Got my Note 3 today and began customizing the settings. When I select "Secure with PIN" it does not give me the option for "with swipe lock". I don't remember whether that option was a stock option or one that got added with my Beans Rom on my Note 2. Either way, I can't figure any way to setup a secure screen lock with pin AND have lock screen widgets!!! I had previously used Widget Locker, but it says it's not compatible with my Note 3. Any ideas?
i dont think that is a factory option
Well, I just did an APK+Data backup of Widget Locker on my Note II and restored it to my Note 3. Problem solved...for now. I was looking forward to getting 4.3 so I didn't have to keep using 3rd party lock screens, though. Oh, well....

I did this as well, but the pull down of notification bar sits "behind" the widget locker icons/widget, etc - sort of semi-transparent - making the pull down almost unusable..not an issue for you?

Almost self defeating isn't it? I love choices, but to have a lockscreen locked with PIN number, and bust still have access to Lockscreen widgets that show info? I can see why stock wouldn't do that.. But I can see more choices as well sir!

No, I didn't have that problem. However, I've since rooted my phone and used Xposed Framework with a couple of modules & Wanam Xposed to get it exactly like I wanted. They allow me to use the stock lock screen with multiple widgets and a PIN with quick PIN entry (no need to hit enter).
[SOLVED]
Root and install Xposed Framework with the following modules: "Maximize Widgets", "Samsung Multiple Widgets", "Enable Camera on Lockscreen" & "Wanam Xposed". In Wanam Xposed, under 'lockscreen', select "enable quick PIN unlock".
Check other settings as desired...but the above settings will give you a secure lock screen with access to the camera and several full screen widgets, as well as quick PIN unlock (no need to hit enter).
I would like to add, for some not superusers (like myself) After installing xposed installer and installing and activating "Maximize Widgets", "Samsung Multiple Widgets", "Enable Camera on Lockscreen" & "Wanam Xposed"...
Under Modules, Click Samsung Multiple Widgets >> Check "Force Camera Widget".
Enjoy
Hello
I have account exchange (pin on lock screen) and i have problem with Samsung Multi Widget....
On lock screen I can move left and I have camera but I can add new widget...when I deleted exchange account I can add new widgets...

Yes its possible. Just hold on selected widget and drag your selected widget on main screen or what ever the place you want then unhold it.
your widget has been set.

I just found this post and was able to get my ICE widget on my lockscreen, thanks!
However, I tried the "Force Camera Widget" but didn't care for it. I have unchecked and uninstalled "Maximize Widgets" and "Samsung Multiple Widgets" but I still have the camera widget on my lockscreen. Prior to enabling it I had a screen of shortcuts. I would prefer that but would settle for getting rid of the camera widget. I hope you or someone can help.

Question: Do I need to uninstall my Exchange account to be able to get things working? The Wanams Exchange hack seems to do nothing. Maybe that's also because I didn't disable Knox? (doing that scares me)

no, youre good with knoxx.... go to your superuser app and clear all auto deny/ time limit.. disable enforce permission, trust system user. app should install and you can reset your settings
if the app still does not work, then its root causing an issue with permissions on the exchange side. , and will take a little work.. i believe what you do with your device is between you and your pocketbook... GNL and VZW should have no business using apps that detect root, other than more $$$$ ..... but hey, its just my opinion ... protect your root, and check files upload, and to verify the repo list can be found here:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposed
latest installer :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
wanam is the UI for the mods.

maybe this applies to you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.good.android.gfe
what it boils down to.... latest version of app, maybe ..
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
thinking you really want this app if youre willing to go through all these links.. however, once the framework is installed its alot easier on your device. and its updated first. once you connect, you can uninstall apps you dont need good luck..
This could be the solution...

Assuming you are not using any security for lock screen..
You can get shortcuts using Menu > Settings > Device > Lock Screen Then..
1* Make sure Multiple Widgets says ON..
2* Click Multiple Widgets (Not the button that says ON/OFF). Then Click Favorite Apps or Camera..
3* Select Favorite Apps.
Hope that helps.

That bar you are talking about is for the MULTI-WINDOW feature.
If you don't want or don't like it you can simply disable it,
Here is how, go to the phone's Settings>Display>Multi Window
Uncheck the box for the Multi Window and it will be disabled.
Good luck, have a great day!

