I tried to search for answer to this but could not find it for the verizon samsung galaxy s3. Is there any way to have a weather widget with a pin code locked screen after the 4.3 update. I know it's possible if you turn off security and just do swype but is it possible to have that with a pin code locked screen?

Only way I'd see you able to do it, is if you're running a custom rom and set the lockscreen target to minimized.

I have the same question. When I was running 4.1.2, I had the weather and shortcuts to gmail app, text messaging, camera on the lockscreen. When I swiped up on an app shortcut, a security lockscreen would show up (in my case it was a pattern lockscreen). After entering the pattern, I would go directly to the app that I selected.
Don't see that setting option on 4.3.

Hey XDA,
As of yesterday I'm back on Android! I switched out my iPhone 4s for a Nexus 5, it's good to be back.
Is there a way to get notifications and widgets on the lockscreen when using the PIN unlock? Because of security requirements for my work I have to use PIN unlock.
I'm rooted and switched to using ART.
Thanks!
If you aren't running a custom ROM which has lock screen notifications built in... Another way is xposed module notification mod which allows you to pull down notification tray when secure locked

The Slidelock app seems to be able to do what I want. I am running ART so I can't use Xposed.
Hey guys, I just got a Note Edge (loving it btw) and was wondering if there are any lock screen replacements with decent notification features (like Snaplock) that also allows unlocking by fingerprint? I quite like the look of the normal TouchWiz lock screen so something like the DashClock Widget would be perfect since it adds notifications by way of widgets instead of a whole lock screen replacement but I just found out that TouchWiz doesn't allow widgets on the lock screen apart from the default digital clock. Can someone offer some suggestions? Either a lock screen replacement that allows fingerprint scanning or some way to allow widgets on the lock screen after I root it. Thanks a lot!
Go setting....lock screen...under screen lock select finger print.

It's already built into the phone and works great for me. I also like how when using PayPal you can swipe your fingerprint to pay. Can't wait till you can lock different apps with the fingerprint, this would be super useful.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. I've already registered 3 fingerprints and they work quite well in the lock screen (a lot better than what I had read from some accounts prior to purchasing the phone). What I would like is to have notifications on my lock screen like what you'd get on an iPhone or through lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next Lock Screen. The problem is, when I turn on one of these lock screen replacements in the settings, I get two lock screens. First the replacement lock screen appears with all the notifications and then after unlocking that through either swiping/pattern/pin (they don't support fingerprints), I get the system lock screen which allows me to use my fingerprint. Of course, I can just turn off the system lock screen but like I said, the other lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next don't support fingerprints.

How can u set up paypal?
With the upgrade to Lollipop, you can now get notifications to show on the lock screen (Settings > Device > Sound and Notifications). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow widgets to be used on the secure (fingerprint, PIN, pass, etc.) lock screens, so I am unable to put a weather widget on my lock screen. And since I have a corporate Exchange email account set up on my phone i can't opt-out of using a secure lock screen.
Like all of the other unfortunate AT&T customers that purchased a Note Edge, I got screwed over without the ability to root my device. I would really like to set my phone up the way I want it, as it should be.
And while i'm *****ing, why can't Samsung set up one of their Edge panels (briefing maybe?) to wake the edge screen and display notifications for SMS messages? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that be an ideal function to have with the edge screen? It's nice that they will allow sms notifications on the main lock screen now via lollipop, but why not put them on the edge screen where they should be on a device such as this?
If i'm missing something and there are ways to resolve my two complains please feel free to fill me in.

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get my phone to update to Lollipop so maybe that will solve everything. I have a factory unlocked phone bought in Australia so from what I read, the update should've rolled out ages ago but it never seems to see it. Anyways, I'm downloading the update manually now via sammobile so let's see!

Totally agree with you. Even if we don't get whole text messages scrolled across the Edge screen, at least light up a few pixels there to show us there that there are notifications waiting. I have a cover that doesn't allow me to see the notification light next to the logo but has a slit cut out for the Edge so that would be perfect.
Hi Guys,
I have been trying to to add some widgets to the lock screen but cannot see the option do so. The main idea is to display the alarm along with the native clock icon and see the calendar events without having to unlock the device. I treid next lock screen but the behavior seemed a bit weird and I would like widgets on the stock lock screen itself. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks in advance.
Nope, no way to do that unfortunately. I don't think lock screen widgets have been a feature since 4.2

Any way to reply from the lock screen with the stock messages app?

Haven't tried it but I'm pretty sure that you will need to disable hide sensitive data on lockscreen, maybe the possibly you could do that
I can find the setting to show notifications on the lock screen but nothing to reply from lock screen.
I haven't been able to find a way either. The ADB method doesn't work as well.

I was just about to post this lol. https://www.xda-developers.com/enab...ckscreen-on-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-running-nougat/
It works by default for me as long as I expand the notification. I use Textra now, but it worked with the default app as well.
Did you have your passcode or biometrics setup? When I expand the message on the lock screen it just prompts me to enter my passcode or scan iris.
I use Textra and can reply from the "normal" lockscreen but not from the Always on Display screen. I know that I used to be able to do this on my AT&T S7 Edge but can no longer do it on AOD on my AT&T S8+.
It works out of the box lol...just expand and you'll have 3 options call-mark as read-reply....
Hey guys i cant seem to be able to change my lockscreen on my s7 running nougat. I installed acDisplay and it worked but would then go to the samsung lockscreen. Any one know how to disable or change it. On other phones there was an option for this in default apps this phone doesnt have this.
Thanks in Advance.
I have a related question: I have an app that changes my wallpaper every day, but it doesn't change the lock screen wallpaper. In previous android phones there was a setting to have the lock screen be whatever the home screen is, how do I accomplish this on Galaxy S7?
