I know I've talked about this before, but I'm wondering if people have any suggestions.
I'm looking for a lockscreen replacement that will allow me to use my own image as wallpaper. Ideally it will also have lollipop features (I quite like the stock lockscreen, but it would be so much better if I could put my own pic there rather than having it be my homescreen wallpaper).
I've tried AcDisplay - You have the option of homescreen or grey. Otherwise I like it.
HiLocker - Selected image is zoomed WAY in for some reason which results in a pixelated image (even at 2K+ resolution).
Widget Locker - no longer supported.
I've emailed the devs on both AcDisplay and HiLocker, but never heard anything back.
I'd be just fine with keeping the stock lockscreen if I could figure out how to set a different wallpaper for it. Does anyone know if this is possible? Barring this, does anyone know of a good lockscreen replacement that would do what I want?
Xposed with Gravity box is what you need.
It will not have the security flaws that most lockscreen replacements have, and you can change the background.

Absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted! Thank you!
Now...if only I could hide the AccuWeather notification.

Find the app in your app manager and untick the show notifications box.

That's if you want to keep using the app. If not, use titanium backup to remove it completely. However, unchecking the box may keep it from running properly at times, but that would be a very rare thing if it breaks it at all.

I actually figured it out right after typing that reply. Untick show current conditions in the notification settings for the app. Now I can actually see the picture of my kids when I have no other notifications.

As per title, is there a file/setting we can adjust to get rotation to work in home screens and app drawer? I had this working with some custom roms and it's a nice feature actually. Now I'm back to stock 5.0.1 so I am missing it. I don't want to flash a custom rom as they usually break screen-casting to CC (infamous green screen). Most threads I've come across only adress the auto-rotation option and how to enable it. Any suggestions?
There is a build.prop addition need to enable this and lock screen rotation. It's here somewhere, I will see if I can find it but it is hard to do on the phone.

There are rooted stock ROMs that work fine. I use Clean ROM and everything works perfect. That being said, using Nova launcher allows these features, even if unrooted.

That worked like a charm! Well, I had to download "Build prop editor" because for some reason I couldn't properly save build.prop using Root Explorer but once I got to edit it it worked perfectly, home screen, app drawer and even lock-screen. :good:
Didn't want an extra app running in the bckground just for something you can achieve by adding 2 lines.
OK. I think I'm going crazy here but I went to grab my phone and hit the app drawer button and noticed that it was now showing up vertically with most used apps on the top instead of the normal horizontal. Was there a way to always change this that I never saw before. I didnt do anything different unless something got presses and changed while it was in my pocket.
I'm just looking for the option to go back and forth if there is one.
Thanks!
OK figured it out. Apparently google updated their launcher and thats just how it is now vertical, same with the widget. What have been nice for some kind of notice from Google at least!
Same
Same here. I was looking on internet and testing all settings option and i was going crazy too. I hate vertical menú on app drawer, i like horizontal slide.
Where do you read that Google update The launcher and are you're sure is update and not a configuración problemas?.
Thanks.

Hi,
I do not receive lockscreen notifications on my P9.
According to the Huawei rep in their Brussels flagship store this is due to the fact that I use fingerprint unlock.
It is "unsafe" according to them to see or have access to the notifications or even my musicplayer or podcast player controls on the lockscreen when locked...
Is this possible? It's annoying altough the fingerprint unlock is really, really quick and 100% correct (in contrast to the iphone 6S or Samsung S7)...
thanks,
Pieter
I disabled the huawei lockscreen notifications all together and using this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
Works quite well and even supports music controls (the standalone Sony Xperia from xda works great).
It's a workaround but it does the job and is fully customizable.
Thanks, works good indeed, still a pity that the emui 4.1 does not do the job, I like this version of Android a lot, no lag and stutter and more options than stock Android...
Yeah options are always nice but they tend to forgot the option to turn stuff off you dont need stock Android notifications are pretty much perfect imho.
But I think this phone is gonna be popular at least here in central Europe. It's all over the shops right next to the apples and Samsungs. Which means mods are likely to happen.
My P9 now states that the Nils app is using lots of battery...
I sold my iPhone 6sPlus and I'm very satisfied with the P9. I owned only android phones before (nexus 4, Note 3 and 4) but wanted to try out ios, I did for 5 months but never again... -
But for all the things I did not like about ios and iPhone hardware (fingerprint on forefront and body/screen ratio) I have to admit that on the software front everything works on ios as it should...
I start noticing that the camera takes some time loading as well, 2x pushing volume down and it takes 2s for the picture to be taken...

I agree some things are annoying on the software side with Android and especially with custom skins like emui. But just because a mechanism informs you that a certain process uses more battery than others doesn't mean it's bad. On ios there might be processes draining your battery like crazy but they never tell you about it. Just food for thought.
If someone asks me what phone they should get and they say that it should just work and do basic things and money doesn't matter I often suggest apple. But that is not my cup of tea.
All you need to do is change the lockscreen to a magazine lockscreen in the designs app. After that there's an option in the settings to enable them. They won't work with the iPhone style lockscreen for some reason.
Thanks, that does work indeed
But I still don't get my Pocketcasts and Google play controls on my lockscreen...
but well it's already better now

Where in settings? Set alot of apps to notifications on lock screen in the notification center. But still doesn't notify me Got magazine lock screen chosen, but my own picture.

