Personally, I replaced it with Widget Locker, because it works better..

When I install Widget Locker, it doesn't disable the original lock screen, so now I have to unlock twice - first Widget Locker and then Samsung Locker. How did you work around it?
Don't know if it is a bug, but when you set the powerbutton action to "shutdown", the lockscreen is disabled also. Look in the code thread for the code, or download sgs info from the app forum to set the powerbutton action.

The other lockscreen does show sometimes I have noticed (such as for alarm), but ensure all security on it is turned off for things to work properly. Also, you might just need to set the options better.
I use widget locker even though it does lag a bit because I find the samsung unlock too sensitive (even in JM5)

I had the same problem.
I liked the Widget Locker, but this "bug" is so boring.
I must admit I hate the Sweep to unlock screen. I'd much rather have the stock Android lock screen.

If you set the power button to shutdown, can you still lock the screen with it?

its a little buggy, when I press power button it first shows the default galaxy s lockscreen than the simpe lockscreen. Second the clock remains at the same hour, it changes only when I unlock the device and than lock it back, after that it freezes again, its not real time
i don't have that problem, it works for me
i just want "Sweep glass to unlock" to be completely removed
anyone know what is the name of the APK "Sweep glass to unlock" in Titanium Backup?
I'll try out simply lock, I like widget locker because earlier I had a bunch of widgets and apps on it that I'd be most likely to call up when unlocking (maps, internet, power control, weather widget.)
Now, with LauncherPro's gesture shortcuts I have blank homescreens and just dock icons with a dual functions since I use a gesture on them. Now, I've cleaned out widget locker to look at my beautiful background. Meanwhile, I can get to my homescreen by pressing home, back and/or having a lock icon (vanilla, widgetlocker, sense, and I think 2 other options).
Definitely liking this look to my phone more than all the others I have tried. I even use a bit of livewallpapers for the first time, doesn't hurt my battery life too much as long as they allow my phone to sleep (I've noticed one that wouldn't so I keep my eye open for battery drain when I wake my phone after the screen is off).
i use live VR wallpaper and or the Mario live wallpaer
those 2 are fun
the rest are okay but boring, i tried matrix, nexus, all the ones that came with the phone, etc.
still waiting for some more interesting ones to pop up in the horizon, something more interactive
I enabled the standard unlock pattern under settings-location and security
I much prefer it to the sweep glass.

There's a great little app called 'No lock'.
Search for 'No lock' on the app market.(Its a free app.Also has handy widget)
i tried no lock again, but it doesn't work
"Sweep glass to unlock" will still show up after reboot
no lock is just another lock screen
same problem here, i don't like "like sweep to unlock" either
do u guys have any solution yet ?

I assume you've seen aCircuit Board? Isn't too bad, paid apps weren't available when it came out but I'll probably get it soon. I actually want to get the free one that works with beautiful widgets (haven't bought beautiful widgets because every has been saying its been broken from an update, but when they fix it I'll probably be all over both).
I definitely like the ones that use the accelerometer/motion sensors like the VR paper. I saw one with Android Andy's falling, but it looked a bit too cartoonish for me.
I found Ocean Waves to be quite interactive and nice enough, but it was the one that I've isolated to giving my phone sleep issues so I wont be using it.

Yeah, I agree, I was using that until I got widgetlocker because I found myself having much less "re-dos" on unlock attempts. Now, I just hit a softkey and I'm to my home screen or if you want you can have a slide to unlock that I find more intuitive and accurate than sweep glass.

Funny how it works great for me.
After the screen times out,no matter how long I wait.. when I press the home key the screen lights up again without the need to sweep. Even after rebooting it works,no need to activate it again.
Awesome.

Hey XDA'ers,
I just picked up my N6 a few days ago.. I've been on Nexus devices after I gave up on the Galaxy S3. Never looked back! (Except for my CM12 LG G3 )
So here is my question to you all. Has anyone created or integrated app/code that once your face is recognized, unlock to home screen without a swipe? I was comparing the iOS finger unlock with my fam this weekend and it would be nice not to swipe up even though your face has been recognized.
If its not implemented, I can donate some money for someone to create something like that if plausible. Maybe a bounty if others are interested.
Thanks for taking a look!
Is that not the default behavior when you select face unlock as your security? I haven't used it in a little while however I am sure that is how it works. Turn on phone, look at it, boom home screen.

