Seen this on the captivate forum if u use the app no lock with lockscreen replacement apps u don't double unlocks ever
Useing widget locker and works great never see stock unlock screen now.
So today I was messing with go locker pro and some settings and I was able to set a pattern using go locker pro, then used the swipe from the stock lock screen to have multiple widgets with the swipe effect and when i unlocked I would have to draw a pattern which was a part of go locker pro. Sadly go locker is laggy and when i reboot I have to set the settings over again because swipe gets taken off. Can anyone use this as a lead to figure out how to keep this set up permanently?
Not sure if this was addressed already but is there ANY way, even if the device needs to be rooted, for the camera or apps to be accessible through lockscreen without having to unlock similar to IOS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You can download this right here and have the iOS 7 lock screen which you can set up the camera up to it. Also if you don't put a pass code on your phone you can have widgets on it and you can pull your camera up from there as well.

Can't you just setup a PIN in your phone then enable the Camera to appear as a Lock Screen Widget from your lockscreen?

if you setup a PIN to unlock you phone you can't have a lockscreen widget besides the clock, but if you set just swipe to unlock, you can add more widgets to your lockscreen ( if you enable multiple lockscreen widgets on settings->lockscreen). Just swipe down when you're on lockscreen and then swipe from left to right to add more widgets

But will this give me access to the camera without first unlocking my phone?
This seems to be a big problem with the S4
I use widget locker. It will give you what you're looking for and worth every penny.

yes, it will
I've heard that you can access a settings panel on the lockscreen to save the current wallpaper and ect by gently dragging up. But I cannot get it to work on the latest OTA rom.
Did ZTE take out the lockscreen settings panel thing? Or am I not trying to activate it correctly?
If you want to save the wallpaper on lockscreen. Use the 3 finger pinch to capture screen.... Or GOTO lock settings and see wallpapers for today and get them from there

Activate the bell on the lock screen then swipe up at the bottom and you will get the menu
I don't have the lock screen options anymore either. I remember it used to be on lockscreen itself. I think adding fingerprint unlock and pattern to unlock removed it somehow. Or possibly Nova
It's something else. I have Fingerprint Lock as well as Nova launcher but still see the Wallpaper options while swiping up.

I don't know. I'm on b29. No root. Just nova launcher beta with fingerprint gestures app. I've tried going back to stock theme as default and disabling fingerprint. I get the lock symbol, no option for lockscreen menu. With fingerprint enabled I have the fingerprint symbol in place of the lock symbol. I've even tried disabling the bell altogether
Is there a free screen lock widget that locks v20 yet allows reopen with fingerprint rather than pin? I have tried several and they either don't really lock or require pin to reopen. Thanks!

Are you using nova launcher?
no
Screen off
but will it work with fingerprint? most require pin for some reason.
Why use a widget? Can't you just double knock to screen off and lock?
Only way for it to work is for it to set a timeout where it shows a blank screen until the phone shuts itself of. Ever since mm it has been this way. You can however double tap the notification bar to put it to sleep and still use fingerprint to unlock.

I need to disable. it since phone sometimes opens in holster by itself.
Yeah if you use LG's default launcher, you will be able to simply use Knock Off/On and unlock with your fingerprint. If you are using a different launcher then i believe you need root to be able to allow it to use double tap to lock without using admin. (Using admin to lock makes it require pin usage and not fingerprint).
Nova Launcher has such feature which is why I asked.
You might check out C Locker. It even has profiles where it won't lock when on specific BT or WiFI, or location.
As stated above, if you are rooted, you can get this working fine using Nova launcher (I'm currently doing that via Tasker but there are other apps that can do it too).
If you are not rooted then you may be SOL for now until changes are implemented on Google or LG's end (unless you find an app that is using the black screen/timeout workaround).
I also miss Gsam. Totally inaccurate in V20. Due to security changes in Nougat I'm told
