Lockscreen customization - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I really hate lockscreen on MiUI. It's pretty much useless. All I had there was clock and 3 useless icons for Mi Remote, Fingerprint sensor and camera. Notifications were half-broken and never were displayed on it. I am used to my old iPhone notifications, which were very detailed and actually useful. I wish there was a method of editing the lockscreen. Like being able to add widgets to is and move stuff around. I couldn't find anything so far, is there any methods to achieve that?
Thanks!

You have to turn on the option labeled show on lockscreen in notification settings of an app

Set lockscreen to none through settings app then install klck app from playstore

Does this mean we can install third party lockscreen app in the latest firmware? I thought miui lockscreen would still run after unlocking with third party lockscreen app or it would appear after going to the homescreen.

Yes, it is possible to install third party lockscreen apps without any issue...but remember to disable system lockscreen and when installed third party lockscreen go to settings- installed apps- Any third party lockscreen app- go to permission and set display popup ON. Done now any third-party lockscreen app will work without any trouble

[Q] change lockscreen wallpaper automatically

Hi,
is it possible to change the wallpaper of the lockscreen automatically or is there an app which can do this?
nope and nope. i would like this feature too, but nope. even if there was an app, it would still require you to launch it as there is no third party multitasking, so i don't see it possible at this stage.

additional apps on lockscreen/google now

Hi,
is it possible to add apps on the lockscreen or the google now menu that appears when you swipe from the middle of the screen?
i used a lockscreen app on my Arc S, but if there is a way to do this without an additional app, plz let me know
thx!
There's an app called Launch Now. You can select up to seven apps to choose from. You still slide up like you would for google now but a menu just pops up instead. It's only $1 and totally worth it

thanks, i know that there are apps put there that can do this, but i would prefer a way that doesnt need an additional app.
i saw something like that in a review, and i thought it was a feature of jellybean, but i guess it was some touchwizz/sense kinda 3rd party launcher app

The major ROMs have this feature. It's called Navbar Targets I believe. I know that AOKP has it, and I think CyanogenMod does too. Other such as CNA do as well. I'm sure that these ROMs will be ported to the Nexus 4 very soon. You configure these targets via settings, so you don't need another app.

LG G4 Lockscreen

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.

Android Q Gestures + 3rd party launchers

Been struggling with this lawnchair, nova, and pretty much every launcher i tried disables the gestures and reverts me back to 3 button navigation bar..
Any suggestions?
Funny thing is, it works fine as long as i don't set nova\lawnchair as a default - i can continue using those launchers + gestures.
Why would this funky behavior be?

It's just the way Google programmed it. Ask Google.

My guess is it has to do with the way the new gestures and their animations integrate with the launcher (the app minimizing to the icon on the home screen when swiping up, etc.) and they're working on 3rd party support for that. They said it'd be in a post-launch update, but there's no ETA on that yet.

Lockscreen shortcuts

This is my first phone with MIUI and I'm wondering if it's possible to modify lockscreen shortcuts or remove them completely (extra page which appears when you scroll to the left with left to right gesture)? I have only Mi remote app there with a flashlight toggle button. I haven't found any related settings to this feature, but maybe I just missed it.
its not possible, miui is basically forcing glance on users

Glance? What's that? Quick google search revealed some wallpaper carousel app. I might have the app missing though as I uninstalled most of MIUI apps.

probably because the app is missing, you have some other shortcut, but afaik its not possible to change to a desired one.
Im having issue with this function.
Enabled it but no shortcuts are even showing in the lockscreen of my s10+ android 11.
