[Q] Lockscreen replacement on Oreo like Floatify - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i am the owner of a oneplus 3t with Oreo and i cannot use Floatify anymore because Google doesnt allow screen overlay?? I dislike the stock lockscreen and how the notifications are showed.
I have used floatify with notifications as an alternative before i upgraded to Oreo. In the past i have also uses NiLS to show notifications on my stock lockscreen but this app doesnt work on Oreo.
Is there an alternative app that shows notifications on my stock lockscreen /
Is there an alternative that replaces the stock lockscreen with notifications?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] missed calls on lockscreen

Hi.
I just got the 4.3.1 android on my s3. Is there a way to add missed calls to show on lockscreen?
Download NiLs from the Google Playstore. It provides a widget which displays all notifications which you can put on the lockscreen (just like iOS)

Optimal lockscreen app

I would like to install a lockscreen app that is simple, nothing fancy and contains only the following:
time and date with day of the week
weather info with a simple sunny/cloudy/rainy/windy icon and degree
can display app notifications with the first two lines of the message, the screen wakes up when receiving a notification
there's a quick access button to the camera
compatible with the 18:9 screen ratio and MIUI 9
doesn't contain advertisements
I've tried a lot of MIUI themes and from all of them I liked the lockscreen from theme "Cynroi" the best. I used CM locker on my previous phones, but I just can't make it work on MIUI Global stable 9.2.6. I would be glad if you had any suggestions or ideas.

Option to enable or disable weather animation vanished!

i click customize lockscreen and there is nothing there about weather lockscreen/animation.
any ideas?
Thanks

Any way to hide clock from lockscreen on non-rooted device?

Hi guys! Is it possible to hide the clock from the lockscreen on a non-rooted device? Thanks!
Install "good lock" utility and then "lock star" module. you can hide whatever you want from lockscreen.
I am using a tablet. Good lock doesn't seem to work in album mode, doesn't really override the stock lockscreen (first I see my stock loscksreen and only after that Good Lock is loading) and I can't find the lock star module.
I have Galaxy Tab S3 and S4, currently S3 is on Android P and S4 on Q. I have downloaded "Fine lock" app. Downloaded all modules via this app(as it takes you the the compatible version of Android and module) and they are working fine. Howeever, "the latest version of lockstar" having some issue with Android Q, so I installed one step version version. And it is working as it supposed to be.
OK, I downloaded Fine Lock and managed to get it working, clean locking LockScreen as I wanted, but now I have an issue with wallpapers. Fine Lock's styles only support Portrait oriented wallpapers, and I am using my tablet mostly in album mode. Any suggestions how to get horizontal wallpaper display correctly on lockscreen in album mode?

I do not know which version of Android you are on. But On my S4 with Android Q, I can choose any wallper with "LockStar" and it works fine. . You can activate autorotate and it will turn automatically.Or just Turn your wallparer to lanscape orientation with Gallary app or any other photo editing app. and apply it.

Navigation Gestures On Android 11 Miui 12.2.5

I Received Android 11 update miui 12.2.5 and since then Navigation gestures are no longer working on third party launchers like Nova. gestures are only working on System Launcher. Is there any way to use navigation gestures on Nova?

Sadly no and MIUI 12.5 also does NOT fix that
Same here since yesterday.
I use Fluid NG and work fine now.
I saw somewhere on the list of miui bugs, that this is intended behavior, and gestures will work only with default launcher....
Sorry for bumping,
Will the work if you have default system launcher but install Poco launcher?
I have done that on my mi10t lite on Android 11 MIUI but gestures do not work.
Also when I am using Poco launcher and when I switch my phone on my icons do not show for around 10 seconds is the Poco launcher from the playstore bugged or something?
It works fine on my Poco X3 NFC but it may be due to it being the default launcher on that phone

I've a mi 10t lite. I've tried a few solutions to this. You can create a very pixel like gesture bar using these gesture apps in the playstore
- X home bar
- Control gestures (so far this feels best and closest to Google experience)
But there are lots of third party apps that will give you gestures. Try a few and see what works for you.
- Download the gesture app of choice
- Set it up as you like
- Switch to gestures in settings/home screen
- Choose to hide the indicator
And you're back to swiping.
If anyone recommend another pixel like nav bar app, lemme know
