There's a Xposed module called Unlock Effect Before Lockscreen or something close.
Google that.
I hope you have root access and Xposed. If not, ask me.

MOD REQUEST: Enable multiple lockscreen widgets with security (pin, pattern, etc) on

Searched and couldn't find anything on it!

I second this plzz
Me too.
Actually, I'd even suggest asking Samsung to add this in the next release (I did). If there is enough customer request, who knows, maybe they will.
yea me too!
Explain to me what this request is exactly.
On the S4 when you set up a PIN, Pattern or Face Unlock you cannot put widgets on the lockscreen. You can only do that if you have swipe to unlock which has no security. So this is a request to have a mod made to have that option available during the medium to high security options

[Q] How Does the S View Cover Interact With Widgetlocker?

I've read some reviews on the s view cover which say that once you flip it open it will bypass your lockscreen (if you don't have a passcode/gesture lock) and go straight to your homescreen.
Does the same thing happen if you have widgetlocker installed? I'd prefer it to go to my lockscreen when I open the case and don't want to shell out for one if that's not what happens.
Yes it will
But you can change this under the root section of widget locker

[SOLVED via Root] Secure Lock Screen with Widgets?

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...
It is possible to add widget when I have account exchange??

you can install widget locket app from google play.
If some application shown error in downloading then its not a issue. You can install alternate app bro

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.

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)

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.

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!

Is there a way to launch another camera app than the stock one with the gesture?

Basically, that. A xposed module, build prop?
Thanks!

Install whatever third party camera app you plan on using, then use the lockscreen camera shortcut. It should ask you what camera to open.
If it doesn't go into settings -> apps then open your default camera app. Find open by default, then clear default. After that try the lockscreen shortcut again. Now it should ask which camera to open.

Thanks, that's a way but I was asking by making the double twist gesture to open another one; do you know?

My mistake. Thought you were talking about lockscreen. Sorry I've turned off all the moto gestures.
Here you go, works great on MM. Doesn't bypass pattern (security) screen like stock camera though so if yo have one enabled still have to deal with that

Any Idea How To Remove Camera and Mic From Lock Screen

The title says it all.
I've searched and have no information on how to get those off the lock screen.
I'd like to know as well!
There's no way currently as far as I know to change lock screen shotcuts with an unrooted stock OOS phone.
SystemUI Tuner app by Zachary Wander from play store does the job. Just give the permissions with adb. No need to root the phone.

It allows you to pick your app, but I didn't see a "none" option.
Would anyone help this old man and tell how to remove the lock icon from the lock screen?
I was in settings and enabled it and now I can't find it to disable it.
It's under the Fingerprint
You can go to Security & Lock screen > Face unlock and then toggle the "Auto unlock once the screen is on" option.

There's an app called Ava Lockscreen that I use to remove those darn shortcuts & other nonsense. Not affiliated, just like the app.
