[Q] Sammy lockscreen and pattern?

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to have the Samsung circle lock AND the pattern lock. Like slide the circle lock, and then enter the pattern. Thanks in advance!
Sorry for the rather noob question but I didn't really find my answer when searching :/

Why would you want to have that?
It is like having 2 padlocks on a door. Is it too difficult to use the pattern lock and then select the desired application (which can be placed on the bottom of the screen on all available screens)?

I wanted to use the stock music player (please don't ask) and I wanted to use it from my lockscreen, so yeah I wanted to know how to do it

[Q] Lock screen app shortcuts

Hey guys, I've seen this option in custom ROMs but can't quite figure it out on a stock phone. Is there a way of adding app shortcuts to my lock screen slider? Currently I drag the lock circle to the unlock area and the phone is unlocked. I want to add other shortcuts there so I can drag that icon to, say my text message app, or twitter, etc.
I do not want to add widgets to my lock screen, so please do not suggest doing that.

That's a custom ROM feature, not available on stock.

No way at all to do it on stock? Not with another app or anything?

IDK if any custom lockscreens (e.g. Widget Locker) include that functionality or not. The only other work around I can think of is maybe lockscreen widgets.

[Q] Aosp or Aokp-ish Lockscreen for the S4

Hi,
Can I flash something or install something (not an app because the original and the new lockscreen that I create with the app get mixed up and I sometimes have two lockscreens and sometimes I don't have one at all) to look like AOSP or AOKP. I also want it to be able to lock with a pattern. I want it to look like the first two pictures combined, I have posted, or the third picture I have posted where the widget is expanded (when I wake up the phone the widget is already expanded and I don't have to expand it and have a pattern lock on the phone too). But I prefer the first lockscreen with the unlock options of the second (go directly to message or Talk or Google) (I really like how the weather Widget is, and would like to know how to do that). A ROM with this would be perfect, but I want to keep all the Samsung features(s-beam, NFC, Air View, Motions and Gestures and stuff like that).
Thank You

Allow any widget to be added to the lockscreen?

I've been searching for a way to allow any widget to be added to my Galaxy Note III lockscreen. I am using TouchWiz 4.4.2. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There is an Xposed module that allows you to add most widgets to your lockscreen. It's called the "Samsung Multiple Widget" module. It also adds back the 'swipe right for camera' option. Thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363189
Edit: The thread above is the original thread, but the Dev is no longer working on it, so another user picked up where he left off. Thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-samsungmultiplewidgets-kitkat-t2690190
Also, you might want to install the "Notification Mod" as well to get notifications on Touchwiz if you are using a secured lock screen. The way Samsung stopped allowing us to access the notifications when there is a pin/pattern is very annoying.
Let me know if you need any help getting either of those installed (but it's pretty self-explanatory).

Thanks for the reply man.
So I get all that but what i am trying to accomplish is to allow ANY widget to be allowed to be on the lock screen. For example HD widgets official lock screen widgets only has the Glass Gems packages. If I was able to "trick" the system into thinking I was just adding a widget to a home screen, not the lock screen, I would have many more options as to what I can add. Not as concerned about the number of widgets allowed. I was able to do this on the note 2 with some mod, but I don't remember what it was called.

I wish I could be more helpful. I don't use HD widgets, so I can't test it and see what works. But from looking at the cloud.tv FAQ, it looks like you should be able to get other themes/packages working on the lockscreen. This is what it says:
I can only see the Glass Gems style widgets in my Widget menu. Where are the other themes?
New themes are installed automatically and available for you to use in the app as soon as you've downloaded them from the Play Store. However, you won’t see the new theme style widgets in your Widget menu. The Glass Gems style widget that you see in your widget menu are just examples for each of the widget sizes. Once you've selected a widget size, you’ll be able to switch between themes from inside the app.
How do I change themes after I've picked a widget size?
After you've selected a widget size, tap on the theme name in the top right corner of the configure screen and to reveal the drop down menu. Then tap the theme you'd like to use.
Select new widget themes from the drop down menu (See screenshot below)
Also,
How do I add & remove lock screen widgets?
Deleting lockscreen widgets is really easy. Simply long press on the widget and drag to Remove.
How you'll add lockscreen widgets will differ slightly depending on your device.
For non HTC and Samsung devices:
When viewing your lockscreen swipe left to right starting with the clock until you see the add (+) button.
For most Samsung devices including Galaxy S3 and S4:
First enable lockscreen widgets in your device Settings. Go to Settings, then Lock Screen and check the box to enable Multiple Widgets. Then, when viewing your lock screen, swipe left to right until you see the add (+) button.
Note: Samsung have disabled lock screen widgets with pin or password. If you are using a secure lock screen setting, you won’t be able to use lock screen widgets.
The last part is true only if you don't use the Xposed mod that I posted earlier.
So, it looks like even though you will only see the glass gems widgets, you can still select the different theme/package you want after you have selected the widget size. I hope that helps. And if you already know all this stuff then I apologize.

Is there any way to automatically HIDE the PIN screen? It cut off the widgets, like DashClock. I have to swipe down, look at the widget, then swipe up to bring the pin screen back.

No, not without disabling it. And for the former try xlocky plugin for xposed, that may allow to use the widgets you want

[Q] How to enable the Swipe Option for lockscreen security in GT I9192

Hi Dudes and Devs,
I want a solution or an idea. I'm having s4 mini duos with stock installed. Everything is fine for me. I'm rooted and using xposed modules. So i'm having better looks and performance without modifying the stock. Now i'm having only one thing which is annoying me a lot.
That thing is, if we set the pin/password for the lock screen, there is no such option to use the Lockscreen security with Swipe like that in the ICS.... So whenever i try to unlock my screen means the Pin panel or password panel is always showing up... It's not looking nice and its annoying me.... In the CM builds and other custom builds the swipe option was included...
So someone please tell me...
Is there anyway to activate/use the lockscreen security feature with swipe option enabled?
Is there any way to activate that by editing some files using file explorer? (Like enabling the Nav bar in stock ROM using a command)...
Please dudes i dont want to changeover to a CUSTOM build, so someone please tell me a way to enable the feature without changing the stock rom.
And most importantly it'll be helpful for all the Stock Users....
I am Waiting

Not sure if it is possible, it is by design.
When you have a high security lock screen, you will not be able to pull down the shades. Not sure about having that in CM or custom builds as I have Carbon 4.4.4 on my 9192 and it is disabled there as well.

What's the use of pin/pattern lock if anyone can unlock your device with swipe anyway?
But yes in CM builds there were two step unlocking, first swipe than patter/pin and I think you mean that.
In order to get it on your default samsung rom you need to install 3rd party screen locker and customize accordingly.
