Hullo all!
Many of us don't have shortcuts on the lockscreen, not even with security set to swipe or off. For some reason, Samsung removed this from most EU and AU firmware. Annoying, because they were very convenient.
I've found a workaround that doesn't require Root or a custom lockscreen. :victory: As it turns out, they only removed the menu setting, not the option itself.
What you'll need:
- Custom Launcher like Apex or Nova. (You can uninstall it again later if you prefer Touchwiz.)
- Security set to SWIPE. For security reasons, it simply doesn't show up otherwise. That's a feature, not a bug.
What to do:
I did this on Apex, but I imagine the others work much the same:
hit the Optionkey when you're at the Homescreen.
Add
Shortcuts
Activities
Settings
Shortcuts (.lockscreenshortcut.locscreenshortcutsettings)
Open the newly made shortcut
Toggle the 0 to 1.
Change the apps the same way as always, by dragging them to the bin below and hitting + for adding new ones.
There you go, they're back.

Hello just wondering if it was possible to disable the lock screen notification alert. I'd like to use the stock notification widget but its overridden by the lock screen widget.
Thanks in advance! :thumbup:

If you're rooted hit up your root file browser, go to system> app> delete anything that says widget. I've tried all the lock screen controls and it does nothing to remove them.
[Edit]: Just be aware when you use this method the clock and the user info may also go bye bye.
You can also disable the native lock screen and install a third party with no frills.

Thanks for your reply. When removing the apk you mentioned it also removed the widget I wanted to use instead.

Has anybody got lockscreen fully working? I'm using wanam mod to enable rotation. but sometimes when it rotates back to portrait, phone crashes and reboots. Also in landscape mode the screen only shows half of the wallpaper, the right half of the screen is black. I remember there was a fix for this problem back in note 1/note 2 days, but I just can't find it anymore. Any suggestion?

Alright, I solved the problem by installing gravitybox and set lockscreen wallpaper from there. and yes, before anyone asks, gravity box works for note 3.

I did a few things before everything worked.
1. Disable unlock effects in system settings.
2. Set wallpaper for both home and lock screen using system settings.
3. Disable any mod that allows multiple widgets on lockscreen and use the option in system settings only.
Try these first and see whether they work for you.

I had a module causing conflict. I disabled "samsung multiple widgets" module and everything was working fine.
Anybody know where to setup lock screen shortcuts? I'm coming from an S3 and had the ability to set four or five app shortcuts on the lock screen with the stock laucher/lock screen. Is the feature gone?

Lock screen shortcuts, quick glance and half the TW camera modes were the three things I was pretty disappointed with coming from the S4...luckily if we ever find root, these are all things we can port over from the Note 3 and GS4

Samsung has pulled back in some of its customizations, including the ability to set as many shortcuts on the lock screen -- such as shortcuts to the browser, dialer, and messaging inbox. This was a convenient feature though.
Hey as i said earlier try c locker its a good locker app fir shortcut setting...

While on the topic of lockscreen, is there a way to extend the timeout on the lock screen? mine is way to short.
I installed the Galaxy Locker from the play store... Free and does an awesome job replicating the s4 lock screen... Complete with shortcuts, custom wallpaper, notifications, etc.

Good to hear that bro. thank you.
Do you guys experience this? Using android 10 full screen gestures. After I close an app and immediately try to open another app or do a swipe or any other action while the animation is still ongoing it requires another tap because the first tap is not registered.
With on screen navigation buttons everything is instant even while the exit animation is ongoing.
Nope. With beta sw there were issues, but with official everything just works. You can tap another app open when closing animation still running
Maybe I have to reset..sometimes it works...sometimes I have a delay. Everything else is perfect
Yeah i have that bug too... Delay about 5 seconds.

Lots of app have this bug... fking samsung
Tried Microsoft Launcher, same as Nova. Delays.

I will use classic button navigation until they will fix. What other bug I have found. When using gesture navigation. If I open an app from a folder, after you exit it the animation makes the app go back to folder. But when using button navigation the animation just fades out. Only happens to apps from folders.
Great response.

I have the S10 and since the Android 10 update the full screen navigation is killing me. With 9 everything worked perfectly. Note I use 3rd party launcher with fullscreen gestures and no hints. When I open anything that's full screen like YouTube, reading apps, it requires me to swipe back twice or home twice. It's madness.
