4.4 Lock screen with live wallpaper - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got the 4.4 update via my S4, and now whenever i set a live wallpaper for both home and lock screen, the lock screen becomes the same it was on the s2 with the same lock sound and the lock icon thing when you swipe the screen (no light effect or sound). Is this a bug or is it the way it's supposed to be for kitkat?
It only happens when i set a live wallpaper for the lock screen, when i set a normal wallpaper the lock screen remains the way it should be with the light effect and sound.
Could i please get some help, some sort of answer please, i'd really appreciate it :crying:

I have I9500 n I get the light/ripple effect for lockscreen with sound. I guess they ll include it in stable updates. Try using the one of the default wallpapers and then the ripple/light effects. It might work. All the best.

[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] How do I get Clock with Weather on S4 Lock Screen?

I am trying to get the clock and the weather widget to show up on my lock screen - my old NOTE2 had the option in Lockscreen settings to show weather on Lock screen but I cant find that option here.
I was able to add a weather widget to the lock screen - but when you first open the lock screen all you see is the clock - then, if I swipe down on the screen - it opens the weather ap - see my screen shots attached.
The first is what you see when you first get to the lock screen
the second is what you see when youi swipe down.
I am wanting to get the look of the second screen shot - when you first see the lock screen -
any suggestions?
S4 Weather
I couldn't find a way to do it either, so I downloaded this little app and it's kind of cool.

You can add several other notifications to it as well.
I use beautiful widgets on all my devices, lets me set weather, clock, battery, and all completely customizable. One of the few apps I ever paid for.

Can you set it up with pattern security? The images on the Play store shows that you can but I haven't been able to do so. Every time I set up the widget and set the pattern security, it reverts back to the standard default clock.
Well I did once, but it has now reverted to the regular lock screen. Looks like maybe a bug - The other notification extensions I picked are taking up the whole screen. When I first installed it moved everything small up next to the clock when I had the pattern visible on the lock screen. I'm not sure how to make the widget smaller as of yet. Other users have reported the same problem, so maybe there will be a future fix.

You get the bubble effect when touching the lock screen only if you don't have any security on the lock screen. So if you use Finger Scanner, or Pattern or Pin etc on the lock screen, then the bubble effect is switched off.
Go test it out, try setting "Swipe" to unlock, bubble effect will return.
ok will try this option thankyou for the tip sir.

Lock screen in landscape?

Hi all
I'm currently running ofw with nova prime and can view everything in landscape apart from the lock screen.
How can I rotate the lock screen so it'll also show it in landscape mode as well as portrait?
Try this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ui.robot.rotate&hl=en_GB
Cheers for that it works but I have another problem now.
I have 'pattern' as my security but the lock screen now only shows 6 of the nine dots.
Anyway to reduce the pattern size to fit in landscape
Nothing that I know of, maybe by editing system files, but I don't know
Maybe switch to a different security for now, make a thread asking that question, a dev may know the answer

[help] my lock screen wallpaper won't stop moving? Please help me if you can.

So I factory reset my phone to improve it. I have a few issues going on but the biggest is that my lock screen moves outwards whenever I am on the lock screen. I have tried to disable wallpaper motion but I do not even have that option in wallpaper settings. I uninstalled Live Wallpaper with Kingroot but that did not help me at all. I have already unrooted my phone so any non-root fixes I would highly appreciate. I just want the wallpaper to stop moving! Thank you so much in advance for any help!
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime running on Android 5.1.1.

It's kind of hard to explain. Like when I am on my phones lock screen it is like my wallpaper is zoomed in, and then it will move (like zoom out) to the normal size I set it as. This does not happen on my home screen, just the lock screen.
