anyone know how to do this? i thought it was simple but i can't seem to find it in any settings
you cant. the lockscreen background is the same background as your homescreen wallpaper.
This is a small glitch but if you use a some replacement and change the live wallpaper it will appear in the lockscreen.
actually, found a great third party app that does it. Lock 2.0. Does a few other useful things as well. so while there is no "native" way to do it there are options...
Hello everyone. I was just wondering if there is a mod that lets you put a locksreen before putting your password. I know there's apps like widget locker and agile lock but I want to put the actual lockscreen(s) the phone comes with like the puzzle lock or the rotary lock. Any help/answers would be appreciated.
Lock menu is a nice lockscreen app. You can put your shorcuts on the lockscreen. But does anyone know a similar application which has menu options and a lock?
Widget Locker is among the more popular apps that does this.
I have just installed the Android 4.4.2 KitKat Resurrection Remix rom.
All working just fine, still getting used to it.
One question?
Only two options of weather apps available for the Lock Screen.
Yahoo and openweathermap
I would like to use the BBC weather map if possible.
Question is it possible and if so how do I show it.
Cheers
its possible i think install the app and use widget

I have the BBC app / widget on but cannot find any way to add it to the lock screen.
The option to customise lock screen weather gives only the two options I mentioned above.
Update
I found the way to add the weather widget to a side screen from the lock screen but that is not actually what I wanted.

You need to set "Custom widgets" on lockscreen. Then you long press on the actual widget and delete it. Then you can add your preferred widget.

Thanks for that.
Tried your suggestion and although I have the Custom Widget turned on I am unable to get the option to remove the weather from the lock screen.
I can with this Rom, de-select the weather widget on lock screen in settings to remove it.
Still no way to add my own selection to lock screen.
I can add a new screen to the side of the lock screen but that's not what I wanted.

That did the trick although it doesn't look very good due to the length of our village name.
But it works a treat otherwise.
Much appreciated :good:
Anyone know if there is a way to have the lockscreen wallpaper just be transparent so the main wallpaper can be seen?
You could use the same wallpaper for both or disable the lock screen altogether.
Can't really disable lockscreen as I encrypted the device. Same wallpaper would work but I actually use Tasker to go out and grab a weather radar image every 30 minutes and set that as wallpaper. Problem is that the lockscreen wallpaper doesn't appear to just reference the location of the file picked (otherwise I'd just overwrite it). Anyone know where the file is stored? Easy enough to crop an image to the right size using tasker.
