Before upgrading to lollipop, the lockscreen settings had a feature to set the lockscreen to 'None'. In lollipop, I do not see 'None' as an option anymore. I played around with the new smart lock feature, but have now turned off Google's smart lock trusted agent and now I do not see the'None' lockscreen feature available. Wow!
Update: Oh well. That's what I get for playing around with multiple users too! I deleted the other user and now the 'None' lockscreen setting has returned.

Is there a way to have the "swipe" lockscreen wall paper enabled when a lockscreen (pin/password) is turned on?
I like the Samsung wallpaper lockscreen. I also like to keep my phone locked with a pin/password as well.
I want to know if I can have both enabled and functional ?
Thanks.
ummm, I'm not sure what you mean?
You want the Samsung lockscreen (the one where you drag the static wallpaper) AND the pin/pattern lockscreen enabled simultaneously?
I wouldn't think you could.... This doesn't make much sense (no offense), or I am confused.
The Samsung lockscreen is nice (visually) but offers no security. You swipe and it goes away. But I DO like the way it works (swipe wallpaper) AND need security.
Just curious.
Android 2.3.x only lets you do this when your using the the pin lock. When you use the pattern lock it wont let you use both. So change your security to pin and ull see both the swipe screen and then the pin screen. Least thats how it worked on mine when i had it.
Its silly they didn't add this. I know you can use the notification bar within the lockscreen if there is no security but I want the security. Yes I know I can get PowerAMP/PlayerPro and use the app/ICS lockscreen but want to avoid that?
I know you said you want to avoid it but I bought PowerAmp and it's so much better than the stock player it's well worth getting even without the lock screen control it gives you. Just my two cents - sorry I can't offer any help with the stock player.
Security
I have noticed that my spotify music control only comes on when i have a pattern enabled in security.
I would say Widget locker, and some widgets.

no ruins the swipe lock then and all its features. I was actually looking for a way to get the controls on the swipe lock. It so dam annoying :crying:. Samsung always messes up the lockscreen on all there devices.
My first Galaxy S and SII both had music control on the lock screen but when you enabled security you would then loose "swipe lockscreen" and just be prompted with the security screen. With the S3 since they added the swipe lockscreen on top of the security screen I was hoping for native music controls but they messed up again. Seems like the reason is because the notification bar can be accessed from the swipe lockscreen so no need to clutter the lockcreen but of course it does not work when you enable security.
PowerAmp is actually not bad and the ICS lockscreen works well its still annoying you have to get to the ICS security lockscreen before a track can be changed, main reason i wanted it on the swipe screen was while driving in a car.
This is a major feature for me and was actually the sole reason why i returned the S2 for the hTC Raider and kinda hoped they sorted it out by now.
Try "Notification Toggle" since ICS and JB let you use the pull down even when locked (not sure about that if there is a lock code/pattern. but its quick and works pretty well.
i just have the FF/REW/Pause-Play .. works great!
this?
You can pull the notification bar down by default anyways if you don't have security. The point here is to pull down with security.
My music controls work as long as I use pattern or face unlock.
seems you are using google music am i correct?
Also stock ROM?
Yep

Hey there
My G4 is hardware encrypted and secured with a pin-lockscreen.
Now I would like to change the default app shortcuts on my lockscreen.
But I can't find any settings for changing these shortcuts...
Is there any hidden settings, to change these shortcuts, or is it a bug in the LG Android UI?

You need to remove pin lock to change the shortcuts, then reinstate it once you have the shortcuts you'd like there. LG removes the option when you have a secure lockscreen for some stupid reason.
thanks for your reply
the problem is, I can not disable pin-lock because of my device encryption settings. And encryption can't be disabled without a factory reset :/
Looks like I need to wait for an other solution, eventually a dev will release a Tweak-Box app for changing all these small things. I would definitely appreciate it.
I recently reverted back to stock LP (20G) from CM12 and I'm having an issue with the lockscreen. I know that by default, LG has specific apps on the lockscreen but you can change them in Settings. I don't seem to have that option (see screenshot below). I also have the pattern lockscreen with smartlock for face detection enabled just to get Android Pay working. I've tried disabling the pattern lock, disabling the smartlock, wiping the cache, factory reset, everything. Anyone have any ideas on how to change those apps? I don't use the stock LG messaging app and don't need the Gallery to launch from the lockscreen.
Thank you in advance.
Change your lockscreen to Swipe, then it reappears in the lockscreen customize section. Edit your shortcuts, then change your lockscreen back to whatever you want.
It is on swipe. I tried turning it off, changing types, and it's currently back on.
Hi all,
I'm using the lockscreen notifications to get informed about new messages, traffic information,... without unlocking the phone. What I don't want to see on my lockscreen are persistent notifications like AdGuard or my network speed meter. In the notification settings I can only switch them on/off globally, so they will also disappear from the status bar (but that's exactly where I want to see e.g. my network speed).
I'm pretty sure, there was an option sometime in the past saying 'Hide notification on lockscreen'. But I cant find that anymore in Beta19 nor Beta20. How do you control what is shown on the lock screen? Is this option hidden somewhere? Or do you use a third party lockscreen app?
Edit: I learned now, that I have to have a lockscreen defined when i want to change the visibility on the lockscreen.... Anyway, any recommendations for a good third party app?