Nope. I use face unlock right now. Once it recognizes your face, it allows you to swipe up. It didn't automatically unlock.
Couldn't this pose a risk of unlocking when unintended? Perhaps you just want to see notifications on the lock screen quickly and see if you actually want to unlock and act? Or what about changing the track in the lock screen music player?

I see your point, however if someone were to make an app or bake it into a ROM, there could be a "hold off for __ seconds" before it checks for a face and goes to home screen. For instance, you could make it zero if you want immediate unlock, 10 seconds to check notifications. And if you didn't want to unlock and just check notifications, you would just hit the icon so it stays locked until you swipe up at that point (how it is with 5.0 at the moment.

Then I would be too impatient when I want to skip the lock screen and just swipe anyway - defeating the purpose. Swipe is faster than wait 10 seconds to auto-unlock.

Similar thought: I'd like to have no lock screen at all when smart lock unlocks the phone with trusted device/location as well.

I think it just makes sense! If you don't want it, simply deactivate the feature, right? I'm starting my developing classes later thus summer. Maybe I'll be able to cook something up if nothing shows up by then haha.
Thanks for your interest guys, but it looks like not many are interested :/
+1 definitely would love someone to fix this
Bump because I want this, I can't figure how to do something like this with tasker.
What I want:
Condition: Lockscreen locked with pattern, trusted face enabled and triggered.
Scenarios:
1. Notifications present? Remove pattern but allow me to swipe to unlock when I'm ready. (Current behaviour)
2. No notifications? Go straight to homescreen without any interaction as soon as my face is detected. (New behaviour)

I've been trying every combination of tasker and secure settings I can think of, but there's no way I can detect when smart lock is triggered with the built-in settings.
http://nelenkov.blogspot.com/2014/12/dissecting-lollipops-smart-lock.html
I read that, and there seems to be a per-user trusted flag that's edited by smart lock, if tasker somehow could read it, we could trigger actions with it.
There problem is I don't know where the flag is or how to read it, I'm a bit out of my league here, maybe you are more knowledgable in this matter.
Take a look at the Stock LG G2/3/4 ROMs, this is their default Face Unlock behavior. I came from the G2 and am having withdrawals, partially because of this feature.

I'm on Marshmallow and use SmartLock, so under the right conditions no unlock is required. However, at switch on there is nevertheless always still a screen to be swiped away (clock and emergency contact). Does anyone know a way of eliminating that stage, so that switch on goes directly to the desktop?
Thanks.

Go to Settings --> Security --> Screen Lock --> Choose your desired Screen lock --> You should then see a screen like the following, select No Thanks and your device will still be locked but you won't have to enter your Screen Lock when starting the phone. I hope this helps!

Many thanks. I do already have that setting set to "No thanks", and indeed, when I switch on I do not have to put in my code. However, there is still always a screen (clock and emergency contact info) that has to be swiped away. It doesn't require a pin or patten, it just has to swiped away. And that's what I'm trying to get rid of.
Why would you want to get rid of a screen which will tell people how to contact you if you lose your phone...?

I'm only talking about when I'm at home and SmartLock is operational. If I lose my phone in my own house, I don't need my contact details on screen! At all other times the regular pin required screen works fine.
I'm just trying to get to a point where, when I'm at home and SmartLock is doing its thing, I can switch on directly, without any additional screens at all.

Yes, that's what we want. We need Google for that. Because the only way to bypass the 'lock screen swipe' is to disable all lock options.

Thanks. In which case it's a shame that enabling/disabling the lock screen isn't a single operation, but requires putting in the pin code. Otherwise it wouldn't be difficult to setup an if/then automation; "If I'm at home, then switch off lock screen; if I'm away from home, then switch on lock screen".
But since that's not possible, I guess I'm scuppered. Unless anyone has any ideas ... A third-party app, perhaps?

There are unlock apps in the playstore, but that kind of apps need root access to bypass the lock screen.
Be carefull.

