Hello everyone -
I'm looking for a transparent lockscreen solution for my cappy. There's a thread about doing this for the Hero/Eris, but it requires a Sense odex. (tried to post URL but I'm not allowed as new user...)
My ideal lockscreen is transparent over the default home screen, so I can still see my standard clock and other home screen widgets. I've tried Widget Locker but I don't like it.
Any help or suggestions?

Could probably modify android.policy to remove lock screen entirely, lol. It's probably a ton more work to enable a sense-style lock.
Or install nolock and adjust your screen timeout to a low number. Pressing the power button would then go straight to your homescreen with full functionality and pressing it again would just turn the screen off.
Hi All.
Quick questions.
I love dashclock, im just wondering if it would be possible to make it my default lockscreen. I mean I can add the dashclock widget no problem, but I have to swipe across to get to it. I would rather have this as my default lockscreen rather than the htc default lockscreen. Does anyone know if this is possible ????
Cheers

On the GPE edition you can swipe to another lockscreen and then press and hold that lockscreen and then move it to the primary position...
Worth a try?

Yeah I give that a go already .... no luck
thanks for the reply though
Exactly the same issue I'm having. Xposed module to keep widgets expanded doesn't seem to work.
Anyone? Can't get this working in sense 5.5 yet either
I dont think that is possible.
Its just the way Sense is programmed.
I'm afraid you'll have to go the GPE way to get this job done.
Hello,
New to the Verizon LGG2, is there a setting for the lockscreen where I can add a reminder/event, besides doing it in the calendar section?
Or maybe a app that might do this? thanks for any info or help.
I have a (rooted) P7-L10 running the latest update (2.3). I am unable to enable lockscreen widgets through Settings: Security as there is no such option available. Consequently, I am unable to install any lockscreen widgets. In fact, the only lockscreen option is the Huawei Unlock with no additional lockscreen pages, and no '+' sign to add any widgets, etc.
Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated as I am extremely interested in using DashClock (especially with DashNotifier).
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

I just checked and when the option should appear if the "Huawei Unlock" method is used. The option doesn't appear if you use something else (at least not on my phone).
Where does the option to enable lockscreen widgets appear for you when Huawei Unlock is selected? I have it enabled as well, and cannot find te option anywhere.

just under, in the "security" panel. I wish I could post pictures but I ****ed up by deleting the systemui.apk and I'm waiting for someone to upload his so I could fix my phone.
Thank you for your replies. I guess it is just somehow missing from my system as there is no such option in the security panel no matter what unlocking option I choose.
If you or anyone else knows how I can get the option back, it would be greatly appreciated.

Use an other theme. For exemple, I use paper rhyme and I have this option. But you can't have widget as default, you have to switch everytime on lockscreen :/
It is probably caused by Nova Launcher which I am really like and do not want to give up.
Any way, I have moved on to Plan B, and installed KK Locker, which is working out really well.
Thank you both for trying to help...

I am using Nova Launcher and Widgets in the lock screen are working. Are you using the right procedure? After enabling in the Setting > Security > thick, in home screen swipe DOWN until you see a padlock icon at the bottom THEN swipe to left or right and you can add the Widget!
That's the whole problem Sergiopi; there is no 'Enable Lockscreen WIdgets" option in my Security settings panel for me to check.
I get the exact lock sign you mentioned in my main lockscreen only after I install and use KK Locker. Otherwise, no widget option and no lock upon swipe down.
Thank you!

Thank you Nomaro; that was it. The stupid 'Balance' theme disables lockscreen widgets and forces its own "Magazine Lock' on the lockscreen. I changed the theme as you suggested, and voila! the option to enable widgets showed up.
Thank all those who tried to help.
glad you got it working!
now a little question about widgets:
can one of you tell me how to remove the main widget (the clock) or use another widget as the "main page" for the lock screen? I can't find anything working on the internet as everything I found just tells we to "click" it and delete it by swiping up like for a widget on the home screen, except it doesn't work.
help please ^^
I had/have the same problem. I figured out that I need to change theme of lockscreen, but no widgets seem to be working, anyways, only those of system apps.
Hey guys I really want to try out the transparent lock screen setting and the clock on the lock screen is being a pain and looks really ugly since I already have a clock on my home screen. Any ideas to get rid of it?

Try custom lockscreen from play store with lp/mm theme. They have many options of customization.
Else if you have xposed try LockScreen Tweakbox
