[Q] Cyanogen OS 12 lock screen? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So updated today and I don't like the looks of the new lock screen. It's totally transparent. Can anyone pull the lock screen of the CM12 NIGHTLIES to replace it?

Me too. Can't seem to change the default lock screen... Weird... Any solutions?

Go to 'settings'>'themes' and click on the spanner icon and scroll down, you should be able to set the lockscreen wallpaper.

Thanks. I did just that, but after I chose a new image it did not show on the lock screen. The default image
stays forever, no matter which image you choose. I guess it's some kind of bug... Or maybe I'm doing
something wrong?

Once you selected the image/photo did you hit back, then tap the 'tick' button to apply the change?

Thanks a ton!
It worked but after selecting an image, had to click the 'tick mark' icon to apply changes!

No worries, it confused me at first, think it could be simplified so that the tick button appears once you have made a change so you can confirm. It only appears once (if!) you hit back.

It worked... This is really a stupid method to save a change...

What about a live wallpaper?
Edit: I tried None, Pick Image and System... but none takes (or let me choose) my default "3D Parallax Wheather" wallpaper. CM12 Nightlies do this by default. I guessed System take the system wallpaper, but unfortunately it doesn't. Maybe it's a bug which needs to be fixed.

Anyone found a way to get the CM nightly lockscreen to replace the COS12 one?

I think I saw somebody write somewhere that the Lockscreen is in the SystemUI, but unfortunately these are not exchangable between CM12 and Cyanogen OS12, so someone has to modify the CM12 nightly one, to be compatible with Cyanogen OS12.

What do you want it to be? The slider?
Some ROMs have an option to show the slider on a secure lockscreen. Can't remember if CM does.

Settings, (Personalization) Lock Screen, Screen Lock, put PIN in, choose Pattern. If you use an Exchange e-mail account this will be disabled due to Exchange policy.

If it's in the rom its usually in settings > Security and there should be an option, something like "show slider before secure unlock".

Maybe CM doesn't have an option. Not all ROMs have all features.

[Q] Any way to remove "Swipe to Unlock" text from lockscreen?

I tried Screen Tweaks, which removes only the camera icon, Clean Lockscreen removes carrier logo, but Swipe to Unlock is persistent.
Can anyone point me in the direction of something to remove this (rooted D6616)?
I found this, but it doesn't seem to work on my Z3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51644214&postcount=4
Edit: Got it done...kind of. See 2nd post, keep getting these strange black bars that nobody seems to have in that thread.

Edit update: I copied the modded keyguard.apk again, removed the text, and installed xBlast tools to make the status and navigation bars transparent. Now, if I'm on my home screen or somewhere the bars are transparent and lock and unlock, the bars are gone. If I lock from anywhere else, the bars are still there.
So now I guess I'm looking at a way to make them transparent on the lockscreen permanently
Bump...just tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/themes-apps/mod-remove-text-lock-screen-t3028443
And it works...sorta. It takes away the text finally, but I have these black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, here's a screenshot:

I've already tried re-applying the wallpaper and applying a different wallpaper with no luck. Does anybody know what could be causing this?

Would be nice, but I can't as I'm on T-Mobile's D6616 variant. No Lollipop yet and no unlockable bootloader.

Yup, apparently it could be months away. I'm not too sad, as KK with root is everything I could want. Just wish I could get that annoying text to go away properly.

Well I found a method that works, but it adds black bars on the bottom where the nav bar would be, and turns the status bar into solid black.

yes there is, but you have to touch the lock screen to see the text, this is on the latest german .62 build

Maybe.
I am talking about non branded builds.
But anyway it does not matter.
Some people are bothered by the text, I myself...don' t care.
I really don't think this is hopeless...as you can see, I have succeeded in removing the text, but something is incompatible and causing black bars to appear as if I just initiated the notification drawer. I posted a screenshot in the OP. If I knew how to modify the APK myself, I would but I can't seem to find many resources on that.
Hopeful bump! Also update, I copied the modded keyguard.apk again, removed the text, and installed xBlast tools to make the status and navigation bars transparent.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, are you referring to magazine unlock where everytime the screen turns on it shows a different wallpaper?

Pulling down drop bar blurry notification

If you pull down the notification bar on the lock screen without swiping is it supposed to look like this? I have to swipe up to view it which is annoying. I did a fresh install.

Something is wrong. It shouldn't matter if the lock screen is up or not

Question App Icons Changing locations on its Own

Hi,
Does anyone faces this issue?
I have moved the app icons to the layout that I want and also lock the home screen layout.
However, the icons will still shift on its own to another page after a reboot. Then when I try to shift it back, it said the home screen is locked. Its weird that I cannot move the icons but the phone can move the icons even though the home screen layout is locked.
