I've got a rooted G2 and I'd like the Dashclock widget to take up the whole screen instead of being truncated so heavily at the top third of the screen. The whole bottom 2/3rds of the screen is devoted to an empty text bos that just says "Verizon Wireless". Is there some way, either rooted or unrooted, to get rid of that so that I can have way more functionality?
Thanks.

Anyone have any luck with this? This is my last major annoyance with this sexy phone. Having full use of the lockscreen for dashclock.

You can change back to the AOSP Lockscreen and then download an Xposed Module to Maximize Widgets on the lockscreen - will this work for you?

Hi There,
I have somehow changed my lockscreen clock to be the play recommendations widget, even though the clock is set in lockscreen settings.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get this back to being a clock?
Thanks.

Anyone able to help?
Pull down the widget itself which should launch the options for more lock screen widgets, then slide left to either add more or replace your current one with a clock.
Was messing around with nova launcher today and changed the setting of whether the clock should be shown and where. I selected hide didn't like it and changed it back to stock. But is this correct in the lock screen? Clock hides in the notification bar.

It should not hide.
Its hides for me. Running PA 3.68 and Apex launcher.
I think it is supposed to hide as the time is shown in the lockscreen clock widget, and having the time show up in 2 places is redundant.
I did a little research and wanted to know if I really have the right info regarding wallpapers and the notification bar.
Please: no need to tell me to root or to use an alternative launcher. I am well-versed in both, but I remain interested in staying stock and using the default laucher.
So, is it the case that:
- The only way to have a transparent notification bar (it looks great) is to use the stock, LG-supplied wallpaper?
- There is no way to add to the stock wallpaper collection?
Thanks in advance.
I have the exact same question as OP
I currently use Xposed and Gravitybox for transparent action bar (nav. bar) and status bar, but only for home screen mode. In lockscreen the bars show wallpaper of homescreen not set lockscreen wallpaper

Thanks ZenWan - but Xposed is only for rooted devices, right?
Although I have plenty of experience with rooting and custom ROMs on previous phones, I really want to keep my G2 completely stock.
Aye, I believe it only works with rooted devices. But fair enough, understand your reason ^_^

There's ZOR over at the Theme's section who makes his own themes. Chose's his own wallpapers and icons and all and still has transparent as stock. I saw in one of a couple pages that he posted a link on to how he made them. that could be another way to achieve that. I myself wanted to keep but my impatience made me root; xposed and now i have that and way more options. are you afraid to void your warranty?

Hello fellow G2-Users,
One thing that bothers me with this great phone is the lack to customize the stock lockscreen. For example display calendar and weather, changing the clock etc. I know there is WidgetLocker and other apps but i want to keep the great unlocking animation from the stock lockscreen and of course knockoff from lockscreen.
Who else wants this?
Who can make this possible?

I'm using a PIN code for security, so that changes things a bit. On that version of the lock screen, you can swipe from the left and add widgets. Stock lockscreen.

Thx for your suggestion!! iam aware of that and it is also avaible without PIN security. But i want to see my next appointment and weather on the main lockscreen and change the (ugly) stock clock.
Try "Android Weather" app. It has the features you mention, you can make the widget transparent if you want, and it can be added to the lockscreen.

Hi
I'm unrooted, on stock 4.4.2 and using Nova Prime.
I'm trying to change my lock screen shortcut icons (remove label, change theme). I'm using Lumos but it doesn't change the shortcuts. I've tried changing the theme of the stock home but that didn't apply to the lock screen either.
The pic shows what I'm currently stuck with.
Am I flogging a dead horse here or is this impossible without rooting?
Cheers

Nova doesn't actually handle the lockscreens, that's still stock G2. You'd have to get a lockscreen replacement app in order to have any control over the lockscreen icon placement and possibly the labels. I used to use one called WidgetLocker; however, lately I have preferred having no shortcuts on my lockscreen so I have been going without.
Cheers, I'll check it out.
