Does any Rom have properly working lockscreen?

If you set a security pattern, then the custom rom's show that, instead of showing the lockscreen with data, and show the pattern only when you slide to unlock. That's how Sense does it.
Without that, what's the point of the lockscreen? You have to turn off security to make it useful.
Or does any Rom do it right?

The point of a lockscreen is exactly that. To lock the screen. If you set a pattern lock that becomes the lockscreen. Having to slide to unlock and then pattern unlock is redundant.

cm7
In cm7 you can adjust 2 layers of lockscreen settings... for example my Evo is a blank screen when locked.. you can draw on it any way you want but unless you draw the correct shape it does nothing... but that still doesn't unlock it.. I have it set so the gestures only turn on flashlight and sound.. etc... to actually unlock you have to press menu and then your greeted with a full keypad not just numbers...

[Q] Lock Screen Widgets with Security Lock

Hi Guys
Apologies if this has been asked before but the search feature doesn't seem to be working.
Got my S4 a few days ago and loving it, but there is one thing that has been annoying me.
If i set up any sort of security lock on the lock screen I am unable to add widgets. It only seems to work when you have swipe set as your unlock option. I was able to add widgets just fine on my S2 running jellybean with a pattern lock.
Does anyone know a way around this? On the S2 jellybean you had an option to show the normal swipe lock screen before the security lock screen. Hopefully this will be something they will add in a coming update because it really was a great option.
Would like to know if this is happening for other people, if anyone has got around it or if any one has any alternatives that I could try

Its done as a security feature. Its not very secure having a PIN to unlock your device yet have widgets for email, Twitter etc accessible from the lock screen.
I'd like to be able to access the camera from the lock screen too, but unfortunately no luck.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh yes.........but we are on Android, not Apple, where the consumer would like to make this choice!

What you're saying is not true. On vanilla jellybean on the nexus 7, you choose the widgets that you want accessible from the lock screen. Even with security on.

Hi,
Open the messaging app.
Go to settings,notification settings,and untick preview message.

It's nothing to do with that, the lockscreen displays a big ugly grey bar stating you've got a new message or a missed call whenever you get one. It looks crap and I want to disable it too. I started my own thread a few weeks ago but got no response apart from replies like above which aren't the answer. Another one told me to turn notifications off, but although that stops the grey block on the lockscreen, it stops absolutely any notification of new messages, etc so isn't ideal really. There'll be a way to disable it with root access, but you could always install a different lockscreen to prevent it if you wanted.

Nothing under System Settings -> My device -> Lock screen?
- Multiple widgets
- Lock screen widgets
Also while on the lock screen, you can drag down and edit the widgets, try doing that while the notification thing is up?

Doesn't work unfortunately, it just overrides whatever widget you have on the lockscreen.

Does anyone know, short of using a different lockscreen?

Swipe the clock widget to the right, then swipe back to the clock/unlock screen. Then you will be able to long-press on the clock and remove it. Then you'll see 'tap to add widgets' and you can choose the calendar.

Yeah, Ive tried that, It just does this lol.

Try it without Knock Code (with swipe).

Yip, Tried that ... Same thing ..
Trying to work out what the arrow at the bottom is for, it dont see to do anything.
I never even used to have the knock knock cope option, I updated my phone via the support tool, I have the knock know code but cant change the lock screen widget. I mean even when im on the lock screen i used to be able to swipe right to start the camera and now i cant even do that.
I'm thinking something has been changed in the update, Can anybody on the same build as me confirm they can still swipe from the lock screen to start the camera app and change lock screen widgets? ... Its definitely different than before.

Try using swipe lock screen and lock your device. Then wake the device. Swipe down on the clock. Then press and hold the widget. You should then have the ability to remove it. If you have no other lock screen widget, you will end up with a huge + giving you the option to add another widget. If this doesn't work (it should), reboot and try again.

It wont budge, Before if i had a pin code at the lock screen set i could just swipe the pin code area down, It then ask me for my pin, I could then long press the clock and a option to "remove" would be at the top of my screen, When the widget area was blank i would see a large + sigh, I could tap this and be given a number of widgets i could put there!
The clock just wont budge now no matter what i try!

Same Deal Here
Ever since the update, it seems I can't remove the default clock widget either. Swiping down does bring up the arrow (just as it used to) but it won't stay on long enough to long press the clock (as soon as you take your finger off it goes back to normal). I'm going to do some experimenting with WidgetLocker, see if I can't get it back to where I want it (obviously figuring this out would be ideal, but I'm starting to wonder if it's possible anymore. I've seen articles about enabling widgets, but haven't found what they're telling me to look for).
Edit: Got it figured out. It turns out I had somehow turned off the lockscreen widgets & disabled the feature through Secure Settings.

Don't know if you've been back to this thread but changing Secure Settings settings worked for me.

Any program to lock screen, then use fingerprint sensor to unlock?

I use my tablet a lot through the day so I need to lock/unlock it many times per day so I'm started searching for a program that can unlock my device immediately (without using the power button) and I found plenty that can do that but with all of them, I found out that when I use my fingerprint to unlock, I'm prompted to enter my PIN, which defeats the purpose of having the convenience of a fingerprint scanner!!
Is there any program that can really unlock by 1 tap on it, then unlock my device normally with fingerprint?
Another question: Do you guys have notification badges for Facebook & Pages Manager? I'm running the official Nougat OS (Build 351), US Version (Wifi only). I'm surprised because I've noticed these badge numbers on FB on Huawei phones in Youtube but I don't see these badges at all on my tablet even though the badge notification setting is turned ON!

Depending on the ROM there should be a display lock widget (1x1) available (in german it is called "Display-Sperre", don´t know the other names for this widget on other ROM languages). When I touch the widget it locks the screen and I can unlock via fingerprint without PIN entry.

Which ROM are you talking about? I'm using the default ROM which is nougat. I tried searching for display look widget on the Play store but I couldn't find it .

The Nougat ROM with EMUI5 itselfs has the widget already preinstalled, so no need for an additional installation. I think on older ROMs with EMUI4 this widget is not available. The widget is blue colored with a white lock icon on it.
