[Q] No lockscreen shortcut option on my note 3

It's weird my note 3 does not have lockscreen shortcut option. I bought mine in the Phiippines.
I only have screen lock, personal message, owner information, make pattern visible, unlock effect, lock automatically, lock instantly with power key and action memo on lock screen options.
also on the unlock effect, i only have the watercolor option, not the oil paint.
pls check link

I have the same problem. Has anyone found a solution?

Same here. Seems to be a problem on the German ROM.
Zooper widget can be added to the lockscreen and has the option to create shortcuts. Might be a good alternative.
Am still looking for a lockscreen replacer, the default is ugly.

I have the ATT Note 3 and had the same problem. I got the lockscreen shortcuts by turning off security and going in and enabling the shortcuts on wanted. I then turned security back on (in my case pattern lock) and the shortcuts stayed!

Mine is set to swipe. There is no shortcut option.

Mine too. Just swipe and a bunch of icons there on the right.
The shorcut from note 2 is gone. (is that what we are talking about)?

If You have access root try THIS

Shadowlea said you have to set the screen lock to ’swipe‘ first, after doing that i saw both multiple widgets and shortcuts options appeared below swipe options which is also under the lock screen settings. I don't know why they only enable this to run only when using the no security setting.

Because using the shortcuts unlocks the phone without requiring a security check, thus bypassing security and making it useless. So it's only available on settings that do not require a security check.
Setting it to Swipe does not make the shortcuts options appear for me, nor does setting it to Pin and then back to swipe.

Note 3 Lockscreen Shortcuts with PIN/Password BUG
I did a variety of searchs but didn't find anything quite matching, so I thought I would share this on this thread.
If you set the Lockscreen widgets or shortcuts, then enable the password or PIN options (which make the options to turn the widgets or shortcuts on or off disappaer) once the phone goes idle and the screen goes dark and 'locks' it will no longer come back up without powering off the device (or even rebooting). NOTE: The screen will not enable even on an incoming phone call, text or other item that should bring up the lockscreen for you to input your password.
Changing the setting back to Swipe (No Security) will enable the options again and let you turn them off so you can reenable security.
I took my first Note 3 back to Sprint bacuse of this, but didn't figure out until today when I was messing with the settings that this is what had happened.
I can't be the only person that has done this, can I?

Swipe Up From Home Button to Lock Screen -- Sharing what I discovered...

The same gesture that you do to get to Google Now can be changed to turning the device/screen off.
Just install this free app called "Screen Off And Lock": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
Then swipe up from Home (like you would to get to Google Now) and it'll ask you to set a new default:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Grant it permissions, and now, every time you swipe up from Home, you can lock your screen/device from anywhere! Great for those who don't want to overuse the power button, and for those who obviously don't use Google Now like that.
To get rid of it, just go to "Screen Off and Lock" app in your App settings and Clear Defaults (or just uninstall the app).
Just thought I'd share.

Thank you! I love the apps like this.

love it, if only i can swipe up to turn on

Thanks for sharing.

Perfect! The next step is a kernel with a tap-tap to wake

Glad you guys are enjoying it. It makes turning off the device so much cooler.

Bricked kernel supports both tap to wake as well as swipe to wake BUT battery train increases by about 2-3x on idle above having it off. It goes from 0.5 to 1% per hour w/o these enabled to 2-3% w/ enabled. These are both customizable (enable/disable) but be aware of the drain.

This is great for one handed operation when you don't want to reposition the phone.

Very cool, just what my N5 was needing!

Thanks for highlighting this app.

This app disabled the double tap to wake function of the bricked kernel. That is unfortunate, because having both of these running in conjunction would make the N5 a 1 handed notification checking, song changing device when its on your desk or table.
EDIT: Just kidding it was disabled for some reason. I had it set to reenable after start up...so I don't know what happened.

Too much battery drain I never use these apps

Lol. It's the exact same amount as Google Now. It is only listening when the screen is already on, which would otherwise be waiting for an upward swipe for Now.

Looking for a way to turn the screen off without hitting the power button

I am looking to add a button\widget to the homescreen that will shut the screen off. After looking for some apps I found some that will accomplish this but force a pin upon turning the screen on even if I used the fingerprint scanner. Is there such an app?
Thank you in advanced!

kernel or a rom

I use two fingers swipe down instead of double tap. You can set any gesture you want.

Roms have double tap top screen to sleep.

