I have tried No Lock and No Lock Screen from the Play Store with limited success. I tried renaming HTCLockscreen in system/app and the similar in data\data, that didn't disable but defaulted to the android lock screen. BTW, I understand the risks inherent in running without a lockscreen but still choose to not use it. Does anyone know how to disable this feature?
I've frozen all the weather related apps and widgets using Titanium Backup. But I still can go to lockscreen option in settings and toggle on the weather iniformation on lockscreen. Tried to reboot but it seems some hidden app is running to support the lockscreen weather information. I tried to reboot but it's still running. (I don't want to cancel the feather otherwise I can just toggle off the option. I want to change the display to celcius in the display) Can anyone tell me where I can go to that app? Thank you!

you can try other apps in the play store or unfreeze the weather widget open it by tapping, then you can change to Celsius
Before upgrading to lollipop, the lockscreen settings had a feature to set the lockscreen to 'None'. In lollipop, I do not see 'None' as an option anymore. I played around with the new smart lock feature, but have now turned off Google's smart lock trusted agent and now I do not see the'None' lockscreen feature available. Wow!
Update: Oh well. That's what I get for playing around with multiple users too! I deleted the other user and now the 'None' lockscreen setting has returned.
Hey, I HATE the default G4 lockscreen. I have tried a couple of the 3rd party ones, (CM unlock etc) but non of them are doing it for me.
Anyone have any suggestions on lock screens for the G4?
I like C Locker from the Play Store on my G3. Requires root.
I too hate the stock LG lockscreen, the animations are SO tacky. Is there any lockscreen replacement that works with 1. Encryption and 2. Smart unlock (Bluetooth paired devices)?
Would love a proper AOSP replacement, or at least removing those horrible animations.
Ever since I debloated, I can only use the stock wallpapers on the lockscreen. Not sure how that happened, haven't bothered to fix it, but it's kinda annoying.
Try Hi Locker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
Every I change my lockscreen wallpaper it reverts to the default one after a while. Anyone know a fix for that?
I tried some third party lock screens, but none really do the job. C Locker is closest but even as a system app, it doesn't totally lock down the device. When you open the camera/phone apps from the lock screen, they aren't opened in secure mode, so e.g. the camera app will let you browse the photo gallery, the phone app will let you call non-emergency numbers and open the contacts list, etc. It's also possible to open the recent app list, even though it's supposed to be blocked.
Also, all of the lock apps require first swiping to open the PIN entry keypad. I wish it was just automatically displayed like on the stock lock screen.
Really, my only gripe with the stock locker is that the buttons are so ugly and it keeps reverting to the default wallpaper. (But I love that with C Locker, I can add DashClock widgets... can't believe Google removed such a nice feature! But I don't want to use it with these security issues...)
Also C Locker does have a nice trick to block the home screen by installing itself as the home screen (and then launching either the lock screen or your actual home screen app as appropriate), but it has an issue with ADW Launcher, that causes it to run whatever action you set to the home button, every time it's opened. (I guess it launches the real home screen before you actually let go of the button.)

I have the same issue. When I reboot the lockscreen wallpaper reverts back to the default LG one. Have you discovered a fix?

I was not able to resolve that issue. Sorry.
I'm having another annoying issue ever since I installed XPosed. Sometimes the 1 key on the PIN entry just gets stuck and won't register. Only fix is to open the camera app and close it again, or reboot.
It might have to do with GravityBox lockscreen mods, since some of them broke it completely (just blank screen, no way to unlock); fortunately I could still reboot, and the problems wouldn't happen the first time after booting, so I was able to revert those tweaks. But even with all of the tweaks disabled, the stuck 1 key still happens at random.
So I figured out the stuck key issue. An app called Text Aide uses XPosed to force all text to be selectable by double tapping. That applied even to the lockscreen PIN entry buttons, so double tapping them (when typing repeated digits quickly) triggered the selection behavior, and then the button wouldn't respond. Removed that app, problem solved. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to prevent it applying to the lockscreen using the app's blacklist function.

Removing the stock gallery app means you can't change the lockscreen wallpaper.
(I know its been a year but just incase anyone is reading)

With the stock Gallery app I can change the lockscreen wallpaper, but after reboot it goes back to the default image.

Did you disable the default LG Gallery app? I heard that this causes the issue you described.
Hey there
My G4 is hardware encrypted and secured with a pin-lockscreen.
Now I would like to change the default app shortcuts on my lockscreen.
But I can't find any settings for changing these shortcuts...
Is there any hidden settings, to change these shortcuts, or is it a bug in the LG Android UI?

You need to remove pin lock to change the shortcuts, then reinstate it once you have the shortcuts you'd like there. LG removes the option when you have a secure lockscreen for some stupid reason.
thanks for your reply
the problem is, I can not disable pin-lock because of my device encryption settings. And encryption can't be disabled without a factory reset :/
Looks like I need to wait for an other solution, eventually a dev will release a Tweak-Box app for changing all these small things. I would definitely appreciate it.
