I'm almost 100% sure someone has asked this before but no combination of terms pulls it up in search...
The basic question is this: why on some phones do the lock screens have items for sms/email as well as unlock and silent while other devices with the same lock screen don't?
I'm running a Samsung Galaxy S 4G and using the core Android lock screen (not the glass one that comes with the phone) and all I have is unlock and silent sliders but I've seen screenshots of other phones with sliders above them for sms and email.
Is this a device specific thing or something the device maker enables/disables or ...?

Hi,
I'm looking for the APK that asks me the good pattern to unlock my droid after I wake it up from screen off ?
could you please link me ?!
Not sure but I think what you're talking about is in the settings. You can go to security and set a lock pattern. You don't necessarily need a separate lock screen app if you just want a pattern.

There isn´t a way to add numbers to Emergency call´s.
The purpose of that feature is so that if there is an emergency you can dial an emergency number (911) without having to unlock the phone.
Also if you lost your phone you wouldn't want others to be able to make calls from the phone (another reason why it only allows emergency numbers).
I don´t know how to customize lock screen since i don't know which phone you have.

Hey guys, I just got a Note Edge (loving it btw) and was wondering if there are any lock screen replacements with decent notification features (like Snaplock) that also allows unlocking by fingerprint? I quite like the look of the normal TouchWiz lock screen so something like the DashClock Widget would be perfect since it adds notifications by way of widgets instead of a whole lock screen replacement but I just found out that TouchWiz doesn't allow widgets on the lock screen apart from the default digital clock. Can someone offer some suggestions? Either a lock screen replacement that allows fingerprint scanning or some way to allow widgets on the lock screen after I root it. Thanks a lot!
Go setting....lock screen...under screen lock select finger print.

It's already built into the phone and works great for me. I also like how when using PayPal you can swipe your fingerprint to pay. Can't wait till you can lock different apps with the fingerprint, this would be super useful.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. I've already registered 3 fingerprints and they work quite well in the lock screen (a lot better than what I had read from some accounts prior to purchasing the phone). What I would like is to have notifications on my lock screen like what you'd get on an iPhone or through lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next Lock Screen. The problem is, when I turn on one of these lock screen replacements in the settings, I get two lock screens. First the replacement lock screen appears with all the notifications and then after unlocking that through either swiping/pattern/pin (they don't support fingerprints), I get the system lock screen which allows me to use my fingerprint. Of course, I can just turn off the system lock screen but like I said, the other lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next don't support fingerprints.

How can u set up paypal?
With the upgrade to Lollipop, you can now get notifications to show on the lock screen (Settings > Device > Sound and Notifications). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow widgets to be used on the secure (fingerprint, PIN, pass, etc.) lock screens, so I am unable to put a weather widget on my lock screen. And since I have a corporate Exchange email account set up on my phone i can't opt-out of using a secure lock screen.
Like all of the other unfortunate AT&T customers that purchased a Note Edge, I got screwed over without the ability to root my device. I would really like to set my phone up the way I want it, as it should be.
And while i'm *****ing, why can't Samsung set up one of their Edge panels (briefing maybe?) to wake the edge screen and display notifications for SMS messages? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that be an ideal function to have with the edge screen? It's nice that they will allow sms notifications on the main lock screen now via lollipop, but why not put them on the edge screen where they should be on a device such as this?
If i'm missing something and there are ways to resolve my two complains please feel free to fill me in.

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get my phone to update to Lollipop so maybe that will solve everything. I have a factory unlocked phone bought in Australia so from what I read, the update should've rolled out ages ago but it never seems to see it. Anyways, I'm downloading the update manually now via sammobile so let's see!

Totally agree with you. Even if we don't get whole text messages scrolled across the Edge screen, at least light up a few pixels there to show us there that there are notifications waiting. I have a cover that doesn't allow me to see the notification light next to the logo but has a slit cut out for the Edge so that would be perfect.
I have a idea for a app that would change your home screen setup by the lock pin you type in.
Example: Lock pin 1 would be daily driver and home screen.
Lock pin 2 (child pin) would be open a different home screen and apps that will only be seen when that specific lock pin is entered.
Lock pin three would be another set up for when a friend or family adult member needs to borrow phone. Helps to prevent spying on pics, messages, emails etc.
Does anyone know how to create such a app?

That will need a custom lock screen and most probably a xposed module.
