While on the lockscreen, put your finger on the clock and swipe down. This will expand the clock widget and then allow you to long press the clock and remove it. Once removed (or swiping to an open lockscreen panel) you will see the white plus sign graphic that will open the lockscreen widgit selection dialogue.
Let me know if this is confusing, I can try to explain it in a different way.

Awesome got it! Thanks bro!

[Q] Nexus 4 Lockscreen

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the clock on the lockscreen, i have a nice background picture I want to use but the clock is in the way. I am rooted running CM 10.1 Also I tried using WidgetLocker, but I want to keep the pattern and when i use this after swiping to unlock it brings me to the stock lockscreen. Any help would be amazing thanks

Sorry for my English first.
Hold your finger in the middle of the clock, it will show an option to remove it.

With default stuff, you can't.
So then which launcher should i use in order to modify only the lockscreen?
Is this possible? Am used to default launcher, i dont mind some change to fix my lockscreen but i'd like to keep the rest of my phone/home/buttons as default as possible.
Thanks again for your help

In cm10.1, for example , you can change the lockscreen options, and get rid of the clock widget.

Sure you can. If you actually mean luck screen and not status bar. Expand to full size, long press that "frame" and drag it to the trash.

Lockscreen apps

Hi all,
I have strange problem at Lockscreen, when i press the back button at Lockscreen a grey squre appear and the only option is to slide to unlock the screen.
Please see Attached file
I've look at the Lockscreen settings but there is no option that is talking about apps (already disable it).
Hope that someone is having the same problem.
Thanks,
Roy.
I'm not sure what you mean. But if you want to add a widget scroll the top half until you see a plus sign, tap it and choose a widget.
If it's short cuts, that's done through the menu somewhere like in your pics

It is not really a problem. I don't really understand you too but if you want apps on the lockscreen you have just to go in settings and when you are in the lockscreen there are in. When you swipe widgets pages the apps disappear and you have to swipe to the top for seeing it.

thr s always two way to access lock-screen setting;
setting > display > lock-screen
security > lock-screen (or screen lock)
on lock-screen option u press on it (instead of disable/enable toggle) then u will go to complete setting of lock-screen
:good:
Maybe I didn't explain myself I want to disable the widgets so I will not get the grey squre.

REQUEST - Customizable Stock Lockscreen

Hello fellow G2-Users,
One thing that bothers me with this great phone is the lack to customize the stock lockscreen. For example display calendar and weather, changing the clock etc. I know there is WidgetLocker and other apps but i want to keep the great unlocking animation from the stock lockscreen and of course knockoff from lockscreen.
Who else wants this?
Who can make this possible?

I'm using a PIN code for security, so that changes things a bit. On that version of the lock screen, you can swipe from the left and add widgets. Stock lockscreen.

Thx for your suggestion!! iam aware of that and it is also avaible without PIN security. But i want to see my next appointment and weather on the main lockscreen and change the (ugly) stock clock.
Try "Android Weather" app. It has the features you mention, you can make the widget transparent if you want, and it can be added to the lockscreen.

After the first week or so with lockscreen widgets on other phones, I found them useless. They were limited in information and functionality... and honestly, my muscle memory was to pickup my phone and unlock it. Then if they magnified to the full screen, the area to swipe to unlock got small... I just think for me, they were a waste. Once I am 2 or 3 swipes, or touches in, I can unlock it just as fast.
I hope someone figures out how to add them back. I have an ICE app that I need to have a lock screen widget for.
I always used the message g widget, always quicker than unlocking and going into the messaging app, I also used the app shortcut widget that u swipes to the right for, especially after getting spoiled using cover lockscreen, which I uninstalled due to too many bugs

The same for me. Please, help us!
I know that with root, I can use Xposed framework and download galaxy s5 widget to do it... but what about Note4 without root ?
(P.S. I'm sorry for my English...)
Ice contact lock screen
You can add your ICE contact (phone number etc.) to lockscreen by writing it in to the "owner information" -field, which can be found under lockscreen settings. No need for ICE-app.
