Replace Lockscreen w/ Widget Locker, Completely

I've got Widget Locker installed and it's extremely better than the default lockscreen. The only issue is the delayed and sometimes inoperable "auto swipe" feature. It likes to work if it isn't in landscape mode.
Is there any way to remove the stock blur lockscreen and replace it with Widget Locker without using easy-wake?
Edit: I'm using Maverick v4.5 if it makes a difference.

I found a way to disable the lockscreen! Please see my thread and hit the Thanks-Button if it worked for you.

But that will also remove the pattern lock from stock. (right??)
I tried numerous apps and hacks to remove the stock lockscreen while remaining pattern lock. There's one app that does it but there's always a delay or glitch.
The one who thought you need to unlock 2x when using pattern is retarted

It's pretty standard procedure for touchscreen devices, isn't it? My iPad makes me swipe to unlock then type in my lockscreen passphrase almost all of the time, as does my iPod Touch.
I prefer it this way, actually. Muscle memory always has my thumb poised to swipe to unlock, and it's easier for me for the procedure to be consistent rather than different when the pattern lock time has passed. It's also easier when I need to tel my wife what to do when we are driving and I get a text message...

No it's not normal. Entering your password/pattern lock already unlocks your phone - there's no need to do a swipe before that.
If only widgetlocker had it's own built-in security features

My phone makes me do it twice. I have to swipe, then put in my pattern lock. Or vice versa I can't remember, it drove me nuts so I removed the pattern

Close, but this removes the passcode/pattern/password lock. Its almost the same as using the easy wake option without hardware buttons waking the device.
It might not be possible but I'm looking to keep the passcode if it is.

Just use widget locker.

Even with widgetlocker it's still a bit buggy/glitchy. Pretty often the stock lockscreen comes up for me or it flashes for 1sec. Very annoying.
Also when you draw your pattern wrong it will always show the stock lockscreen.
I wish there was a way to JUST remove the lockscreen blur slide screen, without removing the security features

Widget Locker bugs out on me too. It sometimes seems to skip the lock screen and auto swipe on my pass code screen, pushing a bunch of numbers.
Either way, I'll just SeekDroid my phone for security and use Widget Locker until I find a better solution.

Wow, camera shortcut in lock screen? Are you sure? I never had those, hope none had. Can open camera from lockscreen but i think shortcuts can be placed. Are you using stock launcher?

Yes this can be done with stock launcher. (.350)
Does not work on pin, only on swipe to unlock. (So no code has to be entered to gain acces to the device.)
Music and Camera will be present there.
Sadly I could not find a way to remove or add things to help the OP.
Kind regards, Stefan.

The camera shortcut won't show up if you have a security lock screen on. Only if you have the swipe lock screen.
Is that your issue?

Not shortcut, as in a shortcut like you place on your home screen. It's part of Sony sleep-to-snap feature. There is a camera icon on the lock screen (on the right of the time display) that you can swipe left to directly launch camera (without unlocking your phone and accessing it from the menu/home screens). This makes it possible to capture those shots that only last a moment.
On the left side of the time display is the music icon. You drag that to the right to access music controls.
Checkout the screenshots below (they are Xperia V, but thanks to Sony's unified UI, looks the same). Hope this helps. If it does, hit thanks.
Kartik

Open the camera app and go onto the settings and enable Quick Launch, that should do the trick.

You are right cassywilliam
I had the same. I have found that when I upgraded the software it came back again and then disappeared again after a few days (I think this had to do with utilizing an 'Exchange' email account. I have now deleted the Exchange account (which has various security conditions attached to it) and then basically messed around in the security settings for setting to swipe (with quick launch activated in the camera) and then back to PIN and the camera in the lock screen is back again!!! Its been there and stable for several weeks now... give it a go!

About shortcuts
Does anybody know how to add some shortcuts to the 'Home Button'? When you longpress the 'Home Button' you have a shorcut to Google Search, can you add more shortcut to that ring?
Thanks

Yeah, I would be curious to know if the lock screen shortcuts can be customised, too!

Installed 3rd party lockscreen

I installed KK Locker and it gives you the option to disable default locker so you don't have to unlock two screens. This does work when the screen goes to sleep on its own, however, when I hit the power button to manually put it to sleep, when I turn it back on I have to unlock both the default Sammy lock screen and KK locker. Do any of you know if there is something that I can do to find and disable the Sammy lock screen? Thanks in advance for any help

Have you gone into settings/device/lockscreen and selected NONE for the screenlock settings? Disabling through that 3rd party app is sometimes not enough.

EMUI 4 Lock Screen

If anyone can help:
I would like to change (or at least try) the EMUI4 default lockscreen - magazine. Does anyone know, firstly if this is possible, and secondly, what files do I have to modify?
Thanks in Advance!

Yes. It is possible. Go in setting---> screen lock and passwords--->screen lock styles.

Thanks, but I was talking about changing the code. If I did of what you said on the previous post, I wouldn't be able to get any notifications on the lockscreen.

So if i understand you correctly you want Magazine lock with notifications !!
If so it does work as mine is set like that.

Not exactly. In order to get all the notifications on this phone, you have to use the magazine. I wanted to make (or modify an existing one - even the magazine) lockscreen that would show all the notifications, with some shortcuts or even a time or weather widget, compatible with an s view case.
The simplest thing would be to transfer the displayed time on the upper half of the screen.

Ok I see, not sure In that case.

The only way I can think is clearing security credentials and using a third party lock screen. I did the same with my p8lite to remove stick lock screen. I tried with p9lite and i couldn't remove lock screen even when clearing credentials.

No fingerprint authentication after double tap screen off/lock

Hey guys
Why fingerprint unlock doesnt work after double tap to screen lock/off? Is there any way to achieve that. Everytime u double tap to make screen off , the next time u wake ur phone using fingerprint, it just ask for password. So u r stuck with only one option to press power button then apply fingerprint.
I hate pressing buttons:crying:
