Hello all,
I"m just wondering how the Sensation and Evo 3d both have the weather on the home screen back ground once you unlock the screen. Why does this phone not have the same back ground weather feature on the home screen?
I believe it does. On the home screen if you hit the personalize button , when the menu comes up you will see the option "lockscreen", hit that then move over to where it says weather. Hit apply, hit the poeer button then see if it comes up after it unlocks.

It's also there as a live wallpaper. Under the wallpaper section if the same place.

It's actually on sense 3.0 which is weird that it's not on this phone. I mean no big deal but it was an awesome feature
Just make sure you have the HTC Weather Clock on your homepage and make sure that under Weather options, Show full screen animation is checked.
To check this, just hold down on the widget on your screen and drag it to the edit option. Select your city then you'll get a single option under Weather options to show full screen animation.
I just tried this out and as soon as I unlock the screen on my Amaze, I can see the weather effects flowing across the home screen.
He wants the wallpaper to show current weather. It's a live wallpaper. Press personalize button then wallpaper then live wallpaper then select weather.. I think that's what he's talking about..

If you look at his first post, he's asking to "have the weather on the home screen back ground once you unlock the screen."
If you look at his Youtube link, at 2:19, you can see the guy unlocking the screen, then the weather effects appear. This is the same as showing the full screen animation under the weather options for the HTC Sensation Clock.
You can try it right now and you can see you'll get the same effects.

odd this is not working for me...
I even removed the widget and replaced it... I get plenty of animation on the lockscreen just not on the homescreen after unlocking. It is sunny here so I should get a lens flare and the sun should grow larger for a second. That is not happening.
Odd indeed. Just to check my sanity, I re-added the HTC clock widget (the first one out of the 17). When it asked me to select a city, I selected current location, then it moved to the Weather options tab and I selected Show full screen animation.
As soon as I did that, I didn't even have to lock my screen to see the weather affects across my whole home screen. I did lock my screen then unlock it after to see if the effects were still there and they were...
Not sure why it's working for me and not others

Ok, I sort of lied... What I really did was go to the widgets find the one and tried to get to the weather options. Well I got there but then it added the same widget twice essentially. I only deleted one. This time i removed that widget completely and then long pressed where I wanted added and even prompts the weather options for fullscreen. Made sure it was checked and now it is working
TL; DR Remove the widget completely and then add it back making sure the option for full screen animation. It will then start working!
Awesome, glad I wasn't crazy haha.
Hopefully this is the answer the OP was looking for

Hey all. I always wondered why Archos didn't make a lockscreen (like most android phones have). I always liked to have some widgets and info on my old iPhone lockscreen so I could see basic info without having to unlock the device.
Has anyone come across a way to add a lockscreen to Gen8 devices? An option to turn on/off the lockscreen would be a nice addition by Archos.
I had used this basic method to lock my screen.
Settings --> Location & security --> Change screen lock
You can use Pattern or PIN to unlock screen.
If you need Slide to unlock, you can search "Unlock Screen" for apps in market.
jakkrith's method is great. or you could purchase widget locker from the Market:

Force Closes on A70S.
I think what Techngro means is a lockscreen which also shows some useful information like calendar, todo list, etc..without a need to unlock it.
Sent from my A70S using Tapatalk
I installed widgetlocker, but I got a problem now.
When I try to put out my screen (by pressing the power button)
The screen will turn black, as it has to, but then the slide bar will return.
I have to push the power button again to let the screen stay black.
Is there a setting I set wrong? Or is there a way to let the screen turn black and stay out at once? (until I push a button ofc)

Some folks have reported sleep issues with widget locker. you should check out the thread on XDA for possible solutions. i believe there is setting in WL to prevent it from coming back on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732986
I looked there, but couldn't really find it in the 680 comments.
Used the search function, but I don't think I use the right words..
Can you tell me where to look, or what words to look for?

Yes, that is what I was thinking about. I'll take a look at widget locker though.
Coming from Nexus One so AOSP/CM were what Im used to.
Im currently running quick sense.
ADW as my launcher.
Just a few questions.
1. Is there a way to remove the PULL RING lock screen at all ?
Or at the very least change the shortcuts ?
I have pattern lock but Im used to going directly to that when waking.
2. Are there any modified APKs of the messaging app ?
Lack of customization isnt made up by its high res UI and slick design.
Handcent and GoSms are nice but not high res so Im caught in between
3. Anyway to turn off home screen rotate ?
4. Contacts. Im very lost here.
Can I sync JUST the Facebook contacts I also have on my Google account ?
Seems like its all or nothing.
I like having say "brenda's" FB status and profile pick...but not her sisters jane and diane who are also FB friends.
5. Is there a way to enable track skip for the volume buttons ?
If Im listening to music Im used to being able to press Vol up/down to change tracks.
So far love the camera..light bleed is there but hasnt irritated me (yet)..very heavy/bulky...but great screen and Audio seems FAR better than my N1 so far. Battery life went from wtf ? to oh..pretty good with Quicksense.
Thanks!!

