Lockscreen Customization with adb - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

This is my first post and I am pretty excited to be a part of this community.
I recently followed a tutorial I found on here using adb to go into full immersive mode.
Having now discovered the joys of adb and USB Debugging I was wondering if there is any way of customizing the lockscreen using adb. More specifically I would love to use a KWGT widget on the lockscreen instead of Samsung's default. Does anyone know how to do this? I've searched through a few forums and most of the lockscreen customization is from KitKat or earlier.
Thanks!

Install different lockscreens?

Hey Guys,
Looking for some new lockscreens. Would really like the froyo 2.2 lockscreen from the droid x or D2. I like the looks of those slider bars.
Does anyone know if this is available or ones like it?
I dont know if its possible to replace the actual system lockscreens ... I know that WidgetLocker has those Motorola Froyo Lockscreen Setups, but well, its a external solution, the internal Lockscreen will not be replaced at all ...
one is called Lockbot

Awesome this is exactly what I was looking for. It works great, thanks for the tip, loving my new lockscreen now.
batmania15: since the latest lockscreen gestures update (in CM 0.04-10.11.29) I'm not using the unlock bars at all. You should check it out...

I tried the lockscreen gestures but didnt like them. I had one set for S and one set for B and everytime I drew the B it launched the one for S.
The default sensitivity was set too low, you could simply fix it for you by setting it to 3 or higher.
In 0.04-10.11.29, the default is now 3.

i think widget locker is a perfect choice
i m using it since i got the phone
While Widget Locker is a nice feature to have I think the Milestone just can't handle it. 256mb and if you throw a few widgets on it or a few widgets in your Launcher Pro/ADw, your home screen will redraw 24/7. I noticed like a 2x redraw rate with WidgetLocker. It's nice, but our phones can't handle it.
Need 512mb ram damnit.
sorry to hi-jack, but aren't you the Batmania15 from the MOTO Milestone support forums?
Any word on official FroYo?
i have another sort of question about lockscreen.
is there a way to have a picture on lockscreen different to the background picture?
You can set an alternative wallpaper i widget locker for the lock screen

Nadlabak,
The gesture lockscreen is great! Thanks for this.
Is it possible to use your gestures lock instead of standard Android visible pattern functionality? I mean to secure lock screen via gesture only. I ask because if you turn it on, then you can use gesture OR standard swipe unlock (so it's not securing the phone).
Thanks in advance for any sugestions!
Yes, you can turn off standard unlock slider option in the cyanogen settings.

[Q] 2.2 Lock pattern widget question

I have been searching for widgets to lock/unlock the pattern lock like in 2.1. I have tried a lot of the widgets in the market and none of them work for 2.2. Does anyone have any suggestions to use? Right now I have to keep going settings/security and redraw the pattern just to unlock it.

Are you talking about the 9 button trace pattern thing? I don't use it, but if that's what you're talking about, why don't you just disable it, and create a lockscreen gesture in whatever trace pattern you want, no sliders, assuming you're on 6.1 stable....
I'm exactly in the same case you were. Since my update from 2.1 to 2.3.3 none of all the widgets I've tried manage to do the job. And each time I'm forced to redraw it to enable or disable.
Did any of you find a solution ?
PS : I used to do it with SwitchPro widget, tried with Beautiful widget and also with UnlockPattern Toggle.

Settings>Location & Security>Set up screen lock
Edit: And if your on CM7 Settings>Cyanogenmod Settings>Lockscreen>And then the top option to disable the regular lockscreen

yeah thank for your quick answer.
But unfortunatly I already knew this.
I'm just looking for a way to bypass the new security rules to do it with a widget. Just switch on/off.
Actually I'm on X10 2.3.3 rooted? But the original ask was the same.

Lockscreen Issue

I have done a bit of research on the subject and yet my question remains unanswered. How do I disable the Amazon Kindle lockscreen - yet enable the GoLocker lockscreen (or any custom lockscreen for that matter)?
I was informed by another user to download an app called No Lock. It works well and fine - but it only disables the lockscreen completely. I wanted to take full advantage of GoLocker's cool themes.
If anyone has any further development on this issue - please indulge. Thank you.

If you are rooted install go locker by putting the go locker apk in your sys apps folder and change permissions to rw-r-r and install then restart. Works great the only time the kindle lockscreen pops up is at reboot but then go locker takes over.

[Q] How to remove lock screen weather widget?

Hi everyone,
I do love these forums. In the 6 months I've had my phone I've learned how to unlock, root, flash new ROM's, firmwares, splash screens etc. all just by reading the posts of you enthusiasts on XDA.
I'm running the latest ViperOne.
My question is how to remove the lockscreen weather widget/icon. There is an option in Venom tweaks -> Lockscreen to change weather to none but that doesn't work for me, but the change city option works.
I have tried to enable/disable Settings -> Security -> Enable lock screen widgets, with no effect except to be able to add new lockscreen pages.
Has anyone else had this?
Will.
I'm pretty sure its not required but here's a screenshot.

[Q] Lockscreen mod

Hello,
I have searched at various sites (including this one) and have not found a lockscreen mod for the lg g2. I did find a flashable zip for the Nexus 5 but that's about it.
I just rooted and one of my reasons for rooting was to change the lockscreen. I'm not happy with the locker apps on the play store and the lockscreen tweaks you can do through Xposed aren't substantial enough.
Don't know why LG implemented their own instead of using the standard kk locker that other devices use. I love this phone but the lockscreen is an eyesore imo.
I was just hoping to find a flashable zip and decided to reach out. If not, I'll just continue to use the locker apps I already have installed.

The ability to change the lockscreen was broken with the KK update. The only way I know of getting an AOSP lockscreen is to run an AOSP rom.
