Advanced Lock Screen Settings in New Nougat? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I was using the Samsung Good Lock app to configure my lock screen. That app seems to not be available in Nougat. Long-pressing the gear icon in the notification window does not appear to work (again).
Is there a way to get to the advanced lock screen settings in AT&T Nougat?
Thanks!

Not until Good Lock is updated for nougat, which seems like its probably not coming since we're over two months past the last update

[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

Camera widget during pin/pattern lock?

OK so I know on cyanogenmod ROM you can have it where you have a pin/pattern lock screen and without unlocking use the camera app by swiping right.
Is this MOD possible with just a rooted touchwiz MI9 and if so how?
Thanks ahead of time!))

What you need is to have Xposed installed with the following modules: "Enable Camera on lockscreen", and "Samsung Multiple Widgets". You can search it on the Xposed app. The Samsung Multiple Widgets will allow you to have widgets on a locked screen and the other one does what the name implies.
Thanks man!

I can't seem to get this to work using a pattern unlock. I am on on the leaked NC 2 Kitkat rom. When I wake up my phone I have the clock on top and the 9 dots for the unlock pattern. I've tried all the modules and can't seem to get the camera icon on my lockscreen. Is the camera icon supposed to be on the bottom right of the page?
This feature doesn't work on 4.4.2 with a lock pin or pattern, only swipe. Hopefully a dev releases an updated Xposed module. I used that feature so much that I purchased a Klick button to get to the camera since nothing worked on KK with a locked screen.

Watchon lock screen widget removal?

I was trying out watch on tonight. It is ok but not something I would use all the time. The problem now is I can't get rid of the widget on my lock screen. I researched a little. and came across going into settings and disabling the lock screen option. Problem is for me that option is all grayed out. I can't find any other fixes
Thanks

Anyone had a problem like this? I was told if i searched people had this problem. But i have searched and have not found anything about my issue
no issues here
have you tried a reboot
in my setting for watchon nothing is grayed out
the widget on lock screen is it dead center or on one of the side when u scroll
Clear app data and reinstall updates for it. Happened to me. That fixed mine

Two lockscreens??

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced having 2 lockscreens? I had swipe enabled for a while until I unlocked it in my pocket. I now have a pattern lockscreen but it first goes to swipe lockscreen then to my pattern. I thought this was unusual and was wondering if anyone else has this issue?
Are you using nova launcher?

Yes I'm using Nova
Never has that. I'm using nova. My lockscreen is fingerprint. I'm getting double lockscreen if I enable tap to sleep.
Using Nova as well but no tap to sleep anything. After unlocking with fingerprint it says something like "Pattern required for added security". Very annoying.
Do you use the "trusted devices" setting? I've had this happen while having that setting enabled. I turned it off and haven't had an issue since.

It's the double tap to sleep option. If you set that to none it will no longer give you the 2 lockscreens

Not using that setting. I've tried switching lockscreen methods then restarting but nothing works. It's not a big deal to me but I would like to unlock my phone without having a two step process.

DTTS, Fingerprints and Other Launchers

Has anybody been able to get the fingerprint scanner to bypass a secondary security feature to open the phone after doing double tap to sleep while using a different launcher? I like Action Launcher 3 but so far every double tap to sleep app that can be controlled by AL3's gestures requires knock code to open the phone even if the fingerprint scanner is used to wake the phone. I found one that worked with my previous phone (GS7E) but it's not compatible with this phone. So far every app I've tried hasn't worked (including ones that say they are MM fingerprint compatible).

Ohh... So that's what happens. I thought my phone was randomly turning off the fingerprint feature. Using Nova and that's happening to me as well
It's something that's been happening since MM
you can double tap the status bar and it will work but limits you to double tap only on that area (even the Nova beta has the issue too)
In MM there was a workaround using Screen Lock Pro app form the playstore, but it no longer works in Nougat
Hoping the developer fixes it soon(if possible).
If youre rooted nova allows you to use fingerprint after double tap to sleep now

Use the app DTSO from the Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.enlace.doubletap&hl=en
Place an invisible widget on your homescreen & you have DTTS.
Yes,you do need to make room for a widget on your homescreen,but,unless you cram pack your desktop with apps/floders/etc...,this shouldn't be hindrance.
Will this work with secure locking,IDK,I just use swipe to open,but,if you're looking to regain DTTS,it's worth a shot.

DTTS is not the problem, we can get it to do that.
The issue is the secure lock and wanting to use fingerprint sensor on the subsequent wake.

I've had absolutely zero issues with my FP scanner and Nova Launcher Prime. I just tested your issue (double tap status bar, then unlock with fingerprint). I went straight back to Chrome, where I was previously. No secondary security hurdle at all. I'm on the tmobile variant.

Yes on the status bar it's fine but not any open spots on the homepage.

I've got double-tap on my home screen set to open Google Now. I didn't even think you could turn off the screen double tapping anywhere but the status bar?