2. Only the third party ones from the Market. I may be wrong though.
3. My home screen doesn't rotate. Maybe try Settings > Display and check/uncheck Auto-rotate screen.
4. Confused here. Do you want your Google contacts AND your Facebook or just your Facebook? Or do you want to sync certain Facebook contacts.
5. You can swipe your finger across the screen to change tracks. That's about it as far as I know.

No. But there should be something on the Market to disable the lockscreen. I have a power control widget that has the option to disable the lockscreen when selected.

Currently, there isn't a way (that I am aware of) short of removing the contact from FB to prevent them from showing up. Alternatively, consider setting up groups such as Work, Friends, Class, Clan, Gang, Homies... whatever. I use the People widget on my homescreen with twelve or thirteen frequently used contacts and rarely need to go through my contacts at all. And with the People widget it also shows their latest FB Status, tweet, e-mail, missed call or sms. Maybe that helps?

Why not run Beastmod then?
It kills all Sense... Seems like you don't want Sense features since you are using ADW. Why run a bulky ROM for features you don't want?

"1. Is there a way to remove the PULL RING lock screen at all ?

Yes - you can customize which icons are on the lock screen - you get at them from the 'personalize' icon on the home screen - lock screen - settings - and can assign any app to the lock screen.

How to get your normal Home screen back on Sense 5
Tap and hold on any empty area till you get the add widget/app screen with all home screens on top ... select the one screen on top you want as new home , keep it pressed till you get option "Set As Home" on top and then drag it there ...
All done ... you can disable all news items/etc from blinkfeed to save battery ... everytime u press home now you'll get the normal homescreen ... Blinkfeed cannot be removed totally for now but this is the best way to get it out of the way till then

[Q] How to remove "2nd" screen on lockscreen? Widget? (Attached Screenshots)
With my new note 3, I noticed when I turn the screen on and pull the lockscreen down, another screen pops up with an accuweather.com widget attached to an "Upcoming events" calendar. At this screen, if you swipe from right to left, another screen is available with shortcuts on it. How can I disable this 2nd lockscreen? Many times throughout the day I swipe my screen to get into my phone and I end upbringing up this 2nd screen by accident.
Secondly, I have another issue with the lock screen. On my Note 2, I would get a notification... email, facebook etc. from the lock screen I would pull the notification bar down, touch the notification I wanted to look at and the phone would leave the lockscreen and take me to the notification. however, with the note 3, I'll do all of the aforementioned and nothing will happen. I have to swipe open the lockscreen and THEN I will be able to see which notification I selected. Is there anyway to correct this? I hate having to swipe the screen open to see the notification I selected from the notification bar.
I have forcefully uninstalled accuweather widget and 2nd screen is still there. I have disabled all widgets from the lock screen and its still there. I don't know what else to do. Any help is appreciated.

1.) Don't you just long press the said lock screen widget and trash it? The only lock screen widget I can't seem to trash is the favorite apps but it doesn't bother me. I don't use it but it doesn't bother me.
2.) I also would like to see if there was a immediate work around with this but it is my understanding this is how the mop flops and it is what it is.

you are correct. Usually when you want to get rid of a widget you will long press it and it will kind of pop off the screen and you can drag it to the trash can. However if you look at the screenshot I provided, that weather widget on my lockscreen if you long press it nothing happens at all. There's no way for me to get rid of it I have been playing with my phone for 3 days now disabling just about everything in the damn phone and it will not go away. I just want a regular old lock screen with no frills and nothing on it. just like the one I had on my note 2.

will you try something for me? From your lock screen, I want you to swipe it open but touch the screen just below the notification bar and see what happens. If I swipe it left to right in the middle of the bottom of my screen it will unlock the phone. If I swipe it at the top of the screen where the clock is it will swipe over to a different page that has widgets on it. I have went into my settings and into my lock screen settings and disabled everything even the widgets and it is still there.

Just tried it. Just below the notification bar and to the bottom of where the clock/weather would be, nothing happens when I swipe left to right. Below that, swiping left to right opens the lock screen as normal.

