Still searching for this. But noone has given the solution yet. Would be interested into changing the wallpaper.

A very limited customisation is possible through settings> lock screen> sview cover

I'm very much interested in this as well, as I would really like to be able to control my audiobook player from the little screen, and quickly see the contents of incoming notifications (email/sms/hangouts/whatsapp).

ADW EX Launcher with Multi Picture Live Wallpaper.
Great vid, now I have this to add to my project list for the week. I need to go from android newb to pro with a rooted phone with updated kernel and a custom launcher set up.
Fabulous tutorial. When I get my note Ill try not to mess up what you instructed.
One question though. With the 3d UI can I use live/active wallpapers (the ones that move like the moving galaxy) instead of pictures?
Static

Hi, unfortunately it's only static wallpapers i'm afraid
Static screen problem
This question is for James, I presume, the maker of this tutorial. I've followed all your steps for the 3D UI, but, for some reason, the picture is staying static, there is no cube effect when I scroll screens, and yes, screen scrolling is enabled on AWD Ex. Help? =/
Did you enable the transition effects in Multi picture live wallpaper as well?
For me it works perfectly on Go Launcher Ex. I sat the transition there as well to outside cube.

[Q] Lockscreen Widgets

How do you remove the digital clock on the lockscreen? It keeps returning after I delete it. Also, can you add other widgets besides the four shown?
I was able to use uccw on the lock screen
Try to replace it with another widget. Then go back later and delete that one.

Tried that. The clock came back.
Is there at least a way to make it look decent, without the stupid bold hour digit? I wouldn't mind having the clock on the lock screen if it didn't look so bad.

Download Fixed Clock from the Market/Play Store and use that widget in place of the stock one.

If it's not available without a new launcher, use Image 2 Wallpaper and make your custom wallpaper fit properly.

Again only 4 columns home screen

OMG I was shocked to see the Note 3, just like the Note 2, only has a 4x5 grid on the homescreen. What I don't understand is how Samsung can develop a device with a huge screen, and then totally forget that they can make use of the extra room to place more icons. Even the original Note had 5 columns in the home screen by default (I owned the original Note, the Note 2 and now the Note 3).
I wanted to fix this using something like Assassin tools just like I did when I got my Note 2 a few months ago. Then I read about the Knox warranty void 0x1 on the Note 3. I don't want to void my warranty, although I find it completely rediculous that a user can loose warranty cause he wants to install another (modified) operating system to his device. Suppose Microsoft forbid me to install Linux on my PC!
But okay, we have to deal with it and we probably can't fix this problem (making Samsung change it's strategy) easily. So now it's becoming a challange to solve the wish for a more customizable home screen. How can we do that without root? Yes you could use a custom launcher, but I really like the Touchwiz launcher and it's widgets. Does anybody have ideas how to create a customizable grid on the Touchwiz homescreen to place icons and widgets, without the need to get the phone rooted?
Also: why can't we set the dpi per app? Same goes here, we have such nice devices with big screens, I'd love to have control over the per app dpi in Touchwiz! Is that possible without root? Anybody have a solution for that?
Or do I have to issue a ticket to the Samsung development team and clearify my wishes? And if so, will they listen?
I don't understand how you could be shocked by it, You must of already known this before buying the phone? the Samsung launcher had always been the same just like the xperia launcher etc
As for customising it if you don't want to root your phone right now when it is possible, im afraid you will have to wait it out. Try some other launchers at the moment besides I'm pretty sure most of the widgets work on different launchers

Ok I was not shocked in that kind of way (I love the Note series enough to keep buying each increment), but I can imagine that I'm not the only user with such a big screen who wished there was more room to place icons and use apps optimized for big screens. So the shock is that apparentely I am the only one complaining about this, or Samsung doesn't listen....

Fair enough that's just the Samsung launcher though, it's not the "Note3 launcher" I suggest installing nova launcher or apex and replicating the touchwiz look with themes or icon packs for now, just be patient it was only released a few days a go ^^

Mate, I tried searching, but your thread didn't show up. Sorry... And yes, I'm a bad poster, I have a lot of knowledge from reading all threads and keep up with the development, but I'm always afraid to give an advise (we know there were brick risks, now KNOX..). But I really appreciate all the good work, knowledge and skills here. Again sorry!

Ok I'll try Nova (just installed Apex today, because I bought it earlier, but I''l give this one a look, since it seems like Touchwiz is not mod-dable without braking warranty). Thanx!!

Hehe, no problem at all!! To be honest: much more people should open up such a thread, making Samsung realize that it is necessary to work on this.
So: lets keep both (and more) threads (of this kind) up!

Samsung just says "if you want more options, install another launcher. We're not stopping you."
That's the point of Android. Don't like it, change it.
I got rid of the Stock launcher within the first 30 minutes of purchasing my first Android phone (S3.) Haven't left Apex Pro since.

Yeah it works but I can only make shortcuts to apps, not to (for example) browser bookmarks. Also missing the icon labels. But indeed it's a solution and I like the idea. I'll search for better widget and share when found. Thanx!
