Are you talking about your home screen? If yes, then you should try using different launchers such as Apex or Nova.

Yeah, the home screen, so, that's the only solution? No way to remove that notification? I dont like launchers

Well if you somehow find a modified LGHome.apk or an Xposed Module that removes the "drag an app.." message, then you're in luck. If the reason why you don't want to use launchers is that the icons looks different then you can easily apply this LG launcher theme so you can feel "at home"

Definitely go for Widgetlocker.
Widgetlocker!!! its brill
Like others have said, Widget Locker is probably the best. It's available for $0.99 in the Amazon App Store and it's one of their best selling apps (that's how I found out about it).
Thanks guys, just got it. agreed its the nuts!
the other little thing pissing me off, cant customise the powercontrol widget.
Anyway to get WidgetLocker to not unlock with home key press?

Yes, it got something to do with homehelper.
Go to advanced settings/homehelper/ and check the boxes for 'Homehelper Block Home & Block Home In Other Apps'.
That did the trick for me.

Hey, thanks! I never knew about that, but now I do thanks to you!
Same but I want something which works with Samsung's music player's lockscreen widget.
Where I don't need to unlock phone to change tracks, pause /play etc.
Anyone got any ideas???
You can change the background under Settings > Display > Screen display > Lock screen > Wallpaper

WidgetLocker has full widget capabilities. As long as it's a standard widget that can be added through the widget menu, you should be fine to add it to the WidgetLocker screen.

extended controls (0.99)
I'm using the stock android pattern lockscreen.
when I enable widget locker it appears an icon in the notification tab. Is there a way to remove that?

Extended Controls. Market search it. It is the best one you could ever imagine. It does cost, but I bought it (and I am one cheap-skate! ) Great app. Allows you to easily make the powercontrol widget, with a number of themes, or icon packs. Very useful app.
I remember when I bought it, there are a number of different apps that do the same thing. But this one just looked the best at the time, so have a quick read of the info on each app.

Using Nox Icons without Apex, Nova, etc?

Anyone know how to apply icons from Nox Icons to the G2 without using a non-stock launcher? I prefer using the stock G2 launcher to keep "knock knock" but don't like the icons. I already tried changing the icons by long pressing the icon I want to change and selecting the Nox icon I want but it keeps saying "Failed to load image".

You can keep knock on/off with 3rd party launchers, you just need to double tap the status bar up top.
Yeah I know, but that's too hard to do one handed (or I'm just too lazy). I was hoping there's a way to find the icons using a file browser or maybe someone has the icons in a zip.

You can also download a program called Turn off screen, using nova, after you set up "turn off screen" go to activities under gestures in Nova, and set double tap as turn off screen. Also, if you have root, in the app section, someone has developed the regular launcher with pretty much all options you can think of.
Have fun.

Wallpaper setting

Sorry for the noob question, but is there a setting for making the wallpaper stay in place instead of moving along when you flick the screen on either side of the homescreen?
Thanks

Wallpaper scrolling i guess. Try wanam
Good question
Actually I would like to know where this setting is hidden too. I remember having the option to flip the background on the note 2(even stock).

I'm trying to use wanam: check the home page scroll setting, reboot and it still scrolls like b 4. Any idea if there could be any other app mod be messing with wanam?
You can disable it in Apex and Nova... Apex gives you the option to choose between single screen (no scroll) (Multiple screen (no scroll) and multiple screen (scroll).
No root required...

[Q] Block recent apps and status bar

Hi,
I installed "One Locker" from the Play Store ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile.onelocker ) and I noticed when I press the home button, the app don't close. Also, I can't pull down the status bar.
How is this possible without setting the app as a launcher, like many other lockscreen apps are doing?
Question is also in the following post.

It is possible by overriding the onUserLeaveHint() method of the activity class and using the AlarmManager class. But as a security feature, the task u want to perform starts after 5 seconds. If u want to remove this delay then ull have to write ur own HomeLauncher.

I want to avoid that because if I use Nova launcher for example and set my lockscreen app as launcher (Nova will be opened by my app), then Nova will be in the recent apps and I really don't like this.

Hi,
I found a way to hide the launcher from the recent apps.
Please tell me more details on hide the recent app list and block the status bar from pull down.

Notifications

Hello 2nd question I'm afraid. How do you get notifications to show in the app icons? I get the notification when I swipe down from the top of the screen but that's it.
Thanks
Use a launcher with support for that or a standalone app (if there is?)
I use Nova Launcher with TeslaUnread.

Thank you. Is it either or do I use Both?

You need Nova Launcher and tesla unread. It's a plug in.
Brilliant. Cheers