Figured it out. Have to go in and deny and then allow apps that has been allowed to send notifications as standard to make it work...
Magazine lock screen is amazing with notifications showing up BUT it darkers the background so hard its ridiculous. I'd like to use other lock screens like one of the defaults where the clock shows up on the top side of the screen, but sadly that one doesn't show notifications T_T

Thanks agian.
I can get notifications to show but they are not expandable or actionable. Is there a way to make them work as per stock or is this as good as it gets?

Hello everyone,
do you know a way for disabling lockscreen notification white to white, changing text color in black? Default EMUI lockscreen magazine is impossible to read.
Thanks
Hi,
I am playing around with this lock screen/magazine/ ... for a day now and can't get notifications on my lockscreen. E.g. the netflix controls are also missing.
I have a Mate 9 with Emui 5.
This really sucks, I would prefer the stock lock screen from the nexus/pixel devices a lot.
Could please someone write in detail how to get the notification working?
The NiLS App works like a dream.

The NiLS App works like a dream... I am using Huawei P9 Plus - (EMUI 5.0 / Android 7.0) Go for it guys....
I was sick tired of making the notifications to work on Lockscreen other than the Magazine. I guess I finally found some solace.
Nils definitely works but I was bothered by not getting the normal android notifications. They seem to be working well now. This is my environment - B138, running Dark Theme and lockscreen Magazine with changed wallpaper. I enabled all apps to show lockscreen notification. I prevented wanted apps from being closed in power management. I locked wanted apps in recent drawer. I downloaded Blue Mail & Yaata sms and all notifications are immediate. I favor these apps anyways and want push email. Gave up on the stock sms and Gmail as they would not show on lockscreen. If using themes, make sure to keep magazine lockscreen. Just change wallpaper later. Not sure about other apps. Irritating project for sure!
Make sure you Use the theme that has magazine style lockscreen. That allows the apps with lockscreen notifications to work.
Settings-> Lock screen and password-> screen lock style-> magazine style lock screen
This is the key to get the notifications to work. Under lock screen and password you can also turn on screen when receiving notification.
I have just upgraded to Android 7 and the notifications used to show a tiny Icon at the top of the lock screen but no message detail ie if ifs a whatsapp persons pic would show. With the upgrade it either shows the whole message nothing at all or contents hidden, is there any way to amend the notifications to just show the whatsapp logo or email logo or whatever?
Hello,
I suddenly don't have a notification or icon anymore when I have DND activited, which is not so good. I already tried rebooting the device twice with no success.
I use the default theme and didn't making any mentionable changes.
Please tell me I can get this fixed without wiping my device or resetting my settings.
Try going into the phone settings and reset the app notifications and see if that does the trick [emoji6]

I didn't find an option to "reset" my notifications
Go to setting->apps then click on hamburger and select show all apps. Then go to systemui->storage and clear cache. Then reboot phone.
Also in notification setting you can click show system apps as well. Then you will see the DND toggle.
I did that, still not working. Thanks for trying tho.
Anyone else an idea?

I'm talking through main settings. Go to apps. Then from the 3 dot menu show system apps. You have to have system ui. It's a vital peice of the OS. If you can't see the app then I have no idea what could be blocking you from seeing it. At that point I would reset it.

Do the same steps through notification settings from the drop down shade. Click advanced and then show system apps.
Yea I edited my post because I found system UI after changing the language to english. I guess I couldn't figure out the german name or I somehow didn't see it. However, I cleared the cache and rebooted with no success.

The same app has a toggle through notification settings. Select advanced and then the same 3 dot menu to show system apps.
Indeed it's shown as disabled. However, I can't change it.

That's awesome. I can't wait to see the auto light /dark mode in action
Finally, the empty space where the icon labels and the nav bar hide...IS NOT space anymore. This and the unscrollable wallpaper on the homescreen were the only two eye poppers i always had in the new TW (weirdly, bot used to be hidden mods)
Well done Sammy, i even think they are using the boards here for feedback, sneaky bastards.
PS, dont forget to make the new launcher as default, or else it will crash and notify about some java thing.

You probably just set the old one as default again. Clear the launcher default settings (not the cache/data) and try again, i've already got it on on an S7E, S8, and S8+ phones. It should work as the leak itself comes from a Snapdragon variant dump, just like yours.

No it's exactly the same as 9 minus the settings. And I could not get it to stop crashing on my note 8 n950u with 8.0 crc2 build.
Ok it worked fine just not a lot of changes to me.
HOW TO UNINSTALL
I had to open the launcher settings and then go to the About section to get to the app options. Then I set Nova as the launcher and it lets me uninstall the version 10.
Thanks bro
Work perfectly

On this version I have no app icon notifications. Everything else is good.
