I have recently update my HTC one ( non- carrier version) to Android 4.3. However, unlike before, I cannot find the 'Change lock screen' option in settings. Can any one help?

Why do they do this stupid ****? No wonder HTC are losing all their street cred.
Never even noticed. Interesting.
Turning the lockscreen compeletely off was one of the best features for me. And now its gone. Well, its time for a custom rom...

I was in the latest stock rom 2 days ago. I cannot have direct access for the dock like before.
But you can desactivate the lock screen. My version is in french so maybe my translate is bad, but you shouls find it.
Security -> ignore lockscreen on wake up (the second line from the top)
After this, as i don't have any pin after the screen lock i go directly into my home screen.
But maybe europe OTA is late...
I have that option enabled (please see attached screenshot) and no security set and it still goes to lockscreen. It's not that hard to flip it away, just very annoying because the animation lags a bit, there are two things to do and altogether it's a lot slower than just pressing the power button and instantly be on a homescreen.
Will try the new 4.4 kitkat google edition rom.
Get an app to help you with this...
I used a free app "No lock screen" from Google play store, and worked like a charm...
Hope that helps!
This ROM contains the Chinese to English translated apk files so all you have to do is flash it. The translations have modified to better reflect the function of the various tweaks. Two additional tweaks are available. You can resize the nav bar and wake the phone up using the Vol key. Turning off the shutdown message still doesn't work. The virtual power (screen off) button is located on the top right corner of the screen. The interface is EMUI2.3. The ROM can be used with the L05, L07, L10 variants. Xposed 2.5 works but interferes with EMUI so you might want to use another launcher. Some parts of Gravity Box work. The options displayed when restarting the phone are stll in Chinese but the options are self evident.
Don't forget to backup!!

Glad you like it. The ROMs author does quite a good job considering all of the obstacles. I don't know if we will see anything incorporating EMUI3.0. Huawei seems to have made customisation even harder with the release of the B604 ROMs. In other threads there has been quite a bit of interest in downgrading from EMUI3.0. I guess there are reasons for wanting to downgrade but I'm uncertain as to what they are. In any event though, I'm not sure I would want to upgrade to the successor to the P7 when its released as it may well be impossible to work with. The most appealing aspects of the P7 are its size and weight. Every other device with a 5" screen is bigger and heavier. A bit of a "turn off" in my view.

The only thing i would like to change is the grey navbar. How can i do that
Hey, I originally had a German T-Mobile branded M7 (T-MOB101) and yesterday, I changed its CID to switch to the unbranded European verison (HTC__102). Everything worked fine; I flashed 6.09.401.12, so I could receive the Lollipop upgrade via OTA to 7.19.401.2. However, after installing the OTA, I noticed that I don’t get the same Sense 6 experience that I briefly saw when I updated the original software to Lollipop (7.18.111.2).
In particular, I am missing additional functionality from the HTC Sense Lockscreen. The one I have does not have the swipe left/right functionality to access Blink Feed and more importantly the lock screen widget page. In fact, when I look at my security settings, I am completely missing the option for lock screen widgets.
I have found a screenshot which shows where the lock screen setting should be but instead, I just have the following options: Screen lock, Smart lock, Kid Mode, and Incoming phone calls.
I’ve also tried to update the lock screen via the Play Store, but when searching with the device, I cannot find the entry, and when looking at the app’s store website from my computer it tells me that it isn’t compatible with any of my phones.
Since I have seen this functionality working on the phone before (with the other lollipop version), I am now wondering what other options I might be missing too. Do you have any suggestion as to why this happens and how to unlock the functionalilty?
And get rid of a few annoyances in the mean time?
EDIT: SOLUTION it cost me half a sunday if not more.
I have a stock Moto X 2013, Europe version. I was very happy with it, apart from a few minor annoyances. Untill I received the Lollipop update months ago.
Missing features or new annoyances since Lollipop:
Wake display by waiving your hand. This was in my opinion a killer feature.
SOLUTION: This website which presents a solution using TASKER. Untested
Shutdown menu - extremely annoying if you just want to reboot
Enable flight mode via Shutdown menu, since the menu is gone, you miss this option as well
Mute phone with 1 button, the volume down button. The alternative, selecting MUTE also disables screen or glow notifications. There is NO way to only mute sound/vibration a Moto X 2013 with Lollipop. You have a SMARTphone that cannot be muted like any other phone!
Bluetooth and mobile data toggles have been removed. OMG even Windows Phone 8 has it.
Lockscreen: swipe to right for camera. Gone.
White popup (general Lollipop annoyance): if you swipe it away, the notification is gone from the bar, you cannot read it/respond from the notification bar after swiping it away.
Minor but not dealbreaker features I would like to have: hide NFC and Bluetooth icon in the notification bar, be able to hide app icons and/or rearrange them in the app drawer.
What do I need to do to get all these features back? I want to stick to the stock experience as much as possible. Custom ROMs with tons of customisation features is not what I am waiting for. A custom ROM with near-stock experience and fixes for the issues mentioned above would be welcome.
But if it is possible to solve all of them with XPosed and/or Tasker, that would be fine. Unfortunately I searched these forums for 3 days now and I cannot find a dedicated Xposed topic with this info (there is 1 but it has little useful info). I hope others have a similar experience and found a solution!

