How to add or delete text from lock screen?
Either by ROM, App, or Rooting/Otherwise, is there a way to make the lock button have multiple functions on my Galaxy Nexus? My goal is to be able to use Voice Actions from a locked phone (like in the car, for example).I noticed some posts on editing hardware buttons, but that was neither for the Galaxy Nexus nor for a lock button.
Ideally, 2 quick clicks would pull up Voice Actions from a locked phone.I guess if I could permanently have Voice Actions in the notifications section, I could drag down from a locked phone and accomplish the same thing. I use slide to unlock, so dragging down on notifications bar is still available.
I have not rooted yet but would do so just for this functionality (I'm now a corporate tool so I try to hack as little as possible these days)...
Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the "Sprint" from the top of the arc (above the time) on the lock screen and replace it with my name? I'm having a hell of a time figuring it out and its driving me nuts! I've never had a phone where I couldnt figure out how to write over it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been adding, and uninstalling, I've been noticing some installed apps that I don't seem to be able to add to my screens, or use.
I was wondering what these were.
They are: -
Rosie Utility
Teeter
and
Street View (Okay I KNOW what this one is, but how do I add it to Google Earth/Maps)
Also I've noticed that on the pattern lock screen. There is a message that says, "This phone belongs to". How do I personalise this with my name?
to display the contact i have used this coding
Code:
Cursor cursor = getContacts();
String[] fields = new String[] { ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME };
//this.setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_checked,));
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter =
new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_checked, cursor, fields,
newint[] { R.id.contactEntryText });
mContactList.setAdapter(adapter);
exception is thrown, i got successful in textview but i want it in listview(scrollable) to add the contact, i have used the code
Code:
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValue(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID,0)
.withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(Phone.NUMBER, "1-800-GOOG-411")
.withValue(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM)
.withValue(Phone.LABEL, "free directory assistance")
[code]....
i both add and delete i am not getting any error, but it is not reflected nither in the contact nor in the textView.
After rooting my phone with Universal 1 Click and then flashing the KaosFroyo ROM, my phone now shows the text TeamandIRC ont he screen lock and a few other places I can't recall right now. Since I have root access, is there a way to change this? I appreciate the work that went into the ROM and prefer to show my support by making a donation, not by advertising to myself.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have set the stock messaging app to keep 75 text messages for each user. For some reason, once that 75 message point is exceeded, it only deletes the incoming messages. My replies are kept, and the total number goes above 75 indefinitely until I delete the long tail of my replies at the top of the thread. First, would I be correct in assuming that this is not normal behavior? Second, if that's correct, how do I fix this?
If it matters, I'm using an HTC Evo 3D with a rooted version of the stock ROM. The same problem happened before rooting. I don't believe this is a maker- or device-specific problem, but I'm happy to repost in the Evo 3D subforum if it is.
I am plan B and AVG security installed, both don't always work, I have pattern lock on the phone but even in pattern lock mode when i press and hold power button the phone gives me option to shutdown.
If someone steals my phone they will be able to shut it off without unlocking it since holding down power button still works. So is there a way to lock the power button from shutting off phone when the phone is in pattern unlock mode?
Is there a way to prevent a text message preview (name and beginning of message) from being displayed on the lock screen?

View 1 Replies View Relatedthere's any way to disable text message previews on my lock screen? Surely this represents a massive security flaw- having the text for anyone to read without needing to unlock- so I would have thought there was some way to remove this?

Is there a way to swipe a text message notification on the lock screen to open that message like you could do in Jelly Bean? My messages show up, but when I swipe them, the lock screen slides over to a second page. I tried playing around with some of the lock screen settings, but couldn't figure anything out. Am I missing something completely obvious, or is this somehow not possible to do?
Brand new S4 received yesterday, stock OTA 4.4.2 pushed by Verizon about 5 minutes after my phone was activated.
After playing a bit more, I found that if I swipe to the second lock screen page, then back, if I tap on the message notification it will open, but tapping before that yields nothing.
Would it be (easily) possible (for a dev, so not me) to add undo/redo buttons to text editing? This is a HUGE feature missing in Android, soon 2013, five years of android, and still not there...
View 2 Replies View RelatedA Tasker task that when I'm on the lockscreen, I can tap or double tap to turn the screen off. I've looked in the Tasker tasks and I'm unable to find anything for this. I already use the Nova gesture+ScreenOff app to turn the screen off when I'm unlocked and at the homescreen, which works perfectly. The only thing Nova can't do it turn the screen off from the lockscreen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been looking around for a couple weeks and I haven't seen anything nor has a search given me anything on this. Every time that I delete my text messages, or the majority of them, it freezes up my phone for a bit. Does anyone have any problems like this? Does anyone know any fixes?
View 11 Replies View RelatedWhat i'm trying to achieve probably requires an app, and I realise there are a couple of different ways I could go about it. I'm going to deploy 30 android tablets to a classroom in the College where I work, and since I love android, i'd rather not see this little experiment fail. Through a combination of "App Lock" and a widely distributed MDM, I have been able to accomplish most of my requirements, however i'd still like to be able to lock down the home screen, in particular, remove the ability for users to change the wallpaper (I have a nightmare that this feature would be abused from day one!).
I have looked at using different launchers (tried Apex and Smart Launcher) which nicely lock down the home screen, but they still allow users to change the launcher preferences which makes that approach a bit pointless.
my lock screen has a line of gibberish on it. At the top is the date/time an volume control, then a line across the screen as normal. Below the line to the left is like a status area, it normaly says nothing, or says Charging %% (if plugged in) or connect charger (if low battery). but for some reason this week if it is not low battery or charging, it has a line of jibberish that goes almost the whole way across the scree. is ~~~~~~+~~~~~aaqa~~a~~+~ What does this mean & how do I get it off my screen. It doesn't seem to effect the phone functioning. & as soon as I unlock the screen it goes away. So more of an annoyance then anything, but I want my phone to be working perfectly.
