I'm having an issue about 4.3 lockscreen. I was using 4.1.2 and it was good. But installed a rom. All good but this. I'm always using pattern lock for security. On 4.1.2, i can use shortcuts + pattern lock. But in 4.3 there's no option for it. When i enable pattern lock, shortcuts disabling. How can i enable both? Gt-N7100

so recently I bought my new Android phone, Gigabyte Gsmart Aku A1, which is really great, MTK 6598 runs smooth as butter, I've already rooted it, but I can't find on settings how do I change the Lockscreen Shortcuts (Running 4.2.1 JB) and I also can't find anything on Settings on how to change the Notification toggle shade, because I want stuff to be remove and added. I can't find anything on settings. Maybe you can give me SystemUI which as that kind of settings?

If you can use this function in combination with the multi-user android?
"A picture is worth a thousand words"
look at the picture attached here!
My rooted device is shared. I already set-up multi-user profiles for each of us:
1-Family mode
2-My mode
How is possible to switch profile based on lockscreen pattern?? example: "pattern1" triggers My mode while entering "pattern2" triggers Family mode.
So I will have certain apps automatically blocked when in family mode (hides some applications, sms, calls, and/or maybe starts a blacklist?) But unlocked in My mode
Is there a way to do this? or is there an app/hack that can closely do some of it?I don't need exactly the multiuser feature. but at least a way to start an app or two (maybe a blacklist, lock gallery/other app) with the pattern2 of the lockscreen.
Right now I'm using the Pattern Lock for my Note 2. Using Elixer2's single widget set to enable/disable the pattern lockscreen, it seems to randomly work. I've made sure to allow admin rights to Elixer2.
I'd like to be able to lock the screen when at work, and not have it enabled when at home.
The Elixer widget is very random. Sometimes it'll work, sometimes it'll work after a delay, after I try to open some apps, etc.
Was wondering If anyone knew a simple way to change the lock pattern on the lockscreen? I'm not a fan of the stock lockscreen and wanted to change it, if possible. I've tried lockbot and lock 2.0 but it's really hit or miss most of the time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there an app that will let me run window shortcuts/commands from an android device? For example, here is what I'm trying to accomplish:
1. I have 3 monitors but due to limitation in my video card, only 2 monitors can be shown at a given time.
2. I want to easily switch between them using the phone instead of from the PC.
3. If you have windows 7 you know that to switch displays you can press the windows+P keys and then toggle between 4 different display options. I created shortcuts for this since I only need one of the display options, not all 4. So I just have to double click and it'll quickly switch, cool.
4. So now I just need a way to be able to run that shortcut away from my PC.
To can you understand my question I will give you example with windows XP. The desktop shortcuts in winxp are stored in folder C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktop. If I save this folder and later I lost all shortcuts I can restore it.mI have this problem with the apps shortcuts in my phone home screen. My question is where is the location of this folder, where android store the shortcuts in the home screen? My phone is root and I have root explorer installed.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible for an app(or virus) on android to place shortcuts on the main page of my launcher?
If so, how can I find out what is causing this and remove it.
I'm puzzled as to why I randomly get shortcuts added to my phone screen. They are smaller than all the other icons, and when I select them they take me to the appstore to download that specific app. These shortcuts are for apps I have not downloaded. I can't find them in my programs to remove, either.
I'm certain this is a result of another game I have downloaded, but I can't see where to shut it off. I've witnessed my phone flash something like 'Shortcut for Play Castle Crash created' while on a phone call or in another app. I'll remove it from my screen, but it'll reappear after a few hours. And if I don't remove them, they will fill all empty shortcut spots.
I have been looking for an app that will place a small, transparent icon on my screen that can launch an application. I would love to have an icon that looks something like the icons for SmartTask Bar and ButtonSavior. But I just want it to be a shortcut so that I can launch any other app the same way.
Here's an image of what I'm talking about.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a lockscreen replacement that does not act as an app. All the lockscreens that I have installed from the Play market, act as an app, and as soon as I kill background apps (long pressing the home button and clearing running apps) when I lock my phone again, and unlock it the lockscreen is gone. Why is this not happening with my stock lock screen? Why do they even have lockscreens in the App store if none of them work?

I have recently got an ICS update on my Motorola Atrix 2 in India. I have been using gingerbread for quiet a long and now suddenly everything has changed.
I have anyway explored almost all the changes in ICS. But I am still not able to find one feature which I really loved in gingerbread.
When I press and hold on empty part of home screen, a pop up comes up listing widgets, shortcuts, folders and wallpaper which is now replaced by wallpaper only. However, widgets can be still added after pressing menu key and selecting widgets tab. Folders can created by just dragging and dropping apps on one another.
But the most shocking part for me is that there is no way I can create a shortcut or at least I didn't find. I had pinned "catch" notes on my home screen in gingerbread which is not working anymore although the option is still there in the catch application.
Using Astro File Manager, I used to create my important folders from sd card as shortcuts on my home screen which is also not working any more. Is there anything I am missing out or ICS for motorola atrix 2 doesn't have that feature?
Recently my Eclipse IDE seems it has stopped letting me use the common shortcuts like Ctrl + Shift + O and it is not prompting me with suggestions when I hover my mouse over an error.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAny list or link to a list of keyboard and mouse commands for our tablet?
I have a bluetooth mini keyboard* with a built in mouse and I would like to be able to control my tablet from my couch while it is connected to my TV's HDMI. However, I cannot figure out how to do basic tasks with the keyboard. The keyboard is this type: [URL] ......
Also, I'm not sure if the commands are tablet-specific, Android specific, or if they even exist at all. (I have searched XDA and Google, but because I do not know exactly what keywords to use, I am coming up without answers!)
Shortcuts I mainly need:
1-3) The three icons in the lower left of taskbar (they don't appear through HDMI): Back, Home, and the Prev Apps
4) Change homescreens/swipe left and swipe right (I can long click and move the mouse to do this, but it is difficult to do with my mouse since it is a knob type)
5) Long hold
6) Any other commands... heck, let's make a database if it doesnt exist already!
In case it matters: I am using ICS 4.0.3 stock (with root).
I have about 150 apps installed, but only 30 of them are currently on the homescreen.
Is there a way to add the remaining 120 at once to the homescreens?
If I would have to do it manually (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1) it would take at least an hour to do (adding one shortcut is extremely slow, as my tab needs about 10 seconds to display the list of apps alone when creating a shortcut).I don't have to do it manually for each app.
Is it possible to add app shortcuts to the homescreen so they show when android loads up for the first time? It would be ideal if I could somehow edit the ROM zip file so I can flash this to many devices.