Unfortunately I don't believe that any automation/macro app would be able to do that, because switching on SmartLock requires a sequence of actions under Settings, including twice entering a four digit code. I've never used Tasker, so I may be wrong, but surely that's not possible even for that app?
I may well be wrong, since I managed only a few simple tasks with the direct-buy Tasker (i.e. non-Play Store) and then lost the key, and the developer had also lost my registration, so I stopped using it. But it should be possible to create a Tasker task along the lines of "at home don't lock" which should remove the need for a code entry - I'll have to defer to our colleagues who regularly use Tasker.
Thank you very much for that. I've had play with "AutomateIt" which I currently use, and which is a simpler version of "Tasker", and in fact it offers the same screen lock/unlock feature that you discribed. I tried it, it works, however when the screen lock is unlocked, I nevertheless still have to wipe away the clock/contact info screen, so I'm afraid I'm back at square one again.
Just started using intelligent scan and it's really impressive in how fast it is. I'm just annoyed that I never get to see the lock screen, to determine myself if I want to fully unlock the phone.
Maybe I just want to swipe some notifications away or play/pause the music. I can't do that, without going to the home screen first.
Is there some setting that I'm missing that would disable intelligent scan going straight to the home screen?
Edit: Found the setting. Don't know how to delete this.
You could have at least shared the setting you found.
Open intelligent scan in the setting menu, confirm your pass info the then off this setting.
How can I toggle the AOD to be completely off? This is driving me nuts. I'm aware of the settings within the Motion Sense area of settings. The "show when nearby" seems to take, however no matter what I do the clock still appears no matter what as an AOD. I've tried disabling the following in different combinations to no avail:
Motion Sense
com.google.oslo
Pixel Ambient Services
com.google.intelligence.sense
Motion Sense Bridge
com.google.android.apps.motionsense.bridge
Even tried the clock app itself
com.google.android.deskclock
Whenever these are initially disabled it seems to work for a minute or so but then the clock pops back up on the AOD. I just want the toggles to work! This is for when I'm driving and my my phone is mounted where it faces me. I already have 2 clocks in my car and don't need a third it's more of an annoyance than anything else.
Do you have Always On disabled in the Lock Screen settings?

Searching for "always on" yields no results.
I don't have a lock screen set as I don't need it, though I did try setting one temporarily to see if the option showed up, but nothing. That's how I used to do it on my note but they moved everything around on 10.

Display, scroll all the way to the bottom, select lock screen display, bottom third of the screen you'll see Always on, toggle it off. You can still have it light up by tapping, lifting, or triggered by soli, in any combination if you wish.

With everything re-enabled and a hard reboot, I set a screen lock. Then went back to display and the "lockscreen" option was now available. I turned off AOD and then disabled the screen lock and it took. No more clock.
It seems as though the AOD toggle being buried in the lock screen options, which is only available when one is on will take no matter of a lock screen is set. So every time I want to change this I have to go through this process. I wish there was a Quick Settings shortcut for this.

Well it's not exactly meant to be toggled on and off often like the ones in the Quick Settings pulldown menu. The easiest and quickest way is just searching "Always on" in settings and you can actually toggle it right there as seen in the screenshot.

Also if you are not using the active edge for anything critical you might try button mapper by flar2 and see if one of the options can be set to it. Or maybe even on of the other options in his app will apply it.

I don't now and have never had a lock screen enabled on my phone and can and have always been able to enable or disable always on display. Unless you disabled some app affecting this as mentioned above it should be there for you too just as it is for the rest of us. You may want to look into that and see what's hanging you up.

I haven't been able to do it since it was virgin out of the box, the option just isn't there. Doing it on my old Note 8 was super easy it was right where it was supposed to be. Although I have found a workaround for anyone on the off chance I'm not the only one experiencing this.
Being rooted, I downloaded ShortcutMaster and used the app explorer and poked around until I found;
[Setup Wizard]
com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard
tap and scroll down to;
com.google.android.pixel.setupwizard.alwaysondisplay.AlwaysOnDisplayOptInActivity
Choosing [launch] triggers the screen from inital setup to toggle the AOD.
Set it as favorite, or Homescreen (on the paid version)
Launch Shortcut master each time to change it or use the homescreen icon shortcut.
The setting seems to take each time I've done it so far.
