I'm new to 4.3, and I'm using an S3 (Mobilicity). Rooted, stock rom and recovery. I'd like to know if it's possible to replace the clock widget from the lockscreen entirely. I'm caught between the xposed framework and Puzzle and Dragons, the game just won't cooperate with the framework (crashes upon opening). So, I've pretty much given up on trying to get secure widgets and everything since PaD won't run with them, and instead would just like to replace that default clock widget with something like DashClock.
If there is a way to do this, it would be much appreciated if you could share. I've looked all over and couldn't find anything on this.
EDIT: Alternately, if there was a way so that apps couldn't detect the xposed framework, or if there was another way to enable multiple widgets on a secured lockscreen, that would be great as well.
EDIT 2: Is there a way to bring back the 2-layer lock screen from 4.1? I can't fathom why they would completely leave that out, I love the swipe screen, it's got lots of space to show the wallpaper, and can also be used for other things (like the widgets >.>"), while you still have a second lock screen for the pattern lock.

Hi, I'm just wondering if any body could point me in the right direction with regards to solutions to two issues I'm having.
1) On the Juggernaut rom (and I'm assuming most Samsung stock roms although I haven't even tried one), the lockscreen wallpaper is different than the regular wallpaper. I have a collection of wallpapers, and I use a Wallpaper Changer app to automatically change them every ten minutes.
I want the lockscreen/security screen wallpaper to be the same as the homescreen wallpaper so that I can remove the bore factor of having the same wallpaper for more than ten minutes . Anybody know any way to accomplish this?
Most ROMS I've seen on other devices aren't like that. I think it's a Samsung "Feature".
2) Also, I'd like to be able to completely disable the lockscreen without disabling the security screen. I've noticed that sometimes after typing my security pin it comes up. Also, using WidgetLocker on Juggernaut sometimes means I have two lockscreens which is undesired.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know
Im looking for a few features on my lockscreen that dont appear to be possible with stock att galaxy.
I would like to get more than 4 shortcut apps on the lockscreen.
I would also like an email widget and calendar widget, maybe something similar to the news widget for the jb lockscreen.
Possible?

Not without your own personal modding, or flashing something else that has it...
Widget Locker will let you place sliders, widgets, and shortcuts on your lockscreen. I've never tried it with a stock ROM, but see no reason it shouldn't work.
You can find it in the Play store.

Excellent 1st post... You get a thanks...
Yep, Widget Locker will do a lot of what you're looking for. One tip, go into your lock screen settings (in your phone settings, not in WL settings) and set it to none once you've activated WL. This will keep the odd times when your stock lock screen might appear after unlocking via WL.
Hi,
I've looked everywhere for this, and can't seem to find it.
I'm looking for a very similar thing to cLock (formerly Chronus) from CM roms.
It allows not only time but weather to be shown on the lockscreen and still allow you to have security with pin or pattern locking.
I also searched through all apps/themes sections, and couldn't find this. I can't be the only one wanting password protection on a good looking lockscreen?! haha
I don't want to switch to CM rooms just for this, as I don't find them stable enough yet.
I've tried Go locker and still not getting what I's like.
I haven't tried Widget lockscreen as its not free, and I don't want to buy it and find out it doesn't have what I'd like.
Thanks for any sugestion/help..
Settled on Widgetlocker lockscreen with HD Widgets. Its beautiful, but no security. So I kept the stock lockscreen with patern. One annoyance is now I have to go through 2 screen to get to homescreen. Oh well, I can live with it.
Total wet behind the ears, noob first post.:silly:
I was unable to find the answer on the forums so I thought I would type one up. On my first gen Nexus 7, running a CM nightly it seems the user is unable to eliminate (only replace) the clock widget on the lock screen for a cleaner look. The way I found around this is to download the UCCW app by VasuDev, a free app that enables you to custom make widgets, then just create a completely transparent one (set the alpha setting to "0") and have that as the lock screen widget.
Hope this helps.
Hey XDA,
Does anyone know of any custom lockscreens that work with the finger scanner built into the note 4? I remember using custom lock screens such as widget locker on my old s3 and m8 but after unlocking my phone using widget locker, it just takes me to the screen where I would swipe my finger before, not allowing me to unlock my phone using the finger scanner and a custom lockscreen with only one screen.
Also, does anyone know of a way to get lockscreen widgets back? If I can't replace the bare lockscreen with a custom one filled with apps and widgets, why did samsung take away stock lock screen customization completely.
I really wish I could flash my problems away with a custom rom.
I use NILS to get notifications on the lockscreen along with the fingerprint unlock. I don't use any other widgets so it serves my needs so far.
