Lock screen replacement - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a lock screen (app or mod) and i'm looking for 2 features: i have to be able to unlock the screen by swiping wherever i want (like on stock g2), and it has to show notifications and let me open them. Any suggestion?

Go to playstore and search for "widget locker". It's a paid app and requires root access...

Hide softkeys and replace with swipe actions

So I thought about hiding the softkeys on my phone and replace them with sliding/swipe actions. So if you swipe from the button of your screen into it, there is the ring you see in lockscreen or when swiping from the softkeys up. From there you are able to select the default keys. Right top->multitasking, left top->back, middle top->home... If we use those swipe options, we have some more space to use on our phone and the 4.7 screen can fully be uses

Use search next time
Try using paranoid android or any rom with PIE feature. So you dont need navbar anymore.

[REQUEST] launch notifications in spen window

Hi guys, the title says it all, it would be very cool if there was the possibility to launch notifications in spen windows (or also launch apps from recents in spen window) by long pressing it.
Is there already something like this (maybe an xposed module)?
Or is someone able/willing to do something like this?

Google Now -> standard launcher request?

Hi, whenever I launch Google Now, I get the request to choose my standard launcher when leaving the app. Android doesn't remember the setting. Anything I can do about that?

How to add widget on pin locked screens

Im making an emergency app for androids, the app is going to be accessible from any pin locked phone, so only this app is accessible without entering the pin, and not the rest of the phone.
Whats the best way to place it in the best visible way on the lockscreen for easy access?
I have an animated widget i would like to use for this, is that possible, or, what are the limitations/possibilities here?
For a similar app/function reference, see this:

Thanks
I would even go as far as to say you should make your own lockscreen replacement. Then you can decide on your own whether users can access your app without pin or not

Yea, know of any good examples on that?
Hm you can take any locker as an example, go locker, slide locker, etc. You dont even have to make an appwidget as you can just place the views fixed inside your lock screen layout

But how about if i want to use the widget i have, are there any possibilities to place that on the main lockscreen?
I know it works if i add a new lockscreen, but then i cant add more widgets there like, clock, weather and stuff, only one for each new screen?
What do you mean by that? "you can just place the views fixed inside your lock screen layout "

by "you can just place the views fixed inside your lock screen layout "
he means that instead of an appwidget you can directly place you Views ie layouts there in your CustomLockscreen
Hint : Try broadcast receivers listening to intent SCREEN_OFF and SCREEN_ON

Or you let the user decide about the widget: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572592

Your widget is eg made of one TextView inside some kind of layout, may it be a linear layout or sth. So then instead of putting those elements into the MyOwnLockscreenWidgetLayout.xml, you arrange them in your main MyLockscreenReplacementLayout.xml
See what i mean?
Now about using other widgets of other apps in your lockscreen replacement: you can do this
Take widget locker by teslacoil as an example. I think implementing that is a bit more complicated, but there is a guide inside the android dev docs. Your app has to act as a so called AppWidgetHost and answer to some specific broadcasts. That as much as i know about the topic. Just have a look at the docs
Ah edit: ive just seen that @nikwen posted the link to a guide about that. Have a look at it!

2 special questions

Good evening guys, after digging through androids and trebuchets code for More than a day, I need your help:
1.) I need to know the method which is responsible for the creation of the choose action/complete action with dialog. Or to be exact: the method which checks whether there is a default action set and doesnt create a dialog.
2.) How do launchers likr Trebuchet, Nova and so on get their icons? I know about the ActivityInfo.loadIcon(pm) method, and i know no other way(except losding the logo which isnt the case) to get a logo. The thing is that i need to modify this method(the method providing the icon). It has to be the loadIcon() thing OR there is some method interrupting the call in the launcher. I studied the trebuchet source because its open source and i thought that the icons may be loaded differently due to the ability to load icon packs, but this isnt the case either.
