I rooted my phone and then restored apps and data (call logs, MMS, SMS) using titanium backup but I just realized that I lost the old tv effect when screen goes off. It was there before restoring apps and data. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how do I get the effect back?
Thanks
Do you have the app" spare parts" installed. One of the settings in spare parts disables it.

Yup, changing the window animations away from normal will have it be nullified.

As the title says, I want to remove the message preview widget on the lockscreen. If i turn ON the message preview (under Messages->Settings->Preview message) i get the message widget showing the sender and the message text, if i turn the preview off i still get the message widget but this time it just shows the sender as "Messaging" and the message text as "New message".
I have attached 2 screenshots showing both screens.
I have tried with the "Multiple widgets" option turned on and off with the same result.
However if i completely turn message notifications off (Messages->Settings->Notifications), it goes away, but then i dont get any notifications of messages.
Is there any way to just turn off that lockscreen widget but still have the normal notifications like the S2 and S3?
Thanks in advance
Bump !!
I desperately want to know the answer to this. What's the point of lock screen widgets like dashclock etc if the horrible TW notifications take priority and appear over the top !
Anyone found the answer to this ?
Bump this is a rather stupid feature. I want to be able to read my preview n notifications without it going on lockscreen

In the messaging app if you go to settings and scroll down, just untick "preview message"? You won't get previews on lockscreen or status bar BUT you should still get normal notifications in status bar.

As i said if i untick that option, it just displays generic text on the lockscreen widget, as shown in my screenshot. I don't want the lockscreen widget to be displayed at all, but still keep normal notifications for messages.
This is a lockscreen widget created by Samsung.
You can press and hold you finger on it and put it on the trash.

I tried that also, it doesnt work. It only works for lockscreen widgets you added manually, like music player etc.
I see missed calls also appear in the annoying widget, and its location is to the right of the main lockscreen, all manually added lockscreens are to the left of the main lockscreen.
Bump! I would also like to know the answer to this question!

Unfortunately I don't think you can remove it. I also dont like it, why cant I just click on the notification to launch the messaging app? Why display that stupid empty box?
I think i've exhausted all options to get rid of it, our only hope is that Samsung allows us the option to disable it on their next firmware.
Use a different lock screen.......

Bump. Would love to know how to disable the damn thing.
I've set up Dash Clock to replace the stock lockscreen widget, but every time I get a message or a missed call it reverts back to the ugly default Samsung widget.
I suspect that an update will fix it. It looks as if it was unfinished.

Sorry to bump this but I was searching for this issue...well, the music app displaying on the lock screen issue to be exact.
Even when I end the app through the task manager and the clearing of ram memory it will still show up for a good 5 or 10 minutes on my lock screen, sometimes sporadically. It's annoying and incredibly ugly (to me). I've reset my phone twice thinking maybe there was an issue I caused for it to still show up even when not in use.
Hopefully Samsung allows us to keep the music player from showing on the lock screen. And yes, I know I can use a 3rd party app but I prefer the stock, other than this issue.
LOCKSCREEN POLICY! that's the solution! I've been searching for ages!

Bump.
Would also really like to know the answer to this. I've got Dash Clock set up to do everything, but the ugly TW widget keeps taking over, seems kind of pointless.
I found an apk in the /system/app/ directory called NotificationWidget.apk which seemed promising, but after deleting it the TW widget is still there. Surely they wouldn't have baked it right into the framework?
I'm trying to set my lock screen wallpaper and when I try images from the gallery it won't set. It says saving but doesn't actually do anything. Seems like it only wants to use the stock wallpapers and even that sometimes didn't want to work. Anyone have this issue?
I can confirm this bug, it's driving me crazy.. Yesterday it workt just fine, last night turned my g2 off and in the charger.
And this morning i powerd it on again wanted to change my lockscreen wallpaper but it doesn't stick cant get it to work in anyway tried everything....

instead of trying to set the wallpaper through lockscreen setting go directly to the image you want and set it through there. probably will not work but it did once for me.

Wish I knew about this last night. Couldn't figure out how to fix it and ended up doing a factory reset. ?
Go to app. List in settings - All apps - search for Lockscreen - wipe cache, data and stop the app service...
Change the lockscreen wallpaper once again...
Worked for me..!!! ;-D

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?
you can easily find all tips and tricks about zenfone 2 on YouTube, you can find many videos named "things you need to know after buying asus zenfone 2"., you can find many useful tips and tricks in this forum as well...
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

I'm trying to freeze it, but I can't find it in Titanium Backup. Is there another app I can use to freeze it, or is it called something weird?

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.
i tried different lockscreens from playstore.for me hi locker is the best
Use hi locker its far better lockscreen than native lollipop or zen ui 's

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

It seems for some reason I don't get the motion effect option toggle anymore when I set up a static wallpaper.
When I first set up the phone, the option was there. Then after a few hours I tried another wallpaper and now the option is permanently gone. No restarts, clearing theme cache or resetting settings manage to bring back the option toggle. Not even using the same picture.
Anybody else experiencing this?

You're a friggin genius!!! Thank you. That was bugging me to no end.
Thanks, I was wondering where the option had gone! It must have been cleared when I tried the Pixel launcher.
I had the same issue today, where I couldn't understand why the motion effect was gone. Then I remembered it had something to do when I installed Nova Launcher. I tried the launcher but I didn't quite like it so I deleted it. I went to settings and checked if touchwiz was checked on and it was not. Always Make sure touchwiz is your default home screen. Simple little thing that can really make you go nuts. It's working great now.
Perfect Solution

Motion Effect Issue
Hi everyone,
I called Samsung technical support and they told me within 2 mins now to fix the Wallpaper Motion Effect Issue.
These are the steps to follow..
1- Settings
2- Apps
3- The top right hand corner has a tab with 3 dots, hit that and go to "Default Apps.
4- Go to "Home Screen
5- Final step is, after going to "Home Screen" make sure "Touchwiz Home" is selected. If it's not Select it and that will fix the "motion effect" issue.
??
Hope that helps.
