Good lockscreen replacement? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to change the stock lockscreen to something more appealing.
I use pin lock but want to have weather displayed, beeing able to use camera (preferably with the swipe gesture) and maybe also upcoming tasks.
Is there any lockscreen that supports this? (camera is optional if thats not possible with pin lock set)...
Problem is that with pin set you can no longer add widgets to make your own lockscreen, but I'm sure there are lockscreen replacements that can change this or?

[q] Gingerbread lockscreen

sorry if its been discussed before but I can't find it anywhere via search.
here goes, during sgs' time with eclair, I recalled having set a pattern lock and when i turn the screen on, it would require me to slide to unlock first then proceed to pattern (similar to iphone set up)
nowadays on stock gingerbread rom, it no longer shows the main slide to unlock screen, instead it jumps straight to pattern/pin unlock screen. Reason I brought this up is that I did prefer the previous setup to see date, time and charge % left (also setting up a lockscreen wallpaper only works in the slide to unlock screen only)
does anyone know how to return it back to normal?
thanks

I'm pretty sure that it shows all that /(time, battery, date) and you could change the lockscreen wallpaper by going to : Settings > Display > Wallpapers and then Lockscreen Wallpapers....
Are you running stock ROM/kernel no EDT tweaks etc?
On my Juwe ROM the only problem I could find was that the lockscreen was transparent, thus showing the wallpaper you have on the homescreen instead of the one you have chosen in the settings.

Thanks for the quick reply, this came about on jvk then jvp rom, no tweaks etc
What happens is if i select no password required it shows the default lockscreen.
The moment i set up a pin or pattern lock, the lockscreen doesnt appear anymore, itvjumps straight to enterin pin or pattern screen, im pretty sure this happens to everyone else on stock gingerbread...

[Q] Security Lock Application that I can enable/disable with a widget

Hi
Looking to achieve this:
1) No lockscreen on most situations
2) Secure lockscreen when I wish for it (and will enable it manually)
However, I do not want to go to settings and turn the secure lock screen on constantly, as it would be cumbersome. I want to do it in a nicer and cleaner way, namely a widget (well superb solution would be by a toggle button in notification panel, but I guess that's just a dream idea). So I would have a widget on a homescreen that would enable/disable this secure lock screen.
I was looking for some widgets that would set current lockscreen on/off, but after 4.1 or 4.2 it is (seems) impossible if we talk about galaxy s4. So instead I would set no lock screen (with stock settings), and then just enable/disable an external application that would mimick the secure lockscreen itself.
Do any of you know of any app, that has this abbility (most welcome is a widget, but if no app like that, it can as last resort be, a on/off toggle button upon launching the app).

[Q] Why can some apps work around corporate pin lock and some can't?

For instance, I have BeyondPod installed for podcast playback and it has a fullscreen lock screen control set even though I have to use a pin lock for corporate email access. This is confusing to me because the biggest change going from my iPhone 5 to my new Note 3 is not having access to the camera, toggles, widgets, or notification from the lock screen when a pin in enabled.
I know this is not a bug or anything but I would love to be able to have widgets and toggles on my lock screen when the pin is enabled. I don't see why that's not possible if BeyondPod does it so well.

Request, how to remove the "next alarm" info from the stock samsung lockscreen

Request, how to remove the "next alarm" info from the stock samsung lockscreen
Why?
This is my current setup, widgetlocker for custom sliders with stock pattern lock enabled. I want the pattern lockscreen to be empty of everything (for aesthetic purposes) except for the pattern input area. I use wanam to remove the charging, emergency calls, and carrier info, I also enabled the stock personal message widget and entered a blank space, then unchecked the time and date. That leaves me with the alarm clock info sticking out like a sore thumb.
I know that I can just use "multiple widgets xposed module" to have custom widgets on a secure lockscreen, but for some reason that setup does not wotk with tasker disabling the pattern lock when I'm at home.
I can also just use a 3rd party alarm app, but I like setting alarms through svoice, and it automatically sets the alarms in the stock clock app.
So any help please?

Replace stock lockscreen

Hi everyone,
As you probably know, the Huawei lockscreen is really bad and outdated as notifications are not even "usable" like others lockscreen.
So i wanted to replace it by Next Lockscreen and everything worked well, except with the fingerprint scanner.
When i enable fingerprint, i can't disable the stock lockscreen anymore (sadly) so i have to unlock twice if i use the pin code and that's really annoying.
Do you have any tips to counter this effect ?
thanks all
