Generally speaking I really prefer the AOSP Roms but I have a few things in the stock based roms that I can't seem to get away from. One of them is the sound. Its just better on stock. I won't go into detail because a) that's not the point of this post and b) I don't want any of the excellent devs working on AOSP roms to think I'm being critical of their work.
One of the things I preferred about the AOSP Roms was the lockscreen. I just don't like LG's implementation. I don't think it looks as good and I don't like having to press enter after typing in my pin. It's petty on my part, but it irks me. Anyway, I had been trying to figure out how to port the lockscreen from AOSP to work on stock based roms and as it turns out, it's already there. In a rather foolhearty attempt to learn more about LG's lockscreen, I decided to make a nandroid backup, then boot, and just erase the LGLockScreen.apk/LGLockScreen.odex files from the /system/app folder using ES file explorer. I also erased the LGLockSreenSettings.apk/LGLockScreenSetting.odex files as well.
Now I have the AOSP lockscreen but things aren't exactly 100 percent stable. I'm trying to find a solution to make the switch and not have weird force closes. Sometimes it works fine but every once and a while, it will behave strangely and spit error messages at me. I've searched but I haven't seen any threads where anyone has managed to do this. (I tried erasing the lockscreen and leaving the settings files but that didn't work 100% either) Any suggestions?

After:
a working AOSP lockscreen for stock would be more than a welcome addition.
I changed this line in my build.prop because i wanted a live wallpaper on my lockscreen. It also makes your lockscreen aosp style.
Find
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=true
Change to
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=false
Reboot
Enjoy
Also for whatever reason root explorer wouldn't let me change true to false. It would only let me spell out fals so i downloaded buildprop editor free from play store worked great.
Should mention i have Verizon G2

Well setting the LG lockscreen to false enabled the AOSP lockscreen. I was able to get the lockscreen to unlock when the correct PIN was entered without having to press the enter button, which was not possible previously. I did notice that my navigation bar transparency was disabled when I was not using the LG lockscreen. With the QuickWindow cover I have I reverted back to LG lockscreen for the window effect and the transparent nav bar.
I went ahead and changed the line in my build.prop as stated above, and it definitely cleaned up the lockscreen how I wanted, but now my wallpaper is gone. Its just a black screen and I've tried changing it to other wallpapers but it just stays black. Any ideas?

I did this to have my homescreen live wallpaper on my lockscreen to mimic the look of Gummys kitkat rom while running lg based rom. I really havent tested beyond that. I set live wallpaper of choice ( phase bean ) onn homescreen then modified the build.prop. After reboot ive got a aosp style live wallpaper lockscreen.
Edit
Just tried and whatever wallpaper i set to homescreen is on lockscreen live or from gallery. Tried changing just lockscreen alone with no luck so if you want to separate wallpapers this might not be for you

Agreed, actually one of the things I wanted from the AOSP lockscreen was to use the same wallpaper as the desktop. I thought it looked weird having different ones and when I would choose the same one for the desktop and the LG based lockscreen, they would be clipped differently and just looked even weirder to me....
FYI, for those of you doing this, I'm noticing some strange issues when combined with some Xposed modules. I'm actually thinking I might install a fresh rom and do this so that I can try to figure out which module(s) might be of concern...
Tried the build prop thing too but although i am able to save it it gets revertet to "true" directly after...
EDIT: Forget it! Altered the build.prop manually with root browser and now the lockscreen has changed. But still i have to press enter after the pin...
EDIT: Forget that too. In xposed g2 settings i could activate "quick unlock".

Which G2 Xposed module did you use? Nevermind
noticed a small issue with using this tweak: sometimes after a phone call when it goes back to the home screen it's just an empty wallpaper instead without any icons and the only way to get out of is to bring the notification shade and go into settings from there and then go back to the home screen.
I've seen that too. It's kind of annoying and really strange. I wish I knew how to stop it from happening because I really don't like the lg lockscren...

One of my favorite features on stock lollipop was the Samsung live weather lockscreen. It seems this was lost in Marshmallow. Does anyone know how to install it? I would greatly appreciate the help.
I would love to know this as well
Same thing happened to me yesterday after the Marshmallow 6.0.1 update. No more live weather option on the lock screen.
Same here. It seems they've removed it completely. It was my favorite too.
...
I've been looking for a way to get this back or some suitable replacement for this feature and can't find either.
Anyone got any ideas?

