Hi, Im using dashclock on my lockscreen and ive got it maximised by default, and when a notification comes in I click it to open the notification and I have to enter my pin. That all works fine and im happy with that. The problem I have is when I dont have any notifications,I don't want dashclock to be maximised, I want to have my pin pattern there, I dont want to have to swipe up to open it. I don't know if there's anyway around this?
I suppose (and forgive me for this) im looking for something similar to the IOS lockscreen in terms of notifications and unlocking, but I dislike the idea of having a replacement lockscreen as I find they're slow and aren't smooth.
Im using Xperia Z2 (4.4) and im rooted.

ICS allows for an amazing feature to access the notifications in the status bar even when the phone is locked. Can this feature be somehow ported to GB?? It would be pretty useful, ryt?? :silly:

How's it useful? I have that 'feature' on stock ROM too, and i still have to see the point behind it, what good is locking the screen if it's not completely locked? Seems more like a flaw to me, I wish I could get rid of it
EDIT: Ok, apparently I had it with Go Locker, as soon as I removed it the feature disappeared too... So there's your answer. Check 'Go Locker' if you want access to the notification bar in lock screen.
I seem to have a little issue with the lockscreen on ICS. I'm currently using the mainly stock, but rooted ICS rom. On the lockscreen, whenever i set it to any security lock other than "Slide," I can no longer see the music player or any notifications from the convenience of the lockscreen. On the Jellybean rom (CM10) I tried there was an option to 'Show Widgets on Lockscreen" which overcame this problem. Now I'm pretty sure Samsung in all their infinite wisdom could not have possibly programmed TouchWiz to do this lockscreen BS. Is there anyway I can set it to a more default ICS lockscreen look, where I can see notifications, and maybe have some shortcuts on the lockscreen?
Forget using that stupid pattern lockscreen. It will protect you about as much as a broken condom in Africa. Seriously there are only 362,880 patterns possible and any crap laptop could bruteforce that small of a number in no time at all. Besides if i steal your phone i don't care about your data, im just going to wipe the device from recovery and sell it. If its a girlfriend you need to keep out then there are ways of hiding everything incriminating using a few choice apps without locking the phone which ALWAYS makes girls suspicious.
But seriously, you either want your device locked or not. No one is going to make a security lockscreen that displays personal info. That's insane.
Just wondering is there any mod or for galaxy s3 which can make it behave like IOS like lockscreen notification.
Its really annoying in GS3 to unlock and then check the email or any other notification. Screen doesn't even light up whenever there is new email.
Any solutions? I am on AOKP build 4

The Samsung ROM lets you put an email shortcut on the lockscreen, this gets the bubble with the number on if there is any new emails. SMS pops up on its own, even wakes the screen. I don't know what AOKP is.
thanks, I know about the Stock feature.. but AOKP is lot smoother and bloatware free, really don't want to go back.
yeah i got a solution and a very simple fix. if you want IOS(crap un-needed features) GET A IPHONE! simple fix hope i helped LOL
ok ok fun time over download this app problem solved
Bloatware has nothing to do with aokp.
Aokp and -based roms are usually bloatware-free but you only need root to get rid of it on any rom.
There are literally tons of different lockscreens in the play store, just try them out.

Hey guys
I was just wondering if there was any way to make the lockscreen widgets show more information without swiping down to show it?
I'm using 200dpi so it is quite a bit less than stock...
I used DashClock and saw that it was the same thing as CM's cLock...
For instance, if you have 2-3 calender events, some of them will be cut off until you swipe down to unlock the widget. Is there any way to make the "viewing" part bigger so that I don't have to open the widget every time? It drives me nuts...I just want to turn on my phone and see the information there, not have to swipe open again...
Thanks guys,
Elliott
Bump...anyone?
Bumpity bump!

I don't know what you're using to change DPI (Xposed mod, or paranoid preference). If it's paranoid preferences, try this:
In paranoid preferences, go tools, select expert mode.
Then in per app settings, you'll have the option to 'force' or 'large'. Try playing around with these, possibly for dashclock, systemui or Androidsystem. I don't know if this will help, as I don't use an overall lower dpi, only for some apps.
Apologies if that doesn't help your situation at all.

Thanks for trying but I'm using ROM Toolbox to change the DPI...running CM10.1.
Hey guys,
I'm using the AOSB 1.2.8 Kitkat 4.4.2 on my i9100G and firstly, I gotta say it's really nice!
I'm having some customizations issues tho...
for one, I didn't find how to increase the number of home screens. Is it capped at 3 with the launcher3 homescreen? can I have more if I use the google one? just need to switch and restart the phone then?
Secondly, I love that feature to access ur notifications and apps quickly from the lockscreen but sadly you can't combine this with any kind of security. I've tried pattern, PIN and so on, but then the lock screen features are gone. It's basically one or the other. any fix/trick on that?
and finally, a noob question but is there a way to get a notification upon the birthday of someone in your contact list?
thanks everyone for ur help,
wedgy
For your first question.. To add another screen you can try to drop an app to a non existent desktop and the launcher automatically creates another screen.
Or try Nova launcher, it's beautiful.
