[Q] Lockscreen app modding - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok this isn't exactly about flashing ROMs or anything but an app. I would like to mod this app for personal use. It is a lockscreen app (the one from L that was taken down from the Play Store) and for some reason it disables the default lockscreen and does not provide a way to have some sort of security measure (pattern, password, PIN, etc..). Is there any way for me to add the ability to create a security pattern? If you need the apk here is the post that has the link. Also if there is another thread in which I can post this in feel free to tell me and I will post this there as well.
Please keep in mind that I'm kind of new to app development but I am familiar with it's general layout.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] How to remove clock from the lockscreen?

Is there a way to remove just the clock from the lockscreen?
Why do you want to remove it? And I don't think this is possible.
it kinda gets in the way of the entire lockscreen picture
Don't think you can. I use widgetlocker which does.
yup, I was using Widget locker in the past but I like to use the stock lockscreen more (just without the clock). I'm trying to mimize using different types of widgets too
I wanted to remove the clock in order to capture the screen to use TW-wallpapers in different app.
Where can I find those wallpapers ?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

hi all,
i would also like to know how to do this manually, i guess by modifying a system file to change the boolean variable (i.e. TRUE -> FALSE, or FALSE -> TRUE).
but to answer the thread starter's question, this can be done on Leomar75 ROM Revolution using JKay Tweaks

Lockscreen Widgets

I tried using a google search, but all I found is that it is not possbile, without root anyways, to add widgets to the lockscreen. I find this a bit sad because I prefer to keep a pattern on my phone so my friends dont run through my photos and change languages on my phone. Is there a way to add widgets to the lockscreen while maintaining the security pattern?

I was wondering this myself as all i want to add is the email widget to the left.
If you still have the clock on the lockscreen swipe to the left and it should reveal another page. Tap the plus sign to add a widget page.
Edit: just got this device; sorry I didn't relize after adding lockscreen security it took the other pages away

Screen Lock with Intruder Detection?

Thanks

@ilordvader Booting into safe mode allows anyone to bypass third party lockscreen apps with ease.
@MikeChannon Please move this thread to the appropriate sub-forum.
This seems nice CM Locker
Only thing missing is it does not send GPS location
& they need to Add option, even if we Unlock the Phone it should click a Pic & E mail it
Also not display it on Phone(need option to Off that)
So even if Friends who know my Code & try to chk my Phone behind my back can be caught

Please help with app shortcuts on home screen!

I know that there are much tutorials and forum threads about this, but I couldn't find anything helpful for my case.
I'm customizing a ROM (AOSP 4.4.2) and need that some third party apps appear on the home screan each time I reset the device to default - just like phone app or stock browser.
So I'm not developing new apps where I could resolve it with permissions in the manifest and intent in the main activity - this are already compiled third party apps and as I need the possibility to update them through the market I can't do reverse ingeneering and editing them.
I would be thankful for any help.
