How to activate Widgets in the Lock-Screen? - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i have the problem, that i cant add any widgets to the lock screen. TAB 4 8.0
i know, that 4.4.2 should have an option, to enable this feature.
but i cant find it.
if it tap on the lockscreen to change for example the clock widget..then it appers the folloing massage on the bottom of the tab.
edit in the saftymode ist not possible
i mean, if the saftymode is on, there should be a possibility to turn it off. but dont know where.
the device ist towel-rootet.
if someone has a good idea what i can do, i would be very thankfully.
bye und thx

This dont Work for me unfortunally

I think Samsung just removed this feature (for whatever reason...).
Maybe this can be repaired by Xposed?

What happened to my lockscreen?

I was adjusting my e-mail settings when the phone frooze. Had to remove battery to restart.
But after that I got stuck with this lockscreen.
Softreset didden't work. Tryed to switch between windows standard and windows classic lockscreen but nothing.
How do I get "The Slider" back?
(I have no lockscreen mods installed)

Go to the settings tab, Menu, All Settings, Lock and go to the Display tab. Make sure you've got Windows Default selected, not Windows Classic. Click OK and it'll ask you to restard. You should now have the lockscreen you want back.
Hope this helps
Edit:
Sorry - I just noticed your device isn't in English. I hope you can translate my instruction on your device okay.
Sorry, I guess "Standard Windows" is Swedish for "Default Windows" so i have already tryed that.
I have also tryed it with HTC sense off but still no change.
Still in need of help!

Okay - sorry mate. That's me done then.
Thank's for trying!
So what do you think, will a hard reset do the trick?

I reckon that would do it, yeah, but it seems overkill doesn't it. I'd hang fire for now and see if anyone on here comes up with a better solution. At least the phone is locking! It could be worse.

when i sekect lock from all settings, theres only setting password and hint. nothing else. my lockscreen wont automatic lock wen my screen is off.
I found that after a soft reset my Lock screen would not appear after the phone had gone to sleep (or I'd turned the screen off manually).
I solve it by .......
After a soft re-set or having turned the phone off;
go to Start
press 'Lock' at the bottom left of the screen
The lock screen now appears and then acts normally - until the next soft reset when I simply repeat the above
Nop!
Allready tryed that, still the grey lockscreen...

Lost Screen lock
Here is the one simple solution that works for me:
When I installed some cab. files I have lost the screen lock.
Longpress the end/power button. this will bring out options to power off, Lock device, set vibrate...
Simply press "Lock device".
Now you have a screen lock that keeps working.
Well I've tryed that but It will still use that grey thing...
//Johan
Some people don't really read that well, do they?
argh
i have to always manually set the lock device. it wont automatically do it.
i recently installed pocketshield and that messed it up so i dont think everyone deleted properly?
should i use SKTools or a software to delete unused registries? or is it cab files?
YEEEES!
I figured somehow the default windows lockscreen file must have got corrupted...?
So I installed this cab:

found in this tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618989
As a last attempt before a hard reset. And thank god it did the trick!
Thank you all for your help, without this forum my HTC would have ended up in the bin the day after I bought it!

still didnt work. just still acting the same.
i have the same problem after i have installed puremind's 1cab4all_20shcutsv1.3No.Net3.5.
i tried the above suggestion but didnt work, i have to put the lock device to make it work, but i dont want to enter the password everytime to go to homescreen.
Anyone have the same problem?
1. This happens a few times on my HD2, make sure you have BSB Tweak installed. There is an AutoLock switch on there. Make sure that is set to On (which it will be default).
2. Then on the odd occasion when the device does not lock, hold the power button to get the Quick List and click Lock Device, now it will be ok - till the next time it happens (mine usually after a few days in which case repeat step 2).

[Q] Why not to "wake up" the Legend by pressing any key ?

