A Smart Lock bug on Marshmallow? - AT&T LG G4

My experience with G4 on Marshmallow has been great so far!! Now I like my G4 even more! Faster, smoother and more responsive.
But THE ONLY THING THAT BOTHERS ME now is a little bug on the lockscreen: It happens when I have my knock code put on and Smart Lock activated (my usual combination).
When Smart Lock recognizes my face and unlocks my G4 (then I need to swipe) the swipe animation (like "Hula Hula") now SHOWS THE INTERIOR BLACK a shown in the attachment.
Before it used to show part of my homescreen and you could see the icons inside. Now it just shows like if everything was DARK inside in the homescreen when it's not xD. Someone else with this issue?

Just download it, open a file explorer, go to it's download location (wherever you downloaded it to) and click on it. Also remember to allow installation of non-market apps in the settings. Another way would to just search for it on the market. Market link - (Free) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free&feature=search_result ; (Paid) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen&feature=search_result .
This is pretty smooth,
One thing I thought was odd was that in your setup you have an Ad. While not odd in itself, you need to make money somehow. The ad was in Chinese, or Japanese, or some other symbol language.
I'd probably be more inclined to click an ad I could read, just a heads up.

Nice lock screen app, but the short cut settings are very unstable. Sometimes they work, most times they don't...
Like This . Thank You .
Tested the free version an view minutes and bought the app. Great look screen!
I like it but the use of a lockscreen is destroyed when just a home button exits the lock.
Great job dev!

looks nice tnx
Hey dev, I have a small glitch. Using the ripple lock and the phone was in sleep mode my alarm went off. I had no way of turning the alarm off. Nothing popped up giving me the option to turn the alarm off. The phone woke up locked but that was it. I was using the stock alarm if that matters.
Thanks.

Is there a way to disable the volume buttons? Right now when the volume buttons are pushed the screen turns on and makes a beep sound
i really love ripplelock, but i have one problem:
if i put my phone in airplanemode at night (to save some battery) and turn off airplanemode at the next morning, usualy the PIN-input-screen pops up. But if i install ripple lock, the PIN-input-screen doesnt pop up, regardless of the chosen double-lockscreen method. only while system security lock is enabled, the PIN-input-screen pops up, but this way i get an double lockscreen.
The only version, which works properly for me without this issue is v2.2, evrey other version above 2.2 has the descriped bug. Thats why i stick with this version and hope this issue will be fixed soon.
(Also I would love to see that the home-button doesnt unlock anymore, while the status-bar is hidden (one of two main reasons, why i use ripple lock instead of the modded system lockscreen, which looks nearly the same except for the visible status-bar and that the lock icon functions only as a slider).)
BTW: I'm on an rooted Desire HD with cm7
Pretty cool app. Slight bugs:
1st time I had a notification written in Chinese or something. Then came up in English after I got through that one. Maybe or maybe not a bug; maybe you could ask the user 1st time setup which language to use.
2nd bug is that I came out of standby and was at the homescreen and then the lockscreen loaded up a second or two later. Maybe it's my midrange phone (Galaxy Ace) causing it to be a bit laggy.
Otherwise pretty awesome app.
I love the look of honeycomb especially the lockscreen. I've been using Ripple Lock for about 3 weeks now. So far so good. Thank you Dev!

Invisible lockscreen?

Some months ago I came across a lockscreen idea which didn't put a separate lockscreen on the top screen, instead it simply locked the visible screen as is, and allowed display updates to show as though the screen isn't locked. A simple gesture unlocks the screen. I thought it a great idea but could not disable my own phone's lockscreen to use this app. Now I can disable my phone's own lockscreen but now I can't find this app!
Help please?
Found it, invisible lock. For some reason play store didn't bring that up when I searched almost those exact terms.

Flashlight Widget Issue, Lock-Screen Background Issue, Need Help. (SG S5 Active)

Hello Everyone, I'm having a strange issue with the flashlight widget on the Galaxy S5 Active (Model SM-G870A, Android 5.0, Baseband G870AUCU2BOF3), wanting to know if anyone else had/has these problems or if any of you know a solution.
FlashLight Issue
Basically I put the widget for the stock flashlight on my home page, it works just fine, but I noticed that the pull down notification labeled "Flashlight turned on - Tap here to turn off Flashlight." doesn't... turn it off! When pressed from the lock screen (and once the lock code is entered) It simply unlocks the phone to wherever you were. If its pressed in an app, it simply swipes the notification tab back up. The main reason this is annoying is because having the ability to toggle the light from the lock screen could be very handy instead of entering my lock code again to turn it off.
Background Issue
The issue here is at seemingly random times, my wallpaper on the lock screen will appear heavily warped or distorted, usually vertically, until i unlock the phone. Its not so much an issue as it is an annoyance. If anyone has information on this issue or have a solution, let me know.

Honor 8 Nougat and EMUI: Likes and Unlikes

I have the FRD-L04 with Nougat and updated to EMUI 5.0 OTA.
Been using this update for 3 days now. So far, I have this hate/love relationship with it.
Changes that I like:
-Allows built in call recording (in EMUI 4.1, any third party app wasnt able to successfully record calls and even if it did, the other end was very very low in volume)
-App drawer
-Pedometer on lock screen
Changes that I dislike/hate:
-Notifications when pulled down, won't show more than 1 line. For example, if someone messaged me on messenger or whatsapp, I can only see ONE line of text vs before where I can pinch and drag down to see at least 4 or 5 lines of text.
-system apps are now white in the background. For example clock, voice recorder, calculator now have a "light" background where as before it was a black/dark background. And there is no way to change it.
-notification icons do not show on status bar when lock screen is on, you must unlock phone to see this.
Any suggestions to any of the unlikes above?
use floatify to get better notifications and a theme can change backgrounds to black

My only issue with Floatify as a lockscreen is that there's a delay between when the screen turns on and when it loads. It's not awful, it's just not instant. As a result, I switched to just floating notifications on lockscreen instead of Floatify lock screen.
Do you experience this issue as well?
EMUI have a theme engine, you can use the Material theme to change the look. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/themes Some themes aren't fully compatible with EMUI5 yet, but try the dark CM14 one for starter.
I distinctly remember if I try to expand the 1 line notification in EMUI 4.1, it lets you 'allow the app' which then lets you expand the notification, not sure if it's an issue EMUI5, it seems fine for me.
Likes:
-It sucked less than EMUI 4.1.
Dislikes:
-It's not stock Android.

