Does anybody know how to remove the stock sense widget on the lockscreen? I can put my own widgets on other pages but I can't remove the stock sense widget on the main page. Frustrating. Does anybody know how to do this? Or is it possible? I want to use dash clock.
I am curious about this as well and have not been able to find any info about altering the lock screen widget as stated above.
same here. Would like to get that nonsense off my lockscreen
I saw a post in another thread with a screenshot of a very clean lock screen, I have not found it yet though.

If you find it let us know. It might have been for a custom ROM, since the lock screen on stock in blinkfeed based I would assume flashing a ROM and not running blinkfeed would allow the us to change this BUT ideally I want to stay stock (with s-off/root) if I can, so here's hoping something can be worked out.

You should be aware that to use SlideLock you'll need to go to Settings > Security > No Lock Screen, or you'll slide your LS and then the Sense one is right underneath. Also, music controls don't work with SlideLock at this time.

I downloaded this and tried it too and the first thing I did notice was that it was just running over the default lock screen which is what I was hoping to avoid by just altering the default one to suite my needs. It is clean and simple though and I cant imagine it causing too much slow down, a lot of the options are locked though for a pro version that costs $2.73.

Unfortunately I cannot set that due to outlook group policy at my firm. However, after the first two times or so the original lock screen that was behind slide lock is now gone, which is great and unexpected. I will go to the official thread and look for this answer now but how can I disable wifi notifications on the lock screen? I blacklisted "system" and only allow a few apps but this continues to pop up, sometimes more than a handful at at a time.

the system checkbox is only whether you can edit whether or not you can see system apps in the view. Turn that checkbox on and select uncheck all then turn on what you need.

Click the system apps checkbox back on. Click the menu again and uncheck all. Click system apps checkbox off and then pick the apps you want to see notifications for again. I had the same problem

I noticed that a lot of folks do not like that screen capture button. As I was running through the settings, I noticed that you can turn it off in settings, screen, quick launch. You can make the button do something else there. Now if someone can figure out a way to make the icons smaller on the stock browser I'd be set.

Yeah, don't see any such option in Screen shipped OS version.
I am on KL3. I didn't like kk1 because it made it even harder to write to the external sd

I've noticed that Android 5.0 allows to change many system settings (enable/disable WiFi/BlueTooth/Autorotate/etc) on its Lock Screen without entering any password.
I hate this liberty.
Does anyone have any idea how to disable this feature?
I cannot find anything in settings.

I too cannot believe this was left as a feature... I was hoping that would be fixed in the final version.

This is actually a security issue.

I agree but there's nothing in android. 3rd party lock screen is the only way.
a fix for this would be good, as anyone can just pick up your phone and change any of the quick settings without unlocking it.
So you would not be able to track the phone if it got nicked and someone just stuck it in airplane mode!

does it matter if airplane mode is in quick settings or the main setting? if they want to steal your phone and put it into airplane mode, they will do it regardless if its in quick settings or the main settings. its stuff that you yourself use often that will appear in quick settings. i personally think its a great feature.

But they should not be able to do it while the phone is locked. At very least we should have the option of what should be accessible without unlocking the phone.

even if they were not in the quick settings, you can still pull down the notification bar while in the lockscreen, and go into the main settings. so, everything there is available to any thief.

Heck, I'm not even worried about the security situation with this, I just want to disable it because I think it is extremely poorly executed!
It offers nothing that power toggles doesn't, and is not even configurable for what options are present. I never use auto-rotate, cast screen, invert colors, etc, and yet, those options are available instantly!

