Lock screen is displaying caller on one side and camera on the other side. is there any way to change those items or removing them from the lock screen ?
There are tons of lock screen replacements in the Play store. Check them out.
If you mean stock rom doing it then the answer is no.
However this is Android and there are many apps that can take care of that on GPS

I love my newly rooted Aria... I do however miss my lock screen. I loved having the Aria lock, where you pull the whole lock screen down to get to your apps. With CM6 you get the slide bar to unlock. It's not terrible, but I'd really really prefer to use the old Aria lock screen... Anyone know if this is available anywhere or how I go about doing it? Thanks in advance...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I BELIEVE that lock screen is sense ui and since sense (that sounds weird) is proprietary it cannot be added to CM6...there are however many lock screen apps that will allow you to choose something remarkably similar to the sense lock screen...widget locker is one of them.
Also, how did you manage to get the slide? When I unlock (bring my phone back from standby) it just shows me my visible dots for unlock pattern and once I enter that brings me to my home screen...

Hm, did you try just disabling your lock pattern? It's either in the CM6 settings or the ADW Launcher settings. By default after I rooted my phone the lock screen was a little slider bar, not like the iphone slider, it was a little tab on the left of the screen and when you hold it you slide it to the right. I ended up just disabling my lock screen completely but would go back to the old sense lock if I figure out how. I do remember reading somewhere that disabling the dot lock pattern will default to the slider lock screen, should work for you.
Hello everyone, my lock screen always appears whenever I open an app. Not all apps, but the google play store or SMS or something like that.
The steps I've done:
I've disabled the lock screen completely and removed all codes, and then added them again.
I use an application called No Lock which either enables or disables the lock screen. When I'm home, On GB at least, I use it to not lock the home screen because I don't need security at home. I click the widget to lock the screen when I leave the house to enable it. I've cycled through the on off for this application and still the same results.
Any ideas?
Almost all android phones comes with customized lock screen depend of the phone maker. Unfortunately majority only allows some features on non password/pin protected locks. So far I have noticed that only HTC One has PIN screen lock customizable - e.g. text message preview, different wallpaper.
How does it looks on the new Z1? Is pin lock screen a stock android or it is something more advance?
When I use the trusted devices feature, I'm constantly uneasy with the idea that there's no lock screen. Not because of security but because of usability. I'm worried about pocket activations. I also miss the lock screen when playing music. I wake the phone to change the track and I see Chrome or whatever I was last using, instead of the beautiful KK lock screen. Basically, I'd like a way for my trusted device to unlock the door without removing the door. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere for requiring a swipe or something like that on the lock screen?

If you're asking if there is a stock setting in the phone to do this, then the answer is no. At least, not with the current version of Trusted Devices (TD).
However, there is a workaround that involves third party lock screen replacement apps. To use your analogy of the door, what you could do is put a screen door in front of the main door. Then when TD removes the main door completely, as it does now, your screen door will remain to do what you wanted. It's a bit quirky though. I tried this with free version of Holo Locker (HL), very small minimalist one-permission KK lockscreen. You can try others but I'll refer to HL in this example.
So to make this work I find you need to do two things:
1) set HL to lock only, no security. if you set HL security TD will treat it like the regular lock screen and disable it. So you can't just disable the stock security and use HL by itself with security enabled.
2) after you install HL and have it running, you have to re-enable your regular security. That is, go into security and redo your pattern lock or pin or whatever. if you don't do that your stock security lock will stay replaced by HL, even when TD is not running. Note that when everything is working, and when TD is not running, you will have two doors, a screen door and a main door. of course, you can set the main door to only close at certain intervals. Like, if you set the stock security lock to thirty minutes, you'll basically be only dealing with the screen door HL most of the time. when TD is running of course you'll only deal with HL.
what about the question regarding music, not wanting to see the last app you were on but rather go elsewhere instead?
Most 3rd party lockscreens have shortcuts for this sort of thing. Even the free version of HL let's you replace the search and camera shortcuts, and since it let's you replace them with whatever app, you can choose your music app and go directly there. HL also has the Home button visible, so you can use that to go directly to the home screen.
Another option for music is to use a music app that has its own lock screen replacement. For example, Rocket Player has such a setting, not on by default, third option under Operations->Lockscreen Options. if you use your music app's lockscreen you'd probably not want another third party lock screen like HL on top of that, or at least turn turn it off while running the music app.
Like I said, Holo Locker was just the example i tried to experiment with. There are tons of such apps in the play store with different features, try a few. There's even an open source one called Pi Locker here on xda check it out too.
Wow, that's really helpful. Thanks.
So I'm trying to use alternative lock screens like Picturesque and Next Lock Screen on my Nexus 6 running Chroma ROM.
This doesn't seem to be ROM specific.
I have a PIN, and I use Smart Lock with a pebble and locations for work and home.
On both lock screen apps, when I swipe to unlock I am presented with another lock screen, the stock lock screen, so I have to swipe a second time.
So Next lock screen - I swipe down to unlock, then I'm presented with another lock screen with notifications on it, where I have to swipe up to unlock (stock lock screen).
This is likely user error, but I can't figure it out how to only use 1 lock screen. Thanks for the help!
In android settings > security don't you just need to set the lock screen to none?

I guess without doing that only the 3rd party lock screen will be visible. Tried with go locker. Never had this duplicate luck screen issue. Though I used to have such issues with my galaxy s3 sometimes with a specific lock screen app.

That would work, but then I would lose all security on my phone (no pin unlock as a result of setting no lock screen).
This happened on other ROM's so I don't think it's specific to Chroma, but nobody else seems to be having this issue..?

Maybe you need a custom rom. Some have the option to turn swipe off when a PIN / Pattern is applied. At least on KK they did.
IMHO< The stock lock screen is too good to pass up so maybe not many people have tried. Or maybe some lockscreen apps seek to use root to turn off stock swipe (again they used to try)
I guess I'm going to hope this issue is fixed with 5.1.
