[Q] AOSP Lockscreen?

Is there an .apk out there to give the G3 a more AOSP style lockscreen?
I will use knock code while traveling or while @ client sites, but during my personal time am really missing the simple lock key slide.
You can actually see one on the stock G3 lockscreen when you long press the lockscreen widget. So far Tweaksbox, Gravity, etc. modules do not really provide the same lockscreen mechanism (at least my experience has been this).
I have also seen several play store options but none of them seem to really emulate the simple experience of the lock key slide.

Last I knew a true AOSP Lockscreen was going to be hard to do. See this on Reddit

It's regarding the same issue on a G2 running 4.4.2 which I'd imagine would be the same case with our G3s.
I'm with you though I'd like to have that Lockscreen back but not sure we'll get it on stock.

Thanks for the link...4.4.2 seems to be the link.

[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

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

Larger Contact Picture for Phone Calls?

Did a search and apparently this was an issue on LG G3 as well:
After updating to lollipop and the new LG UI - I hate how the contact picture is now a small circle when you place or receive calls. Anyone know of a way to get it back to the bigger contact picture like it was on the older LG UI?
For the G3, it looked to be a feature within G3 Tweaksbox, but I don't believe that has been updated for Xposed Lollipop (or whether it will work for G2).
Thanks in advance!

Just updated this morning to it. That was the first thing I noticed. There is many things I'm not liking about the update too. Color themes ugly, icons not Contact adjustable much, The Weather Animation is gone as well. Overall looking it seems to be a step back in the users basic functions.
EDIT: Hold the new Round Contact icon down. So you can Edit it. Then click the + add new. You can re-size it and make it square again with any image you like.

KitKat seems better for tablets?

I upgraded to 5.0.2 and noticed the new recents screen is really bad. I can't instantly alt+tab anymore and it looks like I can't replace it anymore either. Is there something I am doing wrong? Lollipop doesn't seem to add anything new, just hassles. Like the notifications changed and I am forced to keep them persistent in order to prevent it from automatically closing?

The main thing LP brought was Art.
I hate the recents too.
At least on my m8 htc had the sense (see what I did there) to include the old style too.
I absolutely despise the damn notification cards on my m8 as they constantly cause my phone to unlock in my pocket.

One of the things I'd wish Samsung had kept the same as KitKat on their tablets. It's ridiculous taking the full screen on a tablet for a less efficient way of switch between apps than before. To me it's obvious Google doesn't give a damn about tablets anymore.

Cannot switch from List View to Tabs - T-Mobile

Hey, guys. Quick question. How the heck do I change the settings from List View to Tab View? Those 3 dots are not at the top. This T-Mobile variant seems to be different from the others.

Hello.
I just bought the Korean version coming from a G5 and there's also no 3 dots in settings allowing to enable tab View
I was sad to see it but I guess it was too different for most people even if it was part of LG UX DNA. I feel they wanted to make the phone look like an iPhone.

I think I've pretty much gotten used to List View by now.

Same here, I was afraid to be lost but they group settings like in tabs view and some menus are equal to older LG UX versions.
