How to add more lockscreen dots? - Moto X Q&A

I know that some ROM's like CM, AOSPA, and Carbon give you the ability to set 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, etc lockscreen patterns.
Does anybody know how to mod the stock lockscreen, or of any apk or way of doing this?
Thanks!

Gravitybox apk can do some modifications but you need to be rooted and installed xposed framework.

Try WidgetLocker Lockscreen. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
Or here's a free one. Never tried it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=home.solo.plugin.locker
They may or may not mess up active notifications.

Those are targets for the slider. I'm talking about the unlock grid pattern. By default it is 3x3 dots. I would like to be able to make it 4x4 or 5x5.

No problem. I appreciate you trying to help!
I like the 4x4 grid because you can make the unlock pattern straight across. So its very easy to unlock (just like slide) but appears to be some difficult pattern.

[Q] Change shortcuts on stock slider lockscreen?

I use the four way slider lockscreen that is built in to android 4.1, but not the three shortcuts that come with it. Is there any way I could easily change the apps they correspond to as well as their icons?

You could try a lock screen replacement. I've never used one but from the descriptions on the play store one of these might give you what you are looking for.

GEL vs Stock! (Also stock with transparency download)

Title sums it up, it's a poll between the KitKat launcher you find on most devices or the new fancy Google Now launcher on the N5.
You may think it's pointless but when you don't use the GEL for a while and keep with stock, you grow more fond of the stock launcher and really appreciate how nice it still looks (although it sucks that they didn't even enable the transparency with it).
So I did some searching, here you go. Put this in system/priv-app/ and you get the transparent stock launcher. Pulled from Moto G so you even get the nice wallpapers. (but you keep stock ones)
Also, please note that for the time being this will replace the current stock launcher. So please please please back up your launcher! (In case you want to go back to the ugly black bars, but to each their own )
Notice: you only need the .odex file if you're using stock ROM or another odexed ROM. If you don't know if yours is or isn't, download it anyway.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xco9j32o19eidqx/launcher2.apk
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cmbzhl7hoc3ivu4/Launcher2.odex
NOTICE: After doing some testingtons, I have to be the bearer of bad news. This does not work on ART. I don't know why, it's just stock launcher2 with Motorola's own modifications and then my 10 extra lines of code in arrays.xml. If you want ART performance on Dalvik, go check out the Motorola pulled (does this class as irony?) Dalvik modifications.
I love stock launcher. Period Totally agree with OP. It looks to me more "stable". Closer to perfection. I don't know you guys but i can't see 60fps while swiping in app drawer ong GEL . It's like around 40 or something
+1 for stock

4x4 makes all the app icons low quality, but I do like the transparent bars, and I linked the Moto X's launcher that has them (Will overwrite existing launcher, back it up)
I loved GEL launcher.
Love the transparency, loved the way to add widgets and wall. loved the "folder" background.
4.4.2 Stock on ART.
My biggest complaint with GEL is that the home screen is located on the far left side, with a swipe left for Google now. Feels like an iphone. I like my home screen in the center thank you.

I prefer GEL on my stock 4.4.2 ART version, I love transparents and Google Now integration
Stock with gel features would be cool. Transparency and the widgets being able to be accessed again from holding the home screen.

Since GEL I don't need alternative launchers anymore, same on other devices.
GEL is too buggy for me really

Does launcher3 have transparency enabled? I don't get why Google keeps using the old launcher for the N4.

No it doesn't, which is why I attached the Moto X's launcher replace the one in system/priv-app with it, reboot and you get transparent Launcher3.

Moto X White Status Bar for Droid Maxx

Hello,
here i present you the moto x 4.4 white status bar for droid maxx, ideal to use with gravitybox to get the whitish kitkat look.
Obviously Root is required.
Simply put The file in System/Priv-app.
backup the original file just in case you dont like it.
and restart the phone.
These icons ARE NOT VERIZON UGLY 4G/3G Icons.
This file doesnt change Clock and Battery color, thats why you need gravity box.
if this was useful to you press thanks!​
Can't you just adjust the colors to white in GravityBox? What is different with this? Just curious.

Its not the same as that because he only changed a few icons or the most used ones, like 3g, 4g and lte, but other than that it shows default blue icons, this one has all the icons from the white kitkat, as its extracted and pasted on the systemui.
