Would it be possible to (or does some rom already have it that I don't know about) make it so that lockscreen widgets in 4.2 can be fully expanded by default and then unlocked just by swiping the unlock up? So basically the widget could be shrunk back and the phone unlocked all in one motion?
This would basically unlock in a similar way to HTC Sense. I'm just not a huge fan of having to first shrink the widget and then unlock as it feels like a totally unnecessary step.
I think Xylon has quick press and hold to unlock, but I found Xylon to be pretty unstable on my VZW nexus. Could that functionality be ported to any rom? If it matters I'm running Liquid Smooth Beta.
Any help would be awesome. Thanks.
Team sourcery rom has auto maximize widgets and long press lock key to unlock phone. Works very well for what you are looking for

right, I've done that but it still takes two swipes to unlock. One up and one to the right. Not a huge deal but I'd like a quicker unlock option.

I don't think that option is available in CM10. I think it's just like that by default.

On one of the Galaxy S ROMs I used, I could change the statusbar's location to the bottom of the screen, and I could then swipe up for my notifications. Is that possible with my rooted d2att 4.2.2 phone?

Look for a ROM that allows for UI more to be changed from phone to tablet.

The Nexus devices show a transparent floating list on the right side of the screen where you can swipe away open apps, CM goes one step further and gives you a button to close all open apps. The HTC One takes you to another screen with really small pictures of apps you swipe away one by one to close. Ideally I am looking for the CM version of that, or would even settle for the stock Google version.
Wait until the Google edition then flash that.

TrickDroid rom has an option in its settings to change from sense multitasking to the nexus style you are referring to. Only thing is there is no close all option like CM.

Its a framework change. I've done it before on another phone. And by the way, you don't need to wait for the google edition. CM10.1 is exactly that with more features.

You'll probably have to ask someone to make it for you specifically, or Flash TrickDroid which isn't far off a stock rom other than some theme options

It seems like the app checks for resolution and/or screen density. Restoring the nav bar height to stock fixed it for me.

That's great in theory but you get misaligned themes then that look ugly / don't work properly. I'm watching the app but until they can support full screen I won't be using it.

Yes, it actually does. I'm using CM10.2 NIGHTLY, and it works fine. Plus, many other people with custom roms say it works. If you're on a Nexus 4, or any other device with no hardware keys and just soft keys, make sure that soft keys are ENABLED. (if this STILL doesn't work, I think it must be that it only works with AOSP roms)

You pointed out the reason why they don't support custom nav bar height / expanded desktop: how can they possibly align the themes if there are thousands of space configurations for the same device? Supporting the stock configuration seems like the most logical and reasonable choice.

This is only a Beta app and this kind of support has to come or it will ale off massively imo.
I was using Buzz Launcher until recently and that handles many screen sizes / configurations without issue. I feel in time Themer can achieve or even surpass this level.

Works PERFECT on my Nexus 4 running 4.4 PSX v2 ROM Should work on ANY ROM.
Found this app while browsing in personalization category in playsore, both apps are FREE and they're really smooth, customizable and cristal clear, I saw many people trying to port other devices lockscreens to the Nexus 4 but failed, download it while you can before Google take it down from the play store
Don't forget to press thanks if this helped you in any way, thanks in advance!
Note 12/22/13: In order to remove the lockscreen delay move this app from user app to system app, it'll still have a little delay if you lock and unlock too fast (1 second lock)
You can move an user app to system with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.galaxy
Note: This app asked me for root and I granted it, I don't know if it can be used without root.

I was wondering if developers in XDA will be able to port those lockscreens into default lockscreens in their ROMs, or maybe they could look at the apk and figure how to make more lockscreens with other effects, like Xperia Z and so on(?)
If the music controls worked then I would've used it probably.

Custom wallpaper is being used currently on my N4
While in background these apps use ~25 Mb memory. While unlocking it goes up to 60Mb which I think is quite obvious. Not a big thing to worry about as those other devices out there use way to much than this. Also there are no music controls idk if those are provided with OEM devices or not. But good thing is, we still have expandable status bar while in lock screen and can be used to control music.
Edit : One problem seems to be that we cannot use kill all button in recents menu, it kills the custom lock screen process.

The lock screen widgets are the same as 5.5. Just swipe from the top of the screen and it will bring you to another screen where you can add them.
Edit: maybe not...I swear it let me on version 3.0 but on 3.1 I'm not able to swipe over.

Gestures from lock screen
I was running the Sense 6.0 from Santod yesterday and lost support for gestures only when using a 3rd party launcher. I think that's sense related and not ROM related, so hopefully that helps guys.
Running Sense 6 great
I'm running NuSense6 4.6 from santod with no issues. Sense 6 works well and battery life is phenomenal (3-4%/hr with light usage). Extreme Power Saver turns it into a touch screen flip phone, but was in standby overnight for 8 hrs and used 3% of battery. Very pleased!
