Hey guys, I was just changing my lock screen wallpaper on my Edge when I discovered that you can actually add up to 30 different wallpapers that will rotate every hour on your phone! I know it doesnt sound like a big deal, but absolutely a neat feature that was not talked about. Thanks Sammy! I currently set 8 different wallpapers for mine to rotate throughout the day. If you guys find any little things like this that werent talked about feel free to add them in this thread!:good:
How did you get this to work? Seems like a nice feature
are you referring to the lockscreen wallpapers where they "move" and change every hour? the note 4 has this too
I would love this feature! How'd you turn this on?
Ah, can only be used on the lock screen, not the homescreen.
I just realized this as well. Only the lock screen
Can anyone please post a Video

don't wanna make a new thread so as you talking about unknown features, well more of an Easter egg: the icon for the clock in the apps draw displays the real time including on the default theme, thought it was kinda cool. lol

Thanks! I actually thought it was for locking the phone (hence, direction lock), but it was only for unlocking. Thanks for the heads up though!
My GS6 Edge Gold Platinum 64GB is arriving on Friday and this thread is a good idea, keep posting people I want to know all the sexy features of this sexy phone
MultiTask mode where you can have an app floating on your desktop can be accessed as we know through the multiwindow key. But also within any app that can be "multitask" you can easily unlock it for multitask by swiping your finger on "top right or left corner" of the screen of the phone. Meaning outside of the screen to inside of the screen. Thought it was pretty cool too.

Seconded, infinitely customizable.

Definitely go for Widgetlocker.
Widgetlocker!!! its brill
Like others have said, Widget Locker is probably the best. It's available for $0.99 in the Amazon App Store and it's one of their best selling apps (that's how I found out about it).
Thanks guys, just got it. agreed its the nuts!
the other little thing pissing me off, cant customise the powercontrol widget.
Anyway to get WidgetLocker to not unlock with home key press?

Yes, it got something to do with homehelper.
Go to advanced settings/homehelper/ and check the boxes for 'Homehelper Block Home & Block Home In Other Apps'.
That did the trick for me.

Same but I want something which works with Samsung's music player's lockscreen widget.
Where I don't need to unlock phone to change tracks, pause /play etc.
Anyone got any ideas???
You can change the background under Settings > Display > Screen display > Lock screen > Wallpaper

WidgetLocker has full widget capabilities. As long as it's a standard widget that can be added through the widget menu, you should be fine to add it to the WidgetLocker screen.

I'm using the stock android pattern lockscreen.
when I enable widget locker it appears an icon in the notification tab. Is there a way to remove that?

Extended Controls. Market search it. It is the best one you could ever imagine. It does cost, but I bought it (and I am one cheap-skate! ) Great app. Allows you to easily make the powercontrol widget, with a number of themes, or icon packs. Very useful app.
I remember when I bought it, there are a number of different apps that do the same thing. But this one just looked the best at the time, so have a quick read of the info on each app.
Hey guys, sorry I'm an ex IOS user with my fist Android. I've been trying to add dasclock on my GS4 but the white boxes to add widgets on the lockscreen dont show up. I went into settings and I cant find anything.

While on the lockscreen, put your finger on the clock and swipe down. This will expand the clock widget and then allow you to long press the clock and remove it. Once removed (or swiping to an open lockscreen panel) you will see the white plus sign graphic that will open the lockscreen widgit selection dialogue.
Let me know if this is confusing, I can try to explain it in a different way.
Awesome got it! Thanks bro!

Hi all,
I have strange problem at Lockscreen, when i press the back button at Lockscreen a grey squre appear and the only option is to slide to unlock the screen.
Please see Attached file
I've look at the Lockscreen settings but there is no option that is talking about apps (already disable it).
Hope that someone is having the same problem.
Thanks,
Roy.
I'm not sure what you mean. But if you want to add a widget scroll the top half until you see a plus sign, tap it and choose a widget.
If it's short cuts, that's done through the menu somewhere like in your pics

It is not really a problem. I don't really understand you too but if you want apps on the lockscreen you have just to go in settings and when you are in the lockscreen there are in. When you swipe widgets pages the apps disappear and you have to swipe to the top for seeing it.

thr s always two way to access lock-screen setting;
setting > display > lock-screen
security > lock-screen (or screen lock)
on lock-screen option u press on it (instead of disable/enable toggle) then u will go to complete setting of lock-screen
:good:
Maybe I didn't explain myself I want to disable the widgets so I will not get the grey squre.

I haven't been able to figure out how to change the lockscreen wallpaper/background or add any widgets to the lockscreen. From reading "tips and tricks" generally applicable to most versions of the Note 3, it appears to me that Verizon has limited our lockscreen options compared to the other carriers. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
I have to say, this is frustrating, since I'm used to rooting and flashing ROMs that give me so much customization. That said, this phone is a beast!
Settings>Display>Wallpaper
You can change home screen...lock screen or both.
Settings>Lock screen > Multiple widgets...turn on
Success!

That option is only available if you use swipe as your unlock method. Unfortunately, they remove that option when you select any type of 'secure' lock method.

After the first week or so with lockscreen widgets on other phones, I found them useless. They were limited in information and functionality... and honestly, my muscle memory was to pickup my phone and unlock it. Then if they magnified to the full screen, the area to swipe to unlock got small... I just think for me, they were a waste. Once I am 2 or 3 swipes, or touches in, I can unlock it just as fast.
I hope someone figures out how to add them back. I have an ICE app that I need to have a lock screen widget for.
I always used the message g widget, always quicker than unlocking and going into the messaging app, I also used the app shortcut widget that u swipes to the right for, especially after getting spoiled using cover lockscreen, which I uninstalled due to too many bugs

I know that with root, I can use Xposed framework and download galaxy s5 widget to do it... but what about Note4 without root ?
(P.S. I'm sorry for my English...)
Ice contact lock screen
You can add your ICE contact (phone number etc.) to lockscreen by writing it in to the "owner information" -field, which can be found under lockscreen settings. No need for ICE-app.
