I was wondering if there is any way to hide the taskbar when the screen is locked, but have it shown when using the phone. It would make my phone look absolutely amazing. I'm using the clear lockscreen mod, with the Sprint banner replaced by a space. If there is a way to do this, it would basically make the phone a digital picture frame with a clock on it. See the screen for what I mean.
I didn't want a new thread, but is there any way to extend the timer before the screen turns off before you unlock the device?

Are you talking about the screen timeout? menu - settings - display?
No, I mean the base slide lock screen, from when you first turn on the device. Is there a way to control how long it will display the clock and wallpaper before turning the screen off due to no entry?

I often find myself wanting to show someone a picture or current screen display, but when I hand them my phone either touching the screen or one of the buttons or making that gesture suddenly changes the screen, or moves the picture. Is there some way to freeze the screen on purpose so it can be passed around safely?
I know about screen capture programs (Screenshot, Shootme) and the screen capture built into some ROMs Power Menu, but those don't keep the resulting scene on the screen (one needs to use a file program to find the graphic, which is clumsy and time consuming).
I agree, i always give my phone to my relatives or friends and they always press the back or home button somehow -.-!
One solution , would be to use a transparent lock screen with a very small unlock toggle ...
Lock it , hand it to them ...
Screenshot would do

This sounds just right, but is there such a lock screen available?

I have that program, and it works well, but after taking the shot one needs to recall the complex name and directory, and once found the viewing program has all the buttons active. I have a shortcut to Astro opening in the directory, but even with a half dozen thumbnails, it isn't clear sometimes which one I want to show. I don't see any option to freeze the view.

I don't have the link, but search around , there are some threads on transparent lockscreens ...
Not sure but you may be able to do it with just a transparent .png and setting that as your lockscreen background, but that is just a guess ....
Is there any way to change the position of clock and weather on lock screen from top to bottom. I don't understand why did Samsung remove this very useful feature that was available on Note 1. Or I am just stupid and the setting is somewhere in Settings menu?
Still looking..
Any luck yet ?
If yes, can you please direct me... thanks

I just recently rooted to 4.3 and I just noticed today that my lock screen clock is off center. It appears to be aligned to the left. Has anyone else noticed this or know of a fix to align this?
thanks!

I see the same thing( non-root ). I couldn't find an option to center it.
I did set the Clock size from Small to Large in the Lock screen widgets, and it made it look a little better.
Clock Left Alignment
Yeah I shiver every time I go to unlock my phone with the clock off center. I have looked around a bit to see if I could change the settings but as said before it only gives the option to change Size and add date. I just received a text message and it shows on my lock screen and I can see why they put it more to the left but if I turn off the text preview I thought it may correct the clock.
I just updated this morning and will search around but I am still trying to figure out a few things. If anyone has a fix for the following i would <3 you!
1. I hate the text messaging images now(picture of contact) any way to turn off?
2. I want the status bar text preview but not on my lock screen. Option combines the preview for the status bar and lock screen.
3. I dont want the notification box to open on my lock screen. "New Message"
If anyone has any advice or would like to tell me to suck it up please let me know!
Hello,
The lock screen on my phone is much less bright than the home screen. I know this is supposed to happen, but is there any way to disable or change this so that my lock screen is the same brightness as the home screen? It would make reading the clock in light much easier. I've tried a few lock screen replacements but most of them include a "swipe to unlock" or don't work too well with the lockscreen music player and notifications.
Additionally, if there's a way to make the pattern lock dots invisible, that would be nice.
Phone I'm currently using is a Samsung Galaxy Fame.
Thanks!
Sir,
Please stand by until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
For more questions about that or reply to the thread you must register an account on XDA.
Thanks
Hi
I use nova launcher prime and am used to a shortcut on my screen to quickly lock the screen instead of using the hardware button to lock the screen. However since I have moved over to p2.. After I press the lock screen shortcut from nova the screen for goes black but the screen isn't locked... It is not till 10 secs later when the screen actually locks
I hate this feature as it stops me from putting the phone into my pocket instantly after locking. How to fix this? I have set up power button to instantly lock the phone after sleep.
It's not P2s problem it's Android's security feature. You'll need root access to instantly lock screen
But from quicktiles there is an icon to do it

Thanks yes i came across that as well... However it is really a total failure on Android part to not have anything built in to allow people to instantly lock... Isn't there any way to put a shortcut to the system icon on my desktop? In stock launcher or otherwise?
Unfortunately looks like Android is going the way of Apple with these silly restrictions becoming more n more common
Well it's a security feature which means they've probably found something wrong with putting a quick lock from 3rd party apps.
Use "Wide touch" found under Setting->Feature. You can assign multiple gesture into it.
