How does one do a pin shortcut? Since switching from nougat, I lost the ability to do pinned shortcuts. This bums me out.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum, or has been asked before but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
I spent quite a few hours making my lock screen just the way I like it except for a couple two things I can't sort out. Is it possible to remove the Home, Back and Task button from the lockscreen and add a hidden slider or pattern unlock? I'd like to keep the lock screen as clean as possible while still having some security.
Thanks
About two weeks ago, while playing with my phone, a thought occured to me -- why do I have a lockscreen? I then removed my lockscreen all together so that when I hit my power button I'm on my home screen. Lockscreens made sense back when they were keyguards and you had hard buttons and could easly, easily pocket dial someone. But other than me being brainwashed by my mobile OSes for years, I couldn't figure out a solid reason to actually use a lockscreen.
I've been going straight no lockscreen since my epiphany, and it's not been a problem at all. Before switching back to BSX, I just put DashClock as my homescreen widget and it provided the same convenience as me checking my lockscreen. And even now with BSX, I have unread counts in my launcher, so I'm still not missing any of the information I routinely kept on my lockscreen. I've not pocket dialed, or answered, anyone, and I've cut out what I completely unrealistically imagine would've accumulated to years of my life spent "sliding to unlock" my phone.
So... my question. Why do you use a lockscreen? Do you actually need it? Or do you, too, just use it because that's what you do. You have a lockscreen.
No, I use one for pattern lock.
Not sure why I'm using mine still, I haven't had a password in a while. Maybe I should put it back...
Hi. When I received the phone, out of the box security was not enabled and I was able to unlock the screen only by sliding the pad lock UP on the lock screen.
This worked well for me as I could read all notifications while locked, without unlocking the phone.
I then tried out the other security methods including Pattern. Didn't like it and wanted to go back to slide to unlock.
Under Security there is not a Slide to Unlock option.
Now, if I leave it as No Security, anything unlocks the screen, even a tap.
How do I get the original pad lock Slide to Unlock feature back?
A hard reset?
Sorry if this has been answered before, I did a quick search and didn't find a thread.
Thanks.
Set it to wallpaper lockscreen. Personally I use productivity so my messages go on lockscreen
Btw option is under settings / personalization / lockscreen type

Same Issue
Hello I am currently having the same issue with my lock screen. I hadn't even realized that switching the lock screen type was the reason, but it makes sense. Did you find a way to fix it? The above poster's method did not work for me.
Thanks for putting this problem in words!
So it looks like this is an issue that happens whenever you have an accessibility setting enabled as described here. This goes for any accessibility settings... Can someone confirm if this still happens with other Sense ROMs or if this only happens with stock?

Can't seem to find a fix for it though, hopefully with 4.2.2
Hi guys! Made a fix for this issue please refer to this thread.

Please report if it doesn't work.
It has been so long since I used Widgetlocker. I am now back to using it because I want to change from stock. I have setup how I want my lockscreen but it would not stick. What I mean is, it does not disable stock lockscreen. When I lock my screen to check, the lockscreen did not change, still stock.
Anyone???
Never mind. Just realised WL is old and no one uses it anymore. Was last updated December 2013. Unfortunate. I paid for it years ago and used to always use it.
Hi guys, long time lurker.
So I've had this phone since last summer and I've been following this area for a while now looking for a way to root. But since my bootloader was locked I haven't had any luck.
Anyways, I really hate softkeys. They look ugly to me and since I'm right-handed, the placement of the back button the left has been very inconvenient. I've been using pie controls since my galaxy nexus and found it much easier to navigate.
I was wondering if there was any way to tweak the phone to either remove the softkeys permanently so I can just rely on pie controls. I know there are apps that temporarily do this, but another reason why I would rather have it permanently removed is so that my dock can align with the very bottom of the screen.
This question is kinda niche since I'm sacrificing more function for design and if pie controls crash I'll need to reset, but that's just how I am. I was just curious on what my options are. This phone is a beaut and it's a shame I can't root