Check out these pics. When I swipe at the top of the lock screen like I asked you to do, you can see a WHITE BOARDER around the time. When I swipe that, my lock screen slides to the right and I see a widget. When I swipe at the bottom, the phone unlocks as normal. And as you can see, I have EVERYTHING turned off that would trigger that widget.

Exactly. I don't like it and I don't want it. I don't want to be able to swipe to anything except to unlock my damn phone. Drives me nuts!
There's a simple solution to this. Don't swipe the top twenty five percent of your screen. That's the only part of the screen that has that issue.

There's a simple solution to this. Don't swipe the top twenty five percent of your screen. That's the only part of the screen that has that issue. Swipe in the giant area on the bottom half of the phone. What you're asking for is to go back a version or two of android. The widget lockscreen is part of the operating system

That's not a solution.
so·lu·tion [ sə lsh'n ] 1.way of resolving a problem: a method of successfully correcting a problem or difficulty
My problem is that the screen exists. A solution would be to get rid of it or disable it from being available as a choice.
And, I am NOT asking to go back a version of Android. I'm looking for a workaround to remove that "part of the operating system" or disable it.
Surely, if one can manipulate an OS to be able to load different ROMs, Kernels etc.... it can be manipulated to remove the widget screen rending the lock screen a TRUE lock screen.
Go get an iPhone. They have useless lockscreens. The widget lockscreen is insanely useful, if you don't like that clock widget then put another one there, for instance I have a widget there to constantly be able to control my music and o have it set when I swipe the screen to the left my camera is right there. It's like that to make your life easier. I don't even understand why it annoys you, a "true lock screen" as you say would have you only swiping at one specific point on the screen, as long as you swipe anywhere but the upper part of the screen your phone unlocks fine. You were literally just asking to have a way to get into notifications without having to use the lockscreen, if you ask me that's not a true lockscreen either.

Not just you. I have it too. Very annoying. Completely stock, no root. I turned on multiple, but now when off it stays with the same widget as yours. Trick is not to turn it on ever.

OP asked for assistance. What you are offering has a lot of definitions, but helpful or a solution is not one of them.
Xiaomi has made some very strange choices regarding the lock screen:
1) By default anyone has access to the camera from the lock screen. You have to turn that off in Settings (Lock screen & password > Lock screen shortcuts - disable "Right").
2) There's a strange four-leaf clover symbol in a disk at the top right that gives access to the Wallpaper Carousel. Press the symbol and you get a "Terms and Conditions" dialog. It gives access to buttons at the bottom and swipe left to access Wallpaper Carousel. So anyone who borrows your phone can do things with it. I don't know how to prevent this. I've found no setting to get rid of the clover disk.
3) The status bar is active on the Lock screen with no apparent way to disable it. That gives access to all your toggle buttons, so your connection, your wi-fi and you bluetooth can be turned on or off by anyone. The brightness can be changed, notifications read. The only way I can see to stop access to the toggle buttons is to separate the Notifications & toggles layout (under: Notifications & status bar), which means that you don't have access to them when you've unlocked the phone. Anyone know how to take the status bar off the Lock screen?
This is all very bizzare.
About access status bar on the lockscreen, you can disable it in the settings->Notification&Status bar->last one:"Show on lockscreen"

I saw the setting, changed it, looked at the result and didn't see any difference, so I went back, saw it was headed "Notification Shade", and I didn't understand it so I thought it must have been something else. But I never tested the notification bar. It actually does the job, so thank you! (And I kick myself.)
I just have to find a solution for the first problem now.

Looks like you have already solved this by deactivating this in the settings.

Actually, as I couldn't see any change, I reset it. Your post made me look at it again more closely!
All I need to know now is how to get rid of the Wallpaper Carousel and the four-leaf clover button from the lock screen and I'll be happy.
So I successfully disabled Wallpaper Carousel by using an app called Ice Box which requires root access. Is your device rooted ?

Thanks for the post. I haven't rooted the phone as yet: I still need to get the bootloader unlocked for the TWRP route.
I just uninstalled the Wallpaper Carousel, which also had the desired effect of closing up a gap in the lockscreen.
A ok ! Glad you were able to uninstall it Miui comes with a lot of bloatware preinstalled so you have to tinker around a little bit. I'm eagerly waiting for a stable aosp custom rom for this device to switch to it as I can't stand Miui
Hi guys, is there any way to disable the MIUI lockscreen and use a third party app? I like Muzei with Bing image of the day í ½í¸

You can disable the stock lock screen by going to Setting > Screen lock & fingerprint > Turn off lock. . . .
If you don't have an app wallpaper carousel that's dedicated to the lock screen, you might look at this post on the MIUI forum.
