I notice right off the bat if I wake my phone by pressing my lock screen, the widget I'm using (not just Calendar) is condensed. I need to manually drag the square down to see it in its entirety. However if I scroll across to other widgets on my lock screen, they are all the proper size. How do I set it up so I can see the full view of my center widget whenever I unlock my phone without touching the screen?
To be clear, I want picture 1 to look like picture 2 the moment I wake my phone. Is this possible?
Edit: I'm running stock vanilla Jellybean

It's not possible running stock. It was designed that way because the bottom half of the screen is needed for your unlock pattern.
You'll need to flash a custom ROM. They do this so you can unlock your phone quickly without having to drag up the widget.
I am trying to get the clock and the weather widget to show up on my lock screen - my old NOTE2 had the option in Lockscreen settings to show weather on Lock screen but I cant find that option here.
I was able to add a weather widget to the lock screen - but when you first open the lock screen all you see is the clock - then, if I swipe down on the screen - it opens the weather ap - see my screen shots attached.
The first is what you see when you first get to the lock screen
the second is what you see when youi swipe down.
I am wanting to get the look of the second screen shot - when you first see the lock screen -
any suggestions?

I couldn't find a way to do it either, so I downloaded this little app and it's kind of cool.

You can add several other notifications to it as well.
I use beautiful widgets on all my devices, lets me set weather, clock, battery, and all completely customizable. One of the few apps I ever paid for.

Can you set it up with pattern security? The images on the Play store shows that you can but I haven't been able to do so. Every time I set up the widget and set the pattern security, it reverts back to the standard default clock.
Well I did once, but it has now reverted to the regular lock screen. Looks like maybe a bug - The other notification extensions I picked are taking up the whole screen. When I first installed it moved everything small up next to the clock when I had the pattern visible on the lock screen. I'm not sure how to make the widget smaller as of yet. Other users have reported the same problem, so maybe there will be a future fix.
How do you change the lock screen wallpaper. It has the option but it doesn't even work....
I am trying to set it from a picture and have it stay that way. Seems like a bug unless I'm doing something wrong.
Same here, I've changed the lock screen wallpaper but it didn't seem to work.
Anyone else?
Just tried ...
Indeed there is a small glitch ...
i tried to change the Lockscreen background first to "Glaze" but i cancelled and take a pciture from my gallery.
And it worked - but for curiosity the "glaze" picture have now a checkmark on it and let me believe this is the one i have choosen.
But watching the lockscreen itself prove that it is my picture that is an the lockscreen

Can you elaborate
Solution kind of... Go to your lockscreen and swipe up from the bottom. There should be three options. Choose lock screen settings. Click on "wallpaper for today." Then click the plus sign in the bottom right hand corner. This will allow you to add a picture from your gallery. Once you have one saved in that list with random ones, go back to your lock screen. Swipe right until you find the picture you just saved. Then swipe up from the bottom and choose lock this wallpaper. It only lets you choose a max of 1 month but this will work. Pain in the a** but works.
sorry for beeing late ...
As you have your solution - still need a step by step?

it didn't work on me or i couldn't. any other advice?
I've got a similar problem. I somehow managed to change my lockscreen wallpaper at some point, but now it's stuck. My device is a A2017G B05 on the latest OTA Update. Using Google Launcher.
I was having the same problem. I saw some advice on this recent Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Axon7/comments/5fyyji/cant_change_lock_screen_wallpaper/
...that included setting the lockscreen wallpaper but NOT choosing to set that as homescreen when it asks you (just do that separately with the same image). I tried that at first and it didn't work, but I rebooted my Axon 7 and tried again and then it DID work. Hope that voodoo continues to work, but thought I'd pass it along here to see if it helps anyone else as well.
After so much time with the phone, it worked. I'm shocked tbh.
Before it was the default one but in settings it showed the one I chose. I just re-did it and it worked. Woohoo!
For anyone having this issue: Try rebooting.
Have: Nexus 6P stock 6.0.1. Need: some customization. Items in green have a solution.
I've enabled Developer Mode and System UI Tweaker. I'd like to do this without root, or anything that would affect individual Google Play-installable apps. (The reason is, I need this device for final user release testing, so it should be what users have just from factory reset + install apps and normal OS upgrades):
Different wallpaper on Lock Screen than behind icons and widgets. (Tried: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-screen-wallpaper-help-how-can-i-do.html - No triple dot menu visible in Wallpaper)
Full brightness on Lock screen instead of 90%, independent of brightness settings. ("OK" option: same brightness as manual brightness in Settings) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/home-lockscreen-brightness-t1704705 - no Lock Screen Options in Settings)
Disable peeking globally. ("OK" option: put them in the statusbar like 4.4.4) (I don't want to disable peeking for every new app I install: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...ifications-in-Android-6.0-Marshmallow_id75408) Temporary solution: I will manually disable peeking for every new app that shows them.
Global saturation setting for icons. (They're all saying "click ME!", that's an icon designer's job. With an excellent high-contrast screen like this, it's a crowd shouting.) ("OK" option: some other way of getting icons to look more Zen.) Icon packs for launchers are that "OK option", browsing tons on Google Play left Hexacon and Dual Shadow. So Hexacon.
Remove the Google Now bar from my Home Screen (without disabling any services). (As in, I taught the device my voice, so I don't need it there for me to tap. Tried: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-remove-the-google-search-bar-from-your-android-homescreen - it's not long-tappable nor draggable, nor does it appear under Google Apps in Widgets.) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
I'd like to be able to do this:
Some quick way (preferably swipe) to access a more compact Quick Settings widget, like on my Xperia Z. I've reduced it to 9, can't remove "Invert Colors" and Location toggles.
Global Night Mode for everything in the System UI - to make it look similar to the Quick Settings. (This is a "like to" only because it's been promised in N. I really need it like, now. ) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
Basically I have the greatest phone, so I want it to look good at all times, and with the aim Clean, Fresh, Zen.
I posted here bc the forum was most specific. Feel free to refer or advise me how to best get answers as I joined tonight.
Any & all advice on single questions is appreciated Not possible is a valid answer, and I'm also prepared to wait for N if that's the answer.
I used to think of "ok google" as a novelty but its become more polished and if it remains reliable Ill continue to use it more& more. As it applies to keeping things clean it sort of does eliminate need for extra widgets.
If you have ok google everywhere u can just say " ok google...launch settings". Same goes for music apps, podcasts, youtube videos etc.
Started using a new app other day you might like called sesame edge. I set it on the right edge, virtually invisible and it brings up quick access to apps.

