Lockscreen replacement?? - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Hello all
is it safe to use some lockscreen replacement app in my stock OP6T??
the stock lockscren makes the wallpapers incredibly ugly...
it makes the wallpapers always greenish or blueish or yellowish and etc etc etc...
in my research on how to fix that, I noticed that it is not possible... so I thought in trying a third app as lockscreen.
can someone tell me if it is possible and maybe suggest one??

You won't be able to use the fingerprint on any other lockscreen.

[Q] Live wallpaper changes and restricts lock effect to light beam?

Decided to try out having live origami as my wallpaper, I love it. subtle, not too distracting, low battery consumption and it changes regularly, perfect for my ADD for wallpapers.
However, when I go into settings>display>wallpaper>home+lock and change it to live origami, my homescreen changes no problem, the lock screen does too. But then it resets it to having the light-shaft unlock effect and greys out the option in the lock screen settings.
Is there anyway to prevent this or re-toggle the 'no effect'(just the icon of a lock)?
Did you figure it out
I'm having the same issue as you. Just wondering if you've figured this out already.

Change homescreen only. Can't have live wallpaper on lockscreen and have the light or ripples. Same thing on Note2 with ripple
I think it has to do with performance and possibly look. Samsung can't conttol what the interaction would look like between the live wallpaper and the ripple/light beam.

Kind of the opposite of what my isue is
it defaults TO the light effect and then locks it out from trying anything else. so I have live wallpaper and am forced into the light effect also

Can someone tell me, how I can add a weather widget on my lock screen?
Found this polygon wallpaper. The colors look really nice on my gold edge.

There's a lot of apps you can download that changes the lookscreen and adds customizability
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cmcm.locker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay
do any of these work with fingerprint scanner? CM says it does, but i don't see the option in their menu -- just pattern or password.

Guys, can I hijack this thread to ask if your backlight is on when you use a pure black wallpaper as your lock screen wallpaper?
My blacks are pure black when I open my screensaver in the gallery (if i tap the screen to remove the UI, I can't see the screen at all in a dark room) and it's the same for most screens except for the lock screen. In the lock screen it almost appears gray or it appears like it's affected by backlight bleeding. Just wanted to find out if it's a software bug (since it's almost like the Night Clock bug) or if it's a defect with my phone. I also cleared my cache with no success.
Also, how do you take a screenshot of the lock screen?

Not sure if they work with the s6 edge, might have to wait for that support. I'll personally just wait for xposed to be updated so i can get fun stuff like wanam xposed, and just live with the current launcher, as i really like the fingerprint scanner.

You can change wallpaper by long pressing on an empty space in the homescreen. It goes into edit mode and you will see a wallpaper icon and label at the bottom left. Tap that and you are directed to another menu to select whether to apply your wallpaper to just your home or lockscreen or both. You can also go to settings>wallpaper to change wallpapers.
As for the weather, the design changes accordingly with the theme you choose.
Hope this helps.

Tap on your homescreen weather widget. Go to more>settings>show weather information. Profit.

Press home+powerkey simultaneously to get a screenshot anywhere in your phone.
Thanks so much for sharing guys. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that white status bar I have in the lockscreen. It just looks so ugly. Hopefully an upcoming FW update from my carrier would fix it. :fingers-crossed:
Does someone know how to get the wallpaper the S6 gets when it's on update mod? Blue cyan w/bugdroid on the middle. I really love it
Simple look.

I don't understand why there is a shortcut to the camera on the lockscreen?
I thought you could open the camera frem everywhere with two cliks on the home button?

Why the need to change that? You only see that when there's an update. Do you get an update every hour?

See notifications on lockscreen

Hi all, is there any way to enable and/or see any notification on the Lockscreen when you have any other Lockscreen Design chosen than the default one? In German the default is called "Diashow-Entsperrstil", which only shows the notifications. But as I am using the settings in the picture (because it is looking so damn hot when you see the shooting stars on the lock screen with this wallpaper) I am a little bit mad about not seeing any notification neither on the screen nor in the top status.
From what I know you only can do either:
1) Using deflaut theme, changing wallpaper and symbols to what you desire and pausing diashow.
2) Using customized theme which supports notifications and adjust main screen, lock screen and symbols. I am using for instance that one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=h7.hamzio7.aospdark.ps (flat theme supports notifications).

I have the same problem. Did you found any way to solve it?
Try the app "floatify". I think that's wat you want.
You have to use the dia show Lockscreen to get it work
Floatify is a really good app. But it only works with Android 7.x or lower. Since Oreo it is not working anymore.

Remove Lockscreen Clock etc.

Does anyone know how to remove the Clock on the Lockscreen? I Don't mean the AOD. I searched and a few people wondered but got no answer. I am rooted and can perform actions that require it. Help Somebody
anyone?
Try here there's one that just removes the clock and leaves the date and other text aswell I believe. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341/post73076098
I'm not rooted but that lockscreen clock is terrible.
I just want to change it to the same horizontal one I use on the aod screen but seems you can't.

There is a terrible hack to get rid of the horizontal clock:
Enable display of notifications and always have at least 1 notification showing at a time. If there is a notification, it will draw horizontal because there isn't room for vertical.

Odd Wallpaper Color Tint Issue

I Just got a ZTE ZMax Pro (Z981) today from MetroPCS overall the phone is great but im having a weird issue when setting my wallpaper, when viewing images in the gallery or previewing to set the wallpaper everything looks fine but when the image is a wallpaper i notice a slight change in the color like a slight green tint.
preview images below edit: cant post images... any idea what could be causing this ? Using Stock with Nova Launcher, Color Correction is off.
This is a minor problem and isnt a deal breaker to me but if its fixable it be nice.
Any help or input would be appreciated, thank you.

Have you played with your screen anamation in developer options it will change visuals as well as if you have a adaptive brightness set u may just b seeing rough version or a installed app affecting you , I use Nova without issue on the z981 ,it preforms sexy like a unlimited data mod lol , and it may make a diff if you are using free version or paid lite may have bugs I'd try my custom launcher c if it has a better effect or check , check all you nova visuals you may have simply made a mistake in display preference good luck
Thanks for the input, i had animation scale to off, and reverting it back to 1x and restarting did not fix the issue, also playing with the nova animations and tinkering with settings didnt fix it, im using nova prime, tried with the stock launcher also gives me the darker wallpaper, im not sure what it is, because when im looking at the image to set it the colors are fine, its not until its a wallpaper that its darker, like i said it isnt horrible after awhile i dont even notice but its just odd..
what is this custom launcher you speak of?
and yes this phone is pretty amazing, i was little bummed at first because the blade was out of stock where i went but upon further review im happy i got this, could care less about the camera.. on another note can we be expecting android 7.0 in the future ?
