[Q] [Lollipop] Odd lockscreen behavior? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently flashed PA 5.0 on my LG G3 having previously used kitkat. One thing i'm noticing that's leaving a bad taste in my mouth is,
Why does the lockscreen go to the homescreen when I unlock the phone? It's supposed to show me the last app i had open, right?
At least that's what kitkat (and previous versions) did. Is this Google's change or Paranoid Android's change?
Or am I the only one with this issue? EDIT: Yes, yes I am.
More Edit:
Turns out it was just a bug in the unofficial rom i was running. Flashed a non-buggy version, now it's fine!
It was an issue with the Dev's quickunlock implementation. After unlocking the phone, it would go straight to the home screen instead of the last app.

KingCobra3D-ICS 1.5 - Lock screen call issue

Hi
I have recently installed KingCobra3d-ICS 1.5 and it is running brilliantly but i have one minor issue, when my screen is locked and somebody calls I have no option to answer it from the lock screen therefore having to pattern unlock it then answer the call, this is not a major issue but has caused me to miss a few calls due to it. My question is if there is a fix as it seemed to be a know bug in the earlier versions but was fixed in update 1.2, or will i have to reinstall the ROM from scratch to get it working?
I presume you have installed AOSP version od KingCobra3D. I have a solution, maybe not the best one. I installed the ROM with AOSP components but without the AOSP lockscreen. Sense lockscreen works fine on incoming calls.
Sorry I forgot to mention that, yes i have the AOSP lockscreen as it is more aesthetically pleasing than the sense lockscreen which is the main reason I am reluctant to switch back to the sense lockscreen. I will switch to slide unlock rather than pattern which will help the issue but I will continue looking for a resolution. Thanks for your reply.
I have found a workaround by using Llama to unlock the screen when a call is incoming.
Jaydrury1992, since you've been testing this ROM - did you experience any other glitches? How about camera, 3D and bluetooth as well as USB-connection? Thinking about switching from Virtuous Shooter to another ICS ROM where everything works flawlessly to be able to use the awesome PDroid Privacy Protection.
Got another fully working ICS-ROM in mind? Recommendations are VERY welcome!
Too bad CyanogenMod 9 doesn't provide working 3D effects and camera yet...

no problem on my side only use sense theme, fantastic rom

[Q] lockscreen issues on cm based 4.3 roms

I have been noticing on most cm based android 4.3 Roms i flash, that almost all of them have an issue with the lockscreen.
Every now and then (i'd say like every 1/10 times i notice that the lockscreen becomes unresponsive and i cannot unlock the device.
I have tried changing multiple settings related to the lockscreen, including putting a pin or pattern on and nothing helps, it still happens.
The thing that baffled me is that i have been doing research and no one else seems to have this problem.
I have used carbon rom, Paranoid Android 3.99 and beanstalk 8-29 and 9-17 and have had the issue on all 4 roms.
I always do a full wipe in between flashing Roms, exuding when i upgraded 8-29 to 9-17 (i will try that tomorrow)
I am looking for someone who has a solution or at least has experienced this problem.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated! thanks for your support.

[Q] Recent apps and Lockscreen background!

Hi everyone,
Well i think you may noticed that when you are on the lockscreen or viewing the recent apps, the background is still the same as the default launcher.
who is having the same issue ?
Thanks
yes i do have the same issue. But you can change that on lock screen > background in you rom setting. For recent apps, i have no idea.
I have noticed the same
Yeap!, I noticed the same thing. Hope its fixed in an update.:good:
Sorry to revive an old thread, but this is the only discussion I could find on this issue.
Just installed Themer on my HTC One M8 running CM12 nightlies - anyone else still getting this problem?

KitKat Lockscreen

Hey
I got my Galaxy Alpha about 4 months ago and I love it. I got used to KitKat and I recently updated it to Lollipop.
I'm loving it so far. But I'll get to the point, the only thing that bothers me is the lock screen. I loved the KitKat lock screen and these are the features I'll miss the most.
Music controls, flight mode button, overall look and feel. To me it felt more "transparent" than the new one. So if there is a way to revert it that would be amazing.
Maybe a lock screen apk or something like that? I know there is a way to change the lockscreen in android so it shouldn't be too difficult to revert the lock screen with fingerprint support.

Choose country and operator, download firmware and flash with odin. Instructions and link to odin also on same page.

Well that's the problem. I don't want to fully downgrade to KitKat. I just want the lock screen downgraded. I'm just wondering if I can take it out of the firmware in someway? Then install it. I still want lollipop, just with the kit kat lock screen.

Skinning Stock Android 5.x ROM to look like Android 4.3?

Hello,
I've been holding off upgrading to Android 5 or newer and have been sticking to Android 4.3 because I plainly do not like how the icons and graphics for Android 4.4 and up looks like. Would it be possible to make Android 5.x look exactly like Android 4.3? Perhaps with a skin?
For example, the shape of the Back, Home and Switch Window icons at the bottom of the screen, the position of the Quick Settings in the Notification Panel, the shape and icon design of the Wi-Fi and Cellular signal strength and so on.
I have my Sony Stock Android 4.3 Rooted, which allows me to apply security fixes (ie. disabling Stagefright in build.prop) and installing permissions managers but I think as Android 4.3 ages more and more exploits would be possible against it. So I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade to Android 5x and then skin it to look and feel like 4.3.
Thank you!

That's a very weird thing to do, but alright.
First of all, any reason why you're not on 4.4.4? That's the last KitKat version. Heck, 4.3 isn't even KitKat! It's Jelly Bean, so you're two versions behind. KitKat looks the same as Jelly Bean and runs much better than Jelly Bean.
Second, you can change the navigation buttons (the three buttons at the bottom) by either using an Xposed module or by installing an app (just google "change android navbar icons".
Third, you can also flash CM12.1 and use a theme. You won't find a theme that looks like the old Sony UI, because why would anyone make that, but you can theme it to look like anything else than stock Lollipop.
Fourth, you can stay on 4.4.4 and have a rather big issue at hand once you have to buy a new device It's not like Google will revert the design, so the best thing to do is to start liking it, or move to a different OS.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I've been trying some builds here and there, such as Cyanogenmod and Blisspop, I just have to use 5.x for a few days I guess.
What ROMs would you recommend that doesn't have broken features? Right now I'm using Sony Stock 5.1.1 and rooted it using the Kingroot app and replaced that with SuperSU.

The most stable ones are of course the official ones, so the one you're already running and the GPe port are the most stable ones. Also, I guess you can simply use a theme on the ROM you're running right now. Take a look here if you haven't already.
Bro just use lp with nova launcher
