[Q] Looking for the way to have a completely transparent lock screen with nothing on

I'm on rooted i9500 at the moment, stock android 4.2.2
Looking for a way to completely remove anything on the lock screen (make it transparent), aside the top status bar.
Lock screen can be in 2 modes at the moment. The first one, is with only once widget, and the other is with multiple widgets. And it would be perfectly fine with the single widget lockscreen, if only when I remove the clock widget (or "life partner") widget it didn't come back the next time the screen is locked.
I found a way to make it "kinda" work with multiple widgets, and the blank lockscreen widget:

It's ALMOST perfect, as it still has this f**** annoying plus sign on the side, and the top of the lock screen has this animation effect when I slide it. If I removed those 2 things, my lock screen would be perfect for me as I envisioned it in my head.
Any help (again, just a reminder, I am rooted, also have xposed framwework installed).

Note family Newb questions

Hey hey...
so I am new to the NOTE family.. but i've had an S3 and N4..but recently came from a BB10 device... i have some questions about using the NOTE 3
1) if i load up another launcher like Nova/Apex etc etc will i lose the aircommand functions and other Samsung features like multiwindow etc?
2) is it possible to change the clock widget on the lock screen to show a different clock? i know when u tap it, it shows u ur widgets on the lock screen but i want to be able to use another clock ..
3) anyone notice that when u wake up the device using the home button or power button it takes a second or two to wake up? i don't remember my other android devices to be the same.. it was pretty instant
4) anyone also notice the scrolling on the Note 3 to be choppy at times? again i didn't notice this on my S3 and N4

Lock screen widgets for the s5?

Hi, so try as I may, I can't find a way to add widgets to the S5 lock screen. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue or if i'm just incompetent?
I'm a little new to android but is this something that might change over time? or is the inability to add widgets to the lock screen something that will never be added? I really valued that element of my old phone and I hate how I can't do that with the galaxy s5.

[Q] Issues with widgets on my s5 screens

Hi --
I've been mostly loving my Galaxy s5. But occasionally, I have a problem with widgets. They either disappear, or suddenly say "unable to load widget". Any ideas why & what I can do about that?
Thanks!

[Q] Did samsung purposefully make the timer/clock app worse?

Hi all, I'm on the at&t version of the note 4 and am on stock obviously because of the lack of root yet. On the note 4 every time I set an alarm it sets it up so it repeats weekly which gets annoying and also the timer app doesn't allow more than one timer at a time. I was on cyanogen mod on the galaxy s3 and it performed these tasks flawlessly. It feels like its dumbed down and all the clock/alarm/timer apps I looked up did not help much either(wanted access to all my data, pay to use more than one timer, alarm clock extreme ended up draining my battery more than anything else on my phone). Any suggestions anyone?
On a side note, I'm using nova launcher and because of that it doesn't allow calender widgets that shows your events its just a crappy calender with the date on it. Any suggestions for this either?
Thanks guys sorry If I come off mad. These have just been bugging me.

well get rid of nova launcher and use samsungs s-planner for timer, alarm and calendar.
