Hi there,
I've been really happy with my Nexus 5 since buying it in February, but I've always been jealous of those notifications iPhone users get on their lockscreen... So I decided to look at many different lockscreen apps. However, and I've found this issue multiple times with Widgetlocker, SlideLock, etc. After installing, the apps work like normal; my stock lock screen is disabled and the other shows up in its place. But after a while, seemingly random, the lockscreen app fails to show the screen, and I often have to flip it on and off or even reinstall it to get it to show up again... Has anyone else had this problem and possibly knows of a solution? I'm running a rooted factory ROM. Thanks in advance!

Hmm...I was really hoping for more of a solution to the problem than a way to avoid it, but if that's what I have to do I guess I'll do it.

Well, seems like app issues. No one here can really help with that. You'd need to go to app website or email the makers.

Try this if you don't want a custom ROM. Rather than "replacing" the default lockscreen with an app it overlays on top. You'll also need to install this first but do not add it as a Lockscreen Widget since NiLS Floating Panel overlays over the lockscreen without needing the Widget.

**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

I was wondering if anyone has come across this before. Instead of having to slide to unlock I can touch the screen anywhere and it simply unlocks the phone. I want to have to slide to unlock. I have not installed any kind of 3rd party lock screen app. I have the HTC One. I do have a custom ROM but I have not altered any of the lock screen settings.
Thanks for the help all!
Cheers

Unfortunately not. Still searching the web and hoping someone on these forums has a solution. If I do manage to find a fix, I'll post it here. Please do the same
Can't find anything on the web. Funny enough everything out there explains how to make this work via apps. I know this problem has nothing to do with an app.
Fixed it.
For me it was the pebble app. I turned off it's accesability option.
Check accessability on you phone under settings, see if anything is enabled that could be causing it. Worth a shot. Worked for me.

Nice man! For me it was the light flow app. So that sucks. I wonder why that causes the lock screen to behave that way.

Now just have to figure out why the apps don't want to play nice with the lock screen.
Are you running a custom ROM or still on stock?

I posted a similar question myself and was redirected here. I had Tasker and Pebble in the accessibility menu and my slide to unlock became touch to unlock. It would be nice to know why the apps dont play because now I have to choose between having Pebble and Pebble notifier send stuff to my watch, or actually having slide to unlock...

Definitely would like an explanation as well if someone out there has one.
No idea why an app could cause the lock screen to completely misbehave like that.
Can't find anything online either.

Custom. ARHD 7.3 w/ a faux kernel
When my nexus boots up, it has a lockscreen. The moment I get a notification (email, voice mail, etc) my lockscreen disappears and never reappears when I turn my screen on until I reset the whole phone. I have screen lock slide selected under the security section. Anyone have ideas?

I posted above in my thread what I was doing wrong: I messed myself up! I have the No Lock app it turns out that it was somehow set so locking was disabled. Re-enabling locking fixed this problem and solved my hours of wasted time.
Going through some threads it seems most dont experience any lag so im wondering what the problem could be in my case i sometimes notice slight lags when opening/closing app drawer, switching to quick settings, opening/closing apps (turned off animations so not really a problem now) and a few other instances is this normal? it got quite bad so i unrooted it and locked bootloader then unlocked and re-rooted and at the moment i am on stock rom, stock launcher and faux123 stable mainline 11 kernel
Glad I'm not the only one. Do the apps include any of the following: Timely, YouTube?

yes youtube does lag a little infact quite a few apps do although i just assumed this was more to do with the apps than the phone itself?

hopefully it is something that an android update will fix soon as its not just apps for me its everywhere but not all the time, i was wondering if its the custom kernel im using? Hopefully it isn't as i cant change the gamma values in stock kernel so that is the main reason for me flashing a custom one

Doubt it's your kernel. I'm running stock and suffering as well :/ It could also be a defect, some run fine others don't. Same with the same speaker issue, some newer owners especially the red ones claim it sounds better as the old ones.

Try switching to ART runtime, it seems to be much smoother. Im using Franco's kernel with a lot of downgrading in setup and yet I don't experience lags.
I did think about switching to ART but to be honest i dont want to lose anything in terms of stability but hopefully soon it will become part of an update so if lag is normal on dalvik now i dont mind waiting i just wanted to see if its normal or im doing something wrong

I'm sure that the problem could be around some settings with faux kernel. I use it too but recommended settings foe nexus 5 seem to cause some lag for everyone as it's more for saving battery life...
You might nee to play with some settings there Like governor and Hotplug.

I have already turned off animations for transition animation scales but when i turned off the rest it looked weird so turned them back on, i didn't understand 'Sorry cut the last 2out the 3 to 0ff and speed first'
Another thing i forgot to mention is when i unrooted/went back to stock i let the apps auto update and straight after i noticed there was lag when opening app drawer so i uninstalled all the updates and it fixed itself has anyone else had this happen? I have had to set the apps to never auto update now

Installing updates from Play doesn`t make the phone laggy unless there is a problem with an app or some apps. Rebooting after installing updates clears most problems most of the time.

Install BetterBatteryStatts for unusual app behaviour which is most likely the reason of your phone lagging.

Okay i have noticed this weird problem since quite some time...There is this weird delay, of about a duration just less than a second, i face between my tap on the recent apps button and that action's actual output...Often this delay dissappears but the animations which take you into the recent apps window remain unbearably choppy...Everything else like opening apps, scrolling, playing games,etc seems to work just fine...I faced this issue with the stock GPE rom on my XT1033 and a bunch of custom roms like cm11 , NX5 experience and gummy...I tried using custom kernels to fix the issue but to no avail...I was wondering whether it is a bug or a general delay which everybody is facing or whether i am expecting too much from our device...
Any answers/solutions would be appreciated...

It's all dependant on the amount of apps installed and stuff. If you have a lot of background processing, there might be a delay.

Well even if only one background app is running, i face this frustrating problem...I dont think that our phone is so weak that it takes ages to show one running app and give me choppy animations specifically and exclusively in this task which compels me to believe that there is something wrong and i have thus created this thread...Help would be highly appreciated...

I have put them on 0.5x too but to no avail
this might help
In my case it was an app called the smart app locker that creates this bug.....uninstalled it n everything's back to normal.
