Lockscreen apps - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After the Kitkat update I don't find the lockscreen buttons.
I'd like to have the possibility to open special apps directly from lockscreen (without unlock).
Can anybody please help?
Thanks in advance

Settings--->display--->lock screen--->shortcuts

Sorry, I don't have this, neither on LG G-Pad nor on LG G2 mini (both devices run Kitkat 4.42).

I have no explanation for that.

I recall if you use anything other than swipe as an unlock method the shortcuts are not visible. Either in the menu or on the lock screen

Wheres Flash Light in 'Widget on Tap Action'?

I got a samsung galaxy s3 that has a widget called Assistive Light that turns on the flash light. I want to use it in zooper. But I cant find it in the list of 'Widget on tap Action'. Where exactly is it?
If its possible to use it, what code do I use in zooper to show that its turned on upon tapping it?
You have to use Tasker for that.

If you're using Nova launcher (probably similar process in other launchers) you could look under tap actions / shortcuts / (nova) activities.
Perhaps you'll find your shortcut there.

Just noticed there's no such shortcut for that flashlight app (installed it to have a look).
You could use TeslaLED Flashlight for this.

Nice try but that app takes a long while to enable the flashlight. Apprecuate it though.
Try changing the LED Method in the settings for me its Standard on a S4

It sometimes happens that you are able to access navigation ring even when you havent enabled navigation bar.On vanir rom there is a option where you can disable navigation ring.or it could be possible that any xposed module like gravitybox is conflicting with any setting .

G3 features with 3rd party launchers?

will my device still retain features such as knock on, knock codes, lg's customized nav buttons, qslide apps, multi windows if I use a 3rd party launcher like nova launcher?
yes. the only thing you will lose is the lg specific widgets, the lg health page and the ability to knock off anywhere (you can still double tap the status bar to knock off)
i'm using nova and all the other lg stuff works great

Thanks, but how about the nav buttons? I don't want to lose the ability to rearrange the nav buttons and quick notification pull down button
Yes all of that will work fine

I wish there was a way to still get the LG widgets and health app outside of the stock launcher. I'd also love the lock screen clock as a widget

Knock off will only work if you double tap the status bar. It's unfortunate.

I found a solution by binding nova launcher gesture to a screen off app
I'm also using Nova. I wish it came with gestures for locking the screen. It would have been easier to replicate the knock off feature

If you are using Nova Launcher, you can create a shortcut to the LG Health app.

I found the "Turn Off" little free app works beautifully for that.

Just install it, then bind the double tap gesture in Nova to "Turn off" shortcut, and you get an exact replacement for Knock Off.
Turn Off utility works great. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the lead on the program, and for the tip on hitting the notification bar.
I was afraid I'd have to make the tough choice between the functionality of the double-tap and just using Nova.
Forgive me if I missed the explanation, but why doesn't the double-tap just work in Nova like in the standard launcher?

I think that the double tap gesture in Nova needs to be tapped on a blank/empty area without any icons/shortcuts/widgets.
using g3 tweaksbox I set the double tap on home key to turn screen off and enabled double tap on status bar. so when using phone with one hand I can reach the home button easily.

[Q] Expanded lockscreen widgets

is there a way to have the lockscreen widgets expanded by default?

I've been using Android for about 4 years mate and I've never seen an option to re-size a widget on the lock screen unless we're given different sizes to choose from. Sowy

Only in some custom ROMs like OmniRom, Paranoid Android etc...

I use Widget Locker and both my 'regular' widgets Poweramp, Beautiful Weather and Mortplayer have widgets that are either (a) comes in different sizes and/or (b) sizeable. Just hold down the widget for the options.
i've just discovered this option in lockscreen as well and i've been wondering the same thing. i have a weather widget 5x2 and i would like to make by default the whole lockscreen height

[Q] Disable screen unlock mode

Hello,
My G3 is running CloudyG3 ROM and I also added Nova launcher to get a better material style. Unfortunately Nova doesn't provide a custom lock screen so I tried with AcDisplay (as example).
Looks good but it asks to remove default unlock method from settings but on G3 there is no such an option.
Is there a workaround to get rid of awful default unlock screen?
(I'm not quite sure about right section. I posted here because maybe somebody comes up with an alternative app that completely overrides the default lock screen)

Not in CloudyG3 2.2 apparently
@fillobotto There is a none option in Cloudy 2.2 . look at these screenshots from my phone, it's in romanian but the first option is none
Performed a full wipe then CG3 2.2 again. Finally it solved the problem.
I'm sorry to have opened a thread for this.
