Can you change lockscreen background?

Hi all, I am running CM 10.1 (4.2.1) with Nova Launcher. I was wondering is there a way to change the lock screen background? instead of it showing my desktop wallpaper.
Thanks!
I don't think so..
I can on AOKP with that enabled (self promotion) like mine seriously though, some have it just have to dig around

Homescreen grid size (5x4) & Widgets

I'm running Pacman ROM and wondering if there is a way to make certain widgets (one's that are 4 x ?) fit when I am running the grid size with 5 columns. The problem is that they are off centered, and they won't allow me to re-size using the blue dots. Is there a certain resolution I can change the homescreen to, in order to make 4 x ? widgets become centered on a home screen that has 5 columns. Although I like the look and screen efficiency of having 5 columns, I can't stand that certain widgets (e.g., grooveshark and dictionary.com) are either off to the left or the right. Any insight on this would be appreciated, even if the answer is "not possible" that way I'll stop looking for a solution and just deal with a homescreen that only has 4 columns.
Thanks
If. Turn your phone horizontal, you can resize them.

Apex will give you more options that default cm launcher. That may be another option.

LAG:: Transparent app drawer.

Am i the only one who notices the bad transition lag from pressing app drawer while viewing blinkfeed? It happens when you install transparent app drawer. It happening now that I installed Dark Theme. I know someone else has to notice this, i've seen it do this on multiple phones, its very obvious when pressing app drawer and viewing blinkfeed with transparent app drawer installed.
--This is not a Dark Theme specific Issue this is a Transparent app drawer issue. I am 100% certain this is an issue and not just my specific phone, i've seen 3 different phones do this with the same scenario. And after removing transparent app drawer it corrects itself.
It may be in how app drawer was achieved, i have had trans app drawer since i rooted the htc one on sprint(and on the htc lte sense 5 port) and i have no lag when going from blinkfeed to app drawer and back

To help with the lag when using trans app drawer? No i believe its more to do with all the changes done to achieve the mod doing it the way it was done

I second that ... No lag at all , make sure you're using the right tools and that the setup of them is good
I also notice that laggyness when using a Theme with transparent app drawer. (using TrickDroid)

Light Weight Launcher

I'm on 4.4 (CM-REMIX-Burst-Kernel-KANG) and looking to get rid of the google search bar on the home screen.
I appreciate the only way to do this is to get another Launcher. Is there a lightweight launcher that would remove the google search bar?
Thanks
Try holo launcher

Is there an app/tweak where i can customize the transition animations? I am talking about closing and opening apps.

Try settings in 'Settings>>Developer Mode' || under drawing tab.
transition animations comes from your Launcher. Go into your launcher settings and depending which one, settings for opening apps can be in different locations. Usually under App Drawer.

Yes, there is. It's called "anim mod".

can you recommend a launcher with different animations? Only found nova
It requires xposed framework but there are some pretty cool animations in here, watch the video

Go Launcher EX or Next launcher is best for their animation effects.

Yeah, it only has some basic animations.
This app was before we had xposed and other stuff and we had to edit the animations manually in framework.
And about launcher, there are few.
I personally recommend ADW launcher EX, it has some nice animations and a lot of options.
If You want also a classic one but few 3d effects then Next Launcher.
And finally, if You want some beautiful 3d animations then You should take a look at tsf shell, especially the newest version. However it's not a usual launcher.
