I am not a big fan of the stock swipe lock screen on the phone. Is there a way to disable it or replace it with something else other than the pattern lock thingy?
Mods: Not sure if this should be in themes, if so please move.
Thanks.
I think I heard about other users on the forum using a app named NoLock to get rid of the lock screen.
Any of the lockscreen apps on the Market should replace the stock one for you. Try LockBot, Widget Locker (real nice and customizable), Lock2.0 (think that's what it was).
I'm with the OP. I don't find the TW lock screen as useful or as good looking as the stock 2.1 / 2.2 lock screen. Is there a way we can port the stock android lock screen to the Vibrant? I've looked through the phone and I haven't found any files that blatantly say "hey, this is the lock screen" to me. Is this possible?
check this one out its got a clip so u know what its like before u buy it or "buy" its lol

Yep, WidgetLocker would be your best bet for a 2.1 look. I've used it and it actually is really nice and customizable.
This may be a dump question since the creation of live wallpapers but is it possible to have like maybe a screensaver instead of a lockscreen
Got my Note 3 today and began customizing the settings. When I select "Secure with PIN" it does not give me the option for "with swipe lock". I don't remember whether that option was a stock option or one that got added with my Beans Rom on my Note 2. Either way, I can't figure any way to setup a secure screen lock with pin AND have lock screen widgets!!! I had previously used Widget Locker, but it says it's not compatible with my Note 3. Any ideas?
i dont think that is a factory option
Well, I just did an APK+Data backup of Widget Locker on my Note II and restored it to my Note 3. Problem solved...for now. I was looking forward to getting 4.3 so I didn't have to keep using 3rd party lock screens, though. Oh, well....

I did this as well, but the pull down of notification bar sits "behind" the widget locker icons/widget, etc - sort of semi-transparent - making the pull down almost unusable..not an issue for you?

Almost self defeating isn't it? I love choices, but to have a lockscreen locked with PIN number, and bust still have access to Lockscreen widgets that show info? I can see why stock wouldn't do that.. But I can see more choices as well sir!

No, I didn't have that problem. However, I've since rooted my phone and used Xposed Framework with a couple of modules & Wanam Xposed to get it exactly like I wanted. They allow me to use the stock lock screen with multiple widgets and a PIN with quick PIN entry (no need to hit enter).
[SOLVED]
Root and install Xposed Framework with the following modules: "Maximize Widgets", "Samsung Multiple Widgets", "Enable Camera on Lockscreen" & "Wanam Xposed". In Wanam Xposed, under 'lockscreen', select "enable quick PIN unlock".
Check other settings as desired...but the above settings will give you a secure lock screen with access to the camera and several full screen widgets, as well as quick PIN unlock (no need to hit enter).
I would like to add, for some not superusers (like myself) After installing xposed installer and installing and activating "Maximize Widgets", "Samsung Multiple Widgets", "Enable Camera on Lockscreen" & "Wanam Xposed"...
Under Modules, Click Samsung Multiple Widgets >> Check "Force Camera Widget".
Enjoy
Hello
I have account exchange (pin on lock screen) and i have problem with Samsung Multi Widget....
On lock screen I can move left and I have camera but I can add new widget...when I deleted exchange account I can add new widgets...

Yes its possible. Just hold on selected widget and drag your selected widget on main screen or what ever the place you want then unhold it.
your widget has been set.

I just found this post and was able to get my ICE widget on my lockscreen, thanks!
However, I tried the "Force Camera Widget" but didn't care for it. I have unchecked and uninstalled "Maximize Widgets" and "Samsung Multiple Widgets" but I still have the camera widget on my lockscreen. Prior to enabling it I had a screen of shortcuts. I would prefer that but would settle for getting rid of the camera widget. I hope you or someone can help.
I'm trying to use the multiple widgets on secure lockscreen addon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363189), but not working for me on kit kat.

Sorry, no idea what that means.
Question: Do I need to uninstall my Exchange account to be able to get things working? The Wanams Exchange hack seems to do nothing. Maybe that's also because I didn't disable Knox? (doing that scares me)
enterprise permissions on exxchange account

no, youre good with knoxx.... go to your superuser app and clear all auto deny/ time limit.. disable enforce permission, trust system user. app should install and you can reset your settings
if the app still does not work, then its root causing an issue with permissions on the exchange side. , and will take a little work.. i believe what you do with your device is between you and your pocketbook... GNL and VZW should have no business using apps that detect root, other than more $$$$ ..... but hey, its just my opinion ... protect your root, and check files upload, and to verify the repo list can be found here:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposed
latest installer :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
wanam is the UI for the mods.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposed
tested on hotmail.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.shantz.exchangebypass
here's the link to file,again
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mohammadag.multiplewidgets
maybe this applies to you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.good.android.gfe
what it boils down to.... latest version of app, maybe ..
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
thinking you really want this app if youre willing to go through all these links.. however, once the framework is installed its alot easier on your device. and its updated first. once you connect, you can uninstall apps you dont need good luck..
This could be the solution...

Assuming you are not using any security for lock screen..
You can get shortcuts using Menu > Settings > Device > Lock Screen Then..
1* Make sure Multiple Widgets says ON..
2* Click Multiple Widgets (Not the button that says ON/OFF). Then Click Favorite Apps or Camera..
3* Select Favorite Apps.
Hope that helps.

Awesome, thank you so much! After turning off my lock screen security, I was able to follow your steps, turn lock screen security back on, and it's working!
Camera not accessible

After following everything directed by you, still I could not access camera from lock screen. I use PIN security on my device.
Swiping to right gives me access to add widgets. Cannot add widgets to the lock screen.
Please help me with this!

Sorry, I am on Android L rom now. But I don't remember if I did anything else other than I posted..
I am using Widgetlocker. I have a pin but can still hit a button on the lockscreen for instant camera access. Also - NO ROOT REQUIRED!
Does anyone have a way to re-enable lockscreen widgets? Even with no security, there's no way to add a widget to the lockscreen...and the Xposed module that used to work for adding widgets to secure Samsung lockscreens doesn't work (and has been abandoned).
I'm sure some ROMs have this feature enabled, but is there an easy way to just enable it without flashing? Thanks!!

It doesn't seem possible in the stock s5 lock screen as it looks like samsung nearly replaced it with there own made from scratch one. It is possible though to add a mod to reenable the aosp lock screen since the code is still there just not used. That is what is being added to the custom roms. It takes a lot of modding though and I don't think it will be possible to make a separate mod package.

HI Team,
Post Lollipop update on Indian N900, widgets (shortcut) icons are gone from the lock screen.
I tried doing deep diving in the setting but couldn't find one. Is there any way we can get the widgets on the lock screen.
If not all the widgets, even Phone / Whatsapp (any one widget) will do. Your help on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Naresh.
Ha ha, no, no way you can enable widgets on lockscreen, one of the very goodness of LP, wait till you find more.
Maybe third party lockscreen apps will support them, no idea.
I've been unable to find any lock screen apps that can override the TouchWiz lock screen. Such apps either state 'not compatible' in the App store or they simply don't work (e.g. the TouchWiz lock screen still takes precedence).
Without rooting the Tab A and flashing a custom ROM, has anyone found a way to replace the lock screen app?
Thanks,
M.
I'm using that : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=en
Make sure to go into Settings and switch the lockscreen to None when using another lockscreen app.
