Shortcuts on lock screen - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've tried to find this in settings but have had no luck. Does the VZW lock screen have this option? In Settings-> Security, I have no lock screen option.
Running stock rooted 4.1.2. Thanks!

Do you have Settings/Lock Screen? It should be there I think on VRBMB1. I'm on a custom rom so I'm not sure how much is changed. Or maybe even under Settings/Display?

Settings > Lock screen > Lock screen options > Shortcuts (touch the text not the switch)

I do.........but it's only available if Swipe Lock is active - which I don't use. I only use pattern lock.
So you can have lock screen shortcuts unless you swipe on the lock screen?

Make sure to select secure lock with swipe in the lockscreen settings. Then shortcuts should work with security.
Note the option does not show itself until after you've set your pattern or pin

Not interested in having to unlock my phone twice.
That is the most ridiculous set-up I've seen. Is that Samsung standard or VZW?

To have shortcuts on the lock screen, and NOT have to swipe, then pattern unlock.

But if it's not swipe then unlock, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a lock at all ? Also it's not swipe to unlock. Its swipe to select the app then it goes to lock.

What's your rom? How do you disable default lock?
maybe they're using custom rom
i ever get that problem too
although i disable the lock screen it always come the regular lockscreen
maybe you can ask developer rom that you use
btw if you want triple lockscreen you can add pin/password lockscreen

Transparent lock screen on top of home screen after fixing permissions in ROM manager

Transparent lock screen on top of home screen after fixing permissions in ROM manager...how to fix this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
While I cannot tell you how to permanently fix this, I can tell you it happens to me as well. I guess for now we must go re-choose the lockscreen wallpaper whenever we fix permissions.
Adb pull framework-res and change the default lock wallpaper and the keyguard wallpaper to ones of your choosing. They are in res/hdpi.
How to fix lock screen glitch?
Hey guys.
Quick question. Hope this is a good forum for this question. Hopefully someone has the answer that I have overlooked.
Lockmenu is a very cool lock screen app(to me, anyway. I'm a noob so...). Gives very quick access from the lock screen to whatever apps you wish. Sort of like Shortcuts, but directly from a lock screen.
My problem is when I unlock from the main Unlock Slider on the bottom left, it takes me to the default lock screen on my Skyrocket.
How do I disable the default system lock screen?
There is no option in the settings to disable the default lock screen for those of you who might think its that simple.
Anyone else having this problem?
I have tried the Nolock app first to disable the default system lock screen, but...
So in other words I go through two lock screens most of the time. Once in awhile it will unlock to the home screen from the Lockmenu Unlock Slider as it is supposed to.
I'm running ICS rooted on Galaxy Skyrocket.
Any help is much appreciated.

What do you want it to be? The slider?
Some ROMs have an option to show the slider on a secure lockscreen. Can't remember if CM does.

Settings, (Personalization) Lock Screen, Screen Lock, put PIN in, choose Pattern. If you use an Exchange e-mail account this will be disabled due to Exchange policy.

If it's in the rom its usually in settings > Security and there should be an option, something like "show slider before secure unlock".

Maybe CM doesn't have an option. Not all ROMs have all features.

Lock Screen Alternatives That Work

Does anyone know of any lock screen alternatives that work well with the Mate 9.
I've tried a few but I've ended up with the new lock screen on top of the Mate 9 default one as i also can't find a way to disable the default lock screen.

i'm using an app called Floatify; it's more for notifications, but gives you the ability to use its lock screen as well. nothing fancy, there are a few customization options (clock style, wallpaper, clock size, position). i don't recall the stock lock screen interfering/appearing before the Floatify lock screen. (could be happening and i haven't see it). the pic below is using the Floatify lock screen and notifications (you can customize color/font/size of notifications).

Thanks for the suggestion and Floatify looks good but when I switch the phone on, I briefly get an image of the Huawei lock screen before it gets covered up but Floatify. Do you know how to fully disable the Huawei lock screen so it never appears?
Thanks for your help.

I think I didn't have this problem with the Next lockscreen.
But I stopped using it since it is so fast to login with fingerprint reader

unfortunately, i don't know how to completely disable the lock screen. did you disable the "magazine" lock screen? i disabled the "magazine" lock screen on my device and i see the Floatify lock screen when waking via the power button or fingerprint. i'll pay closer attention to see if the stock lock screen is actually appearing and i'm not noticing it.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I can't see a way to disable the Magazine lock. In Lock Screen Style, I can only see the Magazine lock and no way to select another or un-select Magazine lock. Any help very much appreciated.

hey, sorry about lack of clarity with my reply. i forgot to mention that i installed a theme named "Pure Black 1.5.2" and under Screen lock & passwords->Screen lock style, i chose Pure Black 1.5.2 as the lock screen (vs Magazine unlock). i also disabled "use" of the Magazine pictures on the lock screen by removing the checkmarks (Screen lock & passwords->Magazine unlock). i've been paying closer attention to my lock screen and the Floatify lock screen has appeared every time the device awakens to display notifications and/or if i press the power button to manually check for notifications. hope this helps and apologies for leaving out the additional steps.

Is there another way to lock our divice yet?

Hello guys,
is there a another way to lock our S8's instead of using the power button with gestures or apps?
I'll tried several apps like double tap to lock, but these kind of apps blocked the face unlock an fingerprint scanner.
It would be cool, if we could lock it with a hard press on the homebutton or long hold on the finger scanner!
Have a good one
Nova launcher, and Apex both have tap to lock and they don't mess with the fingerprint. Theres also an app I used a lot but idk if it will mess with the fingerprint. Invisible lock wigget

All in One Gestures lets you lock the screen with taps to the status bar or navigation bar. I have mine set so that a double-tap to the left end of the navigation bar locks the phone.
The only downside is that third-party locking solutions make the phone lock fully, so your PIN/password is required to unlock it. You can't use your fingerprint or the iris scanner to unlock it again until your PIN/password has been entered.
Yep when enabled in nova you get 2 options.