Not 100% sure of your problem but I use floating on lock screen as well
I actually miss the pull down with notifications separate from quick settings.
Presses seem to not be registered as well. I feel like I press something and it sometimes takes a few before it responds.

mostly just negatives for me...
- I can no longer reply to messages from notification with Hangouts. Click on Reply launches Hangout instead of letting you reply inline.
- They still did not add back the missing function with Do Not Disturb function. On AOSP, when you turn it on, there's option of having it automatically turn off after a certain amount of time of your choice or when the next Alarm clock goes off.
- Bluetooth with my car is completely broken after Nougat so I had to revert back to Marshmallow.
- Wifi/Cellur data connection seems to take a while to 'wake up' after the phone goes to sleep for a while.
- Google Voice is broken.

Steps to reproduce:
Lock screen and turn off display
Press power button to turn on display
There's a maybe 100-500ms delay where you will see Huawei's default Magazine Unlock lockscreen before Floatify loads. If you've just recently viewed your lock screen, and repeat steps 1-2, Floatify's lockscreen will load instantly.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for those of us with corporate email accounts, screen lock is mandatory, and enforced by the device administration service (in this case Exchange synchronized through Gmail app). I can live with a short delay, it's not a deal breaker since Floatify is a significant improvement over the broken Magazine Unlock, and I only actually use my lockscreen on rare occasions due to the convenience of FPS unlock and screen on.

hmm that sucks :/
In reply to a few things mentioned above, to share my experience:
Bluetooth works fine, seamlessly reconnected to my car after update. (Isolated issue perhaps)
No issues with touch slow downs or unresponsive taps. (Isolated issue -- maybe apps installed with poor Nougat support?)
Eliminating the split notification panel and returning to AOSP Nougat style is a huge improvement. 90% of the time you're 1 swipe away from the content you want, and for the other 10%, you're only 1 additional swipe away. I also use the button configuration that has the notification shade pulldown in the right most nav postion.
While Google Voice may not work, you can make and receive calls through Hangouts using your GV number. For most people, the VOIP aspect is fine, although for some edge cases some may want to use Voice to make calls without a network signal.
Quick reply works for me when receiving and replying to Hangouts messages.
Not being able to expand notifications past 1 line -- I only have this problem so far on the stock Messaging app, I get multi-line expandable notifications for everything else.
What apps are only showing 1 line of text in the notifications?
Hi guys, first post. I am still enjoying the Honor 8.
Couple of niggles since updating to 5.0 that haven't been addressed previously, hopefully someone will have a solution.
1. Using WhatsApp I used to get the profile picture of the person msging me appear in the status bar, this was a cool little touch. Now I just get the standard WhatsApp voicebubble.
2. The app switch "square button" apps now display only vertically, I liked them scrolling horizontally, anyway of changing this.
Thanks all.
The Wifi calling feature is still not available. That is a shame!
The ROG mode is not enabled, even though I can turn the power saving with lowered resolution on in another setting interface. It is just not working as expected. That is strange.
When I use screen off and lock app and unlock using the finger print scanner it now makes me enter my lock screen password. So now I have to use my power button to shut my phone off if I want to wake my phone to the home screen using the finger print scanner.

You can use the stock integrated Screen lock widget and when you unlock your phone with fingerprint no password required

I can confirm #1, although in my case it was Hangouts and Slack where I was seeing the profile icons. #2 is the way the Android AOSP recent apps have looked since 5.0 Lollipop in 2014, and for the most part even since 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in 2011. Huawei made significant modifications to the recent apps list in EMUI that were largely unpopular with the user base who preferred and was used to the way Recents worked for the past 6 years. You'll get used to it over time, it's a familiarity thing. If you're not used to AOSP or AOSP based ROMs like CM, Lineage, etc, it's a bit of a shock. Most OEMs also kept the AOSP-style Recents (LG, etc) even in their UI skins.
An additional issue I've noticed: When disconnecting from a charger, it always shows a popup with the battery percentage that has to be dismissed via button tap. I can't find a way in settings to disable this, has anybody else found it?
nice to know! still, annoying to ditch my pretty widget!
---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------
Which themes have the black notification backgrounds because the ones I've tried (via link provided) don't!
I'm on FRD-L04 and I cannot find any screen lock widget I don't think my phone has one. My honor 5x had one but this honor 8 never had one not even when it was marshmallow. What version of honor 8 do you have?
NEVERMIND I found it lol .
Anyway my opinion of the EMUI 5 update is that it is just a little less crappy than EMUI 4.1 The reviews made it sound like it was going to be this game changer when it's basically the same thing with a revamped notification pulldown and a few added features in settings. I really hope that we can get a functional custom ROM for this phone soon but without Huawei helping devs out with the proper stuff I don't see that happening anytime soon.
How long do these roll outs take? I am up to date according to software and still on Marshmallow. I even used the HI app
