How to get Dash Clock widget on S4 lock screen ?

With our Galaxy S4, I can't figure out how to get the 'Dash Clock' widget on the lock screen ?
Aldo the S4 lock screen doesn't seem to allow swiping to the left or tight for the other lockreens, to add widgets and stuff ?

Goto:
settings/ my device/ lock screen and make sure multiple widgets is checked. Then you will be able to add widgets to your lock screen.

Ok, I did that, and then I press on the lock screen before I swipe to open it, and hold press the screen, trying to add widgets nothing happening, and the option to swipe left or right on the lock screen, just doesn't work at all it seems on Touchwiz ?

comatose1978 has it right. After you select that setting, go back to the lock screen and swipe left and hit the Plus Sign to add the widget. After you have it added, press and hold to reorder them, to make Dash Clock the default.
When you drag right or left, make sure you are dragging on the widget its self, not the empty area on the screen (cause then it will trigger the swipe to unlock).
Attatched is a screenshot of my phone, held halfway between lockscreen widget pages.

Great thank you. But I just installed Widget Locker instead, gave me more options, and seems to go better with Dash Clock than the stock Touchwiz lock-screen.

Is there a ability to set dashclock as the main lookscreen and use it, when you have a look pattern?

You cannot add custom widgets to the lockscreen with security enabled, like a lock pattern.

No, I'm pretty sure an xposed module let's you use widgets with security on. Could be wrong though

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.

I use Nova Launcher and setup gestures, double tap screen to lock.

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.

In this case the Back and Recent keys should also continue to work: do they?

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.

Nova launcher has the same problems for me as any other app, after locking it with gestures i am required to input a pin/passcode and it won't unlock with fingerprint.

that was due to the recent samsung update, downgraded to PC8 and i can use double tap to lock and unlock with fingerprint again.

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_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.

app to allow double tap screen to sleep

I used the double tap to sleep gesture with nova launcher on my old phone to put it too sleep and turn the screen off. With my s8 I have to put in my pin when i wake the phone up.
Is there any app or now that would allow me to double tap to sleep and then be able to wake it up with having to put my pin in??

I liked that gesture as well. Haven't found anything, if you find something, please post it.

I am using nova to double tap to sleep and mine does not ask for a pin each time.
When I set the double tap the phone gave me 2 options on unlocking after nova locks the phone. One of the options was to not require a password/pin.
I do have smart unlock active for home, work and my car Bluetooth.

Smart launcher as well uses double tap

I set nova to that setting but now I don't get any notification info on my lockscreen

Does Samsung have double tap to wake? (I liked it on my LG & Sony phones) or an app to emulate it.

If you have always on display you can double tap the home button to wake.

Oohh indeed, my bad ^^

any options other than 3rd party launchers?

I think it's not possible on unrooted device.

Can you guys check something with the camera?

Ok, so when the screen is off and I double click the power button to utilize the camera feature, after taking the picture, my only option if I click on the picture (via little button on bottom right), is to delete the picture, and none of the other options offered in the gallery, like edit, SHARE (which is my issue I'd like to do!), etc. . .you'd think all of the options would be available after taking a pic by double clicking the power button and waking the phone. . .
If the phone is on and I double click to get to the camera and subsequently take a pic, all of the options are available. The problem only seems to be when the screen is off. . .

This is because your screen is locked, and the phone won't allow you to share and access other personal features without unlocking your phone.

Hmmmm, interesting. Guess that makes sense, so you can take a picture but not do anything else. . . .except I have smart lock enabled and my phone is unlocked while at home, bluetooth devices connected, etc. . .

That's pretty much it. You probably have the lock screen security features enabled which you choose when you first setup your device and set a lock screen. It's a smart feature for security reasons. Otherwise someone can find your phone and start scrolling through your nudes. As for smart lock the device is still locked unless you swipe. It doesnt take you straight to the home screen when you power on the screen again. Yet again a security feature. Common sense really

yep, as Valkiry said, as long as you don't unlock the phone, even if it's only a swipe, you don't get the access to it. If you want full access, swipe first to unlock, then double click power button into camera, now you will have full access.

Understood. Just thought that smart lock would recognize the camera use and all it's features, that's all. . thanks for the explanation guys!

If my screen is off, not locked, I get the menu. This was just a test shot. And yes, puggle is licking the couch.

See? That's what I was wondering my phone should know via Smart Lock that I'm home therefore should not be locked and if I double click the power button to take a picture I would expect to have all the options on what to do with that picture once I push the right side / preview button

Gesture to put the phone to sleep?

The awkward position of the power button makes me miss the sleep gestures in xposed framework when I would just remap google now(don't use anyway) to sleep so I could just swipe up from home to sleep the phone to return to the pocket... Thing is I'm on Verizon and don't have root. So does anybody know of a way that something like this could be done without root? I looked all through settings and googled it but have not found anything.
Thanks

I'm using the app One Hand Operation + from the Samsung store. I have it set up so I can swipe in from the left edge to turn off the screen, even if I'm in an app. Custom launchers like Nova can also let you swipe to turn off the screen. I think there are also ways to map the Bixby button to turn off the screen as well.

Am also using one hand operations and assigned a gesture to screen off

....You can also use this "Softkey Edge"... [emoji6]

You can buy Nova Launcher Prime and use double tap to put the phone to sleep. Otherwise you can simply remap the bixby button to be your power button and then you will have it closer.
Only thing is with Nova the double tap will only work if the phone is unlock, otherwise if you don't unlock it and you are still in the lockscreen you will need to press the power button.

Thanks for all of the feedback, I'm going to download One Hand Operation +. My only question about remapping the bixby button is doesnt that require root access?? I looked all over with google to see if it could be done without root and I couldn't find a way. I played around with the bixby settings to get it to run a command to sleep the phone too but that didn't work for me...

I buy nova prime. The problem is that Nova double tap to sleep is not compatible with face recognition, it awakes the phone inmediatly after turn off
