From a stock phone, I'm not 100% sure it's possible. If you're rooted, you can do this.

There is only one way to do this that I have found- Remove all apps on the launch bar, then use a 3rd party launcher like Nova and you can re-add items to that launch bar and your lock screen will remain clean. (I use Nova Launcher Prime)

hi
ok cool thanks..
yes i have prime too from s3
..so you aren't a blink feed fan then?
i heard that using other launchers made phone run less smooth :-\

I love blinkfeed and use it everyday with Nova Prime. You can add a shortcut to do this by following these easy instructions:

-Open blinkfeed default launcher
-Delete all additional screens with the exception of blinkfeed
-Set Nova as default launcher
-Long pres on home screen and choose:shortcut>activities>HTC blinkfeed>HTC Blinkfeed "launcher"

This will place a shortcut on your desktop that launches Blinkfeed. Pressing the home button returns you to Nova

I hope this helps!