This is a question, shouldn't it be in the Q&A?
1) This can be restored by flashing the 4.4.4 firmware
2) Xposed -> GravityBox (Power)
3) Xposed -> GravityBox (Power)
4) Tasker?
5) Xposed -> GravityBox (QuickSettings), or if you mess with the settings for either of those they may pop up in the quick toggles after some time
6) Xposed -> GravityBox (QuickSettings)
7) Xposed -> GravityBox (Notification Ticker)
Status bar icons can be hidden in GravityBox (Statusbar)
The drawer changing can be done with XGELs (Google Experience Launcher)
If this information helped you get it working, be sure to pay it forward by donating if you can
I am definitely going to unlock bootloader, root and install Xposed, see if I can get all of this back. Saves me the risk of potentially unstable ROMs and saving a lot of time testing different ROMs. Thanks a lot!
And yes, I believe projects like Xposed absolutely deserve a donation. I just finished flashing my own HTC One M7, it will also have Xposed (first time going to use it). The Motorola is owned by the lady. I will definitely donate if it works for me.
Wave-to-wake is present in some roms, for example the modded stock rom
There is also the lockscreen with the swipe for the camera.
In order to modify the power menu, you can use APM+.
For the toggles use Gravity Box.

Good to know, but why would I go to all the trouble to install that ROM (which would include wiping my phone) if I can reach all those goals with XPosed/GravityBox
I have stock Lollipop 5.1 European version about:
5 - bluetooth toggle exists, IIRC it only appears if you use it; mobile data toggle also exists, just need two clicks - one on mobile data tile and one on toggle
6 - don't know about secure screen options but if you don't use password/pin/other you can swipe left for camera and right for dialer
7 - you can swipe that popup up to just hide it and without dismissing or use one of this app to remove/modify them "Heads-up Notifications" "HeadsOff - TickerOn" even without root
I believe that the Nexus Experience rom (NX ROM) offers most, if not all of the features that you're looking for, and it offers a very stock experience. The only reason that I don't run it is because I've grown accustom to tapping gently on my phones shoulder when it's sitting on my desk to activate the Active Display to see what time it is or what notifications I've been ignoring. With NX ROM, Active Display works great, but it's not as sensitive. So I have to tip my phone up, or sideways, to about 15 degrees before Active Display activates with. A very minor issue, but I'm very picky.
As far as I remember, it has the hand wave feature, power off/reboot/airplane mode menu, all kinds of toggles, and I believe volume down to mute as well. It doesn't do swipe right for camera, but you can swipe from bottom right corner, or from bottom left (customizable) to activate the camera. Not sure about the white popup thing because I didn't use it that long.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I am extremely annoyed by Google removing useful functionality, harming productivity and introducing new design which is clearly not meant for OLED screens (all white). But with all these suggestions I can hopefully stick with the Moto X for a long time, since no brand but Sony will bring us high end <5" phones.

