Hi all!
I just installed "lockbot" thats an lockscreen replacement. Looks great but the problem is, i keep getting my default lockscreen over my lockbot-lockscreen. I tried installing "no-lock" that would disable the default lockscreen, but that doesn't work.
So now everytime i press the powerbutton my screen goes black, i press any button then i see my default (android) lockscreen, i unlock that, and then i see the lockbot lockscreen.
Any way to disable the default (android) lockscreen?
Thanks in advance!
i fixed it, for somekind of reason the "nolock" app was interfering with the lockbot. its working now...

Is there a way to have the "swipe" lockscreen wall paper enabled when a lockscreen (pin/password) is turned on?
I like the Samsung wallpaper lockscreen. I also like to keep my phone locked with a pin/password as well.
I want to know if I can have both enabled and functional ?
Thanks.
ummm, I'm not sure what you mean?
You want the Samsung lockscreen (the one where you drag the static wallpaper) AND the pin/pattern lockscreen enabled simultaneously?
I wouldn't think you could.... This doesn't make much sense (no offense), or I am confused.
The Samsung lockscreen is nice (visually) but offers no security. You swipe and it goes away. But I DO like the way it works (swipe wallpaper) AND need security.
Just curious.
Android 2.3.x only lets you do this when your using the the pin lock. When you use the pattern lock it wont let you use both. So change your security to pin and ull see both the swipe screen and then the pin screen. Least thats how it worked on mine when i had it.
I want to thank everyone on here for the replies over the last two days on my other questions.
One thing I want is to get DashClock as the default lock screen, but I can only get it to the "screen on the right of my normal launch screen" and am unable to delete the default lock screen and make DashClock take over the "one on the left" that is the default.
Has anyone gotten DashClock to work properly with the new HTC One, and if so, please tell me how.
Thank you all,
I haven't been able to figure out how to get a different widget on the "main" homescreen, either. I was able to swipe to the left (to go right) and place a widget on that homescreen, but no way to change the default that I can see.

Not sure I understand your issue. You can remove the default widget(s) on the device by simply pressing and holding, then dragging them off the screen. You can also modify the home screens in Settings --> Personalize --> Manage Home Screen Pages. You can switch which screen is "home" and even remove a whole screen.
As far as adding apps/widgets/homescreens, just press and hold a blank space on the screen and utilize the dropdown menu.
I have Dashclock running just fine on my M8, and use it for Daydream. Only issue I don't like is that to get it to Daydream horizontally, I have to start Daydream manually with the phone horizontal. Wish it would autosense that.

Like everyone else is stating, we can add DashClock to the right, move, edit and remove the DashClock lock widget screen, but it is always to the right of the "home lock screen" thus if I want to see it I need to swipe from the very top of the lock screen to see what is to the right of it.
The "home lock screen" is unable to be "removed' since the "remove" button is greyed out for that, I can only "edit". When I want to remove or edit the DashClock lock screen both the "edit" and "remove" are available, but not on the default lock screen widget.
No one else has bene able to get DashClock on the main lock screen because I can't drag DashClock to the left, and I can't drag the home screen lock widget to the right, even though I can see both when I have DashClock "held down" to move, it just won't go to the left of the defaul "home lock screen" to then make DashClock the default view.

I mistakenly referred to "homescreen" instead of "lockscreen." Sorry for the confusion...

To tell the truth, I haven't figured out how to add widgets to the lockscreen..... I use a PIN anyway so not sure it would make a difference.
Go to Settings > Security > Enable Lock Screen Widget.
Full details...
Doesn't work you can't move or remove the main lock screen. I can edit and move and lock screens I add to the right, but not the default main one.

Any update?
Don't suppose anyone have found a solution to this?
Id would be nice to at least be able to add another widget under the stock lockscreen clock widget.
Not for dash clock but for Nils you can use the floating widget and it works fine

So has anyone figured a way to remove the crappy default lock screen widget? I don't get why anyone would want to use this ****ty one when Dashclock is far superiour.
I still can't remove the main widget OR get the Dashclock to become the main widget "on the left".
Anyone?

Well I bit the bullet and bought "Widget Locker" just so I could get a proper lock screen. Bull**** I have to pay $2.99 to get my lock screen up.
You normally have to go to Settings>Security and allow widgets first, then you can add a new one and delete the original (at least that's how you do it on the Nexus 5)

Eddy, thank you for the reply but clearly you haven't read a single thing on this thread. Anyone can add as many widgets as they want, but they can't delete the default one on the home screen, so we are stuck with it because the "remove" is greyed out for the default. I can have DashClock widget to the right of my main one, but that does no one any good.
It is impossible to remove the default widget, or move it to a position where it is not the default. The only way to get DashClock widget properly installed on this ever increasingly ****ty phone is to pay $2.99 for a program to unlock it.

Chill, dude - I had read it, just missed the bit about the stock one being greyed out, just thought you were having issues making the new one the 'home' one! Surprised HTC have done that, kinda sucks as I prefer to have Chronus as my lockscreen widget of choice...

this is the product of the f***ing Standard clock on the 1st Lockscreen page. You cannot delete it, you cannot move it to 2nd Screen, so to have a e.g. nice Dashclock, you always have to Swipe right or left.
Dirty solution atm for me is NiLS with Floating Panel on stock lockscreen. I would use the AOSP lockscreen with Dashclock (running ViperOne), but it's lacking off DoubleTap2Wake function. And after 1 week, it's a thing Icannot live without anymore
AOSP Lock Screen
I haven't tried this yet on my M8 so YMMV, but it worked for getting the AOSP lock screen on my Sense M7...requires root...
Titanium backup
Backup/Uninstall HTC lock screen
Reboot
Terminal or ADB
su
am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity;
So on a non rooted ATT HTC M8 is there no way to get full lock screen cover art? I get the little bitty music player control but nothing like the infinitely superior lock screen cover art from IOS.
Thanks
David.

You can add a widget to your lock screen. You'll have to swipe to get to it but it provides the 4x4 music widget.
Go to settings > security > enable lockscreen widgets
Lock the phone, wake it up, swipe from the right hand edge of the phone until you see +. Then add the widget.

Thanks for the reply. Apparently the above widget that you referenced only works when playing music from the OEM music player.
There is no Google Play Music widget available as a lock screen widget.
This is on knock on Android or is it specific to HTC? With iOS any music/audio/podcast is available on the lock screen as cover art.
I have an lg g3 and i really want to try to use a custom lock screen. without rooting. however as we all know the tap to lock function ceases to work if you change the lock screen. any suggestions? im sure this is already covered but i was wondering if there was a lock screen out there that has gestures so like with nova launcher. you can just enable a lock the screen or turn off the screen app.
I am aware of this. Could you rephrase your statement? as it does not really answer my question. I'm not using the stock launcher. I'm using nova launcher. I know that you can use a non stock launcher and still tap the screen but for the lock screen you have to tap the notification bar if you want to use a non-stock lockscreen. What I want to do see if there is a way around it
