Moto X - Lock Screen Widgets - Moto X Q&A

I just picked up a Moto X earlier this evening and I had two questions about it.
1. Can you add slider shorcuts on the lock screen like you can on CM11?
2. Is there a way to disable the vibrate feature when using active display?
Thanks in advance

1. Not on stock, maybe there is a mod or something like that, but you would have to unlock your bootloader and root ( assuming you are on 4.4.2)
2. There is since the last update, go to your settings -> sound and uncheck vibrate on touch

If you have a carrier branded model (vzw, or at&t) you will not be able to unlock the boot loader... You can however root the device and with gravity box you can have lock screen widget shortcuts when you touch the unlock symbol it will show the shortcuts you preset.

anyone able to help?
thanks!

Hello
It is not this Option.
We mean only the Vibrate setting in the Lookscreen

Perhaps your wife has broken her vibrator in some way? The phone is waterproof... Jokes aside, I found the setting on mine (CyanogenMod 10.1, 4.2.2 as well) under Settings > Lock screen > Screen security > Additional options... but it is greyed out!? #noidea

I checked and no other option to set vibration except for the one I said above. I also tried setting a pattern unlock and there is vibration on each dot of the pattern. Perhaps you can just tick the option under Settings -> Sound and see if it works?
I have attached a screenshot I found which shows the setting.
It used to be under security settings prior to 4.2
the option is no longer visible after 4.2.2 update.
it seems my wife turned off that option before updating, and it kept the setting. but now it's not possible to turn back on as the setting is no longer there......

You can disable the Moto Display and Moto Actions apps if you don't want them to function at all.
just being curious, what do you not like about the active display?
sorry, it was a stupid question since the answer was right in the settings. I don't have the phone, my friend asked me about it.
It was under the MOTO settings.
His issue was privacy concerns. Why would emails and text messages display on the phone before was even unlocked.
Convenient - yes. Just not secure.
It has an option to make it more private...just shows a notification and not a preview..
Open settings - display - attentive display. There you will see "stay on while looking" click the box. That allows you to enable "battery saving mode" click the box. Now you'll want to disable "stay on while looking" unmark this box. Hope this helps.

On custom ROMs you can even disable "all" notifications on locked display and choose what you want or none.
Any way to disable active display in stock MM, without giving any permissions to the Moto app?
I have disabled the Moto app, and can't use it without giving it permissions first. I have also disabled it's notifications, but haven't restarted yet.
Any ideas? I simply can't stand active display!

[Q] [SOLVED] Lollipop issues: edit lock screen, close all apps

Hello,
I'm on 5.0.2 Sony stock FW, rooted. I'd like to be able to add custom widgets to my lock screen (Power Toggles) and to be able to enter my pattern without having to swipe up first. (The dot grid only becomes visible after swiping up from the bottom of the lock screen.)
So basically, I'd like the lock screen to immediatly show a widget and the grid. Notifications are not necessary.
It used to be simple to customize lock the screen... Does anyone know how to get this done?
Thanks!

Well, it looks like you're right. I have even tried several apps. (CM Lock, SnapLock, AcDisplay, Keypad Lock) While some offer better customizability, none show the dot grid without swiping.
I'm starting to miss KitKat already. Who could have possibly thought of this as a good idea?

Lollipop does not support lock screen widgets like KitKat did. I use Power Toggles too and now use the notification feature to show toggles on the lock screen. The reason you have to swipe up is to get past the notifications so you can unlock the device.

Scott, I hadn't considered using the notification feature of Power Toggles. That solves one problem. Thanks!
Also I must admit, coming from an Xperia V, the facial recognition works pretty fast in lock screen. (Found under security > smart lock) That means one swipe usually does the trick towards unlocking.
Sony's not off the hook as far as I'm concerned, though. Reducing customization options is never a good thing.
Besides, I don't like some other decisions they've made. Next up: finding a way to get the kill all apps button back

Glad the notification approach works for you.
Regarding customizations, if you are referring to the lack of lock screen widgets, that is not a Sony customization. It is a change to Lollipop. My Nexus devices to not have lock screen notifications on Lollipop either.

I wonder why Google decided to disable widgets on the lock screen. Surely they must know Android users love customization Security perhaps.

I found a way around this, for anyone who's interested. This thread links to stock firmware that has a "close all" button. As far as I understand, it is currently the latest version and localization doesn't matter. But I'm no expert, so please head over to that thread for any information and questions.

Lock screen notifications without content

Hi all,
I am very happy with my new P20 Pro however I have one problem with the lock screen notifications.
The screen will be activated but not content is shown although all settings are correct and no security options are enabled. The lock screen is also set to Huawei slideshow.
Any ideas?
Go to face unlock settings in secirity and turn off smart lock screen notifications.

Yes! That worked for me too! FYI - I tried an online chat with Huawei and they asked me to send my brand new P20 Pro into the shop for 2 weeks to take a look at it! Glad I found this first! :laugh:

Try his theme from EMUI Themes Factory, works for me
Hi, been following this issues as was experiencing this myself. Did all the tips remove lock screen, face recognition etc etc but still wasn't seeing what notifications I had. My screen would light up and say I had a message but that was it. I found changing my theme back to a stock one worked. I can now see the type of notification and the first line preview of the message. Hope this helps some one

Disable : android auto "swipe to unlock" screen?

Is there any way to disable this, or bypass it with a tasker script or something?
I use android auto mirroring, and want to see my launcher screen.
Now every time i see android auto lockscreen, and have to swipe every time.
If anyone has any way to solve this..
I believe can be done with tasker but i haven't much experience.
If i made it i will post it.
This was really annoying on my S9+. On my S10+, the screen only pops up once. After dismissing it, it doesn't return. Not sure if it's a One UI thing or a Pie update, but I'm not complaining.
The latest update to Android Auto allows you to completely disable the screen lock. You're welcome!

Strange... I could've sworn I didn't see that option yesterday on the same version. But it's there now and it works!
It could be stranger.....
I Have 2 Samsung s7, on is Original the Otter one is with Root.
On the Original one the Option to Switch off is possible, on the rootet one there is no Switcher for this Option........
Trying to solve.
Am I wrong or the option to lock phone while driving is only set to display/not display a black screen with android auto logo?
Here if I switch it on/off it's only thing that it does.
Even not locking my phone I am still greeted with my own Phone's lock screen.
I think that the solution for this is to simply disable your phone option to lock after some minutes or even make it's screen always on within developer options.
Hello,
i have the problem, that one phone from me, does not disappear the "swipe to unlock" screen.
I have deaktivate the Option "Lock phone while driving", but it does not.
I have two phones:
Moto G4 Plus: without android-lockscreen and rooted
Samsung Galaxy S7: with pin-lockscreen and no root
When i deactivate it by the Samsung, no Problem, screen is not showing.
But at the Moto, i have no chance, i have set pin-code lockscreen and hiding root with magisk, no chance.
Have anyone a idea?
Thanks.
Hello, for all that have the same problem:
The Tasker-Function "System lock" not only does the screen off, this funktion set the Android Auto Lockscreen on, even if no display lock is active in the Androidsettings!
