[Q] Camera lock screen widget

Hey everyone, I have been here a while but I dont have my ten posts to post in the dev section :/ so I am posting my question here! I am on the Toro+ Gnex running Atom 422 I believe, but my question isnt specific to that ROM. In many ROMs my lock screen music widget would freeze up and stop playing and when I turned the phone on it looked like the music widget was overlaping the camera widget ( lockscreen widgets) and then disapear. I have tried using Apollo, Zplayer, and Play Music. I uninstalled all but one to test individually and I got the same results. I don't have this issue with ROMs that have the option to disable the camera lockscreen widget and I was wondering if this is a known problem with the camera or what. I am using a custom lockscreen shortcut for the camera right now so it is not a big deal I was just curious If anyone else has had this problem. This persists through dirty, clean flashes of new ROMs and kernels except for ROMs that can disable the camera lockscreen widget. thanks for the feedback!

First and foremost the Dev section is reserved for developers who wish to introduce their ROMS and kernels, not for questions such as this. So in a way, thank you for not posting here even though it was your intention to do so
As far as the lock screen...are you using stock launcher or a third party launcher such as apex or nova? Lock screen apps are just that, app that overlay the original lock screen. What I mean is that the culprit is probably your launcher. I use PA 3.94 and have no issues. Admittedly though, my lock screen security is disabled so I can use Locket. Locket has no widgets so that may be a option for you. I do kiss the music widget however, but I just unlock the screen to access the controls and in doing so I get paid for doing so.

Hmm, interesting I didnt think to change the launcher I was on Atom launcher at the time and now I am just using the launcher included in the Atom-422 Rom. After work I will re-install Atom launcher and see if I can replicate the issue. So, the lockscreen widgets are extensions of the launcher? I guess I don't understand how the launcher would cause that issue, something I am going to have to look up I guess ha Yeah I thought about removing the lockscreen but the shortcuts are just too convinient and Dash clock is awesome too. How is Locket working for you? I havent tried it but I imagined it to be laggy just because I associate Ads with lag.
P.S. I wasn't going to start a tread in the dev section, I was just going to post in the ROM thread asking if anyone else had the same issue ;]

I haven't used Atom launcher so I can't say for sure. Since you've used stock and the Atom launcher I guess you can try a third party one such as Apex or Nova and see if the issue persists. Its weird how its happening to you though, I've never heard of such bug. To my understanding, lockscreen and the associated widgets are part of the launcher, hence the reason why not all launchers support widgets. I understand your desire to keep your widgets, they do come in handy but personally I usually don't find myself wishing I had more than the standard clock since I instinctively unlock my phone anyways.
I thought the same as you with regards to Locket, but I must admit that the ads are incredibly lightweight and well designed. Most of the time I don't see them as ads but a dynamic wallpaper add-on since the ads cycle every time you turn on your display. Give it a shot, you can access the notification bar even with Locket installed, which houses playback controls as well. Link is in my siggy

[Q] Remove Camera from LockScreen

Hi
Just got my G3 after updating from a Nexus 4.
Impressed so far and happily rooted the beast.
It's the lockscreen I am trying to get sorted. IS there any way of removing the swipe to camera option off the lockscreen? Had a bad experience previously and would just like the knock code. (Ideally would also like the emergency call option gone too)
Have searched but couldn't see anything.
Thanks guys
K

As far as lockscreen shortcuts - Go to Settings/General/Security/Lock Screen/Shortcuts - now tap the one you want to get rid of, then select Delete Shortcut
As far as the emergency call option - after some quick Googling some users are reporting and option to remove it with Gravitybox or G3 Tweakbox through XPosed, but others report it doesn't work

Thanks for the reply.
No shortcuts option come up for me in the lock screen tab. I am fully updated to the latest OS LRX21R and V20h
Never been a fan of Xposed for some reason. May try it and give it a go on the LG
Superb phone though. Pleased with it

[Q] Lockscreen (Knockcode) Swipe Camera disappeared (D855 v20h)

Hi all,
I've had 3 or 4 OTA updates on my LGG3 since I got it last year, one of the ones around 20h made the swipe to camera icon disappear. The one in the bottom right...
How do I get it back?
Also, how do I change volume down to launch a third party camera (XCam LG)

This is possibly due to the change in Android Lollipop's lock screen settings. If you see stock ROMs or vanilla Nexus, there isn't any lock screen widgets anymore either.
However, I've inspected the ROM packaging (at least for Cloudy's ROM), this code is still there, it just doesn't show up for some reason.
I'll let some other pro answer this...
Solution? Wait for v30-base from G4's LG UX 4.0 software, if not you can download third-party lock screen apps (i.e. WidgetLocker or HiLocker)

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue.

I installed zui locker, played around with it's camera settings then uninstalled it. Funny the camera widget appeared and remained in the stock lockscreen.

Possibility of AOSP MM Lockscreen on LG ROMs? (H815, Unlocked Bootloader)

Hey everyone, I was wondering if it's possible to get the AOSP lockscreen on the LG roms. Most of my problems with it stem from the way notifications and the lockscreen works, all of my notification issues are solved with xposed but the lockscreen is something I just can't get past. The layout and design is just bad and it doesn't even show next alarm time.
I found some threads on the G2 forum about changing things in build.prop, but none of that applies now, at least none I can find that look remotely like anything. I'm willing to put some time and effort into learning and trying things to get this working, I just need to know where to start.

Widgets on lock screen?

(unfortunately the search function is not working for me today for some reason; I tried looking about a bit but didn't find anything - I apologize if there's another thread...)
Well, for the life of me I can't figure out how to add widgets to the lock screen. I did customize my shortcuts as per instructions (just change the ones in Sense, even if you're using a different launcher), but widgets? I read I'm supposed to swipe left on the lock screen, but nothing happens...
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that feature has been removed since the One M8, even since Android Lollipop.

Ah ok, so I'm not stupid or crazy after all.... thanks!
Would you happen to know if there is any third-party lockscreen that supports fingerprint and widgets?

Not that I know of unless you have a Samsung (Their Good Lock app works with widgets).

Thanks man. Certainly sounds weird!

Sense must allow other widgets on the lock screen, too.
