[Q] Lockscreen questions (dashclock) - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using an AT&T Note 3 with DashClock installed for my lock screen.
When coming back to my phone my lockscreen shows something like this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In order to get more information I have to manually drag the widget to make it bigger every time. After I drag it down or scroll to a new screen and back it shows up like this:
From this screen I'm able to just tap the notification and load the corresponding app. I am used to this functionality from my previous iphones. Is there any way to automatically load the widget as it appears in the 2nd pic above?
Thanks.

It looks like this is a feature in Android.
"People...Built by design, stock 4.2.X has the 'main' lock screen widget shrunk so that you have full access to the lockscreen slider right away after unlocking. You'll need a non-stock/custom ROM (AOKP/CM) that has such option built into it, allowing for main lockscreen to be expanded as soon as the phone is unlocked. This isn't an 'app' issue/fix but stock ROM related. "

Xposed has a maximize widget module for this. That is if you are rooted.

[Sug] Possible to remove time from top right of notification bar?

Hi guys,
I was going to post this in general, but as it is possible development I thought it may best be suited here. Sorry if it isn't!!
Anyway, I'm no developer so I don't know if this is even possible, hence why I thought I'd throw it out there.
What I was thinking is, as a user of the flip clock and also using Stericson lock screen, I have the time in full view of my home screen / lock screen all the time.
The fact it is in the top right corner is of no use to me really. It's also apparent that when you have several icons in the notification bar (especially when plugged in on USB) it gets crowded and tends to hide alot of them.
What is the feasibilty of removing / hiding the clock from the notification bar, and moving the 3g/wifi/bt/battery icons into the right hand corner?
Would this actually be possible? I know this wouldn't suit all users but some people may like this as it would give more space for other icons to appear there.
Any Devs care to elaborate on this?
Thanks.
If you wanted to hide the time, you could just make it transparent using Ohsaka's colorChange.jar. Of course, that wouldn't help with the crowded icons.
I like the time in the right corner, useful for when I'm browsing the web on a break from work.
Or try alternative home app: Home++

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Sadly this has been asked quite a few times, problem is they wont answer even though people want it.
I guess for now home++ is a good alternative - though I do like using advanced launcher, so removing it properly from the notification bar would be better.
I guess it's just one of them things - although an official yes or no it can't be done would be nice from a dev?!
Thanks.

i'll look into making a black/gray/white version
edit:
made it, check the attachments.
I like the dock. How do I set the center icon to be the phone application without putting another icon on top of it? I'm not sure if the issue I'm having is clear. Basically, when I assign the center button to be a shortcut to the phone, it makes me choose an icon for it. The icon I choose lays on top of the phone icon that you have in your image file. How can I fix this?
i provided an blank icon that you can pick
I downloaded the BlueDock.zip file. In it, I see 3 Images:
BlueDock.png
BlueDock_nobutton.png
screenshot_2.png
I don't see any blank icon. Am I missing something?
Also, May I suggest that instead of using a blank icon, can the colorful phone Icon be provided seperately and used on top of the noicon image? That way when you scroll through docks, the phone Icon will scroll with the other icons. Also, this would give the option of not having the phone be the center Icon on every dock.
just noticed the first zip had the wrong file in it! added now!
Where u get that wallpaper?
Nice docks, I'm using the blue one now!

[LAYOUT] Scrolling Dock Banner/Icon (Howto)

Ok, so few people asked me how I placed a Banner like Icon in-place of my dock. I wanted to answer directly but thought why not share it with everyone else. So here a tutorial on how to do it.
First, this is how it looks like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And a demo Vid
If you think its cool, then read on.
It's fairly easy, but quite tricky. Here we go.
What you need:
Launcher Pro
Banner/Icon (Template links later)
Desktop Visualizer
1. Set your home-screen row to 7 (for a 6 row home-screen setup). (This seems to be the most efficient value for me)
2. Now add a desktop visualizer 4x1 widget
3. With desktop visualizer, select your desired banner/template as your image and set the action as none (as seen on the video below)
4. Place the new widget on the bottom most part of your home-screen.
5. Now back to LPP preferences, set your home-screen row back to 6.
6. Might take long to load but there you have it, a scrolling banner on your dock.
Notes:
I believe you can use any number of homescreen rows from 4 up to 9 but I havent tested it yet and I only have a template for a 6 row homescreen.
In the video, I used a 5 column x 6 row setup opposed to the 4 x 6 setup on the tutorial to lessen the changes from stock layout.
forgot to mention, for best results, use transparent dock ang dock-shortcut icons.
Banner templates:
4x1 (right click and "save as")
5x1 (right click and "save as")
The Grey part is what the dock covers, blank part should always stay transparent. Just paste your banner over the gray part and make sure that nothing overlaps then delete the grey part entirely.
Cant seem to make youtube link to work, just click here and here to watch the vids
Thanks for the tut. You gave me an Idea on a cool homescreen. Mind sharing the text icons used on the vid?
Here is your video:

Full screen mode stopped working

Any idea why the full screen mode suddenly stopped working? Is there some hidden setting for that what Bixby changed etc. etc. when using a ton of voice commands :victory:
I have enabled full screen mode in "settings->display->full screen" and all of my programs are allowed to use full screen, but none of them do. And if I disable eg. Chrome and then launch Chrome it asks whether I want to run it in full screen or not. I press "run in full screen" but the navigation bar still persist

Weather on Lock Screen & AOD

This seems like it should be VERY simple, but I can't figure it out... I just want to have weather displayed on my lock screen and always on display.
I went into Settings - Lock Screen - FaceWidgets - selected Weather, and the "show on Always on Display" option -- no luck.
Suggestions? I must be missing something...

Would also like to know... haven't been able to find out how.
Their implementation blows. On AOD, you have to double tap the time then scroll. On Lock screen, you have to scroll the time. Makes it pretty worthless.

I was trying to figure this out. Thanks.
You can change the order.
It's kind of in a strange settings under lockscreen-face widgets.
At least then you don't have to swipe 5 times
