I have turned off the stock lockscreen through widget locker and I would like to make a task in Tasker which turns on the widge-locker locksreen. I've tried making tasker launch the widget locker app, but that leads to the launching of the "set up lockrscreen" in WL.
My question is does anyone know how I can call the widgetlocker locksreen through tasker?
Thanks

How to disable stock lockscreen?

I'm using WidgetLocker and the stock lockscreen just keeps popping up. I couldnt find an app named lockscreen or anything like that with Titanium Backup and i didnt want to start disabling stuff at random. So does anyone have any idea how to disable the stock lockscreen or if its possible to somehow permanently replace it with WidgetLocker
Guess someone should post his WidgetLocker settings and turn that thread into a sticky, so many people having problems with WidgetLocker and default lockscreen. I use easy wake-up mode in WidgetLocker and Samsung's lockscreen is deactivated. If you don't wanna use easy-wake mode, go to advanced settings in WidgetLocker and select "disable stock lockscreen"
Sorry, my config is in french, so I can translate but not sure this is the same name entry.
I have no such trouble with widgetlocket and default screenlocker. Even if, from time to time, the defaut one can appear but not really often.
The only thing to set is the behavior section : set active from boot.
And set Activated widgetlocker in the main settings menu.
Nothing else

[Q] shortcut to lockscreen?

Hello,
Is it possible to create a shortcut to lockscreen and place it e.g. on my homescreen?
I'd like to only show the lockscreen, without turning off the screen.
There are many applications on market, but they all lock device and turn the screen off.
If there is such an option in tasker, I must have missed it.
Thanks for any help,
Paul

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You mean,you want to lock the device but not turn the screen off with a shortcut?
Yes, exactly.
I'd like to utilize the lockscreen as a "gesture shortcut" application (why install another app, when CM lockscreen has all I need?).

[Q] Replacing an app with a widget on taskbar

Hello,
I just recently got the GS3(not rooted, stock everything) and was wondering if the apps located on the bottom taskbar and also the apps shortcuts located on the lock screen can be replaced with a widget? The reason I ask is because of the stock messaging app. The one good feature about this app is that on the lock screen it'll let you know how many unread messages you have by showing a number on the icon for the app. However, I'm not a fan of the app itself(regarding how it interprets picture messages) therefore I've installed GO SMS which was my messaging app from my old Incredible. Unfortunately if you replace the stock messaging app with the GO SMS app on the bottom taskbar and lock screen it will not show how many missed messages you have on the GO SMS icon. However, if you just place the GO SMS widget on any screen the widget will show how many missed messages you have. I've tried all options I can think of but when you drag a widget down to the taskbar it won't go in like the app would nor do I have the option of putting a widget on the lock screen(settings/lock screen/lock screen options/shortcuts). Any suggestions or would this require a root?
Thanks
not in the stock launcher or lockscreen.
you can use Nova and widget locker

[Q] Disable Lockscreen Widget animation

Hi,
im on Cataclysm ROM 4.4, Nexus 5.
im using NiLS for Notifications on my (Standard) Lockscreen.
This works well but i have to enable that widgets are expanded to start the app instantly by clicking on the notification (whatsapp, facebook whatever), if the widget isnt expanded, i have to click on the notification and then unlock.
so with expanded widgets, everytime i turn on the screen this white widget area "animation" is popping up. this is very annoying and looks like the display is flackering.
is there any way to turn this animation off, make it transparent or a way to start the app directly while widget is not expanded.
I know there is locker pro etc which shows notifications also on lockscreen, but im not a fan of custom lockers due they all just dont work as stable or smooth as the stock-locker.

Weather Animation or Widget?

Where is the Default Weather Widget for the lockscreen? I use Nova so I think I lost it? All I have is a circle clock with everything checked under lock screen options. Thanks.
Nova shouldn't affect the lockscreen. Try swiping all the way to the left in the lockscreen until it says tap to add widget. The weather widget should be at the bottom of the list that comes up.
