I am having an odd issue. When I try to add widgets to my lock screen my phone just does the "end of screen" animation (like when you get to your last screen on the homescreen and the apps tilt) and won't swipe left.
I can swipe right to the camera just fine, but I can't edit the clock or add widgets to the left.
I have disabled a lot of bloatware on the phone. Other than that I don't know what it causing it.
Any suggestions?

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.
So just installed CM10.1 on my Touchpad. Works great. Now Im reading that you cn add widgets to the lock screen and have looked at videos on how to do it. But there is just no + icon on my lock screen. Could it be that I have an assigned PIN to unlock my device? If so then how do you add a widget in this scenario?

Have you tried swiping left? Still nothing?
yes i have swiped left, right, up, down. there is no + icon. I see in the settings under Lockscreen there is an option to allow multiple widgets. Have turned that on and off with no results. There is the Widget pager>Allow multiple widget pages to be added and selected. That's is checked on. Then there is Camera widget>Show the camera widget to the right of the unlock screen. That is checked on. Doesn't change my lockscreen in any way.
Actually I have done that several times and when I go back the options are turned back to off. Wonder if that has to do with me connecting to Exchange and it being part of the security policy. I don't know I'm just shooting in the dark.
I just installed cm-11-20141022-UNOFFICIAL-w7-LG-D415 and would like to customize two things on my phone.
1. I would like to close the messenger so that when I unlock the screen, it isn't the first thing I see. I like to open my messages when I feel it's time to open them and not have to deal with them until I'm ready for them.
2. I would like to kill Yahoo Weather. I don't want it running every time I reboot my phone. If I want weather info, I can use my browser to get the info.
As a first time user of CM; I'm very impressed. With a little more TLC on my phone; I'm sure I'll be a very happy camper because of it.
Thanks to all of you who put more than a few tons of effort into this,
Jim

It may be that you're not swiping straight across the screen. There are 5 targets on your lock screen, and it just so happens that the messenger app target is just above the home screen target. I've attached a screen shot of my lock screen targets as an example. If you press and hold your unlock icon, the targets will display. Just swipe to the target you wish to open. How fast or slow you swipe doesn't matter as long as you stay in contact with the screen, you're golden!
You can disable the Yahoo weather info on your lock screen with the following steps:
- Open SETTINGS in app drawer
- Select LOCK SCREEN
- select CLOCK SETTINGS
- select DISPLAY WEATHER
- select button to turn off
- Exit using the BACK ICON located on top left of screen. Don't use the back key or your change may not be saved. I have attached screen shots for reference.
Enjoy! The devs on this phone are extremely helpful!

I tried your steps for Yahoo weather and didn't see a CLOCKS SETTINGS in LOCK SCREEN. No problem because just disabling the clock app fixed the problem.
The "Hold and Swipe" is a nice feature. I wonder if it can be customized.
Is there an easy way to turn the speaker phone on?
Thanks,
Jim

jran0880's steps, #3 "CLOCK SETTINGS" should be "Clock widget". There you'll find 3 entries, "Clock and alarm", "Weather panel", and "Calendar events". Select either on of those to manage it's settings.
Also, jran0880 is correct. The messaging app does NOT automatically show when unlocking the lock screen.
The targets can be customized. In your lock sceen settings, there's the option to Slider Shortcuts. Choose that and swipe to the one you wish to change. Tap the icon to change it and select the app name to change the app. If the app you want is not listed, press "apps" at the top of that list to show all your apps.
The speaker phone is located on lower left of your in call screen. 2nd icon from the left.
I did a reset on the Lock Screen and that made things just "peachy keen".
As for the weather and lock screen, etc.; there's no Clock Widget when I open Settings, Lock Screen. If this helps, I installed the Pico-GApps. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I have a weird problem with my Note 8 (running pie)... the screen resolution for my lockscreen seems bugged. The app shortcuts (2 apps at the bottom of the screen) are cropped and the clock seems larger than usual. I am inclined to think that the resolution is stuck in a weird setting. The AOD is affected as well, clock looks bloated and I can't even see the home button.
Tried playing with the display resolution. I'm currently on 1080p... 1440p still has cropped app shortcuts... 720p makes the apps completely disappear!
I've installed a couple of apps that would make the navigation bar disappear (which is my suspect for this weird resolution). Nova Launcher, Fluid Nav Gesture and your very own navigation gestures. Did the whole ADB step to completely remove the nav bar.
Only app that would change the lockscreen is Lock Star from Samsung's Good Lock but I uninstalled it and cleared the partition which did absolutely nothing.
Been googling all day for a solution and sadly didn't find any... hopefully you guys can help me because it is so irritating. Not to mention I lose the home button functionality in my AOD.
Sadly since I am a new member I can't post images.
Have you tried changing dpi in developers section in settings, that might help
Finally i upgraded my note 9 to pie. Battery life is certainly better. But I have 2 issues:
I have set a custom screen dpi in developer options to 455 dpi. In oreo it was perfect but in pie somewhere the text is too small like names below the icons, widgets and somewhere the text is too big like clock text in the status bar and text in device care app. Also the icons are way too big in proportion to the text below. Am I missing some setting?
I had set swipe down gesture to open the notification panel under homescreen settings in Samsung launcher. It was working perfect in oreo but in pie it sometimes work 1 in 3 tries and sometimes even 1 in 5 tries, i.e., i swipe down on the screen and nothing happens. Whereas swipe up to open the app drawer works perfect without any issues. Strangely if I disable the notification panel gesture, the default action for swipe up or down becomes opening app drawer and it works just fine without any problem. Anyone else noticed this strange behavior?
If not already, wipe the partition cache as that usually helps with most issues after update.

For the first question: Why not use the scaling, font size, zooming options from the settings menu?
For the second one: no, for me it works perfectly fine.

The scaling options available under display settings cannot go till 455 dpi.

I've got the same problem you mentioned in #2. It's pretty annoying! It's like it's become less sensitive, or the activation area is now higher and in the middle, or your swipe needs to be longer.
Not sure for the first question, but Nova Launcher from the play store (as do many other good launchers) have multiple gestures. Nova Launcher has the gesture that you pull down on the home screen to open notifications and also has swipe up to open app draw as well as many other gestures. I use Nova Launcher with those gestures and it works very well.
I have the same problem swiping down it's so annoying
And strangely flicking up for apps works so easy but more pressure is needed for downwards? Must be a software issue

About swipe down, do you have any widget on your homescreen? If you swipe down on a widget, it gets the swipe gesture instead of the homescreen itself so the notification panel doesn't shows up.

No widgets. I also enabled to view screen touches in developer options. And I can see its registering my swipes everytime but the notifications panel doesn't open everytime.
