Hi Guys,
I have been trying to to add some widgets to the lock screen but cannot see the option do so. The main idea is to display the alarm along with the native clock icon and see the calendar events without having to unlock the device. I treid next lock screen but the behavior seemed a bit weird and I would like widgets on the stock lock screen itself. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks in advance.
Nope, no way to do that unfortunately. I don't think lock screen widgets have been a feature since 4.2

hi,
someone knows a widget that allows you to lock the screen of your android device?
on my nexus one i'd like to do it without pressing the lock button, so a widget button would be wonderful..
thanks

I would also like a widget that does this. In particular I would like a widget to engage the pattern/pin lock so that I can secure the phone when I need to, but not have the pattern/pin lock on all the time.
sure, it could have two buttons, one to normally lock the device, and the other one to lock it activatingthe security pattern..
no one knows something like this?
some developer here think it would be difficult to develop it?
Would love for this to be developed. I hate when I am streaming Slacker Radio or Pandora, when the phone goes to sleep and I want to skip a track I have to unlock the phone and put my pattern back in to get to the app since there is no option on the lock screen to skip. There are other apps that I use constantly that would favor this widget (if made ) as well. If I had a toggle switch to either enable or disable the pattern I would use it often.
Take a look at Screen Mode Widget in the Market. I've been using it since I first got my Droid a few months ago. Probably my most useful app on the phone because I HATED using the unlock key and then swiping to unlock all the time.
P.S. For the pattern lock, try the Lock Pattern OnOff widget available via the Market as well.
Hey i use widget locker and i find it annoying sometimes when i use my phone that i see the sense lock screen before my widget locker screen pops up. i thought i can solve this by disabling the sense lock screen which works but now i can't answer calls. any solutions?

In widget locker there's a setting in advanced settings for root users that fixes that if your rooted

Hello,
I am trying to change my lock screen app, from the standard one to Picturesque, the new one from Microsoft. But when I install it, it only shows up a few seconds after unlocking my phone. I first get the standard Xperia lockscreen and after 1second it swaps to the new lockscreen app.
Is there any way to change this? The 1 second wait makes it totally useless as a lockscreen replacement.
So how do I get rid of the xperia lockscreen and replace with my own custom lockscreen app?
Thx a lot

Deactivate lockscreen in Settings. I guess then youre problem should be solved.
Hey guys, I just got a Note Edge (loving it btw) and was wondering if there are any lock screen replacements with decent notification features (like Snaplock) that also allows unlocking by fingerprint? I quite like the look of the normal TouchWiz lock screen so something like the DashClock Widget would be perfect since it adds notifications by way of widgets instead of a whole lock screen replacement but I just found out that TouchWiz doesn't allow widgets on the lock screen apart from the default digital clock. Can someone offer some suggestions? Either a lock screen replacement that allows fingerprint scanning or some way to allow widgets on the lock screen after I root it. Thanks a lot!
Go setting....lock screen...under screen lock select finger print.

It's already built into the phone and works great for me. I also like how when using PayPal you can swipe your fingerprint to pay. Can't wait till you can lock different apps with the fingerprint, this would be super useful.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. I've already registered 3 fingerprints and they work quite well in the lock screen (a lot better than what I had read from some accounts prior to purchasing the phone). What I would like is to have notifications on my lock screen like what you'd get on an iPhone or through lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next Lock Screen. The problem is, when I turn on one of these lock screen replacements in the settings, I get two lock screens. First the replacement lock screen appears with all the notifications and then after unlocking that through either swiping/pattern/pin (they don't support fingerprints), I get the system lock screen which allows me to use my fingerprint. Of course, I can just turn off the system lock screen but like I said, the other lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next don't support fingerprints.

How can u set up paypal?
With the upgrade to Lollipop, you can now get notifications to show on the lock screen (Settings > Device > Sound and Notifications). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow widgets to be used on the secure (fingerprint, PIN, pass, etc.) lock screens, so I am unable to put a weather widget on my lock screen. And since I have a corporate Exchange email account set up on my phone i can't opt-out of using a secure lock screen.
Like all of the other unfortunate AT&T customers that purchased a Note Edge, I got screwed over without the ability to root my device. I would really like to set my phone up the way I want it, as it should be.
And while i'm *****ing, why can't Samsung set up one of their Edge panels (briefing maybe?) to wake the edge screen and display notifications for SMS messages? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that be an ideal function to have with the edge screen? It's nice that they will allow sms notifications on the main lock screen now via lollipop, but why not put them on the edge screen where they should be on a device such as this?
If i'm missing something and there are ways to resolve my two complains please feel free to fill me in.

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get my phone to update to Lollipop so maybe that will solve everything. I have a factory unlocked phone bought in Australia so from what I read, the update should've rolled out ages ago but it never seems to see it. Anyways, I'm downloading the update manually now via sammobile so let's see!

Totally agree with you. Even if we don't get whole text messages scrolled across the Edge screen, at least light up a few pixels there to show us there that there are notifications waiting. I have a cover that doesn't allow me to see the notification light next to the logo but has a slit cut out for the Edge so that would be perfect.
Does anyone know of any lock screen alternatives that work well with the Mate 9.
I've tried a few but I've ended up with the new lock screen on top of the Mate 9 default one as i also can't find a way to disable the default lock screen.

i'm using an app called Floatify; it's more for notifications, but gives you the ability to use its lock screen as well. nothing fancy, there are a few customization options (clock style, wallpaper, clock size, position). i don't recall the stock lock screen interfering/appearing before the Floatify lock screen. (could be happening and i haven't see it). the pic below is using the Floatify lock screen and notifications (you can customize color/font/size of notifications).

Thanks for the suggestion and Floatify looks good but when I switch the phone on, I briefly get an image of the Huawei lock screen before it gets covered up but Floatify. Do you know how to fully disable the Huawei lock screen so it never appears?
Thanks for your help.

I think I didn't have this problem with the Next lockscreen.
But I stopped using it since it is so fast to login with fingerprint reader

unfortunately, i don't know how to completely disable the lock screen. did you disable the "magazine" lock screen? i disabled the "magazine" lock screen on my device and i see the Floatify lock screen when waking via the power button or fingerprint. i'll pay closer attention to see if the stock lock screen is actually appearing and i'm not noticing it.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I can't see a way to disable the Magazine lock. In Lock Screen Style, I can only see the Magazine lock and no way to select another or un-select Magazine lock. Any help very much appreciated.

hey, sorry about lack of clarity with my reply. i forgot to mention that i installed a theme named "Pure Black 1.5.2" and under Screen lock & passwords->Screen lock style, i chose Pure Black 1.5.2 as the lock screen (vs Magazine unlock). i also disabled "use" of the Magazine pictures on the lock screen by removing the checkmarks (Screen lock & passwords->Magazine unlock). i've been paying closer attention to my lock screen and the Floatify lock screen has appeared every time the device awakens to display notifications and/or if i press the power button to manually check for notifications. hope this helps and apologies for leaving out the additional steps.