Hi,
its my second day with HTC Legend..
I love it, its totaly nice but i just have a quistion !
is there any way to give all keys the ability to wake up the device
then i touch the screen to unlock it ? i think it would be better than
waking up device by pressing Power key ! and it will save power key
pressing counts..
in other way the screen is already locked and we have to unlock it
after waking up the device !
so, Why not to "wake up" the Legend by pressing any key ?
i want to know why they did not put this option
and if there is any way to fix it ...
Thanks..
Hey man, had the same issue myself and a free app in the market fixed it.
Search nolock and grab it up

Check out the NeonMod or Azure ROMs. Both have the ability to wake screen using the trackball button or menu button.

There should be an app called Market. Android Market. It's where you go to download apps, which is the whole point of smartphones

hey ! i installed NoLock and its just disabling or enabling the HTC Lock screen , but still cant wake up the device by pressing other keys except Power key !! ...
I want any way, app or trick just to allow me wake up the device without power key, and i dont want to disable the "htc locked screen"
Please help me..
thanks all
Could you finally access the Android Market? If not, tap the screen on that left soft buton (the one with the small arrow) and a list with all installed apps will pop up.
Search for an icon called Market with an icon like a bag (someting like the one attached)
After pressing it you'll enter in "the market". Look for an application (you have a search at the top of the screen) called FlyScreen. It's a screen locking utility that brings you something similar to Froyo one, with lots of options (including placing widgets on the lockscreen). Besides that, press on any device buton to wake it up then slide it to unlock. The only bug I've found was that pressing Home buton wil give you the homescreen instantly, without the need to unlock the device.
Let me know if it's ok for you
no market in my device and noway to install it, i tried everything its something with software policy in some areas, and my phone is not rooted , i dont wanna break the warranty
Did anyone ever find a way - other than installing a custom ROM - to do this? It sounds like NoLock just enables/disables the lockscreen, and what I (and the OP) want is to be able to wake the screen up with the home or trackball button.
Any ideas?
Cheers
did you find any way ? am still looking but nothing found !
and i dont wanna root my phone..
it almost be impossible in a simple way without modifying "/system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl" file. But modifying this file requires real root or recovery mode.

Weird, because I was using No Lock and it removed lock screen and gave me an option to wake my Legend with press on any key. It basically wasn't a good idea, since I pressed vol up/down by accident far too many times.
The no lock app works. No lock and wakes up on any key including the volume keys (not a good idea). The widget solves my problem though. I keep it unlocked when at work, but keep it locked otherwise. Doing it manually now.
Would love an app that can do it automatically
Guys, I told you that you can use FlyScreen for what you need. For those who don't have access to the Android Market, I've found a topic on this forum that has also link to download the .APK from MegaUpload (you find the link HERE)
With this small application, you're replacing the default lockscreen and also you can wake the phone by pressing any hard button not only power. The drawback is that pressing Home, will get you on the homescreen without need for unlock. Test it if you like, anyhow the application is free.
Yeah, I got flyscreen but I can't figure out how to make it work.
When I enable "Lockscreen mode", every time I go to unlock my phone I get a "Please wait" message before I can actually unlock it. Even though I don't have any widgets on Flyscreen.
Does this happen with you?
No, for me worked from the beginning without any problems. I've initially used the weather widget but the red color was hurting my eyes so I've disabled it.
I don't know what advice to give, there are plenty of settings to try and you should also check their homepage for tips.

I found a way to do do something like that you want. As i can see you have cm7 so you have the CM settings, I guess. There are 3 lockscreen settings which can do sort of what you want:
1) Go to ->Unlock options and enable Menu unlock & Disable unlock slider
2) Go to ->Delay and timeout and put screen timeout delay and screen turn off delay to max (30min i think).
So your phone after these setting will lock after 30 min of nonuse and will unlock by pressing the menu button without showing any slice to unlock!
Hope I helped...

