This should give you a preview of your received message that you can tap to take you straight to the messaging app.

See notifications on lockscreen

Hi all, is there any way to enable and/or see any notification on the Lockscreen when you have any other Lockscreen Design chosen than the default one? In German the default is called "Diashow-Entsperrstil", which only shows the notifications. But as I am using the settings in the picture (because it is looking so damn hot when you see the shooting stars on the lock screen with this wallpaper) I am a little bit mad about not seeing any notification neither on the screen nor in the top status.
From what I know you only can do either:
1) Using deflaut theme, changing wallpaper and symbols to what you desire and pausing diashow.
2) Using customized theme which supports notifications and adjust main screen, lock screen and symbols. I am using for instance that one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=h7.hamzio7.aospdark.ps (flat theme supports notifications).

I have the same problem. Did you found any way to solve it?
Try the app "floatify". I think that's wat you want.
You have to use the dia show Lockscreen to get it work
Floatify is a really good app. But it only works with Android 7.x or lower. Since Oreo it is not working anymore.
