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

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.

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

Does anybody have a means of getting the same.lockscreen a the one used in the yeti and cydogenmod roms. I love the lockscreen that are used in these roms more specifically the lockscreen that had the lock on the left side of the screen that you swipe to the right to unlock and the sound button that swipes to the left. Anyways I have tried everything but I cannot seem to get that lockscreen on my phone. Does anyone have just the lockscreen apk that I can just flash . Someone please help.
Thanks

There is already a thread that discusses this. No. you must wait for a ROM with this otherwise a home replacement app is your best bet.

Well I was able to get it somewhat working but the screen layout is funky (see pic) is there a way to fix it

it can, and will eventually be done i'm sure.

Is there any kind of app that uses a password where u can draw your password..
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I would think that would be a bad idea... I mean no one can draw the same 2 things EXACTLY the same. Then if you allow for it being off by a bit. then how much till it accepts "close enough" as the password. Might be something quiet a bit diff and you can still get in. and even little things like drawing it to the left of the center a little bit will throw it off and such. Might be initially not a bad idea... but i could see it as working out to be something very hard to code. I personally always liked the idea of taking a pic of yourself and it logging you in like that....but you would probably run into similar problems as above
I could see this working...similar to gesture search. The lock could be like the letter A and all you would have to draw is the letter A. So just like gesture search recognizes what is the letter A it unlocks, instead of searches. Umm. Copyrights on this idea. You all seen it.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
It would be nice, if the App is not shown in "Recent Apps" (long press home and statusbar).
Is it possible?
Yeah I meant something like gestures on the homescreen to unlock... it would be cool lol

**EDIT: NM....noticed that you already have.
I have used search..All morning. Not getting any useful answers using search so I asked. So anyone know how to remove stock lock screen? I heard that for some phones deleting the clock will also delete ur music app and mess up regular clock...hmm
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
is there any app out there that would keep my screen awake to display a clock, (ideally with alert for new text message and calls) and not drain the battery too much? Nokia phone used to have the feature and my friend's Nokia 603 supports it too. i wonder if there is an app on Android as well.
Cheers!
What about leaving screen on and using the native "clock" app? Lol beautiful and built in ...

leaving screen would not let my phone sleep and terminate unnecessary apps. plus not to mention i would have to turn brightness to zero every time i want to leave my phone, and it would be prone to touch as well!
I think alarm clock extreme has that feature.

Open clock- press and hold screen. Idk what the difference is.. I guess I'm confused how you want a clock with screen on and not be prone to touch ???

I believe NoLED on the market has that and gives you notification options as well.

I've provided pics but this mysterious buuble keeps appearing at random, at the bottom of the screen yo. its some sort of pull up app drawer. I can't figure out how it keeps popping up or how to tremove it hahaha not trying to be funny anymore! its annoying. gets In the way of the keyboard and whatnot.
this must be a feature of beans ROM, I'm thinking. I dunno tho, a Google search came up with nothing.

Bingo! Tap that bubble and move an app to either the top or bottom of the screen and use two apps at once.

It can be moved around too. It doesn't have to stay on the bottom.

hold back to get rid of it.
it's multiwindows ported from the note2, I find it completely useless and hate it as I use longpress back to kill apps, I can use menu button instead, but i will NEVER use the "feature" on this phone.
it sucks that rom devs are including it in ROMs, I'd much rather not see it at all or just have it as an add-on instead of forcing it on us.
I honestly never feel the need to have 2 apps open taking up half the screen each, I can just do one at a time, but I can see how it could be nice on the note II with the s-pen.
I did order a bunch of cheapy pens that work on the phone its pretty cool, but the multiwindow feature, garbage.