Everyone he already given all info needed. This is one of many reasons why I love roms. I always have a custom tile for screen off and a softkey just for screen off that way I can access it either way and not hit a button. Nexus devices have always had crappy buttons and I don't wanna mess em up by hitting them 20,000 times so thats how I get around it. Lots of great 100% stable custom roms to choose from. Pure Nexus, Chroma, RR, AICP, Aokp, the list goes on.. Nexus is the best device for roms. Cheers.

LMT Launcher supports this. Bind one of the items to key code 29 to do a screen off.

GMD GestureControl (play store) works fine (root)

Just download Nova and set a gesture, no root needed. I pinch the screen to turn it off.

Do you mean like this. Look at bottom right hand side in nav bar. No xposed. Pure stock rooted.

The Best one I've ever seen is run resurrection remix with whatever kernel, elemental is good or Franco. Then simply add an extra nav bar button. So instead I having three at the bottom I have 4. You have the back, home, and recents +power button on the far right of nav bar. A single process turn off long press and you'll get the power menu with screenshot power off and reboot and reboot to recovery that's all you want.

It's within systemui.apk. Me and @Tigerstown will be releasing a nav bar mod pack.

If you can wait 7 seconds, you can use a Tasker shortcut to set the screen time out to 7 seconds, and then restore it after it goes off.

And you can unlock the phone with fingerprint? If I lock the screen with gesture in nova I can't unlock with only fingerprint, it also requires password. To get around that you need root.

Just link the double tap gesture in Nova to screen Lock pro. It will work without root and fingerprint will still work. Been using it for months.

Screen off app with nova launcher. Set the app to the double tap gesture in Nova.

App to Turn Off Lockscreen without using tue powerbutto?

So i do not want to keep using the powerbutton to turn the screen off/lock it, i am not rooted, is there a non root app to turn off the lockscreen? I tried a few apps from the app store but they all seem to conflict with the fingerprint scanner.

There is the old app that is not perfect but turn screen off without locking it. Link I'm searching for better solution too.

Nova Launcher is great for this. Also Microsoft's Arrow Launcher (but that has a tendency to drain battery and also it is hard to find an empty spot on screen to double-tap to sleep).

Finally i found it This app off screen without locking it on S7Edge - just have to set "SmartLock and Nexus Imprint" ON in settings.

If you use fingerprint lock (or maybe any secure lock, I'm not sure) on Marshmallow, apps that actually lock the screen will cause the OS to request a pin or password when you turn the screen back on.
The app that Golubev linked avoids that by implementing a work around, or kludge, depending on your point of view. Instead of actually locking the phone, it simply displays a black screen in immersive mode. It looks like the screen has shut off, but it doesn't really shut off until the screen times out about 10 seconds later.

Yes, they do. And if you press the power button thinking you're going to turn the screen on, it doesn't actually turn on, because you actually turned the screen off.

Turns out there's a way to do this built into the phone. And you can do it from any screen in any app, not just the home screen.
Go to Settings / Accessiblity / Dexterity and Interaction / Assistant menu
Tap on Edit. You'll see a bunch of options for things you can do on the screen. Icons you drag below the gray line won't be visible, items you drag above the line will be. Note that one of the options is "Lock screen." Make sure that's above the line.
The drawback is that you get a new blue circle on every screen, like so. (The circle can be moved anywhere on the screen, so it doesn't cover up important info.)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The benefit is that you can tap on that circle and execute any of the options you selected when you set it up. Including shutting the screen off without touching the power button, and without interfering with fingerprint lock.

Title says it all.

What kind of customization? Moving or other? You can swap positions and add a couple predefined LG buttons. Lg says there will be a wireless charging but I will believe when I see it. All this info is available in threads. Those threads say more.

I also use a screen off button. The one I use can no longer be found on the playstore. Not sure why but I had a backup of the apk on my sd card and it seems to work fine.

Another way is to drag and drop the settings icon from the app drawer

Is any app you could use to prevent from screen to shutting down? I mean, I used to use "always on" app but with 7.0 is not working correctly.
I wish I could just read the book and not to tap the screen all the time to wake screen up.

On my G3 there was an option called "Smart Screen" that kept the screen on while you were looking at it. I loved that option. I don't know why LG got rid of it. It was a separate app. I wonder if it would still work on V20

Screebl... I've used it for years, customizable Screen on based on phone orientation.

Always on works perfect on my v20. I also use screen off widget to turn my screen off as well as double tap to turn on.

problem with screen off and any widget or app i have found is that it is a harder lock than just hitting the button.. you will need a pattern to unlock it just like first boot (ie fingerprint unlock non operational) very annoying...

True. I don't use any lockscreen - so I always forget about that. If requiring you to not do anything to turn your screen on is important to you - then why would you even have a lockscreen setup?
