[Q] Disable Lockscreen Widget animation - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.
greets

[Q] Is it possible to install these power control widgets?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877003
its available in the market ,Purchased it and did not like it .
i prefer the quicksettings app. Like the interface and also its free
I use this now on my streak. I have no widget just the icon bar sitting in my notification area. It displays what is active and what is not. Only compliant is when I click it it opens up widget and fades the background which is an extra step.. also don't like the transparent notification icon.

Okay, that doesn't sound like the same thing. I have the notification bar power control widgets on my Evo and I can toggle them directly from the notification bar.
Well, I just did a Nandroid of my Streak, maybe I'll install it and see what happens.

Email notification on stock lockscreen

I have a question regarding the stock lockscreen (i.e. the default touchwiz lockscreen):
When I receive an email I see no notification on the lockscreen but when I receive a sms message I see a notification on the lockscreen. Can anyone tell my how I can enable it so I can see a email notification on the lockscreen area? And I am not talking about a notification in the notification on the top, which I get. I am using the Samsung email client (i.e the default one).
Thanks
I'm searching for this as well. I didn't even know that new sms notifications would show up on the lock screen until this morning.
It's a really nice built in feature. If it would show emails and missed calls too I wouldn't need an app which would be preferred.
I haven't seen anywhere to edit anything other than the wallpaper of the lockscreen although the manual makes it sound like you can simply long press to edit.
Is this hidden in Samsung Apps or somewhere we wouldn't think to look?
Testing:
Missed calls show too. I guess just Emails don't which is a little odd.
Only missed calls and text messages show on the lock-screen, the only customization allowed on stock lock-screen is clock position and of course the lock-screen wallpaper.
Music widget will also show on lock screen if your using the Samsung music player
Thanks, I didn't know about the music player showing.
Emails would be really nice. A quick link to the camera would be the only other thing.
Good enough for me to not use an app (widgetlocker) though.

[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] Looking for a Notification Mod

I'm looking for a notification mod that would allow me to maintain the look of the lockscreen when I switch my phone on (Note 4 910f).
I've just updated to Lp 5.01 using this custom ROM and noticed the clock/weather/user info etc display is different when the phone is first switched to when it has been unlocked and I return to the lockscreen.
Please see the attachment.
The image on the left is from when I switch it on, and I see the full clock/weather display.
And the image on the right, shows the lockscreen after it's been unlooked and I return to the lockscreen, but the clock has been compressed, there's no weather, pedometer, user info etc.
I still want to receive email/text type notifications on the lockscreen and I still want status bar notifications for apps (like for example AF+ Firewall in this case).
I've tried to disable AF+ Firewall's notifications, but it disables them all (status bar and notification panel) by using "Settings -> Sounds and Notifications -> Application Notifications"
I just need something that displays notifications underneath the full sized clock.
Thank you for any help.

I don't know if this helps you: I use "lock screen clock mods" to alter the clock, then I prevent the notifications from showing on the lockscreen to then show them in "nils" (notifications on lockscreen) instead. This is what it looks like on both the locked and the unlocked lockscreen:http://imgur.com/UFFcdHg
Edit: I don't know is the nils part is necessary, it just looks best for me.

I've just tried "lock screen clock mods", but whatever changes I make to the clock, it doesn't alter anything when I apply it (also rebooting).
I'm not sure what you mean by "nils", Is that altering a value to zero somewhere in the code?
I've also tried "NotifyClean", but that doesn't stop any notifications on the lock screen, but does when the phone is in use.

I disabled the notifications completely in the rom: "Settings -> notifications and sounds -> when screen is locked". They don't show on my (stock Sony) lock screen even when unlocked. With Nils I mean this app and I don't know why the mods don't work for you.

Yes, I know those settings.
I've just tried "Nils". It sort of works.
If I disable a specific apps in "Settings -> notifications and sounds -> when screen is locked", I loose the icon in the status bar, which I want to keep.
If I don't disable it, when on the lock screen, I get a notification at the top of the screen and a repeat in Nils.
I think something needs fixing in Lp, to do want I want it to do.
I think I need to go back to KK or wait for Lp 5.1.1. or M.

Several requests

I'm running Nougat crDroid with Magisk & TWRP for reference.
Are there things that let me:
Automize Notifications(i.e. dismiss 'Google Play has installed x' notifications after 5 seconds)
Let me swipe away any notification there is
Enable a very slight palm rejection at the edge of the phone(disable every 3rd pixel on the edge from input, for e.g.)
Have systemwide Vibration control(a list of all vibration strengths/patterns for each thing)
Have a Notification Center(similar to iOS, a place to 'store' all your notifications, but an app for e.g.)
Customize the Network & WiFi Statusbar/Shade icons(I don't like how turning off celullar data makes an 'X' appear, for e.g.)
Customize my Statusbar
Have a full screen notification shade(the notification shade isn't fullscreen in landscape)
Have a statusbar at the bottom
Control how the power button locks the phone(I'd prefer to have it lock 2 minutes after turning it off, rather than instantly, but still go to the lock screen.)
Control animations systemwide(turn off/change speed of particular animations)
Have my battery bar below the statusbar
Always have a black Status Bar
Have better control over auto-rotate
Remove the scroll bounce/reflection
Customize the Lock Screen
Customize the Notification Shade
Make the Notification Shade(and notifications in general) more compact
Have better control over when quick settings and the whole notification shade appear when swiping down
Customize CPU clocks and enabled cores using profiles(like SetCPU)
And if there are any other things I can use to customize, or any app lists please tell me(preferably not Xposed).
i haven't read all of your needs nut im pretty much sure that you can find good hope in Tasker