They can also just remove the sim card or turn it off.
What I am looking for, is for the only possible thing you can do, while the phone is locked, is enter the password. Is there a way to set that up? Not be able to toggle any settings at all or remove the quick settings(I am ok with the emergency calling and camera widget, since you can't access the pictures on the phone until entering the password). I know they could still remove the sim or power off the phone but at least it might buy some more time if your phone gets stolen for you to track it or snap a pic of the thief. It would be nice if you could also disable the power menu and volume buttons while on the lock screen.
For now, until other solution is found or developed, you can go to notification settings and in 'When device is locked' change the setting to 'Hide sensitive notification content'. This disables access to quick settings from the lock screen but also hides titles of notifications, so you will see the notifications for emails, texts etc., but their content will be hidden.
This doesn't work. Well, if you have root and xposed you can install "Advanced Power Menu" to control the power menu on lockscreen etc and with GravityBox you can control the items on the quick settings. But I still couldn't figure out a way to totally disable it on the lockscreen.
As I remember the "X posed" Module "Notification Mod" could do exactly this. Problem is: It seems that development is discontinued and the stable ver1.2 doesn't (on my lollipop custom rom) work on 5.x

I am seeing this in my new Samsung S7 edge... with finger print and password lock.... it is not there on S5 with finger print and password lock... its a silly feature... why would they turn it on ? My son just put my phone in airplane mode accidentaly.... and I kept wondering why no messages and calls for the whole weekend.... hate to think what it would be like if it happened to someone who was say, on a on-call emergency personnel or something like that.... no one would be able to reach out to them.... I guess now have to keep checking my phone every hour.... hahahaha... or maybe go back to using my S5.. if someone has a solution to this pls share... appreciate it.
No way to disable access to quiick settings on lock screen on unrooted Android M....
Try the Market anyway,
One solution for me on Android 6.01 was to disable WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Mobile Data from Quick Settings using Systen UI Tuner in Settings then downloaded Settings Extended app at the Market and moved all mentioned in SE's Notification Shortcut. Don't forget to enable "HIDE LOCK SCREEN NOTIFICATION" in Preferences which is the objective of all this anyway. So don't forget to ｃｌｉｃｋ this.
You can even disable everything in Quick Settings and instead put them all in SE Notification as Shortcuts. What's great about SE is that its Notification gets the icon color/shade/background color/color when toggled etc. perfectly in Android 6. Exactly the same. It looks like its really part of the Notification Screen except that there's that horizontal gap that separates the notifications and makes the screen fiddle faddle.
Try it anyway. It might be your only hope against lock screen vulnerability in unrooted Android 6.0 phones.

I have the same problem with my S7. Its weird that you cant change the wifi or bluetooth without unlocking the phone but when you select mobile data or airplane mode you can turn that off from the lockscreen so when your phone gets stolen, the thief can so easy turn that off that there is no way to trace your phone. Why do they even call this a smart phone while its so dumb?

I must apologise first, I’m not a nerdy-head about android, but I was thinking about my new phone (upgraded to A7) and your question is one that I sought out for answers.
In Nougat, I logged in as Guest and used a pin for the user so that a ‘guest’ can’t access the Guest account without my permission.
Then comes you’re question.
You can remove all the worrisome quick start icons from your quick settings (probably leave flashlight). Then use a 3rd party app (Notification Toggle is mine) which isn’t available to a user from a protected login.
As I’ve never had a lollypop viable phone I’m afraid another user might need to help you with a more detailed method for A5.
Hope it helps somewhat. As an old 8080 machine code programmer, it was always about solving problems and then working the bugs out. I'm not even sure how to post on these - socially thingy’s.
This issue it's still there in Nougat, so before it is passed on to Android O, we have to POPULARIZE this issue so they(Android developers) know how big of a pain in the ass it is. I'm posting the complaints to every forum, magazine, fan page, etc. When it's on the social media, they have to do something. This issue has survived because people don't want their friends to know about it, coz it's partly embarrassing...
Some time back my One M8 started showing lunch or meal-time recommendations. I disabled it back then - annoying as hell. Anyhow it came back, again! If I remember correctly the setting to disable was in Blinkfeed settings even though it is probably HTC Lock Screen. Oddly enough I don't even use Blinkfeed (hate it) and I even use Nova launcher instead. Regardless I temporarily switch back to the HTC launcher so I can get to the Blinkfeed settings again. There is an option to disable "interest based ads" or something to that effect. I checked the box and exited settings and went back to Nova launcher.
Sure enough today at lunch time it was showing suggestions again! I hate that! I'll try to get a screenshot of it next time. But is anybody else getting that, too? If so how do I disable that (without resorting to installing a 3rd party ROM)?

