Finding a few bugs in the verizon version, I'm guessing the GMS version should be seeing the same issues.
I've replaced ICS Home Screen with ADW, now the 3 little dots menu shows up on the lock screen and I can click it and exit the lock screen without sliding to unlock. Also I can pull down the notification menu while locked and using ADW. (feature not an issue)
I'm guessing its a bug when the home screen doesn't support 4.0?
Also, if I leave the camera running and hit power to shut off the phones screen I have a 1 in 20 shot of locking up the camera app and making the camera in accessible without a reboot.
Anyone else have some good ICS issues?
One of your bugs is a documented ICS feature:
notifications available on lockscreen.
the 3 dots on lockscreen is an ADW issue.
notification pull-down on lockscreen is a stock ICS feature.

I never noticed using the ICS home screen. Thank you for the clarification!

Yes/No.. Though the issue is related to ADW, I believe its more an issue of non-4.0 home screen running and ICS allowing that to bleed through the lock screen. On the plus side, if you use PIN or some other secured method, hitting the dots doesn't close the lock screen. Still a bug in my opinion that it bleeds through.

That's my point. If ADW was properly setup for 4.0 then the menu soft button wouldn't be there on the lockscreen.
About half the time, when I swipe the lock screen to unlock, the camera app opens. This is annoying. Is this a bug, or is it a feature? Does anybody know a way to turn it off? I can't find anything in settings that seems to do it.
It is a lock screen widget.
You get this by swiping from the right bezel across to the left bezel when on the lock screen.
The default is the camera.
To remove:
swipe from left bezel to the right bezel
press 'Tap to add widgets'
un-tick Camera (top left icon)

For me, swiping from left to right either unlocks the tablet or will cause the time indication to scroll across the screen. It never brings up a "Tap to add widgets" option. Does that work differently for you?
If I disable the camera, and have no other lock widgets selected, then the swipe from bezel to bezel (in either direction) just (slighty) rotates the large digital clock
So, how do you get to the option to disable the camera widget?

Once again, when I swipe bezel-to-bezel or otherwise, I never get a "Tap to add widgets" icon. If I touch the clock, I get a large empty rectangle at the bottom of the screen. Not sure how to get the "Tap" option.
All my notes above were for portrait mode.
Try it in landscape mode. Just swipe left to right on the clock.

woody1 , i used to have the same issue .
when u are at the lock screen , keep swiping from left to right on the clock widget, u will eventually reach the "add" button , u can remove the camera from there.
interestingly, what i did to resolve the camera widget popping out issue, is remove all the clock widgets ,except one, on the lock screen ... without having to remove the camera widget itself. furthermore more , it seemed to resolve the weird slow downs i was experiencing. on the lock screen after wake up.
i dont know what caused these multiple clock widgets to appear ,but removing them solved it for me. i am pretty sure it is a bug
That did the trick! I'm surprised that nobody else has commented on this problem. Thanks much for your help!

Yes, it's a tricky thing. I switched to Nova Launcher a while back. I wonder if changing the launcher might have caused the multiple clocks?

Possible, but i had the multiple clocks before i installed Google Now Launcher. Still debating if i should just throw Nova on like in my Optimus G ...
i don't. think it is an alternative launcher issue , in my case , i only used the stock lg one .
in my case i had ALOT of clock widgets (i was maxed out on the possible amout of widgets on the lock screen ).
at first i thought it was a used unit issue , where somebody messed around with the tablet before repackaging it, but then i noticed a pattern where ,when i was waking up the tablet,it would slow down abit . then i would check the lockscreen and saw that a new widget was generated.
so i assume it is either a lockscreen app issue or a waking up the tablet one.
my question to both of you gentlemen is :
-which lock screen are u using (slide, pattern , etc ) ?
- are. you using a smart cover/case (you know the one that automatically wakes up the tablet when u open the cover ) ?
becoz disabeling the smart cover also seemed to stop the issue in my case

To answer your questions, I'm using the default swipe to unlock and I've never used a smart cover. I don't know when the multiple clocks appeared. They don't seem to have come back since I deleted them a few days ago.
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.

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

Hey, I HATE the default G4 lockscreen. I have tried a couple of the 3rd party ones, (CM unlock etc) but non of them are doing it for me.
Anyone have any suggestions on lock screens for the G4?
I like C Locker from the Play Store on my G3. Requires root.
I too hate the stock LG lockscreen, the animations are SO tacky. Is there any lockscreen replacement that works with 1. Encryption and 2. Smart unlock (Bluetooth paired devices)?
Would love a proper AOSP replacement, or at least removing those horrible animations.
Ever since I debloated, I can only use the stock wallpapers on the lockscreen. Not sure how that happened, haven't bothered to fix it, but it's kinda annoying.
Try Hi Locker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
Every I change my lockscreen wallpaper it reverts to the default one after a while. Anyone know a fix for that?
I tried some third party lock screens, but none really do the job. C Locker is closest but even as a system app, it doesn't totally lock down the device. When you open the camera/phone apps from the lock screen, they aren't opened in secure mode, so e.g. the camera app will let you browse the photo gallery, the phone app will let you call non-emergency numbers and open the contacts list, etc. It's also possible to open the recent app list, even though it's supposed to be blocked.
Also, all of the lock apps require first swiping to open the PIN entry keypad. I wish it was just automatically displayed like on the stock lock screen.
Really, my only gripe with the stock locker is that the buttons are so ugly and it keeps reverting to the default wallpaper. (But I love that with C Locker, I can add DashClock widgets... can't believe Google removed such a nice feature! But I don't want to use it with these security issues...)
Also C Locker does have a nice trick to block the home screen by installing itself as the home screen (and then launching either the lock screen or your actual home screen app as appropriate), but it has an issue with ADW Launcher, that causes it to run whatever action you set to the home button, every time it's opened. (I guess it launches the real home screen before you actually let go of the button.)

I was not able to resolve that issue. Sorry.
I'm having another annoying issue ever since I installed XPosed. Sometimes the 1 key on the PIN entry just gets stuck and won't register. Only fix is to open the camera app and close it again, or reboot.
It might have to do with GravityBox lockscreen mods, since some of them broke it completely (just blank screen, no way to unlock); fortunately I could still reboot, and the problems wouldn't happen the first time after booting, so I was able to revert those tweaks. But even with all of the tweaks disabled, the stuck 1 key still happens at random.
So I figured out the stuck key issue. An app called Text Aide uses XPosed to force all text to be selectable by double tapping. That applied even to the lockscreen PIN entry buttons, so double tapping them (when typing repeated digits quickly) triggered the selection behavior, and then the button wouldn't respond. Removed that app, problem solved. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to prevent it applying to the lockscreen using the app's blacklist function.

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.
