Lockscreen similar for QQ Launcher's or similar

Is there a way some could extract the lockscreen from QQ Launcher or recommend a lockscreen that is very similar to it? I tried to get some off the market but those never override the system lockscreens. I was hoping for a apk or even a zip for one.

I dont know what that lock screen is but i use menu lock which gives you 8 buttons. You pull the button over to open an app that you have assigned. I also use No Lock which is an app that keeps your phone from using its lock. Together it makes it to where the only lock i see is menu lock.
It is the best app i have of the over 100 i now have and the well over 500 i have tried.
Good luck.

Thanks for replying.... I forgot all about No Lock. I think I know how to get the lockscreen that I want.

Well I think I spoke to soon. I can't disable the system's lockscreen. Even with No Lock enabled. I downloaded the QQ Launcher just for the lockscreen so that I could use it with Go Launcher. It works sometimes, but Im still getting my old system lockscreen. Its gotta be a way to disable the system lockscreen.

Anyone have Widget Locker working properly?

I've tried everything and can't manage to disable the stock lock screen resulting in me having 2 lock screens and having to swipe both to get to my launcher.
Has anyone been able to disable the stock lock screen in Android 4.0+ (I'm on 4.2.1)?

Ive got widget locker installed and it works like a charm !
Cant live with out !!

[Q] Still Seeing the Samsung Lockscreen?

I've tried installing several custom lockscreen, currently using C-Locker. The problem is, occasionally the stock Samung lockscreen will appear. Sometimes it will get replaced in a second by the custom lockscreen and sometimes the stock lockscreen stays until I turn off the screen and turn it back on.
Is there a way to freeze/stop the stock lockscreen? or to make the custom lockscreen the ONLY lockscreen that see?
Thanks

Go to settings, search for lockscreen, set it from swipe to none. Simple
You're welcome.

Thank you sir, that did it.

[Q] Disable lock screen sliding?

Lately when I go to unlock the screen from the lock screen, I'll accidentally swipe from the left of the screen and it will take me to a widget page, where I'll have to swipe back to middle, up to default lock screen, and then try swiping to unlock again. Is there any way to disable this annoying lock-screen widget thing?

Maybe someone can get this working in a xposed module

You could disable the lock screen altogether. When you double tap it would take you directly to your home screen.

I like the LG lock screen ...but I have no need for lockscreen widgets

Any progress on dealing with this problem?

Still no answer?

You can try lock screen policy app from the app store and that disables widgets on lock screen ... I think it should work with LG lock screen

Widgets Not Updating

Has anyone had a problem where widgets will not update (for example, weather widgets don't refresh and switch widgets don't show a change in state)? I had thought I traced my issue to Be weather, and switched to Beautiful Widgets and after working fine for a day or two it has started to cease updating every few hours and require me to restart the launcher. I noticed this on Apex and Go Launcher.

Some Samsung specific widgets will not update if you are using a different launcher

The widgets I am referring to are third party - BeWeather and Beautiful Widgets appear to potentially "cause" an issue, but once the issue occurs, all widgets are impacted.

My internet access works fine (I still get emails) - and once I restart the launcher it automatically updates. Plus I have played with the network optimizer function (new feature that will go on and off WiFi depending on the ability to get on the internet) on and off and the same thing happens.

Try to re update again.

The re-update switch in the widgets doesn't work. Updating launchers and widgets to latest versions does not work. All widgets just become unresponsive including switch widgets (I use switchpro). They will perform the function (I.e. on a weather widget the update happens in the background and the switch will perform whatever function its tied to) but it will not display (I.e. the switch widget will not show the change in state and weather widgets will not show the updated weather).

Have you asked some of your friend if they have the same problem like yours.

Lol - I hang out with all apple guys. I do know one person with an S5, uses Go Launcher and has this issue with the Accuweather widget and the stock weather widget (which I believe was also powered by accuweather on the back end). I noticed that, regardless of the widget I was using, I still show BeWeather as an active process, so I went ahead and uninstalled it. I still have the issue however.
PS - I have no issues with my Nexus 7 (2012) which runs Kitkat as well.

Interestingly enough, the problem seems to have fixed itself. There were updates to Apex in the meantime, perhaps its that.
My friend with Go Launcher is also seeing the same impact - the issue is gone.

Calendar widget quit updating
Just today, my calendar widget stopped updating. Just says "No upcoming calendar events." I've tried the stock and Agenda Widgets - nothing. I'm running Google Now launcher, but they don't work in Touchwiz Launcher either. I noticed yesterday that the number of items on the widget began to dwindle.
Any fix for this?

Well, trust me I did everything for my Xperia L when I encountered this problem.

Look two three posts before it for more information!
What fixed it was taking battery out for few minutes and putting it back again!

Hey guys, if you stop the cashed process for touchwiz home, the widgets immediately start updating. I'm using a verizon Samsung galaxy s5 4.4.4 kitkat. Just thought I'd throw that in...