You have to disable it in Blinkfeed's settings. This can explain it better than I can.
Turn off the HTC Lock Screen Mealtime Recommendations
I already did that. I can only guess that HTC moved the setting to a different place and reenabled it so they can serve ads again. Anyhow I think I found the setting. I grabbed some screenshots and well document it later in case they are bugged by it, like me.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Okay here are the screenshots I grabbed. It looks like they may have rearranged the settings a little bit, which led to my confusion. Anyhow I seem to have it straightened out now.
1. There's a picture of the lock screen with a suggestion for Starbucks.
2. Then there is the setting I mistakenly thought was for disabling the lock-screen suggestions - it is the one with Turn off interest based ads. I did check that but that was not it.
3. The one in particular is the one with Mealtime Recommendations. I think that was in a different location before
4. To get to either of those options you have to get into the Blinkfeed settings. Those are under Choose Highlight Topics and Manage Ads
Looking at the link you provided is close but, as I said, they seemed to have done some rearranging. Hope this helps somebody.
The instructions to enable system ui tuner on the web don't appear to be working...holding down the sprocket on the toggle screen till it spins doesn't enable the menu...anyone else know how to get to it?
Also still looking for a way (non xposed) to assign long hold of back button to kill foreground app.
Should say system UI tuner added to settings after holding for about 5 seconds.

For me also it worked.
I finally got the thing to appear and I'm still not certain how...I think marshmallow is much more picky about the touchscreen and the glass screen protector I have on it....taps are not being interpreted right all the time....anyway thanks for confirming. Ironically by the time I enabled the menu I had already enabled xposed and found ways to set all the things I woul d have been able to do from system ui.
In case anyone is wondering the best combination of settings I've found is:
Face unlock - Slide to unlock
Smart lock screen notifications - On
Wake up device - On
Now go to Notification management, Batch management, hit the 3 dots:
Hide content notification - On
Now enjoy notifications whenever you pick up your screen. Swipe up to unlock or swipe notifications away. If anyone else picks up your phone, they can see notifications but not content.
Hope you find this useful.
I don't recommend using AOD ... as of current firmware, position of everything is totally static. Could be susceptible to burn in.

OMG, thank you very much dude.

That can't be right? I am sure I remember seeing mine move?
OK after placing a ruler on the text I can confirm the text does move. It moves down a few pixels every minute jump until about half way down the screen, and then back up again every few minutes.
+1, it does move just like Samsung AOD
I like your setup! I had auto face unlock before but it's actually useful to be able to see the lock screen a lot of the time (like a 'whats new' screen).
I find that whatever lock screen notification access setting I use, notification content is restricted on the lock screen until I show my face. Is this a known bug? Or am I doing something wrong? At the moment I can't even, for example, let my friend skip a track on Spotify from my lock screen.

I'm facing this problem too, i have all APPs and even notification settings to show content on lockscreen but they don't show up. What's the trick in here??!! I'm wasted of going around on this 1000000 (sub)menus for the solution but nothing, it doesn't show the content on lockscreen.
Is this related to face unlock? Or is it something else? It's my first Huawei phone, i'm still trying to figure out everything to make this beast run as i want.

For me:
Settings -> security & privacy -> face unlock -> "smart lock screen notifications" set to OFF. Else enabling face unlock breaks notifications.
On a related note, I've also disabled Huawei's power optimisation nonsense with the batch mode. Oreo does a good job of managing background stuff by itself and this nonsense just breaks everything.
i have the same problem as above....ive tried everything....very strange!
My smart lock screen notifications is set of off btw
No app notifications are showing on lock screen

Ok so I posted this problem originally and the solution suggested by stevo_125 worked for me!
Basically you need to do two things:
- Turn off smart lock screen notifications in Face Unlock
- Turn on show notifications on lock screen from the three dot menu in notification management
Then go back and make sure they are still both set correctly.

Both are there..its very strange..i went through all the menus so many times
must be some kind of bug
The only thing which is killing me, is that you are not able to read the whole notifications in the unlock screen.. Just a few words.
I've just asked to support and they told me "not phone features"