Also have the European version, but I have a completely different experience. Swiping heads up notification always removes the notification from the statusbar (on all Lollipop phones, not just Motorola). On my HTC One M7 with GPE+ ROM I could lower the popup to 1sec allowing me to access the notification in the statusbar when needed. Works fine.
Another Lollipop bug (not even fixed in Android 6.0.1) is that the dialer shows ALL contacts of ALL your accounts (Google, Exchange, Outlook, Facebook, Skype etc) regardless if they have a phone number or not. The Contacts app does allow you to select specifically which contacts to show per group per account. In 4.4.4 this also applied to the dialer, since 5.0 it does not anymore. Google it and you will see people going nuts about this. A Google employee replying it will be "fixed" in M.. which is nuts since most phones with this issue will never receive an M upgrade.. also, now that M is available for Nexus, it's not fixed. The only solution: find a better dialer in Play Store.. this nums me completely... a phone OS should have at least a good dialer.. and apart from this issue the dialer works fine.
SOLVED
SOLVED:
Documentation + all links below in case anyone or myself ever need to do this again.
The most important part explained in detail:
- uninstall any phone drivers from other phones, uninstall Android SDK etc
- install Motorola USB drivers (Motorola Manager)
- install Minimal ADB & Fastboot in C:\adbfb and install mfastboot in that same folder, use mfastboot instead of fastboot. Scroll down in the Minimal topic to find the link to the Fastboot guide. It lists the command to flash recovery (TWRP): NOTE !!! unplug the phone from the PC right after flashing recovery and use the volume down button to scroll to Recovery in Bootloader, use VOLUME UP to select recovery after uplugging, not the shutdown button and do not reboot first (I used shutdown button and rebooted and spend 2 hours figuring this out)!
- copy all required files (the ROM plus its addons) to c:\adbfb.
- Flash using TWRP, first the ROM, then the addons, then factory reset via TWRP.
Short overall steps:
1. bootloader unlocked via the Motorola site (official method)
2. installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 (the newer one has an issue)
3. installed the modded/debloated stock ROM
4. also installed all the addons for that ROM, listed in that same first post.
5. After first boot and initial setup, Copied Xposed Installer, AdAway and installed them via Amaze File Manager (Play Store).
6. Installed the Xposed modules: GravityBox, Moto Checkbox, Sensify, BTAudio. Used GravityBox and Moto CheckBox to get most features back and personalise Quicksettings and some other great tweaks.
7. Used Sensify to install the HTC Sense Launcher (read the first post to install the correct version!!) which is basically stock launcher WITHOUT persistant Google Search Bar WITH ability to rearrange/group/hide apps in the app drawer and with black background, good for our OLED screen. No free launcher in the Play Store is as simple and plain as this one with these features (Nova Prime can do it but it costs €5 and adds a huge load of features I never need).
8. Wave-to-Wake is still not present in the debloated ROM but I will use the Tasker workaround. Haven't tested this yet.
9. To get the maximum out of your battery and have apps that are easier on the eyes, create a backup using TWRP and carefully follow the instructions of Team Blackout (Black Chrome, Black Calendar, Black Hangouts, Black Keep, Black Whatsapp etc). Haven't tested this yet.
10. Play Store > Settings: disable auto-update in Play Store, also disable the notification of updates.
Hi guys, I updated my moto g 2014 with CM 13 snapshot. I've noticed the below issues:
1- I'm using 2 sim cards, but only one sim (primary sim) is displayed in the notification drawer.
2- while searching a contact on dialer, and upon selecting the desired contact, the call is made directly through the primary sim. There is an option to select the sim card on the search bar, but it's not convenient.
3- Do I have to flash every time to update G-apps? Or will it update automatically?
4- The brightness of the display is bright even at lower setting. The stock OS allowed to dim the brightness much lower.
5- when will C-Apps available for moto g 2014?
6- I've enabled arrow keys alongside the soft buttons while typing. Sometimes, when I move the cursor with it, the cursor just jumps back to another or previous position. Encountered the same while typing this via Firefox.
7- will proximity wake up or any similar feature will be available anytime soon?
These are some queries I have. And I do hope most of these will be minor bugs and fixes are under development.
Anyway, big thanks to all you guys to make such a wonderful software. I'm really enjoying it. Much better than stock OS by all means. You guys are the best. ????
Installed C-Apps
Finally I installed C-Apps on my Moto G 2014 and its better than ever. in case any one needs it, here's the link: cyngn.com/c-apps
Apologies if I'm posting this on the wrong section.
