Has anyone else noticed so basically im playing around with my phone as we speak but I have noticed that you cant really use lockscreen widgets when you have a pattern lock on the phone. I just find this weird because I am able to do this on stock 4.2. I also noticed that dashclock widget wont pick up my text messages and i cant set it as my default lockscreen widget and i also cant make the default lockscreen text notfication go away.
Guess im the only one who noticed this lol
I got dash clock set as my primary lock screen widget. It took a little fiddling.

May I ask how you did this? and also are you able to use it while having a pattern lock?
I will have to try the pattern lock. When I first got dashclock active it was on another lockscreen so I just dragged it over to the main one.
I am trying to figure out how to set the notifications to be expanded as default instead of having to swipe them down.

I see. And are you able to disable text notifictions on the lockscreen? I am thinking that text arent popping up with dashclock because there is already a separate widget on the lockscreen that is displaying it.
Does not work with pin lock or pattern lock. I suspect pattern doesn't work because it uses the pin method as a fallback. I did get it to popup an informational message one time that said something like can't edit screen in this security mode.

I haven't found a way to disable text notifications, but I did notice they pop up on a secondary lock screen and if I swipe back to the left(which is my home lock screen) dashclock is there.

Ya I noticed that also. Do text appear in the dashclock widget also ? I have that option enabled but for some reason it wont show. Still sucks that you cant have dashclock in use while having a pattern lock but oh well nothing you can do about it.
According to the developer this is an android limitation...but I did see someone mention an AOKP rom had an option to override this.

My wife had this same complaint on her Note 2. One solution that works really well is to set a pin or pattern lock, then use WidgetLocker as the lockscreen.
hey all!
i´ve a question about the touchwiz lockscreen on the Note 3.
Normally the lockscreens are small. (you need to pull it down to see more like dashclock notifications)
is there a solution to have the lockscreen widgets always extended (or. big) ?
Thank you !!!!!!!!!!
Bump
leave a 'thanks' if i helped

I'm trying to find a way too but there seems to be no way to leave it in extended form.
If you are rooted, Google xposed installer. Install Xposed Installer, Open the app, tap on framework and tap install. Then go back to the main menu and tap on download and search for: maximize lockscreen widgets. Install and activate the module, then reboot.

Lately when I go to unlock the screen from the lock screen, I'll accidentally swipe from the left of the screen and it will take me to a widget page, where I'll have to swipe back to middle, up to default lock screen, and then try swiping to unlock again. Is there any way to disable this annoying lock-screen widget thing?
Plus one
Maybe someone can get this working in a xposed module

You could disable the lock screen altogether. When you double tap it would take you directly to your home screen.
I like the LG lock screen ...but I have no need for lockscreen widgets

Any progress on dealing with this problem?
Still no answer?
You can try lock screen policy app from the app store and that disables widgets on lock screen ... I think it should work with LG lock screen
I like to have a very clean looking lockscreen, and would like to get rid of this. Any ideas? I haven't found any xposed modules with this option, and hope I may have just missed the right one.

A way would be to add a completely transparent widget which do nothing. . I don't know if exist. Perhaps a transparent clock in which you can set clock to transparent so you see nothing. . I think i had one but dont remember it now..

Just did it myself I had zooper widget installed. So i chose to create. A new widget, choose empty , set full transparent, and set do nothing. 1 minute job.. It does the work. No xposed plugin there is for this for now.
Thanks, I will try that.

So, I was looking for a while how to remove the wallpaper on the lockscreen to match the one I have on my homescreen automatically. Some apps that apply wallpaper don't give you the option to select to change the lock screen, and the only way is to go through the touchwiz system wallpaper chooser, and it will prompt. Otherwise, I might have found a solution??
The trick is very simple, head over to the galaxy store and install good lock, then from the good lock settings uninstall it, and it will remove the lock screen wallpaper and it will match your homescreen if you change your wallpaper a lot. I also found if you changed the theme, you'd have to re-do the process over again. Make sure to select your favorite theme first before you do this.
Did anyone find a simpler solution? Please share if you have one!

Interesting... I was trying to figure this out to use with Muzei. I'm wondering why note 7 doesn't have the ability to choose lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper the way older galaxy's did.
Anyway will try this and report back
Um, all you have to do is go into your gallery, choose pic, choose set as wallpaper, and then select lockscreen..

Yeah but that only selects the wallpaper, it doesn't do anything else. It doesn't match. The objective is to match the same screen. I'll try with live wallpapers and repot

I can finally set my Muzei homescreen to match my lockscreen.
I wonder why Samsung took this simple feature away

You can only choose wallpapers from your gallery but no third party option for wallpaper apps like Muzei or other live wallpapers

Awesome, glad to hear it worked for you. For a while, it was bugging me. Here is a funny thing. As I am using the phone now like that, sometimes after unlocking the phone, I see flashes of what appears to be stockish android before the tw launcher comes, barely noticeable and very interesting.

You're missing the point of Muzei... It's about having it automatically cycle.

Ohmigah.. stop I can only get so erect.
On a serious note, that is very interesting... A Galaxy device with stock Android UI plus unique Samsung features would be a Android fan's dream.
When I uninstall good lock my lock screen just reverts to the default wallpaper. Am I doing something wrong?
Nice find, OP! Made my day!

What I did was took a picture of the wall with my phone flat up against it in low-light with my screen darkened. Then I edit picture in gallery (darkness down, contrast down). I did that twice then saved it as a perfectly black picture then I set my wallpaper (home screen and lock screen), using TouchWiz.
Thanks for the tip. Now my live wallpaper is also now on my lock screen.

Good find,
Thanks!
Why doesn't this work for me?! I want my magic fluids lock screen!!!!!
Works great, thank you. Nice to have again live wallpaper on lock screen.
Currently "good lock" app is not available on Galaxy store, but it is available here:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...lease/good-lock-24-0-12-android-apk-download/
Don't try other apps with the same name from Google play because it will not work.
There is also a way to do it. Download and set a live wallpaper as background on both desktop+lockscreen. Then unistall the lwp. There, both desktop+lockscreen should have a blank (black) background. Then when using an app like QuickPic that doesn't give an option to set wallpapers in both desktop+lockscreen, becouse all are blank, setting only desktop wall then lockscreen will also have the same (because it is transparent now)
Maybe some developer could make an app that removes the background wall from both desktop+lockscreen, that way it whould be much easier to do it.
