1) Is there a way to lock or freeze the lockscreen widgets / scrolling once set? *
2) Can I disable the side swiping/sliding to open the camera ONLY above the camera icon? In other words, I want to be able to access the lock screen camera but only by swiping from the bottom where the camera icon is, not anywhere above it.
*This is really difficult for me to search and find because "how to lock lock screen" and "how to freeze lock screen" obviously come up with something I am not looking for. I want to be able to enable widgets on my lock screen but disable the ability to add more once I set the one I want. I don't want to be able to scroll to the big plus, but I want a widget so I don't want to just disable the feature. How can I do this?

I already realized this is most likely more of a possibility on a custom ROM, however, not only do I really enjoy my stock setup ATM, I don't feel like changing for two features (I will though).
That being said, there are tons of ROMs with tons of features. Do you know of any ROMs that have exactly what I am requesting (while still keeping the simple practical sleek look of stock)? I don't have the time to flash ROMs all day searching so I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who knows this information could share it with me.
And I do mean exactly. I don't want to flash a custom ROM just to get half the ability I'm requesting. Please let me know, thank you.

I'm sick of the "drag screen to unlock" screen and I'm looking for something more like the unlock screen from the newest Cyanowiz ROM, especially because it's pretty convenient to have a loud/silent drag switch on the lockscreen.
I was wondering if there are any flashable zip files that allow me to put this (or a similar) lockscreen on my current ROM, which I'm very happy with (TPC v3).
Thanks!
go locker has themed, or any other alternative lock app

I use widgetlocker, works pretty well for me and there's a ton of support for it.

I concur. There's also a root helper mode which will replace your unlock screen on reboot. It's really handy, and mostly bug free. I really enjoy being able to slap widgets on my lock screen too. On top of that, you can select what kind of unlock action you want, and what swipes do what. Etc.
I'm running the SkyICS rom with the ICS lockscreen and one thing I love is that there is the option to either unlock the phone or to directly open the camera app, which is handy because very often I'm getting my phone for the sole purpose of taking a picture. I was wondering, is there any way to customize or has anyone made a customized lockscreen that has other apps available on it? I'd like to have a lockscreen where depending on where/how you swiped you could go directly to camera or sms or the web browser or the general unlock. Does such an app/mod exist, or is there a way to do it manually?
Thanks
Edit: Apparently I forgot the original bit of advice before "Search is your friend" is "GOOGLE is your friend." Looks like WidgetLocker LockScreen may be a good option. Before I throw down $2.99, is that what I'm looking for? Also, can we confirm that it works well with ICS?
I use Widget Locker and, if you have a few tasks you do consistently and don't want to open up the phone to access everything, then it's very useful. It does work with ICS, but if you're just interested in being able to open the camera it's not worth the money. It's worth it if you want to access more features at once, like the dialer & e-mail & SMS & camera because it's very customize-able.
I use Widget Locker as well. Works great, very customizable (especially with all of the themes available here)
Well worth it if you want to truly make your lockscreen your own. I've combined it with Missed It so I can see texts/calls/emails at a glance.
I'm using ViperXL, I love that i can use the AOSP Lockscreen, but i miss some of the functionality the sense lockscreen gives me, is there some way to regain some of it? at least the shortcuts, I know that in the features list it says that i can do it, but i have tried several ways, like customizing the icons for the sense lockscreen an then disabling it, with no luck. Does anyone know how to do it? BTW I'm not posting this in the ViperXL thread because I don't have enough posts to ask in a developer forum, and i don't feel like spamming. Thanks.
I use WidgetLocker for this.

I don't like lockscreen apps for 2 reasons
1 they never work properly, every LS replacement i've tried appears after a glimpse of the homescreen and are kinda slower
2 they rarely look good and work at the same time
I've been spending a while now trying to see if this feature exists via maybe a rooted app or an xposed module but I may be looking in the wrong places so I decided to ask here.
I'm looking for a way to open apps in the lock scree. Just like how you can make calls, navigate, and take pictures in the lock screen, I want to be able to open apps the same way.
For example, I have the hangout widget, all it does is show you the text and when i click on it, I have to unlock my phone to use the app. Why can't it open and then immediately go to the lock screen. I maybe slightly vulnerable then but I personally chose that by having that widget there. Does a feature like this exist?
Hello everybody,
First of all, Big thanks for all the comunity for the outstanding job :good:
I am an owner of S7 Edge international version and also a Oneplus One (I will explain why I'm mentionning that). On the OPO, I experienced the Sailfish OS and it's a unique experience. What is really interesting is that this OS is swipe and gesture based and I consider that this will suites more the S7 edge because of the edges of the screen. The functions that I would like to import are :
- The swipe and gesture of course (I think that there are already apps who can do that so it's not a problem).
- A minimalist experience with just the Locksreen, Main screen with tiles of all the running apps (Like in Huawei P8 for example) and App drawer.
- A page with notification feed to replace OR in addition to the Notification drawer.
Due to the fact that I have 0 experience in coding and not enough time because of my professionnal life, I would like to know if there is a Launcher (I already searched) or an app or Xposed module that could do that.
How about Nova launcher pro?
I use the swype down for notification bar and swype up for settings. Also double tap to sleep (but you need to use root there! If not your fingerprint unlock wont work correctly and you always have to use the pin code)

After rooting the device, what did you do for the fingerprint unlock to work after double-tapped sleep? Any extra steps?
What exactly do you want to do by gestures? There are powerful apps like GMD gesture control etc. I personally use glove box as appdrawer/multitasking tool by a swipe from the edge accessible from everywhere and as mentioned above swipe down for notifications and swipe up for standard appdrawer in Nova launcher. That's all I need to keep my homescreen clean and speed up the work flow.
Please take a look at Sailfish OS to understand what I meant especially for the notification page. I can't post a link yet due to the rules but a quick search on youtube is enough.

I use nova and greenify : in the nova settings I make sure that a double tap hibernate apps and turn off the screen (with greenify option in nova). I also use the alternative screen off mode in the greenify settings.
So when I double tap, the screen turns off, and then I can unlock it directly with my fingerprint

If you use double tap to wake the normal way and have unlock issues go to:
Settings / device security / other security settings (at the bottom) / device administrator
Untick nova launcher and try to lock it with double tap.
It should now ask you if you want to do it with root.

If you want a minimalistic look the only app I know is KLWP.
But it won't be the same.
The last advice I can give you if you find nothing with the search is post your question in the Apps section http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games.
There are a hundred times more people around.