Yes, Ive been using it for a while. You need to download the Samsung Good Lock lock screen , It will actually change your UI. . Then enable it, it will give you an option to either use a widget or a stock clock, select either your own weather / time widget or the stock Samsung widget. I use XWidget . then once finished setting your widget before clicking finish, hit the little edit icon to the right of the widget you selected and click the button to "Enable to access the secured lock screen" otherwise it wont update, then click save.

I like the slide up animation and the smooth feeling of it, but compared to e.g. Nova Launcher - it's not even close.
I know there's a hype on this launcher, but can somebody tell me - what's so great in it?
Also - Google App does not appear on the left side.

I can't get why someone should tell you what is great and what is not in this launcher? If you like it, use it, if not, then there are tons of other launchers. And let's not forget that "great" is not same for everyone and all have different liking and needs.

Transparent dock background not working on beta 10. Shows first but disappears after i slide up to drawer. And the animation is pretty awkward from light transparent to whiteish to black.
Pretty sure this is just a link to the APK by team blacked out, which is originally in a zip file so you can flash it as a system app allowing the slide left Google now functionality to remain

Unfortunately, I didn't (well, at least not for what you're seeing in that screenshot). If you visit plus.google.com in Chrome, it offers to put a link to the site on your home screen. So, that icon just opens the web version of Google+. I did install Google+ earlier today, but because I had to sign it myself to remove the conflicting permissions (it conflicts with the improperly built Gallery app), Google's servers rejected the client. IMO, the only chances we have of getting a working Google+ installed are 1) if the phone is rooted, then we should be able to replace the Gallery app with a non-broken one, or 2) Lenovo needs to fix it. Option 2 might happen by accident if they ever decide to release Android 7.
Looks like you can only change the lock screen wallpaper to a static picture, no live wallpapers unfortunately. On other phones you can.
Also, I can install and use Google+ just fine it seems, perhaps because I installed their latest December update.

My stock launcher somehow become corrupted, every second, I get "Unfortuantely Launcher has stopped working". It was a ***** to get to the Google Play store between saying, "ok" and having the message pop again in 1 second. So I was able to get into Play store and install another Launcher that is near the original Launcher_3. However, it does not have that LockScreen Walpaper mode.
I don't know how to fix and reinstate the original launcher. Even after trashing and reinstalling it, it still doesn't work.
Any insight?

Get actual Samsung Edge Lighting Notifications with any app while your screen is off!
Since we all know Samsung only did half the job with this feature, this app will enable you to trigger Edge Lighting (the real one !) when your screen is off. It works with any app by reading the app notification creating a new temporary notification that triggers edge lighting (you won't notice it in your notification list).
You can set custom color filters for your apps, based on their names.
Features:
Real Samsung Edge Lighting
Extremely minimal battery drain
No fake AOD Screen
Works with ANY app (including Messenger!)
Initial setup is a bit tedious, but that's mostly Samsung's fault.
Any suggestion to improve the app is -of course- welcome!
Download link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.zunder.edgelightingfixforallappsv2
Patch notes:
Users using a version priori to 1.2 need to install a new version of the app from the market (link updated in the first post)!
v1.24
Fixed an issue that caused the app to crash for some users.
v1.23
Added a custom icon feature for each app (Premium feature)
v1.22
Added a switch to enable/disable display of system apps in the list
v1.21
Fixed a switch display bug when using the search feature.
v1.2
Just to explain: I had to create a new app on Play store because, for whatever reason, the Play Console won't let me update the old one.
- New super sexy interface
- Filter search
- In-app support purchase to remove ads
v1.07
Added support for Do not Disturb mode. You can still bypass it in the notification parameters on my app, but there is no way so far I can make it work on a per application basis.
v1.06
Taping an app icon now now copies its name to the clipboard for faster filters setup.
v1.05
Added a detailed help screen
v1.04
Finally added an icon for the app
v1.03
Fixed the issue about the switches resetting when you scroll

When you choose your edge notification style, you should be able to pick a color. Set it as custom and add filters from notification titles (which are the source apps names the way they are displayed in my app)

For now, no I just implemented a basic Samsung Edge Lighting notification, so you got what they designed.
I will see how I can make the notfication repeat at a fixed interval set by the user. I'm just afraid it will be extremely battery hungry.

With my app, notifications shouldn't wake your screen up but give you an edge light.
When you get in the menu for custom color, you have to allow my app ("Edge Lighting for all Apps") to send Edge Lighting notifications.
Edit: do you understand that Edge Lighting will prevent notifications from turning the screen on but instead display some kind of edge light while keeping your screen off?

OK thanks. It would be interesting to add that option. Does the goodlock edge light work? So is the LED only activated around the camera?