Its probebly an app that you've installed.
Look through the apps that you've installed when that showed up.
Did you install any apps recently? recall the app you've installed recently and remove it?
Other way is to install and scan your phone with antivirus. Good luck
That is some kind of Push notification add-on that was installed by some application.
What I suggest is: Go to the Play Store and find an app called "Addons Detector".
Run it and let it scan the device. It will tell you what apps are using what add-ons.
Uninstall everything that uses Push Notification and Icon Ads.
Then if you want, you can uninstall Addons Detector or just keep using it every now and then (it's quite good and free!)

Samsung got rid of third party widgets and app shortcuts on the lock screen.

After the first week or so with lockscreen widgets on other phones, I found them useless. They were limited in information and functionality... and honestly, my muscle memory was to pickup my phone and unlock it. Then if they magnified to the full screen, the area to swipe to unlock got small... I just think for me, they were a waste. Once I am 2 or 3 swipes, or touches in, I can unlock it just as fast.
I hope someone figures out how to add them back. I have an ICE app that I need to have a lock screen widget for.
I always used the message g widget, always quicker than unlocking and going into the messaging app, I also used the app shortcut widget that u swipes to the right for, especially after getting spoiled using cover lockscreen, which I uninstalled due to too many bugs

Ice contact lock screen
You can add your ICE contact (phone number etc.) to lockscreen by writing it in to the "owner information" -field, which can be found under lockscreen settings. No need for ICE-app.

Recently installed OmniROM 4.4.4 which works great on Motorola Xoom however there is no REMOVE option for icons on the homescreen or UNINSTALL option for completing removing apps that I've downloaded. Whenever you longpress on an app to uninstall it, it makes a shortcut to the homescreen I've checked all the settings and cant find a solution, has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi guys,
I had been scouring the internet looking for how to setup the stock lock screen on the ZF2 because I hated those 3 bubbles for camera, phone and messaging on the front screen and had no success.
Turns out there is a simple box you have to uncheck to get the stock lock screen working
Go to Settings>Lock screen> and uncheck "Quick access"
I feel really dumb because its been bothering me for more than a month now but I hope this helps anyone else who has this issue!
You can also change the apps that get accessed by clicking on "Quick access" instead of clicking the "on/off" switch.
so is it necessary to make a thread about this easy setting?

Freezing the ASUS weather app makes it even more like stock too. Shame you can't center the clock on the slide lockscreen.
With weather app frozen:
Edit: Actually, after rebooting this removes the clock from the lockscreen completely.
you can also delete "lockscreen" from /system/app. This will give you the real aosp lock screen

I tried to delete it but get "permission denied". If I freeze the ASUS lockscreen system app, I still get the same lockscreen anyway.

Fitst of all you need to be rooted, secondly you need to use a file manager like root explorer or root browser to mount rw, but freezing will result in the same thing anyway

How does the AOSP lockscreen look? I did this on my old phone once, the lockscreen ended up not being worth it. (Buggy/frequent crashes when inputting PIN)

So I froze that, but my lockscreen didn't change, even after a reboot. I was hoping the lockscreen would be AOSP so that I can set 5 or 6 app shortcuts in there (via GravityBox). What am I doing wrong? Do I need to go into the file system and delete stuff?
With the ASUS lockscreen app frozen I get no change whatsoever in the appearance of the lockscreen (still has the off-centre ASUS Clock/Weather widget and swipe to unlock). With the weather app frozen I get a blank lockscreen with swipe to unlock.

How do you remove default lock screen? There's no none option only swipe.
EDIT: Never mind, just had to remove guest user.
Use this xposed module with any widget

The title says it all.
I've searched and have no information on how to get those off the lock screen.

There's no way currently as far as I know to change lock screen shotcuts with an unrooted stock OOS phone.

It allows you to pick your app, but I didn't see a "none" option.
Would anyone help this old man and tell how to remove the lock icon from the lock screen?
I was in settings and enabled it and now I can't find it to disable it.
It's under the Fingerprint
You can go to Security & Lock screen > Face unlock and then toggle the "Auto unlock once the screen is on" option.

There's an app called Ava Lockscreen that I use to remove those darn shortcuts & other nonsense. Not affiliated, just like the app.
