Is it possible to remove the shortcuts on the lock screen? Extremely annoying when you launch apps instead of unlock your phone.
You know you don't have to touch the lock icon right? You can literally swipe the very top of screen to unlock.

In order to change the lock screen, you need to change the apps on the Sense home screen bar. I just tested. Delete the apps from the bar at the bottom of the Sense Home screen and that will remove them from the lock screen.

I'm aware that in the swipe lockscreen if you pull down the notification bar, you'll get music controls. But, why does TouchWiz make you go the extra route when every other ROM simple puts it right there when you wake the screen up?
Is there anyway that we can start incorporating this feature in the future on the swipe lockscreen?
The pattern unlock has it on the lock screen.

I know. But, I'm making emphasis on the swipe lockscreen since it has the app shortcuts. I'm just wondering if anybody is interested in adding back a feature that was taken off.

All this is done on your lockscreen:
Touch the clock and swipe down. An ^ arrow will appear at the bottom
Swipe right and you should see a box with a +
Tap the box.
Choose your widget (you can only choose certain widgets. Not all widgets available for your home screen are available on lockscreen)
To add another, do the same, but swipe past the existing widgets.
To rearrange your widgets, long tap the widget and move left/right.
NOTE: the widget to the farthest right will always show on your lockscreen by default when turning the screen on.
If the ^ is present on the lockscreen and you want to unlock it, tap the ^ and unlock like normal.
** All this is assuming you are just using the normal swipe to unlock. Not the unlock pin, or something like that. I don't use that stuff, and it's all similar to do, but may be slightly different.

Stock KK from LG to model E980?
is there any way to add any shortcuts on lockscreen. So far 4.4.4 has only the camera, but would also like to have e.g. flashlight
You can add shortcuts/widgets by swiping to the right on the lock screen. I don't see camera as an option

I have the camera Icon on the buttom and can use it. But I cannot add any more shortcuts when I swipe on the button in any way. What I can do is to set widgets in the upper time Screen by wiping to the right and add a widget (but also no apps), but not on the buttom. Want to Setup the flashlight on locscreen
I frequently do things on my phone while it's lying on it's back on a table, rendering the lock button and volume buttons on the back useless. Is there a way to add a lock button to the home touch buttons or notification panel?
If you're using the default launcher, double tap on the screen to lock.
If you're using another launcher, such as Nova, double tap the notification bar at the top of the screen.
You can also use Tasker to create a lock shortcut action and icon.
And if you have Tasker AND Nova, you can assign a double tap gesture on the launcher to start the shortcut action.
If you're using a third party launcher that supports gestures, you can use this app:

This all is also really handy:

Double tap the notification panel without expanding it and it will lock or a blank spot on the home screens/lock screen.
I use greenify, if you swipe up it gives you the option for Google now or hibernate+lock screen, its nice because my fingers are usually right at the home buttom

+1 super simple. Works from any screen.
Hi,
I have enabled FDE on my G4. This makes it impossible to switch back to swipe or any other lock screen type that would allow me to change apps shortcuts on said lock screen. That's ok if you always have the PIN code keypad displayed on the lock screen but if Smart Lock is enabled and there is no need to enter a PIN, the default lock screen and apps shortcuts are shown. I can't modify these since the settings app considers that it is not relevant to my screen lock type and doesn't show the Shortcuts option.
Is there any way to launch the lock screen apps shortcut activity manually?
Thanks,
Yes!
Change the screen lock to Swipe. This is the only way it'll show the shortcuts option!
After you set the shortcuts, set the pattern or any other unlock method again, and the shortcuts will stay
Nevermind. Just read you can't change to swipe.
Oops.
You need to launch a specific activity of the lock screen settings app. I used Tasker and the Secure Settings plugin. The app name is 'Lock Screen Settings' (not 'com.lge.provider.lockscreensettings'). The activity is called '[Shortcuts].ThemeSetting'. Launching that will open the screen where you can edit the shortcuts.

Same problem here, thanks for the tip. For me secure settings complains that it doesn't have permissions.
Are you rooted?
I am.

Try this:
- disable smart lock completly and choose swype as unlock option
- go out of settings
- enter settings again and go to "lock screen"
now there should be the option to edit the shortcuts. After that just enable smartlock again. I remember that i did it like that but i don't have a FDE.