Thanks, trying it out. Also tried Sesame in the hope that it would let me set a different lock screen wallpaper, but it only had "their automatic lock screen wallpaper or off" as setting. I sent feedback to them, so let's see.

I dont use a lockscreen but on Pure Nexus which Im using now there is an option to set lockscreen wallpaper.
I use action launcher 3 which doesnt allow me to remove google bar (i dont think) but nova will let u do that. I like the bar cuz on action launcher i can put several shortcuts for whatever i want.
ASAP launcher is very minimal. Again you cant REMOVE the bar but swipe down and it turns into a simple clock widget.

Thx, tried Nova and it gives me Night Mode. Thanks for that Still, no way to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen than on the home screen, and I can find no Prime option for it either. Pure Nexus requires CM.
Can I mix and match this type of apps? Will they interfere with each other? Sesame seems to work with Nova at least.
What about Hi Locker? http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-lock-screen-customization-android-lollipop-0160204/
Can custom lock screens lock me out of my phone, make me butt dial, hog battery? I just want to change the gdmn background!
As I wrote, if some feature comes in N I'd rather wait than mess up my new phone.

Seems Im constantly tweaking things and having problems recalling exactly what I used. I know making lockscreen different from desktop is something Ive done many times. Do u have xposed? Pretty sure gravitybox has that option.
As far as butt dials, I use sweep to wake & it was a problem. Always remember to put it in your pocket screen facing out. I also need to do that when using bt headphones or else i get distortion. Anyways if i find something relevant Ill let u know.
Thx for suggestions!
I want weather, clock, and a background that matches my high-end case on the lock screen AND NOTHING ELSE, and then wherever there are icons I want a neutral background or just a color so I can see them properly. I think that's being a normal user with sensible demands.
Right now a huge dark gray or white slate COVERS the background anyway. I don't mind it, it lets me see the icons of all manner of variety and quality against something neutral, still... just allowing a background to set behind your icons seems to be an easy addition... since Froyo... Anyway, end rant about Simple Things. Android at least lets you customize them.
I'm battling notifications now. Light Manager is recommended for the 6P - testing it out now for notifications that are actually important, will report.
So after I removed the special offers on the lockscreen, it shows some (around 5 I guess?) stock wallpaper on the lockscreen routinely. I know the wallpaper can be changed in display > wallpaper, but I can't find the place to change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Is there a walk-around to achieve it?
I've got the 6th gen HD 8, but in mine, I browse photos using the Prime Photos app. When I see one I want to use, tap it so it displays full-screen size, then tap the 3 dots (menu) in the upper right corner of the pic. One of the choices is Wallpaper. On my 8 HD, choosing and confirming this will set it as both the lock screen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper.

Thanks for helping. I really appreciate it. I was looking for the content related to "lockscreen wallpaper" and I didn't know that home screen wallpaper & lock screen wallpaper are changed at the same time.
Also, I can confirm that using your method and going to display > wallpaper have the same result.
There is a video which shows you how to do this

Totally unnecessary. Dragonfire1024 has demonstrated the way to change internal lockscreen wallpaper in his thread. As far as I know, that's the only way to customize the lockscreen wallpaper in a rotational way without using Amazon's app.
So...
What am i missing here? I've just changed my wallpaper, but my lock screen is still blissfully rotating pics from the folder of stock images that came pre-installed
EDIT found the answer in another thread. I mistakenly used Google Pics to change my wallpaper, not the control panel setting, which doesn't change the lockscreen.
On the other hand, this is a good work around to have different lock screen\wallpaper images.?

Sorry, but this was a year ago and I have no idea where I found it. Like I said in my comment though, my solution was to use the control panel. Also, did you pay to bypass the "sponsored" tablet? If not, you will always see the ads and never have control of your lock screen.
Other than that, I really can't offer much help. To be honest, I barely notice what my screen looks like these days. I use my Fire so infrequently I just open it, use it, and shut it off. So I don't know if the interface has changed.
Wish I could be of more help.
Disable the unwanted lock screen. Can you use Kustom Lock Screen Creator from Google Play Store
