I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to get a lockscreen that is part of the system, not an app. I have tried 4 3 different apps and non of them work right. They all freeze the system when i use the power button to put it to sleep, i get a white screen and nothing else. Please don't suggest any apps that is not what i asked this question for. I want a lockscreen that is part of the franework.
There is a screen lock in settings. You have the options of pattern, PIN or password. You will find it in Location and security settings.
No I know about that one. I mean a slide style lockscreen. Like on most android devices

no hope for original one, you may install WidgetLocker to re-enable it.
i tried widgetlocker and everytime i use the power button to put to sleep and then try to wake up all i get is a blank white screen. i dont get it.
On Widgetlocker, (or in any other launchers) I can make a shortcut button to make a post on Friendcaster. This lets me jump right into making a Facebook status without having to go into a program, and then hitting the update button. I had these shortcut links both on my home screen and on my lockscreen (so I wouldn't even have to unlock the phone... just just get an immediate pop up to type an update)
I like the ripple effect of the touchwiz lock screen, and I have some shortcuts set up there... but it seems that you can only give links to full apps, and not the 'shortcuts' that the launchers or other lockscreens allow. There is normally one called 'Post' ...but on the touchwiz one if just gives full app names. Anyone know a way around this? Thanks.
The lock screen is only coded to allow applications, rather than specific functions of applications.
So no.
Hey guys,
i've tried some of the new 4.2 JB Custom Roms (JellyBam 5.2, RootBox 3.6, ReVolt 3.2).
I like them all in general (except for that camrea issue, but i could fix that with AOSP Camera mod).
Now here is the problem and i guess its me:
When i change the security lockscreen to pattern or pin, the lockring with the shortcuts doesnt appear anymore!
This really bugs me. Where is the sense to select lockring apps (shortcuts), when everytime i turn the phone back on (wake it up), the phone directly goes to the pin/pattern. So it's like "unlock without swipe"!
I tried wiping, reseting and all of that in CWM, but the problem still appears.
What confuses me as well is the possibility to change the security options in the "rom controls" or the phone settings. When i change something it gets changed at both places.
Hope somebody can help me with this...
Greetz,

Erm.....maybe because via the shortcuts, when you exit the app you are back on the home screen, so no security! No point in having a secure lock screen, then having 5 shortcuts to by pass it!
Surely. But this way, anybody can access the phone.
If i have to swipe to get to pin/pattern, its secure.
And i can access some apps (via shortcuts on lockring) directly!
See my problem?
Hey There,
Im running SlimKat on my Nexus S. Unfortunately I can`t edit my lockscreen. Anyway, there is a dashclock widget on the lockscreen. I want to replace it with a different widget. How can I do this without Lockscreen Settings within the Rom (SlimKat Bulid 3)?
Thanks in advance!

Same problem here.
The dashclock app doesn't show my messages, missed calls, whatsapp messages and email. It only shows temperature and gmail email count.
Noone knows about that?!?!
Put your finger on the clock, drag it down to the lock icon, now you have a settings icon on the right of the clock.

Moreover go to Settings > Security > Check 'Enable widgets' under 'Screen Security'.
Go to the lockscreen then press and hold the finger on the left and swype to the right to show up a new screen to be able to add new widgets.

That was the first one I tried I've gone through the whole settings menu at least 5 times but not a thing about changing the widgets on lockscreen. At least I got rid of the Dashclock widget by disabling the app.

Just to add to what has already been posted, I was Googling for a solution, found it and then found this thread. I am running Slimkat on my LG G Pad 8.3. Adding extensions to Dashclock can help. To edit settings, on the standard Slimkat lockscreen, there is a small gear icon on the right-hand side of the clock, tap that, unlock your screen, and an "Extensions" screen pops up. Extensions can also be deleted at will.
There aren't many extensions installed by default (4 or 5 I think) but you can add more through the Play Store (tap on the top right hand side menu, then tap Get more extensions).

That's the thing. I don't have the small gear. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hruw3tge69ir7qv/2014-05-08 19.52.41.png
Are you using Dashclock or another type of widget?
If you tap once on the clock, then unlock, what does your screen show?
If you press and hold just under the clock, can you tap on a giant "+" that appears on the left (and add another widget) or delete the clock widget altogether by sliding it to the left on the Remove option?

thank you... I was looking for just this.
Hi Guys,
I'm pretty new to EMUI but I got this anoying thing. When I am using WhatsappWeb for example and I get several notifications, my phone unlocks itself and goes to the homescreen without any need to swipe on the lockscreen. This also occures when I lock and directly unlock it over the buttons (home or power), it just jump over the lockscreen like I would have swiped.
It is probably configuration based, something like "10 seconds after locking -> quick unlock" or something but I havent found out yet.
I want to swipe everytime to unlock the lockscreen and for sure notifications shouldnt be able unlock the phone.
I dont have pattern/PIN/password lock or fingerprint enabled.
Thanks
For this, you could use faceunlock + pin or faceunlock + scheme.
Whith faceunlock, there is an option to unlock only after you slide...
