Customize PIN lock screen? - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

Hey guys,
I don't really like HTC's lockscreens, so I disabled it. I have Android's security set to PIN, but I really don't like the PIN lock screen either. It's boring, gray colored, has some weather info at the top I really don't need, etc. I'd like a more cohesive experience.
So what I'm wondering is, can I set up a PIN lock screen that's just a simple PIN keypad on top of my wallpaper? I'd use WidgetLocker but that only deals with sliders, not keypads.
Thanks.

[Q] WidgetLocker full screen slider?

I'm looking at using WidgetLocker to replace the lockscreen on the Note. But one of the things I love about the default lock screen is that I can slide my figer anywhere on the screen to unlock it.
Is there anything like that with WidgetLocker or any way to configure it?
Yes I've been looking for that too...hopefully someone will have a suggestion.

use shortcuts with Pattern Unlock lock screen?

is it possible to have shortcuts with the Pattern unlock lock screen?
I would like to have shortcurts to the Camera and Dialer while still have security provided with a Pattern unlock.
Is this possible with a completely stock (no rooting no anything) S III on Verizon?
Or do I need to install one of those lock screen apps? I'd prefer to remain completely stock for now if possible..

If you had shortcuts of any kind, that would kill the security.........
I wish Google would implement their Touch Gesture Actions From A Device’s Lock Screen idea asap... providing shortcut functionality without sacrificing security would be better than those 3rd party lock screens.

Not sure about defining shortcuts. but i used pattern lock and if I hold finger on screen, rotate to landscape, then swipe pattern, it launches camera.
if i have a missed call or text there is a circle on the lock screen with the qty and if i swipe off that circle then enter pattern it takes me right to that app (missed calls or messaging).

I don't care about security for the camera or dialer.
I know there is the camera motion shortcut thing but I like the clickable widget better. I want to have the capability to define widgets on the lock screen like you can when you don't have any security. But I want it with the pattern unlock. I guess this is not available out of the box? And needs a special app?

I would like the same thing... you can get it on the standard swipe to unlock so why not the pattern lock... I have tried various lockscreens but their not without their flaw...
Widget locker.. has lots of customisation and you can add custom sliders and widgets but... its buggy prone to crashing and takes a fair bit of tweaking to be secure (ie if you dont select correct setting you can unlock with just the home key) , sometimes have to unlock twice and it always request superuser access even when the phone is in standy ... so drains battery more than it should.
Go Locker - didnt like this at all just didnt seem secure... first version could be bypassed easily... plent of themes though if security is not a priority.

[Q] Using your own clock widget on the lock screen?

So I made a nice clock widget with UCCW and I have it set up on my home screen. I want to use it on my lock screen as well with PIN security. I can set up the UCCW click widget if there is no security on the lock screen - ie 'swipe to unlock'. But if I set up my own clock, then change security to use pin, the old default clock appears. Is there any way around this?
I am assuming you are using the stock rom with the device and that you have not changed your locker?
Unfortunately the S4 locker is somewhat limited in that capabilities - you can add it but won't be on the same screen that has the pattern, it is really limited in what it can do to that end.
You could try a different locker.

[Q] Custom PIN Lock Screen Widget

Hi all,
I'm running CM11 Nightly (20140107) on my GT-I9195 (S4 Mini). I'm required to have a PIN lock due to Exchange Policy, but I am able to modify the lock screen widgets. Since I have lowered the DPI for my System UI, I have quite a lot of room available above the PIN lock.
Apart from the date, time, weather and agenda provided by the cLock widget, I think I should be able to fit some more things in there, for example additional system information or some application shortcuts. I would like to have date, time and weather on the top-left, some other widget(s) on the top-right, and full-width agenda underneath.
However, I think you are only allowed to have two full-screen widgets on the lock screen; one default, and another one when you scroll to the left. So, I guess I should use some 'super' widget for this; a widget that is simply a container for other widgets. Does anyone know whether something like this exists? I have found Widget Maker in the Play Store which seems to fit my needs, but although it works fine as a regular home screen widget, it does not show up in the list of widgets when adding a lock screen widget.
Please note that I'm aware of WidgetLocker; I've used this before. The drawback is that you need two steps to unlock your device; first dismiss WidgetLocker, then enter your device PIN. So if possible, I would like to combine the standard PIN lock screen with multiple custom widgets.
Any suggestions?