[Q] CM10 Lockscreen shorcut

Hi everyone, I know we can add shorcuts in the lockscreen in CM10, but I'm trying to get a shorcut to toggle between silent mode and normal mode, just as the stock lockscreen, but I can't find the right option, can someone help me do this?
Thanks in advance!

Didn't find it yet, will let you know if i do.
On a side note, anyone managed to get both the "standard" lockscreen (ie : with the unlock/camera shortcuts and so on) and the unlocking via pattern (ie : have the normal lockscreen who pops the pattern unlock once unlocked) ?
Didn't find a way to do that.

I think it's settings -> lock screen -> screen security -> show widgets before unlock.

Rooh thanx a lot it works.
I hadn't put together the "displaying widgets" option and the "stock lock" activation.
Soo i guess i'll now have to search a bit more to get the mute/unmute widget on the lock screen (and get rid of that silly google shortcut on it ).
edit : after a few search and tests :
- we aren't the only ones trying to get a mute/unmute button on said lockscreen, but i didn't find a solution
- it seems pushing and maintaining pushed the two vol+/- buttons at lock screen makes the sound control panel appear and interactive (as a "poor" substitute for the mute/unmute widget on lock )
- the camera app button "works" in the way it start the app... but it still requires to unlock the lock screen and phone to get to it (at least in my tests ).

I've tried a lot of options from "activities" and it seems there's no option to do that
What I'm doing is to disable lock security and while locked I can still roll the notification bar down (when no pattern, pin or password set, of course) and toggle from the switcher on the notification bar... I still think that the lockscreen widget would be better though...
Thanks for searching too

Drop-down menu available when the phone is locked !!!

Dear experts,
Today I got my Mi 9T. Still trying to find my way around, but... I find it PRETTY
ASTOUNDING, that when the phone is locked, I am able to swipe down on the
LOCKSCREEN, and I see all the icons for turning on and off of VITAL functions
like ringtone, wi-fi, mobile data...
This poses a SIGNIFICANT security risk, because anybody who steals the phone,
can turn off wi-fi and mobile data and then the Find my phone feature simply
won't work.
So, what is the solution to this ? I didn't find a way to disable that menu from
being shown in the lock screen...
Or maybe the Find my phone feature works when wi-fi and mobile data are off ?!?
Many thanks for your professional comments on that!
P.S .: I think it is like that on Samsung phones as well !!! WHY ?!?
I understand your concern, the drop down menu (aka Notification shade) can be dragged down on lockscreen and it is like this on every aosp kind off ROM....
But I am very sure that the icons CANNOT BE OPERATED unless you unlock the screen.
Try to turn off wifi and it should ask for password to unlock.
Can you check it out and conform it?
Settings -> Notifications -> Lock screen notifications* -> disable "Open notification drawer on the lock screen".
* the picture/icon on the left. It's not obvious it's a submenu (nor that there's such a critical setting hidden inside) because for no apparent reason they've decided to use a totally different design language here.
Thanks. Was great to read this, however I don't have this option... I only see apps, format and open notification shade... Nothing about the drawer
Any other ideas ?

That is the one. Notifications / Lock screen notifications / Open notification shade on lock screen - set it off and you won't see it on Lock screen anymore
I found it!! Was just too slow to report here. It is called "Open notification shade on lock screen" !!
THANKS A LOT to everybody !!

funny thing is to today I was looking up how to secure my phone as I still have access to a lot of things by just pulling down the drop menu so ja since when has security become so weak and its mostly on expensive androids phones that its happening I have a button type phone made by vodacom yet its security is more secure that mine it has the ability to set users on the hotspot which makes you think that you actually wasting on expensive when the main purpose is to be secure I also punched into to YouTube and I searched for secure yet all the results is lol how to unlock any android this is insane and I FEEL THAT BY ROOTING YOUR PHONE AND GIVEN AN OPTION TO CHANGE LIMITED ACCESS WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO AT LEAST HAVE MORE SECURITY ON OUR PHONES
