WidgetLocker.

Attached I have uploaded a screenshot of my lock screen using WidgetLocker, as you can see it is pretty customizable I choose not to use any sliders, I activate the unlock feature via the track ball or a 5 second press on the back button.

Notification Bar And Lock Screen

Hello. I was wondering if there is any way I could access the notification bar in the lock screen. I have CM10 and apex launcher pro on my skyrocket. Thanks for any help and I am sorry if there is something wrong with this topic.

Yeah thats basically it.

Just wanted to throw in that this will only work if you don't have any sort of security on your lock screen... so you can only swipe the notifications down if you have swipe to unlock and no password or anything.

Is there any way to bring it down with a password?

That would defeat the purpose of the password.

I'm running SkyICS with Apex launcher and Widget Locker... and it has the option of accessing the notification drop down from the lock screen (swipe down). Don't know if Widget Locker runs on CM10, but don't see why it wouldn't.

You can do it on CM10 stock no problem. The "issue" arises when you set a password unlock. Since it's protecting your information.

I use handcent and it has an option to disable the screen on when receiving a text. If you install and use it don't forget to disable the stock messaging app.

Actually you shouldn't disable it, I had the stock messaging app disabled and after the last couple of updates from Handcent I had the issues that many had of no notifications and no sound. Enabled the stock messaging app and everything is back to normal. I do however set Handcent to my default messaging app.

I can't stand it.

This lockscreen is annoying as crap... I'm sorry m venting, I hate the fact that I can't take my text messages off the lockscreen. Or in order to use dash clock I have to pull down.... Again just venting. But other than that, I love this phone

You can't take your text messages off the lockscreen? You mean the checkbox in Message settings?

He's referring to the checkbox next to "preview message" inside the settings of your messaging app.

It doesn't get rid of it off the lock screen. Just doesn't tell me who it is, which is even more annoying
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

yea, i dont like the new ls either... i prefer the aosp one...

Use the message center lock screen widget. Its a single communication screen for all messages. Does that help?

Guys the problem is this - when you enable ""Preview Message" it enables it on the lockscreen, which is nice I guess, whatever. But, this also enables you to see who sent the message in the notification shade.
Now, when you turn it OFF it still shows it in the lockscreen AND the notification shade but doesn't tell you who it is.
The big issue with this is, if you have a lock-pattern or other security turned on WITH "Preview Message" turned on, then anyone can see the contents of the SMS on the lockscreen - BAD SECURITY. On AOSP, this did not behave in this manner. On AOSP you would receive the notification, but that's all I need to see "Hey I have an sms!" - I don't need to preview this if I have enabled security on my phone for the very reason of keeping prying eyes off my phone.

I've never liked the new lockscreen of jellybean...I find lockscreen widgets annoying and pointless...then again I never really liked widgets in the first place haha

I was JUST going to post about that. I have some nosy ass girls who look over at my huge screen whenever they hear a beep or a buzz and I REALLY can't believe they wouldn't include a seperate option to NOT see the message preview from the lock screen.
It's nice to be able to preview it WHEN you slide the notification bar yourself but I don't need prying eyes on my lock screen.

Or how about we talk about the lag on the lock screen

We are talking aka ....LOCKSCREEN IS FUGLY! it will change when the devs get further along.

It's just crazy that Samsung wouldn't make it where you could turn it off..... Blah

+1 and they are battery hogs too. Worthless on the lockscreen.

im running apex launcher pro and rooted but even when i enable all the options , i get no notifications on my lockscreen , does it work with apex or only tw ?

I hate this lock screen too! It's so frustrating because I have long fingers, and I very often hit the clock when trying to swipe which just "grabs" the clock instead of unlocking the phone..
I am completely missing the point of widgets on your lock screen. I don't want them at all and I want to turn them off, but that's not an option. Why?? I want the screen to unlock whether I swipe the clock or a blank part of the screen!
Opening messages directly from the lock screen now is also a chore. Who thought to themselves that sliding a puzzle piece across the screen (or dragging your finger across an icon) to look at a message was too hard, and then came up with the current implementation? Click the message, then swipe your finger in a very specific part of the screen. Because that's intuitive.
We can have many home pages that have all of the widgets and icons we want on them. Why do we need an extra layer of them on our lock screens? If the lock screen weren't cumbersome to use, then shortcuts on the lock screen wouldn't be necessary because they wouldn't be saving any time.
The way the lock screen works really irritates me, and I honestly thought about just keeping my GS III because of it (and a couple of other things that are OT).

As cheesy as the slider lock screen on the iPhone is, one thing I really like about it is the ability to open the camera app directly without having to input my (corporate IT mandated) PIN to use it. That extra second or two wasted putting in my PIN on the S4 could mean I might miss a neat shot. It needs some tweaking, for sure.

No....just no...I hope your joking there are already enough threads talking about lag (which I still haven't experienced on my s4)
But yeah...once we get some roms cooking I'm sure devs will give us some better lockscreens...and probably even port the s3 lockscreen over
