Shortcuts on the lock screen

Is it possible to use pattern unlock and also have shortcuts on the lock screen?
The option seems to be grayed out when pattern unlock is enabled...
thanks

Globally
There are about 7 programmed gestures which are fully customizable.
Excellent.
I've done the following:
(Short) swipe up: recent apps
(Long) swipe up: Google search
Swipe up then down: retract notification menu
Swipe up then right: shortcut to contact
Swipe up then left: opens rss reader
Perfection.

After unlocking how do I get it to go immediately to my home screen?

After unlocking my phone with my password, it goes immediately to my phone keypad. How do I change it to go immediately to my home screen instead? I've searched through my settings multiple times and in the user guide and have searched online and I can't find anything. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!!

Are you using the stock launcher?

Sorry to sound dumb, but ... I have no clue. How can I find out?

When swiping the lockscreen do it in the center, if you swipe close to the left it will trigger the phone shortcut and it will launch the phone app

Enable Knock off using Nova Prime?

I was using screen lock pro previous on my Note 7 which worked, but it does not play nice with Nougat and the stock Nova gesture cause you to not be able to do a subsequent unlock using fingerprint sensor

seriously? God that's annoying. I have that problem on my s7 and I figured a phone that had native knock on would work fine but androids dumb ass security Bs is preventing it from working right. well that's crap.

try screen off and lock 1.17.3. it's old, but should work as long as you allow it as a device administrator

Smart Launcher does the same. If you use the double tap gesture to trun off the screen, it makes you use a pattern or knock code to unlock it again. I've just been using the notification bar double tap.

Try DTSO from the Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.enlace.doubletap&hl=en
I use the Dynamic widget/Transparent option for screen-off.
Using Apex Launcher Pro & no lockscreen security,other than the swipe to open (No fingerprint/code or pattern lock) & the stock Double-Tap to unlock works fine.
It's the Double-Tap to screen-off function that I use with this app & it works flawlessly.
I realize most want to use a screen security lock of some sort,but,wanted to post this work-around for 3rd party launchers for the few that don't use lock screen security measures.

did you go into security settings on the phone and make Nova AND screen off....device administrators? Then go into nova settings, gestures, and then select the double tap gesture...choose apps and then select screen off.
works fine on my device

Yep, both are device administrators. When I try to unlock the device, it says device administrator has locked it and needs my pin.
I had this issue on my S7 and Note 7 and used screen lock pro since it had a delay it would work, but it does not play nice with Nougat

I just set up a double tap gesture to lock screen. When you do it the first time it gives you two options: Make nova a device admin, or not. With the first method, you wont be able to unlock with fingerprint. With the second, you can unlock with fingerprint but it takes about 15-20 seconds before you can. I went with the second option.

Not sure what options you're talking about. But this is what I get when I try. It specifically says you have to use pin

Can you post exactly what you set up, steps and everything cause it's weird that yours is like that.
Are you using fingerprint sensor or pin lock screen?

I'm using knock code and fingerprint sensor. In nova all i did was go to gestures and set the double tap gesture to screen lock. That's when that message comes up. No other third party software.

You know what i just realized something. I'm a bet tester for nova, maybe it's an unreleased feature. You can sign up to beta test also it's an open beta. I believe you do it through novas Google plus page

Awesome. Just signed up. Csnt wait for the update.

I got the beta and get the option. Only thing is the phone never truly locks. I lowered my screen off time frame from 30 seconds to 15 seconds and still nothing

It does take a little longer than it says. But eventually it does. I'm hoping once the feature is out of beta it works as advertised.

This was/Still is driving me crazy, being not able to unlock using fingerprint after setting Nova as a device Admin is really a bummer, but then again, this only was introduced in Marshmallow and up, it seems that Devs are getting more and more crazy about the "Security" and now, with each update, its getting really annoying, stuff like "Screen Overlay" and this, is seriously annoying.
I joined Nova Beta, lets see !

I reached out to Nova for answers. They said that it's an unfortunate situation with how 6.0+ was designed but said that there is a workaround if you're rooted. I've asked for this details. Since I really don't care about android pay, I'll probably root this phone.

Why double tap or any number of taps??
If you tap on your screens, you may have a chance of mistakenly opening an app!
This following solution is more practical:
"Swipe home button" in Play store. An easy and practical way to get to home screen, works well.

How's battery usage? Is it significant?
Also, I'm using the version you posted but it's not working when the screen is off. I'm sure I deactivated all app-killing process. I don't think it's this.
